I'm pretty sure there's a convoy from Qld going, so surf the forum and you'll find a thread on here somewhere.

Hope to be sending a convoy from WA, too. Looking forward to it.

Take care out there.

Been thinking about this after I was told off by Daz for saying I will not be coming and I need to have a long discussion with the one who should be obeyed?

One of my concerns which Daz says is not a problem is dual fuel.... the other is not so much the expense of the trip but the expense of preparation, trying to move house and of late am spending a bit on renovations plus what I had to spend after my stupid day in puddles.

I do wonder and was reading about people going in large groups and doubling up on tonnes of crap that was not needed... eg how many tools would you need to bring if everyone else was bringing tools?

I so want to do this trip , I do feel it is not everyday (for some of us) to get to the Simpson or other like destination?

I tried to flick through all the pages but kept getting distracted with talk of VB but will try and see if I can have a read through later...

Hey BA I have embedded that link on the first page top mate. Sorry for giving you a hard time mate but keen as buggery to have you and your family along on this one mate.

I think your fuel will be heaps mate.

As the time gets closer then we will start a section for this trip. All the meetup convoys can go there and a list of tools and parts will be started. I will have most things mate but a set of hoses and belts and a service before you go. Wear your BFGs and your in business mate

Yeah I'm hoping we can get some vbs flowing if I can sort through some slight issues lol like a vehicle sorted by then and go the mighty VB

Jonathan you need to be there simple as that. Going in such a huge crew is a once in a lifetime thing I reckon. Looking into a new turbo for myself then an intercooler and new HD radiator and I'm ready, the rest are creature comforts.

If you're happy and you know it tap a post!

For sure mate.. once closer I think we need to get serious with a good list of supplies and parts, and then split it over the group.
So you have a few spare 50mm shocks, they'll do as emergency for stock threw to 4" lift, but I'm doing radiator hoses and belts so, nothing wrong with them but just preventative maintenance so ill throw them in..

Nothing wrong with dual fuel.. my father inlaw has done the Simpson 4 times in his duel fuel 4.5ltr 80 series. He took 90 petrol and 70 gas, plus 2 jerry cans and never had an issue.. and only used one jerry can once as a precautionary..

So dont let that turn you off hay..

But yea, once closer we'll all sort it out.. still 13 months away..
Just make a realistic list of mods you want and aim for that. Anything extra is a bonus.. I'd love a 2nd tank setup, in reality ill probably just get my 140 main done and 2 jerry cans.
