Of course, I'm more than happy to include you guys! The first day of the trip is tomorrow. We'll leave home, drive 15 minutes to the inter island ferry which takes three hours to cross Cook Strait, followed by a three hour drive to our first stay in a place called Kaiteriteri. I'll get some photos up tomorrow evening. Thanks, Vaughan |

Re: Show me your 67-72 4x4 Suburbans!
Hi Mr Toni.
If the vehicle is older than 20 years it can be kept left hand drive. It definitely is a process to get through though as the government are keen on making sure there aren't a bunch of left-hookers driving around. Before it can get on the road it has to go through a certification process where an engineer assesses against the NZ car standards of the year it was manufactured. That's not so much a hassle given things were a bit more relaxed then, but if there have been any modifications, e.g. my engine, transmission, rear axle, rear brakes etc., it's assessed against the current standards. I've heard of some horror stories where people have been left with a large bill to get a vehicle up to standard, and have heard of one case locally where a square body Suburban was failed and could never be driven - ouch. It is a PITA to go through, but in hindsight its a good thing knowing it's safe and certified, particularly when driving around with the family. |

Re: Show me your 67-72 4x4 Suburbans!
Nice! I love the hubcaps! I was raised in Sandpoint. I have no memories of Suburbans in North Idaho. Which is kind of odd as my dad owned a gypo logging company and everyone drove 4x4s.
Welcome Aboard and we would love to see more of your Burban.

Here is my current work in progress! Bought it to drive and enjoy, motor had other plans. Nothing a little money won't fix. New GM crate motor, TCI 700r4 and Offroad design NP205. Should be a fun daily and weekend offroader!

My ‘72. New to me but keep her local enough. Just took care of the T case leaks and she’s running strong.

He is! Real good dude. It was actually pretty cool buying it from my home town. Had my 3 kids plus two nephews for a cruise today.

Awesome! Is that factory springs? What size wheel and tire combo?
I also know this is dated a bit!
