Don't think so. We've been on a trip with them before. they do a variety of easy going family orientated stuff to more hardcore trips. Anyone is welcomd on a trip, nonmembers pay 10 for insurance. couldn't tell you why more of us aren't members or more of them aren't on forums, we've probably all got a different reason. They've got some really knowledgable people and some unique very capable cars.

Was it the previous owner that had that kit on it? You could try contacting them and seeing if they've still got some of it - you never know you're luck!

it had a bullbar and pedders springs, dont know if they were lifted but it has standard on it now. i brought the car from a dealer so i had no idea who the previous was.
i have asked him if he still has any of it so hopefully he does!

I had a read of their online magazine, looks like its well run but a bit behind in appealing to the typical forum user, and internet savvy person.

and $100 isn't too bad for the sort of activities they run (recovery advice days etc). even so, when i ask myself do i need to join a club the answer is no.

a club is a good idea especialy if you dont have other friends that four wheel drive, alot safer going in a group then by yourself

True that. Plus it allows you to run with club rego if they're a vicroads approved club which means cheap rego if it's not your daily drive...

true, for 45-90 days of the year which is more than enough i suppose.

i wouldn't actually go out by myself in one car, but i'd go with a passenger and just take a tirfor/other recovery gear.
