So you have your 4wd and you are really enjoying the fact that you can "Go Where Only 4WD's Can Go" but have you ever wondered just what makes your truck tick, why it goes and what it does and how all of those moving parts come together to make your vehicle what it is?

Most of all have you ever wondered how you can do simple fixes to get yourself out of trouble and even more importantly what to look for in preventative maintenance before your trip away?

If so, then this is the Aussie of Road course for you.

Come along for the day and bring your truck along so that you can learn all about giving your pride and joy the TLC that it deserves.

 

We will be covering:

  • Pre-trip checks and vehicle inspections.
  • What to look for during your trips.
  • What to look for in, on and around your vehicle during your trips.
  • We will be going into detail on what tools you should and shouldn't be carrying and how to simplify your tool kit so it work for your vehicle.
  • How to repair certain items on your vehicle during the trip.
  • How best to pack your vehicle to minimize vehicle suspension failure and minimize injuries if an accident was to occur.
  • Post trip vehicles checks to make sure that you are ready for the next adventure.

We all get our cars well serviced by the mechanics but they are not with you in remote locations and you can't call the NRMA. Come along and you will drive away feeling alot more comfortable about the workings of your 4WD.

Feel free to ask our Motor Mechanic Ben any questions throughout the day, he will be more than happy to assist any way possible.
