Hi there,

My names Luke.
Was a chef for 10 years here in NZ, did some IT work for a resort, and for the past 8 years I've been a green-keeper at Kauri Cliffs golf course.

Had a few trucks in the past, Rocky, Pajero, and recently been given a 89' LWB Y60.
Best truck I ever seen. Was pretty stock and done high k's so I'm showing her a bit of TLC and doing whatever work I can on her.

I know basic mechanical work but using the info on the forums here has had me learning new skills.

I've used the forum here to for the past year whenever I've been stuck on things, but lately I've been looking up stuff everyday. I've got new Tough Dog shocks, springs (50mm lift) and radius arm bushes to put on; have front bearings and seals I have to put in; new tierod to put on and a whole list of other stuff to do, but at least I'm at the right place to get a bit of know-how.

Thanks for letting me apart...even if I am a Kiwi,

Luke
