Overland Suspension – About Us

The name is relatively new, but the people and the product are proven.

We aren’t a business run by investors or people with no real interest in the product. We’ve all – there’s three of us – enjoyed many decades of genuine and enthusiastic involvement in the off-roading and 4×4 suspension world.

It’s why your Overland Suspension experience will be something special.

Here’s a little bit about each of us.

Brendan O’Keefe

You wouldn’t know it look at him, but Brendan is Aussie suspension royalty.

His dad Ken, put together the first commercially available 4×4 lift kit in Australia and is the founder of The Ultimate Suspension in Sydney, where Brendan spent his youth learning the trade. Suspension, particularly 4×4 suspension, is in the blood.

There isn’t much that Brendan doesn’t know about suspension and what does/doesn’t work with virtually every 4×4 vehicle on Australian roads, and that knowledge and experience underpins the Overland Suspension range.

Brendan has published numerous articles about 4×4 suspension systems, some of which you’ll find over at www.loaded4x4.store.

Steane Klose

Steane has been involved in the automotive media scene since 2007, when he founded The Motor Report, a new car reviews website that enjoyed a daily audience of more than 40,000 Australians at its peak.

He then partnered with David Wilson in 2018 to produce 12 bi-monthly issues of the free Loaded 4X4 online magazine that can still be read over at www.loaded4x4.media.

His experience with late model 4x4s, and the best ways to set about improving them, without breaking laws, is extensive.

That experience has taught him, that improving daily driver late-model 4x4s without introducing headaches, involves keeping them low, keeping the upgrades uncomplicated and only bolting on what you really, really need.

David Wilson

Among numerous radio and TV appearances, David and his wife Rose, pioneered the 4×4 adventure genre on TV back in the early 00’s, with their show Beyond The Bitumen.

David’s print media experience includes contributions to many well regarded 4×4 publications and of course, producing the Loaded 4X4 magazine with Steane for two years.

He’s also been a well-respected 4×4 driver trainer for decades and is currently tasked with running the training side of Isuzu’s I-Venture Club.

When it comes to getting novice drivers in stock 4x4s through tough tracks, he’s the man, and that experience is responsible for his obsession with tyres and tyre pressures, decent wheels, underbody protection and suspension that works.

Experience Tells us

When it comes to suspension, quality and intelligent design trumps complexity, every time. When it comes to road cars that go off-road, suspension that works right, straight out of the box, is the ideal solution if a dependable and enjoyable driving experience is what you’re seeking.

Or in other words, you want smart, not complicated.
