Howdy from a Yank down under.

Hi all,

Been lurking for a while. Good looking community you've got here. Below is my 88 4.2 diesel gq which has done around 480,000 + ks (odometer broke a few years go). She is a bit rough around the edges, but that means I dont worry about dents and scrapes. I work in IT and find working on the old girl a nice change of pace given I spend most of my time clicking buttons. I am currently in the middle of a front axle rebuild. I'll probably start posting up some questions as I go along.

I've got all the usual gear like most of you. My fav accessory yet has got to be the DTS turbo kit. Which is closely followed by the Millweld front bar and a Cheezy racing rear bar w/chop.

Have done a couple of mainland trips to the Simmo and Cape York with mates. I'm lucky enough to live in Tassie where I do most of my damage.

A bit of wild west coast here in Tas.

We tow a Tambo and I couldn't fault it. Its a pretty basic set-up so there isn't much to go wrong with it. I did take spare trailer bearings and ubolts just in case.

Hi and welcome to the forum from another Tasmanian

Hi and welcome. I did a tour of Tasmania a few years back Would have been good to have somelocal knowledge as we did not find much heavy 4 wheeling on our trip. Started on the East cost then down to the south then the west coast. Did the Balfour track.

Welcome aboard mate. Nice photos.
Look up the coal mine road or the cold stream track for some pretty heavy stuff in the north west of tas

Is that the infamous thousand dollar track? Done Sandy Cape, Balfour, Climies (before the dozing), Henty dunes & Montezuma. Don't get up that way to often, but would be keen on some other tracks in the area.

I've never driven the coalmine road, I've only taken a bike about halfway up it. Everyone I know that has done it has broken bits. It's not that long either.

A few mates have done the cold stream track too but not me :-(

Welcome mate, surely the best forum on the net.
If you need it, you can get it, if you want to know it, just ask it.
If you want to find it, go to the search bar for a universe of information.
Enjoy the sights and sounds of the greatest show on earth.

Welcome - really cool pics - like seeing these trucks getting used to real potential!

G'day to you and welcome aboard mate. Great photos too bud
