Title: Time for the lurkers to post!
Post by: scarps on April 18, 2014, 06:25:55 AM
I've noticed that there's quite a few regulars on the forum never lost for words (myself included), but many will be away for the Easter break, so..........
If you're one of the 14,346 lurkers out there that haven't posted yet, haven't posted for a while, or not sure what to say, here's your chance.

Tell us what you're up to, where you've been, where you're heading, what 4wd or camping modifications you've done, or even just say 'Hi'.

Be great to hear from you:-)

Is that fair though, to say, someone that has made maybe 55 or 60 posts?  ;D

Those who have more than 50 posts.... I stay, we need to stand up for our rights here.

Don't let Scarps try to hold you back, or worse still, down. Fight I say, let the blood be spilt.

I'd love to stay and talk some more, but I have 4 days of boating to do and I've still got an esky to fill, so see ya  :cheers:

I lurk and know a few current members but waste most my time over on newtriton ;D

The 4wdriving I tend to do is more the harder stuff available as I love to embarrass the toyota and nissans and get out camping as much as I can. I have every setup ready to go at the drop of a hat, swag for me, camper for the family and newest addition is a rooftop tent trailer for that quick, easy get away ;D

Will get around to doing a build thread one day on the rooftop build as my inspiration came from a similar build on here last year sometime.

Anyway happy Easter to all and safe and happy travels  :cheers:

Triton and harder 4wdriving? The only reason it's harder is because you don't drive a Nissan ;D


Looks like a great setup that you have going there.

Haven't posted for a while, not as active on the camping scene as a lot of others....

Would have loved to return to the Murray for some Easter camping, but alas, it wasn't to be.

We are heading to South Gippsland, near Foster for the ANZAC long weekend though.

Now just to make it through the Easter weekend and 3 days of work....

Well back from spending the past week and a half in the High Country, the weather cleared in the end and got some good shots coming down off Blue Rag.  Now is the crappy part, time to clean the Prado, camper and all the gear!

Post by: Homerj on April 18, 2014, 09:01:00 AM
I've been lurking for some time now.  If this was Facebook it would be called stalking.  I'm working all of Easter and Anzac weekend but after that I have three weeks leave when everyone else is back at work, so hopefully I'll have the high country or the Victorian desert parks to myself!  I'm still tossing up which way to go. 

No trailer yet, but I spend alot of time on here finding out what I should and shouldn't do before I jump in and buy one.   Until then it's the swag.

We just like to great each other. More contributions the better. You may think you have not much to add but if everyone added just a tiny itty bitty bit it will add up to a lot!!

I lurked for a while but now I think I might be addicted.

Guilty as charged :police:
I've been lurking for a while checking out the custom built trailers, pinching a few ideas to use when I finally get around to building my own.
Currently have a PMX tent top sitting on a heavy 7x5 offroad trailer, but the trailer is too wide for my liking.
So anyway, I'm Steve, hello everyone.....

Hey Garfish, I work near Collie in WA where there are a lot of people who head to our neck of the woods for camping and skiing as we have a few old coal mines that are now ski areas and some good parts of the bush to camp in.

Hey guys, still trying to figure all the posts out and will put up some photos when I do.  The MUX got a cargo barrier yesterday and thanks to the guys at Autosafe Boronia who custom fitted it for me to fit in with the rear row of seats removed.  I know they got some measurements that help them but it was done at no charge and I am stoked with the result.  Great customer service.  Now to move on to the false floor, fridge slide and drawers.  Its also going to Boronia autoelecs next week for a measure up for the brake controller, Anderson plug etc.    :laugh:

I may have posted twice - hope the photo works this time.

So this is our first night in our camper trailer.  I'm under 50 posts but I've been in here about a month!  The bright led's are from bright led tech, a tip I picked up from someone's post on here.  I can't believe how good they are. We have 240 volt power here but these leds are fantastic with all the attachments and splitters/switches and magnets too sick to spreader poles

Well, it's been a very very long time coming, but better late than never right?

Not going away this Easter due to the joys of shift work (both the better half and I are shift workers). Instead, it's a quiet weekend at home enjoying the good weather and dreaming about the next getaway......

Hopefully the break between this and the next post won't be quite so long!

But all that aside, I'm at home, we didn't go away to Esperance for Easter. :(

Hi! Sold my last camper, looking into building myself a 4x4 boat trailer/camper sometime next year in preparation for a Cape trip in 2016. I like the land and sea one but not the price tag. Will probably end up with a boat trailer, couple of 80ltr water tanks, spots for 4 jerry cans and maybe a slide/swing out kitchen.

Im a lurker and proud of it.
The princess and I were on our way to Cape York this year. Then I read an advert on the Workabout Australia site. Two weeks later we go to Batemans Bay Holiday Park do a 3 week live in work experience course. Before the course is finished we are offered jobs as assistant managers at Dubbo City Holiday Park. Started there on 3rd April and love every minute of it. We can always go to the Cape next year, I hope. The point of this story is Im sure I read about Workabout Australia on this forum. So it could be said MySwag has changed our lives.

