Thanks for sharing Roothy! I really enjoy watching the original show. No competition about how cool your car is, just building friendship and sharing time in the Aussie bush with ya mates.
i remember back when theses old patrols where everywhere now there not so common, all the ones you find are either rusted out to the roots or beaten to high heavens. makes me tear up seeing the old show, i can still remember Christmas 8 years ago watching these on the disc sets the old thin plastic cover ones. i loved every minute of footage, the Hustle and effort that went in to those is 10fold to what we see today. thanks for building my childhood roothy i owe it all too you..... merry Christmas to you and your family have a safe one.
I am a loyal Roothy fan, in my opinion never bite the hand that feeds you. It was pretty obvious Roothy was stragically asked to step away or whatever so Graham could take over4wd action or be the main man. It Roothy stride he took it on the chin and moved on... full respect 🙏 for the bloke keep up the good work buddy Australia loves you.. and appreciates you experience and commitment to the 4wd industry..because of you heaps of people got into camping and 4wd driving and cooking, exploring etc.
Or did Roothy, Hasbeen and Johno decide to take a punt on their own doing LowRange. I remember Roothy announcing his leaving to concentrate on the Don't Lock The Gates mission, and 12 months later Low Range came out. Was there a no competition clause for 12 months.? Many questions we will never know for sure.
@Steve Graham Roothy is the gentleman he is and loves the 4wd industry camping etc big business corporations have taken over the industry because big money etc can be made and people's ambitions and ego's are on full show... for everyone to see. True character of a person is always exposed. It doesn't matter what anyone says proof is in the pudding as they say... Sometimes it best just to walk away and let people do what they want. Having your pride intact and reputation is everything. Least said is best said.
I got a 12 month subscription to 4WD Monthly back in the early 2000’s. The promo was a free Kangaroo jack. Sure enough one turned up at the post office for me-good quality one too I still use it all these years later how good is that ay thanks for the memories Roothy
Never seen any of the early stuff I’m purely a TH-cam only fan this is cool to see this stuff be cool to see an episode now where he comes back for one last trip
Bloody awesome, there’s nothing better than watching a video of Roothy on Christmas Day while having a cold beer after all the relatives have gone home 😀👍.
Love the old episodes Roothy and hello from the states! It's so interesting seeing the origins of my favorite 4wd show! Watching the new and old episodes have definitely made me want to come over and check out your beautiful country.
I remember when this guy Graham over took my stock 60 series on Brand Highway in that thing. I could hear his muddies singing on the tarmac as he passed me And I just looked at my passenger and shook my head and said look at this goose. Then I saw him on a 4WD Action dvd And thought I Know that Pootrol and the when I saw the guy that owned it I just thought. Yep it all makes sense now.
Gods country right there. My favourite 4x4 playground. Bogged a shorty bundera out the back of those sand dunes back in 95, 4 hours of digging later. Way before maxtrax were even thought of. Great Times
Great episode, who doesn't like a trip down memory lane,eh? I'm from UK started watching old EP's form different people due to illness back in '18. Got to say it's a wonderful Country. However not knowing the history of what happened after have two channels, can someone give a brief rundown as to what happened?
Roothy I remember the first Toyota s in Canada. Fell in love right away . The Japanese reverse copied the chev 250 cid eng. The Willys bodies wagons , pick ups ect. Great timeless looking trucks. The American built flat head motors were just not that great for a truck. A GMC 292 was good. then& now good Diesel is the way to go!! Cheers Mate. P.S. Hows your lovely wife & family?
Love it If ya feel like making a new friend and helping a fellow Toyota driver out with some body rust one day yell out and I’ll head up north 😂 All the best for the new year
FACT ,Russel Coight is based on Graham Cahill ,the actor who portrays this bumbling fool watched Cahill and could not stop laughing for hours on end and the rest is history
No he didn’t you bullshit artist, Tom Gleisner came up with the character based off Troy Dann, Steve Irwin and the Leyland Brothers, he asked Glen Robbins to do it. Glen Robbins did not come up with the character nor was it based on Graham.
@@lathselman9772 you GOOSE ,you really believed that hahha ,cant believe theres someone out there dumb enough to fall for that ,hahhahah what a peanut ,your not related to Cahill are you hahha
@@paulcanning4702 course not ,although Cahill comes across like a bumbling stumbling Coight wannabe ,Goose seems to know exactly how Russel coight was developed and on who and he threw our aussie legend steve irwin under the bus ,how rude
Anyone know if that Moore River track is still open and the actual location? John mentions Edwards Rd (?) turnoff near Seabird but I cannot for the life of me pinpoint it on a map. 🤷♂️
Hey mate, from what iam aware of it has recently been all fenced off now unfortunately. It is actually all private land anyway. The land owner decided to close it off as he/her was sick of the rubbish left behind in the area and the way people where treating it. This is only what i have hurd. I know it is closed off but not 100% sure if the info of the story is correct.
@@Dylansventures_42I appreciate the info. Shame about the closure, however, if it's true about the clueless bogans ruining the place, then it's to be expected really.
Hi ruthy just wondering if you see many rabbits around in your adventures especially in far south west qld great watching all your vids mate thanks for keeping the dream alive
Wow old school enjoyable episode not full of advertising who's got the better bigger @%#$, and not the same 3 tracks over and over again full of just clapping there cars out
Weirdly feels like looking back 50 years lol, old jocko was just an idea back in these days 🤣
jocko is Graham and roothys love child.. Maybe even from this trip :) 🤣🤣
Jocko still in his dads jocks
"He was just a sparkle in his dads eyes" is how the saying goes
The master and the apprentice! Now Graham is looking like the old fella on the new 4wd247
Thanks for sharing Roothy!

