Default Anyone here from Western Australia?

Just wondering if there's anyone on the forum from Western Australia(West Oz)?

There's a nice SE D300 with some mods at my local Council buildings, wouldn't mind having a chat one day to ask about what mods you'd get again and not.

There are users from down under and from all over the world, but this is a US-based forum, and a majority of the users are based here in the US.

Glad I'm not alone as an Aussie in this forum. I'm in QLD. No mods as of yet.
EDIT: scratch that, I've got a Rhino Rack roof rack (whistles like hell due to installers failing to put on a piece, but has been great for camping) and am about to install a PowerfulUK bumper protector tomorrow. Also swapped 22" Gloss black wheels for some 20" 5094 Grey Wheels w/ the factory A/T tyres (they went through the sand on Fraser Island like it was a piece of cake).

G'day mate, we must of got the same 'in stock' email as I'm fitting my bumper protector tomorrow as well

What rhino rack is it and is it quiet now? I need something for surfboards but can't stand the noise. I've got the factory 19"s on but will probably go the 18"s when I can, we have really soft beaches and regularly run 10psi in our tyres to get off the beach up steep dune exits straight onto sharp limestone cliffs, not good combos for tyres.

that 110 Ive seen over here has heaps of powerfulUk mods and oem add ons, it's a beast. Just like to have a chinwag with him see what's bonzer (Aussie slang for your amusement US guys)

Good to see some Aussies in the forum. Y'all get all the good OEM options and mods there. Steelies and roo-bar being the obvious ones.

Now, just keep the under-arm deliveries and sandpaper use to a minimum and we'll all get along just fine.

Go Dockers!

Er... yes. Dunno why but all 3 of us have sounded so stereotypically Australian in this thread haha.

If I'm not mistaken I have a Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform with Backbone (quoted from website). I haven't gotten the bit to stop wind noise fitted so I can't tell you if it's good or not. Honestly the noise isn't unbearable though, especially if you have some regular-volume music on with the sunroof shade closed.
