While we were at waterpark creek this weekend this thing rolled in! Unreal! It was driven from Germany to Australia via Russia and of course boated from Asia to Northern Australia.

Old mate said only two things bother him, trees and getting bogged. He has two 20000lb winches. One on the front and one on the back.
