Pointers,
I am planning on attending the PradoPoint GTG in Alice Springs next (the following) July. There is a lot I can handle on my end, but some help "down there" may be needed.
1) I have an estimate to send the FJ from Los Angeles to Melbourne and they can import the the vehicle back, but they are unable to secure shipping. I need some estimates on container shipping the FJ from Melbourne to Los Angeles or (preferably) Baltimore, MD, USA. I am able to send for less than $2,000 US, and was hoping I can get the same back up. If it is a 2 car container I may be able to get a friend that has the same sense of adventure that can join me. For estimate reasons the vehicle is a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser.
2) I need some form of OZ insurance. My insurance stops at 50 miles outside the US, so I need something to satisfy the lienholder (Toyota Financial USA). I can go to Lloyd's of London, but the cost is astonishing.
3) My in dash GPS unit will not work in OZ (neither will the radio or satellite radio). I either need a GPS disc for an eclipse AVN with Australian maps, or need to borrow a local GPS unit. < Piracy not condoned on this forum>
4) I want to visit the guy's at ARB in Melbourne. Is there anyone that has a contact there that can secure a meet up. I know some of them have seen pics of my rig, but it would be COo.oOL to meet some of the guy's there and let them crawl around it.
and most important.....
5) I need some PradoPointers to wheel with on the way back from Alice Springs. I would like to get on the Simpson Desert run on the way back to Melbourne.
I will probably add more things I need help with later, but this is what I can think of now.
Thank you everyone,
