Well my suspension just came in. 882 coils, rear springs, firm shocks all corners, trim packer, greasable shackles, greasable main bolt, new u bolts (flip kit). I got it through my friend Mike Lokey at his 4X shop locally. He is going to put the front springs and shocks together for me (free)...

Scott I use these for mucking around the mud down here. They stay on well and have good solid sole not to agressive.

Although not submersion proof I have used a York box for awhile on my roof. It has excellent molded in handles all the way around so you can secure it with out interfering with the box lid. I have never had a problem with dust or rain getting into it and I have driven through some damn mosoons...

I got some while I was in Oz last august. They are super comfy because of the vibram sole. I'm really particular about footwear scott and those are great. They do not move at all when on your feet and with the bungie cord lacing you do not have to worry about laces failing. You might want to...

:camping: On a cot no doubt Thats hilarious Scott! I do not think I have slept on one since pre scouting days LOL! I use a 3" Paco Pad for sleeping on. I guess the cot is a plus to help the ground critters stay off you. Unfortunetly since I have a no boat, no trip rule. I can not run a roof...

next up was adding some wrap arounds to protect the body from all those rocks. We started by bending up some tube and test fitting and bending and testing. A long and tedious day making them all symetrical. then we added some vertical stiffiners to the arms to keep them together. Finally after...

Ok so I decided to go back and do some reports on some old mods. you will notice in some of the pics that the armour predates tires since it has 225/75 tires on it! First up was my custom rear bumper. When designing it at that time I had only seen the tube wrap around bumpers but did not like...

Ok i decided to order the OME set up and spend extra $ on other gear. Thanks for the feed back guys. I ordered 882 with firm shocks all the way around, greasable shackles and a trim packer for the drivers side. I'm getting a longer brake line and greasable main eye bolt as well. I will have to...

Looks good. My only suggestion would be to go to a mounting ubolt that is square bent not round. It will give you a stronger and more stable mount. Baskets have a tendency to wander a bit when clamped on. The added surface contact a square bent ubolt will give you on the thule bar will help be...

I have a recovery strap with the recovery attachments that a wrecker uses to hook into the frame of vehicles not equipped with tow hooks. This is a common problem on the trail with stock rigs now a days. I think Nathan has some that can hook to a clevis on his site. I forgot what the unit is called.

sorry line item 11

How about a ground anchor like pull pal.

awesome vid. I first saw it about a year ago and it never gets old.

good idea but why not just leave the clevis out when not in use. It is a common theft item around here so we all just leave them off untill needed. no rattles or damage to powdercoat/paint.

how about a pic of your trailer!

Ok so why is it with as much value that we all put on the products coming from australia and south africa, that the OME tacoma suspension is not viewed as a great choice. Granted I have not driven a taco with an OME suspension, but given the perameters OME uses to design there suspensions I...

Well down here the brush is thick. I have used the trditional style machetes for awhile but sinse I got that codl steel unit I do not even carry a regular machete now. Don't get me wrong a regular machete is a versatile tool for general use, but the Kukri units will hack through most stuff with...

Add a lighter and sharpie to the list. Some racheting straps, rope , and tarp are good. Map of area leaving behind a travel plan with a friend not on the trip. sunscreen/aloe foul weather clothes related to season of travel. Toiletries and any meds you need for time going out plus a...

Oh yea gas was expensive when we were there last august. I think it worked out to be about $4.40 a gallon. so what direction are you heading first? Are your journeys going to take you to Adelaide? if so how can I con you into swinging by our favorite vinyard that only sells on site and ship us...

Well I have a fiberglass handle shovel from home depo. It was full size but I took off the rubber grip and cut it down. I think it was 12 dollars. For an ax I carry an eastwing on the truck, however the best axes are the gransfors units. I have a small wildlife hatchet that I use on camping...
