Hi all, I thought I would do the right thing and introduce myself.
I'm from Adelaide and have recently re-joined the 4wd fraternity by picking up a 2012 GU.
It came with all the usual gadgets (ARB bulbar, Warn winch, factory snorkel, diff locks, dual batteries) and I have since added a UHF radio, 2" Dobson lift, 32" tyres (only a little bigger I know), Compressor, Steel roof rack, awning and added a bucket load of extra 12V power outlets (Anderson and Cigarette sockets) to manage all of the mandatory accessories. I also set out the update / replace my dated 4wd / camping equipment ............. as you can imagine, none of this is cheap and I use the forum to see what everybody else is doing and benefit from the many many years of collective learning by forum members.
I have already done one quick trip (9 days) up to Farina and the Southern tip of Lake Eyre then across to the Gammon ranges and back down through the North and South Flinders Ranges just to see how prepared I really am for adventures. Now I'm gearing up for a 3 week adventure including a Simpson Desert crossing in the beginning of August.
Anyway I just dropped in to say 'Hi', I'm sure I will drop in on the odd discussion.
Cheers
