hey fellas, i got about 20 days left til i head down to Florida then in September/October Big Tundy and I are heading to the Outback for some 4x4 fun, sucks cause i will be the only tundra in Australia. Not this weekend but the first week it it even looks decent for Hatteras i am heading out, anyone with me on this? I am thinking a Friday-Sunday type of adventure, friday would be the day i get registered for Hatty. Let me know fellas, i know we're all to busy modding, etc. but a trip like that would be sick. Beach cut off day is the 30th and i leave VA on the 25th.

From what i was reading they close up the Beach on the 30th of April because the weather warms up and people will be on it. LOL

No, but i know will be investing in a 4 wheeler, so i can just pull up to town, and use the 4 wheeler all around and about.

What's it going to cost to ship the Tundra to Australia?

Fortunately The Government Pays me and Ships it for me, I know it has to be Trucks across the country, shipped across the Pacific, and then a train ride from sydney to Alice Springs

Your going to love Alice. At least you can get a hope with AF to Sydney and Christchurch when you want. Have fun and take extra tires, they have a lot of "3 flat roads" around there. Fuel will be very dear. Take extra cans and water containers if you plan to travel.

Well, I imagine they have the Internet Down Under. You can tell us stories about wheeling in the Outback.

They should have the filters available locally,possibly through Lexus (LX570 and/or new Landcruiser)

Who knows,I may run into you while you're there Mike,I might move there in a few years.
