newbie

Hey Guys, I am in Perth and looking for my first 4wd experience. I've recently got a 120 prado(no lift :( ), I'm building a setup inside to camp. I've got the UHF radio, recovery trax, compressor, and the good old recovery kit (snatch etc). I am down for a day trip either on the beach or forest...

Hi Everyone, I am a new member of the forum and I want to buy a 4x4. I have a budget of $17K and want to use it to take my partner and my dog Camping. I want to put a pop up tent at the top. This car will be my daily drive. It would roughly be taken camping once a week, the rest would be short...

Hi gang, Looking for any really good resources on 4WD in general - very new to it myself, though I have been on several trips through the African bushveld with my dad way back when. Ultimately wanting to see the parts of Aus that are harder to get to (read: where there are fewer people there to...

Debating about which snorkel to go for. Putting this out to the 4wd community. Heres what I've got so far but I'm still torn (and not 100% percent sure): STAINO: pros: better/more airflow, sleek look. Cons: Cost SAFARI: pros: cheaper. cons: less airflow than the staino (i think) Mainly just...

G'day all, So I've had my 2014 Collie for a month and a half now, haven't done any towing or offroading yet, but I've noticed that the engine bay is radiating a fair bit of heat after it's been running for a while. Even though the temp gauge has even climbed over half-way and usually sits at a...

Good day, everyone. I'm a new-ish Pajero Sport GLS (MY 2020 - QF) owner. I bought the car in March and now I'm feeling the itch to explore non-tarmac territory, such as beaches and the bush :D for the first time. I've started preparing with the basics for any 4x4 adventure, based on Ronny...

Hi all, I'm new to the 4x4 world. I haven't done any off roading yet but with the whole stuck inside I can't really get out there right now. A little about me. I'm 28, family man, love camping and fishing (not very good at it, haha). I live in Sydney. I work in a boring office job and...

G'day all First up, complete newbie with minimal 4x4 experience, hoping for that to change in the future! I'm keen to get myself a wagon within the next 9-12 months (gives me some time to put cash together) and would love to get opinions from those who've been around longer than I have. What...

G'day all, Bit of a newbie question here, and one that I'm sure has been asked to death, but I'm kinda stuck. I've been wanting to get into 4x4ing for a while now and have gotten to the point where I'm actively looking for a vehicle to buy. A bit of a background: I'm a uni student looking for...

Since moving to Australia 3 years ago I have been working in rural Australian settings without a car. During my first year in Alice Springs I was lucky enough to make a ton of friends with 4WD's which allowed me to have some awesome outback experiences. Since moving away my ability to work and...
