I'm currently building my T6 Multivan 4Motion into an overlanding vehicle here in Tasmania. The picture is a "before" shot. I'm still in the final stages of fitting a snorkel and then it's off to Sydney to get a lift and bash plates.

I still have mine in Australia.

My van has a dashboard menu item to change the headlights from left to right, so easy.

RE RORO and theft. I'm wondering the cost of taking all the loose stuff (tools, parts) as excess baggage when I fly to the destination would be less than the difference between the container and RORO. It might make customs clearance easier too as it is accompanied. Randall

If you move to a night other than Friday or Saturday (US Time), I'll probably be at work. If I'm working from home still that may not be too much of a problem unless I have work meetings at that time. Currently, your Sunday night would not work for me at all but with the change of seasons, the...

My Instagram ID is tasrandall. It has more than just vehicular overlanding.

I've just returned from a trip to Tasmania's west coast. Not an actual 4wd trip although there was plenty of dirt driving. The main focus was on boating, kayaking and bushwalking along a fairly inaccessible piece of the coastline around the Pieman River and Pieman Heads. The weather for 3 out of...

This one is a good read. On the Pieman River in western Tasmania.

We had an excellent turn up of 14 stations, for the Christmas Day, Friday night net. Just about everybody seemed to be having a good Christmas despite the unusual circumstances. Network Controller VK7VWK – Randall TAS In and out check-ins KE6GVK – Mike AZ KJ7OKE – Don AZ K7RFX – Lawrence...

I suppose some might class my VW van as AWD, although in some ways it's technically not as to always drives at least one front wheel and 0-2 rear with the diff lock. There are so many places that these type of vehicles are perfectly adequate and in some cases, less weight can be an advantage.

Here is my 1990 RHD Lada Niva 1600. I still own this vehicle but haven't taken it out for a while. It's noisy and cantankerous but great fun.

Sorry about the miscommunication. Your initial reply kind of got lost in other messages. "Most Southerly Vehicle Campsite in Australia" I entered the campsite as attached. Most details are OK except the grade is not "Very Hard". I was having connectivity issues at the time and didn't see the...

Please delete and I will re-enter it.

Interesting discussion. Single range transmissions with more gears particularly in European 4wd's is becoming more common. The VW Amarok, we get in Australia, has a single range 8 speed DSG/Auto transmission with wide-spaced gears whilst only the rare manual transmission models had a High/Low...

G'Day all, The Net on July 10th was run by myself, VK7VWK, Randall in Hobart Tasmania (Australia). Our topic was what YouTube videos (or other media) do you watch related to overlanding. KT4OZ Terry VA - 4WD Action (Australia), Venture4wd, Ham Nation KM6GWU Dan CA W8ILL Will MI KJ7MFV Mike...

For tonight's net, the subject will be what Overlanding Youtube channels do you follow. Don't do youtube? then you are welcome to discuss any TV, DVD or even a good book on the subject of Overlanding.

Welcome, maybe I'll see you on the road when I get back up that way.
