October Meetup thread 11, 12, 13th Knockwood

[Drewboyaus]

Is there any slop in the panhard bushes, king pinbearings or wheel bearings?

Dunno yet, but I'll check it out.....might even jack it up at Johnathan's place when I'm over there tomorrow and give the wheels a wiggle.

[Drewboyaus]

Ok, so everything bearing-wise seemed tight as. Panhard rod bushes seem ok too.
Some of the wheels are missing weights though and given it got worse after my last outing I suspect now they've come off and the wheels are not balanced properly.
I'll book it in to get the wheels balanced and see if it improves.......

[Bloodyaussie]

I am now sitting on 4 inch lift and will give it all a shake down next weekend before the big trip... should be fun, just waiting on panhards.

Is it the 11th yet.

What time are we scheduled to leave AB's on the Friday.

[MEGOMONSTER]

Will it be OK if I have a tag-along or two come up with me on Saturday morning, one patrol pretty stock I think, haven't spoken to him in months and the other is a hiluxifer, but i think he wont drive and probably jump in my car.

[AB]

Gents I just found a great climb only 10 mins from house. Directly opposite my road 10 minutes down dirt road...awesome!

I've only done it on dirt bikes previously but thought I would try the patrol tonight but got hooked up sideways and im on my own and it's a saturated slippery track in the wet. No good solo...lol

Will be moderate in dry but awesome in the wet!!!

Thursday night taster before our meet up is in order as I need a second set of eyes.

just thought when you snaged your tyre in the snow your rim might be slightly out of round

[NissanGQ4.2]

That's perfect mate!!!

Monday the week before would be perfect :)

Thinking of taking more leave now from Monday 8th and go back Wednesday 16th or Thursday 17th, but unfortunately Erin can't get the Wednesday off and its to hard organising with the kids. Monday 7th is a public holiday anyway so might as well take another few days :)

[Ben-e-boy]

That's perfect mate!!!

[rusty_nail]

[AB]

We may as well leave at 9am at my place?

I'm easy...

Benny, 2.5-3 hours from my place to camp.

[Ben-e-boy]

Nah there is a heap of guys camping at ABs Thursday night so a party in the church is in order mate. No point leaving earlier than that I reckon.

[Ben-e-boy]

[MudRunnerTD]

If he's not just Trash the Place mate!! That will learn him!

[AB]

I probably can't take it off and ill have to see how that week pans out as no one can do my job so I have to try and wrap everything up.

Leah and Mia will be there though mate, stock the fridge, get the fire going and ill be there as soon as I can...lol

[Winnie]

Woohoo less than two weeks to go! I am so excited

[taslucas]

Woohoo!

And I just realised that it's a public holiday this coming Friday here too. So 4 days of work this week and two the next and 3 the one after:-)

[Bloodyaussie]

The wind has been something else here in recent day and hope the trend does not continue for our trip.

My new panhards should arrive Tuesday and all I need is an adjustable tie rod... hint hint.

Go to Tallarook on Saturday to test all the new gear out and see if I need to make changes.... its going to be a long couple of weeks!!!

[taslucas]

The wind has been something else here in recent day and hope the trend does not continue for our trip.!

[Winnie]

The wind has been kittens.

[Alitis007]

The wind has been off its head !!! Its pulled the laser light off the garage at my mrs house and i doubt i'll have time to sort it out before the meet.


I might have a navi, my mates son who's looking at getting his first car and he's torn between a 100 series or a gu but i've been twisting his arm and i think he's leaning towards the gu more.

[Winnie]

Lol! i was telling him to get a td42 so see how we go. His dad drives a 100 series and he rekons he can go anywhere until i tell him to go for a drive and see how long he can follow me for, but he's always got something on and can't go for drive....... Coincidence??? I think not HAHAHA!!!!

Not a chance mate I am under the pump at the moment... when the sun shines I must make hay!!!

Good to see it went well. . How the wheels go.

I am so tired.. and can see I am going to be punished this next couple of weeks but all I think about any spare minute is this trip.

I really think we need to split the group up or it will turn into a constant waiting game.

I think the guys that want to fly do so and the guys that want to pace it follow up.

Apparently some of the guys reckon I set the pace a bit quick... I only got the rear end in the air once.

[Ben-e-boy]

If we have to travel in low range I am pretty slow,I cant do any more than 20kmh in low.

[taslucas]

[Alitis007]

No we call them rock ledges, we dont class shopping centres or soccer fields as offroading lol.

