My Patrol is set up for off-road touring. It has a 2.5-inch lift with long-travel three-way adjustable remote reservoir shocks, rear airbags, Kaymar rear bar with swing-away, and a rear custom drawer set-up with 85L on-board water storage - Ayeshan Bandara

2020 Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series

The chassis has been extended and it has portal axles, TJM Pace suspension, TJM bar work and winch, a Bullant tray and canopy, Redarc electrics, and a Drifta rooftop tent. Holland Track is a great track, and down to Bilbunya sand dunes is always a great trip. It also handled very well in the Kennedys - Wayne De Villiers

2014 Toyota Hilux

It’s my daily work car (tows a trailer every day), and then I use it for play on the weekends. This pic was taken up in the High Country near Blue Rag track.

2021 Toyota Prado GXL

7

I have only had it for six months and four of those were in lockdown, so a day trip to the Lost City in Litchfield is the only place I’ve taken it so far. It has a Fox 2.0 two-inch lift, bronze Method 703s wrapped in 33-inch BFG muddies, an Offroad Animal bar, lights, sliders, Scout roof rack, dual batteries, ARB on-board air, and a Warn winch - Wayne Marshall

Land Rover 6x6

7

This was designed and built by Jaguar Rover Australia for the Army contract called Perentie. The Army required a vehicle to be able to carry two tonnes cross country, and the winning design was a unique chassis and body that was 75 per cent Australian bespoke built. Running as a constant 4WD, and locking the centre diff on the fly activates the rear axle.

I was going to convert the ambulance into a full camper conversion, but after a few short trips I realised it didn’t need a full rebuild as it already has everything – insulated, air conditioned, extra batteries, PTO winch and multiple storage boxes. This photo was taken when driving down a boat ramp and then across a lake in Victoria that hadn’t had water in it since 2011 - Damien Rafferty
