1973
50 years ago, TJM’s epic brand journey kicked-off in Moreton Island with humble Aussie ambition and ingenuity. Best-mates Taylor, Jones and Mollenhauer were carving up the sand dunes in their Land Cruisers and Ford 100s. But the boys couldn’t get the bull bars and roll bars they needed to trick-up their rides. So, they started making their own!
1976
Moved from a shed in the back yard of Lloyd’s mum’s place… to a branded store in Morrisby Street, Geebung.
1977

TJM Produced It's First Ever Catalogue!
