First filming trip with the Fortuner - kinda' had to be Red Rocks, the place I learnt how to drive offroad and a spot I love heading out to time and time again.
Join me as I explore the sandy beaches, rocky outcrops and the infamous Devil's Gate in the search for some seals.

Mate! You do an amazing job with the cinematography and editing for a one man gang! Chur to you 👏

@OverlandNZTV 2 года назад

Haha - cheers man! It's a lot of work solo - but I love this stuff, so fully worth it!

@retepd1e 2 года назад

Finally a GREAT channel for Fortuner fans. Top job mate. What wheels are you running on your Tuna, they look awesome!

@OverlandNZTV 2 года назад

Cheers mate! Appreciate it! Running Sniper Ballistic matte black wheels - they’re not bad eh! Quite like them as they aren’t overly flash or anything, suit it well

@amorsolo8242 Год назад

@jimmybilly007 2 года назад

Great video mate. Looks like a good track. Some good obstacles but not too many and some excellent scenery. 👌

@OverlandNZTV 2 года назад

It's one of my favourite - not toooo tricky, but enough to keep it interesting - and yeah, some amazing views! The soft sand does catch a lot of people out there

@expattyNZ 2 года назад

It is a good track, really handy for an after work trip during the summer. Good to see some really considerate driving from @OverlandNZ too :-)

@frontline110 9 месяцев назад

Hey just wondering I recently purchased a 2019 fortuner because I've watched your videos and decided to get one lol but I have ATs tyres on mine at the moment would it make it over devils gate? I'm new to 4wd

@OverlandNZTV 9 месяцев назад

Heya - nice! Congrats on the purchase. Low tyre pressures, low speed and the right line make it easy. Went over today for the first time since I filmed this video - low 1st and rear diff lock on, was nice and easy. Always good to have a spotter the first time though

@majestic-lamp3657 10 месяцев назад

ya rekon a 4x4 petrol 2012 Rav4 would make it over the gate? if it had offroad wheels? i think it should, the main issue might be clearance...

@OverlandNZTV 10 месяцев назад

It’s been a while since I last saw it - but it was pretty rough then. Clearance and lack of wheel travel would possibly hold you back. Its really hard to capture the angles on camera

@faagailuapo7768 2 года назад

Thanks for the awesome vid. Do you know if you could stay overnight there?

@wyllim1 2 года назад

You can just don't stay Saturday nights, as they close the gates on Sunday

@OverlandNZTV 2 года назад

As Wyllim has said, should be all good. Probably just worth heading a reasonable way around and not camping near the carpark

@TaichiShimizu-q1m 7 месяцев назад

Awesome video, do u think awd get through devil gate with normal tyres? 😅

@OverlandNZTV 6 месяцев назад

Cheers! Ground clearance is what you need more than anything - it’s hard to capture how steep it is in a video

@jordanvaai1674 6 месяцев назад

Should I get Rear lockers or front lockers first?

@OverlandNZTV 6 месяцев назад

In all honestly, I've never had a locker till I got this 4WD. And even then, I hardly use it. From talking to people though, most seem to recommend a rear first - was my plan with my old Hilux before I decided to sell it

@mark9779 2 года назад

Do people live in those buildings on the beach?

@OverlandNZTV 9 месяцев назад

I'm not sure - most of them are empty most of the time, but some do appear fairly well lived in

@ArtWorld-hy4sd 2 года назад

Just a quick two questions, does the Fortuner have A sunroof? And does it have automatic windows? Because my dad is getting it in this June, so I just wanna know like extra stuff about it. Amazing vids though! Keep it up 👍

@OverlandNZTV 2 года назад

Hey mate - no sunroof on the Fortuner, at least in New Zealand. All four windows are automatic which is nice. That’s exciting though - not too long to go!

@conwaymildon4411 Год назад

Is this whole track public access?

@OverlandNZTV Год назад

Sure is. Closed on Sunday’s - but public all the way to Cable Bay

@alexbarquin9 2 года назад

Do you recon the factory bash plates are sufficient for these kind of four wheeling driving? I am hesitant to upgrade because i dont want to add more weight to the vehicle.

@OverlandNZTV 2 года назад

Depends how often you’re in situations like this - I smashed mine a bit, they’re still fine, though not as straight as they once were. I’ve got some new ones to go on - prefer to have the protector over saving the weight personally. I didn’t think I needed them - but added a heavy duty set to my old Hilux and was amazed how bashed up they got

@glenwinter7279 2 года назад

Awesome mate. Lived in wgtn all my life. Also learnt to 4wd here in a jimny. Never got bogged but always pulled other people out. Running the new hilux now. You might see me around white with silver canopy,afn front bar. Love your vids

@OverlandNZTV 2 года назад

It's an awesome place to learn eh - so many different terrains to drive on. It's amazing some of the people you see stuck out there eh, not sure how they manage it - sort of. Oh ncie! Will have to keep an eye out for you when I'm around there 👍

Cool vid and a place I want to head to. 2 1/2 hours from home so would be a big day.

@OverlandNZTV 2 года назад

Cheers! That’d be a long day eh - worth heading out there if you’re in the area though, it’s pretty amazing!

@JohnathanShaun 2 года назад

amazing video! always just drove to devils gate but never futher but want to do it now seeing how awesome it is. Would a suzuki grand vitara 2011 with AT/s make it over devils gate or would the clearance be an issue?

@OverlandNZTV 2 года назад

Cheers Shaun! It gets way better after the gate eh! Honestly not sure - the best way would be to get a spotter and go and give it a shot, taking it slowly. My mate had a stock 2001 Vitara that made it over no issues

Using public transportation

Uh good question - if you use the Metlink journey planner - www.metlink.org.nz/journey-options - and set your destination to 176 Owhiro Bay Parade, Ōwhiro Bay it'll hopefully give you some options
