Came across an older Triton a couple years back coming across the Simpson with a snapped chassis. Took out his battery, grabbed a set of jumper leads, arc welding rod we found in the bottom of the toolbox, two winches and jacks to get it back in line. Zip zip got him back to Birdsville we heard from him later👍
Also on the Simpson few years ago. Suspension on my 07' Ranger decided it had enough. Front passenger completely gave way, tyre at 45 degrees. Worked on it for a few hours getting the snapped bolts out and ratchet strapping it back to the chassis and crawled for a day on heavy corrugated tracks into Cober (Oodnadatta said no can help). That happened just out of Delhousy Springs.
Watching Graham, Shaun and Jock cook. Seriously hoping that Jock becames a regular part of the team. Jock seems like a nice lad and he loves his four wheel driving.
I just wanna tell you guys you are real life savers. I’m a semi-truck driver in the US and taking a break to escape the cab has been hard to do. Your videos have really helped clear my head and kept me looking forward to when this is all over and I can go weekend off roading again.
No one second skipped watching this having breakfast in my day-off. Absolutely amazing. You guys make us dreaming about serious 4wding. Thx U from Italy.
This is definitely by far the best 4wd adventure channel on youtube...they have strong bond between each other,supporting and helping everybody in the team..they even got a lot of knowledge..keep it up guys!🤘🏻
One tip i learnt way back (1994 actually!), after breaking a trackrod and loosing steering, was to let the tyre down a bit on the "non steering" side, and pump it up a bit on the "steering" side, this means the steering side is carrying more load (more of the vehicles weight) and so can dominate the vehicles direction more than the side that is just flapping around!
Graham's arm is like the Ford right front wheel "lazy" 🤣... Guys I absolutely love what you all are doing keep up the fantastic work and I wish l could have a job like this .... from South Africa!!
Greetings from Poland Bush mechanic's - good job with the steering rod. It's good to keep propper size U-bolts and a long screw or a piece of hard metal bar. 2-3 U-bolt clamps on each side of a broken rod, bolt it tight and of you go to a workshop. About the fix: radiator hose once, steering rods twice, they simly snap, swaybar links, several times. Keep up the good work, the films/views/people are amazing.
I’m kinda surprised nobody has a welder with them, especially when you pretty much know you’re gonna break stuff. Could have sleeved that tie rod and welded it up
The fact that shauno and the guys can still end the evening with a good cook up with so much enthusiasm after such long days blows my mind! Keep it up boys.
The team work and problem solving in your videos blows my mind!!! I don’t even 4wd and love them but they are a bloody great display of people working so well together!!
@@BandittBKA being the last in the convoy doesn't help By that point everything's stirred up ruts are deeper any skeric of traction is gone The vehicles were lined up in a planned fashion Spring hangers certainly don't help either
Kind of astonished no one was carrying a welder or a spare tie rod on a trek like this - I always see those things snapping on the IFS offroaders around me so I assumed it would be a good part to carry. But then again you guys arre admirable in that you go after it the way you do, so it's fun as hell to watch. Cheers from CA
In February I ran an overlanding course call "run through the hills." It was put on by Backroads of Appalachia. It was a 24 hour course from Sennica W.v to Pt. Pleasant W.v. About 4 hours in, I broke the drivers side upper ball joint. We tried to ratchet strap it enough to get me off the trail. Ended up destroying the tire, but we did get me out of the way enough to get something like 20 vehicles past me. Finally the support crew got to me and we figured out a plan to fix it. We got the ball joint pin back in the control arm enough to weld it. It was a pretty amazing bush fix. I drove it out another 6 miles of extream rock and creek bed climbs, ice and mud. Once we got to a main road me and wife decided to err on the side of caution and head home. The bush fix got us another 160 miles home. I've offered to be part of the support crew on the next run. Without a generator and welder, we'd had to left my rig and went 6 miles out and then foud a parts store. Then 6 miles back in. It would have been an absolute night mare. Snow on the ground, 2,300 feet altitude at about 32°. I was so impressed with that bush fix. I've upgraded my 4x4 to a chevy colorado on 35's. I've made brackets to hold a generator and welder in the bed of the truck. Good day to you all. Thanks for reading.
Guys,this was totally exhilarating, for me,blood and adrenalin was pumping, it was like I was living every moment, After hanging to watch you guys on this track,2nd pt, was 1 of the most satisfying, watches we have ever had, Hopefully 1 day,me and the boys can tag along with the crew,and experience this 1st hand, well done guys,👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Hey fellas! I would love to see a video of how you guys clean your vehicles after a epic trip with mud all through your engine etc. what’s products, what to check etc. Cheers! 👍🏼
Kel-James Devon I’m sure there’s a lot of videos however I like the way 4wd action deliver their content to the audience. And I know shawno or graham would do a great video on what they do when cleaning their vehicles after a big trip.
