As the title says, I am a 4wd newbie from Wellington.
Done a small amount of offroad stuff during my uni years working for the regional council. All in the beast of a Diahatsu Feroza. Managed to get it into (and out of) some places that I never thought it would.
Recently purchased a 98 Rodeo as my daily driver. Has a ARB bullbar, 9500lb winch. Seems as though someone before me was keen on upping its potential.
Interesting in getting into this 4wd madness, all for a bit of fun. Took the Rodeo over red rocks on Saturday - had a blast as was happy with the way it all went.
Would be keen for a Experienced Wellington forum member to have a look over my ute and see what they think/ what needs to be done.

I had a look under the bar over the weekend, and it has a towq hook bolted to the bar on both sides. Didnt see is they were high tensile bolts or not.

Welcome to ore, there wont be a shortage of advise for you on this site.
Toyota Landcruiser FJ40, front and rear lockers, 35" simex.

Tires are like boobs, they always look big until you have played with them for a while, then you just want a bigger set.
