I do not personally but there is a very good 4wd track near by and I have met quite a fw people (including my neighbour) with a passion for it. I know my neighbour does it because a banger of a 4wd turns up in the paddock and the welding gear appears

I can recommend this book by Ken Sibly:

If you are coming to the South Island then his books of South Island routes are supposed to be good too.

Re: Off roading
My OH off road races for a hobby. He built his Land Rover based race car in UK and we brought it here. He is currently class 8 Thunder Trucks South Island champion and the finals for the New Zealand champs title are this weekend in Christchurch
The events are not as frequent as in the UK and TBH not as well organized. Some quirky regs to!!! They dont generally like Land Rovers preferring the Jap stuff. But hey my hubbys Land Rover is doing pretty well!!
Here are some links
