Set yourself up with a bush welding kit, and you’ll never have to buy a beer again once your mates need some track-side repairs. In this episode we run through the gear you will need, the set up and processes to make an effective repair with a really simple kit. There's more information on the...

Andrew has used a 5 watt handheld UHF radio for a while, but with bigger, longer trips coming up he wanted to increase the range but keep costs down. So with the help of a little adaptor and some advice, we got his range from one mile to 10 miles for around a hundred bucks. (For our post-Brexit...

In this short episode we catch up Jamie who is hitting the road with wife and four kids in tow, for however long it takes. How good is that? He was loading up our counter with heaps of goodies in preparation for his trip, and Andrew just had to ask what he was up to. Have a listen to how he is...

Andrew and I are very passionate. Yes that does sound scary. But we're passionate about our Aussie Made gear and industry. With so many Aussies now on the club forum, I'm sure this next conversation will resonate with many of you. I hope you enjoy this one...

This week's episode is a little late being posted by yours truly, I got carried away on other tasks. But here it is, talking with my mate Andrew about some basic battery stuff. This is particular to Andrew's new van which we were still sorting on our shake-down trip, but hopefully its...

Hey folks, I know its been a long time between whistle stops, but Andrew and I have had a huge workload to get through to set ourselves up again. Just to fill you in on the story to date, we had the whole radio gig going along nicely and we were simply having a load of fun. Except the grumpy old...

I had a rather long distance visitor pop in today. The lovely Mrs Julie White of the Andy clan popped in for a surprise visit. Of course I took the opportunity for a quick wander around my 80 series. Julie even grabbed a happy snap. I should have done my hair.... :icon-biggrin: And then half an...

Has anyone heard of or been in touch with Colby and Alita travelling the world in an old HJ47 Troopcarrier? I was fortunate enough to be referred by a company who they had contacted for parts and was able to have a quick email chat with Colby. They are currently in Talca, Chile and have a...

Guys and gals, we have decided there is a need for some changes in what, how and where we present our 4WD show, so we are taking this opportunity to regroup and refresh what we have created already. We will be back with more very soon with a new program schedule and more freedom with what we...

I got a call to do a recovery....seems someone bought a Jeep....!! :icon-biggrin: (Sorry UK guys, its an Aussie TV ad on here, the silly old bugger bought a Jeep) Anyway, I just wanted to wish everyone we have had the pleasure of knowing and serving throughout the year a very merry...

We called in the Big Guns last night..!! We had the Police, Fire, Rescue and Driver Reviver people join us for some great hints and tips, plus a few of our own chucked in for good measure. If you listen right through, you'll also get to learn that fish do sweat, how to make Nuts'n'Bolts, and...

Well here you go folks, buckle up, we're off to Tasmania for a tour of the Apple Isle. For our UK mates, this is the little island off the southern coast of the mainland, a fantastic place for 4WDing (especially the wild west coast) and some of the most scenic spots Australia has to offer. We...

Hello again guys and Gals. This time we've been talking tyres, wheels, pressures, temperatures and a whole lot more. Excuse Andrew's 'Dad Jokes' introduction this week, but its all about having a laugh as we go. And it didn't stop there. Listen in via SoundCloud and let us know what you think...

This show we catch up with Mr4x4 himself - Pat Callinan, Mandy from TAWKers, and an old mate Ian 'Mac' McDougall. We chat about a variety of ideas when or if planning a trip with the kids. Plus a heap more as we babble our way through the evening. I hope you enjoy it, any feedback is welcome...

We had a few more laughs last night on our Hills Radio 4WD, Caravan & Camping Show, although we did try and be a little serious. I was behind the controls, but luckily Andrew uses his media wizardry to cut all those 'blank' bits out for me when I miss the buttons in time. But hopefully there's...

I'm back again guys with my ol' mate Andrew Kennedy, and this time we're talking about doing The Big Lap. Aussie style of course. We interview a few people doing or have done The Big Lap, and also have a special guest in the studio, my good mate Enrico the Butcher. We had some fun and laughs as...

Well here you go folks, my co-host Andrew has worked hard and fast and sorted the second episode of our radio show '4WD, Caravan & Camping Show' already. We had great fun last night, even got a few messages and opinions along the way, which was great. Thank you. This has a special feature...

Hi Folks. Crispin has kindly set up a new sub-section for podcasts such as from our new radio show I am co-hosting along with my good mate Andrew Kennedy. We have only just recently kicked off this new show, after a couple of nervous practice sessions. But we did have a lot of fun on Monday...

I'd like to ask if any of the members on here are based on the west coast of the USA and might help with some advice and contacts. I am attending a 'business conference' :icon-wink: in San Diego and then Los Angeles from April 30th next year, and figure we (including the matrimonial secretary)...

I would like to put forward a proposal to the UK based forum members about getting hold of some Aussie 4WD goodies in a way that everyone benefits from a combined shipping option. I have gained approval from Crispin here prior to posting this, and we have also agreed on how I can support and...

I guess I am pretty proud and chuffed with my Landcruiser, can't deny that, so I'm happy to post up a few words and pix as I go. It has been a long love affair with Toyota's best ever model produce. Not that I'm biased at all, but they stopped making bloody great Landcruisers in 1997. So I...

Well I've decided to jump on board and say hello to all the Landcruiser people on this forum. There are quite a few people I know and chat with anyway, and who have suggested I get in to it, so here I am. So hello to all, I'm Chris. I'll do a real short bio, and if anyone wants to know more I...
