Building My Grenadier to travel Australia

[FinnH]

Hi everyone, my name is Finn, I have had my Grenadier Trialmaster for 5 weeks and have already done 6000Kms and am building it to do a lap of Australia.
If anyone is from Australia or knows anything about it here, you would know the climate is tough as nails and the terrain just as bad. I will be towing a 3-ton caravan don't be mistaken I'm not going to be nice on my gear everything will be put through its paces and I'll be giving honest updates on the car, caravan, and gear we use.
If you are interested in following along I have just started my car Instagram (still learning what to do) feel free to give it a follow HTTP://www.instagram.com/bjornthegrenadier?igsh=empncHV4YjVuc2k3

Cheers legends,

I think emax meant he has no Insta Account, like me. So we can see nothing.

And I found out today that Wax Converter Textiles the last Australian manufacturer of canvas has gone into Liquidation. Bugger.

Exactly that.

Social media is a waste of time. WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit... whatever. I don't have any of them, and when I see how some people jump to their phones because they have a new WhatsApp message, I feel very comfortable without them (the media ... ). This forum here and my Diesel-motorbike forum is enough for me.

But I'm not complaining: each to their own, that's ok.
