Time to do killy loop. I got bogged at red head years ago with a mate dan smith. He had a kia, it was 2am, we may have been stoned, anyway thanks to the local cops that came and saved us lol. Silly teens. Love the new rig, so happy you guys are back.
loved the porsche, my son has the VW touareg, 2009, it is unstoppable, 3.0 v6 diesel tonnes of power, we may or may not have done a naughty 4 wheel power slide on the beach, so much fun to drive. love to know more about the porsche and especially the bull bar, photos etc.
I’m a 4 wd driver from the 70s on, and I love seeing you 4 showing us new or reliving my old drives. So great your back on the road with the new bloody impressive ride. You two are being proactive for others and inspiring families to get out there, but in a humble true blue Aussie style. May the roads be long and safe. Thanks🇦🇺✌️😁
It’s beginning to feel like the Karstan and Maxine show again.😂❤Yeah I’m sold on the Oka now. Well done and where’s your new destination taking us punters? Starting to get excited. 😅
Love how youve ketp the Kombi in opening 👌 If you get up to port stepehns, Anna Bay beach is a good challenge but becareful samd down closer to water. Its like quick sand but its awesome about 50km trek down to newcastle.
Just came across your channel recently and have enjoyed the Oka build. So looking forward to seeing your adventures in it and have to say - you're an awesome family and loving your energy and excitement! Keep it coming and be safe!!! Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa!
If its a 4.8 twin turbo Porsche its probably the best towing vehicle ever. Great suspension (air suspension). Huge power. Better brakes than most cars on the road, and 4wd to boot. Probably a little thirsty (OK maybe a lot...). And the first series had a low range transfer box. It looks great too.
Yeah the 955 first series with the 4.5ltr v8 was the most capable they ever made,i got 1 cheap at the auctions for $7k with 180kms non turbo its pretty capable even with road tyres on. Very reliable aswell so far.
Even walking on Redhead beach is hard, especially in summer when the sand is hot, omg the burn! Very beautiful and you guys showcased the coastline and Oka nicely! Great video, great rescue, this is what we are excited about!
Best tip I can give you for quicker inflation times is to remove as much resistance as possible - I.e remove the valve stems, run multiple hoses (like the indeflate system), even change out the tyre valves to big bore agricultural ones. You can also make your own inline tyre inflator pretty easy with a pressure gauge, T piece, ball valve tap and a few airhose fittings so you can walk away from the inflator while it’s doing its thing and also have a lot less resistance then a normal inflator. Do those things and your refill time will be halved at least. ‘Unidan’ also have a good video on their TH-cam about filling up unimog tyres that has a few good tips in it 👌
@@KarstanAndMaxine I'll second what benfarmer says. We run 37" tyres on an Isuzu NPS 75/155 and we also have a central tyre inflation system. This doesn't have valve cores in the valve stems, otherwise you couldn't deflate and inflate tyres on the run. From sand tyre pressure to full road pressure takes around 12 minutes, give or take. This of course is done while you continue driving; slowly at first then with increasing speed as your pressures approach whatever pressures for the road.
Unimog and Oka are cool and remember wot you said Karsten when you did The Holland Track in the Kombi you said when we get the Oka you are going to do the track in winter 🥶 can't bloody wait cheers legends 😄
that thing is excellent. Big advance on the Kombi which I loved. I hope you kept it or it went to a good home. I see you have a new baby. Lovely. She' s happy
Yeh the oka has proven it's an off-road beast. Used in many applications from defense to rescue. The 2 Ambos you saw are new to them with more coming. Designed to assist in flood prone and fire emergencies where rescue is difficult
Congratulations on an awesome vehicle - you have done a great fit-out! I have owned an ex army Unimog for seven years and I have just finished an expedition build on a 1994 Isuzu FTS 700 4x4 with rear diff lockers. It does not compare to the Unimog for 4x4 capability, but it is a good second best? The reason I am telling you this is that when I got into really soft sand or a steep sand dune to get over, I would let my big tires down to 25 PSI and it would roll up over the the sand dune and the same for soft sand. The Isuzu is a bigger and heavier vehicle (12,500kgs) than the Unimog and I have super single rims and tires which are 385/??/22.5 - They are the same size as the Unimog's and I let them down to 25 PSIG in the front and 30 PSIG at the back. I have done approximately 15,000kms in the vehicle (most of it in the sand on the west coast of WA) since I built it and have had no problems? Go slow and don't hoon when the tires are down and you will not get bogged - In the sand dunes of Lancelin the tourist busses run big trucks/busses like the Isuzu and they have them at 25 PSIG all round! Happy days and again a fantastic vehicle.
