Free to join. No payment, no obligation — the waitlist simply means you're told first when tickets go on sale.

The reveal

Nobody has seen the finished vehicle. Not the sponsors, not the crew who aren't in the workshop, nobody. It stays under a cover until the moment below.

How it works

Everything here is straightforward, and it happens in this order.

  1. Now — join the waitlist

    Free. Name and email only. You are not buying anything and you are not committing to anything. It exists so we can tell you the moment tickets go on sale.

  2. 21 August 2026 — the reveal

    The vehicle is unveiled at the National 4x4 Outdoors Show in Melbourne, on the Ironman 4x4 stand.

  3. 8 December 2026 — tickets go on sale

    Tickets are sold through a licensed ticketing platform that handles the regulated sale and the draw. Everyone on the waitlist is notified first.

  4. March 2027 — the draw

    The LandCruiser is given away at the Release The Kraken Festival, under the conditions of our raffle permits.

Why we're doing it

Too many of the blokes in our world are struggling quietly. In the workshop, on the tracks, at the meets — everyone's fine until suddenly they're not. This build is our way of putting real money behind that, and of getting people talking about it in a place where they usually don't.

All profits from this giveaway go to Beyond Blue.

If you're in immediate danger, call 000.

The businesses behind it

This vehicle exists because more than 35 Australian companies donated parts, labour and time to it. None of them were paid to be involved.
