Guest The Pom Queen Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Got my mobile camping/cooking set up started. [ATTACH=CONFIG]21130[/ATTACH] now to start saving for a Waeco or Engel for the fridge/cooker slide. just found a water storage system with built in pump as well. We struggle with the Pajero and a huge roof rack so I don't know how you manage to fit everything in. I think our fridge is an ever cool as I'm sure they said it was the same insides as the Waeco or Engel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

furkew Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Love this, would love to buy it for one of my boys I think the old willy's jeeps are fantastic fun. I keep coming across them on fleabay and have been very tempted to put in a bid, but just don't have the space or time at the moment.

Ahh you may ahve answered a question there, is Shannons like the RACV for if you want to go off roading or is it a special car insurance you are suppose to have and if so can you give me a rough idea of costs?

I have the RACV total cover package which covers breakdowns offroad, but in this case, I hit a tree stump so classified therefore as an accident. RACV did put me through to a recovery company (I got the vehicle onto a normal dirt road for the recovery) but the costs and everything else went through my insurance with shannons. Because my vehicle is heavily modified, I am classified as an enthusiast, and therefore am able to insure under shannons. I had an agreed value of just under $50K and fully comp insurance I was paying about $1300 per year. That is now obviously going up I expect.

furkew Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) We love Jeeps too. They make our workshop a LOT of money. they would be the ones that get used properly and not the ones that never see any mud in anger What most people don't realize, but JEEP actually stands for Just Empty Every Pocket. BTW, here is the new model that jeep is bringing out for the cheaper segment of the 4x4 market Edited October 12, 2013 by furkew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furkew Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Ok. Jeeps back on the road. headed off last weekend to the Victorian high country for a "boys" and a "girls" weekend. the boys (me and my mate Pete) took our 4by's out to play on tracks around craigs hut, sheepyard flats, pineapple flats, razorback just to name a few, and the girls travelled over 100km's on horseback with "high country horses" having a great time seeing the beauty of the high country on horseback.

furkew Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 if anybody wants more info on the 4x4 tracks out that way or on the horse riding just drop me a PM. BTW, I broke the jeep again It was only a Uni joint this time, and luckily a group of dirt bike riders helped me pull out the front axle half way up a hill, so all good. need to get her fixed ASAP, as I have been invited to go to Robe (SA) for some beach/sand dune fun in 2 weeks, and they have hired a helicopter to film the fun and games for advertising for a jeep parts supplier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

furkew Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 went out a few weeks ago to Walhalla for a play in the high country again. awesome countryside, views and nature at its best. (plus boys and their toys having fun) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furkew Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 and for the jeep sceptics, I didn't break anything this time!! I missed the Robe trip because of other commitments, but after seeing this vid, I'm spewing I couldn't make it (does contain a few naughty words Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docboat Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Any thoughts on the best camper trailer to tow behind the 4x4? We are heading out bush (well, probably up the coast of WA first, but Kimberley and Gibb River road a certain destination) in the coming year. Hard floor preferred, and easy to erect.
