This is a statement from Bay of Plenty Four Wheel Drive Club following a special executive meeting held yesterday. 1. BOP4WD Club was not involved in the recovery. = they all got kicked outa the club yesterday 2. The use of the BOP4WD Club name was not authorized by the Club. =nothing to do with us ...

Update:


Got my LC70 back yesterday.


It needs some work on left front HUB or CV,ARB bullbar and rear diff lock,

Where I can get an external roll cage for it?




Prepare for the next trip on Thompsons

Will keep updating,don't be worried.

Appreciate for all the suggestions for all your time on this topic for all you guys here. We will keep wheeling with you guys! We will consider every suggestion and make a decision later. In my option: They did lots of effort for pulling out our trucks.We will pay the fair price for what they have ...

Yes that what it means exactly. Since the club president has stated that in his response. He is most defiantly committed this crime for which he should be charged. But I'm not sure who would have to lay the complaint, the person whom he used the form on, or the club who he stole the form from. Best ...

This is a statement from Bay of Plenty Four Wheel Drive Club following a special executive meeting held yesterday. 1. BOP4WD Club was not involved in the recovery. 2. The use of the BOP4WD Club name was not authorized by the Club. From my understood if point 1 and 2 works, Such a person is taken to ...

to go into there for a recovery and out again is a serious undertaking mate, not just a quick tow any more pictures ?? from the whole trip leading up to the "bomb site" where those pics are taken?? nice cruiser to by the way, looks like its well set up. Sorry,mate. We have wasted lots time at the ...

yea sorry mostly from me checking to see if theres any cool photos yet... Sorry,mate. The photos come a bit late, That's what we did on 6th Jan, The guys who did recovery for us had walked up to there on 6th and give us help, I'm still appriate for that! http://www.tmdfish.com/bbs/attachments ...

Hi everyone Thanks a lot for your guys’ help I am the driver of the prado which was stuck and then pulled out on 6th Jan. Despite the hijacking drama, I really appreciate the efforts from all the club members who helped on that day. However, I definitely feel being ripped off after a senior club l ...

fark off, the guys that did the recovery should be shaken, trying to charge what has been mentioned is extorsion and quite franky its embarrasing for the rest of us. charge for a recovery sure but be realistic about it!! whats undersood is some hillbillys trying to rip some dudes off who were out ...

This recovery was a private contract between two groups of people. There is a written agreement in place between those parties that was written before the recovery was undertaken. The recovery was not done by a NZ Four Wheel Drive Association club and no club is party to the contract in any way ...

:lol: Put it back where it was stuck. Imagine what that might cost given how much shit they broke. Ultimately I think you will be parting with cash BUT it should be the pre determined amount not the massive final price. If everything you say is correct: Tell em you will be notifying the cops ...

and now hes gone again after sitting on here for half an hour.. phark knows whats going on. suspicious a bit... yep what i cant understand is why has he come onto this forum only now to have a cry... if someone is holding ya vehicles to ransom do you jump on a forum and have a speal??? someones ...

Answer for the questions above, Yes,they still hold my truck. Update: I have received a call 9:22pm yesterday,someone told me if I don't apologize here,they will put my truck back to where I got stuck or I may never see my truck again. I would happy to pay the $$$ to who got my truck out unless you ...

Appreciate for all you guys reply,


My mate and I are applying for Auckland Four Wheel Drive Club now,I look forward to meeting you guys later.



Update: They have reduced recovery cost to $2750 each truck today.

Here is the email from the local 4x4 club leader: Hi James & Jay, Let's start with 7 guys @ say $50 per hour for 10 1/2 hours. Everyone who helped on the day, closed their business's for the day to do the recovery. We needed 4 trucks to pull your heavy vehicles all the way out to the end of the ...
