Thompson's Track The Movie

Hold on to your diff locks, folks – this ain't your nana's Sunday drive! In this video, we dive headfirst (sometimes literally) into Thompsons Track, one of the gnarliest, muddiest, and most legendary 4WD tracks the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand has to offer. Known for chewing up egos and spitting out busted CV joints, Thompsons Track cuts through the Kaimai Ranges, linking Te Aroha to Katikati. Sounds peaceful, right? WRONG. This beast is a mud-lovers paradise with ruts deeper than your last relationship, climbs that feel like Everest for your truck, and the kind of axle-twisting terrain that’ll make your suspension write a resignation letter. Whether you're a seasoned off-roader or just here for the carnage – you're in for a wild ride. Smash that like button, subscribe if you enjoy chaos, and drop a comment if you’ve survived Thompsons yourself (or know someone still stuck there). 📍 Located in the rugged Kaimai Ranges between Te Aroha and Katikati, Thompson’s Track is no walk in the park – it’s a mud-drenched obstacle course of doom that’s claimed more winches, egos, and wheel bearings than we can count. With brutal ruts, bog holes that could hide a Hilux, and hills that make your diff scream for mercy – this track separates the pros from the pretenders. But wait – this ain’t just about the vehicles. Our legendary crew brings the chaos with pranks, sketchy recovery attempts, and enough off-road banter to fill a tow rope. From near rollovers to full-send moments, this video has it all. 👉 Don’t forget to check the undercarriage – something might’ve stayed behind. ⚡ LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for more epic 4WD, off-road, and overlanding camping adventures in NZ! #4wd247 #ThompsonsTrack #offroadnz #4wd247rigs #4wdlife #4wd #offroad #offroadadventure
