Gearing up for an 11 day trip to the Victorian High Country (Australia). This kit is specific to my vehicle, camping gear and skill level. This does not include emergency supplies, recovery kit, first aid or fire suppression. Socket Set: I consider a 3/8 socket set as intermediate in size...

I'm running with 265/75r16 Falken Wildpeak A/T late on my Land Rover. Very quiet and plenty of grip. In all but the worst.

Testing the new expedition camper trailer off road.

Trial run of the new Boobook expedition camper. Firth Park in Wombat State Forest. Australia.

About to embark on Boobook Expedition 1.

Great to see some more Land Rovers on the site.  Nice builds Andre.

Sounds like you are well prepared to go it alone.  Experience, common sense, well chosen gear and the preparedness for contingency will take you to spectacular places AND back again.

Why would I worry about the people who do not know me and what they think of my vehicle?  My vehicle is what it is.  It is built for a purpose: to get my family and myself out into the world to discover its beauty and build life skills.

We chose a Land Rover Discovery 2 td5 Auto. Our main reasons (detailed here) were capability, size, cost and ... well... its a Land Rover. It was really a choice between a Toyota Land Cruiser, a Nissan Patrol or Land Rover Discovery. In Australia Patrols and Land Cruisers are like Jeeps in...

:blush: That may be true @Steve, but I can tell you that here in Australia, it is incredibly rare to see a modified Subaru for off road use, even in the outback.  I have worked in the outback.  It's all Nissans and Toyotas.  There are old Brumbys still hanging around though. That being said...

Ordered new rear TerraFirma coils to replace the stuffed air suspension on my D2.  Installation on Friday.

Great to see another outside-the-box build.  Looking forward to seeing how your Subaru develops over time @Steve.

Great post on Land Rovers @David .  When I bought mine it was a toss up between a Land Cruiser, Nissan Patrol and Land Rover Discovery.  I only had a budget of $10k to an old model was always the only option.  Here in Australia Cruisers and Patrols are like Jeeps in the USA; they are the public...

Thanks David.  Sure will.  Nice looking Landy.  Well kitted out looking rig. I got mine serious stuck last week.  Had to abandon it and hike out of the forest.  Luckily I was only 20 min from home.  Four hour recovery the next day.  You can read about it here.

Cheers bro.
