This is a great forum and a whole raft of overland knowledge but for what you are doing I recommend you pay a visit to NENE overland or Foley's and get a full assessment of your journey, kit needed and talk about buying certified vehicles they have in stock or can source for you from the huge LR...
They are right you will have to leave your 2013 there ... HOWEVER! Buy TWO, No! make that THREE Perenties on auction. Make sure one is a 6x6. Bring them over and freaking sell two for the highest price you can. If you are going to leave your baby in Perth, make the storage costs pay for...
This is a good example of getting into the market with niche items that knock off the big expensive items ... I am digging these and for $120 they'd be on one of my trucks. However I'd make attachment point for the owner to put his own wiremesh screen on the backside for bugs and smaller rocks...

This theory and the stopping exports of thefts from the UK (which are crazy!) has been my working assumption since last year when the great CBP anti-Defender Jihad started at the same targeted dealership in NC. This spring I used a highly reputable importer and shipped my Defenders over from...
I have an Eeezi-Awn RTT but the ladder was lost during shipping it back to the USA in my household goods. Apart from bringing a separate ladder do any companies sell replacements here in the USA?
FOR SALE-CANADA OR OUTSIDE THE USA - My wife's daily runner. named "Baby Duck" was one of the two LRs we bought from the royal vehicle stable of Sheikh Maktoum (Royal Family of Dubai). We even have a copy of the Royal Family registration card which comes with the car. It was a hideous Orange...
