Hey everyone. Thought I would share some pictures from a week long Fraser Island trip that I just got back from. Had two Bajas and my Baja bus, plus a few waterboilers.
Happy to say that the bus went everywhere on the island and did all of the hard tracks. Was very impressed with how it performed.


On the barge.

What a super cool ride, thank you for the pictures. Kinda like that roof rack on the blue Baja.

It's a Toyota Prado Rack. Can't remember if it's a 90 series or 120. He got it to hold the rooftop tent for the Cape Trip we did last year.

I like that seemingly soft sand two track through scrub brush. Very nice country. Thanks for sharing.

Also,i am liking that roof rack on the blue buggy, I have been contemplating something similar. (Edit- hehe. Just saw leather commented on the rack, too)

I was going to comment also on the rack on the blue buggy, but Leather beat me to it
