Show and Shine - Show us your tow vehicle set up!

[scottbec]

Hi all,

I've been a member for a while and have had a few questions answered very well, so I thought I should put some effort in and get the ball rolling with some info about our setup.

Here's a pic of the car and van, to get started. I will need to put up a post about a few mods we have done to the van (mainly done by one of my mates!! - axle overslung, bigger wheels, spare wheel bracket and stone guard)...

Anyway, there not as new as some of the other rigs on here, but they suit us perfectly...

2005 TD Prado with enough room for the wife, three kids, the fridge and the dog. And a 2008 18.57-6 with triple bunks, big fridge and a few other great features.

Here's a pic.

Cheers, Scott

I'll save an update of The Rock Truck until the few mods ordered are added in the next month or so. Some mighty fine rigs in here though... Some serious envy going on here...

I've been meaning to put some some pics on this thread for a while now, finally getting around to it, a couple from during the past year of travel and fun. We haven't done anything extreme to modify our ute, just simple stuff.
ML Triton GLXR TD
TJM Airtech Snorkel (only just fitted, so not in these photos)
Mickey Thompson ATZ - awesome tyre
Adjustable wastegate
There may or may not be an EGR blanking plate
Roof racks/bike racks
and a heap of recovery gear in the tub for when I push it too far!

That's some sandcastle

Good fun at Stockton dunes and the beaches. Looking forward to getting back into the sand to do Fraser island in a few weeks.
I'm a big believer in if you have a 4x4 you may as well get it out, use it and enjoy this country we've got.

Out with the old, in with the new.

 

[bigcol]

[Indiandme]

Yep bought a Jeep, went in and test drove a Isuzu MUX, bought a Jeep. Prado was a great tug, but time to upgrade.
