Extending your reach... Scott, Great photo storry on how to extend your recover strap, but I have one problem. Abusing that Overland Journal, I'd much prefer keeping it for re-reading and using another 4WD magazine, no names...:sombrero:

Prepping the rig for our next trip. Well, after many long hours on a project that's been frustrating, tiring and challenging, I've got some time off coming up. This means we are due for another trip. This time, we are off to Lake Eyre South Australia. As with any trip, vehicle preparation is...

New goodies for our next trip. I've been working away from "home" for the last 18 weeks but finally got home for the weekend for a bit of R&R. We've decided to head inland and see some of Australia's Outback for our next trip. As a result we need a few additions to the rig for the long haul...

Easter Australia Eye Candy The latest picture of our 1997 1HZ 80 Series Cruiser. On a very nice beach called Teewah beach in Queensland Australia. It was a superb day, enjoy! :sombrero:

How about shipping it to Australia and I'll keep an eye on it for you untill you get here...:sombrero: Bump for a seriously well built Tacoma.:victory:

Hello Robert, Sounds like you had quite an adventure travelling around South America. It’s on my list of destinations at some point. As for the Tacoma, it was simply an amazing machine. I took that thing everywhere and it just kept ticking over. Every time I started it, it put a smile...

Go with Mr. Swagman Ben, I've been looking at quite a few Swags over the last months. I've got a bit of a facination with them becaue there's nothing that screams heading bush than a swag strapped to the roof or in the back of the ute. You see it quite often driving home after work on Friday...

The cruiser is back. KC, Great photos once again! Love the shot with all the green. Cheers mate!

Oh no, say it aint so. Simon, Good to hear from you. How's your Tacoma holding up? It's gettign crushed! :eek: I've kept in touch with the new owner but never heard that. Not sure what your buget is like, but you can't see the good bits so make sure to get them before it goes to Toyota for...

Sad to see an old friend go... Sold but no forgotten... It been 6 months since we sold the Tacoma and I still find myself thinking about it every now and then especially when I see a built up Hilux. What a fun truck it was. One of my "quirks" is to look up what's for sale back home on the...

Nice photos and funny stories. Had a quick glance at your report. Laughed at the travelling gnome, were they sponsored by Travelocity? I've got a funy gnome storry that involves the local bomb squad but it's camp fire material. I'd suggest you fly about 2000 Km North West, I happend to...

Thanks Al, I'll keep the floor mats in mind. On our last two trips (not posted) we have been better prepared with warm weather gear. Cheers, P

Stay warm. Glad I could share and sorry about your beanbags recover... Late posting due to lack of net access! Hypothermia on wedding day. Not good...

Discovering Duck Creek Road The Duck Creek Road was constructed and continues to be maintained by volunteers and donations via a "toll". It winds it's way down the back side of the mountain if you will and provides some spectacular views. I'm not having a good time, honest.... The...

Canadians should not get cold in Austrlia but... It's funny how quickly your body adapts. We have been in Australia for just over three months now. The average temperature is about 40 degrees C. higher than it would be back home but yet we got cold. It was so cold the first night that we did...

As promised... A well used set on the Hannibal Equipment vehicle. A much newer set on a very cool Toyota Hilux D4D (turbo diesel).

Great trip report and photos. :sombrero:

News regarding ******** Cepek FCII down under... Redline, I attended the Brisbane National 4x4 show this past weekend and had a great discussion with the Queensland Mickey Thompson tire rep concerning the MTZ and ******** Cepek FCII. He was very happy with the performance and results of the MTZ in the...

Lamington National Park continued... While sipping on our cup of tea, we enjoyed a bit of “bush TV”. Now get your mind out of the gutter, we simply sat and enjoyed our surroundings. We were also rewarded with more Wallabies... They were all around us... TEST: How many faced...

Lamington National Park continued... As with most of our trips so far, we saw lots of critters. We saw this guy getting a bit of sun. We saw another one of our blue “out of place” looking friends. Later on, we saw a relative of his in what I would feel is a normal place for one of these...
