This week we introduce you to 'Twisty' from the 4WD Action forum, he has a couple of tough trucks that he is not afraid to get dirty.

TALKIN' DIRTY WITH…TWISTY

Name: Dave Krenske

Location (town and state): Gods Country, Sunshine Coast, QLD

What do you do for a crust? Civil Designer. Design Roads, Subdivisions, Stormwater Drainage, Sewer Lines, Water Lines, etc...

When did you join the A4WDM forums and why? Joined Aug 2003, almost when it first started. Not sure exactly why, wasn't a member of any other forums then, I think it was to try and find out more info on how to turbo the V6 in my 4runner.

What do you drive and how long have you owned it: Got a 94 Model RV6 4Runner....bought it almost 5 years ago. Also recently bought a 78 FJ40 Cruiser to use mainly offroad so the 4runner can stay bling and shiny!

What modifications have you done to it in that time:
Heaps!!!
4Runner-
4.0l Lexus Quad Cam Alloy V8 Swap
4" Susp Lift (BJ Spacers and adjusted torsion bars front/std. height 80 series cruiser coils in rear)
Rancho 9000X shocks
2" Bodylift
Recaro seats with full re-trimmed custom interior
17x9 Brute B201's Alloys with 315/70/R17 (35x12.5) MTZ's
Custom 4x4 Fabrications Sliders and Rear Bar with Tyre Carrier
Customised TJM Bullbar
TJM Delux Flares
Airtec Snorkel
4.8 diff ratios
Rear Airlocker
IPF Spotlights
Patrol Bonnet Scoop
Dual AGM batteries
Sony Stereo with amp and 12" sub
probably other bits and pieces.

FJ40 has only just begun, with heaps more mods planned. Current mods are -
4" Dobinson Springs
Skyjacker Shocks
35x12.5 Super Swamper TrXus MT's
on 15x10 Mickey Thomson Classic II's with imitation beadlocks.
Late model 60 series 3F Conversion
Custom twin 3" tube alloy bar

Where do you like going bush: Glasshouse Mountains, Landcruiser Park, Fraser Island & Double Island.

Any members off this forum you usually go wheeling with? Yep, Bundymonkey, Boof, Brooksy, A1 Mech, Cracka, DeeV8, Gidget, and a phew others.

Who is your dream navvy and why?

Will suck up to the missus and say my wife Loz since she's a classic to go 4x4ing with. Next in line would be Ryano from Fourbys cause of the sexy shorts he wears when navvin (share the love!)

Beer, bourbon, wine, whisky or soft-drink, what's your poison (type and brand)?Beer.....Most of the time XXXX, but favourite is Hahn Premium!

Who'd win in a boxing match between Harold from Neighbours and Alf from Home and Away, and why: Struth....would have to be Alf....the guy is a flamin champ!

If your 4WD had a personality, what would it be? Jeez, dunno.....I guess the 4runner would be a sexy model struttin her stuff, and the FJ would be a cute receptionist not afraid to get here hands dirty......hehehe

If you could say one thing to our nation's politicians, what would it be? Hmmm....Got a spare seat int he truck this weekend, going wheeling out Glasshouse, jump in and come see what your missing out on!

What's your most memorable moment you've spent with your 4WD? Probably rolling my first 4runner out at LCMP. Was an experience I hope not to ever go through again.

Who would you like to see join the forums and become a regular poster? The guy who invented beer....
