A great set up for the Suzuki! Here is a link to a few of our South Island 4wd trips that will give you a taste for what NZ has to offer
. Might even spot a Suzuki or two!

Re: Hello from the USA
tycho thanks for the link to the great pictures. Makes me wish I could get my rig down to NZ. I spent a long time looking through the pictures. thanks again.
Re: Hello from the USA
You are welcome. I'm sure if ever you can get out here for a holiday there would be a seat or two available on a run 

Re: Hello from the USA
That would be awesome. I have a daughter working at the University of Queensland, Australia. She has been trying to get me over there for a visit. Offroading in New Zealand would be another good reason to make the trip.
Re: Hello from the USA
Hi skitime, welcome to ORE! I was the one who contacted you about your rear bar earlier in the year.
Re: Hello from the USA
Hi Skitime, welcome to ORE and happy New Year. I look forward to hearing about your exploits & travels.
Never regret anything you have done, only regret those things you have not done!
