Hello all,

Just brought myself a little 92 Terrano to go and harrass some ducks in :).

Its very stock standard. I dont have any photos of it at the moment.

Im currently in Wellington and have just moved here from CHCH. Just wondering if you guys know of any places that are reasonably easy. Got a mate coming up from CHCH for the weekend who has a very hard out cruiser so want to show him what i can do with a truck worth 1/5 of the price :).

Welcome to "WellyWood"....theres some great places to go and have some fun around the area. If you want a nice drive, you can pop out to Red Rocks and have a blast through the sand. If you want to play in some mud, real descent mud with easy access and some easy tracks, you can come up north a little to Paraparaumu and have a play in the Mungatukutuku forest. There is an area that you are allowed to get dirty in and it's legal.

If you are interested in popping up to Pram, I'll come out with you in a heart beat and show you fun easy tracks :mrgreen:

A little Bit of Mud










I wanted to put them all in one video but windows media player doesn't support my HD video files.

Got some photos on my 4wd page.


Thanks Overkill for the great day, just got to find some mud tyres for the beast. and a replacement tow rope.

Looks like you had a ball! I've got a Terrano same as yours and also am surprised how well it goes with 31 inch AT tyres on!

If you guys ever head back to that play area I would be really keen to tag along!
