A pair of cheap handheld walkie talkies might have came in handy here to help guide the caravan through the narrow rutted tracks. Cheaper than scratching and denting your caravan.
Here in America, Google Maps sucks as well. Took us down a three hour washed out road with super soft sand in the middle of the night while we were pulling our trailer. Thank god for four wheel drive!
Yer Jake, go the Troopy! You won't go wrong. I've owned 2 troopers and now have a 76 series and I'm really lovin how simple it is and how much DIY I can do on it as well! Phil
Here I am at home on the Eastern Shore, had a laugh when I saw Jake's Eastern Shore tshirt. Great video, loved the springs and Lil's hair flips, Croc experience cool, Hazel's grooming, skurfing so much fun loved it all, stay safe, keep having fun. 👏👏👏👏💃🕺🐕
Hi Guys great video as usual always a laugh Lil…I know you were in NT but what beach were you at? Sometimes you forget to mention where you’re at lol ….looked like fun 🙋🏻♀️😊
Hi guys, I bought a crocodile teeth I lost my right leg above the knee in a major truck accident. I get sick and tired of people asking me what happened to your leg so I’ve made up a good story on the south alligator river in the NT barramundi fishing. I caught a 2 1/2 foot Barra in the boat and a 15 foot drop them screaming out the water and took my leg off. Lucky I was there with three other mates that hold me in the boat and the crocodile was doing a death roll LOL
You can’t beat Toyota for reliability and build. The 79 series are awesome ( Troopy ) I prefer the V8 but the new 2.8 auto is a good choice. Resale value is also a factor to consider.
We've got a Troopy and love the performance and where it takes us but the comfort level not gunna be at the Ranger level. The corrugations can be pretty bloody awful. And on another note, last weeks vlog. Your channel, your choice what content to put up. Just remember you can't please all the people all the time and no matter what you do there'll always be whingers. Keep going guys you're fun to watch
I stopped using google maps for 4WD routing years ago in favor of Hema maps after google took me thru 2 private roads, a swamp plain, a farmers property and a track that hadn't been driven for years which I barely got out of.
Thought that by now you would have satellite navigation maps. Google maps is hopeless. Really enjoyed this episode but can't imagine how you could handle Lil telling you every 5 minutes how uncomfortable the top heavy gutless troopy is! Haha
I see a Titanium hybrid in your future.😉 You're right Jake, Lil is good at what she does.🥰 Cracker night is insane, poor Hazel.😢 Stay safe, love you guys. ❤️
Just remember, if you do you buy a Toyota have you got Toyota money you gotta change the alternator you gotta change diff airbox etc etc the troop is the top-heavy I reckon the V6 Ranger is the way to go and with the box you got at the back use it for the rangerV6 you have a great setup
Hahahaha, after your van was scratched up, the look on your face Lil was priceless. Could I give you a little advice, you can tell to get stuffed if you want. Please it only makes the situation worse, oh, this is really bad, what are you going to do, do you think we are going get out. I'm sure Jakes is shitting himself, also I'm sure Jake knows what he is doing, but sometimes shit happens and if you do get stunk, that is part of doing trips like this, getting yourself out is part of the fun.
What do you mean Jake, you can’t even drive up there…….you just did!!!! Maybe not in a standard 2 wheel drive car. If there was room for you to turn the whole rig around, why didn’t you?? I honestly think taking those types of tracks is half the fun
To the Troop Carrier question, that's a big NO. Hopeless 4x4, the tracking (front width, rear width) is all wrong, the rear leaf hangers get hung up on everything ect ect. For the money that you pay for one and the 'included' accessories are very minimal. Sorry, I'm a Landcruiser man, but the 79 series and Troop Carrier's are Hopeless!
Thanks Jake and Lily for sharing an other awesome video really enjoyed it. Girls must have some big Vagina Balls lol because going swimming in that tank with the Crocodile. That swimming water hole looked amazing with a beautiful waterfall going into it. I’m always looking forward to seeing you both on Saturday next episode 😊❤
Just got to the part where you said, what do you think of the Troopy. I know it doesn't matter what I think, but please DON'T GET A FREAKING TROOPY. You said there is not a lot you need to do to them, OMG, you need to spend a fortune on these dinosaurs, low powered 5 speed manual bucket of c..p. Oh, I forgot one of the most stupid design things, well not really a design issue, it's just Toyota can't be bothered to fix it, terrible car.
Hey guys, we love watching your vids and your normalness. But really dislike when you blaspheme Jesus’ name. I understand you may not even be aware of this but I’m sure we’re not the only ones who take offence to this. Cheers Joel

