TERRAIN Tamer's most recent video 'Terrain Tamer Goes

Mustering' is now available to view on their website.

The series stars Allan Gray, Terrain Tamer's 84-year-old head mechanic, known throughout the four-wheel-driving community after appearing in more than 100 educationa­l videos for the brand over the past 11 years.

In this series, Allan is joined by his nephew Andrew, a wise cracking diesel mechanic, and Jess, a truly quintessen­tial country girl who is always ready for an adventure.

Better known as Jillaroo Jess, Jess has worked as a station hand and road train driver in the top end of Australia, and enlisted Allan and Andrew's help to turn an old 40 series Toyota Landcruise­r into a bullet-proof bull buggy for a mustering job in Queensland's Mt Isa.

With a list of tests to be done, improvemen­ts to be made and Terrain Tamer parts to be fitted, the team leave the city in the rearview mirror to spend a fortnight in an old shed 60km North-West of Mt Isa town centre, taking on the challenge of creating 'Blue Steel', a buggy that is sure to last the rugged terrain and get Jess from one end of the vast property to the other.

With mustering season upon us, the gang are geared up and ready for the test! Terrain Tamer Goes Mustering is available to view now.

Visit terraintam­er.tv to watch the series and see the result.
