Mitsubishi and Suzuki... You would fit into my family well haha. How do you ride off road with those tyres? I would imagine the first mud you encounter would screw you...

Mud is a no go, clay is tricky but can manage it.
I've only ever had trouble biting up ruts with the front wheel but other than that they're alright :)

pretty much 70% road, 30% gravel.
Can pull 90kmh on gravel quite easily until you come to really loose stuff and end up sideways [MOG]

here's an example of what it's like on loose stuff...
I left work a few weeks back in quite a hurry (was 3pm, had to be home at 3:10pm and it takes 20 mins to get home lol)

started the bike, warmed it up, got on and dumped the clutch on what i thought was pretty solid ground.
ended up a 6 metre burnout followed by being sideways.
Really considering throwing some road rated trail tyres on though because it gets dangerous at times.

anyway, when i returned to work the next day...

and it's also pretty dangerous in the wet on these tyres, can't use engine brakes at all :'@

The 4x4 looks like fun, I've never driven anything like that before. No dirt around my area :P

I'll post some pics of my cars later, I have a bunch of photos on photobucket somewhere.

It would be alot funner if it were bigger!

I'm thinking on either going to an 80 series land cruiser with a blown LS1.

OR, a 1997 4 runner with a blown 1UZ-FE.

whichever i can get my hands on at this stage.

I posted this in the general car thread a while back. Here's my photobucket album where I dump random pics of my cars and the small little mods, projects, repairs etc related to them. No glamor shots there though. However my good mate is a professional photographer and he said he wanted to do some cool location shots one day.

I picked up a 1985 VK for $600 a few weeks ago. Got interested in them after doing alot of work with my next door neighbour on his (basically a shell when he got it. Full car now)
ill post a pic tomorrow. Its not much. Good for a first car and a car i plan to have for a while (project car if you will)

Just need to pick up some new Timing Gears for the engine and a few bits and pieces here and there (mainly interior work) :)

Vk's are pretty sweet greeny.
Basically a vl with a lesser motor in them and because of that they are cheap.
Still can get most parts new from places like covs or super cheap etc. and they don't cost a crap ton.

Manual or auto? I'll assume auto until you prove otherwise.

Yeah it's auto. Might swap it over later down the track. But im happy that parts are cheap etc.

I really like the VK commodore and have always wanted a blue Brock with HDT aero rims.

Even if I couldn't afford an original Brock I'd still love to build up a tough Calais, drop inn a LS 1, 6 speed manual with a mini tubbed rear end.

Dude that looks great. Body looks to be in pretty good condition.

Yeah the bodies in awesome condition. They wanted $1200 but the timing gears went in the engine and they got quoted $600 by a mechanic to fix it. So we bought it for $600 but it's really only going to cost me bout $280-ish to fix :P

Please tell me you have matching rims like what's on the front of the car because those suit the car well. Reminds me of this beast www.youtube.com/...
