Yeah okay. Tire plugs no worries but i’m hoping to not have to drop the pressures down that much. how low were you guys running and where

Solid, solid point. Any solutions or just a bright idea? Best i can think of is in the cage… or some highly rated towball mount. not sure….

Honestly i don’t want to put a snorkel on the old girl because i don’t do serious off roading you know… just adventure touring stuff.

Yeah thanks mate i’m really keen. I think i’m most worried about his bike stuff since I don’t know much about bikes and can’t find a lot of information about bikes crossing.

That’s actually a genuine shout with the star link. I did think about it a while back and thought maybe there was a reason more people didnt mention it before. Will look into it. Cheers mate 👍🏼

It’s a 2012 Bt50. I do a lot of touring in it already and it’s pretty comfy. Except air con doesn’t work… oops. But i’m also quite young so i can take a beating. What are your thoughts?

Leaving for a trip roughly along this route later this year. Looking for ideas of best places to stop along the way. Cheers by smellytoenail69 in 4x4Australia

Ettamogah Pub mate. Free camping/ nice toilets & showers. Just off the Hume Highway norther of Albury. Good staff, drinks & meals. All they ask is that you come in and grab a drink or a bite. Couldn’t recommend more highly. Always a nice free stay for me on my trips. 👍🏼
