The High Country general gives people good memories that's for sure. Might be time to get back up there mate.. Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching, we appreciate the feedback. Hopefully I can get a bit more time to make some more episodes.

@@darrinrassack5032 more to come

Appreciate the input Dale. as previously stated it was an oversight by me, in lead up videos you can quite clearly see we wear our seat belts. I will take your comments onboard, thank you.

Thanks Luke, it was a very nice way to finish the days drive. Had a little adventure after that but that's another story. I think I'll try a slow cooked shank next to see he difference.

Thank you, I have done an over all tour of the Ute, but not specifically the kitchen setup, I could do that though. What sort of things would you like to see in it?

@@theoffroadtradies1002 The cooking equipment set up, how is it being powered and a tour of the interior would be awesome! Might sound weird but I'm watching from Singapore and we do not have such cool vehicles over here...

Thanks Podge, it was a rippa meal in an awesome spot. Slow cooked next time I reckon.

Thanks Mark I often wonder if I should keep doing them but good feedback tells me it’s a yes. Appreciate you watching.

Thank you, it was delicious. Think I’ll do a slow cooked shank next. Thank you for watching.

Slow cooked next one Phill, it was delicious and warm.

Thank you for watching, hope to have more out soon.

G'day mate, it was weighed when I bent the chassis and I was around the 4T mark, so yep overweight, not a lot I could do about it though as it needed everything I had on it. I was going to get it GVM upgraded to 3950kgs through Solve Offroad, but I have since bought a 79 as the motor in the old girl went again.

Cheers. Bloody heck 4T! I just watched the run through of the 79. Congrats. Will you do a vid on what went wrong with the ranger?

@@Angler233 I didn’t think about that but it’s a very good idea. I’m moving a heap of parts onto another ranger shortly.

That would be a very interesting drive for sure. 👍

Just had a quick chat with Curl and he said he got them from Autobarn in Dubbo.

For me mate, I was $WDing and I had a large wheel lift, when the ute came down the wheel was spinning and then stopped under load quickly which caused the drive shaft to break.

It depends on the terrain a bit mate but it will add around 30-50kms of range for me and also pick up coverage in some places I couldn’t get it before. I’d love to give you an exact distance but it depends on a number of factors. For me in the bush I’d never not have one again.

All good mate, we have done right through to the western highway on many other occasions.

Too true mate, makes it very difficult for the newer or less modified vehicles to get through without damage.

@@hcaban02 look forward to seeing you out there or with us mate. 👍

Ahh yes that's my youngest daughter, she was cheering on Jesse (the 200 series) it was her nickname for it. I'm very lucky to have a family that love to 4Wd and go camping.

G'day Joel, sorry I have been away for a couple of weeks. That is such a hard question, if you have the funds a full Australian owned and built unit for sure, they seem to be the best option, not quite the layout I needed, but better design and build quality. If not, try to go with a unit that has at least had Aussie suspension in it and check the companies warranty and back up services. What I was told and what actually was available were two very different things.

Thank you, still a bit to go but I’m happy with it so far.

Thank you for watching, possibly yes.

@@theoffroadtradies1002 Perfect! Let's move forward via email.

Thank you, it was a big decision to go with the cruiser, it progressing well, I still have some work to do yet, but I think that is an endless thing will with decking out 4WD's.

Thanks Paul, I have scrub bars and side steps on my list to still do, along with roof and centre consoles.

Thanks mate, looking forward to the Flinders trip in it.

Thank you it is such an awesome place. We will be going back again soon.

Do you have a picture of the end product mate, I'd be interested in seeing it. I have thought about the oven bags, but just haven't tried it out yet. Thank you for watching.

@@theoffroadtradies1002 will find one but not sure how to uplaoad a pic

@@theoffroadtradies1002 cant load a pic ? Whats your email

Only a little bit of doubt Phill

Thank you for watching, I was pretty happy with them and they are so easy to do. I hope you enjoy them as much as the kids and I did.

It does take you back MJ, let me know how you go with it.

Ahh I won't miss the CV's that's for sure. I still have the ranger, but it is doing just local work around town as it's got 400000kms on the clock now and it needed a rest, had a few things starting to go wrong. I'll be doing a vid shortly of the cruiser once I get a bit more sorted out on it.

@@theoffroadtradies1002 I’m sure you’ll enjoy it they are great vehicles.

Mate that's something I didn't think of but definitely worth a go, or even yabby tails if you are out bush.

Thanks Mark, I'm enjoying being back out and about that's for sure.

Thanks mate, might be a few weeks to the next as I'm heading to the Cape today for a tour.

Thanks Luke, really you are only limited to what you can think of and how it might need to be tweaked a little for the travel buddy. Keep me posted on your cook ups.

@@theoffroadtradies1002 cooked for the first time in the 12v oven done ribs driving up to the sunny coast nearly 3 hours on about 150, meat fell off the bone!!! Can’t wait to head home now to try something else 🤣🤣

@@LukeHaydon-rg4qh great stuff mate you will be hooked now. 👌🤙

These ones were from our local IGA, but we used to get them from Coles, they had 3 different sizes, the bigger ones are easier to use and make more of a meal.

Thank you Katherine, you will love the oven. If you can’t find the dish locally try online they are an Avanti Dry Cell. Keep me posted on how you go with it.

Thanks MJ, I have never used a step up transformer, I did look into it but decided I was happy without for now.

Thanks mate, I got mine from Aussie Disposals in Mildura, but he was having some issues restocking. The brand on the bottom of the tin is Avanti and its called a dry cell. Hope this helps mate.

Anytime it was a good cook and delicious I couldn’t ask for much more.

It’s a pretty steep drive up mate that’s for sure. It’s quite possible we are up that way fairly often. 👍

Thanks Mark hopefully not so long between cooks this time.

Cheers mate, I was very happy with the end product, delicious, warm and filling.

Thanks mate, hopefully I can get a few done quickly.

@@theoffroadtradies1002 can i ask where you got that tray and lid from I couldnt hear it in the video

From Aussie Disposals mate

Thanks Robert, I've got a few more in mind, will hopefully get another one done this week before I head to the Cape for a few weeks.

Honestly mate, I totally forgot, I was stressing out about the descent. If you look at previous vids I generally have it on.

Hey Andy, no I didn't have the lockers on, I had literally just installed new CV's 2 days earlier. We were trialing extended ones from Roadsafe, which we have since removed. Curl did one in the same trip and we did about 6 or 7 in a few months so we went back to standard and have had less issues.

@@theoffroadtradies1002 You’ve had plenty of practice changing the then, unfortunately. Love the videos 👍 Cheers mate

@@AndyL940 yep we have changed more than we would have liked to that's for sure. The ranger/bt50 are definitely easier than the Hilux we had to do on a Desert to Dunes tour though. Thank you for watching we appreciate it and the comments too, keep them coming.

I’ll double check in the morning for you mate.

The Torx bit is a TX45 mate, tension in NM I didn't use I just went as tight as possible.
