New Zealand's Southern Alps are arguably the most spectacular mountain scenery in the world. In early August this year, I am departing on an 18 day solo ski, snowboard, photography & Southern Lights 4WD expedition. One of my primary goals is to ski a total of 9 days in Queenstown and Wanaka, but moreso to explore the less explored vast areas of snow-covered Milford Sound, Mt Cook National Park and the Lake Tekapo regions.
Later this week, I am getting a major overhaul (upgrade) on the rear diff (differential) for my 4WD systems. I am getting it upgraded from an open diff to a LSD (limited slip diff) which will greatly increase my already good traction on snow, rocky and slippery terrain. The 4WD experts doing this work suggest perhaps up to 50% increase in efficiency and traction especially when in running in 4WD low gear ratio mode.
With the very high ground clearance on my van added in with a LSD 4WD system, I am very excited to get on the snow and remote mountain roads. Life is good...follow me on this blog or my Twitter page:
