Gday Guys and Girls
G'day everyone
well i thought i better introduce myself, Names Paul.
and the dogs name is Smokie (Pure Bred Kelpie)
Im from Eucla WA which is 12km inside the border of SA/WA but originally from Coffs Harbour NSW
Well i drive a 2010 Nissan Navara that has the usuals - UHF, Dual Battery, HID Lightforce Spots, Codan HF and auto tune etc
Towing behind, is a Jayco Penguin Outback offroader, she has good clearance and a lot more easier to set up than my old camper trailer was, at the moment it has the usuals but also will be making some big changers shortly.
I camp out as much as i can, but being so lucky to live in one of the most remote locations in WA it is hard to find anything to compare..
The best camping and travelling experience i have had so far is the Anne Bedall Hwy i done back in 07 since i was paid to do it and also it is just a great trip all round....
I will have some pics up soon of my set up and look forward to meeting some people when they are travelling through my town.....

Hi Paul,
ok i understand that iv only got a 2" lift on car and van
and bfg a/t on both i like the 3 ply sidewalls 16" on the patrol and 15" on the van a good solid tyre not the cheapest but i think the best

Re: Gday Guys and Girls
yes some people on this forum would know me as TurboGQ, which i have now parted with much regret but has its new home in Perth,,, Below is a pic.....

As i do miss my old patrol, there is nothing like a 145kw 2.5L turbo diesel to tow the camper with.... so i will be buying another patrol sometime when the right one comes up but until then,,, the navara is a great vehicle and comfortable to travel in.....
