Hi there, fantastic video. Are the shocks specifically the raids?

On ya

Gday mate. Really appreciate the vid and the education you’re giving. Is the Koni shock / terrain tamer parabolic combo still in your opinion the way to go? My constant load in the rear will be 500 kgs but prob 800 kgs when I’m loaded up for a trip with boat on canopy , trailer etc so I’m thinking the 700 kg parabolic? What model Koni shock ya reckon? Cheers mate and well done

How can you do a winch and a car bra or tarpaulin That's not possible

Question please, I have LC100 series and like to upgrade the breaks. Any advise on the brand etc or any useful links please? Thanks in advance

Hi there, Thanks for your videos. Good help.

My 70's truck has no computer.

Looks super fun Suping!

I get you cleared the code to take it out of limp mode but what was the underlying issue causing it and don't you risk damage by just clearing codes and powering on or does it depend on the issue? Also how does it compare with the Scanguage 3? Cheers

Would you still recommend parabolics on a 79?

Hot tip..... less aggressive Tyre tread....Been sand driving for over 40 years.....

Thankyou mate, solved problem straight away.

Cool

Incredible soundtrack and beautiful footage. 10/10

CATCH CANS WAKE UP! They do work well if you use the correct type & size. NO you don't want that oil filling your intercooler or oily soot gunk clogging your inlet !!! Even the cheap knock off $35 Provent 200 from e bay works well. You can add some stainless pot scourers to filter more or retro fit a PV 200 paper filter, but it's not worth the money for paper filters. Also use a heavier / thicker oil to reduce blowby. Manufacturers thin oil recommendations are total BS that destroys engines !!! And because Aussie fuel is junk & now basically ultra low sulphur you ALWAYS need a good fuel lubricant !!! Then you'll have no excessive ring, valve or injector wear !!! Injectors should never be worn out or a problem at 200,000 kl if you use a decent lubricant, or unless a mechanical fault or badly made injector or faulty injector to start with. And never use cheap oils like Valveoburn or Castocastrate.

Buy once, cry once. Well worth the money!

Awesome Vid to some cracking spots with some lovely looking set ups.

Some people needs 8 M/T tires, other thinks that OEM tires are good enough.

Thanks for the memories, what a trip.

where's the muddies and big lifts and water flowing from every crack and crevasse. No mud flinging winching action with broken bits?

why are they splashing?

Lovely Vid and song

great little vid.

I'm in the process of researching/considering the Sierra ZR. Just wondering what brand/model gas stove you are using as i can't see anything similar from the usual culprits. Thanks for sharing video, it has gone a long way towards placing the ZR on my short list.

Take em to the Moon

Should always use a fuel lubricant as well, seeing that sulphur levels have dropped to almost nothing.

Great stuff thanks for taking the time and effort to provide us the info. Worthwhile upgrade.

I hope you changed the Scavange Pump when you got the Engine rebuilt. Its usually the cause of excessive oil burn

Weren't you saying that the Koni shocks are the best you have tried out?

How much harder does towing a trailer make this?

Thanks very much we really appreciate your information on Cape York

Yes you do need the bigger can for the V8's, 3 litre & 2 litre engines. Even on smaller engines the big one's are fine. Can never have a can too big. You must use thicker oils like 20W-50 or 20W-60. Your engine has lots of blowby & wear because of people etc using those stupidly thin oil recommendations they have now. The thin oils are total bs & are destructive to your engine in hot Oz climates. I've seen that many engines prematurely worn & or damaged from thin oils it's not funny. Ticking lifters, heaps of blowby, blowing smoke, burning oil, lower compression & as you say, worn rings, valve guides & seals etc. If you're driving in -20 C thin oils are ok, but never for Australian or other hot country conditions. Any honest oil engineers & honest mechanics will tell you the same. It also says that in the oil specification books.

Dont take trailers thats all there is to it.

Great review, you tested the shit out of it.. but for the price and boasting 20 yrs of off road camper building, the only cons should be little personal picky things that other would roll their eyes at, but the cons you mentioned are major and reasonable, the practicality doesn’t match the toughness, they’ve built a camper to what you’ve done with it and to last. Like you mentioned though most campers will barely see a rough dirt road and couple trips a year and won’t get the intensity of use you’ve given it. You’d expect that ball weight on a big arse caravan not a camper, wtf. Hopefully a longer drawbar will cut the weight down and AOR work with you on your concerns. Top videos, doing one of tours would be very awesome…

I have the same shape hilux that I’m setting up with a trailer to do a long slow explorative working holiday around Oz. It was a tough test, so the hilux did good. Hope you put the next trip on the Tube. What size tyres did you run? Good to see the girls on these tours giving driving a crack.

I find it hard to fathom that anyone would not understand that catch cans have a filter. Most even come with a filter replacement windscreen sticker!

Thanks for a great video mate. I will see you guys up there hopefully soon.

no lefts?

Wonder if a catch can would stop the white smoke on start up for my diesel engine too, reckon worth a shot?

If they had given you a full height quantum, would you have taken it on same route or would those trees have made it too risky?

Do they call you "Mr Arizona"? You stripped bolts... That's a sure sign not to listen to a word he says.... Opening the oil filter cap and it going out there and not via the crank case is called science.... air follow path of lest resistance.... He had issues due to improper catch can size and not maintaining it....

Keep more travel uploads coming mate , awesome watch

Awesome video, really enjoyed it. Why haven’t you got more subscribers? What’s the weight of the camper trailer?

Is the PDR "technically doable" with a regular car, or genuinely quite straightforward? We'd like to do the cape to the tip as a bucket list with our Cub camper-trailer (<1000kg) and our Suzuki SX4 (4wd version, 1st gen, auto box) from Cairns as a touring holiday rather than an off-road expedition. We'd like to travel via the bloomfield track if feasible, and have heard it is "doable" with a "softroader", but happy to cut that out if it's beyond something like the SX4.

Just crossed Simpson with patrol and off road camper trailer. Drop pressure to 14 on all 6, follow rig road west to east than k1 line to qaa, you see more stuff and experience true isolation/Simpson spirit. Must admit there were a few high dunes in qaa line but never got bogged, just cruised to the top and had to slow right down to descend on the east side of the dune which was chopped up pretty badly. I wouldn't recommend camper trailers, purely that if you break down would be more hassle and you have to be pretty experienced in off roading and sand driving to tow it up. However if you are going to, just follow rig road and k1, do it west to east. You would be mad to go east to west with camper trailer and guarantee you won't get very far, getting bogged on pretty badly chopped up east side of dunes. Now i did not see any camper trailers going east to west but did come across guided tours of 11 cars in convoy or motorcycles. Not sure who caused more damage to the track, my camper trailer or unexperienced convoys bashing east to west.

Hi mate Any updates? Still happy with the set up? Thanks

Great review
