are hiluxes good for 4wd??

[garynz345]

@samartz hey mate, yeah hiluxs are very good machines, they tend to hold their value as well, for the basic 4wd drive outings make sure you have decent mud terrain tires and a securely mounted front and rear recovery hook or pintol or similar. dont use the factory tow hooks on vehicles as these are generally made for road towing and wont handle the stress of a snatch recovery. make sure you also have a rated snatch strap for the recoveries. try to avoid 4x4ing by yourself, maybe join a club.

Great Vid.I have just bought a 92 safari. Where abouts in NZ are you? Are you members of a club?

[garynz345]

yeah not too bad aye, am a member of the east coast 4x4 club in gisborne. easy to mod these trucks and they are as tough as you can get really. i will be uploading some footage i got last weekend in the next day or 2 and that has some tough safaris on it so keep an eye out.
