The Cruiser Guy

Technical Expert & Lead Technician at The Cruiser Store

Welcome to the technical heart of The Cruiser Store. While the "big guys" are busy scaling corporate assets for multi-million dollar exits, we’re still in the shed looking at why gear actually fails.

Calling out the "Temu Tier" Junk

We created this space to call out the "Temu Tier" junk flooding the Australian 4WD market. If you’ve seen the sagging, unlevel cup holders or the brittle plastic armrests that melt in the Pilbara, you know exactly what we’re talking about.

At CruiserStore.au, we only stock gear for the 70 Series, 200 Series, and Prado that survives the corrugations of the Oodnadatta Track.

NO SCRIPTS. NO "THE". NO CRAP.

Just the honest truth on what belongs in your rig and what belongs in the bin.
