Good look at fitting a winch

Here's a helpful video from the 4WDTV guys about fitting a Chinese Tigerz11 12,000lb winch. It's well worth watching by anyone considering fitting any kind of winch, who isn't an expert on the subject ("hmm, so nobody'll be watching it, then"). Click on video twice to see it full-size. There's a New Zealand agent for the rather impressive Tigerz11 with a website here. The TGW12R shown in the video lists locally for $1195 including GST.

Discovering Ford's new Territory

Ford has released first photos of the new Territory, coming to New Zealand mid year. It's a good looker but, lacking low-range gearing, is not exactly 4wdNewz's cup of tea, so this is probably the last you'll see of it on this site!

Safaris to see

So you didn't get to the two big tag-along safaris of 2011? A couple of videos on our favourite moving pictures site, YouTube, capture some of the flavour of the events. The Kauri Coast Safari is here and the Motu Safari, here.
