Ronny Dahl

For a lot of Aussies, Ronny Dahl is the bloke who made four-wheel driving feel accessible. He cut his teeth on WA trips and started sharing practical tips, real-world track notes, and camp wisdom years before “overlanding” became a buzzword. His 4 Wheeling Australia platform has been running since 2012, building a huge library of trips, how-tos, and gear lessons that help new drivers and seasoned tourers alike. 

What sets Ronny apart is how he teaches. It’s clear, field-tested, and filmed where it counts – in the scrub, on the rocks, or knee-deep in a water crossing. His well-known “Modified” vehicle walk-throughs and recovery deep dives have become a reference point for anyone planning a touring build. He’s not big on hype. He’s big on showing what works and why. 

Away from the camera, the story is refreshingly normal. Ronny talks openly about where he started and the lessons learned along the way, from a $30 tent to purpose-built rigs that clock serious kilometres. That grounded approach is a big reason people trust him with their time and their next mod decision. 

Today the mission hasn’t changed: help people get out there and do it safely. Whether it’s sand driving basics, smart touring upgrades, or trip planning around Perth and beyond, Ronny keeps adding to a body of work that’s helped thousands build confidence off-road. It’s exactly the kind of ethos we live by at Destination4WD.
