Pushing the Suzuki to breaking point at the Methven Boulder Bash 2023

In this video I am out with the NZFWDA as part of the 2023 AGM.
We do some tough river work and visit some really cool locations, not without issues. I wasn't the only one to break things, but didn't get much on camera. So come along for the journey and check out how deep some of these river crossings are.

Awesome video Sam. Old Lockie saving the day again.

[@SwampChook]

He definitely is a legend!!

Awesome video I just started watching your videos last night. The enjoyment of driving a GV Vitara I’m driving one too. But at least you have the 40 mm lift and snorkel and Bull Bar I don’t have any of that at the moment. 😊

Amazing where the zooks can go aye what a awesome trip Sam! AC Fab in Christchurch do gearbox and belly bash plates for JT vitaras bro I'm getting a set for mine

[@SwampChook]

It's definitely impressive. I'll have to look into those bash guards, tho might just end up making something myself.

[@TikitourOverland]

@@SwampChook yeah 100% be way cheaper aye nice 😎

[@parriehunter_rc]

Awesome, it looked like you were floating in some of those. What PSI did you have your tyres at. Keen to hear what you do underneath.

[@SwampChook]

I'm sure I must have been floating, but it was still moving forward somehow. Going to have to protect the trans crossmember somehow.

[@SwampChook]

Was running around 20psi

"This is the Rakaia... I think." Please explain that confusion.

[@SwampChook]

I'm just following the group on this one, so didn't know where we were going beforehand.

The poor suk won't last long on tracks like that 😢

[@SwampChook]

No you're right there! I don't think I would take it places like that again. It's not really what I set it up for
