A big shoutout to our long-time sponsors, Whistle 'n' Soot!

These guys have been backing the Long Drive for Drought for several years now, and we’re so grateful to have their continued support year after year.

They’re always incredibly generous, getting behind what we do and donating some seriously cool products for us to raffle along the way!

It’s sponsors like Whistle & Soot who continue to make the Long Drive possible, and we can’t thank them enough for sticking with us and supporting the cause.

Make sure you check them out and show some love to a business that continues to show plenty of love to LDFD!

Full details below or check out Mr Landcruiser’s website.

The grey split rim is just as synonymous with the Landcruiser as any other striking feature of these iconic vehicles. The utility of the split rim may have fallen away in favour of more practical designs over the years, but that has never taken away from the striking aesthetic shape of the ‘splitty’.

These single-piece, solid rim replicas are finished in a OME Toyota Grey powder coat and have been manufactured to recreate the form and style of the O.E split rim without the headache or potential danger associated with changing inner tubes.

The rims come equipped with the factory style clips to allow the fitment of genuine hub caps (also available from our store) or they can be remove if you’re after a simpler visual.

This wider version of the split rim maintains the original equipment atheistic whilst allowing for a much larger selection of tyres over the original 5.5″ wide design, the 7″ wide rim is available in a -25 offset

A huge thank you to Blooms The Chemist - Kingaroy for supporting the Long Drive for Drought! 💙

With plenty of kilometres, dusty roads and old rigs involved, it’s always important to be prepared for whatever the trip throws our way. Blooms The Chemist made sure we were covered by generously supplying every participant with their very own first aid bag for the journey. 🙌

It’s thoughtful support like this that makes such a difference to our event and helps us keep everyone safe while we’re out on the road raising funds and awareness for rural communities doing it tough.

We’re incredibly grateful to have Blooms The Chemist behind the Long Drive for Drought. Thank you for helping us hit the road prepared!
