Hi Duncan. I noticed you have Clearview Mirrors on your 80. i have the same model 4x4 and was wondering what model suits the 80's Great Vids keep them coming
Hi Glenn. The item code is CV-TL-80S-EB. This has the remote mirror adjustment feature which plugs into the 80's exisiting electrics. You can also get without this feature. Works out a little cheaper. I got them through Opposite Lock. Recently OCAM also markets a similar type of mirror. Here is the link www.ocamindustries.com.au/ocam-tm2-extendable-towing-mirrors-for-landcruiser-80-series-chrome-orange?gclid=Cj0KCQjw5JSLBhCxARIsAHgO2Seo3NIlbAk7hmQPDKlamkWi4Tvi0Mwud7dwF4oybIm9ahv_mp57bnoaAhehEALw_wcB
I've heard of it but not been there yet but it is on my bucket list once I start 4wd touring again once this bloody covid lets us get out and about.. grrr..
Hey Duncan great video. Something you might add to your collection of recovery equipment is a boat anchor that you can connect to your winch. Works great in the sand.
@@4xTouring Sherpa make a sand anchor for 4x4, I think it’s about $300, packs away flat but is around 16kg, or deadman make a product you bury which is about $350 and only weighs a couple of kilos and has a couple of other advantages/ ways it could be used, both quite expensive unfortunately
Your excitement at seeing the dunes reminds me of the way I feel each time I hit the tracks. I can't wait to get down there after Christmas. You inspired me to organise this trip. Thanks Duncan.
You will love it! Whilst you are there, do Lincoln NP. If you enter from the Sleaford entrance and work your way up the track you get some awesome sand dune driving too.
G’day mate. I have the same vehicle. Want to replace my old exhaust. Yours sounds great. What exhaust are you running? Also I run about 12 psi in soft sand. Have done it for years. Always drive the sand in high range effortlessly. Never rolled a tyre off the beads and never had a problem running 12 psi and it’s easygoing on the vehicle. Hope this helps
We were just there two weeks ago and the exact same thing happened in the same spot! We were in a holden trailblazer and were also pulled out by a local with an 80 series cruiser! What are the chances???
That's not bogged...try coffin bay beach incoming tide lapping at your wheels 3 people digging 4 winches trying to pull the truck out firmly stuck in the wet sand?.. now that is firmly bogged. Luckily for me we got it out just in time.took me weeks to get the sand out....
For sure that is bogged! Glad you got out safe. It can be tricky out there. A couple of years back a mate of mine had a similar experience. He drove over the sea week on the beach not realising it is all wet and soggy under neath.
Yes, the drumming "music" over the top of when you're speaking just doesn't work. Makes it very difficult to follow what you're saying. And the music to those parts of video when you're not talking is very loud and actually detracts from the video footage. Have a look at Tim Bates 4wd Adventures. Very little music, mainly video with Tim takiing and sounds of when he's driving.
Thanks for that feedback Arthur. Means a lot. I much appreciate this than a viewer just giving a thumbs down. I've been trying out a few different types of mics. It is a bit of a balance getting the right mix of ambient sounds and voice.
@@4xTouring definitely a 👍 from me still. What you and Ajani put together is awesome - great video, informative, and your presentation is excellent. It's great to see ordinary people travelling to places and not pushing sponsors products, telling us we must have the latest, most expensive gear.
Thanks for pulling out my parents and their friends driving 😂
They certainly had not prepared for it despite having driven there a couple of times
Glad to have been of help. We all had a good laugh afterwards. 😀
Great video again. Cheers D
Thanks mate.
Your a nice man...from us old fella's to you two....thanks👋
Thanks Duncan it looks like I will have to visit sometime soon.
It is a beautiful part of the country. We are fortunate in SA to have all these beaches we can drive on.

Great job at least you were prepared don’t know about the people you helped 👍
Glad to have been of help. There is no mobile phone signal out there. A good 4 or 5 km walk over dunes to get help.
I've heard of it but not been there yet but it is on my bucket list once I start 4wd touring again once this bloody covid lets us get out and about.. grrr..
Hang in there Tim. I am sure it will all be over soon. Absence makes the heart grow fonder :D
Make sure you keep your eyes peeled for the EEmooo's.... Lol
:D
Hey Duncan great video. Something you might add to your collection of recovery equipment is a boat anchor that you can connect to your winch. Works great in the sand.
That's something I never thought of. Especially for sandy terrain. Thanks for the tip.
@@4xTouring Beats digging a hole and burying a bag or tire. You want a spade type anchor for sand.
@@fredv7487 absolutely. Been looking at anchors since you mentioned it :D

@@stevemoyse6454 They dont work.
Did this track today and the amount of people bogged with no idea.. tyres at 10psi get you out of anything. Nice vid mate
It is quite shocking how many people i come across with little to no knowledge or recovery gear.
Beautiful spot. Way to boost the Good Samaritan points! Karma is in your side my friend.
Glad we were there to help. Next time it could be us in a similar predicament. :)
Hi Duncan, what camera do you have mounted on the roof rack?
Hi mark. That is a DJI Osmo Action cam. Love it!
Great video as usual Duncan. When I ever get the chance to go there I think a big feed of fresh coffin bay oysters would be first on my list. Cheers!
Absolutely. We did have our share of oysters. :)

Hi Steve. I have a 3" exhaust with headers at the manifold.

Hi Tarik. That's insane!! That particular spot the soft sand is chopped up quite bad.

@@Wdeane1957 Appreciate the support.
The music is bad but the video is good
Thanks for the feedback. Helps me to keep improving. Is it the choice of music or the sound quality?
