I'd be checking how long you can get a visa for as well; that may shape how long you are doing your trip for and if it's worth bringing the car over. Tourist visas over 3 months are possible, but are more bureaucratic to get hold of for Australia; check this website for more details. Here's the...

Salomon Tech Amphibs were my go to shoes for 6 or 7 years as a canoe guide, eventually got a white water kayak that they fitted in as well

Shippshape from Australia - no idea if they do export sales though... have some great ideas with the way the cover works as a side panel or awning.

You should just need an Aussie market sub tank, filler neck and switch to convert it. The UZJ100 and 200 are the same as a Lexus LX470 IIRC, and I'm pretty sure there's some long range tank solutions that'll bring you up to the 145+ litre mark

Capsize is the first stage... roll or recovery is the next. I can roll my kayak, and I can paddle my canoe swamped to safety where I can empty it. I can nearly get under it and flip/throw it the right way up... but if you look closely you'll see the yellow bags in my 1st canoe picture - about...

Tandem canoes/kayaks have a nickname of divorce boats... Personally I paddle both an open canoe and a whitewater kayak (and have paddled sea/touring kayaks as well) If I only had to have one boat (knowing at times there would be 2 people in it) I'd have a 16' ish open canoe - currently I have...

After loitering on here for about the last month, I've decided it's a good idea to put a thread up about my trailer... everytime I come on here I get sidetracked by other awesome vehicles... this going to be a bit of an intro thread as well, as I didn't do one of those... Intro to me I've been...

My projects: 1992 Toyots VZN130 (3.slo V6 manual - just about poverty pack) 1996 Kanga Camping Trailer - 400kg tare weight, Land Cruiser 60 series shocks on independent suspension, 6 stud Japanese pattern hubs, 750kg ATM... but because the Toyota is a Toyota, I need to fit brakes to it as the...

Check some of the Volvo forums for the D24T and -TIC instructions; Volvo used the 2.4 VW 6 in the 200, 700 and 900s, so the knowledge is there. Hope that helps, Ed

Importable from Europe, ex German Fire brigade Ford Transit County (I think - not sure if the Germans got the full County treatment): Ford Transit Allrad €8,900 First Registration: 05/1986 Mileage: 25,000 km Power: 57 kW (77 PS) Colour: Red Manual, diff locks (F,R and C by the looks of...

-Hydrostatic head - a 3/4 season tent tends to be 5000mm -Fibreglass poles (or no poles at all in the case of the air tube) rather than alu -Materials used for the groundsheets -Tent frame layout - a geodesic (either full or semi) or a well designed tunnel tent is a lot stiffer (with the...

As bl00 says, it's in the UK, not the USA. The other campers in the background are European Fiats/Peugeots with UK plates... be prepared to lose money on it if you buy it... like all of your money...

I read the post yesterday, but couldn't structure an answer in my mind. I am a daft Pom based in Australia, so know the ranges quite well. Depending on model, I'd say that most Outwells are really Spring, Summer and early Autumn (Fall) rather than a full 3 season. I'd not truly trust the...

Not intending to be a smart ********, but IFS stands for Independent Front Suspension, IRS is for Independent Rear Suspension.... if you're asking for IFS that might explain why they aren't replying. The challenges of asking for things in a different version of English - it would be like me asking...

Another round of Australian Military disposal auctions with some 4x4 and 6x6 Land Rovers in it, some of which are 25yo+ NSW WA NT Not sure how easy it would be to export them... but some of the other Aussies might be interested in them.

But they can only use Red diesel in vehicles registered (and used) for agricultural purposes; VOSA (or whatever they are called this week) will join forces HMRC and dip tanks looking for red diesel and will impound vehicles that are illegally using red diesel on the road. If registered as ag...

The blue 88" with the 3/4 Canvas tilt isn't a Defender, it's a Series 3. The "built" 110's Defenders are just Defenders 110's with the van spec rear; basically a double cab van.

One of the lads on LandCruiserClub.net had a similar problem with his Metalian trailer - he used 4 scissor jacks to raise the tent up and down.

+1 to the Trangia bottle; they also benefit from as soon as you let go of the spring loaded button the fuel supply shuts off. I use Shellite as an easy available alternative to Coleman fuel here in Aus; even Coleman Australia brand the Coleman Fuel as Shellite...

Have a search on UK Rivers Guidebook - one of the best conversions was on an ex-private ambulance (undertakers collection van) about 7 years ago. Otherwise, when I converted my backpacker van in Aus I based it around a queensize mattress, and set the base height so it cleared the wheel...
