Hi, yes significant improvement we are very happy. They make it to a template from preformed mandrel bends with the use of a jig. This provides no crushing of tube and best flow. Give Luke and the crew a call or drop in and see them they are awesome to deal with.

Hey Joe welcome back. We have a lot of stuff coming up on this series hope you enjoy it.

@@filthyoffroadadventures . Thanks, keep up the good work, I will be tuning in. Cheers Joe 😊

Hi Joe thanks so much for joining us on this crazy adventure. Hope can provide you some entertaining and helpful content in the future.

It’s awesome place to explore.

Yeah definitely better now with the lift and tyres.

Yes Leisa is the same with pelican’s. Was such a great camp site can’t wait to go back.

There are still some cracking free sites hey. Just hope we all look after them so they are not lost for future generations.

Thanks for watching guys. Looking forward to your next one.

Oh also you two are going to be keen on the next episode there’s something right down your alley.

Glad it helped. I am so jealous that sounds like an epic trip. Great choose to hit this area too it really grabbed our heart while there. We normally always have dogs with us and I agree not a lot on TH-cam talking specifically about dog friendly areas. Hope you have a great trip and it involves lots of dirt roads.

Thanks for watching. Yes fuel consumption was worst to start and I was been well let’s say more liberal with the throttle 😂 I have now settled down to normal and around town etc seems to be very marginally better. But would not say it’s a game changer that’s for sure. Keen to see how it goes towing and on longer hwy runs.

@@filthyoffroadadventures you might need an adjustment to your tune. After all it will be breathing a lot better.

@@MichaelShakespeare-u4f yes definitely may be needed. Will see how it goes over coming months before we head off.

Doesn’t it. Sounds even better in person.

Thanks team we love it. Plus saves us weight 🤣😂

So happy with it can’t wait to get the new van behind it.

Thanks so much for that information. I will have to look up this buffalo burr. Thanks so much for watching.

😂🤣 Nope we are Aussies but NZ also has my heart. That flag you refer to is the thin blue line NZ flag from my police days. Still proud of the time in blue.

So we are finding out. Knew we produced a lot of meat just didn’t know goat was part of that.

Yeah it works so well. Can’t wait to take them to some epic places like Uluṟu etc.

Thanks we love him for all of His amazing qualities and challenging flaws 😂 We still can’t understand how the hell we didn’t get more damage.

Wow thanks we had no idea it was such a huge industry but now makes sense why there were so many. Thanks for watching and sharing with us.

Yeah it’s crazy to think we could driven to Melbourne and back in a few days ourselves. Sadly parts departments must pay for the cheapest freight options available and possibly involve a donkey and cart 😂

Wow thank you so much for that info. That is amazing never thought of export for human consumption and have definitely never eaten goat so didn’t realise was a nice tasting meat. Thanks so much for watch really appreciate it.

Thanks for watching. Yes certainly is and we just spoke about the fact that most people who travel regularly in Australia have either hit a roo or come close. We were so so lucky with minimal damage thanks goodness. We definitely don’t let it spoil our trip and have so much more to share from it.

We still can not understand how we got no glass or panel damage. Completely blessed as could’ve been so much worse. Hope you are well.

Thanks Carolyn. So I assume for meat?

Yup 100% weirdo 👌🤣

I still can’t believe it. Even how the wheel arches didn’t get damaged.

Very lucky indeed

Very lucky indeed

@doubleuglies4124 yup how that huge roo can roll down the side of the car and only take the mirror and snorkel still confuses us.

Thanks guys hope you are well. We thought pet food could be a possibility. The amount we saw no chance of a pet food shortage.

@@filthyoffroadadventures definitely there are a lot more of them around over the last couple of years, and they are spreading out over more areas as well.

Depends on what you use the Gladiator for. If you have lots of weight all the time the extra heavy are great options. For us we specifically went the HD with the plan to put in Airbag helpers for when towing. We wanted to keep the nicer ride and characteristics off road when not loaded up. I have driven one with the XHD and they are still really good.

