DMW might not have started out as an acronym for Dirty Muddy Weekends… but the name sure fits. In this cracking ep we talk to Reuben, founder of DMW, about how he got his start doing epic chops, conversions, and GMV upgrades. It’s a wide-ranging chat about favourite builds, favourite camping spots, mental health, the difficulties of being a boss, and all the crazy hoops you have to jump through for regulation in this country. Which leads to electric vehicles, Elon Musk, Johnny Depp, and implanting chips into people’s brains. This episode has got it all!

The Harder You Work, the Luckier You Get, with Clay Taylor from Method Race Wheels Australia joins us for an epic, freewheeling chat about everything from the lucky break at a US racing event that led to them importing the first Method Race Wheels into Australia, to how he kept his kids grounded by making em sell leftover zip ties to Rod Nash to earn themselves new tyres. This ep’s about wheels as you’d expect, but it’s also about motorsport, the importance of sponsorship, the role of fathers —and how to avoid raising a generation of soft kids.

My pronouns are ‘Toy’ and ‘Ota’, featuring Barney Lewis from Built4Offroad and Legendex.
Today’s guest is a legend in the 4WD scene, Barney Lewis from Built4Offroad. We chat about his path to where he is today, from family business Genie Performance, through to starting Legendex and Built4OffRoad —and what it’s like to go from making DVDs to having 2 million views on a clip you thought might be seen by 10 people. We talk about the best platforms to build off and the ultimate vehicles to get out and see this great country of ours. We return to a favourite topic of our top places to tour, what makes Tassie so epic, and why you can never talk about what happens at camp after dark. We also dig in on the influx of Rams and Chevys, pitch the 200 against the 300, and find out that Barney would sell both his dogs and a couple of children for a Tundra. And of course, we have opinions on electric cars to discuss. Let’s get into it.

In the first episode of The Wild Cast, we crack open a beer and shoot the breeze with Darren, owner of The Little Rig and his new venture, the Little Rig Shop.
We did a bonnet for another zoom that Daz saw and that’s why he reached out to me here at Wild Side Garage, but the list of mods Darren has done on this epic Jimny go way back and just keeps coming, including at least 4 different lift kits, the eternal quest for bigger tyres, and a ‘terrible day’ crash that forced the chop.
We talk favourite 4WD tracks, and how his efforts to just do some awesome touring and camping where you don’t break anything often get derailed by an itch that can only be scratched by some gnarly rock-crawling. And of course, we talk about bonnets, what keeps us going, and my favourite builds of all time. Let’s get into it.
