Once we repair the damage from our last outing ,prob take a few weeks,how many of you guys would be interested in a run up here in Auck at the Extreme park ,Mudzilla and i know it quite well and could make anywhere from a grade 1-5 there is a charge to use the park $25 per day per truck and i could proberly arrange some camping if required .like i say it will be a few weeks away which will give you guys south of the Bombays time to get your passports and visa"s in order..
Right i have just about got my truck back to some sort of working condition,as i live onlt 25min away from the park im pretty flexable as to dates,If you can give me some dates when you guys are keen to do it and what sort of a run you want and well sort something out..Cheers..Steve
Saturdays or Sundays (prob prefer a Sunday but dont care too much). Prefer not last weekend of Jan (Auckland Annervesary on the Monday) or First week of Feb (Waitangi day on 2nd) will be trying to get away for those weekends.
Right, few more minor repairs to do to get ready.
I`d be keen for some shorter tricky but slow tracks - my cruisers not so good driving at over 40kms p/hr - but will fit in with whatever guys are keen for.

Yeah, I been there to watch the trials before. Dont have much choice with my drum brakes though cause once they are full of mud they suk
Trying to put some 60 series diffs with discs in but prob not ready before then

Really??, thats a hell of a price drop... If thats the case, Im there, with probaby about 4 zuks in tow...
and yeah, you dont want too go there without brakes. And anyone that goes there between now and april, please express interest to the owners about the Enduro. It wont happen unless there are entries. Was televised last year and will be again this year if it happens.
As the name suggests I drive a pajero (stop laughing!!!) its standard, only thing I have changed is a set of steel rims and mud tyres (31s, its hasnt been lifted)
Hi Northland Pajero,You will be most welcom,The park is set up to cater for all types of 4x4s,The only requirement is mud tyres,rated tow hooks,and the usual recovery gear,...Steve
I have just spoken to Russell who opperates the park ,the earlest date avail is the 18th Feb,so ive booked that date.Sorry its so far out but its out of my control...Steve
would we have time for a spot of 'training' for the less experienced peoples [like me ], like how to use a high lift jack, basic recovery skills and some basic off road driving skills???????????
I travelled the road less travelled now where the heck am I!!!
Since there seems to be a few people coming up from below the bombay's... wonder if we can get access to anywhere else like woodhill and make it a weekend event? maybe as a ORE Club trip for the saturday if someone knows how to get permits for clubs?
