Gday

[Big Red]

Just found the forum so thought i should join up.

Have a GU ute comp truck ... but its parked under the mango tree at the moment ... needs a new motor and a fair bit of work but i guess after 10 years of abuse you'd need a bit of TLC too :wink:

Got a GQ petrol wagon with just a 2" lift ... needed something legal to get to the comps in.

Also got a stock MK TD ute that i bought to do a Cape York Misers Challenge [basically we had to buy a 4x4, get it rego'd and drive it from Cairns to Cape York and back for less that $3000.00] but its a great old thing and went so well i also did the most easterly, most southerly and highest points in Aus and have planned to try and make it to the most westerly point in May ... wish me luck :biggrin:

Hi and welcome to Nissans Nut House Red.

Tim

Yep ... the MK is still going strong :)

[Big Red]

The Mk completed the East West East trip with no probs, couple of small welds on the tray, a puncture, broke a headlight and a mirror.
pulled a sway bar bush through the sway bar.

I think that was about it :049:

You can check out the trip report here ...
