Hi from the Pilbara
« on: December 02, 2011, 11:21:19 PM »
Hi everyone, My name is Travis and I live in Wickham, WA. Have just purchased an off-road Red Earth 12ft camper trailer and will be towing it with my 2006 D40 Navara ST-X sporting a 5 inch lift and 285/75R16 tyres along with a few other extras. Have a few plans for the trailer in the near future to set it up for a 5 week trip to the Kimberleys and N.T in September 2012.

Anyway enough from me, to the forums!!

Welcome Trav.  5 inch lift on a Navara,  post some pictures up, it sounds like a bit of a weapon.

Welcome to myswag.  Your  rig no doubt gets a lot of use up there in the Pilbara.  Beautiful country there.  Was at Port Hedland for a bit a while back.  Enjoy this forum, loads of good stuff...   :D
