01Our story
DownThunder started in Brisbane in 2013, with one idea: there were plenty of helpful 4x4 forums and clubs, but no single place where you could see every sort of make and model and, at the same time, the depth of what owners had done to them.
So we built one: member rigs with their mods, a forum, places to camp and drive, and the parts people actually fitted.
02Why it matters
Tracks close, parks lock up, and modified 4WDs get more attention than ever. A lot of that comes from people not knowing what we do out there.
The more of it we show, done well and done responsibly, the better the case for keeping the tracks open.
03What’s here
Everything you need for the next trip or the next mod, in one place.
04It’s yours
DownThunder is only as good as what its members share. Add your rig, review the parts you’ve fitted, tell others about the campsite you found. Every bit earns you Gears, and helps the next person on the track.
Offroaders never choose the easy path. We don’t avoid obstacles, we look for them to overcome together. If we chose an easy life we’d choose tarmac over mud and gravel, sleep in hotels not swags, and order pizza instead of cooking our steak over a campfire.
So stay off the beaten track, and come join us.
