South Island of New Zealand so beautiful and spacious, so many shades of grey, green, black as in Trees & shadows passing through that over hanging foliage just amazing & gorgeous.
Nice intro but I would like 2 also add that there is also alot of 4wd clubs in nz and u cant go wrong trying 2 contact 1 of them and ask 4 info and most of the clubs will be more than accommodating if u wanted 2 tag along on a club run just get out ther be tidy and look after what we've got and have fun.
Thanks Rex, yes your right clubs are a great way to meet like minded people and explore our awesome country. Being a tidy kiwi is a must, anyone who thinks they can leave rubbish on the tracks should have their car taken away.
What a stunning country. I would love to be able to bring the 76 series across the ditch. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to hire. Do you have any links to 4wd hire companies? Thanks for sharing
Hey lads, pretty keen to try this track. I see you blasted through pretty easily on a basically stock Hilux. I'm running a stock 96 Surf - would it fair the same generally? I'd take some basic recovery gear but that track doesn't look all that serious.
Hey mate, its all an how you drive. For the most part tire pressure is the secret. If you haven't yet get yourself an air compressor. If your not sure walk it first.And go and enjoy
From what I've so far seen living in NZ for the past 3 years NZ is the most restrictive and boring 4x4 country I've ever been too out of 64 country's. Gravel roads arnt 4x4 tracks. I sold my Lux and bought a Forester which easily did the tracks in this video. Shame as I was expecting way more from such an amazing country.
Head up the Hopkins valley I think its called, some deep river crossings, up old man range is some good 4wding, lots of mud, can't go up in winter, simply too much snow.
Wills Overland Adventures great wee hut called red hut, apart from a few deep river crossing not much 4wding into it but great hunting if you get up in the hills. This is hopkins/Huxley can’t quite remember
agree .Sth island is boring for 4x4 ,but head up the North island and you will find your forester won't make it off the gravel LOL But buggar me dead mate you have done all your overlanding on a bloody bike FF's thats not 4 wheeling .

Great video cheers
My Grand Parents owned the Hotel you mentioned in Big River Grand Father worked in the mine
They would be great to talk to about the history of the place.
With free huts in the South Island, is it 1st come, 1st served or you can book them? Thx, enjoy your channel 😊
Is there a map of north island 4x4 tracks available
What a stunning country. I would love to be able to bring the 76 series across the ditch. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to hire.
Do you have any links to 4wd hire companies?
Thanks for sharing
There are a few that even have 4WD with RTT's and camp setups. just do it mate, you will love it
was looking at what first car I want to get (I'm 17) and it looks like I need to get a '98 prado now don't I because I can't miss out on this stuff
A Prado will get you to alot of amazing places. They are one of the more under rated 4WDs for sure
Awsome guys 🤟😎
