Big thanks to the ARC guys free saussage and details on beach rules including map's.All the helpers around the park creating a friendly happy day out for all.The poor bugger on carpark duty who gets stick from everyone,Awesome job guys.Got some free stuff and We will be back to hit the hill climbs and mud runs again asap.

Sh*t yea, I had a blast, my Terrano (had it for a week) performed pretty good so I was happy! will post some pics and videos when i can.

Big ups to everyone that organised it and helped out!

Hi,
Son and I went "had a go" for a couple of hours. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. First time off road since buying our 1992 LWB Safari 4.2 petrol FI auto 6 weeks ago. The "hill" proved easy pickings in the morning in low ratio 2nd gear full tyre pressure but beat us twice in the afternoon. I'd be interested to know how others with A/T tyres in unmodified 4WD's went - what ratio and gear got you to the top?
Thanks to the volunteers and NZWD magazine and ARC for putting on a great day.

Cheers Herd

That hill in the free section? im a newbie so i floored it in 1st gear low ratio haha, 2nd go i floored it in 2nd gear and made it up no problems! Running Hankook A/T's, and truck is standard pretty much (think i got a video of me doing it actually, will try get a hold of it and upload it)

which hill is this? the S shaped sandy one that you cant get a run up on? gotta back back against the stump?

yup, it had a bit of an "s" shape. Cheers Herd.
