G'day
Im new to 4x4 and just got a standard '92 Bighorn 3 weeks ago. Having a lot of fun but lots to learn and I hope this might be the place. I am in Auckland and would like to know if there are any tracks around? The Jeep 4x4 park in woodhill opened to the public last Sat and a mate and I were the first public visitors to enter the park. Being new I cant comment as to how the advanced drivers will like it but as for me.....it was AWESOME!!

I hope these come out.............

Oops....stuck in the clay...I know I know I shouldn't be in the clay with road tires but what was I supposed to do, drive past, nah!

The pic doesn't show it but this was rather steep.

After leaving the park we went up to the dunes.

Jumped the truck a bit.

And.....stuck again........
Great day!!!!

Basics....only mods so far are a few dings and scratches and the wheel cover fell off....oh.....and I have put manual hubs on and heavier rear springs. Might look at tyres soon but these ones got me round the forrest and thru the clay (above pic the exception) so in no great hurry. I will put up more pics as they occur.
