RICHO'S 79 SERIES

Built tough and ready for anything, Richard’s 79 Series is the ultimate blend of a hardcore track weapon and a weekend camping rig. From crawling up gnarly rock steps to setting up at a remote campsite with a cold beer in hand, this Cruiser does it all.

We’ve put in the work—upgraded suspension, bigger tyres, barwork, and the essentials to survive (and enjoy) the roughest tracks Australia has to offer. It’s not just about looking tough—this thing performs, whether it's climbing out of a bog hole or towing the camper into the high country.

This rig showcases the gear we actually use and trust. If it’s bolted on here, it’s because it works. Check out the links below for our recommended mods and gear—tested, proven, and sometimes broken, so you don’t have to.

ANDY'S 79 SERIES

Andy’s 79 is a no-nonsense workhorse turned trail-blazing beast. It started life hauling tools and towing trailers, but these days it’s more likely to be found tackling sketchy hill climbs and remote bush tracks with the Mud, Mods & Beers crew.

This rig’s been built with reliability and functionality in mind—everything on it serves a purpose. From the solid barwork to the suspension setup that soaks up the punishment, Andy’s 79 is proof you don’t need a flashy build to go hard. It’s a proper example of a tourer that can take a beating and still cruise to camp like nothing happened.

Whether we’re stuck axle-deep in mud or parked up watching the sunset with a beer, Andy’s 79 is always right in the thick of it. Scroll down for links to the gear that’s stood up to our abuse—you’ll only find stuff here that’s been properly field-tested.
