As above I've put my neck out and booked up again after a couple of people showed interest for this year again.
As per usual we have the use of the quarry and wooded section for driving around. This cost will be split between however many attend. Its usually a few quid each. Camping I believe...

Was what I thought was all my 24v manual really needed. Just popped in to see my mate jannis and the trucks on the ramp minus axle minus fuel tank and every component from the back of the gearbox too. Body jacked up about 10 inches and this is how the chassis is looking as he repairs the rust...
Going out on ely lanes sat morning making our way to thetford. Have a campsite with toilets and showers provisionally booked. Sunday run down to the coast on as much of peddars way as we can for fish and chips. Theres room for a couple more trucks if anyone wishes to join. Need to know asap to...
As above. A guy I go laning with regularly has a 4.5 petrol 80. Last time out he cooked it on the way home (stone through rad) It was too late when he noticed. We stripped it hoping for just a gasket but she's got more crack than a Harlem hooker. Anyone have a good head or engine if cheap...
As above I've booked the weekend again. Will have new toilets and shower block this year. Cost is £10 per unit per night for camping. The quarry hire is £200 for the day. This will be split equally between each unit. I can order a ton bag off wood again if required. This will also be split per...
As above tatty blue old 60 series 1984 vintage for sale on Facebook marketplace. Cant do links and wifes not here to help me either. Just typed in toyota landcruiser and its first one up for me anyway. £2500. May be a resto for someone brave.
My mate has acquired a 1hz powered 75 series pick up. Only problem is gearbox was missing. He has a 80 series manual bolted on to it but transfer box is all wrong. Would any other transfer box fit the 80 (early 93) manual box say possibly one from a 60. Levers are all over the cab floor and...
Last Saturday morning on the A17 at long sutton grey 80 series lifted. Looked a well loved truck. Was towing my caravan with my 80 and mel behind in her 100 towing my mates van as he didn't want to damage his newly aquired bmw x4 by towing with it. Yeah I know!!!! And today within a few hundred...
Just repeating as the original thread for this meet up has disappeared somehow. As per title camping is available from Friday 6th through to Sunday evening or possibly Monday morning if you so wish. Camping is £6 per night per truck.I've hired the off road site for Saturday and we're trying to...
Brought this one today. Don't know why really but I just like it. Needs a bit of love and the paint is shit. But its fairly solid its mot d till November. Got a shed load of parts to collect tomorrow also in the deal.
Manual 80 in gear and I asked Mel to move it. Need I say more!!! New bonnet and bumper corner required. Also pushed the wing in on the 100 series but thankfully that popped out zero damage. Oh and now I don't have a porch on the house anymore. More importantly nobody hurt. And I managed to...
Finally found a full set of my compomotive wheels. Got a set of as new BFG km3s mods too. Look cool same thinks. Only problem now she's gottago up. 2 inch should cut it I recon.
Happy Christmas to one and all. Let's hope next year improves somewhat. Keep safe and look forwards to getting back to normal as soon as we can. I'm off to make a start on my sloe gin. All the best from Gav Mel James Harriett and little Jack.
As above another 60 down in bodmin for sale. Roof and cills look a bit peachy!!! As usual can't do links but sure someone will help with that soon. On e bay now
Can't do links but fairly solid looking 60 for sale on face book market place in ottery st Mary Devon. £1200 might be of interest to someone. I already have my 60 project so be good too see it saved before the export man snaps it up.
Last night at 640pm my little boy Jack William made his entrance to the world. 8lb 10 and fighting fit. Mum's doing good and hope to be home later today. A new brother for James and Harriett.
Well!!! I just cant help myself. Always wanted one and a few weeks back I got one. Bizzare circumstances but that's a story for another day or round the camp fire. She's a 1990 manual diesel. Scabby on the wings and doors as always but solid everywhere it matters. She runs and drives but is...
Think it's a 73 soft top diesel. Can't do link I'm afraid. £995 seems like a steal to me. Needs collecting but no massive biggie with a decent recovery truck. Worth a look I'd say
Breaking an Isuzu 3.0 diesel trooper. Took off the intercooler Saturday to strip out injectors. It my babysitting day with Harriett today and looking out of the window staring at the scoop on the bonnet started wondering if it could be made to fit on top the old gold 80. Plumbing and bracketry...
Looking out of the window and I see 2 80 series 1 100 Amazon 1 hilux mk 4 3 diahatsu fourtraks 1 Isuzu trooper 1 transit van 1 transit tipper and the wife's Citroen...... I think I got car owner virus.....
Heading up to Huddersfield Friday spotted a white 80 series in a village called thurgoland. Stood on blocks but still had wheels and tyres on. Anybody on here or know of it ?
A mate has a collapsed driver seat in his (my old one) lwb 96 Colorado. It's black over silver with the stripe pattern in the cloth. Anyone have one or even a full set cloth or leather for sale. Cheers Gav
Not sure how to do links but good looking black 80 24v auto on sale for just shy of 7 grand. Worth a look for anyone in the market at the moment. Love my one. No lockers but centre lock and lsd in the rear.
Right then. Friday morning we will be heading across from the wild fens to meet up with Stu and the rest of the guys for a weekend laning in wales and probably dent the truck some more. Trevor has his drill which he desperately needs back. Maybe to replace the motor in the discovery or something...
Mates W plate Colorado Sat a month with dead batteries. Put 2 new ones on now the alarm keeps going off. Has the original (I believe) key with 2 buttons. Tried new battery in this but no response. Any ideas please.
Just wondering if anyone has cut out the 80 cills and replaced with box section. Mine are not rotten but beat up beyond repair. Giving the gold 80 a bit of love and tlc. Think Roger on here did it. Just wondering how hard a job it would be.
Just a few pics from today. James is getting quite artistic with the camera and enjoys taking pictures especially of the trucks. Wish the first one was taken before the calender submisions were due as I think it's a contender. We found some deep ruts. Not deep enough for Beethoven to break a...
Just brought this for weekends away and summer breaks for the family. Old 100 whips it along lovely. Almost forget it's there. Well chuffed with my new big rig.
Well I've only gone and swapped my grey 80 for a 100!!!!! But I have to say I love it. I still have 2 80s 24v auto and my gold off roader. Grey truck just wasn't getting used and had a list of jobs wanting doing. My 100 is gx with springs and cream leather and auto. It drives lovely and im...
I'm giving serious consideration to buying a 60. Got 3 80s and a nice mk4 hilux now it always had a soft spot for the 60. Not ready to buy just yet but just putting feelers out as to whats out there and how much. Ideally a rolling resto job not a basket case.
My daughter came into the world early hours of this morning 28th after a gruelling 30 hr labour for her amazing mum. Delivered by emergency c section , and after a short stint in intensive care shes doing great. Mum is fine too and Dad is knackered after 42hrs with no sleep. A welcome sister for...
