So boltcutters for Waihopi, sweet :lol:

That's a pity, has anyone got onto Access NZ, FMC or (can of worms) Minister for the Environment????? Looks like cool tramping country up there.

I know a few people, who know a few people in Blenheim who might be able to raggle access. Hhhhhmmmmmnnnnn.....

You can't travel past the third hut up the Leatham valley now. It has been blocked off just past the hut


Would that be Lower Gordon Hut???
Would I need a snorkel for a standard 4x4 in respect to the fords??? Don't have one anyway, that list of shit I want is just getting bigger and bigger.... :D

No offence, but how far did you guys get to???
Did you drive up from the bottom of the Kowhai???
The pic's on this thread seem to be before the foothills and way before the first gorge, I've seen tyre tracks above the first gorge and I think past the second, well done to whom ever laid those down!!

I've got a Terrano 96' R3m, I understand there's SFA made for them. ARB has a most products, I can get a 2" lift kit from aussie for about $1800. I'm a complete muppet when it comes to auto mechanics, so I can't install it. What would you charge and what would you supply or would there be part I ...

OK, these guys are still testing, but I think I'll wait to get a body lift from them as no-one else is producing a 4" body lift for a R50.

I think I'll actually pass on the offset rims, as I'll be using this vehicle as a day to day, don't really have the time to change things around for a WOF and secondly, I really don't really get offroad too much to justify wheel changes!!! Quite keen on the torsion/suspension lift though!!!! As long ...

I live in Kaikoura, not much in the way of deals or expertise in reference to tyre or rims here . Sort them out in Chch. How much $ would a whitespoke with 95mm offset be, or would that be a bit much. Not much in the way of mods for R50 onwards from what I understand, so yeah, 31s are big without ...

Yup, the whitesoke rims, exactly. I've brought some 31x10.5 Hankook RT03's which look like they'll be sitting very close to the bottom of the suspension, I'm sure whitespokes would at least help if there where any problems arising from this. But, yes it might rub on the outer guard, could I not just ...

Offsets used with normal rims??????????????????????

Yeah, so I want to get some offsets (any advice for offset retailers would be appreciated, 15x8JJ, as well!!!!!!!!!!), but I'd like to know if I can use them together and so I can have a sixth spare with normal rim?? In case I get two flat tyres again. I have a Terrano R3M 96' for reference sake.
