Overland Rigs Australia

[Daz 76]

Hey guys, I've followed OB for some time now but I haven't been on the forum for that long, so I'd love to see what everyone has chosen for their overland rig.
I'm in the US until June and I've been using a Dodge Caravan (minivan [emoji23]), so don't be shy to show us what you've got.

Here's mine. This is currently sitting in Australia waiting for me to get home to start the new build. I only bought this yesterday and can't wait to get back and get into it.

This was my 1st 4WD. 93 FZJ80 - auto and dueal fuel plus other bits and bobs

This was my second rig. 2008 Nissan Pootroll CRD. It is a total friggen POS. I never got stuck in it as it wss bloody capable but it always kept on breaking down

 

[Nick74]

And this is my current rig. 2013 Mitsubishi Challenger 2.5TD Auto. 2' lift and pretty much all of the Ironman catalogue

And this is it before I modified and scratched the poop out of it

 

[Nick74]

This is my 1st rig again. He was called Bruce. This is a pic of him with his best mate, the Mudsub.

Yeah mate it was pretty tidy, 2"TJM lift, 33" KM2s, super tight rear LSD, and other bits and bobs. If only it wasn't petrol and LPG I would still have it, oh and also I bent the B pillar one day out in the Barrington Tops............... what a great story

Vehicle of choice on this end is a 09 Hilux.

Went through all options and find this unique package in a dealership one day, picked it up and never looked back. Did a fraser trip stock as a rock... life changing. Suspension upgrade and another visit to the island within a year to the day of the first trip.. mind blowing.

So the mods continued and are continuing to continue... getting another upgrade project today actually lol

My current rig, 1999 Holden Rodeo, 2" lift, several additions most homemade, in the process of rearranging my kit and upgrading it, getting it ready for family life as well as overlanding :) The struggle is real. haha. There are some great rigs in Australia that is for sure.

 

[Daz 76]

Haha, yes the struggle is real @David Nielsen, but it can be done. We have 4 of the little tackers that travel with us.
It's a well setup rig you have there too. [emoji106]
