Well there is always Thompson's track :lol: :lol: :lol:
Serously though ... the Te Aroha side to the top is a great trip but make sure you take another 4x4 to pull each other out.

Do NOT attempt the Katikati side with out a well setup truck. ( search this forum and you will see why :shock: :shock: )
There is no mechanical problem so difficult that it cannot be solved by brute strength and ignorance.

I had 30x9.5 hankook rt01's on my 413 and they rubbed a little but were great (nice soft sidewalls so worked well for the light truck - need a little work to get them in there (bash a couple of seams flat and cut off the ends of the bumper support up front)). Get some tow hooks fitted get a snatch strap a fire extinguisher and first aid kit and join a club. Later on invest in a lift kit but go and drive the hell out of it and watch for the envious stares from the whales that also drive the tracks.
