Offroad-Express

Hi all,
I am considering taking my standard 97 SWB Prado manual with MT's up the Te Aroha side of Thompsons Track this weekend for a look and was just wondering if anyone had been up there recently and give any advice on conditions. I have been told by a few guys at work the Te Aroha side is fairly tame and shouldn't be a problem, is this the case?
Any advice appreciated.

TAME

Umm....... let's see.........long weekend after rain.........should be a motorway up there


Just look out for the ones comin down

Have you done the track before?? Best to go with another truck if you havn't been before.
Its pretty straight forward but you might scrape a bit depending on tyre size.
Recent rain will make it a bit more fun i think.
What area are you in??

I would tag along with you any other weekend, but im doing a working bee this long weekend, PM me if you are keen next time

I have been up before on quads a couple years ago. I just have 31" MT's so not a lot of clearance. I realise it would be best with another truck but unfortunately don't know anyone else that would be interested and I figure there will be plenty of others around this long w/e. I'm in Tauranga.

Cheers
Brad
