Flinders Ranges and Arkaroola

Gravel gorge drives through Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park, the private Skytrek loop at Willow Springs and the rugged self-drive tracks of Arkaroola further north. The park roads suit any 4WD in the dry, while Arkaroola's Echo Camp Backtrack has sections too rough for stock vehicles.

What the trip asks of your 4WD

In the order a fitter would raise them, each with the reason. Up to three parts that fit for each, the first already chosen; swap any of them, or mark one you don't need.

Build it for your 4WD

Your rego or your model, and every part below is one that fits it. Until then you see the gear that fits any 4WD; the parts made for one vehicle wait for yours.

Rego · fastest

We look up the make, model, series and engine from the plate. We keep the plate and the vehicle details, never the owner’s, for 90 days, so you aren’t asked twice.

Make & model

  1. 1 · Suspension & GVM

    Long corrugated roads between Wilpena, Blinman and Arkaroola, plus rocky low-range climbs, punish tired stock shocks.

    Build the suspension for your 4WDLift, load and the engineer's rules for your state, specced for the vehicle and what it carries.

    • 2 · Bull bars

      Kangaroos, emus and feral goats crowd the roads at dawn and dusk.

    • 3 · Rock sliders

      Arkaroola's backtracks and Skytrek's rocky climbs bring the sills and underbody close to rock.

    • 4 · Lighting & 12V

      A dual battery keeps the fridge running at park and station campgrounds.

    • 5 · Storage & racks

      A week of camping gear, water and food needs a secure load on corrugated roads.

    Each of these is made for one vehicle, so the parts show once we know yours.

The trip asks for these; the rest of the rig is yours to choose. Build the whole rig for this trip.
