Hi there,

The name here is Mark,
Location is North East Victoria, Australia.

Been 4WDing for over 30 years now, in all types of terrain. Started out in hardcore 4wding and now just doing
adventure off road touring. Don't like driving on the Black Top that much.

Now driving an FJ Cruiser 2016, with modified heavy duty suspension for carrying camping etc on our trips.

Its winter here at the moment and enjoy getting out in the back country XC skiing and of cause 4wding.

Yes - the FJ did not take off as well in Australia as in the U.S. It's a Petrol vs Diesel thing over here, but since they had stopped manufacturing them for Australia in 2016, there is a demand for them now. They have held their pricing very well over here on the second hand market.
Its a very tricked up 4WD and love driving it. Its also has out preformed Diesel 4WD in fuel economy on most of our outback trips. Even running on 91 octane fuel.
