    We have a stock 2001 100 series LC on AT's with AHC - it was in immaculate condition when we brought it a few years back, but I have finally gotten past the 'first scratch' phase. It was so clean it was hard to use it for what it was designed for! Kind of defeated the purpose for a while... We drove this track alone in the same direction as you guys around a year ago - it really highlighted to me how awesome Toyota's traction control system is. The next time you guys are in the Nelson area drop me a note, I'd love to hook up and go for a drive. We have recovery points front and rear and a bag full of rated recovery gear - that is, to my shame - still shiny. Nice video - thank you! :)

    You can see mount egmont, down to the Lewis pass, over towards westport etc etc from up there on a clear day. I boiled the brakes on my honda CR250 going back down, 2/3 of the way down the pedal went dead. A guy with us in a SXS got back to the locked gate and his brakes were smoking like a coal train too. A great trip on a clear day.

Same trip we went up there loaded with kids on the tray of the old man's 4x4 hilux circa 1984, that was pretty new at the time too. Try doing that these days and you'd be hung out to dry by the authorities.

      Ground clearance was a little better in the Surf, there is some low hanging suspension swing arms on the Fortuner the Surf didn't have. That must make the on the road ride better. Cost of maintenance was getting up there on the Surf. The traction control is great, rear diff lock too. The cameras help both off road and car parks etc. Active cruise control and the extra safety features plus the automatic make the Fortuner a must for me with it being my daily driver. Sorted the front plastic with the bull bar as I wanted a winch. Don't know about the rear plastic yet, I have pop it out on one side 3 times now.

    What an awesome track!! That's somewhere I would take the wife to introduce her to 4WDing. There are a few challenging bits that gradually get harder-mostly just water and creek banks-but no MASSIVE boulders and "no edges" (she's not scared of heights - just edges), fairly flat track-yet still enough for her to appreciate the location and think her car would never get us there, perfect for her to the appreciate investment I/we have put into our truck. That's the perfect track to break the wife in! Awesome video - thank you!!

Next time I will see Robyn and Malcolm and get the map and explore the aera more and check out the tunnels you can walk in.
