  • The boys wake up at a magic Old Telegraph Track camp on the banks of the Dalhunty River. They leave early with goals of tackling Gunshot Creek in the 4wds with enough time left in the arvo to explore the magic Fruitbat and Elliot waterfalls at the halfway point.

    A lot of bullbar manufacturers should put slots on the aerial mounts makes removal easy as radios never work as well with a joint in them imo .

      Totally agree from memory an old arb bar I had did have a slot but this tjm one does not 😪
      In hindsight I should’ve cut a slot into it before sending it off considering they were re painting it 🤷‍♂️

      You’ve given me an idea. I’m going to fit my own winch soon, I’ll cut a slot into the UHF mount so I don’t have to pull out the coax cable which I’ve tied off high up behind my head unit.

    Great episode! You picked the right time to go - late season and dry, low water and not many people.
    I’m a motor loss assessor and sadly that UHF BS isn’t uncommon. You boys have ABN’s, invoice your insurer under that claim for the repair- they can open the claim and cash settle you. Then they’ll stick a negative supplementary into the repairer for that amount. 😂

    18:10. High ho silver awayyyyy.........18:13 High ho silver awayyyy. Thats sending it. I remember at a sandy hill up the cape years ago 5 utes trying time and time to conquer this hill off a creek. 1st one up had to tow the other 4. Funny part we were all strangers who just couldn't make it up that flamin sandy hill. The iron range/ pascoe/chilli beach/ was terrifying after rain but a highlight. full on 4x4 for that era. Great episode again fellas.

      It was bloody soft sand! but mostly the auto in the ranger kept changing gears at the wrong time and killing momentum. Marc has done some research and worked out how to lock out gears for future attempts. Yeh I would imagine that would get pretty wild out that way after some rain! Sounds like a bloody fun trip! 👍

      This was about the 25th of November last year.
      Only saw 3 or 4 other cars on the whole Tele track. It turned out to be the perfect time of year to go but we were really lucky with the rain. It started a week or two after we left and hasn’t stopped.

    Great vid. Enjoying this content greatly.
    Brilliant musical editing.
    Still undecided if this channel is a genuine 4wd adventure channel or just satire.
    Is Marc related to Mark Zuckerberg? Like the funny cousin?
    Looking forward to the next instalment.

    Don't feel bad Stevie, I too hit one of those stupid, too low, invisible poles (possibly even the same one) at FBF a couple of years back. Put a big dent in my rear bar but no panel damage - a bit embarrassing though, eh? Great series boys!

    Was this trip done in October? There’s no one else around & the water is so low in many places. I’ve been 3 times, Aug, June & July. Wouldn’t mind a September trip though when it’s warmer & fewer people.

    18:37 with a short run up like that, are you able to lock the auto into a gear before you hit the climb?

    • @TrueNorthAdventures
      @TrueNorthAdventures  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      No even in the “manual” mode it still decides to change gear for you if it’s revs get high.
      There is a setting we forgot to try where you can lock out gears. Eg reduce it down from 10 gears to now only having the bottom 8 or 5 or 3 (in that scenario) I think then it won’t change.
      The lock out is typically used when towing heavy trailers. It is recommended to just got up to 7 as 8,9 and 10 are overdrive gears and shouldn’t be used when towing big loads

    • @mitchellvangrieken3900
      @mitchellvangrieken3900 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah right. I thought auto was superior for sand driving these days, but it might still have a few short comings in very specific scenarios. Even a top end lock out could change you down a gear if you back off the accelerator for a second. Cheers
