Man, I found your cjannel just today. And have seen like 7 videos! Good, normal 4WDs without crazy mods, beautiful scenery, cool Landrovers, no shouting, no product promotions....
Welcome aboard! 🙏🏽
My late father and I did this trip way back in the early/mid 1960's in my first Landrover, a Series 2 SWB. It was I that introduced the trip to the Canterbury Landrover Owners Club after that trip. My father had a very old map that clearly showed the Merrijigs hotel, (amongst other places long gone), and he though we could have lunch there.....when we got there, we could only laugh. We had bought food with us, We weren't THAT confident obviously. Looks a bit flasher than our first trip......lol
Give this video a watch ua-cam.com/video/XZG8nq6HoHs/v-deo.html
Nice to see you having fun after a long time in such a superb place. New Zealand is very beautiful.
Thanks Waqas 👍🏽 it's such a fun track
Great trip Hayden. I’m guessing the old boy loves to drive just as much as you, and he looks to steer it well. You’ve got some trick looking tracks in your neck of the woods.
Thanks. Yeah he still loves driving it !! Not bad for 70 yrs old !!
We are incredibly lucky to have all this at our back door step
The CDL is still on the Discovery 2 .. it just doesn't have the linkage to operate it fitted, however, there are kits to do just that.
It can even be operated by a spanner if need be.
So good, had to laugh at the black fence 😂
Awesome scenery, look forward to seeing day 2 of the trip
Definitely a good day mission if you're in Reefton!
Looked like a great trip! It's definitely on my list to visit there one day. Cheers!
You definitely should. The history there is amazing.
Our day 2 trip was pretty gnarly!! Keep an eye out for that video
I had a rear Britpart shock break in exactly the same way/place as Ben's @ 5:46 on the 1st time out using them. Load of rubbish (being polite 😄). Reading the comments re the Disco CDL, not all Discovery 2 had the difflock fitted without the linkage, early one's did, later one's didn't but was offered as an option. I'm more of a Defender guy so I'm not sure what year this took place, but I think it may have been around the time when they changed from the 10p to 15p version of the Td5 (2002).
Greetings Hayden, that wax a great trip througn so e great NZ countryside, many thanks for the ride along, keep safe and well, best rebards from a ex ChCh lad now living in Melbourne.
Thanks so much Les. 🙏🏽
What a great video and what a trip. Just awesome. Need to find some track in Australia like that.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Hi Hayden, very nice trip with a lot of fun👍.
Thanks Joan. 👍🏽
try and go bk up ther every year wen i go down home cool place up ther
We made it to big River in a 1999 toyota corolla
Nice. Toyota's will go anywhere 😁
This reminds of the CAMEL trophy adventure thing
I seem to remember reading somewhere that all the Disco 2s had the difflock fitted but if it wasn't optioned they left the button off the dash. If so it's a simple upgrade. Might be confused but worth a check maybe?
Yeah ok, I'll let him know. Thanks 👍🏽
Hope you enjoyed the video 👍🏼
Rad man such a fun track to drive aye
Very much so. We had a blast.
Watch out for the next video..... it got pretty gnarly 😬
Haha awesome man look forward to it as always! 😎
Be carefull with VTNZ.Here in Auckland they are toughing up on all 4x4 over landers.
Great video local track i take the defender on when its time to stretch the legs, hows the track up the machinery house? last time i was up there was a section at the start slipped away had big ruts off cambered into the river, they fixed that?
Thanks Andrew. Yeah they've fixed it, track was in pretty good condition considering all the rain.
Are you the Andrew that loaned Ben the shocks ?
@@hayden_jones ah wasn't me must be another Andrew, good to hear they repaired the track 👍
Gday Hayden ,nice video.I went in there years ago on a dirtbike.But I think we went in from the shingle pit near slab creek hut or something which I saw you go out on on another video,looked like an epic trip in a 4WD,do you reckon you'd get an adventure bike up that track as a fair bit heavier than a dirtbike (ie extra 90 kg).
Hey, yeah it should be pretty straight forward, nothing outrageous. The river at the end has a few big rocks in it, but pretty easy really. 👍🏼
Hayden, we got the same Landys- curious about your air snorkel, are you glad it's on there and do you think you need it for the level of thrashing about that you do? Thx✌️
In the past I've had the landy cross some pretty high rivers where the snorkel is definitely a must. It's one of those things you may only need once or twice a year, but you'd regret not having when it's needed.
