no not worried. I didn't weld all the way around so moisture should get ok but basically where I go, there isn't too much moisure.. :)

Thanks guys...and yes we do still let Kiwi's in. Not all mind you but we have a special section for Landy drivers!! :) Just about to head off again and squeeze a last trip before Xmas. I will follow the green line the same as the last trip but then do the Blue loop. From Alice springs I...

Thought it might be a good time to update how all of my mods survived the big trip. Had a bit of collateral damage on the Centre Line Track. One tyre was staked twice and has a single plug repair on the inside and a 4 plug repair on the outside wall. This became a 5 plug repair when it...

That might be the German couple who perished after getting bogged near Halligan Bay, Lake Eyre. went there in the middle of summer when the temperatures were 50C with no experience and little gear. They did leave a message at William Creek...who had advised them not to go...but they went anyway...

I carry a comprehensive tool kit and a lot of spares such as seals, bearings, a full set of engine belts and hoses, spare suspension bushes as well as shocks and springs. On board compressor and plug kit for tyre repairs plus 2 spares, full oils ( engine, diffs, transfer and gearbox) plus a...

This was part of the return leg of my trip across Australia from Brisbane to Perth and back with as much dirt road as possible. Apologies for the "blue" pics...hack with a new camera accidentally changing a setting without realising. The Connie Sue is a 650km track, most of which is graded...

Thanks guys...appreciate the feedback. I'll post the rest of that trip and the damage report in the next couple of days. Cheers

Thanks Bennehboy... great to get the feedback and glad you are enjoying it. I'll try and next the next bit up asap. Cheers

The area is full of history..and a lot of British history centred around the atomic tests. Len was a real character and one of my favourite stories is that he was constantly being asked when the flies would go. Eventually he told one English scientist keeping a very straight face, 30th...

2nd stage of the trip was the Anne Beadell Highway... The Anne Beadell runs from Coober Pedy in South Australia in an east-west direction,1,350kms across the Great Victoria Desert to Laverton, north of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. Coober Pedy is a pretty wild opal mining town int he...

Hi flat. It certainly is fantastic country. So much of it was really opened up by Len Beadell and yet his story is largely untold. Whilst some of the roads he surveyed and built have been graded into real outback roads such as the Gary Junction Rd, and sections of some graded like the top end of...

Thanks Langers. Appreciate the feedback. Still got a bit to go on the 110 yet :)

Spent the night on the claypan Even cooked up some tucker The sun set was fantastic Few more shots from the 300 mile marker The original peg marking the spot of the astro station The sign on the new 300 mile post. As you can see in the earlier pic, Len...

1. Centre Line Track off Anne Beadell Highway, remote bush Aussie This a copy of a post I have done on an Australian Land Rover forum. As background information, Len Beadell was an army surveyor who cut roads thru the virgin bush in the 50's and 60's. He drove an army Land Rover and was...

Been held up for ages finishing the rocker rails and bash plates to protect the sill tanks.....finally, and am I happy to get this one off the list , but very happy with the end result. Had some sheet folded up Welded some socket nuts on for fixing Put rivnuts into the...

The big trip is rolling around faster than my ability to do the planned mods which were converting the crew cab to ute and having a slide on camping unit with a roof top camper on top of the slide on. Whilst that is still the long term plan, the immediate problem is carrying a lot of things...

The other option is a Sy Klone pre cleaner which draws the air from underneath and also expels the heavier dust keeping the air filter much cleaner in dusty conditions. I have always been concerned about water getting in with the ram style tops and have run Sy Klones on my last 3 vehicles and...

Due to the long distance covered and the distance between fuel when remote touring in Aussie, long range tanks are a gimme. I opted for a set of sill tanks which would give me an extra 100L on top of the standard 75L. The thing I liked about the sill tanks was that it kept the weight down...

Not sure of the cost in the UK but I run a Hannibal and have taken it all over the Aussie outback and it has never let me down. The cover has taken an absolute beating from branches and held up superbly.

Sorry guys I have been really busy but will get to post more of the build in the next 3 or 4 days.
