Hi. I'm Dan from Australia.

These are my stories.

to the forum bud, cool to have you join up.

Your sierra build is coming along awesomely!

The pictures are fairly jumbled, but this is stuff I can find of my past few years wheeling in my Blue Sierra.

Specs are basically 1.3L, 5spd, 6.5's, 3.7 diffs, 31" Maxxis Treps, RUF, Twin Lockrights, Trail Gear front CV's/Axles.

Thanks ScottieJ! I didn't know this forum existed until the other day!
Looks good!

This happened, due to a frayed throttle cable sticking the throttle on.


I got it kinda fixed up the next day and drove it for a while (some of the above photos are post-rollover)

But I was never happy with the car afterwards. So a rebuild was in order.

I spent a large amount of time as spotter for this thing

Then rebuilding it from just the engine/driveline and cowl into this.


So my car got kinda ignored,

to the club.

Some nice challenging pictures there.

It's not a bad little forum. Not as much hardcore tech as on some other forums but there's a real good bunch of members on here.

Man I want to move to Australia just for the wheeling!

I bought some 33x10.5r15 BFG KM2's.


Some 4.6's.


Spidertrax Transbrake.


I made this bar for it, but didn't really like it.. So sold it.


Mounted the 33's to my beadlocked rims.

Love it


Checking where they hit.








I started on the guards



Looked at other airbox options


I have built a Vitara Hybrid Full floating axle for it



I didn't like it much, so I recently gave it a birthday.



At the same time I have decided to try Hilux front springs in the rear.

Here's' a poor photo of me mocking it up.


Setting it up


Both sides in.


New plates for the new springs


aaaand that's about up to date.

Here's a random photo from the last couple of weeks.

so how do you rate the trepadors on the rocks/boulders, and mud? I'm in NZ, and considering getting them for my wagon too, as I've heard good reviews about them
