Unexplored beaches, perfect for your overland trip! The Catlins 4WD tracks 

Glad you hung around after the recommendation haha yeah once you got 4wd and a sleeping bag, the opportunities are endless in the South Island

I never read books. This was probably the first book since high school and I absolutely bloody loved it!! Could not put It down and highly recommend it to anyone. Just a brilliant story that capture my imagination and backing up the story with real physical problem solving haha

Thanks you for the comment! Really appreciate motivations like this.

I too was wondering the same thing it looks like quite the handy wee bench\sink or would the normal table and large container to wash dishes in that I currently use be just as good?

Mean man!! I did love the TJ but the Surf is a sucha better vehicle for long trips and carrying gear. I custom made it myself. Its the original Pillar plastic with an Aliexpress universal 2 pod that I heat gun, molded and screwed to the original pillar plastic. A days worth of work but came out decent enough

Ahh tough luck mate. Unfortunately it's all part of the fun right haha

Wicked spot ain't it. She's a bit rough and rocky these days haha

Definitely take her there then, recommend maybe rewatching or finding the scene prior. I tried to hunt it down online but struggled. I never really read. So this was the first book in YEARS I attempted. Smashed it out in like a week or something because i just couldn't put it down. Absolutely loved it and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys problem solving, sci fi, physics and space travel haha just a seriously wicked and well written story

I seriously loved the dunes up north. Will be making the trip back in no time I'm sure. In the meantime though, catlins offers some great stuff to explore. Can't beat the sand dunes of northland though haha

Mines actually sagging a niticable amount when i look at it every day. At the moment it has a 2" iron man lift in the rear. Over the next few months i will swap them out for a set of OME 891/2 springs from Union Car Spares. They set to carry 300kg and will give the rear around a 3" lift ae. That with some 80s stock height shocks from what i hear work great.

I run 80 series springs in my kzn130 sits perfectly when fully loaded few years old and no sag at all. Not sure if a 3rd gen surf can run them but id look down that alley dylbags

It just makes them look big

During a trip up the Hopkins I knocked it on a rock step. Bent it upwards and it dinted the rear tailgate and blocked it from opening. Had to bash it back outta the way with a sledge. So removed to stop that from happening again with plans to put a rear bar and Tyre carrier on

Bit of knowledge used from 4x4explorer.co.nz and topomaps. Best just to grab the beach names I mentioned in the video and tie your own weekend/holiday together. Cheers!

Legend man! Cheers for the comment

Na, well aware that without a winch it's a gamble down there. Did the axle on the Deep creek climb. Videos on my isntagram @lostsheepadventures
