GWM Cannon - Finding Waipakihi road gate, and up Tukino skifiled

I heard that Waipakihi road has been closed of.
So I head down (over two days) to the central plateau in my GWM Cannon ute / P-series / Poer / Pao.
Did a mean fun jump on my first day out. 👍
On the second day out discovered that yep, there is a gate at Waipakihi road, and at Rangipo intake road. 😢😢
Bummer. 😭
Went for a blat up Tukino Ski field. ❄️

Hey mate I have cannon x and when i go downhill and press the break to control speed rpm goes really high. Say im in D6 on 60 then i put breaks on as im going downhill it will drop gears too quick and will still be on 40 or something in D3. Do u think there is bit of issue or it’s normal in this or every ute? Thanks mate

If Chinese cars can withstand such driving, the current price will be very cost-effective! !🙂
