Through this site you can buy Tuff Gear for your truck, you can view some photo's of our customers trucks and read some stories and reviews about other people experiences and fav NZ 4WD places.

Our love affair with this tried and tested gear began over 5 years ago when we needed to find a tough alternative for the standard suspension in our Land Cruiser work vehicles. After an extensive search we found that in our opinion,  Tough Dog made the best suspension components in the world.   Back then we bought our Tough Dog suspension gear from the then New Zealand distributor.  When the time came to upgrade the suspension in our new Utes, we were gutted to find the New Zealand distributor was no longer active, one thing lead to another and after several phone calls to Tough Dog Australia  we became the new New Zealand distributors.

Through our construction Company Industrial Site Services Co Ltd, we run various different 4x4 work utes from Toyota Land Cruisers and Hilux's to Nissan Navara's and Holden Rodeos, and the odd shinny Prado and Nissan STX. Most of it is Tough Dog equip.  Because we love this gear so much we needed to find some trucks that we could take out to "play" with.  After breaking several Hilux's we developed our passion for the unbreakable SWB Nissan Safari's.   While having so much fun out there doing what we love we decided to "form a group" and hence the birth of Messi 4x4 .

Within this site you will be able to view some photos and read some stories of our trips and other people's adventures, they have had out there in the field/mud doing what they love, you will also be able to view and buy 4X4 products both new and second hand.  You can also join our mailing list this way we'll be able to keep you up to date with new stock arrivals and updated products, reviews and road tests on different products.  Over time you'll be able to submit your feedback and stories which we hope to be able to post on the website as well, so others can read of your fun and experiences too.

Although the Tough Dog range is vast, initially we will only be holding stock for common New Zealand models.  However if its not in our stock we are happy to order in anything you require just flick us an email with your requirements to sales@gettuffgear.co.nz and we'll get you a free quote and estimated time of delivery.
