G'day to all my fellow 4B drivers. I'm a member of other 4x4 sites so I'm kind of in familiar territory. It's always good to jump on a new one though because you get to meet more 4x4 aficionados.

I'm a casual 4wdriver and not into any of that hardcore rock climbing stuff. I'm more into the touring side of things and like to get off road onto some not so challenging to medium tracks.

My favourite place to explore is the Victorian High Country (God's country).

I've currently got a 1995 Jackaroo with the 3.2 V6 and 5 speed manual. I've only got a few modifications on it which are the usual lift, bigger tyres, alloy bull bar, cargo barrier, UHF, EPIRB, GPS, Roo Lites lamps, digital compass, Black Rat winch kit, fire extinguisher and a high lift jack.

I've found the Jackaroo to be a very underrated vehicle but capable machine and it's been engineered to last. I previously owned a Pajero and a Patrol and the Jackaroo is the best so far. No complaints at all.

I'm currently in the process of changing GPS units from a GoNav with a big 7" screen to an IPAQ 312 which I should get early next week. I found the 7" screen to be great but just a little too big for the Jackaroo.

The car came with Goodyear Wrangler AT/R's but in the next month or two I'll be getting a set of mud tyres.

Anyway that's about it for me for now. Keep an eye out for my threads. I've started some on other sites which really caused a lot of debate particularly regarding the ever rising cost of fuel and alternative fuels.

Welcome, 001525, weird sort of name!!! Another Victorian, cool, roughly what part of the state?

G'day mate. Yep it's a weird name but I wanted something that doesn't mean anything to anyone. I'm in Melbourne and do all of my off roading in the High Country. I've travelled extensively through the far north east covering the area from Rutherglen to Benambra.

More recently though I've discovered that there are some brilliant tracks closer to home around the Jamieson/Woods Point area but with the high fuel prices, the number of drives will now be scaled down considerably.

Thanks for the welcome.


:rolleyes:

Thanks. Yeah numbers eh? I know, it's a bit of a weird name but it's my user name for a lot of internet sites. I figure it's easier to have one user name for everything. It's hard enough tryin to remember all the passwords let alone a different user ID. The numbers don't mean anything other than my two birthdays put together and jumbled up. So there you have it. An explanation of my user name.