Love the excitement you guys show just being in that Beast? 🥰 Did the guy you recover have recovery points? That bit made me nervous thinking his front end would rip off 😱🫢🤣
You guys made that look so easy considering the weight ay. I’m looking forward to just how far will the oka go. Height I recon will be the only down fall.
Those will be be the Unimogs NSW just purchased for things like flood rescue: NSW Ambulance will roll out eight specially designed vehicles known as Hazardous Area Rescue Ambulances (HARA), the first of their kind in the world, optimising response capabilities during natural disasters and in difficult terrain. They’re built to go through flood waters up to 1.2m and through fires.
They are amazing !! The external bar work are fire suspension systems .. charged with high pressure water .. also squirters on the wheels .. incredible gear !
I’m worried that they are only 4023 models because 10.3t is their. max GVM so if what one of their drivers was saying that they running at about 10t that’s close to their max and I’ve heard that they had a few issues with the springs on them. The 5023s go up to 14.5t. Nice vehicles though.
Looks like max is still on air suspension…he better make sure it’s 100% and he changes the connection arms on those air shocks sensors as they go brittle, break and the suspension will drop..better take spare sensors ..
Tyre pressure does have a big part to play and so does the footprint of the tyre especially when it comes to unlevel weights of the vehicle. If your road pressure is let's say 60 psi with a footprint of 30 cm that's on the front and 60 psi on the rear any footprint might be 35 cm because you have extra weight now your rear tires are working harder than the front which will heat up more. When you're on the beach and your lower to let's say 35 Psi which is still very safe make sure all four tires are the same footprint and at this point they might be 40 cm footprint which means you could have for demonstration as 40 psi rear 35 Psi front because of the back being heavy it's all level and same footprint at this point your vehicle will love you because everything is working exactly the same no stress on your Driveline more safer and comfortable to drive on beach or Simpson Desert.
Great in formation .. Yeah we ran 20psi in the front and 30psi in the rear and it went great ... had another play with lesser pressures also to see the difference .. 15 front and 20 rear and it was unstoppable ..when these X force tyres are all let down to 10psi you get a foot print of 1.2sqm .. so crazy
6:28 Karsten, please don't be one of those annoying people who operate simplex on a repeater input channel - channels 31 to 38 & 71 to 78 are UHF repeater input channels. The OKA performs well on the sand! Cheers!
@@BevitronHey mate, as someone who has learnt to think outside the box in life along with over 3 decades in the automotive industry I've seen plenty of surprises along the way. In being a fan of Porsche Safari and rally vehicles along with their history, I realise your choice is less common amongst the norm though appreciate that regardless of the badge each vehicle has its strengths and weaknesses. Good stuff for also thinking outside the box and will keep an eye out for you around the country. Cheers:)
I agree with your suggestions. I'm in my mid 70's now, but I grew up pre-school in Western Qld on white plains that reflected a lot of sunlight. I was very surprised aged around 60 when I started to have an eye issue. I was referred to a specialist ophthalmologist doctor by my ophthalmologist to find that I either had a melanoma or a mole in one eye. The specialist ophthalmologist explained that the eyes and the skin come from the same place in the embryo, both can be damaged by UV rays almost equally. Please consult with an eye specialist to check what I'm saying, fortunately for me it appears I only have a mole, time will tell. If it is a melanoma there are basically two ways to treat this in Australia that was explained to me. If it is near the surface, surgery may be an option, if it is deep(ish) then as the brain is only around 20mm away, removal of the eye is what I was told may happen to my eye.
I think you guys have sparked a resurgence in the OKA as the ultimate four wheel drive machine. Loving your adventures. 🤘
Possibly! haha thank for following along !
That was great beach driving. I would have thought you would have a winch on the front of the Oka.
Those rescue Unimogs looks awesome, but your OKA truck brutally awesome🤙
Thanks 👍
Yesssss! Thanks guys, missed ❤it
Our pleasure!!!
Last year I saw a Cayenne pulling a small van in Wyperfeld NP. Another legend.
Time to do killy loop. I got bogged at red head years ago with a mate dan smith. He had a kia, it was 2am, we may have been stoned, anyway thanks to the local cops that came and saved us lol. Silly teens.
Love the new rig, so happy you guys are back.
Glad to see that the sand test was successful on my local beach. Fraser will be fun. Looking forward to seeing how you guys go.
Damn that truck is gorgeous. I have always loved Okas.
we share the love !
Can't wait to see what shenanigans you get up to.

