makes ya wonder

Sorry truckster, guesss we were both trying to add this at same time. Didnt mean to step on your toes mate.

Gr8 effort , that !!!!

Now he's got scrubby-guts all fired-up AGAIN!!!!!!

WTF is going on? The last thing we need is the so-called respectiable dudes giving us a bad (worse) name!!!

At first I thought they must've been talking about that blue chit-box suzuki with the V6 dunny-door donk and 38" tyres etc.......well out of spec, but somehow has still managed to keep a (valid???) set of number plates.....

Pat runs a magazine that generates a revenue stream by pretending to be a useful read - a "reference manual" on the 4WD lifestyle, and, as such - has a responsibility to his readership. If they condone an illegal truck - and then run around in it - they are just plain naive to think that it won't get out.

Scruby will have an absolute FIELD DAY with this.

hahaha.. couldn't give a ratz.... you guys can talk about it while I head out and do the real work in da bush...hehaheha
Less taking more doing

This particular editor suffers from small hands and a large you know what.

Cheers

Truckster,

Just more of the typical crap from 4wd monthly.

Makes it tough for everyone else and while some people say we should ignore it, this typoe of stuff doesn't go away and in the end we will lose even more territory that we can go to. Scruby is probably barring up over this.

P?ss poor effort Pat.

If you have a look at carsales.com you will see it`s come up for sale all of a sudden?
Even comes with a road worth certifcate??

It's being heavily discussed on all the major 4WD forums in Oz. Not a great day Pat ... not a great day for any of us.

I was threatened with violence for mentioning this previously.

Has Scruby been putting on weight? Article says there is a growing lobby.

Or maybe he's bought some of those growth pills everyone keeps getting emailed about!!!

I have been saying it for a while now that particular mag is giving the 4wd community a bad name and every issue digs us deeper into the poo.

All the best
Eric
PS A very rare moment I agree with truckster.LOL

So he isnt allowed to have a ilegal truck but you are ???

some people gees

Give it a break you guys..if you don't like the mag then don't buy it....just stop trying to tell those of us who do that we are doing the wrong thing ( yes i know , i must be a dumb redneck )...and as for newspaper articles like this , flip the page and forget it....like brownie said , have a look at your own vechiles and see how legal they are.
Ol Scrubby must read these posts and think yes more recruits for my stupid cause,my winging is finally getting thru.
Next thing we know the dogooders on here will be telling all us dumb redneacks to join his cause.
If you drive a 4wd then you are the enemy of this man so stop trying to make friends the idiot.

Those illegal modifications provide profits to some aftermarket suppliers who advertise in the mag.

The guys who like those mods are probably young revheads - hence the way articles are written.

This is why there was the bragging in the mag about the illegal mods, however it backfired.

Now there will be ongoing scrutiny of the mag for more ammo to use against the 4X4 community.

Is Pat's other hack "Milo" legal?

Who cares...most of us run big tyres and suspension. We'd all be whingen' if he was driven a Holden Cruize or Vitara. Least he's a serious player. What size tyres you runnin trucky??? And what lift?

Quote: Well if you and I break the law and I'd say at least 50% of every other four wheel drives on the road with illegal lift and tyres, why can't he?

Thats the whole point ?

People are up in arms with new rego's coming into play in regards to mods. Why are these new mods coming in , because people dont abide by the OLD ones . . .

You look at ANY 4wd forum (and performance car for that matter) , and see the number of people running blatantly obvious illegal vehicles , and openly talk about it.

Mostly oversize tyres.

Yes , its silly , yes , its a PITA , but , its the LAW.

Both my 4wds are 100% legal , and I know a lot of people that pay LOTS of $$$ to have their 4wds legal. Its these people that are suffering from folks that cant be bothered.

If people bothered to get their vehicles legal in the first place ,this stuff wouldn't happen.

For those who think that vehicle mods aren't necessary obviously dont use their 4wd's properly. When you actually do get off the beaten track you quickly find that a near standard vehicle WILL let you down and you WILL be hoping that someone like Pat in their "illegal" monster is nearby to get you out.
