Repairing my Destroyed Maxtrax
After losing 2 Maxtrax at Inskip Point and destroying another one on Fraser Island, it's time to get fixing. After some searching I found the repair teeth made by Kaon and got stuck into repair mode. The result might not be beautiful, but it'll definitely do the job and cost me less than $100 versus $200-$500 for a new set of tracks.

Nice vid! Sounds like you did all the right things, so not much you can do yo avoid getting bogged. Did you try the cruiser traction control in Sand mode? Interested in what GVM you went with to!
Thanks! The funny part is I don’t actually mind getting bogged, it’s all part of getting to know the rig and getting to know its unique points. I did try the TC at the Dilli Village entry but I can’t say it made a noticeable difference. The cruiser GVM is the Old Man Emu 3.9t upgrade. I’m super happy with it so far.
This is why I have cancelled my order for a 300 series to replace my 2018 200 series I will keep my 200 series as long as possible
Why aren't your back wheels spinning when your getting off the boat?
Drivers side rear wheel was in a hole and spinning
@@snakeo99 there's an argument for leaving traction control on then.
Nice car. Nice rear drawers, I’ve been looking at the same system for my Prado. Assume the cover/box over the fridge is removable, is it sturdy enough to use as a shelf for say, camp chairs etc ? Cheers
Correct the surround is removable and will hold anything you’re likely to get up there, certainly chairs. Drifta also makes a removable insert if you need a flat deck once the fridge is out.
it would pay to carry 6 max tracks then you could start your self recovery by putting two tracks behind your car and reversing then putting 4 in front and driving forward also tie about 5m of rope to each track then you wont have look for them when you get out
We’ve upped the kit to 8 tracks since this trip and use the tethers every time without exception 👍🏻
it pays to get up speed before starting to turn
All those great extras but still no coloured ribbon on the maxtrax?????
Yeah, that was my expensive lesson for this trip. We don’t use the maxtrax without them anymore. You should see them attached to the tracks when we attempt the Dilli Village entry.
Manual states turn off lane keeping assist and pre-collision system when towing. Enjoyed the show. 😃
That makes total sense. I’m ashamed to admit the manual is probably my last reference point for these things 😂
What campsite's did you stay in? We are considering taking our van over there next year.
We stayed at: Eli Fenced Camping Area (Zone 4) although there are some great spots in the unfenced area that would suit a van. Cathedrals On Fraser - great spot with a pretty easy entry. The tracks inside the grounds are quite tight but doable with the big van. All the amenities of a caravan park and has fire pits. Dilli Village - really great little grassed campsite. Doesn’t have ocean views but a great spot if your timing is tight onto or off the ferry. I’d ring ahead if you’re taking a van and the caretakers will happily help out with the entry track. Also has a few communal fire pits.
That's a big old van to be pulling through soft sand! And I see in one of your comments that you got the car down to 8PSI, so you've got nowhere to go after that!
Welcome back! Good to see you post up the bogs and failures too. Many people are too proud to share these moments.
Thanks mate, appreciate the kind words. We do try to share the real experience.
17:10 Hi - I’m the guy in the Prado who pulled you out of the sand at Dili village. 😂 Good to see you guys got out okay and nice to meet the two of you as well! Nice video.
Hey Mike! Thanks for the helping hand and great to meet you too! Think I’ll need to start packing a Prado as part of my recovery gear 😂
Can you share details of that tyre deflator tool you used?
Enjoyable video and thanks for sharing the good and not so good parts of your trip. As one who has never driven on sand, what do you think you could’ve done differently to prevent bogging? Lower pressures?
@@donr62 Since we've got 8 wheels to deflate I actually use two types; a Carbon Offload Digital Speedy Tyre Deflator (shown in the video) and a set of Tuff Terrain Quick Connect Deflators. I hook up the quick connects to the caravan (15psi for this trip) and deflate the car manually (8psi - 15psi for this trip).
@@donr62 in some of the areas like the entry to Dilli Village, trying to get 6+ tons through that entry without getting stuck is almost inevitable (the caretakers actually recommend calling ahead if you're towing so they can recover you). Our tyre pressures were 8psi - 15psi for the full trip so wouldn't say we could go much lower. Inskip and the barge exit would be our fault. We got caught up on the mainland with the kids and decided to risk the crossing just before high tide (which I do not recommend). Inskip I tried to veer off the well trodden track and got bogged immediately and the barge exit dropped us onto the soft sand rather than the compacted area below the tide line. The campsite was unfortunately a combination of the turning circle and weight of the caravan. With the combined towing weight the only solution for us was correct momentum and tyre pressures, and see how far you get and recover from there. Extra Maxtrax also help (just don't lose them).
Wow. Been a long time since the last video upload. Jeep T-shirts not allowed. But lekker video anyway 👍
Thanks man! Guess I’ll need to do some Toyota merch shopping 😃
Whether snorkel leaking?
