Thanks for the support!
Seeing the Unimog in its natural environment is fantastic. What a machine. By far the best Unimog content on TH-cam, there is nothing better. Thanks for the footage.
Best footage of a Mog in its natural environment on the WWW at the moment!
Excellent stuff and nice driving there Chris!
Thanks for sharing.
awesome lines guys!! ...you definitely should progress into spotting those very difficult lines though (to keep your hearts in your chests) and put the camera on a tripod. As in all things practice practice practice will make you unstoppable. Congratulations to you both!
Awesome vlog. Has to be the best that you have ever put out. Well done for tackling the Frenchman's.
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing.
That river run sealed the deal for me. I'm definitely building my rig on a MOG platform. The axel articulation blew my mind.
Have you considered a a Pinzgauer.
Awesome off road, more interior room than a regular 4x4 but can fit on most 4x4 tracks cos it's not as thicc?.
Either way, best of luck with your projec 👍
What an absolute mog beast 👏 sick track and flex going on! in its element. loving this vid so much guys! keep it up!
wow the mog is impressive! great driving so cool to see it on some hard tracks
That looked epic, scary. Well done, you made it 😀
Heart in mouth viewing. Well done Bowser, Chris & spotter Ange. Take care.
Thanks
No stopping the mighty mog , unreal driving , great team.👍
Impressive, some nice, scary lean angles there. I am with you Chris, change of clothes required after that.
WOW! My heart was sitting in my mouth!! Scary stuff! Well done to all three (😂) of you!
Great episode, this is the type of content I've been hanging out for from you guys - the Mog dominating tough tracks! Putting the 4wd 24/7 boys to shame! Keep it up. 👍👍
That's awesome guys! No point having a beast of a MOG if you aren't going to have a crack at these tracks !! Loved the look on Ange's face as you started to tip 🙂
What a drive. Great Mog and not a bad driver either. Be safe.
We’ll done Chris its cool to see the capabilities of the mighty mog and your willing to challenge it
The rivercrossing was awesome - Mog's land ! As Ange's face was when the Mog lifted the wheels. 🙃
Awesome drive guys. Good to see the mog is looking after you. Well done Chris on steering it through safely and Ange your a champion running up and down those hills getting all this great footage.😃
That is some seriously impressive 4x4ing, well done.
wow can't believe how far you have came with your 4x4 capabilities, heart in mouth with angles and near roll, so impressive!
So many boring 4wd vids out there but this was really interesting. That trucks a beast!
Hey Chris and Ange! That Mog seemed to make it look too easy!! Bet you guys having tons of fun! Keep up the great productions - love seeing what you guys get up to!!
Great vid very entertaining. Very good footage. I was there at the same time but all my footage makes everything look flat. Your camera angles show what it is really like 👍
That is really intense driving skill. The truck is designed for a military purpose and kudos to the driver again.
Well done guys. Cudos on having the stones to take on the Frenchmans in a rig that size. Fantastic content 👌
I had a little panic attack and changed my undies just watching that. Great driving and vid!
Unimog - A german engineering masterpiece, from a time when "Made in Germany" really meant "Best quality you can get!" - Totally different to today... btw. very nice video!
Very skilful driving
Best episode ever. You guys are really starting to push the limits on the mog, that was quite a technical track - well driven Chris!
A fantastic effort getting the mog through frenchmans.Will lift your confidence no end .Ange you spotted well only minor damage ,would have been none except for the tree root .Stay on top of the weather forecasts now as you head further south Some intense rain events coming in. Stay safe and enjoy
Wow, what a mission. Driving skills and confidence in going for it have tripled. Well done guys.
I wonder if you could fit protective bar work or light steel plate over certain areas like your diesel heater? I guess it's a balancing act, weight vs protection. 🤔. You've got some guts taking that on your own through those places, I have to say! 👍🇦🇺
Awesome track and very brave enough to tackle this challenge where no one else did it with such large vehicle.
You guys both are living the dream and you're content is extremely wellade,be proud of yourselves
Epic driving and filming guys. Phew..tense times!!!
That Frenchman must have been drunk laying this out! Epic footage.
change browsers name to crusher after that one.
Fantastic effort. A beautiful pet of the country.
