Roothy always gets shivers down his spine when he thinks back to the last trip to Tasmania! Yet, never being one to let his fears get in the way of some good 4WD action, this month he once again teams up with local 4WD gurus Pete Holman and Brian Imlach for a trip through the Apple Isle. Rather than putting Milo through the same punishment as last time, though, it was a change of scenery as both Roothy and Milo were treated to one of the best beach drives they've ever been on. It was a good opportunity to play in the sand dunes and to see just how airborne Pete could get his V8 80 Series. In the custom department, we've got three totally different trucks for you to feast your eyes on. It all starts with what could only be described as the Swiss Army Knife of 4WD vehicles, the Earthroamer Jeep. It's not only a very capable truck off-road, but also features almost every option known to man. The next feature 4WD, an orange 75 Series, isn't used in 4WD competitions, but it is one hell of a weapon. Featuring a full exo-cage, y8 power and 37in rubber, not much stops it off-road. And last but not least, our cameraman Watto gets his 15 seconds of fame to show off his top late-model HiLux dual cab. Around the office he's known as 'The Gadget Man', and once you've seen his car, you'll understand why. In the tech department, Allan Gray and apprentice Roothy change the suspension in the red truck, then the 80 Series build-up gets really serious with the fitting of a pair of ARB Air Lockers. Australian 4WD Action - it's like a four-course dinner. Extremely filling, yet somehow you'll end up going back for seconds!
