Re: 13-Jan-2013 - Labertouche - standard tbc

Hi Greg. Yes I would be happy to go as a passenger. Thats if there are enough cars and room. If not, there will be other trips I'm sure.
Regards, Wayne.

Re: Gives us all a bad name.

Gidday Felas. They think it was spotlighters, but the tracks were clearly 4wd.

Gidday fellas. I'm not sure if a standard sierra could cope with the tracks you blokes use. But if theres a possibility, I would like to go too.

Gives us all a bad name.

Gidday fellas. I have clients I do regular work for in Toolangi. They are strawberry runner growers and first class people. Part of thier property backs onto the state forest. About 6 mnths ago someone drove into one of thier paddocks, without permission, then cut the fence. A strong chain mesh fenc...

Re: tyre pressures

It is probably a bit unfair to blame the tyre shop in this case. Like most tyre shops parking is in short supply. My sierra was in bits in the shed. So I delivered the bare rims in a wheelbarow. The shop is very close to my house. Then I took the wheels with new tyres fitted home in my other car. So...

tyre pressures

The diference between 40 psi and 20 psi is a lot. A noticeable diference in ride and steering.
Thanks Steve. Wayne. :oops:

Re: Toolangi SAT 17th NOV

Darn! Would have been a good first trip for me and my little ute. But I work most saturdays. Hope there is a next time. I bet you all had fun.

Re: Cobaw state park - Hard - NOV 25

I would sure love to go on this trip. It would be a real eye opener for me, but my stock sierra would never cope. I would be willing to pay an entertainment fee , say half a tank of petrol? If anyone has room for me. Luigi.

Noisy rear diff.

Finally got my sierra going again. But now I will have to rebuild the rear diff. I have the diff center out on the bench. There is about 30 thou backlash between the pinion and crown wheel. I dont think there should be any, right? I see there are bearing sets for sale on ebay for about $120. Are the...

Re: Metal Bending

Hi jonfromhamilton. A method I have used to bend steel, although not over that length. But i think it could still work. With an angle grinder, score a line along where you want the bend to be. About half the thickness deep. If the metal is 5mm, then the score would be about 2 to 3 mm deep. Then clam...
