4WD & Touring

America’s father of landscape architecture, designer of Central Park in New York and the U.S. Capitol in Washington DC, Frederick Law Olmsted, once said ‘A park is a work of art, designed to produce certain effects upon the mind of men. The purpose of parks is to provide a feeling of relief experienced by those entering it upon escaping the confined, and controlling circumstances of the streets and town. In other words, a sense of enlarged freedom is to all and at all times the most certain value and gratification afforded by a park.’ Wiser words are seldom spoken, and we think Frederick could have just as easily been speaking about the allure of our expansive Aussie bush and outback.

Is your 4WD not quite the off-road beast you feel like it should be? Do puddles, muddy tracks, hills, canyons and boulders present more than a tantalising challenge? Are you deficient in convenient, labour-saving gadgetry? Would you like a bunch more storage capacity? Might you benefit from a particular embellishment to shield your vehicle from the degrading impacts of the harsh Aussie sun, or to make your journey more pleasurable? Are you eager to improve your ride or handling when carrying a load, or after better anchors to improve your stopping power? Do you want to protect your rig from bumps and scrapes? Is there something you’d like to keep your offspring or significant other a little happier on longer treks?
