Hi Peter,

Yep well aware of the donation box and always put our donation in.
Also do you know of any places of interest along the track. Have heard form some people about some relics and remains of some shanty.

Thanks
Darin

Hey Rohan, My parents live in Paeroa so accomadation all sorted. Are we still sorted for joining you on Saturday. Our plans are probably doing wires on Friday, joining your group on Saturday for Stadia, Nationals on Sunday and Thompsons on Monday. Trying to find someone who has been right thru ...

Sounds good. Will give you ring closer to the time them Rohan. Richard and I are ok...we kissed and made up now.

This will be my last input on this topic as it will be brought up at the commettee meeting. Kevin, Can you please explain why me going 4 wheel driving in the north island has to do with the club or commitee. Sorry guys of ORE but just trying to find out why OLDBLUE has an issue with my 4x4 ...

Not u to Richard, if you read club mag on page 16 you will find out about this trip.
This is not the place to discuss any club topics this is an offroad forum please keep it as that.

Hi There at present moment Saturday is pencilled down as the day to do it because on sunday we will be going back over the hill to watch the Thames National finals Hey Rohan, Saturday sounds fine. Dont know much about Stadia other than what we have read. You said going up to the tractor. Only thing ...

hi there im intending to be at the Stadia track over the Easter weekend and have access to a key. What day are you thinking of doing the Stadia?. Winches and good tyres are a must. if you have that then you would be most welcome to join Counties in going up to the tractor, will see what the weather ...

Maratoto should still be open at Easter but at some point this summer it will need some major earthworks done. The Loop gate no longer has a lock and we rely on users to pull it shut as a deterrent to ill equipped users. There is a $10 per vehicle donation requested. Stadia is locked off and a key ...

Hi Kevin,

Yes is a private trip.

Hey Guys, Heading up to waikato Easter2010. Been thru wires before but never done loop track as didnt have a suitable truck at time. Where abouts are these relics as would be keen to have a look. Been past gate entrance to loop track down to exit and then returned. Also heard about rements of old ...

Just read about a person killed in a 4wd accident on Thompsons Track in North Island. This is the sort of thing that can happen so quickly due to inexperience,not being prepared and travelling on tracks ALONE without any offroad driving knowledge. These sort of accidents should inforce the fact that ...

Hey Kevin, Thought only part of Sharlands needed a permit when you go left to get access into Hira. Was told when the gate is open and they are not logging it was free access to the right at the bottom. Motorcycles are in there all weekend and have been in there before with no problems. Hope im not ...

Hey Richard,
Was this one of the tracks you did when you went up there recently. Will have to get the dvd of him.

Looked at an old post of a track in this area. Can someone give me an update on this as about 9 of us from Nelson 4wd club are planning to come up for Easter 2010 and this track looked interesting. My truck is probably the baby of the group being a Cherokee with 4.5" lift,simex,warn winch,front ...

Hey Guys, From the Nelson 4WD club and about 9 of us are doing some tracks in Waikato in Easter 2010. Do you need to arrange access for this track and how do we get to it. Staying in Paeroa and looking at doing Maratoto,Stadia/Neavesville/Grapevine and Thompsons and then a nice trip over 42nd on our ...

Andrew, As bulletproof has mentioned you are better of joining the local club. Access is hard enough for us to get without tracks being used by people without access being granted by the respected landowners/leaseholders. We always welcome new members but please respect access to some tracks as it ...

Hi Peter,
A few of us from the Nelson 4wd club are planning a trip up north at Easter 2010. Looking at doing the Maratoto and Stadia. Is the combination for the lock on loop track still 5242.

There was a Black XJ running around for a little while. Guy who owned it was Brendon I think. Was not a club member and has since been sold.

Have a 94 XJ...4.5" Rubicon lift with Rancho's,JK disconnects, 32"Simex, ARB bar with Warn 8000, chromoly axles and tie rod and many other little xtras. Few of us in the Nelson 4x4 club with modified XJ's.

[ To me this is the whole issue, that is different clubs have different rules depending on SOMEONES OPINION , not facts... no one would have a problem conforming, to a certified ruling, one that has a engineers report to say wat is right or wrong, but for different clubs and areas to say this is our ...

I think some of us are getting a bit side tracked with this debate now. What Fred Flintstone needs to know that if he is considering joining a club that he will have to abide by thats clubs ruling on hooks and bolts etc. Yes there should be a standard introduced. Whether someone thinks one bolt/hook ...

Sorry Bulletproof but I am not Lyndsay, All clubs as you know (because you used to be a member of Nelson)have minimum requirements for hooks/bolts and other safety requirements. To advise a prospective member to fit a factory hook (because you believe some to be stronger) and expect this member to ...

Bit rough bringing the Nelson 4wd club into it Bulletproof. I was on the understanding that the Nelson club has not sold hooks for some time now...maybe the hook shown on the rear of your truck had passed it used by date...as you said in another thread...these hooks come under extreme pressure from ...

Have a Warn 8000 on my Jeep Cherokee. Works well but not the quickest winch though. Depends on what you want it for. Doesn't struggle too much with the weight of the Jeep .

All parts imported from US. Also another MOD was a mate of mine in Nelson installed a switch for the Auto so i can switch between 1st and second gear manually. And the quad bike lived.