Thomas Blakeway putting a osculating sprinkler under it and letting it run is a good and easy solution for the underside. Just have to move it every 30-45 minutes.
I truly can’t believe that ratchet strap deal worked. Even at the end driving through rocks through creeks totally amazing!! Also can’t believe the raptor steering linkage was so fragile.. it was so thin for a truck designed to jump and everything. This just video shows the abilities of the land cruisers a and how bulletproof they are.
I think one of my favourite parts of your videos, aside from the great camera work and presentation, is the genuine camaraderie and happiness to be out there. I think this is the first episode I've seen where you could see that it was getting a bit frayed at 1am, but even then, everyone's spirits were up. Best 4wd programming on TH-cam, for sure.
Cheers from Guatemala, Central America! Don’t miss any of your vids!!! But 1000 dollar track must be the best two of them all!!! Great offroading and good times, in this curfew situation makes me miss even more the Guatemalan Nature and its forest and jungle... stay safe guys!
BEWARE....IFS owners. this is a case study for not using 35" tyres on your vehicles unless you've done some serious beefing up of your relevant components
The ranger raptor is engineered for 33's from factory, you'd expect it to be able to handle 35's the same way a standard ifs vehicle with 33's would you'd think
@@blakemills3295 you can break anything if you push hard enough. It's highly likely something hit it in one of the water holes. Just one of those things. 9 times outa 10 you might get no damage then bam one day u hit a branch and bang there goes your steering
@@alexfrankl7861 for real - I run 33s on my YJ and I wouldn't dream of going to 35s without swapping out my entire rear axle, axle housing, gears, brakes, and driveshaft. It's a huge commitment
You guys all rock and I love your video's. Just killing me with the lock down that its put a halt to more newer videos as I've almost watch every single episode till early hours of the morning. Keep up the good work and keep safe! Avid South African fan!
Canopy is Nice, Very Nice...no water leaks, Yet she is still new. unweathered by hot/cold exposures over a few years or months, hope she stays dependable .even so, great design. And Great Run fellas!!
Sitting here after rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder, I can really feel Graham's pain! In a sling for 6 weeks is no fun. Glad you are able to have fun there down under, I have not found a comparable US channel.
Waiting for this all week. It was like going back in time to the days you had to wait a weeks to see who shot JR! Best TV I have seen in years and it’s 100% Aussie..👍🇦🇺
This video gave me a chance to christen my little corner of cave space I set aside for myself and my new puppy that I'll be picking up in a short few weeks. I'm absolutely stoked!
Hi I'm from South Africa and love watching you guys playing with the 4b's. You always make it worth my time to watch and I never miss a show. Hope to see you guys soon in SA, as I've heard there's a lot of serious tracks al around Cape Town where I'm from. More so in the Mpumalanga region, but anyways...... Till next round. Cheers guys
Helped my mate rebuild his old land cruiser ute. Replaced Everything. Redid all the wiring. When we were done went to start it. Nothing. Dead. Went upstairs for a cold drink. Came back downstairs 10 minutes later. Started straight away. Damn those electrical gremlins
Years ago my Uncle towed a 24ft boat up to Indian Head and did a clutch. We got there and fished for ten days, but fortunately got another clutch and mechanic to come up and fix it. Not really bush mechanics but still a major enterprise. This was about 1988.
Ive been checking everyday for this half of the video. That track isnt no joke lol. You guys are awesome. Great track, great mates, great time. Nothing else like it. Stay safe guys and cant wait til the next video.
I wish I had a 4x4 and could come on a trip with you guys.. not sure if there's much tracks near Wollongong though... Keep watching these vids back to back. So addictive!
If you use 24volt dc... ie. Two 12volt batteries in series, + to - , and some jumper leads . You could try and Arc weld using some low hydrogen arc rods.. Maybe Phillips 56s or similar. I have used this to weld in the bush.. not pretty but does work to get out of a tight spot...
Welding with 56s will weld structual bits like the tie rods as well as std mild steel.. But General Purpose rods don't do as well, they may crack... The other rod I wpuld recomend is a RSP. They are a lot more expensive though.
I take my hat of to Shauno. He is not afraid to get into the muke and help get his mates unstuck Crawling under the Ford to tighten up the ratchet strap or wading into the bog to grab the winch line. He would be a good one to have along for the ride for sure. Good on ya mate!
