You replied to my welcome post and I saw your location. I spent 6 weeks in New Zealand 15 years ago. The most beautiful place on earth!

Both business and holiday. I flew into Auckland, spent two days then flew to Nelson. Rented a camper van and drove the southern alps to Arthur's Pass, Christchurch, Queenstown, Milford Sound and back to Nelson area, ferry with van to Wellington, Rotorua, then north along the coast to the Bay of Islands then back to Auckland. Flew to Sydney for a business meeting then back to the USA. Best trip of my life.

Thanks man. I'm on the Shore. So not tooo far away.
Got the TJ in haste just days before Christmas. One shakedown trip to the beach later and we were packed to the roof for a new year trip round the Coromandel.

You manage to get out in the jeep much over summer?

I did the South Island when I was in my 20's my folks live in Shakey town (Chch) so always a great place to stay....:eek:
Lucky I have a factory soft top. but the bowless would be great especially with the changeable weather we have here....case in point today!! haha

No no, bought it locally. It was a new import from Japan. Decent condition had not been offloaded. That will change...
Cannot wait for the top to arrive!
