    Default Goin to Oz...

    Australia that is... It's a company trip to meet with a number of my clients in Sydney, Melbourne, & Canberra! Will be trying hard to get a set of 3.15:1 xcase gears if I can swing the finances. Will also try and visit one of the many ARB stores. We'll see...

    Cool. When do you arrive in Sydney? We have not had a Sydney Expo Portal meetup yet so maybe its now a good time. Got space to bring a set of seat covers over? :-)

    If you get a chance to sit behind the wheel of a rig that can hit a trail or two, it sounds like you'll be near the Snowy Mts. (great trails).
    If you have some extra time, I would suggest the mts. around Victoria (beautiful area).
    I spent a half a year driving around Oz. in the '90's, east to west, and back again...(my brother has a place on the west coast-duel citizenship).
    No matter what you do, you'll have a blast...great people, wonderful country!

    Seat covers from the US? I was hoping to get a good set in Oz... A meetup in Sydney may just be doable. Will lit you know once the itinerary is set.
