hey guys im pretty new to this site have been registered for a while now but have posted little, Ive owned a few safaris but now have switched sides and drive a Prado, Anyway have just been down south four wheel driving for a week with my uncle (LWB Safari) hes in the nelson 4x4 club i think and f##k what a magic place down there i cant recall the names of the tracks we did but did a few around nelson lakes, lake daniels, refton the into the macauley hut(awesome hut) around Mt cook and checked out the lake up godley river etc etc.

And a quick report on the Prado its a 96 swb turbo diesel and at first i thought i had made a wrong decision coming from the tough as nissans but it was very capable and surprised me and the two twin diff locked trucks with the group, its only lifted a bit with wrangler 33,s at the mo.
