Brilliant photos and video! Love seeing the Defender overlanding. Do you have an Instagram account? I'd love to see more pics.

I enjoyed your video - I can see why you all have roof top tents! What an atmosphere.

A great fan of Compomotives, pity they did not provide an ADR certification route for Oz
P400/D300 models (rear caliper swap)

What was the largest tyre diameter Bruce you managed ? I know some on the Oz owner
FB groups thought the ET44 compos would limit it to 255.

Where you able to fit larger? yet another pommie bar steward down under

in Africa I don't think they can spell ADR fortunately Smile

I fitted 275 65 R18. They are exactly the same diameter as the standard 20 inch tyres. "Overlanding With Bruce" - Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@OverlandingwithBruce
