Jeff- based in Gippsland , is a region in Victoria Australia which is a particularly rich 4x4ing area, there is whole range of 4x4ing to be done here!

I just want to say awesome, wow, great. I enjoy visiting your site, to see what's new. I am from South Africa and enjoy Offroading myself, but I can tell you now, it is nothing like what you guy's are doing, you would probably laugh at us, Anything to do with 4x4 is a very expensive hobby over here and we don't get all the aftermarket products here, If any product is available, it is very expensive, If you need anything, you must import it from the USA or Australia.Off coarse we don't get the vehicles as well, we have the normal pickup's with small engines, I have a V6 Nissan Sani (Pathfinder) and this is about as big as they go.We get 4X4 vehicles like the Land Cruiser's, Land Rovers and these days the Jeep Cherokee's, but they are anything from $ 50 000 upwards.My vehicle is a Nissan Sani Double Cab, a Station Wagon is also available.
