WAYNE’S 40 SERIES LANDCRUISER
Good to see one of the classic ‘Cruisers here, which Wayne tells us he’s had for almost 20 years now and built from the ground up himself. His 40 has been fitted with a small-block Chevy engine and a T700 transmission. Wayne’s also got a soft-top and soft-doors, which can be zipped into half-doors to give him extra visibility when he’s out on the tracks. After selling his camper a couple of years ago, Wayne decided to build a custom trailer to get back that lost storage space. The matching paint job and tyres make this addition very enviable indeed…Whoever said you can’t fit four people in a shorty just hasn’t tried. Good work, Wayne!

DAVE’S GU PATROL
Here we have Dave’s ‘pride and joy’, but to us common folk we’d call it a 2003 GU Patrol powered by a TD42-t. He’s had it since it was new and after 12 years, he’s still finding more mods to add to his already impressive list. He’s got a Twine shower, dual batteries, and dual fridges for when he’s setting off longer trips to the High Country or Beachport to get his wheels on the sand. Dave and his partner’s last trip was a short 23,000km, five-month trip up to the Kimberley and through WA passing by the Horizontal Falls, The Pilbara and Coral Coast and as many small towns as possible along the way. Great to see you using your fourby to collect some incredible memories on – and off – the road.
GRAHAME’S SUBURU FORESTER
Now here’s one you don’t see on the track every day! We’ve got a 2003 Suburu Forester 2.5X that Grahame originally bought to replace his EH Holden Wagon but quickly mutated into his (first) project car. It has raised King Springs plus 1in strut-spacers from Subie Lift Oz, a front bar, rear bar with spare tyre mount and a bash plate, all from Subaxtreme. He’s gone for slightly larger tyres with some 225/60R16s. Other additions include Narva Ultima 175 driving lights, a 2x3m awning, roof basket, Rhino Racks and a Rhino Rack shovel mount, and a Uniden UHF mounted on the dash. Grahame says it’s unstoppable on sand due to its light weight and serves him as a great little camping rig, and after reading that list of mods, we can’t say we have a reason to doubt him.
GEORDIE’S JK WRANGLER
Geordie is what you might call a ‘reluctant’ Jeep owner. His wife was adamant that she wanted one and as it turns out, Geordie wouldn’t have it any other way. Their 2011 JK Wrangler has had very little done to it – mostly because it already seems to do just about everything he and his wife want it to. The mods it has had include a 2in lift kit on the suspension and an ARB bullbar, rearbar and rear-wheel carrier. Geordie says he’s even had some Toyota drivers say they’d prefer to drive his wife’s Jeep, and by the looks of it, he’s got an enviable vehicle on his hands – well, at least his wife does.
