Thanks guys.
I didn't get to meet Roothy - although it would be great to. He does a fantastic job and really puts his heart into whatever work he does.
I didn't get to proof-read the article before print. I think it came across generally well. In the story though, Ray is referred to as my brother. He's pretty happy about that!
4WD1 was founded by our director Ray (aka my Dad) at the beginning of the 4WD and off-road recreation boom - way back in 1976. Despite having a face with more lines and ridges than a topographic map, Ray remains at the sharp end of the business; along with my brother John.
What makes a Tough Jeep? Generally anything that increases the underbody and axle ground clearance and approach angles, while increasing the traction, suspension articulation and low-end torque (all while maintaining good stability, function and safety).
How to acheive this is different for everyone. I reckon reliability is an over-looked factor in a Tough Jeep sometimes. Don’t spoil your time away with a highly-accessorised, yet under-serviced vehicle. Generally, vehicle reliability issues are the first consideration to ensure you have safe travels and a good time off-road.
What makes a Tough head? I'll think about that one.
Cheers guys. Have a good weekend.