Hey thanks for watching. I just messaged Dane to get some basics for you and things his reply. 😁 So the XJ is a 1998 Sport, stock engine and transmission Hack n tap SYE High pinion D30 front diff with 4:88 gears and locker Chrysler 8:25 rear diff with 4:88 gears and locker 285/75/16 mud tyres on 16x8 -10 offset steel wheels 3.5 inch lift Synergy HD steering system Antirock swaybar Steel Rock crawler front and rear bars Custom Steel box and tube rock sliders Bushwacker flares Runva 11xp winch Hope that can cover the basics, heaps of other stuff there to make the above work. Hope this helps if you have more questions let me know and if I can’t answer I will hit him up again. 👌

​@filthyoffroadadventures Hey, thanks for the reply. That seems like a very capable set up in the XJ. I only purchased my first XJ a few months ago and have been getting it reliable before any modifications. I'm starting to look at what set ups people run in AUS as opposed to in the US. I was only at Swan Gully the weekend just gone and got to give my XJ it's first real test run, surprisingly it went very well considering it's bone stock, i wanted to get it out and see how it goes stock so i know where to start modifications. I've been thinking around the same lines, except I'd like to go a long arm kit, stay around the 3" lift mark, 31x10.5's and a pair of lockers. The trouble seems to be finding where to get anything here. I can get general maitnece stuff through RockAuto but not to sure how to go about getting most other stuff, other than Ebay lol.

@rsleeper32 reach out to Dane he is the president of the Brisbane Jeep Club he would be happy to talk XJ’s with you. There are a few nice ones in the club.

It’s made such a huge difference already. Once we take off it will be a game changer.

😂🤣 how I feel after ever video 😂🤣

He is a funny man 😂🤣

A bit special 😂

But your our special 😂🤣

Especially Ivy. She is so cute the way she lays there watching the world go by.

We were wondering how much the levels fluctuated. We are keen to head back and park up for a few days and explore all the lake plus take our SUP’s with us.

@@filthyoffroadadventures yeah that would be great! If you find a drone washed up on shore…… let me know!🤦‍♂️

😂😂 oh no 😢 I know that feeling

😂🤣 that’s would be a rookie move. Don’t you know you never listen to your wife?

It was incredible. Can’t wait for next year and this will be our everyday 🙏

Yes it was such a great campsite just wish we had more time there. Trust me we will be back in the future and we will spend a few days there.

Hey thanks for watching. Sadly like a lot of places there was a number of harder trails but they have all been closed. The trails you can still do are nice and fun but definitely on the easier end of the scale.

@@filthyoffroadadventures thank you for replying. I might check it out one day in something more legal than my JK 😊

😂🤣

Hi team. For this section we actually didn’t air down as it was not very bad at all. Later in the trip we did air down for the breakaways on.

Haha I see what you did there 😂🤣

@@filthyoffroadadventures 😂😂

We are definitely cut from the same cloth 😁

Thanks for watching. 😁

😂🤣

Yep can be challenging at times 😂 but overall we have had less issues with our Jeeps than other cars we have owned. We are glutes for punishment 😂

JEEP = Just Empty Every Pocket. 😂😂 . Seriously they are a great four wheel drive.

@leisatocknell8867 that really covers all the mods too 😂🤣

Perfect for a relaxing walk. Sad that you can’t swim there anymore.

Great comment and I agree it is very very hard to find a balanced and untainted review anywhere. Most like mine are based on personal experience and from discussions with other users. Have you considered the new K03? There has been a lot of interesting reviews from around the world but it is early days as they are very new. Looking at the tech they should be a significant step forward from the K02’s especially with wet bitumen grip and edge tread grip. We are currently looking at replacements for and while Maxxis are on the list again and the K03 are also on the short list. What type of hybrid do you have?

@@filthyoffroadadventures Thanks for the very prompt reply, I was not expecting that! Last question first, the hybrid van is a Track Trailer Topaz 11 (as in series 2). The company has recently gone into receivership sadly. As for the KO3s, a local tyre retailer told me a couple of days ago, that they were unavailable here so I don’t know if that is just a short term shortage, or not available in Australia yet (which is what I thought he meant). As my wife and self are in an older demographic than you, 75 and 80 years later this year, I don’t push things as hard as I once might have, and grip has rarely been an issue except for now with our farm tracks now so slushy that I have needed to winch up a slight slope on grass and another time on bare ground it just slid backwards slowly in the dark, about six metres till it stopped in a gutter. Clearly 4 or 5mm of tread depth is not enough on unmade tracks or bare ground when saturated with persistent rain. Thanks again for your reply and I will have a look through tour other videos, as this one on the Maxxis is the first time I have come across you on YT, and if this is anything to go by I am sure that I will enjoy your other works too. Cheers and happy travels

@Ropetangler you are more Than welcome we love chatting to people any chance we get and we hope you get something out of our content. The K03’s are on a slow release of sizes and I think they only released about 4 or 5 sizes which hit shops lat week. There are more sizes arriving this month. I only know this as a good friend owns a tyre shop and we have been discussing possibly of trying this on the Jeep this time and the size we run isn’t due until September. When you decide I would love to know which way you go and how you find what ever you go for. As for your van I don’t know that one I will do some research on them 👌 Matt

They are amazing hey. Just about to click over 80k

Thanks so much for following along with us. We have some epic stuff coming up 😁
