I spent fifteen years working on trucks and 4WDs across regional Queensland and Western Australia — everything from fleet utes running thousand-kilometre weekly loops to family LandCruisers that had crossed the Simpson Desert more times than I could count. What I kept seeing, year after year, was the same preventable financial damage: good people buying the wrong vehicle because every review they'd read was backed by someone with a financial interest in the sale. I started writing down what I'd actually seen on the lift — which engines failed, which ones didn't, which brands' parts cost a fortune, and which ran for thirty years on basic servicing. Bush Basics started as a notebook I kept for friends who were about to make a big purchase. When those same friends started sending their mates to me, I knew it had to become a book.
I've had the same conversation hundreds of times. Someone walks into a dealership knowing roughly what they want, gets talked into something 'better,' signs on a payment they can just-about manage, and twelve months later they're sitting across from a service bill that makes no sense — for a vehicle that was supposed to be reliable. The information that would have protected them wasn't hidden. It just wasn't packaged in a way that was easy to use before signing anything. That's what these three books are. Not theory. Not averages from consumer surveys. Specific vehicles, specific engines, specific failure modes, and the financial logic behind every recommendation. If you're reading this, you're already the kind of person who does their research. I wrote this so that research actually leads somewhere useful.
