    #108 - RASLARR ENGINEERING

    2026/10/11 | 1h 11 mins.
    Rod Paterson is the owner of Raslarr Engineering, a 4WD accessory fabrication business based in Victoria, Australia.

    In Rob's own words, Raslarr started as 'a lone wolf in his driveway, armed with a welder and a can-do attitude'. No job too big, no nut too stubborn – Rob was the go-to guy for all things 4WD.

    Since 2007, the business has evolved to become a widely-recognised and respected brand in the Australian 4x4 accessory industry - manufacturing Australian Made, high-quality bullbars, rear bars and sliders, and cutting cars into custom single and dual cabs.

    Tony and Rob chat about how Rob first got started in the 4WD game, the challenges of running a manufacturing business in Australia and competing with cheap Chinese imports, the rise in popularity of American pickup trucks, and heaps more.

    2026/09/13 | 1h 3 mins.
    Peter Lea-Smith, better known to most as 'Pete from Ultimate9' is a bloke who has spent his whole life in and around 4WDs.

    In this episode, Pete and Tony have a great chat about Pete's lifelong love of 4x4 vehicles and the adventures they enable - from early memories in the NSW outback with his Dad in their LandCruiser Troopy, to winch truck racing in a highly modified Range Rover, his ongoing obsession with GQ and GU Nissan Patrols, and his extensive travels with the boys from 4WD 24/7.

    It took a long time to convince Pete to come on the podcast, so please show this episode some love!
