ive been reading on this forum for a while and have only just got the projero.
first mod has been done, the new headunit is in .
on a more 4wd note i have a recovery point to be mounted and some flood lights gifted to my from dad

thanks for all help in advance.

welcome aboard.. Im sure some of the mitsi guys will point you in the right direction..

Welcome.

I assume you have found the Marlborough Club's website? And Facebook page?

As part of the joining process you have to attend a training day and then 3 trips. At the training day your truck will get checked for the minimum safety gear etc.

Wide range of members from hard core winch challenge guys to super shiny trucks..

Enjoy, look forward to seeing you out there.

Matt

i have been on the website and ive been talking to Alex and James from NMIT and will be trying to attend the next training day. speaking of safety equipment i will be mounting new recovery points so would like to know where to start with that or should i head over the the mitsi section and ask about that?

thanks Pico will remember that for the future.

go talk to the Malborough 4WD club mate a lot of clubs have their own specific requirements and rules about recovery points and how they are attached and secured might as well do it once and do it right if your going to join their club

Shoot out to Springcreek Engineering and have a chat to Pete, he's the man to talk to about hook mounting.

Yeah, Pete at Spring Creek Engineering is the Club safety officer, so it will be him who has sign off.

Another good contact is Craig at Craig's 4wd, he can help you out or mount them for you.

Craigs closed up matt

ok sweet well now i know where to look.

ive been looking for tracks around Blenheim and a friend recommended Mt Patriarch now as im not a local and am actually from Dunedin just up here for study i have no idea what kind of track that is so i am woundering if anyone here has ever been up there. just wanting a overnight spot to camp and enjoy the outdoors.

Mt Patriarch is a great drive tho there can be snow and ice up there this time of year so would recommend taking 2 vehicles once up the top you will get nice veiws down to Lake Challice which you can walk down to the hut. but its a good drive no huts to drive to though.

chears mate thats great news now i will just have to find some friends to go with me lol.

Some good options up the Branch or Leatham valleys too. Very good DOC huts and you can drive to the door... There's a club training day next Sunday (8 July) if you're free. PM me if interested...

I may be a bit "challenged" around dates - but at least my truck gets used!

Good point well made...

See you Sunday...

As much as I would actually love to go. The budget is tight atm and im still paying back my parents after the truck sprung a leek on queens birthday weekend. So I will have to try get to the next one. Hopefully with a bit of spare change too.
