so ive been away for a couple of days.....but i've been working on a long running project of mine and it's pretty much to the point where i dont really know what else to do, i know i could have spent the money on my corolla but this is really my sort of passion building it up and heading out bush and enjoying the scenery. Well heres some pic's of my second car and what i got up to over the weekend.

Nice 4wd, great pics! I remember long ago I had those rancho suspensions on my wishlist lol! Can you adjust them from the drivers seat? If petrol wasn't so damn expensive (and if I wasn't married with kids) I'd still be trying to modify my old landcruiser bundera. Out of curiosity where bouts did you head offroad?

[flipsta24]

yea you can get the in-cab control box to adjust the shock settings but i didnt bother with it as apprently it would leak after a period of time so i just kept it with the control knob on the shock still pretty easy to get to under neath the car, mainly out towards lithgow (lostcity) used to be appin but not anymore as everything has been gated so now lithgow is my weekend sort of destination, if there is anyone out there with a 4wd and want to go for a day trip let me know as i would be happy to take some people out that way even if you have never been 4x4ing before

I remember it musta been 9-10 years ago now, I went up there camping for a weekend and 4wd'ing in these tracks where they do logging up around there... Pretty fun driving through the tracks... Then drove through the hawkesbery river near penrith on the way home...

You must be from around blacktown area I think I've seen your 4wd before driving around bungaribee rd.. Have you ever passed through there?

yea lithgow has change over the past 10 years so many tracks to choose from now

i used to live in glendenning about 10 years ago, but now i live in campbelltown but i still drive to blacktown for club meets as it's based in blacktown so you may see my 4wd occasionally it will either be me or my dad driving
