Have visited NZ in 1990 and loved it. Look forward to come back.

My car is quite an exotic one here in Europe and every now n then my googlin hits your pages.

o.k., here are some recent pics made 3 weeks ago at our 8days tour to Serbia and Macedonia. great offroading, fun camping and almost no problems, except for my radiator that leaked at the bottom hose connector. my friends driver seat broke in half, the back rest fell off when driving uphill, that was a LC HDJ80 :-)

basically very happy with the truck, but the engine really requires a lot of attention. was lucky to see the temp rising when radiator broke, what a disaster that could have been....

b t w, it has OME heavy spring coils and ironman dampers giving probably 2 inch lift, 33/10,5 BFGoodrich KM2, custom made bumpers back and front, winch, snorkel...and it is RHD in a LHD country ;-)