Graham himself is a legend...roothy however,is papa legend 🤘🏻

@Steve Graham you are entitled to your opinion ok
@@peterpetkovic1463 Or you could do some research and see if it is only an opinion.

Totally agree on that

Met both of them @ Birdsville in 2013. Great blokes to talk with, funny and full of knowledge about everything off road. Legend's.

Definitely come over
Thanks, and come on over! Best country in the world, especially for explorers.
I loved seeing the origins of this amazing off-roading show. Great job to both there old and the new!
Love these episodes so much better than the newer ones
I love these classics
They bring back memories
Always looking forward to which one comes next
Love watching the old stuff. Thanks for sharing it for us to enjoy.
One is a legend of Australian 4x4, with journalistic integrity and values the industry and refused to sellout, one isn’t.

Graham was just a young whippersnapper! 🤣
What year was the video originally shot. Can't believe how young Graham looks
Classic 4WD viewing. Top job guys.
Gods country right there. My favourite 4x4 playground. Bogged a shorty bundera out the back of those sand dunes back in 95, 4 hours of digging later. Way before maxtrax were even thought of. Great Times
bloody awesome john hope you and the handbrake have a ripper christmas mate cheers
Thank you!!! All the best to you and yours too!!!
Roothy the original and still the best
Great episode, who doesn't like a trip down memory lane,eh?

