Bushranger exhaust jack, an ARB tyre deflater and a drop down fridge slide, all from the show today.
I could have also helped myself to some more stuff from the countless 4wds in the car park with all their gear mounted on the spare wheels and roof racks. How stupid are some people really? No offense to anyone here that did this today at the show, but come on! I parked behind a Patrol with a spare wheel bag full of reco straps and what ever else was in it. His Hi-lift on the roof rack, not bolted down, a set of max trax and what it looked to be a custom made bbq from a cut in half beer keg. Just occy strapped! I saw many 4wds similar to this in the car park. Just asking for someone to steal their goodies.
What was funny though, was a kitted out Jimny in the car park, with rock sliders!!! Lol. It had fresh BFG MT's on it. They looked to be about 30inch in size too. So tiny. Good on the owner though, getting out there in what they have.
The one shop that I thought would have been there today but wasn't was Superior Engineering. Would have been good to window shop at their stall....

The fridge slide is getting sent to me.
I nearly bought a rear tube bar from Grunt 4x4. $1750 down to $1400 for the show. But they didnt have one there for me to look at, and they couldn't even show me a pic. Only the GQ bar they had on display. I wasn't convinced so I left that.
I spoke with the guys at Wholesale Auto's about their 5spd auto conversions. While the manual, the thought of an auto in my truck is getting more desirable. 20K for the conversion. Lol. Looks like I'll be sticking with the manual....
I dribbled and drooled over the T-Vans and Cub campers, and paid $11 for a tasteless Greek BBQ'd beef thingo'.

I truly though this was going to taste great though. As the smells of the meat cooking coming from the tent was awesome. Then my excitement was soon crushed when they handed it over to me, and there was a tiny bit of lettuce, iceberg too of all lettuces, one piece of tomato, 200 ton of red onion and bout 8 chunks of fatty beef, and a slight drizzle of garlic sauce. First bite I was gnawing on the meat for ever, most of it was thrown out. I was going to take it back but the line was 300 deep, I couldn't be arsed.
To make things worse as we left, we went around behind the food tents to the next pavilion, only to see a woodfire pizza van, sitting all on their lonesome. And I was hanging for a pizza too.

I went there with the intention of buying 2 things and left with 2 things only.
No point in window shopping for stuff I can't afford.
