@@forester_overland_nz last year I missed the good snow by two weeks !

@@lukepaul2882 it’s not easy is it I have just orders another 6 litres of “Salt Shift” for the chassis washer and also there underbody chassis blaster now You have to keep at it and touch up bits as you see the paint ware thin Truck is 3 years old now so by year 5 I might be getting chassis blasted and painted

@@shadowfax49 the guy who owned the Landcruser didn’t have a rear tow point fitted ! I did tell him it wasn’t a good idea to tow in reverse and said just pull back slowly and if it doesn’t move just stop

@@LosSquid yes do you know him ?

@@JL2OFFRD yea mete he use to ride with us on road bikes unfortunately he had a huge accident which I believe almost killed him! I have haven’t seen him in a couple of years now.

@@LosSquid oh so he’s taken to four wheels instead

@@JL2OFFRD hahah i think so! I’d love to bring my next gen ranger out sometime when I’m back from Aussie should have it set up decent by then for camping.

@@LosSquid that sounds good Keen to see what you do to it

I just ordered more on the weekend

Yes so did I many years ago

The owner just sat there and watched as his mates did all the work ! I think he was in shock !

Jump on Google and search the area you should find it

Join your local 4wd club

He had no tow points on the rear I told him to go real slow and if it didn’t move just stop , definitely not recommended The Nissan had no front tow points !!!

I was gonna say the same thing. Must like his current drive line

I got an 80 very hard to beat them as they were built to last unlike anything modern

@@danielhay184 not in reverse crown wheel likes to strip teeth under load

You did well Ethan I have replied to your message

What motors in your 80 bro. Tough as👌

@@bobbelford5040 it’s not my 80 mines the Blue Ranger He just flagged me down to help

I honestly didn’t think it would go so easy

Yes you need a permit but is free and can be done on line through Auckland Council website

He wasn’t really thinking !

More likely not expecting the hole. Ive done it myself. I didnt get caught though.

Thanks The front bar is MCC low loop winch bar and rear is a TJM The rear bar replaces the entire tow bar and number and gives you 50mm higher tow hitch I’d lover there front bar to but is approx $3500

No problem just park with the back against the wind if you think it’s going by to be windy

Usually between 18-22 psi on muriwai as when the tide is out it’s a pretty hard surface You can always stop and let more out along the way

No I wouldn’t if the tide is up a bit as it’s pretty soft sand On a very low tide maybe but I would see if others have driven down the beach first

@JL2OFFRD all good, thank you . Are the sand on Muriwai the same soft?And do I have better luck to drive there?

@kiwietsbehrens muriwai is much harder at a very low tide but getting on and off the beach is soft

@@JL2OFFRD Thanks for the advice

Great show from the guys on that trip

I do plan to do a run video on the truck and the trailer I’ve just been doing a few extra mods to the trailer this week including a two inch lift

I can’t post a pin on here sorry If you mean off Wilson’s road end drive just past Kereta lake and the entrance to the beach track is on the right You will see a sign for the Bombing Range at the entrance

@@JL2OFFRD Cheers thanks found it

Cheers for that Shame I didn’t see you at the time

Definitely worth a look

Yes and on the other side is the Port Waikato Sand dunes Another great place for a day trip

You are definitely not allowed to camp at Muriwai Beach but Kariotahi has always been a camping beach There are no signs saying you can’t camp there

It’s a wild coast line Cool place alright

@@JL2OFFRD I was with Ryan in the Triton

@@leafskating hey Levi , it was a good trip , hopefully see you on few more

@@JL2OFFRD hopefully Jules

It really is steeper than it looks on camera

Yes any car Can access the main dirt road The Kaimanawa wall is literally on the side of the road so easy to get to as are all the camp sites that are just located of the side of the road The quarry track is definitely 4wd only

Aww thankyou for your help also, from Taupo city is the kaimanawa far from their? I will have 3 children with me traveling and want to be Allgood going their. Want to get their before winter comes in

@@user-zb3wi9cm2s no not to far maybe 40 mins to the road itself

@JL2OFFRD thankyou so much for your info

No I haven’t but that’s not a bad idea As long as it’s not to runny as it would drip off the chassis

Is this stuff the same as salt away used for flushing outboards ect

@@lukepaul2882 Salt Shift do a marine version also I’ve been impressed with the way there product dissolves the salt and sand before washing away

The guys just jumped straight in Definitely deeper than they had thought

Speed is the key on any part of the beach Simply most people need to just slow down because yes the sand is unpredictable

They are actually amber the filter makes them red

She was a pleasure to be with I’d Do it all again

You would be amazed at how wide they get when they are down at 12-15 psi Ive had all different rim and tyre sizes over the years from 15” rims with 36” tyres to 17” with 33” tyres and the taller the profile the more sidewall flex you get sideways and the more unstable the vehicle becomes with low pressures We are finding these 295 33” with lower profile are working out well for both on and off-road and are certainly much wider when let down ,

What’s you rim size on the ranger? I’ve a disco in factory 19s with 255/65

@@gwilymrees8597 295/55/20 the sidewalls have some good flex when aired down

You can never capture just how steep things are on Video Good little side track though

Yes currently I was there at the beginning of the year So far we are managing to keep access as long as we behave in there

@@JL2OFFRD yea bro I take out rubbish when I've been only been there once just respect what we have
