Great series on the VHC. Very grateful that you are getting out there and creating such amazing content. Someday I will get to Australia and drive those tracks. Great work Buddy.
Pete's GU called Doug is a stock 3.0 diesel. Stock manual & gears. Arb air lockers front & rear. 2 - inch lift on the rear & 3 -inch on the front. 35' Mickey Thompson tyres beadlocked. Springs & shocks Idk what brands but the steering damper is OME. I've never seen a detailed walkaround anywhere on TH-cam so hope this helps someone a bit.
I was wondering if that is the same gu I saw in one of Shaun and Graham videos till he confirmed it.. It's really an ultimated vehicle on another level.. love it.
You do great vids Tyler. This VHC series really helped planning my first VHC trip which I did a couple of weeks ago including several of the same tracks. BTW your stuff is way better than Ronnie's. Excellent content, video and editing and love your personal style.
What a great series mate , the vhc is such a great place and everytime i visit i just want to go again and again. I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t even need a map to navigate around there. Good to see the ultimate 9 rig on one of your trips 🤠👍. Fantastic camera work all round on this trip and I reckon you would have been bugged after 9 or so days of doing that. Thanks again for a great series. Cheers shad .
Fantastic series. Nicely done Tyler 👍 3-4yrs ago now, a crazy (some might even say "stupid") mate and his girlfriend tackled Billy Goat Bluff track on an almost stock standard Subaru Outback. The only (very slight) modification was a set of mild AT tyres. Photos proves they made it. But they were lucky as they went when the track was dry and looked like it was recently grated.
That is believable, I drove my 1989 Subaru DL Wagon up Billy Goat's in the late 1990s. It was dry, but hadn't been graded, I got hung up once on a rock ledge and required a push from some blokes on bikes who were a little inquisitive as to how I had managed to get so far. All I had was low range and some decent snow tyres and youth on my side.
We just wrapped up our fist VHC trip, it sure is amazing! We were towing a TVAN through much of the same area you drove, my favourite being the drop from Howitt High Plains down King Billy Track, just stunning country...
Love your work Tyler. Quality footage and narration. Would be interested to know if there are any areas you would avoid during the winter season in the high country whilst on a solo vehicle mission. Cheers mate, keep it up!
great video! really enjoyed the extra effort you put in to filming this one all the angles to get the most of the views ! displayed the huts nicely and the EVC Nissan GU Patrol walkaound was cool to see ! well done ! looks like u had a great trip !
I've camped at Lovick's Hut during heavy rain. Whilst we didn't use it for shelter another family with little kids spent the (much drier) night in there. Great track in and out.
Another great clip and what a trip mate, I'll get down there one day ! 😉. The only thing though, - cutting firewood in a National Park, it's a no go. From what I understand, and I happily stand corrected, you cannot collect firewood within all National Parks in Victoria, the same rule as here in NSW. I checked a while back with Nationa Parks here and they said it's a definite no, even to collecting small sticks etc to get your fire started - you MUST take all wood in with you if you intend to have a fire. You're not allowed to use chainsaws either in National Parks either so cutting firewood off the end of fallen trees with a chainsaw, mate they'll be onto you. Hefty fines apply. We all need to remember to follow the rules and regulations, no matter how much we may disagree with the logic behind it, otherwise it just adds more nails in to the off roading coffin and we all lose out. Keep up the good work mate and safe travel.
Yeah as far as I'm aware that isn't correct mate, in Victoria National Parks you allowed to collect firewood for campfires, you just can't remove fire wood from the park. Someone else commented this same thing on this video if you scroll down and multiple people corrected him saying that is not correct
@@TylerThompson90 yeah I appreciate what you're saying, as I said, I'm happy to be corrected if I was wrong. I know though they do have certain times when you are and aren't allowed to collect firewood and I think, if you went in December 2020 / January 2021 ( guessing by your usually editing / releasing time frame ), you would be outside of their "allowable window" of seasons of Autumn and Spring so just be careful that's all. Their fine is $660 odd - ouch !!!! Either way mate, keep up the good work. Cheers bud
