  • 2018 Brisbane 4x4 Expo

    Unless you've been hiding under a rock (or don't live in SE Queensland) you'll have heard of the upcoming expo this weekend. It's going to be held at the RNA showgrounds and should be a fantastic oppotunity to see products in the flesh, get some new ideas on accessories, and most importantly score barginzzzzz on expensive stuff that suddenly becomes less so.

    I started this thread to see who's going (EDIT: I will be going on Sunday now for maximum bargainz) and see what people are most looking foward to seeing and possibly buying.

    My purchase list will hopefully include the following:

    -9500lb Winch (thinking Runva or Smittybilt)
    -Rhino rack (still torn between 1900 and 2100 long)
    -Some Electrical items that I need, inverters etc.
    -A Drifta Bunker tent or similar.
    -Snorkle


    Here's a link to the main site where tickets can be purchased (they've got the usual arrangement with QR to give free transport to ticket buyers, so that's pretty cool):
    https://4x4show.com.au/brisbane/

    I've attached a link that goes to catalogue of their advertised specials pre show here: https://4x4show.com.au/brisbane/bargain-hunters-guide/

    (I've got no ties with any organisation, or the even itself- I just thought it'd be cool to let people know if they didn't, and share some ideas etc.)

        Haha mate, you send me the cash and the parcel will "be straight in the mail"

        Mbc, I might see you there mate- Looking at getting a snorkle and noticed you guys make one, how does it stack up against a Safari.

          Go a 2100 on the platform. If you have a snorkel, then you will not hear anything. Even without the Snorkel (that came later) I could barely hear the rack. And even if you don't use that 1.5kg or so worth of extra room room (I guess the only downside I can think of), it's nice to have it. And some have been saying it overhangs your window - it doesn't, hence the photo.

          Maybe it's worth laying out on a floor what you intend to put up there? I put a green box flogged from work full of sleeping bags & light stuff, a longish tent, a gas bottle and a spare (6th) wheel/tyre. That's pushing all the room I have on the 2138mm

            Thanks mate, looks like the 2100 is the go. I'm thinking of the usual suspects, awning, probably a rooftop tent (I'm 2.0m tall so I would really like that extra length). As well as the ability to just tie stuff down to it as required- Jerry cans, boxes and possibly a tyre (obviously not at the same time as the tent haha). I'd also like to hang a lightbar off the front of it- I've seen that those work really well with the spread that can be obtained from them.

              Hope to put an order in for the new TJM Bullbar... I've been told a fully decked out Prado 150 will be on display on the TJM stand.
              Cheers, Leon

                Just putting it out there - there's 25% off Rhino stuff at AutoBarn this weekend. Usually it's only if they have it in stock, but;

                1. Often AutoOne follows suit - just ask them to price match if they have it in stock and they will (how I got mine)
                2. The bits and pieces (roller bars, tie down rings, ratchet straps, holders for wheels, jerry cans that the like - are all bloody expensive - easily can run to $350 or more. This is the time to get that stuff.

                At least - that's NSW and ACT. If it's not QLD then I'd be surprised. More often than not, the 25% off is also on-line, but they have far fewer items they sell on line (eg, no Jerry can holder, Gas bottle holder, Wheel holder, roller bars etc...)

                    The sale is on in QLD as well. I got my rack in a similar sale and they were happy to order in as was not in stock.

                            Be sure to grab lots of photos for us Snaga!
                            I'm evaluating options for the 2018 150 now too. Still haven't heard anything definitive about shadows from the headlights from the bars, or interference with the radar cruise....

                            Thanks!
