hi nice to hear from you , welcome to the forum , what kind of driving do you want to do, soft to hard , hard to tufftruck stuff , auckland 4wd do the hard stuff, manakau do the soft to hard, you can join in and do some trips off the forum long as your truck has the right gear.

hi, cheers for that guys. yeah it is a daily driver and its pretty stock, its got 31 inch tyres but the tread doesnt look too hard out for mud although they are nearly new. the brand is 'nexen'.im not too sure honestly how hard i wanna go, i guess as hard as my truck will let me, but taking into consideration that i havent done any 4wding yet.

if you have not done any 4wd yet please take a 4wd training course they are listed in the 4wd mags, did one a great help in control conditions. where do you live in this great big smoke
