4x4

[Dockstrada]

Just wondering if there are any other 4x4 enthusiasts on the board 

Have been planing to join a local club and do some trips with them like LAKE EYRE (2 week trip) or even a day trip like Stockton Beach 

[ducmeister]

I'm the current owner of a 2003 model Pathfinder which I'm very much enjoying.  We recently did an 11,000km trip through north Qld and back through Birdsville. 
We're not really weekend warrior types.  The vehicle is mostly used for longer trips to out of the way places.

Yeh been in the process of fitting out the F250 with 4X4 bling.You know 4x4's are another obsession I have 


Just fitted a 300ltr fuel tank

owned 4x4 all my driving life dont like the clubs tho they destroy too much and have made things hard for the serious people that like to get away on weekends i now a yamaha 660 grizzly it goes alot further than a 4x4 can go and doesnt leave a foot print or cut up the ground

I'm a 4x4 enthusiast Or maybe I'm obsessed, I'm not sure

I've got a Suzuki Sierra with big mud tyres, air lockers front and rear, reduction transfer gears and a winch.

A couple of weeks ago there was a 4x4 competition down here in Tassie. There was a time trial event in 2 stages, I came second
I literally had the smallest 4x4 there that day. The only truck to beat me, was a proper "competition spec" Patrol.

Here's my trophy

I'm looking at a club that bought the land the drive on,and also arrange trips to the outback that all I'm interested in .

Dock you may want to PM 'Rob S' too. I am sure there are groups for all the known and unknown fetishes ... you just need to find like minded deviates.

 have you been too the sand dunes here dave 

[MonsterDorf]

My young fella is big time into 4x4 and he's part of COR (Canberra Off Road) and he does a bunch of stuff between Sydney and Canberra. He's got a short wheel base Patrol with 6inch suspension lift, 2 inch body lift, lockers front and rear, 35 muddies and all the other geometry and suspension bits.

Their up and coming web site is: http://www.cor4x4.net/

But he recommends you try here: http://www.4wdnsw-act.asn.au/

to find some play mates.

Cheers,

Hey Dock Have been 4wd 30yrs have owned about 12,currently got a blinged up 80 series cruiser.
More a life style thing do a lot of hunting fishing and these days more out back touring time permitting. usually go to Fraser island once a year, done stockton many times and the Simpson desert.

not really into that rock crawling tuff truck deal but it looks good. you really need a weekend warrior truck for that.

I  have never been a member of any club.
But i am a member of a forum style club which has a heap of info http://www.exploroz.com/Default.aspx
Have a look at my profile there Rob s, NSW,
there's  pics of my rig and trips.

I like it it is just like the DMF forum a bit informal.
And they do organize outing etc just like DMF.
http://www.exploroz.com/Default.aspxis  is not vehicle specific.
And more suited for the older dudes.
But there are a lot more forums out there 4wd action and http://www.lcool.org/index.html.

Jules, I think you'll find it's an old hobby that predates the ducs, just reignited. You saw his truck at the bbq at your place - you know, the one that dwarfed the really cool fozzie XT in your driveway that day!

[mattyvas]

It's an A.D.D. or A.D.H.D thing.
You gotta have lots to do!

[Jukie]

yep i know, vince has both A.D.D and A.D.H.D he just has too much money so he has to spend it on all sorts of thing. Vince you are a strange guy, you just can't sit still
