About this listen

The Outer Side is a weekly podcast for anyone who loves 4WD, outdoor adventure, exploring off the grid, and the search for wild experiences.


Join me each week as I chat with people from all walks of life who will share their stories, with the aim of motivating you to spend more time exploring outside, and offroad.


From 4x4s to camping, fishing, diving, hiking, dirt bikes, and everything in between.


If it happens outside, you’ll find it on The Outer Side.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • #50 - COWBOY TUNED
    Aug 3 2025

    In this episode of The Outer Side, Blair from Cowboy Tuned takes over hosting duties of the show, by popular demand.


    Blair asks Tony his own (questionable) questions, as well as asking a whole bunch of questions that you guys wanted Tony to answer.


    While there's a fair amount of banter and immature jokes, the boys also cover some serious topics and give you a bit of insight into Tony's background with street cars, 4WDs, camping, fishing, and his career in Marketing.

  • #49 - BEN DOBINSON
    Jul 27 2025

    In this episode of The Outer Side, Tony is joined by Ben Dobinson.


    The Dobinson name is familiar to many people in the 4WD community through the Dobinson's Suspension brand, started by Ben's grandfather over 72 years ago!


    Tony and Ben chat about the path Dobinson's Suspension has taken as a company, challenges in business, and adapting to different customer needs as global markets change and 4x4 vehicles evolve.


    The boys also spend time talking about the build of Ben's insane 650+hp GQ Nissan Patrol, and the Dobinson's King of The Strip drag racing event.