In the last few shoots I spotted your chairs. What brand are they. 😊
Thank you Stuart for watching! The chairs are Zempire Roco Lounger, we recommend them 👍
Wooooo dude. When I saw your two wheels come off the ground and she stopped filming that was it. Oh man. My heart stopped. Wow , so glad you guys are ok. But that was the coolest 👍🏻
Hey Chris great effort driving the Mog through that! Add a working group gear set to your growing shopping list - will make this kind of tracks so much easier.
Awesome work filming and driving the Mog through some really tough looking areas there, well done, you guys rock. Great that with all the footage Ange gets, Chris can review his driving and tweak his technique for best possible way to drive that huge Mog in the more tricky tracks.
What's really apparent is that Chris needs to be spotted and Ange is going to have to step up. I was sitting here going "go right!! go right!!" There were a few times where Chris was on a bad line. he must choose the line that keeps both front wheels at the same height. It s the front with the engine that has priority.
Yep, lesson 1: Look at the bonnet and try to keep it level to the horizon. Easy trick that will 99% of the time put you on the right line.
CHRIS &ANGE, GUYS you have come to some really tough. & tumble roads, But the MOG gets through,stay well, God Bless you, on your journey !,,,,,,,,🇦🇺🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇸
Congrats guys! Your content is getting better and better. This was quite an impressive drive. Well done!
I've driven Unimogs and MBTrac for the best part of 20 years. One question I have about your specific Mog: do you not have an even lower gear set? All the Mogs I've driven had a high, low and creeper range. I'm certain if you had lower gears available some of your drama would have been avoided. AND the comment you make about need your diff locks on, I would suggest would have made your navigation more difficult. Great episode for all that and awesome to see you expand your driving to some technical challenges.
Hi Marty, the Australian ex-army U1700L Unimogs aren't fitted with the Working Group gearbox. It can be sourced but for a very large fee I would imagine
@@TheOutFit can’t remember the exact cost but I think my working group gear set was about 5k plus it needs a few things changed to fit. All up I’d budget 7k. Don’t waste your money on crawler gear group - it’s designed for implement carrier use, extremely slow and not suitable for high torque applications.
Nice work, Mog was flexing more than Chrissy Boy💪😅 Great commitment mate you have bigger balls than me
Wow that was some good 4wding
I Think You Did a AWESOME JOB....Driving and Handling the Rig ....!!! Just professionally smooth. Great video footage Thanks guys
Well driven Angi and Chris 👍 heart in the mouth stuff ye 👍🍻 bet your glad you changed them shockers ye 👍 again WELL DONE you two 👍🍻 take care X stay safe xx luv always Cliff xxxxx 🍀💕😘🙏🍀
Thanks Guys
Looks easy & the camera or video never shows how step it really is.
Plus all the time setting up the shots & making it into one movie.
Great work the Mog went great I had a moment like everyone else did slow & steady is the way.
Great set up same as any American trucks trying to do this there going to do a bit of damage.
All in all it was fantastic to watch nice to sit back & enjoy you adventures safe travels Cheers
In regards to the diff locks, yeah the steering is not as good as without. But I still choose to engage the diff locks and surprisingly enough I did not have to turn them off because I couldn’t make a turn (yet). You feel pretty early if it’s enough steering or not, enough time to turn them off if need be.
Keep in mind the turning circle of a locked Unimog is still less than the turning circle of an unlocked 79 series
This,, was scrolling through the comments to see if someone would make the comment on the diff locks. Good on you guys for taking on this track. But please for your own safety and the safety of others: Use the diff locks. They are there for a reason. The steering is slightly worse, but you were going up in a straight line anyway, so no reason not to have them in. Traction and control is everything. You see how quick things can turn sour if you break traction. Most roll overs happen through losing traction, you roll backwards, steering is on an angle or you hit a hole and brake, and there you go, belly up. It is easy to switch them off for a 90 degree turn, but all other small steering adjustments, you can just leave them on, Enjoy the rest of your trip! A fellow Mog owner.

Awesome episode guys... Must say Chris, expert 4WD driving through all that uneven-terrain... Legend! And Ange, fantastic camera work - documenting the fabulous Mog Action - "Go Bowzer! You good thing!" Well done T.E.A.M!
Best episode to date. Nice work guys.
