they're such an underrated machine - great to see the beast smashing through the snow mate - cheers for the support here's to an even bigger 2025

thanks for the support mate - good to know around the ZR6, if the V6 has manual and locking diff sheeesh might be a serious contender 🤙 that's it who needs a lifted with 35" landy when the mighty Rav conquers too

many more to come mate! enjoy your holidays too 🤙

was one hell of a year mate - ngl the hammock will never get old. Will try keep the same engine into 2026 this time too haha was a cracking time learning the swap and being amongst the fourbie club.

thanks mate it's the only way to get to know the vehicle 🤙

i'd still suggest it as a cool spot to camp - just have a couple candles going for Skeletor

cheers mate 🤙

great suggestion mate - it's a spot i've been meaning to head to for awhile now too!

thanks mate i've heard there's a bit of an offroad scene over in the UK too!

thanks for the tip mate I'll definitely add that one to hit up 🤙

cheers mate 🤙 keen for an epic summer 🙌 wish i went to Stockton earlier!

averaging 13/14 per 100 after modifications which is roughly the same as other modified Territorty's. Pre modification was around 12 per 100 so not a huge change

thanks mate was a cracking time 🤙

i've lifted the Territory as high as I'd like it and it's taken me everywhere so far 🤙 mates Rav4 just needs to pick his lines and crossings carefully but still manages great too - low range would be good for extended sand driving but tbh the rig has gone everywhere i've needed without investing in a more expensive fourbie for now 💪 your Hilux even stock will still take you to a tonne of spots too ez

thanks mate that little Rav4 continues to hold its own with the big boys

second winch was just a small pull, the earlier recovery had the dampener as it was much longer - yeah the day out was a hoot and would 10/10 head out again.

@@alwaysAWD Yeah I could see that was an easy winch. A tree trunk protector would still be nice.

cheers mate!

the 2012+ onwards only had the diesel in the AWD not the mighty Barra - so better choice i reckon for ease of parts and maintenance 🤙

100% mate best way to start off in the 12V setup and get out there 🤙 don't need more than a smart isolator and a fridge

yeah a big part of me was tempted, but this was after we got absolutely soaked with everything the previous night and already spent a fair bit of time checking out tracks - winch absolutely on the cards though 🤙 need to get a custom bar fitted first as there's nothing off the shelf for the Territory as it were

@@alwaysAWD nothing was available for mine either.

@@dannthenitroman all part of the AWD life isn't it haha - it's half the fun though seeing how far can push these builds with bars and such too

@@alwaysAWD just gotta get the grinder and welder out. And go for it.

sick that's good to know - will have to suss it out! guessing the 3rd gen might have a bit more oomph than the OG as well

all about being prepared, having recovery gear then giving it all a crack to build their confidence 🤙

cheers mate the Grand Vitara can be pretty capable as well 🤙 lots more vids to come hopefully 💪

mate was pedal to the metal, didn't look it but was steeper than the slope looked on cam and even with the foot pressed right down (was in the car with him on an attempt) just ran out of steam 🤙

@@alwaysAWD yep fair enough that's where low range gives less powerful vehicles that bit of xtra to do stuff like that. That's why not having low range in Territory makes up for it a bit with the Barra compared to the Rav

that's it, a tiny fourbie would have done it with low range but yeah just not having that oomph came into play. thankfully we had max trax so that made up for everything and was still a cracking day out

definitely a destination worth locking in the calendar mate 🤙 that Delica ate up the sand like nobody's business, be an epic build i think Fire to Fork used or used a Delica too

@@alwaysAWD I would love to build out a Delica especially a Long Wheel based version to give that extra room to make it more liveable. Harry (Fire To Fork) still has it but he has not been using it for a while. He was going to leave it on the East Coast but I think it is back in W.A now for some work.

that's it would be the best of both worlds - plus don't need a truck licence like the big Unimogs a lot of other people seem to be doing lately too. Yeah been awhile since seeing it on the channel, always thought it was a cracking rig.

@alwaysAWD yeah they would be a lot of fun and they are pretty damn capable with the same basic running gear as the Pajero they can go pretty much all the same places. I lo e being able to pull up for a night and just camp from your vehicle, no swag, no tent, no stuffing around.

@@OnCountryWithMick that would be the the main goal - no fuffing around with setups. big reason i'm a rooftop tent fan - miss my old one and hopefully one back on the rig soon. but yeah Delica well kitted out would be the ultimate off grid vehicle I reckon

gauge gorge haha too much excitement on the sand! loved every minute of it. haha or drop a 3SGTE into it 👀 that little rav is killer even with just a lot of right foot!

it's a great stop over that's for sure mate 🤙 cheers! was a cracking time

that's it - comfortable and super capable my dude 🤙

AWD is alright but let's be realistic low range really helps in certain situations.

she goes hard 🤙

great to hear your enjoying your rig mate! If you keep the mods light such as a 12V and under 2" then most insurers I've used in NSW shouldn't have a problem i find. I'd suggest a set of all terrains and ensuring your other driveline components are tip top before going a lift as well. If considering a lift just do 1" and see if you're really pushing it hard that more will be needed. I find that's more than enough for touring and fits any ATs wheels nicely 17/65/245 or less.

can definitely do the whole track in a stock Territory! Just pay attention to the creek crossing level and you'll be right. If in doubt walk it across first 👌

we saw a fox on another trip so there's defo some wildlife around! might have to wet a line next time we're across 🤙

yeah might not be a bad idea some overalls! cheers mate appreciate the support super stoked reaching on the 500 🙌 keen for more content over summer

great suggestion mate - i always carry snatch straps and winch ones in case so definitely prepared to an extent! but great idea on the hand winch! cheers for support mate glad you enjoy them 🤙 many more to come soon!

cheers mate good to know!

thanks mate! i'm sussing out a rear lokka since my last trip to Glasshouse but they don't make any front ones for the Territory so I'll see how it goes 🤙 she's a capable rig as is which is awesome

@@alwaysAWD yeah nice even just having a rear one will make a load of difference I've got a territory me self was thinking about doing the same thing and mucking around with it have a bit of fun

i feel just all terrains and maybe a small lift and careful wheel placement these cars can go anywhere - throw yours into traction mode 2 and away ya go 🤙 a lokka only ever crossed my mind after some crazy intense wheeling in glasshouse - otherwise the rig has been unstoppable everywhere i've taken it as is 💪

cheers mate!

bringing the city fashion to the bush haha

cheers that's what's it all about just getting out in nature and having a blast 👌 i just got Kmart gumboots haha they've never let me down (unless it's just user error and i go too deep)

thanks mate just trying to have some fun in the rigs we got without getting ridiculously stuck 🤙 appreciate the support!

just head to Rydal 4WD area and you'll get a good idea of it 🤙

cheers mate just all about knowing your limits 🤙

how good! rocky bottom helps a tonne and would be cracker seeing a Telstar come across

sweet as great to hear - the Rav4 is a cracking car and it's such a wonderful area to explore
