Hi everyone, just joined heard a lot about this site and wanted to become apart of it.
I live in Brisbane and my husband and I do a lot of 4wdriving and camping we have two children well one is 18 nearly 19 now so not so much a child and we have a teenage daughter. will tell you all a bit about our vehicle and camper trailer below:
 
we drive a 1988 GQ Patrol petrol carby with the following accessories
extra fuel tank
snorkel
3 inch lift
bullbar
BFG mud tyres 285s
diff breathers
diff proctector
dual batteries
extractors
3inch exhaust

we own a Jayco Eagle Offroad 2000 special edition camper trailer.

our son drives a GQ Patrol turbo Diesel 1994 with a 2inch lift, mud tyres, dual batteries.

Welcome SLT,

you have come to the right place!  ;D

good story, the family that plays together, stays together.  Our girls (20 & 22) both still like camping with the rents.

Welcome.  Sounds like you have it all and it is not just sitting in the shed gathering dust. Have fun at the Cape. We are yet to do that trip but are off the the red centre in just over a weeks time. Have been working on our camper, replaced the brake shoes, fixed the hand brake cable, greased where needed, found a spot for our new Ozpig and now just a few minor jobs to go. Fun fun fun.   ;D
