Thanks for the tip about searching the forum! I couldn’t work that out. I was sure it would have been discussed before :)

Also, how do you know if your local mechanic/4x4 workshop is good at installing diff lockers etc? On the early podcasts it’s suggested that most air diff locks only fail when they’re not installed properly. Should we be travelling to known, reputable workshops to have things installed?

Thanks! We’ll going to have a look at it this week.

Ok, thanks! We’ll go and look at it. We are known for spending too much money unnecessarily so I just want advice from pros

Thanks for the link! Perhaps combining a good pack with some soft shackles is the way to go???

Thank you!!! Definitely some things to consider there. Soft shackles - didn’t know about those. Thanks again

Our gear is all old and worn.... we haven’t been 4WDing for years, but planning a 4 month trip inc cape York & Gibb River Road. We’ll be doing quite a few practice trips with friends and family. Listening to podcasts now. We’d like some recommendations of good quality brands and things we...

I look forward to listening! Thanks

I was putting a space between 4x4 and earth. But I found it with 4x4earth

I’d like to listen to the podcasts. I looked on spotify. Couldn’t find??? Best link to podcast pls. Thanks!

I’m starting to think we could see Kakadu/Litchfield another time with a flight to Darwin and hire a car. By your advice, it deserves to be seen more thoroughly than a couple of nights stay. Kids might miss it on our trip, but they could do the same when they are older. It will give us an extra...

Thanks! This is excellent :)

If it turns out to be too much by the time we see the Kimberley, we’ll just turn back and cut down the middle towards Uluru, then home. And yes, SW West Oz another time. Your two trips sound great!!!

WA is so far from home! Just trying to fit as much in as we can and keep our jobs in the meantime. I’m not sure if I’d keep my job if I asked for 6 months off! it’s a rare position that might take years to come up again..... I’ll be using long service leave and annual leave to make up the four...

I originally allowed 8 nights on someone else’s recommendation. But it only takes two... are the surroundings nice? And campsites relaxing? Worth adding a couple of days to see the sights? If not, I’ll just allow 4-5 nights

So I’ve added more days to the Gibb/Kimberley region as well as the rest of West Oz, and taken some nights off in QLD and outback NSW. Good idea!

Our plan is longer drives in QLD, so def on par with what you’re saying. But I just want to make sure we don’t spend too much time in QLD and NT, and not have enough to explore WA properly. Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. We’ve taken it on board!

We’re on a tight trip of only four months.... we’d like to know how many nights at each spot to make the trip comfortable, but not more nights than needed.... How many nights to do the Gibb River Road? How many nights for the Cape? How many nights needed around Uluru? How many nights needed...

Thanks!
