Middy Life Crisis

Matts Middy Is Back On Track.

- Matt Raoudonikis

AFTER A month spent out at Terrain Tamer fixing all the oil leaks and replacing all the worn out parts, followed by a couple of trips to the mechanic before he’d give me the roadworthy certificate, my old mid wheel base Land Cruiser is back on the tracks. It had been sitting in the driveway for the best part of five years since moving to Melbourne, but the time had come to get it going again.

Allan Grey and the guys at Terrain Tamer did a heap of major work on it – replacing the rear brakes, the clutch, and various oil seals, rebuilding the steering box, the gearbox and the front hubs plus fitting a Harrop E-Locker in the rear diff. But it was all the little things they were able to replace from their extensive stock at the warehouse that made the big difference. New rubbers on the pedals, new tail-light lenses, new heater blower switch, washer fluid bottle, indicator stalk, new shocks and steering damper. All the details that make the 38-year-old bus better to drive.
