I shipped my WR250R from Australia over to London, then rode it around for about 3 months through a bunch of countries. England, Belgium, France, Spain, Andorra, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia and Croatia. I touched into a couple of other countries but those were the main ones. Its still living...

Heres my 2016 Amarok from Australia. On a beach in Northern Tasmania a few weeks ago. Custom canopy for camping. -Shaun

This is an awesome build and I look forward to seeing it completed. I can see you've put a LOT of thought into what you want in the vehicle. I'm sure there will be changes you make after your first trip, but with so many different components coming together perfection on the first try is...

Thanks guys. I've got plenty more pics too. I just haven't uploaded them yet. I agree it would be easy to spend more time down there. I did a fair bit of Tasmania in 2.5 weeks, but we don't usually spend more than one night in the same place. I had to skip the South west and all the four wheel...

Tassie 2015. From my recent trip to our Deep South (Tasmania). I just got back today, and haven't washed it yet. Apart from a few mechanical issues (I forgot to tighten up the bottom radiator hose before we left but noticed it leaking before loosing much coolant, cooked the brakes going down a...

Here are my two bikes. 29er hardtail Scott Scale 950 Giant Trance X 29er -Shaun

That looks like a bunch of fun! Ive never had the chance to ride a fatbike. There still pretty rare in Australia at the moment. I think Ive seen one on the streets. I'm very impressed with your bike mount though. I think I'll steal that idea for myself and modify it a little. Well done. Have...

I tick all those boxes. 1. 4x4 driver with sand experience. 2. I have July off work. 3. I live in Melbourne. Bad news: Unfortunately I'm flying out to the US July 1 for 5 weeks. If only I had of known about 8 months ago before it was all booked. Best of luck with finding someone. I hope you...

In Australia we just had a long weekend to honor our Queen. So we took a few cars and headed away into our Victorian High Country. Heres a few pics from the weekend. I have my website to host my photos www.shaunstephenson.net and there is more photos there.

I purchased MotionX for my Iphone 4s and its been good. I downloaded Bali and other areas and it was good... However I found a new option that Ive fallen in love with. MapsWithMe... I think it was a few bucks, and you download whole countries at a time. (US you can download state by state) Ive...

HZJ75 Troopcarrier Yesterday and today ( and a few part days too ): Welded up a frame to hold my 55L water tank, 3rd battery and water pump. Installed battery with DC-DC charger, fuse holder, wired up switch for the waterpump. Installed water tank, ran water lines for Drain, Fill and...

Latest pics from a few days away along the South Australian coast. My 75 series Troopy, a friends FJ cruiser, and a mates 4.8 Petrol Nissan Patrol.

I agree with you to a point. Without diff locks, it wouldnt be anywhere as capable. The leaf springs are hard, and dont flex well at all. Perhaps thats why its an option from toyota? Once i engage both F&R diff locks, it just walks up anything. Ive been through the victorian high country and it...
