Nice trip pictures Andrew
Do you get like a Sherriff's badge when you join the Five Corner Club?

I might even have a few more contenders

Yeah the weather was mostly pretty good and a bit warmer than expected, got a bit windy the last few days and bloody cold once we got south so bolted for home and got home half a day early. Roads were probably a bit better than average, a couple of rough sections but nothing to complain about.

A badge is a great idea there will be a thread on this topic coming soon, just need to sort through some more pictures from this trip and trips past.

Looks like a top trip, a few of the pics bought back memories from a while back for me :-)

Thanks for sharing them.

Cheers,

Nice to see you're still rocking the "enlightened diesel owner" sticker, AJ!

Its starting to peel on a couple of letters but still looks fine so will keep running with it for a while longer

Time for some new boots for the Prado. Having been pretty happy with my three previous sets of BFG's I couldn't pass up going for the new BFG KO2 AT that have recently been released. They have some extra meat on the side walls with the additional side bighters and although in pictures the tread pattern look like the old tires, in reality it has enough subtle changes that should make them better.

Looking forward to testing them out in Tasmania in a few weeks time

Nice, what size? I was going to replace my KO's with D697's but these look like a good upgrade to the KO.

Same as before, 265/70/17's.

addendum

Andrew, how much do you pay AJ Junior to keep the bus so clean?! Its sparkle would put a lot of the "Urban Mums SUV Group" to shame.....you'd never know it had been where it has been!