I know some owners have had an issue with the air filter getting wet in heavy rain. Hasn't been an issue for us so far, and will be swapping it out for the Safari Armax shortly.
can you tell me where you bought the fitting that screws on under your sink to take the cam lock
Bought it off a guy that sells them on the Austrack Owners Facebook group. If you do a search for the word 'camlock' on the group you should find him.
@@ImpalaOverland Thankyou
You should stay home … destroyed the paddock. Wanker 🤌🤌🤌
Hi are you please able to tell me the name and type of rims please size etc and tyres please ? Thanks
They’re 18 inch King Wheel Daytona Euro rims.
I was very interested in this video as we have a similar problem with the same awning on a Stoney Creek hybrid. We also have a problem that water runs from the roof, along the awning mounting and down over our fridge door when it rains. Looking to replace our awning with something similar.
are you still traveling and doing videos ?
Hey mate, had to take a little unplanned hiatus but more content coming soon.
Wow that’s impressive, I think if that was offered as an option from factory it would be very popular!
Thank you. That’s a real situation and a humble gentleman that gets to the point 👌🍻
I notice you have an extendable ladder, do you stow it in the tow vwhicle or in the van?
What is the name of that camp ground?
What colour is that
It's Dusty Bronze, best colour for the 300 in my opinion. I may be biased though 😁
Hi thank you for the video. Like where you located heater, what brand ,model heater and could you still recommend. It’s a mine field out there with brands etc etc. thank you
Beautiful mods on your cruiser🎉

For the lane departure assist, I think in the next update they should put the steering system they have in the Twin brother LX 600, which is an electric steering system. I agree using the brakes to pulse the car back into its lane is extremely dangerous. Toyota should get have to consider changing that.
Welcome to Victoria
Stupid question did you drop the tyre pressures. I'd have gone down to maybe 15 PSI.
Good question - yes I dropped tyres on car and van but it didn't make a marked difference. I didn't record it sadly, but we even tried snatching from the road with a Prado but the rig wouldn't budge. I was genuinely shocked at how instantly the whole lot just sunk in and stayed there.
I have had none of the mechanical issues you refer to. Wonder if the SA spec is different. I have heard complaints of caravans swaying though
What seat covers do you use? Great video!!!
They're Gotya Covered seat covers made in WA. Theyve done about 20,000km so far and still look like new.
Which model 300 did you go with and why?
Are you able to give me some feedback about your Tanami X15 as I am looking to buy one. I would really appreciate this. many thanks
Mooi man. Does much water get in between the awning and the van when it rains or did you seal that gap?
land cruiser looks great without the roof rack!
Interesting situation! I have always thought I'd never need a winch, but it would very hard to get out of this one without it.
Lovely truck! Nice video
As soon as you said Gloucester….the car park confirmed my suspicions 😉 I have a 10 yo Drifta drawer system and it works as well as the day it went in. It is the best camping table available! Excellent choice 👍
This is not a land cruiser , just over priced Prado built on Prado chassis, narrow Prado wheels ,same size inside as a Prado way smaller inside that the 200: Very little leg room in back seat Loss of 140 lt fuel tank a downer Only difference is different motor and a longer bonnet New motor is no match to the v8 ,noisy if working even a little bit,10 speed box is good at road speed , but around town every time you slow down if drops back a couple of gears and refuses to upshift instead of just rolling along,very annoying And as for the tail gate and beeping you already been over that,
Not so, it is far removed from a Prado. I dont like the Prado’s interior and lack of basic items like USB ports, poor quality sound system in the VX, air suspesion efc. The 300 is way better ito powertrain, ride quality and solidity. And I hear no beeps? But also hate it. I have also critised the 300 till I have test driven it well. Really very nice. 200 was a frustration to me, ergonomically a nightmare, again poor sound system, heavy on furl, and apologies to all the fans, the V8 4,5 didnt perform that well. So I am confident that I will be happy with the 300 after a Prado, and 200 way back. Rather pay than to be sorry.
If you going to buy a flint to start a fire may as well take a lighter 😂
Nice drawers, a bit pricey. Why not Camping and staying at the motel?
The motel was due to a slightly embarrassing story involving a forgotten ladder and a friendly policeman. I'll share in a video at some point.
How do you find the room in the back for your kids, it’s our biggest gripe about deciding what to go with Toyota or Nissan. Can’t justify the 20yr old interior in a modern car with Nissan.
It works great for us, but we've only got a toddler and we've never really used a pram/stroller so haven't missed the space. The Patrol didn't make our list of options specifically because of the interior.
How is intercooler system .this is hot v engine right?
Haven't had any issues of my own to speak of. Yes, it's a hot V and the cooling is done via liquid/air charge coolers.
@@ImpalaOverland thank you
Toyota is at the level where ppl will complain bout their cars but still queue up to buy with their arms and legs. Thats legendary status.
Great video. Love the wheels! What are they?
What tyres are on the car?
They are Falken Wildpeak A/T tyres
Are they to toyota rims upgrade? Looks awesome