Good work guys your following has doubled since the last video I watched 🎉❤
Definitely no points lost on that track, (Karstan and max did mog challege lol) Could please note where your apparent Sun is rising and have a quick look on timedate app is that the angle of approach you are seeing ect..It's too far SE of Bris for this time of year. very strange🍻
Cool track, nice driving... but... the mustache?! Why? WHY?!
Wow! Bowser! What a great rig! That was some great 4 wheeling. Bowser made it look easy! You guys ROCK! Fantastic episode!👍🏼
Couple of close calls there with the angles, but still, video demonstrates what Mog’s can do. Imagine when the army crews drive them. Enjoyed the video. Really good to see you pushing it. Even scrambled some eggs on the way.
Frenchman,,, Done. well done, team, great footage! Thanks
Bowser going down that Track was like a Bull in a china closet. The track just seemed so narrow in places that I would be so concerned with damaging something serious. Regardless, enjoyed the video.
A dream can doing tripps like this on the thoughest trails Australias ! Nice too watch your 4x4 tripps on you tube ! I can doo only my 1:10 RC Mog tiny week end Adventures ha ha..
She doesn't seem very impressed with you playing with deadly snakes... Lol
Great driving, Chris! That was a really difficult track, but you made it like a pro!
Ballsy decision to drive that track you two, with most people saying you won't make it.
I know what you mean about 'track stress' but you did it, and that damage is minor.
Marty from Perth
I have been driving Unimog for a cp of years but its a wonderful truck. So guys. Congrat
Awesome video as usual, a bit of a bugger about the lost audio, at least you didn't lose the footage totally. Having the right line is key, also having both the confidence in your vehicle and your own ability helps massively, both of which will come with more technical driving
Good effort
That was some nice driving mate, especially when you did recover the mog. I'd suggest a cam on the front bumper that allows you to see underneath as the mog is notoriously difficult to drive.
Huge respect 😮
Yeah I sure wouldn’t take my machine out there.A chance of rolling it over and totaling it is not worth it.Not to mention if you got stuck in one of those mud holes who is going to get you out. Hopefully a few people would come by with a couple of winches and you might get lucky.That area is no joke. Glad you made it out safe.
Its cool coming back and watching your videos the mog is such a weapon definatly would love to build one for my second trip around aus!!!
Go Bowzer
Nice bit of off roading. Bowser doing what you built it for. Can always change youur underpants in the room on the back. do some off roading so know the feeling.
Définitivement une de vos meilleures vidéos, du moins la plus impressionnante. Après ça, plus rien de pourra arrêter Chris au volant de l'Unimog ! Et Ange toujours aussi class 🥰
This track was not a joke, very well done to both of you
Nice trip and good offroad job. Very clever with the messure tape.
Awesome work Bowser you made it. Great post on a great track and driven so well 👍. NZ
a very challenging nature cruising adventure with interesting extreme terrain for us to visit, thank you for sharing the video
Thanks, your footage,
gives me a more confidence with my Mom!!
That was certainly a pucker up moment. The mog ate it up and handled it awesome. Awesome bit of driving too mate
No words guys…. Absolutely sick!!
Great stuff hey how about a forward facing camera for In-cad spotting 👍👍
Epic drive! Had me on the edge of my seat, I’m sure not many people can say they’ve lifted wheels in a unimog haha
I'm watching you come outa the pascoe and I'm saying stay left stay left lol.
I seen so many people try and get up on that flat to the right and nearly roll, when the line straight ahead is basically a flat run thru down and up.
I am glad that you covered the interior --> loses in the video
UNIMOGS are mighty ! thanks for sharing.
Love it! Do you kids plan on coming to Canada, and doing the Pan-American?
That's definitely a dream on the bucket list!
Very enjoyable to watch and great driving there Chris!
3:10 crazy, that was some serious offroading!
That really was something else, really impressive.😲
Lucky its not going into winter,the Mog slayed it pretty much,nice one team.
What a stressful treck 😱.
Definitely a thumbs up for this video 👍
No need for lockers if you have traction. Just need good spotting.
So that steep exit will now be called Pucker Patch...... had me a few times there
Wow !! That was definitely one for the books.
Good see you putting good videos out nice place your at thanks lee
as we say in Italy, "three pairs of balls"
respect
Enjoyed the video. Great to see the Mog enjoying the track.
Holy crap Chris! You got balls of steel