We don't class them as off road either mate, they're burn out and lawn ripping pads 348413484234843

Ones my cousin, one was cruse for charity and the other was drag tag ( i think, can't remember LOL!) commos are like gq's, a dime a dozen and the care factory is 0 the local pick-a-part has tons of parts.

[Winnie]

While unfortunately Kris can't make it, he sure will be there in spirit!

Might be doing a day trip to Big River this weekend. If I do, I'll sus out some tracks to do from AB's joint through to Knockwood. Should beat a boring dirt road.

[MEGOMONSTER]

Guys who can't wait

Winnie+ Lucas
Benny
AB
Jonathan +Georgie
Rusty nail+ Todd
Drewboy+Navi
Mudrunner
Liftlid
George
Roofy
Rossco
MEGOMONSTER


Guys who can't decide

Matty
Matfew
James (my plumber mate)
Cridy and Ricky (Mego's mates)
Stretch

By the way what channel we for the trip.

My problem will be everyone being asleep and no one near radio when I get closer.

[taslucas]

By the way what channel we for the trip.


I have an easy way of remembering......
The uhf channel is equal to:

Winnie's age.

Benny: amount of travel in inches.

AB: litres of pi$$ that'll go on the toyo.

Jonathan +Georgie: amount of neck punch threats given in a week.

Rusty nail+ Todd: hours spent "broken down" on a lonely stretch of highway.

Mudrunner: times he's changed his suspension set up.

George: 6 times the amount of actual offroading he's done.

Roofy: minutes before he misses TD.

MEGOMONSTER: daily posts of his seats.


So the answer is 17:-)

[Winnie]

There is one flaw in that..... that's the amount of neck punch threats Jonathan will give in an hour, not a week.

[taslucas]

Damn, I must have missed a decimal place.....

[Bob]

What channel UHF? I think

[Bloodyaussie]

I have sent a PM to the member who expressed interest.

Also another reminder this is not a club run but a bunch of mates out for a drive and in no way is Nissanpatrol.com liable and any damage sustained while out on the tracks is solely on the driver.

Andy grow up, you bloody child!!!!!!!

I think I am going to train Erica up like the girl in "Kick Ass" and she can kick the crap out of all you jokers while I sit back and drink beer!!!

[Winnie]

As if you haven't trained her in the art of neck punching!

[taslucas]

I picked up a compressor yesty, new UHF antenna so gotta get that fitted sometime when the rain stops out here......

I ordered a superior tie rod too. That will sort out my wobbles. Narrowed it down to ball joints. Might be fitting a few extra goodies to help the 35's clear too. Feel like trying to organise this job this week so I am finished ready for next weekend lol. BRING IT ON again.. Can't wait!!!

[Winnie]

I just drove to Lang Lang and took 3 times the normal time waiting for DSE to cut trees off the road.

That's a great offer. Winnie is all set to get me on Thursday but if I could get dropped off there Monday morning by someone it would probably save Winnie driving out the way on his way home. But no doubt we will work something out.

Been driving around on my 3 inch springs with spacers so am sitting at 4inch and I think I went with to firm a spring and am not happy...

I am going to see how it goes Saturday but if I dont like it I will pull them out and put my old springs in for the Knockwood trip.

[Bloodyaussie]

Just wanted to see what it looked like at 4inches..... looks good but not practical for a daily!!

And I meant old springs.......

[NissanGQ4.2]

Just wanted to see what it looked like at 4inches..... looks good but not practical for a daily!!

I drove mine around with a 4 inch suspension lift and 2 inch body lift, no anti sway bars and it was just as practical ( even better ) as a daily compared to when it had the old worn out suspension in:)

[Winnie]

But you are young and nimble while Jonathan.....

[Bloodyaussie]

These springs are very firm........ that is more so the issue.

Oh f%$k is it the 11th yet??????????????????

Lookin' good Winnie. Did you use a Ram mount for the iPad? Is that an iPads mini?
With those Rooftoos maps it's a piece of piss to navigate now.

Full size ipad and yep it's a ram mount, very solid unit. Those rooftop maps are so good!

[Winnie]

I was very lucky and got an absolute bargain on eBay ($60 for the ipad) but retail price is about 800 for the iPad. The suction cup was 70 bucks and the maps cost me $50 to be able to import custom maps.

It definitely won't be left in the car only for when I am out bush and need it for navigating.

I would not classify that as a bargain, a bargain would be if they gave you $600 bucks for using it