Man, I started watching you guys after your first $1000 Tassie track video. And surprisingly my Mrs is on board with me getting a fourbie. 👌🤙this has made me keener then mustard
This is why I always carry some welding rods with me on the trail ! 2 car batteries in series with jump leads and you could've welded the steering arm back together
Here's a question for you (Love the Q&A's btw)... where are all the ladies? You don't ever have many women on the show, whether they are passenger or 4wders. 😂
Sophie Ryan. I know u are talking of gils as there wife's or girlfriend but I would like to see Dani Simpson (also a 4x4 girl at heart) with them. I think see can do it with the boys and FOR the girls. Wouldn't hate to see them on a weekend or for something like this. Shauno if I remember correctly she is also a QLD LADY.
@@martinkotze3351 I didn't just mean their wife's or girlfriend, I also meant guests on the show. The only women I've seen on the show in the past 3 years or so are camera women. I'd actually love for there to be guest female 4wders (like danie simpson), more so than passengers, I just meant that there aren't any what so ever. I know I would definitely love watching the show more if there was some women on it. 😊
The Canadian stand-by name for such a cobbled-together meal at the end of a journey is "Whatchagot Stew". And Graham, in the Northern Bush such an injury is inevitably from wrestling a Grizzly Bear. If you tickle them just behind the 4th rib it renders them docile. But in the heat of the battle many tragically, forget how to count!
What's the craziest bush mechanic fix you've had to do on the tracks? Tell us below

Exactly
@@630nick or a small oxy welding kit.
we always carry heavy leads and electrode holder with 3 batteries in series can do an ok bush weld
Jumper leads and a decent battery and you can get a small arc, but pretty sure the battery would be destroyed after

@pm same in aus. most cars offroad here are turbo diesels lnadcruisers and patrol

I have used this to weld in the bush.. not pretty but does work to get out of a tight spot...
Why low hydrogen? Harder to get an arc going with. I'd go for a 6018 rod, not the best but easiest given the conditions
Welding with 56s will weld structual bits like the tie rods as well as std mild steel.. But General Purpose rods don't do as well, they may crack...
The other rod I wpuld recomend is a RSP. They are a lot more expensive though.
I take my hat of to Shauno. He is not afraid to get into the muke and help get his mates unstuck Crawling under the Ford to tighten up the ratchet strap or wading into the bog to grab the winch line. He would be a good one to have along for the ride for sure. Good on ya mate!
just started watching let's see how you lads get ya self's outta this one 🍺

What a adventure boys! What a team work! Keep doing this videos for us. Wish you all the best.
“Give it a bit of mayo” 😂
Man, I started watching you guys after your first $1000 Tassie track video. And surprisingly my Mrs is on board with me getting a fourbie. 👌🤙this has made me keener then mustard
Haven’t even seen the whole video but it’s going to be good anyway
This is why I always carry some welding rods with me on the trail ! 2 car batteries in series with jump leads and you could've welded the steering arm back together
Here's a question for you (Love the Q&A's btw)... where are all the ladies? You don't ever have many women on the show, whether they are passenger or 4wders. 😂
Actually, a good really question
Maybe because they'd be better drivers and cooks...
Sophie Ryan. I know u are talking of gils as there wife's or girlfriend but I would like to see Dani Simpson (also a 4x4 girl at heart) with them. I think see can do it with the boys and FOR the girls. Wouldn't hate to see them on a weekend or for something like this. Shauno if I remember correctly she is also a QLD LADY.
@@martinkotze3351 I didn't just mean their wife's or girlfriend, I also meant guests on the show. The only women I've seen on the show in the past 3 years or so are camera women. I'd actually love for there to be guest female 4wders (like danie simpson), more so than passengers, I just meant that there aren't any what so ever. I know I would definitely love watching the show more if there was some women on it. 😊
Jocko you are a bloody legend with your quick wit and humour🤟
Has this one got a part 3 to it?
What a legend effort from all on that adventure. Only started watching this channel a couple of weeks ago and I'm hooked!
Real Men drive Toyota
💪💪
Camry's... 🤣🤣
That 76 is hopeless
You guys are playing in much harder trails than our Rubicon in Northern Ca. 8 miles in 3 days is about right, but you are filming too.Great vids guys.
I can see the problem with your 4WD, it's got Ford on the front.
Kertgaferg hahahaha
Kertgaferg at least they circled the problem😂😂
That was just brilliant to watch. Hope the 4x4 aren't too bad damaged can't wait for the new one
For the Q&A: Shauno and the boys come on honest anwser do yous hit the beer bong in the shack at the end of the 1000$ track or what??
what about a shoey? not sure who's boot you would use though hahahaha
Beer bong? Are you American?
The Canadian stand-by name for such a cobbled-together meal at the end of a journey is "Whatchagot Stew".
And Graham, in the Northern Bush such an injury is inevitably from wrestling a Grizzly Bear. If you tickle them just behind the 4th rib it renders them docile. But in the heat of the battle many tragically, forget how to count!
