Attention! Apparently there is a 16 second silent period from 8:54. Until I can work out how to fix it now it’s published please be aware. Thanks! MadMatt 4WD and I chew the fat about 4WD Training and the new course Matt has developed, making it super easy to learn 4WD skills and techniques and save yourself a long and slow learning curve on the tracks. From what I've seen of the course I reckon it's good and I'm not getting paid to say that. You make your own mind up. Check it out at the link below.

Next year I plan to do the Canning Stock Route. I think I'm going to go Tagalong with Jed Currey from Explore WA 4WD Adventures. So in this episode I pick his brains on what to expect and how to plan.
It's a long episode and we talk about a lot of elements of traversing the Canning. I hope you enjoy it like I did talking to Jed.
By the way, no discounts, deals or payments were exchanged for any part of this episode. No matter how you want to drive the Canning there will be some info to take away in this episode.
Tagalongs are not for everyone, but I've done a few now and by and large I have enjoyed them heaps and found them an easy way to drive areas I'm not familiar with. That's probably why I speak about them favourably.
Want to contact me? Got an idea for a podcast? Are you an expert at something? Lets talk.

Something totally new for the podcast as I put daily thoughts down each night around the campfire. I'm with The OFF ROAD TRADIES on a trip around SA we called The Mystery Tour. This was a timing and destination tryout for a permanent tour so I guess the next time it won't be a mystery but a full tour. For a first time it went pretty damn well. I had a ball and thoroughly enjoyed the itinerary. Jump on with us and find out how it went and what happened each day.

Well I bit the bullet and put an Automatic Gearbox in my 79 Series Toyota. The guys in SA at Go 4X4 did the conversion. There's a lot that goes into the conversion and as much in re learning to drive off road again. But what a blast. I talk the installation journey through with experience now with Hi-way, Towing and some good off road driving under the belt with the new gearbox.
Was it worth it? You'll have to listen. And the bit at the end where they retune my gearbox from Melbourne while I'm driving down a highway in Adelaide still blows me away.
Hope you enjoy. -

G'day fellow Zoners. This is all about the Zone chassis and few areas that concern me. There's nothing wrong with the strength, I can tell you a story to make your hair stand on end to testify the strength. In 5 years of ownership Andy considers the chassis design very solid.
But the design lends itself to some dust, rock, sand and salt ingress. In this episode with Stuart from Chassis Protech we talk about how something specific for Zone Caravans has been developed. We also go over the process Andy uses to flush, clean and protect the vulnerable ares of his chassis on 20'6 Off-roader

Andy has fitted these systems to both his car and caravan and enthuses over this really simple and cost effective way to protect and flush the chassis on your pride and joy.
We also talk about the secret spot the 79 series starts to rust in the chassis.

In this episode I talk with Norman Bee of Pindan Tours and 4WD Training. Norman is an absolute wealth of knowledge. I on the other hand had just had a knee replacement and was still on opioids for pain when we did this. I will admit this is not my best performance but Normans part is excellent. Look past me and absorb the learning in this one. Norman talks a lot about tyre pressure, recovery boards, snatch straps, recovery rings, exhaust jacks and lots lots more. There are nuggets of info that just keep popping up and I picked up plenty when I listened back and edited. (not on opioids then).
Give Norman a call for training or tagalong tours.