I live in Nelson Bay it's so cool to have these beautiful beaches so close to home. School holidays and weekends can get hectic but.
Thanks great show I could see that beast on ninety mile beach north land NZ.
It’s beginning to feel like the Karstan and Maxine show again.😂❤Yeah I’m sold on the Oka now. Well done and where’s your new destination taking us punters? Starting to get excited. 😅
I love how karstan turns into an excited kid waking up at Christmas morning when he sees mud 😂

Money no object😂
@@leesydneyharry7958like some of American "ute" owners out there. Mr LivBig and his 430k worth of Silverado for instance.

Oh, the memories of driving that beach in the early morning and fishing in the old Ford Raider. Now on the Tiwi Islands 4 wheeling everyday.
Great to see you explaining the importance of tyre pressure on the sand most of the people who get bogged have been to lazy or to ignorant to do it.
Unimog and Oka are cool and remember wot you said Karsten when you did The Holland Track in the Kombi you said when we get the Oka you are going to do the track in winter 🥶 can't bloody wait cheers legends 😄
haha yes I did say that haha damn haha guess I have to do it now haha
You know you have to it now but let me know I will come with you it will be a good laugh cheers legends 😄
I missed youy guys
As a Unimog owner I am just drooling…..
Btw, when having a truck and recover a 4wd, use the gear matching the lighter vehicle
Haha yeah after seeing the video I'm surprised I didn't rip the front off the ute off haha
that thing is excellent. Big advance on the Kombi which I loved. I hope you kept it or it went to a good home. I see you have a new baby. Lovely. She' s happy
yes still haver the kombi ... we will be upgrading it for a Cape York trip next year !!
@@KarstanAndMaxine excellent thanks
Thank you, great to see the truth all finished. Wishing you safe travels, from Brisbane.
Thanks for watching! Feeels great to be done ✅

Glad to see you guys back on TH-cam,safe travels!!
Really enjoyed this video. My first time watching. My only complaint is the loud music.
I like the ambo has the onboard inflat deflat , just choose tyre pressure from cabin^^ Dakar spec
yeah its pimp
My cup is full after watching this video 😂
Hahaha
Love the excitement you guys show just being in that Beast? 🥰
Did the guy you recover have recovery points? That bit made me nervous thinking his front end would rip off 😱🫢🤣
haha it looked like it through that ute around that's for sure
Love the truck you should give it a run on stockton.
Yeah one day! We’ve left the area now!
Good luck on you!
Thank you!!
Great to have you back. But GoPro advice should have disclaimer
They are shite 😅
old ones weren't great that's for sure had them since the first release.. new ones are completely different ..no issues at all
Max you are very excited 😂
Hahaha I was cracking up editing this one ... had to cut out so money HOLY MOLYS .. she was in her element !
@@KarstanAndMaxine so good to see you both so happy 😁 🤙
Nice one guys, bring on the adventure.....
That Porsche needsa snorkel.
Thanks for the share 🤙👍
Yep he is upgraded plot since this drive .. diff lockers and having two snorkels with Donaldson filters
Your a truckie chick now 🎉🎉 💯👍👍
Hahaha woohoo !!
As long as the computer doesn't fail, that Porsche might be fun...
Haha it sounds epic
Maxine that was dangerous driving,,,
Jesus, that Oka is a savage beast... Just freakn awesome. To bad there is none in the EU...
there are a few .. but older ones .. some in South Africa also ..
You guys made that look so easy considering the weight ay. I’m looking forward to just how far will the oka go. Height I recon will be the only down fall.
yeah height is a problem at 3M .. I predict ill be in the roof rack with a chain saw haha
Porsche + caravan + tracks + dust n water 😂🤦♂️
Saw a big VW ‘Toe-rag’ thinking he could do the same last year …. Lucky he had RACQ ultimate!
HAHAHAHA
Do you have the number for RACQ Ultimate? Asking for a friend 😂😂
Im still trying to get my head around tyre pressures on my 1.5t Suzuki 😂 26 psi on road, I think I was told around 15 for the beach
Those will be be the Unimogs NSW just purchased for things like flood rescue:

Does the OKA feel top heavy ❓
that was fun!
sure was haha ... now for the desert !
@@KarstanAndMaxine come to Quartzsite Az. it is finally under 110 F. If that sounds familiar- I sold Boomerang to Ben and Leah from "Kombi Life"
Run a ring line around the chassis with 5 quick connects, so much faster to pump up your tyres.
yeah we have the in deflate ... I guess it just the 20 psi to 75 psi on massive tyres that makes it a mission
@@KarstanAndMaxine you don’t have air as part of the truck right? No engine driven compressor or tanks? (I have nearly 300psi on tap)
being a Hamradio guy I was curious what you are using for Radios on the OKA?
We have the GME xrs atm with both 3db and 9db antennas
Better hope those cats don't go out on that Porsche 😮 coil rig never see those here in the West of California seen a blue older benz once 🤌😎
Think I passed you guys today heading Lismore way ?
Haha yep that was us
What air compressor are you using? We’re thinking of going with a 240v one as like you we have a great inverter and charging system
The air compressor is mechanical .. built into the Cummins engine .. it pumps the tanks for the air brakes etc
Looks like max is still on air suspension…he better make sure it’s 100% and he changes the connection arms on those air shocks sensors as they go brittle, break and the suspension will drop..better take spare sensors ..
Thanks for the advice Ian. I’ve already replaced the links and have redone the upper bushes :)
Oops OKA 🤙
🤙🏻
I love the Porshe for its uniqueness....
This whole video I’m trying to work out what was missing. Where’s Zu???😊
It was her last week of daycare before we headed off!!
