Yeah I'll keep you guys posted. I'm sure we'll need some more advice along the way. Yeah we plan to rent a SATphone. Theres plenty of us going so it should be cheap as chips. We'll look into getting a PLB too. Yeah we're all getting decent UHF radios. Is there a brand/model you would...

Hi Colly. We're sticking to the same route. And no haha not at all I appreciate your insight. I've seen what you've said about using the space in the 4x4 and I'm looking into getting a smaller toolbox which can slide under the bed I have in the back. Then I can put the lighter boxes (pots pans...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'll take another look at the route and see if there's something worth seeing. I was under the impression it was all farmland from my time there alittle over 18 months ago. And I'll second what everyone has said, the tablelands are beautiful. We've been...

Thanks for your replies everyone. What do you propose I do? I feel like I need the jerry cans, water cans, 2nd spare and tool box as we will be spending alot of time offroading. Where else could I store all this equipment if, like you say, the roof cant support all that weight? Is buying...

Hey guys and girls. Is there anything worth seeing from Cairns to Normanton on Route 1? I'm pretty sure there isn't - I've gone as far as Georgetown before and it was all just farm land but other people in the convoy who haven't done the route think maybe there is something... I'm just asking...

Sorry mate I didn't realise how vague I was being. We're going from Cairns across to Normanton. Then a few muddy offroad tracks (route 84 and 76 past Lawn Hill) which will likely be at the end of wet season so I expect mud. Then it's the easy life on route 66 to Tennants Creek. Then some time...

Hi guys I'm wondering if any of you know what fuel consumption you were getting while taking your 2001 Mitsubushi Challenger offroading? We're a convoy of 6/7 4x4's going from Cairns through the red centre, down to Adelaide and eventually to Perth. We'll mostly be hitting the offroad tracks on...

Hi, So I currently have a bed in the back but I want to convert it to a collapsible bed and re-install some rear seats. But I'm having problems finding info on how to actually install the seats. Could someone explain to me like I'm 5 on how to do it? I bought the car with a bed in the back...
