A ute may say 4wd, but they all get stuck pretty easy unless you have dedicated off road tires, a winch and half a clue how to drive it, and the roads ahead. A 4wd motorbike and you can be a complete muppet and you should be good apart from tipping it over.

I thought about that before, like to have a Honda 4x4 with independent suspensions. But, I dropped this idea for now for my reasons. If really, I can have a place in SI and get settled little bit, I will have a Jeep Wrangler Tj only for fishing & hunting purpose. Hope I can have this little dream come true next year.

I had a 5 door Wrangler 2.8 Diesel 6 speed manual, did 290 000 km on it before selling to upgrade. They are not bad wagons, built solid, I was doing the servicing on it as was pretty easy. The motor is a European that I think they use in London Black cabs I was told, so reliable. Some of the petrol ones aren't.

The problem with them though is if you do need a part for them you get ripped off by local dealership unless import from States or Aussie where they are like a Toyota, maybe not Aussie but better than here.

They are way overpriced though for what they are, have a bit of a cult following. I'd got a good deal on mine but people now pay crazy money, I'd look at something else to be honest unless you just always just wanted a Jeep go for it.

Moa is onto it with the electric bike or even one of the electric motor bikes coming out I've been thinking this would be a good idea, much quieter. Problem with quad bikes they are quite noisy and Deer tend to learn what the sound represents.

For Jeep, I think I will go for a petrol one. I like wrangler, and in NZ it is cheaper, for parts yes you right but if I could have enough knowledge for Jeep, then buying from states even second handed will be a choice. For e-bike, it is an idea, they are quiet but considering where we will be, it `s quiet enough.
