Try asking Tom... http://toms-fahrzeugtechnik.eu/de/ He can do the VDJ7x in LHD but my German isn't good enough to understand the detail of the conversion. Officially the VDJ7x is only sold in Aus and only RHD.

Another possible route for you would be to drive east to Russia and ship from Vladivostok. These guys did that trip in reverse from aus via south korea: http://www.seeyouwhenwegetthere.com/index.php If it was me I'd be going for more than a month or 2. Next to shipping your biggest cost is...

the criteria for importing a vehicle to aus are here: http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/ ... y_2011.pdf in short for someone with a uk passport going for a holiday it's not possible. as you're emmigrating to aus you should have a read through the brochure as you'll need to apply for...

Lots of info in this blog: http://trektooz.com/ just a shame about their choice of vehicle :whistle: But compared to these guys who are leaving in 2013 it's positively sensible: http://www.cocothecab.com/ Best thing though would be to have a search around here...

The best place to look in Europe for 2nd hand is http://www.mobile.de. There's a RHD German registered HZJ75 on there at the moment for 14,500 euros.

The cost for visas and ferries is the same whether you go for 3 months, 6 months or 12 months. Fuel costs will also be similar as most people who travel for a longer period of time will travel much more slowly, staying places for longer. I took 19 months to travel Cape Town to UK, or 6 times...

Does it happen when you drive on a rough road or over a bump / through a pot hole? I had a similar problem when I was driving on rough tracks with the headlights flickering and eventually going off completely. I also had a ticking noise which was the relay opening and closing. The problem was an...

Southern Africa doesn't suffer so much from large scale turmoil in the way North Africa has recently, but these things rarely cause problems for tourists. I was in Egypt around the time of the revolution and it was fine. From the places I've been Southern and Eastern Africa are more risky in...

If you're looking for lhd keep an eye on www.mobile.de and www.buschtaxi.de There's a couple of hzj75 pick ups on mobile.de now for 12,700 and 15,000 euros but both are 1997 models. They're very rare vehicles in Europe.

If you want to get technical this place has some very indepth reviews of all kinds of digital cameras: http://www.dpreview.com/ and if you want to find the best price for your chosen camera have a look here: http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/ Not sure either of them are going to cover an...

Personally I can't see 75's going up in value any more than they are at the moment. Don't get me wrong, they're great trucks. I had my 75 troopie for 3 years and lived out of it for a year and half through Africa. Took us everywhere we wanted to go carrying a fair weight of overland clutter...

That US price is cheap. In Aus they come in around AU$49,000

Sorry mate, you're right. Just had a look at Vic Roads and that's what they say. WA is easier as no examination is required if it's a WA vehicle but interstate and overseas vehicles do require an examination. Also had a look at what Vic Roads say for mods, and that's not such good reading. "A...

Not possible with Vic unfortunately as they require a road worthiness check before you can register your vehicle. It's possible with WA as they don't, but they're the only state where this is the case.
