Sick Ep guys, What a Gibb combo, Y62 and the moving 5 star hotel room lotus!
Cheers for watching as usual guys! Definitely makes it comfortable! Keen to catch up down south! 🙌🏻
Hi guys, thoroughly enjoyed watching your video of your great experiences. We’ve been 18:44 up and down the GRR 7 times and the memories started flowing back. I want to go again but the body won’t allow it anymore. Enjoy your journey and the experiences 😊😊
I have done the Gibb many times
2017 was last trip
I found it just fine!
Road north to kulumbaru was badly corrugated
Road into Mitchell falls was bloody terrible but it usually is
People need to adjust tyre pressures to suit conditions and SLOW down!
Enjoy the trip !
Last time on the Gibb the only problem was I blew a stop light globe !
I have always had landcruisers but this time I bought a Hilux
If you think these roads are rough don’t attempt the canning stock route !
Cheers guys
Fully agree mate seen so many people not too pressures and just going full noise with someone cracking our windscreen because of it! Love the Gibb it’s a beautiful place! Cheers for watching mate!
great to see all the drone footage....gr8 episode
Thanks for watching mate, appreciate it!
Stunning scenery! Another great episode!
Thanks heaps Clay!
Great vid. tis on the bucket list...
Another fantastic episode team, great advice on shock and wheel bearing temp. Take ya time and get there👍
Absolutely mate its #1! Thanks heaps for watching as usual mate see you on todays episode!
Got to cover the whole scone surface with jam and cream. They know how to make a scone there. I agree, roughness of the road depends on traffic volumes and when the grader went through. Sometimes you get lucky. The camping options increase when not towing. Enjoyed watching this. Brought back some memories.
Absolutely agree with everything you said mate! Appreciate you watching mate! Safe travels 🙌🏻
Awesome video guys, those scones looked pretty good 👍. Im keen to do the gibb one day, hopefully soon .
Cheers shad
Cheers mate bloody good trip! Crowd wise going later was perfect but next time we will be going really early in the season I reckon when everything’s flowing crazy!
Great vid, we did East to West June 2022 and the GRR was like a highway! We did it with a slide on camper, the next time will be with our 2010 Lotus Trooper! Very smooth, Kulumburru Road wasn't though... Home Valley was closed; Elenbrae Scones! Yes Mikayla - Jam then Cream and sometimes even Butter first 😍
Hell yeah thanks for sharing guys! Keen to get back up that way also! Enjoy!
awesome episode Josh, travel safe
Thanks heaps mate!
I've just come across your video and enjoyed it. Top of Down Under did the Oombi Track (TODU - TH-cam). Recently released from a while back. It looks to be a 4X4 killer!
Thanks mate and welcome! I did watch that actually have seen a few convoys heading across, it is most certainly on the to do list! Enjoy the channel mate and see you around the tracks! Josh ☺️
Josh, what's doing with the questions on how to eat a scone big fella! Must say the Toastie looked good though. Great episode team!
Haha I know mate I’m a bit of a scone rookie learning things every day 😆 cheers mate!
Fantastic episode, thanks for that.
Do you find the dark colour of the caravan very hot.
Just ordered one and have to decide between the dark colour or the white one.
Thanks
Pleasure mate thanks for watching! Na not at all mate, if you are in 40 degree heat dark or white will be hot! We have a white Lotus as well and don't notice any difference mate. Cheers Bernard and congrats on the van!
Met a young woman in Kununurra in I think 2013, she drove a Toyota Corolla the length of the Gibb on her own.
Sweet mate! Definately doable and is so different year to year. Cheers for watching mate!
How’s the van holding out? Any dust? We did the gibb a few years ago and our trailer got hammered with dust
Honestly haven’t had one drama mate, had the slightest bit of dust at the foot well at the bottom of the door but that was it. We got a dometic dust reduction system and seems to do the job real well! Seen some pretty damaged vans across our travels but most still just don’t air down and travel way too fast!
@@Travellingcampers very good to hear. We saw our first lotus caravan at el questro and I have wanted one ever since. We pulled the trigger a couple of weeks back on a 19ft trooper. I am watching you guys closely and have my fingers crossed that everything holds up haha. We want to do the Gibb again but in a van this time instead of a trailer! Safe travels and fingers crossed nothing breaks!
How did you find doing the GRR with a dog? Planning on doing next year as part of a bigger trip and our pooch will be with us.
Went really well mate! We have an episode on our channel dedicated to all Q&A’s on travelling with our dog! Jump on and have a look mate to get some ideas for your travels! Thanks for watching! 🍻
Hi guys- I'm about to purchase a Warrior and would like to learn about Tow ball Load and also varying fuel tank load weights.
What suspension mods are needed and what is on your Patrol
Cheers
Hey mate, watch the run down of our Y62 and will answer all your questions! Cheers
Home valley must be one of the only places you can fly a drone ?
Haven't seen you'd before , great video , how you go doing the gibb with your dog ,
Thanks for coming across the channel mate! We had no issues at all, we got up early and did the Gorges she couldn't come to and left her in the van while it was nice and cool. I think it all comes down to how your dog behaves etc with how your experience would be mate. We love taking Jorja around Australia with us! Cheers!
2 questions.
Did you feel you were restricted getting into places with your dog?
Was the motorbike for emergency transport?
Hey Jon! Was quite easy with the dog didn’t restrict us too much we made it work! Also the bike is for exploring mate ☺️
@@Travellingcampers
Hay thanks for the reply mate.
I've been watching/enjoying ur vids.nice bike.
I've watched a few videos of up that way and some had said because of the heat as well as dogs not being allowed in national parks the it was unwise to bring a dog, so I wondered of your expirence or thoughts on this.
Great tips guys did you find it difficult to travel with a dog ? as lots or van parks and national parks prohibit dogs , also did you need to worry about snakes and the 1080 bates everywhere? Any tips please on travelling with your dog would be great thanks !
Hey guys! We have a full episode covering the ins and outs of travelling with Jorja, flick through our channel and give it a look, it will help you guys heaps!
Any issues with dogs on the Gibb? Or plenty of spots without missing out?
Plenty of spots, you’ll make it work!
butter on scons first .. nice episode!!
You have been outvoted there mate haha! Thanks for watching brother
A canvas cover on the ktm would be good to keep all that dust off it
It gets dusty soon as I ride it mate so it’s no stress at all! Cheers for watching mate!
@@Travellingcampers haha yea I guess. If it was me the bike would be inside the van tucked up in bed lol. All good mate enjoy your vids and good riding at them races! 2nd place was a top effort!
How does the van go with dust
Honestly had no issues mate, the Dometic DRS worked really well!
How was the DRS with the dust on the Gibb
Really good mate, we will have a review on it the next few weeks so stay tuned mate!
Tip. Seal savers and cover! For the bike! 🤌🏻🤌🏻 dude! Please! Fuk!
Bike gets dusty as soon as I ride it mate what’s the difference haha. Cheers for watching mate!
good news they are sealing some more of the Gibb - soon thousands and thousands of ordinary people will also be able to enjoy the peace and serenity - great for tourism
Good news for some, not so good for others! Thanks for watching Jim!
Good can't wait
the biggest thing out there is making sure ur ears r tucked in ur hat
Correct 🤠
