Having checked out your review, I bought one of these 12v blankets. I took an old car battery that's just a little too weak to start a diesel in winter but still holds plenty of power. Of course, I had it on charge overnight prior to the trip. We turned it on low at about 3am when it got cold. We turned it off about 7am. Pretty sweet :)

The diesel is way better a lot more punching power and lower fuel costs

Cheers for the review

So the Delica passed the deep water part like the Nissan?

would have been nice to know power consumption.

Awesome video! Hope to do that late spring. What did you film this on. The picture quality is mint!

1UZ?

swag on stretcher all the way.......i find the RTT 2 b all hype.... i camp alot.........3min setup and your done

camped here 5 months ago, had a swag on a stretcher, bit rough the ground at this site for ground tents......great on a fine day with no wind. plenty of motorbikes turned up.

Hey. Where is that waterfall located?

hey bro what kind of diesel heater you got?

Just FYI, the land in-between the lighthouse and waituna stream belongs to Nagti Hinewaka. You drove over various 600 - 800 year old maori structures, build by the direct descendants of Kupe. Campinm is not permitted there. Only place where you can camp is north of the river. Good to see you didnt go onto the beach and wreck the dotterel nesting grounds / seal colonies. Please be very respectful when entering this whenua, the place is tapu to many. You are not of that tapu.

Where is this track?

Awesome! Anybody can link me to where I can find roof, racks, ladders, etc.

The 12 V warming blankets are not meant to be slept on. Is that how you use your electric blanket at home? Sleeping on top can ruin the heating coils. Next time, put it in your sleeping bag to warm it up and have it over you. If you put another quilt on top, it should retain the heat longer after you turn off the heat. I don't know why so many KZbinrs try to use these as mattress warmers. Jon in rural BC, Canada

Great stuff!. Well done.

more self contained and charges fast in about an hour !! a couple of batteries and your good for the night

of course they work but what I like better is an electric vest by Milwaukee tools

I’m 6’2”. Could I fit in one?

I've heard the 1uz/3uz is pretty much a bolt on into these things, that true?

Can i cook a turkey with it if i have patience?

I took a drive up the Makairo track from the west end and it has private property signs up Am I looking at the right spot?

Do you access the track from Makairo east road

Anyone using manual transmission?

Can't believe that van showed all the big 4x4s how its done! Very well made video btw. Felt like I was right there with ya's

Can you get through or is it an in and back out the same way?

Ha ha ha good stuff guys bugger I didn't go on that one

😊~🤙

Hi mate next time you come up to do the track let me know I would like to come along

My land rover defender has a more or less non existent heater. Took it up central plateau then other day so grabbed one of these from kmart and used it like a granny blanket over my legs. Was more than enough to keep me warm in freezing Temps in a drafty cab 😂

I use one in the Rooftop tent under the fitted sheet. Turn it on 1-2 hours before going to bed on low. Does help to warm up the Rooftop tent space/area quite well. Normally, gets turned off when I go to bed and then turned on somewhere during the night to warm things up again. I have had it on the whole night on one particularly cold night and it did do quite well. But found the cold penetrated the blankets from the top. In general I find you are colder in Rooftop tents, than in a swag for instance. Probably because of the air space is bigger and you are higher off the ground.

More information on the V8 Delica's, please. There is one here in Australia with a Lexus V8 and LS1. I think it is an LS1

Great session.

Part 2 to come? Or is that the end of the track?

need to sort my 80 series out and come out with you guys sometime #waigetstuck

Good stuff...is good to see different trucks and without all the whistles and bells having a crack...the bigger tyres make it harder for the average truck now...The R50 Terrano are pretty under rated as i have one with a 2 inch lift running muds and a tight LSD and with the width of them are pretty sturdy on sidelings...great vid

Could you put a 1UZ inside a 4th gen Pajero ?

Great video! Good to see the difference

Nice video. Like the comparison.Keep it up 😎

How far in did you go? The best bits are after the summit of the track down to the hut but your video stops 2/3 the way to the summit still well before the place where DOC tried to close the track with dynamite. It reopened 3 weeks later

Nice wee spot!

That looks a bit full on!

Nice video mate. Next time I'm up in Wellington, I am definitely checking out Cape Palliser.

Those windmills make your landscape look HORRIBLE. Sorry they were shoved down you throats.

Great trip

С4олько Делик!

That was a nasty wee downhill there bro anxiety 😂

Awesome vid mate we were camped opposite you was a good weekend until the southerly rolled in…love ya set up

What was packed in that chilli bin though?

Cool vid mate. Planning on heading down this weekend to do it. Is the way you went south to north or north to south?
