Cheers Glen 😁

Hahaha nothing better than a cold dip mate

Hi mate, this was late December. If the water is as deep as it was when we did it, it would be impassable on bikes

Near impossible to gauge water depth in relation to any particular month , watch the weather is your best way of gauging river depths.

Hi mate, there are a few easier alternate sections, all of this video is the more difficult tracks. Take your time, great fun

@@inspiredtoexplore appreciate your time. I've also looked at Adelaide Hills four-wheel drive park. Have you been there and if so as a non-four wheel drive person, would eagle view or Adelaide Hills be the best first adventure Cheers

Thanks mate. Not sure to be honest, I haven’t weighed just the canopy itself but would love to know myself!

Hey there! We’re still exploring when we can! Luke is about to head up to Cape York

@@inspiredtoexplore sounds perfect what an adventure 🥰 we start heading north next year, currently anti fouling and all that fun stuff at the boat yard. Have fun

Thanks mate

@@inspiredtoexplore allmost rolled,, yeh well,, it is ifs.. buy a real 4x4. with 2 diffs..& no computer, to strand you miles from anywhere..

Haha cheers Harry, appreciate your ‘input’

Yeah mate, 2 x of them haha

Cheers! Enjoy, we can’t wait to get back there!

Thanks John

Haha thanks mate! It was quite an adventure that’s for sure.

Thanks mate! Nothing too fancy & over the top in regards to mods, just an Ironman snorkel with stock Isuzu air box. We also have extended diff & transfer case breathers up under the bonnet. Thanks for the feedback re. Billy Goat too! I’ve seen situations like that go pear shaped too easily and especially being solo, there’s no harm in being safe & sensible. Happy travels!

Thanks very much Rosalie! We’ll be back again another day to visit the ‘best camp site’ in Dargo!

Thanks Tanjan! We did it over 3 days (2 nights stay on the track). We just looked up free camps that were marked on WikiCamps. If you don’t have the app, I’d suggest getting it, it’s a great way to navigate as well as some good marked points of interest. All the best, safe travels!

Thanks for your opinion Luke.

Good little episode, but I have to agree with Luke, the road from Suggan Buggan is only advised not to tow a trailer, but it certainly could of ended a lot worse if you had met that other van a lot early when coming up the hill. Look forward to catching the next episode. 👍🏼

Glad to see you made Blue Rag. There are a whole heap of tracks to explore that make me more nervous than BR. Isn’t it a beautiful place!

@@chillhilltravel9933 South Basalt coming from Talbotville to Blue Rag is definitely one at the moment. I was advised to give it a miss on the weekend. Apparently there dropping a dozer down it in the next few weeks.

@@aguyandhistroopy South Basalt for sure. It tightens the muscles! I recommend any travellers to the HC get a set of Rooftop maps. Although somewhat out of date to the current conditions, when they say "steep", they mean it. A few of the tracks near Harrisons Cut are also tricky.... steep, slippery clay and nothing to winch off. Doesn't take much to get stuck, so it's a no brainer to know your vehicle, be prepared with appropriate recovery gear, know your own limits, have a Plan B, and have some form of communication that doesn't rely on Mobile Phone communication. Good to hear about the dozer!

Thanks for watching!

Hey mate, found it on eBay.

I mounted my fuel pump externally under the floor.

@@darrenoates381 I put mine under floor and extended the exhaust to behind the wheel on the other side of the van.

Hey Tao, there are easy lines that can be taken off of the main track.

@@inspiredtoexploreCheers. Went there today. Amazing experience and stunning view there

Hey Cory, not sure on the stainless itself. I got it made with a couple aluminium tie rails, all up $400. A mob called Sonnex is Adelaide. Awesome job

Hey Matthew, cheers mate! Yea we put in a 5kw unit. Heats the van up almost too quickly haha, we only ever run it on low heat & low fan, that’s plenty!

Thanks a lot George!

Cheers Harrison! On the bottom of each vertical panel, I fixed a bit of aluminium angle & bolted it through the floor.

@@inspiredtoexplore did you consider doing a false floor and then just screwing to that to reduce holes in the canopy? If so, what was your thought process that led to this method?

@@corymcclurg6386 hey Cory, didn’t go with the false floor to try & save some weight as the ply is pretty heavy already. Also without the false floor, it gives these small areas under the drawers for storing things like spare belts & hoses that will hopefully never have to come out, but can pull the drawer out of the body to access in emergency situations.

Hey Cory, Just going through comments and seen yr comment. I put a false floor in mine using 40mm aluminium square tubing with 12mm marine ply so it was all level. 6 months later I removed it due to buying pantry and changing set up. Have a look at my video for some ideas Cheers Out There Touring

Cheers Mark! Not sure about the NP campsites, but we couldn’t book the council run sites, they were first in best dress. We didn’t head into the NP this time because we had the dog. Hopefully that week in March might be a bit quieter though as we we there just after New Years in peak tourist times! Either way, I’m sure you’ll have a great time! Happy travels 😁

Thanks Liam! Amazing place hey 😁

Thanks Bailey! 😁 I had better find a recipe for pancakes!

Hi Ned & Judy, it cost us $657 return for our ute & caravan. Cheers

@@inspiredtoexplore bloody dear

@@nedjohnston3544 yes it is, but once you get over there & start to explore, it’s worth every dollar!

Thanks heaps Nathan! Really appreciate it 😁

@@inspiredtoexplore just in case if you didn’t know that’s my dad😂

@@PNGblaze hahaha thanks Bailey!

Haha thanks mate, we love it!

Thanks Laura! Mataranka was great, but Bitter Springs was absolutely amazing! Enjoy it when you get there, safe travels.

Cheers mate! I don’t know exactly how heavy the canopy is, I didn’t weight it before. At a guess, the empty canopy is around 120kg

Thanks Grant! The canopy is bolted down, I have nuts welded underneath the tray so I only need to worry about the bolt. All the drawers etc. are bolted down to the floor with some aluminium angle

Cheers mate. MW toolbox
