I did it a couple of years ago, was pretty much a 2WD track. May have changed since then?

it's not a long track , but normally only done in one direction .
best to talk to the kaitaia club guys , they will know the current status.

the track will go all the way threw if you ring the land owner of the pine forest which in recent years has been closed and was a no exit road you can get a key for the gate. i don't know the number to contact for the key though the kaitaia club will have all this info. the last time i went up there i had a standard samurai with simex tires and found a few places that were challenging. but think the best bet is to talk to the kaitaia club members as they know more about the tracks conditions.