it amazes me the difference in vehicles in the US to do what you do we would use a jeep on 1 ton axles 40"tires 4link 6" lift lockers 538gear doubler transfer case big motor big powerful v-8 motors
Another great vid Tyler. Love the Vic HC. If only I had a construction/vehicle repair/auction/insert money making company here, I could upgrade my Rig to TH-cam video standard, at company cost with all the mods. 😞
Hi Tyler, I am planning to do some of the high country in a week or 2, enjoyed you video with your boy. Pete from EVC throttle controls with the Patrol, 35 inch bead locks, 3 inch lif in the front & 2 in the rear. I have heard mixed info on bead locks, 35 on patrols & lift kits. I am in Victoria & I know the rules differ from state to state. The engineer I am using for my "partly" GU build, has told me no Bead locks, the biggest rim I can legally go is 33inch with a limit on tyre size, I think it was 275, & a max lift of 2 inch lift, that is engineered certified with a GVM upgrade to 3.5 t. So once Pete is about to drive off the dirt on to the bitumen, to go home, does he have a support crew waiting with a change of road types in the trailer for him??? & with a 3 inch lift in the front & @ in the rear, I am thinking he must of done more to it to get it to sit level. You did not ask the hard hitting questions Tyler which just invites trouble makers like me her want to know! :0) So did you ask him off camera?
I took my no lift no experience four wheel drive up billy goats, I did get hung up on a washout but I just backed down and went around it, so it’s not all that bad
I can’t decide if this is such a beautiful episode because of your camera skills, or because of the location… Bit of both really. But I’m leaning towards the first. Cheers
Hey Tyler great video! Some friends and myself are thinking of going on the exact route that you went on after watching this video, everything looked really nice and good for the missus as well. If it isn't to much trouble is there any chance we could get a track list of your route? Thanks mate
Gday Mate love your videos they are well done I get my Rexton Ultimate this month and am looking forward to touring. During the 80s I was in the Army a company from my Battalion did a two week navigation exercise in the highlands a section of them swore blue they were followed for days by a Yowie everyone just took the piss out of them, but over the years I think about it whenever I’m out bush I’ve never seen or smelt any signs of Yowies my bizarre question to you is have you ever felt you weren’t alone in the Vic High Country?
Yep have a listen to the Lovicks story about what happened up at Lovicks hut. If you half believe in yowies and the like it will make the hairs on your neck stand up.
We were sleeping in Yarrangobilly National Park one night and just as the sun was coming up we heard a huge Gum fall down very close by, bit of a freaky moment.
Grouse vid. 16 mile jeep track would have been fun in the wet? Just a little word of warning, just be careful running the drone in national parks. My boss nearly got fined by the rangers using his drone at bluff hut. Luckily someone was camping there with a dog, which took the rangers attention 😅
@@stavio12 i assume all year round, but not 100% sure. I think you might be able to get permits to use a drone in national parks? Perhaps thats what tyler did?
@@MRMOPARMAN0426 Yeah there are a few rules regarding the VHC that most people are not clear about. Best to know them through comments than not know them at all.
Great series mate, thanks for the effort. Can I ask what RPM your dad's Isuzu engine is doing at 100kmh on the freeway? Wondering about tyre size for my Dmax. Cheers

@@leonkane8240 You're correct, I fluffed that one. To help with weight on the front. Thanks for picking that up, I'll correct my comment.

‘Sunday too far away’
Great vision. Thanks Kai and Tyler! 👍🏻🙏🦘
Great episode and seriesTyler. Some of the video and drone footage in this is your best yet.

As always another epic adventure! Keep rolling those bloopers mate they’re golden 🤣

easy peasy

Would have been epic to see the two gu's going for it
might be in the future
Whens the warmest time to go in the VHC? I would like to go so I can enjoy the water without freezing my nuts off, not sure how you do it TT! 🤔
summer mate but can still be freezing down there any time of the year
Definitely need to get kai a shirt made up about being the designated snack eater on your trips
might be a good idea so no one gets confused lol
