The winners from our Toyota FJ Cruiser competition won a day-long off-roading course with John Eggenhuizen from Get About Training Services.

During their day at the four-wheel drive track next to Sydney's Eastern Creek racetrack, the guys learned about many of the off-roading basics, including the many activities that are best learned via hands-on experience, such as a snatch strap recovery and pre-trip safety checks.
