SHOW. SHINE. FLEX.

Crowd of people gathered outside at an event with off-road vehicles, some individuals wearing safety vests, and a large parking lot filled with vehicles in the background.

The Show. Shine. Flex Comps at the 2026 NZ Fishing Hunting & 4×4 expos are where some of the best 4x4 builds around come together to strut their stuff.

From clean, daily tourers to serious off-road machines, this is a chance for proud 4×4 owners to showcase the time, effort, and creativity that goes into building a great rig. Expo visitors will be able to check out a lineup of standout vehicles up close, chat with owners, and see what the 4x4 community has been working on.

A limited number of vehicles will also take on the Flex Ramp, giving spectators a closer look at suspension travel and articulation as rigs climb the ramp and show what they’re capable of.
