New To ORE

[Missinglink]

Gidday everyone new to ORE as of today so thought a do a little intro..
my names Nick I live, work and play in around Auckland and
have done a bit of 4WDing the past and loved it.
I want to get back into it this year but need some feedback/help on my 4WD before I get out in the mud.
I need to stick to a tight budget for now so need to discuss some pros and cons about trucks.
I have been through a few different trucks in my time from Pajeros to Cherokees, FJ40s to 80 Seriers. At the moment I have a spare old 2.4LTE Surf IFS on my lawn it goes well for a surf but want to know if it will have enough grunt to turn the 33s I have in my shed earmarked for it any advice would be great.
I will also need to join up with some people "Clubs" to get out and about so would be keen for help there to.
