Default Outback Challenge: Morocco (Team USA)

First Annual Outback Challenge, Morocco

TEAM PAGE

Driver: Scott Brady (Expeditions West)
Navigator: Nathan Hindman (Pangaea)

European Sponsor: Outback Import, FR

Well, I can finally let the cat out of the bag, I have been selected to represent the USA as team leader and driver for the first annual Outback Challenge, Morocco. I have selected my good friend and experienced world traveler Nathan Hindman to be my navigator.

We leave the 22nd of April and return in mid May.

We will use this thread to record our training and preparations for the event.

Team USA will be driving a specially prepared PZJ73 Land Cruiser, outfitted with ARB Lockers, OME suspension, Bull Bar, Warn Winch, etc.





Nathan and I are both incredibly excited about this event and opportunity. We hope to keep this thread up to date so that you all can experience some of this with us...

I was wondering when we'd here the rest of this story.

Looks like a killer combo of truck, driver, and navigator! Can't wait to read more

another gradulations Scott. That will be a great adventure no doubt.

Couple questions? Have you ever driven a PZJ73 Cruiser?? Where do you guys plan to practice...or is it just a build and run deal?

Have fun!
