Our Set Up
After many years of travel experience under our belts, we simply cannot stress the importance of having a well set up and reliable travel rig. In particular, outback conditions are known to be incredibly harsh, unforgiving, and unpredictable, making preparation absolutely vital for our safety and peace of mind.
If you're considering embarking on an adventure, here are some essential items and modifications that have proven invaluable for us.
Our Car - eLCie
Following our recent adventures through the remote outback, it became clear why Toyota stands out among other 4x4 vehicles. Their unmatched reliability, exceptional towing power, and easy access to parts and repairs— even in the most isolated locations— made our decision simple. Choosing to invest in the Toyota LC 300 Series VX 4x4 was a no-brainer.
