Welcome to the forum!

Ours is set up for touring, either with or without the caravan. Depending on destination, I change the load to include/exclude things like a portable oven, gas or charcoal BBQ, fridge, recovery gear, tools, generator, spare diesel, chainsaw - as I said, it depends where we're going.

So, what kind of touring did you have in mind?

Hi and welcome too the forum.
I have mine set up as a tourer/serious 4x4, I have a canopy with a set of draws with lots of goodies packed in, fridges and esky, but I have a 2" lift, 30mm body lift and 285/75/16 Mickey Thompson's, with snorkel and bulbar on the way.
Hope you enjoy the forum

Hi Every one.

@ Old.Tony: I am looking starting a doing a few little weekender trips around WA atm. Esperance, Pemberton, Wedge Island etc. Once i get a bit of time and experience under my belt, i would love to head back to Tassie to explore the west coast. I did a few little trips about 8 yrs ago with a mate who had a D21 cab chassi 4x4. I had so much fun too. My ultimate goal is to do the Canning Stock Route. For now i am just aiming to do as much as i can with just my D22 STR, but later on down the track i want to buy an off road camper.

You'll be getting the idea by now that setting up a tourer will depend on personal preferences and destinations. Apart from a few basics (snorkel, intercooler, compressor etc) we can only tell you what we use. You'll need to head bush a few times & see what you use or don't use, wish you had or wish you'd left behind. Its best to head out with mates - check out what they carry. And if you camp near some one else, head over and say hello - and also see what gear they have & why?

Also - a big +1 on the west coast of Tassie. By foot, by boat, or by 4x4 - its a freakin wonderland.
