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

    The Port Warrender Road's corrugations are notorious for breaking shock absorbers and mounts.

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

  2. 2 · Storage & racks

    Everything for several days, including extra fuel, rides with you from Drysdale River Station.

    • 3 · Tow & rear bars

      Two spares are standard here, and a rear wheel carrier keeps the second off the roof.

    • 4 · Lighting & 12V

      A dual battery keeps the fridge running at camps with no power or phone reception.

    • 5 · Air intake

      The King Edward and Drysdale river crossings and the constant dust make a snorkel sensible.

    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.
