Was goofing off on Youtube and found this. Pretty awesome stuff.

Do they get different tire choices than we do? I've never seen any of the ones on there.. ;| pretty cool! :thumb:

[Funrover]

Nice!

[4Runninfun]

cool vid. Yes they do have different tires than we get. A very popular brand is called simex.

[mattzj98]

some of them looked really cool.. I'll look into those, thanks!

Skinny pedal wheeling...

Catch the photog in the red cap moving out of the way on the first vehicle rollback?

Pretty cool. Not only are the tires different, the Toyota body styles are different and I would be willing to bet that there are a more than a few diesel rigs in that group.

I was on the site of another Australian forum a couple of years ago looking at a lot of their wheeling trails. For the most part, the scenery looked like it could be 'Anywhere, USA' and had a lot of trails very similar to Colorado and Cali.

Then you have the Outback...

Sweet!

[Heather]

Wow, they're not gentle on their rigs at all, huh?

All out motivation going on there! I really like that crew cab truck and the lime green half cab(I think it was a suzuki)!

A lot of them are actually 70 series land cruiser. We weren't fortunate enough to have them over here. If you want one, it's at least $30k.

The two green ones are a Land Rover Defender 90 (first one in vid) and the 2nd one is actually an '82 FJ60.

Beat me to it, Matt!

I believe that the 4 door sans top is a LC80, also a crappy lime green...you know, the color Scrat seems partial to...Hey...the other Matt is partial to that nasty green color, too.....

I confess..I had a set of steel wheels that I done the "GO Green" thing on for a bit with some 36" Swampers on my heap....Laughter and ridicule from my friends eventually made me change them...

quitter :D don't you know you're not supposed to give into peer pressure?

Hey, just trying to be more visible. Can't beat glow in the dark!

Crap yourself much? Damn that was close.

[Brody]

huh? I'd have thought it would have made you want to paint them even brighter green

Wait until I paint the pink "Mr Sensitive" on the side of my heap! It will beat the "Barbie is a Slut" I had on the back of an old Yota 4x of mine years ago.....

[Java]

wow, those guys are nuts. I guess Aussie transfercases only have 4-hi and 4-higher. Love all the Toyotas, the FJ60 is almost unrecognizable.

[Captain]

Funny to see a Wrangler in there, you don't see too many of them over there! Nice video! :thumb:
