What a recovery.... Just too many standing in close proximity! All went well, but I would like to know the tension figures on that cable before the 80series tipped back on its wheels... IOW while it was still on its roof and max tension on that winch cable/ synthetic rope. And then no open bonnet and our driver sitting in the line of fire in the cab... Oh boy I get them shivers!
@@robertwilson1827 Yep. But I've seen vehicles break at the bottom there many times, it was the weight up top that did it. All up the RTT, Awning and spare tire would be around 150kg
@@Simo-m1h Are you annoyed by people stating a few facts? Or is that you have a similar set up that annoys you. Do you know the weight of that roof top tent plus the roof racks alone? Prickly people when you comment on their rigs!
Four wheel driving is not about a full ARB kit and some air lockers. It’s about physics and not being a dck head. You are absolutely correct. Back heavy, no understanding of physics and ruined his family’s holiday therefore qualifies as a DH!
Not as bad as the cowboy who ruined his holiday. Just because some idiot chooses to do something stupid doesn’t mean the rest of us don’t have the right to comment from the sidelines
have seen a very close call on gunshot,, landrover's backend came a long way off the ground before it slowly fell back, personally I wouldnt do it without someone behind connected to a snatch strap to stop that,, anyway great work on the recovery , hope you got it going aafter that
I did the Gunshot in 1989 in a FJ45. It's legendary. Between that and crossing the Jardine River (saved a few bucks not using the Ferry) the trip up to the Cape is one of the best trips you can do in Australia. No Gazetted roads to the Tip back then all hard core 4x4 all the way👍
@@susandownes338yep, and I think they'll be putting in Tesla fast charging stations along the track soon 😂. That's, of course if they don't shut the OTT off altogether.
@@wildmushroom4807 yeh mate, I lived in Cooktown for 18 years, did ten OTL trips in my old Landrover. The local guys, (indigenous), have been doing car trips up and down a lot of it for many years in old Holdens and Ford Falcons etc. I'm full of admiration for their skill in achieving where they go in vehicles that are not four wheelers. Us boys get up there in our super "pimped out" four wheelers and can still get into trouble with ease.
Ya well as someone commented elsewhere, he did not háve to go through that obstacle. Done my fair bit of 4X4 in Southern Africa, but its never worth it to take chances like this.... Unless its your "thing" with a roll cage and the money to play! IOW the true sporting side of 4X4ing....
I really don’t understand the point of risking your $$$$ vehicle for 10seconds of adrenaline 🤔 and it wasnt an obstacle you HAD to go through… go on a roller coaster, its cheaper.
WOW this is the first time I've seen a 4WD tip over from the front, essentially a summersult. This has only shown the aftermath, until now, didn't think it was possible.
TH-cam algorithm won't allow to post it going head first deep into the mud, then ending up on its back, getting tied up, pulled from the front, at 2:1, until it flipped out... after obviously losing some fluids. 😂
I haven't got much sympathy for people who intentionally put their vehicle into such a situation. Just drive around the hole ffs!! The owner must be loaded to be so cavalier with an expensive vehicle.
I don't understand why that tele track entry is so steep? Has it been eroded over the years or is there a less steep entry for the less experienced? I know it's a challenging trip but seems like it could damage your vehicle from the off?🤔🤔🤔🤔🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I wouldn't be standing where that guy is at 1.21.. of that shackle goes he maybe wearing it a a mouth guard... not sure what it is about taking your expensive 4x4 up there and completely fu#$king it up on top of the cost getting it, and you home.
I questioned why the ladies were standing where they were? Directly in winch rope decapitation path, crazy kids!!, hope the cruiser lived to see another day
@@dangr5258 haha thought exactly the same bud, I run the td4.2 100 series cruiser with 12.5 vms winch and thought of the strain on it and the car flipping 2.8tonne 80 series, thought something gunna give here and looked at the ladies and said out loud to myself wtf are doing standing there for, a whole lot of craziness !!
This is just a case of people not thinking about the consequences of their actions and the dangers they put themselves and others in thankfully no one was injured It is case of idiots a work
People this is palm creek not gunshot and i know this and i havent even been up there yet 😂 i bet that driver was shitting himself trapped upside down unable to get out and for that long scary shit 😮 hope he was ok ?
That was a brilliant piece of driving to get in that predicament 😂hopefully he's learnt his lesson
You would think the owner would take advantage of this , and put some rust guard on the underbelly of the thing 😮😅😅
😂
Grease gun out at a minimum. Also, check the roof lining for coins and lost roaches... 😊
😜
😂
Stuck inside ey.

Yep. Super dangerous. Stand the f back
That looked like synthetic line, if it was it just drops straight the ground if it snaps. Dunno
I don’t think you’d wanna know dirky 😂😢
At what point did the driver exit the 80, it looked very tight, yeh always amazed at bystanders lack of care, re dangerous situations,
nec minit.... for sale, never been offroad.... well looked after 40k.
... many various modifications ...😅
It’s amazing that this doesn’t happen more often.
Gotta love the sideline commentary 😆
Like to see the vehicle out and what damage. Did it run afterwards?
That’s what 4wd looks like down under, literally 🥳
Aussies, 4:12 it’s only bonnet, we’re going rest of the track 😅
That spare on the roof saved that rig... and also part of the reason it went over.
Yes, top heavy, plus breaking at the bottom to long, instead of accelerating to drive along down the ramp??
@@robertwilson1827 Yep. But I've seen vehicles break at the bottom there many times, it was the weight up top that did it. All up the RTT, Awning and spare tire would be around 150kg
That’s a SL of weight on the rear of that car. Canopy, tent, tyre. No wonder it went over
I agree, definitely shows the problems of getting your weights wrong, and having a high centre of gravity

Just drive around the big hole maybe...
I cringed more about the lack of safety during recovery. People standing everywhere in the line of fire if a cable had have snapped etc.
Yeah, there was potential death at every angle !!
What an epic bush recovery ! In the first minute of the vid I was expecting to see a crane lifting it out.
love the commentary from all the sideline cowboys

@effkay3691 all your stories are boring, and no one cares that you don't have any bruises.
I want to see the dash cam footage. 😮
I could see this happening soon !
Heaps have been so close to going over….

Looks like Palm Creek. @@reececollins2757

@@susandownes338 The Gunshot is 30 feet back from where it used to be. Worn down by many a nut doing the obligatory chute👍.
Way ,way harder now . I reached the Jardine in a 1966 Holden in ‘79 ! It was hard work digging sand , but we made it.

I'll buff out it's just a scratch!😂 good recovery though!
I guess the 4wd shows were wrong when they said dont put your tyre up top. It saved his roof from being caved in and the car didnt get writen off.
Poor bugger! I don't normally make comments or read them. But you have my sympathy mate.
Did he try and turn the engine over when he got in? Not sure was I’m seeing at the end?
Lucky you didnt drawn.. imagine the water was higher and you couldnt open your doors
You won't catch me upside down there. I'll take the sissy track 🤣
Fools will be fools. One day some one of these big name 4x4 people in Australia not coming back it's only a matter of time.
What winch was used in the recovery?

Bad entry, too gung ho
I’ve seen heaps teeter on the edge …
I knew it would eventually happen
There is a video of it going over too.
@@susandownes338 yeah saw it
And how did the driver get out…? Looks pretty tight…
3:22 let's rip the axle off while we're at it!
In one cenc very lucky damage wise could have been a lot worse
One hell oh an opps. Hope everyone ok. And the how it end up like that dam!
That's not gone well, good recovery though!
please did you get the second bit the retrieval front ways 🙏
Any footage of it going in to the hole

And it's rooted.
thats taking ass sunning to a new level
I wanna see how he got on his lid in the first place.....
th-cam.com/users/shortsLWlzKBPFMF4?feature=share
hit the brakes when almost vertical. Momentum did the rest !!
It looks like the owner of that truck should have followed the sign on the back and drove around the big hole in the ground. 😂
Oh What A Feeling…..Toyota !!!!!!!
Chopped and flattened
Must be the gunshot creek
its palm creek hahaha crazy aye (from what ive heard)
Always garaged, Never been off road or beach.
Sorry about the accident, but I've wondered when I would see this happen after watching several youtubes with this pit in them!!
"Yeah mate, when I said she needs to go over the pits for an inspection...."
Unlucky! Was the driver inside the car the whole time?!
th-cam.com/users/shortsLWlzKBPFMF4?feature=share
What a nightmare... I could imagine the damage and setback on such a special trip.
It's the first obstacle too😢
I haven't got much sympathy for people who intentionally put their vehicle into such a situation. Just drive around the hole ffs!! The owner must be loaded to be so cavalier with an expensive vehicle.
How did the people get out of there?
They were inside the whole time
Imagine if a really heavy rainstorm happened while the numpty was trapped upside down in his 4WD 🤦♂
My years of rigging is telling me the couple in their swimmers dont care about losing limbs
If only he didn’t touch the brakes at the very bottom the front may have popped up
Brakes are of little use once you're on near to vertical drops like "The Shotgun", it's a helluva ride...
@@gazzafloss Gunshot is a crossing for the brave that’s for sure but that was Palm creek I’m pretty sure
@@Brad.whatthe oh, I'd heard Palm creek was a bit more sorted now, haven't been up there on OTT for two years now.
Yes, breaking at the bottom too long, instead of accelerating to drive along down the ramp??✔️✔️✔️
I think the spare tyre on roof saved the cab
Go and do GUNSHOT they said, it will be FUN they said.!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

good winch
I would like to know how did the driver get out of the cab.
th-cam.com/users/shortsLWlzKBPFMF4?feature=share
He waits 😅
More video of getting it out would be good,if it a Toyota let sit for a while do check she start up,hard to keep a Toyota down.
😂😂😂 pretty much sums it all up ... 😂😂😂
Ricky Mack!?
Did the driver escape unharmed?
Yep
Play stupid games win stupid prizes 🤔😂
How's the driver
I guess no mullet would of saved this
Oh gee, what's centre of gravity? Duh I don't know. I left school year 7.
Aw.... it's lying face down in shame.😢
More money than brains
How the bloody hell did you get this vehicle in that mess 😣😣😂😂 LoL bogger
Ooh ouch, good to see everyone ok 👍
Anyone know Steve
How to wet yourself laughing at stupid people doing even more stupid things, in less than thirty seconds!

Was waiting for that shackle and pulley to let go and decapitation
Sorry to disappoint 😆
y it was not under pressure or high tension 🤔

Completely agree... 2:1 end over retrieval.... i wannna know what winch he were using .... thats some force on the bugga

Hope you didn't try to start it there.... hmm
Why in the first place
He defs hit that with a touch too much speed.
Like a teenager at pool party...
nope he didnt have enough speed thats what caused it too flip
This is just a case of people not thinking about the consequences of their actions and the dangers they put themselves and others in thankfully no one was injured
It is case of idiots a work
Clowns and their toys
And this my friends is exactly why the telegraph track will be shut down for good in the not to distant future. Not a fan sorry.
The good video would habe been the tipping over part...

Should have bought a patrol
Yes!! Safe call. He wouldn't have made it there in the first place 😅😊

Great idea....🤓
I wouldn't stand anywhere near that
All for the gram
And then what happened…
Deserved it.
Dont chop 80s up for Petes sakes!!!
Go 4wd driving they said.... it would be fun they said.... 😅
Why would you bother really
Just why would you on that angle and too top heavy, an expensive lesson.
that a hilux not a 80 series
Hey mate you know you can't park there right😂
Too much money
😂
You can't park there mate!
Just leave it there
🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
Insurance will cover it 🤣
