I would like to but also in the same boat no 4wd wheels at the mo unless their is some1 in front to constantly tow me lol. I think it might be more than the bfg's can handle. If it is on a sat i could prob duck up to hams on friday night if ya get stuck for a tow wopass. At least your trip their would be in style!!!! lol.

Hey Rangielux is this the sort of place like most forestry blocks in the country were you would be doing loops in and out of the bush onto gravel if so i would happy to be a spare shit wagon to help out im in a 109 landi with a wellside and since i dont have the rubber to do the bush :( could i be usefull as a transporter of stuff.

Plenty of loops and escape routes, never far away from a 2wd road, plenty of bits that you would get to have a play on with the landy. Takes a wee while to get there, but once there it's like a "duck" to water :)

How are you going for numbers RangieLux??

Could be a group of four of us heading down from Ham's, six if Madaz and Nath come.

That could lead to a pretty big group, is that gonna be ok??

It would be good if the guys from Hamilton could meet you at the start of Waitaramona road cause this shaves about 70km off the trip for us.

Are you sure it takes 70k off? Ham guys could turn off at Kihikihi then Rt. at Parawera :?: You still have to come down past Mangakino & back up SH 30 tho.

Where ever suits tho guys. The start of Waitaramona rd is off SH 30 opposite the Pureora forest headquarters (50mins when towing south of Te Kuiti). Unfortunitly access from the Ngaroma end is not possible.

Not too worried about numbers yet DB. Can do 6 in a group and maybe two groups me and the other tougher trucks in one, Wopass and the rest in an easier group :wink: :lol:

Yeah, we normally turn off at Kihikihi and come down past Mangakino.
On the trip that we were ment to come with you King country guys we ended up coming down via Ranginui Rd.When we couldnt find where you were we went back to Whakamaru for lpg and it was 90ks from there back to Hamilton.

ahh ok, so basikly we going to the forestry HQ ? if so i think i might go thru tokaroa/whakamaru/mangakino thru to HQ would be quicker i think for me and pete. got my drive shafts and gearbox mount done today so im getting pretty close to finishing the missile :D sounds like it would be a great day and a good place to do a shake down on the new mods.

Dunno yet, probally drive it down.
Im trying to sell it so I might have to be a bit more careful with it this time.
If you go down the way Rangielux and I are talking about it only takes about a hour as the Suzuki flies.