That look of disgust at 2:42 Jacob, mate, you're in the dog house for that one👌
Keep up the videos love your work Jake, always humorous.

That’s why the old school vans use the stucco rippled tin.. don’t have to be precious with it
Great episode. Bell's Gorge and Tunnel Creek are incredible. Fabulous to see them again with you guys. xx

Hi guys, wow what a crazy trip this week anyway looks like you got through it always enjoy the videos , cliff from Australia
Great video like always. How do you decide where you're going next? Love you guys, keep making these wonderful videos.
Thank you so much! 🤍 We usually have a rough idea of direction but just work it out along the way. 😂
Loving the videos guys !
Thank you! 🤩 same to you! Loving the desert videos at the moment, the alien gets me every time!
2.8 Ronny Dahl modified Troopy!
Google maps is only an assistant for off roading you really need to carry paper road maps to double check, carnt beat old school guys
Go a troopy! Toyota all the way haha
TROOOOOPPYYYY!! Hell yeah
You can’t beat Toyota for reliability and build. The 79 series are awesome ( Troopy ) I prefer the V8 but the new 2.8 auto is a good choice. Resale value is also a factor to consider.
It’s an off-road van don’t worry. Your using it for what it was meant for .
We've got a Troopy and love the performance and where it takes us but the comfort level not gunna be at the Ranger level. The corrugations can be pretty bloody awful. And on another note, last weeks vlog. Your channel, your choice what content to put up. Just remember you can't please all the people all the time and no matter what you do there'll always be whingers. Keep going guys you're fun to watch
Love the performance, in standard form it's terrible.
I stopped using google maps for 4WD routing years ago in favor of Hema maps after google took me thru 2 private roads, a swamp plain, a farmers property and a track that hadn't been driven for years which I barely got out of.
We all felt every scratch on the van 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈
Me too! Every time I close my eyes I see caravan destruction. 😅
@@lilandjake Hahaha, you are both so funny and entertaining 🦘🦘🦋🌸🐬🌺
And Hazel looks Gorgeous she is a very big part of the family now.🌸 🐶 💖
What towing mirrors are they?
@@thomasbreed6200 hey legend they’re san hima from vic off-road
The road your on is a service road for the electricity company note the power wires above you head.
Thought that by now you would have satellite navigation maps. Google maps is hopeless. Really enjoyed this episode but can't imagine how you could handle Lil telling you every 5 minutes how uncomfortable the top heavy gutless troopy is! Haha
You need HEMA maps!
Get the map book and the satellite map!
Google maps...I have a camp-fire story for you about me, Barrington tops and Google maps.
I see a Titanium hybrid in your future.😉 You're right Jake, Lil is good at what she does.🥰 Cracker night is insane, poor Hazel.😢 Stay safe, love you guys. ❤️
Hmmmmm! Maybe!!! 🤔 damn, thanks Mark! 🤍 honestly it was wild!!! Cannot believe how rouge it was hahaha. 🤣

Also watch on TH-cam laps and maps there are two people doing mechanic Work at Mount Dare
It’s ok with experience you will get better, and cut the bushes back next time
Google Maps 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

The pool to be croc safe , u guys were skirfing in the water

Yeh, apparently you actually do have to do alot to a troopy, just saying 😊
Spot on, need to spend a small fortune, and I still don't get them, but that's just me.

Many people PPF their vans
No one uses google maps

Lesson learnt. Do not trust google maps
Your dog is getting groomed do it yourselves
Buy another Ranger don't buy a troopy
Bad advice.
