4WDTRIP For your 4x4 Clubs
Over the past 12 months, we have had a lot of enquiries from clubs who are interested in using the 4WDTRIP Platform to help run their trips. 4WDTRIP can provide an easy and better way for your clubs or organisations to organise, manage and run your trips. It also helps you promote your clubs and attract more members. We are now looking for clubs who would like to trial our platform.

We recommend SPOT Gen3 (Satellite GPS Messenger)
Have you ever tried to reach your family and let them know you are safe and sound but you can’t as you are not in mobile reception area? Do you go to remote areas - even just the High Country - but are concerned about what happens if there is an emergency? Do you travel alone and ever wonder what if your vehicle breaks down and needs assistance?
SPOT is a handheld satellite locator and messenger. It allows you to track a journey, “check-in” so your friends and family know where you are and you are OK, call for help in non-emergency situation (breakdown), or send an SOS message in the event of a life-threatening emergency.
It’s a great alternatively to Sat Phone which can be costly and hard to use. I have been using SPOT in the past 16 months and it’s definitely invaluable.
You can purchase SPOT from our 4WDTRIP Shop

4WD Mega Muster
4WDTRIP took part in the 4WD Mega Muster 2017, a world record attempt to have the largest number of 4wds in one place. It was a great event with so many things to see and do, including the airing of the movie of “Rough Stuff”, Live band music, Show n Shine and Outback Challenge Trucks on display. Although the final number of vehicles did not meet the world record, it has proven that it can be done with little bit more time and help from everyone. We are looking forward to being involved again next year.
Filming
It's been a busy year so far for the 4wdtrip team, starting our filming sessions off with a bang - and some winching (mostly of an FJ...) - of some of the hardest tracks near to Melbourne. So far we have filmed The Ladder at Mt Disappointment, Rocky Track in Toolangi, Joe's Spur Track in Narbethong, Woods Lookout Track near Marysville and Alcorns Track at Cobaw. We still have several to go including next month's trip to the Pyrenees to film Old Bluff Track. The video will be produced later this year and promises to feature some incredible driving on some seriously tough terrain.
