HOLDEN COLORADO
DAVID TRIPEPI
Mods include a four-inch EFS/Bilstein/Kings suspension lift, full Raptor liner in Military Green, two-inch body lift; 315/75R16 Comforser CF3000 tyres, and MW canopy. The best place I’ve been with it would have to be Portland and Wombat/Lerderderg Forest in Victoria.
2007 TOYOTA PRADO
NICK FIRTH
The Prado has been set up mainly for touring, with a two-inch Ironman 4x4 Foam Cell lift, BFGoodrich All-Terrains on painted factory rims, dual batteries, an Engel fridge in lieu of the rear passenger seat, UHF, Sony audio head unit, 270° awning, steel side-steps, ARB deluxe bullbar, Safari snorkel, Kaon bash plates, and a rear door cage and table.
2019 FORD RANGER RAPTOR
KATHRYN MARMARA-STEWART
In addition to the factory mods I have Front Runner roof and tub racks, a 60L ARB Elements fridge on a 1400mm RV Storage Solutions fridge slide, Lightforce LED Strikers and a 30-inch single-row light bar, two GME UHF antennas, GME XRS-370 UHF and UNIDEN 9060 UHF units installed in the cabin, and a TJM air onboard module four-port setup with an ARB onboard compressor.
2009 TOYOTA HILUX
MIKE HALLIDAY
Mods include three-inch Ultimate suspension, Pedders rear disc brake conversion, ELockers front and rear, ARB bar work, a Pouty’s custom tray and canopy, Safari snorkel, and Nitto Trail Grappler tyres. Probably the best trip so far would be to the Victorian High Country. Cape York is on the cards soon, too.