Triton and harder 4wdriving? The only reason it's harder is because you don't drive a Nissan ;D


Looks like a great setup that you have going there.
if you are really serious about hard 4wd you would have a landie...

Hi scarps....I read through your trackabout thread today..again.  Ive been spending a lot of time reading up on different brands of campers...and keep coming back to the trackabout.   I just love things that are well made and my recent visit to their factory confirmed this.  Its just a waiting game now..saving the pennies.   ;D Cheers Greg.

yes iam a lurker, never really thought that i could get any kind of a tag accessing a forum,any way i have been called a lot worse.yes jamie its true you do get to meat some nice people on forums and i was lucky enough to meat some at nymboida,and you do bite, just a little.home today worked sat and sun.Just bought my self a 16year old ozzieswag great small camper,easy setup for one the 12ft soft floor isnt getting any easier to set up on my own,the easier set up and pack up will entice managment to get away as well.I couldnt bring myself to buy a new non australian camper,new ones were a bit more money but i think this will still be around in afew more years.I would have liked to buy a cape york or later model quality hard floors but for the money iam very happy, heading of with the kyak now for some fish feedind. You may be thinking now i wish this dribbler would go back to lurking be careful what you wish for mark.

Hmmm I better put my hand up...  :-[
I tend to lurk and search for any info I need. Do the same on other forums I frequent (4x4Earth, Pajero Club, Overclockers), but try and contribute where I can. I do enjoy having a perve at all the various trailers on here tho, especially the custom setups!
No camper just yet, have plans on modifying a box trailer but the Mrs and I just got married a month ago so money has been "prioritised", hopefully the trailer gets bumped up later this year.
We try and head out every couple of months on forum trips or with Triple Diamond 4wd Club in the NT Paj with our kids and it's usually the oztent affair, going try our luck with swags soon.
Didn't go away this Easter, heading off to Hawaii on Tuesday without the kids! Will be rather interesting...

Another lurker comes out of the closet.

Was going to post in the joke section as I have a 2006 TJ Wrangler.  By the time a swag, esky and recovery gear for Tritons Cruisers and Patrols are in the back, it  is full.  So a camper is the plan but weight is the problem.  Really like the look of the UEV 330 so one day that might be the go.  Everything else sounds too heavy.

I have stopped spending money on the Ducati (93 900SS) - I think - but a 76 Torana is holding it's hand out for it's overdue share of love.  And I have to figure out what to do with the 66 Ducati 250 Scrambler and a now 30 year old Honda VF1000R.

But one day a camper will appear.

Somerset - just west of Burnie.  Gateway to the west coast with fine sunny day roads and wet weather mud.  The Arthur River and the central highland lakes aren't far away- I need to spend a bit more time fishing.  3 or 4 years and I might be able to afford to not do shift work and catch up on 30 years of lost sleep and do leisure activities.

Hey guys, still trying to figure all the posts out and will put up some photos when I do.  The MUX got a cargo barrier yesterday and thanks to the guys at Autosafe Boronia who custom fitted it for me to fit in with the rear row of seats removed.  I know they got some measurements that help them but it was done at no charge and I am stoked with the result.  Great customer service.  Now to move on to the false floor, fridge slide and drawers.  Its also going to Boronia autoelecs next week for a measure up for the brake controller, Anderson plug etc.    :laugh:

I may have posted twice - hope the photo works this time.

Gday mate, were the seats easy enough to remove? Do you have any pics of what the area looks like after the removal? Wifey picks her LS-T up on the 31st may.

Cheers.

G'day. I guess I have been lurking for way too long, there is just so much stuff to read on here I keep getting sidetracked!

I spent the weekend, with most of Victoria, at the Vic High Country. We camp on Brocks Road near where it crosses the Jameson to try to avoid the crowds a bit but the drive home was a shocker! Other than a bit of rain and seeing some poor bloke with a cruiser on the back of a tow truck it was an awesome few days.

After recently purchasing a second hand Kimberley we are in the process of organising a trip to the Gibb River road in the middle of the year. I am always amazed at the amount of info that can be found here and it has helped us out no end!

Cheers

Thanks mate, she's a nice package I'm pretty happy with it ;D

I've been using a Mac app 'Resizo' it doesn't have the option of sharpening its just for resizing, I'll have to look for something else I think.

G'day guys.

Have been "lurking" for a bit doing some research, checking the classifieds etc. pleased to say 2 days ago we put a deposit on a 2009 ModCon Solution Rear Fold with the extended tent. Could not be happier as we've been searching for one for ages.

I work away at sea 5 weeks on 5 weeks off and not due home for another week. Then we jet off to Bali for 10 days and come home and pick up the the camper which is in Brissy but we pick it up from Coffs / Nambucca Heads area as the current owners have been kind enough to offer to meet us halfway and show us how it sets up etc.

Hopefully this is just the beginning.

Got plenty of questions in regards to power solutions at the moment. Mainly vehicle dual battery systems running to rear Anderson to charge camper dual batteries (already fitted).

Cheers

Kyle
