Mining machinery operator

When did you join The Shed and why?

Saw it on the web site and realised it would be a great way to meet others interested in offroading and a good way to learn about trips away and what others are doing to there awesome trucks on there

Cut it down from a wagon to a extra cab ute, 6 inch lift, tough dog adjustable shocks and Panhard rods, front and rear air lockers. 35'Baja claws, dual batteries ,9000lb warn low mount winch, custom tray, 90L under tray water tank, Glind shower system, UHF radio, IPF spotties

Where do you like going bush?

Anywhere I can, LandCruiser Park, Fraser Island, Cape York, Double Island Point to Noosa, local tracks here near Hervey Bay and Bundy.

Tell us about that first ‘oh bugger’ moment you have had off road:

When I barrel rolled my first 4wd out in a paddock clowning around

What's next for the truck?

Side rails and step/sliders and a power upgrade, turbo or V8 I can’t decide yet
  
Have you done any extended trips in your fourbie, if so do you have any advice or experiences to share?

Been to Cape York in ‘04 before I chopped it down. It was great, I recommend everyone goes there at least once

What’s your favourite rig off The Shed, other than your own?

It’s hard to pick just one there are so many great truck on there with all different set ups from hard core rock / bush bashing to the complete tourers
