Any members off this forum you usually go wheeling with?
Nope - but I'm looking forward to having a meet-up sometime
Lockers, lift, rubber or barwork -- what's the first thing you should put on a stocker, and why?
Big rubber first, cos then it gives u an excuse to go and get a lift
Tell us about that first 'ooops' moment you had offroad:
hmmmmm......probly about 6 years ago when I had my first fourby (a Rocky) with new BFG muddies, I had a mate in the car who had never been fourbying. I saw a large boulder off to the side of the track and thought I'd scare him into thinking I could drive up it - I didn't think I could get up it so I just put from front tires on it and tried - nearly flipped it backwards and scared myself instead - all I could see was trees and sky so I backed off the throttle and stopped - not a good idea, to my amazement I would have made it to the top and now I'm sliding back down the boulder and falling sideways...luckily the left door and sill caught the boulder and stopped us from rolling and we crunched our way back to safety
What's next on the list for your truck?
The list for the Lux: LPG, turbo, snorkel, 2" suspension probly rancho and rockcrawler, LR tank, boost compensator, lightforce spotties, scrub bars and steps
The Terrano will stay as is
Any modifications you've made and since regretted, and why?
Nope
What's the best single piece of advice you could give anyone new to 4WDing reading this?
Make all your mistakes on a cheap vehicle first
Any other hobbies that your involved in? Music and sport, but mainly just 4WDING!!!