What a ripper video. I've never seen this one before. Interesting to see Shorty in such good nick.
Roothy looks like he knows food way better than Shauno🤣
aww graham was so young and cute
Look at those two young men! Holy hell...
Love seeing Shorty again.
Graham looked like a teenager! Great vid!
Love the old clips mate 👍 cheers
Roothy in a decent motor for a change Graham looks so young
Been there. Great to see you again Roothy.
Wow, look at all those bugs at 10:20. You all must have rhino skin...thanks for sharing this Roothy.👍
Loving the old footage
I always wondered where it all started ! Good stuff boys
Damn, such a different feeling to the modern 4wd247
simpler times. thanks for sharing roothy
I was surprised to see Milo in Birdwood Mill yesterday.
Remember this well. Shorty (Graham) has come a long way since then. Merry Christmas.
Geeze roothy made a good show 🤙🤙. 4x4 247 have just butchered everything...
Haha - yeah, different times and different markets I guess. Can't help thinking I got the good end of it....
Shame they went the way they did I miss the roothy way loved the milo and Otis episodes lol
Miss the days roothy had the show ! Feels like a typical show now !
After them
Plugging kings shit all the time , you kind of lose faith in them now .
@@jacobdoddson1529 agree u know they arent using it cause its good just because someone paid more or gave better freebies
Kings cough kings cough 🤣
Graham is so cute
Roothy I remember the first Toyota s in Canada. Fell in love right away . The Japanese reverse copied the chev 250 cid eng. The Willys bodies wagons , pick ups ect. Great timeless looking trucks. The American built flat head motors were just not that great for a truck. A GMC 292 was good. then& now good Diesel is the way to go!! Cheers Mate. P.S. Hows your lovely wife & family?
Yep, the old Toyota motor just made the Chev six oil tight! All's good here thanks -
what year was this?
I’m wondering the same, I guess something between 2007-2009, but idk
Great video!
Baby Graham!
graham so young here what year is this ?
Think was pre 2010. Graham was in DVD issue 151
GC is the spitting image of Dickie Knee! 🤣
Somehow Graham looks even shorter in this episode!
Yeah, I was taller back then.... hahahaha
Holy shit..GRAHAM. u look like the stunt man for ACDC..🤣😂🤣😂.
When roothy was already old and graham was still short. 😁
Hahahahaha - on ya mate!
Howyd?!Wow, how gorgeous job,bro- ✨
Love it
If ya feel like making a new friend and helping a fellow Toyota driver out with some body rust one day yell out and I’ll head up north 😂
All the best for the new year
How long ago was this filmmed
Aha, maybe 2000 ish? I'm not good on dates, but it was Graham's first gig so it must have been early in the 4wd Action days
That was the best driving I've seen you do Roothy, must have something to do with the Nissan!
Graham looks so young
Graham must have got all that grey hair from seeing shauno drive
Good old days

Yep, trouble is for every hundred decent off-roaders with respect there's a couple of twits who should be locked out - and we all pay for it.
Hi ruthy just wondering if you see many rabbits around in your adventures especially in far south west qld great watching all your vids mate thanks for keeping the dream alive
😈😈😈 the team is back together again , almost 😈😈😈
The days before LED lights and Maxtracks
And roothy....WELL.nothing but respect..b safe to EVERYONE.!!!!.
So this was last week then!
Graham just a PUP geeeez
10 + years ago ....?
definitely pre 2010 at a rough guess
No idea who this is or why it appeared in the top line of my suggestions?
I guess someone paid a lot to promote it.
Back when 4wds had proper suspension lifts
Cool "Truck" bro.
those vehicles are WAY better than my '78 G60
Graham almost looks young here
😈😈😈 an older episode , now your a santa clause 😈😈😈
Everyone was a little less grey back then
I knew he was short, but not THAT short...
I'm not that short????? hahaha
Just a few days ago lol
🤙👍
Wow old school enjoyable episode not full of advertising who's got the better bigger @%#$, and not the same 3 tracks over and over again full of just clapping there cars out
😈😈😈 even graham id grey as nomad. ... ive bought and watched all your cds ... what happened .. i want my life over 😈😈😈
ddint see a mahindra anywhere there in the serious off road stuff, hmmmmm
That's good mate, means you're not drinking... there weren't any around back then!!!
Good Vid, I cant stand that Graeme though
Patrols are so underrated and Toyotas 80s, 200, 70 series are so overhyped and overrated.
how good is this ! classic ! 🛻📹😎🤙
Go the Patrols!!! 🏞️🌅🌊🛻📹🤙😎
Shit ruthless what's the that classic thing you're driving does it come with training wheels
So much better than the wank fest that is now 4wd247
What year is this?
What year was this anyway?
2000 maybe? early daze...
