Nice work.. We crossed the creek 2 weeks ago but in the other direction. I remember how much my heart sunk when we realised there was another creek crossing 5 mins up the road! No one ever said there were two crossings at Eyre Creek!
What a blast!!!! That one shot when Luke was driving up the dune and it showed the awesome sky/clouds as well...epic!!
Nice job crossing the creeks. I've only seen them dry. Good safe crossing techniques.
What an absolutely fantastic series!! Loving it boys!
cheers mate :) - kaito
Great camera work, beautiful pics... 👍🏻
Well done! Good to see the age diversity of the group. Reminds me of our Overland Bound outings. Everyone needs adventure!
Crikey. The production values (video quality, editing etc) associated with this series are awesome. And I am impressed with the high level of 4WD overlanding knowledge, expertise and competence displayed here by Luke and the team. And the Dot appears to be more than up to the task!
Geoff Hatten thank you Geoff : ) part 3 and 4 are rippers too : ) Kaito editing part 5 atm.. : ) L
Crazy fun stuff.... great video - we took the detour and that was a good drive through country most people don’t get to see when it is dry.
That was a good effort getting through that water crossing
Nice video 4x4 ....... !! 👍
Well done, great team work, love it
This got a 👍before I even watched it. Awesome series so far. Plus, the🥚🥚🥚and🍺🍺🍺haven’t broken. Innit
Doing a bit of research for my Simmo trip in June. I reckon this is the best trip series you Drifta guys have done. A proper boyz trip with some real good comradery. You should do it all again....soon! 🤙
How good is that, cant wait to upload mine
Another great vid guys....
Great stuff
good stuff fellas
Water crossings in the simmo, who would have thought!
Man that dmax became a submarine 38.36
That's a really tough drive
Love the sound of the v8 cruisers💪 I want one but just can't part with my 1hdfte 100. The Hilux is a nice rig also ...
Hudson Sled don’t sell the 1hdfte!!!!!
That's rad...👍🍻😎...
Good stuff 😎👍🍺 , the swags on the top of the trailer could use a bit more securing down there’s a lot of movement in them .
The flies!!.👌👍
The old boy knows.
Absolutely awesome videos! Glad I discovered this channel. What engine is in that Hilux? Sounds so much meaner than the ones here in Belgium
Hey mate, motor is a 1KD FTV 3.0L 4 cylinder turbo diesel, got an ecu tune running just under 450nm on 33s. goes very hard for a small motor, and has a 3 inch stainless exhaust with cat and resonator. Looking at upgrading the turbo and intercooler shortly, they can handle a lot of boost : ) - Kaito.
@@DriftaCamping4WD Thanks! That is one badass vehicle!
My friends just flew over there in a bunch of aeroplanes. Did anyone see them?
hi andy, no didn't see them : ) L
how was old mate at 38.36 farrrk !
Im thinking i know the answer but would you tow the trailer with any of the 4 cylinder utes?
SIMON KING defiantly not mine, might have the power but not the load ability. Rear springs wouldn’t handle it. That’s my set up anyway. If it were one of the dmaxs, with a good ecu tune it would do it no worries
SIMON KING no : ) west to east yeah , not east to west
boys that crossing at 30 mins, is that the only way across ?
microscar nah there is a 65k bypass, the river is usually dry though
@@kaitosutton just found the bypass on google maps, ill be there next month 🤙
@@microscar The bypass has a rocky, shallow bottom and was the only route that was allowed when we went across. The detour sign is still in place in the video. The crossing is actually closed to traffic.
@@robyncrighton1255 cheers mate, any other tips? Ill be heading west to east next month
microscar there’s a bypass about 1 to 2 kms south. I did it two days ago.
Watched it late for the high def
Would love to see a rig run down of Kaito's hilux
Flies Flies
How much water did Andycan get inside?
Not too much, just a little in the front floor, soon dried out ! Came through the air vents
Im guessing the dot here has independent suspension.. If it didn't then can it still do big red and the Simpson in general.. If this dot had leaf then it would make ronny dahl look like he doesn't know how to use a dot at all..lol
this was a leaf sprung dot , and that's why we did the trip : ) L
What I'd give......
So Drifta basically you showed the viewer they need an 80K chiped land cruiser just to tow the thing? Try a stock V6 hilux, patrol, pajero or something realistic & I bet the thing would get stuck all the time. This tastless Toyota$$$ land cruiser crap is getting old real fast.
