Hi Everyone, After the fixes and adjustments to our gear in Dad's Shed we hit the road again, and made it as far as Robe in South Australia. This place is famous for it's baech driving and massive sand dunes, and now I know why! We spent a couple of days driving south from Robe to Beachport -...

Hi Everyone, After Tasmania I swung back through Dad's place and together we worked on a ton of little fixed, improvements and changes to the Gladiator setup and camping/overlanding gear. These little tweaks make life on the road so much more enjoyable, and most importantly more convenient...

Hi Everyone, With my Dad as stunt driver we drove back up into the Victorian High Country to tackle over 30 river crossings in a single day on the famous Crooked River Track. The river zig zags back and forward while the old mining exploration track basically goes straight, crossing the river...

Hi All, I strongly believe suspension should be the LAST upgrade on any overlander, and in my latest video I run through the whys of what I've chosen. After months of planning and research, I just upgraded the suspension on my Gladiator. It's impossible to choose the correct suspension package...

Hi Everyone, I'm loving the wilderness on the West Coast of Tasmania, and set out to tackle the Sandy Cape Track - known for it's river crossings, beaches and quicksand (yes, really). It did not disappoint, and is maybe the highlight of Tassie for me! In this video I tackle what is easily the...

Hi Everyone, It's been a long time coming, and I'm finally exploring the region of Tasmania I have been looking forward to most of all. With a name like "The Road to Nowhere" I couldn't resit exploring the famous Western Wilderness Road in the most remote region of Tasmania. With very little...

Hi Everyone, I've been exploring South West Tasmania, which may just be the most stunning place I've ever explored on the planet. The wilderness is immense, and there is simply nobody around - it's like having Alaska or the Yukon all to yourself - simply incredible. I show it off in my latest...

Hi All, As I moved around Africa I interviewed interesting Overlanders that I bumped into - showing their story and what they were up to. Here in Australia I've decided for a twist on that, and I'll be filming interesting Overland vehicles that I come across, showing the features and...

Hi all, I've been exploring Bruny Island off Tasmania - yep, that's an Island off an island... off an island :D I finally got the Gladiator onto the beach for the first time, explored stunning forests and beaches and had a great time! The house on wheels Gladiator continues to perform really...

Hi All, I've been exploring the WILD east coast of Tasmnaia, and it's utterly breathtaking. This place is truely stunning, some of the best bang-for-your-buck scenery I've seen anywhere on the planet! -Dan

Hi Everyone, In my latest video I showcase the stunning Tasmanaian wilderness as we finish off our 100km (60 mile) wilderness hike over nine days on the Overland Track. People often ask why I built an "Overland Rig" to then spend so much time on foot. For me, an overland vehicle is just the...

It is - and all the online places that list it that I've contacted come back and say "Oh, actually, we don't have it and can't get it" .. so I think they just have it listed to drive google clicks, but can't actually get that part. -Dan

Hi All, A couple of weeks ago we hopped a ferry down to Tasmnaia - the huge island state that is 40% UNESCO world herritage wilderness and National Park. This place is incredible, and to really kick things off we just spent nine days in the wilderness completely self-supported. I honestly had...

Unfortunately Benny confirmed it's an "export only" part, probably due to the parking sensors and other features my Gladiator has that the North American ones don't (blind spot detect, etc.). Thanks for the help, I'll keep exploring options! -Dan

I'm thinking the same thing. It didn't like my vin at all. but that exact part I was quoted (7BU57DX9AA) does seem to exist in some US places.. -Dan

Thanks, I appreciate it. I sent Benny a message too. The dealer diagnosed my problem and said that was the part number I Need.. but getting it here in Australia is a 3+ month wait, and if I buy it myself it's $1300. So I'm hoping I can just get one directly from the US.. mine has all the...

Huh, Interesting, thanks very much. Do you have any idea why the part numbers change by one like that? "Center Stack" is part number 7BU49DX9AA all the way to 7BU70DX9AA (But skipping a few like you said). To my eye they are all exactly the same thing and vehicle fitment is identical.... do...

Hi All, Does anyone work at a dealer, or have an ability to order a factory part? I need 7BU57DX9AA (It's the The center stack controls directly under the main screen) - and I'm severely getting the run around. If anyone has the ability to get that part and an ETA I will call up and pay with...

Hi all, I've always felt that when looking at an overland vehicle build and trying to learn from it, the actual WHAT of a given modification is not really that helpful. Sure someone decided to add product X, but the really useful bit is WHY they added that - what is the benefit? How does it...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I just drove a couple of the most iconic tracks in the Victorian High Country - and WOW!! Billy Goat's Bluff and Blue Rag Ridge are both ridge line track that go directly up into the alpine and do not disappoint. In my latest video I show you what the stunning scenery looked...
