In the long run, it is actually cheaper to pay for better service along the way than paying for bad or dishonest work down the line.

GVM UPGRADES: STAYING LEGAL
The complexities involved in upgrading your vehicle’s GVM. It’s all about staying legal.
OLD SCHOOL AND THE NEW
Old school 4WDs were literally equipped with truck-like motors. They were reliable and would run almost forever. These days…
BOOST HOSES
Adam fits, then future proofs, a REDARC gauge to monitor boost in his 200 Series.
FIND YOUR BEARINGS
Wheel bearings can make or break a trip. Check them regularly for heat when travelling long distances and you might just avert a disaster.
LOVELL SUSPENSION UPGRADES
With mechanical work in Victoria restricted under lock down rules, Adam upgrades a customer’s suspension setup, while awaiting the all clear to get back on the tracks.
I recently switched out my swag mattress for a self-inflating Comfort Deluxe mattress from @seatosummit, and my only regret is that I didn’t do it years ago.
My swag is lighter, packs up easier and thinner, and this new generation of self-inflating mats is insanely comfortable.
We modify just about every other aspect of our 4WDs, I think it’s time for a new revolution in customising our beds out here.

@bendlebyranges is an offroad getaway destination with the lot, situated on a working station in the #Flindersranges, a cruisy three and a half hours north of Adelaide. Remote campsites are dotted between the hills and gullies of the rugged mountainous station and along the banks of picturesque gum tree-lined creeks. It’s one of the best places to get your shots of the Bendleby Ranges!

2012: Headed west to film our first series of 4WD Touring Australia on the Coral Coast. Bought a new board in Geraldton to surf the Bluff, had the time of my life.
Fast forward a few years. I’m back at the Bluff again filming Series 5: Beyond with @mitchparkinson and @john_wiley_visuals.
Still haven’t been barrelled here yet…but one day.
