- If you're seeking the ultimate 4WD adventure in Australia, there's no place wilder than the Oombulgurri Track. 💪
Missed PART ONE of our epic Kimberley trip? check it out here 👉 • STUCK IN CROC INFESTED...
We're here on the tail-end of a late wet-season, and the struggle is real as we attempt to re-open this mighty low-range track for the season...
Grab a FREE 🔥 beanie with the new range of Winter jackets from Snatch! Keep warm on your next trip & grab your Winter gear here 👉 bit.ly/SnatchB...
Six days ago we set out from the remote WA town of Wyndham with the locals barely rating our chances of pushing through 400 km+ of intense low-range tracks ahead of us. 😳
Despite nearly a week of hard slog through some of the most remote country in Australia, we've made it less than 90 kms into the track… with fast flowing rivers, 4WD swallowing mud & dense bush fighting us all the way.
But now, things have taken a turn for the worse…

Hey fellas. As a Aboriginal Australian and big 4wd, bush, camping fan, gotta say it says alot that someone like Ronnie really gets along with you fellas. Relationships with communities is precious and meaningful. Men passing through are judged by intent and character, not by their status, titles, looks or car they drive. Says alot boys, much respect to you all love what you do.
The best episodes is when Graham and shauno is together ❤
Couldn't agree more!
100% agree they are a great duo
agree
N jocko
Nah Graham is a wanker. Wish Roothy was still in it with Shauno
This is the 4wd action we all love to watch
Graham actually caught a fish, unbelievable
We go from tame Beers in the Shed to ''We're f*cked in the Kimberley". Roller coaster ride.
🤣 You know it
This is my favourite series for 2024!
Same
@@Aussiebuilds agree, both.
I’m loving the “how to live life without spending money” series lately
48:08 I love how as graham was talking about 12 volt gremlins one of his headlights went
Oh i see it
In 1989, a customer broke a U bolt on his patrol in the Simpson. $22 U bolt, $1600 for plane then chopper to deliver it 😅
It’s got to be about 10 grand to get one delivered now.
Noted, carry spare ubolts 😂
@@jordanfalcioni4745 Carry a spare car with you is my recommendation
Thank you guy's 🙂 👋 I clicked on one of your random video's recently, and I love these mini series and this Channel. And I am not even, a 4WD person. But, I would love to be tagging along (I am in spirit anyway 😁 !!! ). Thank you for helping to relax my mind, during a very stressful and trying time for me. I have severe chronic pain, and am unable to work anymore. And have just lost my home of 10 year's, recently. And I am waiting, to find another one. I love, your combined energy, your banter, and your enthusiasm. Your obvious, genuine passion for what you do. Your courage, your comradeship, and your teamwork. You are showing me parts of my own country, that I have never even seen before. And would never, be able to go there myself. You are all, educating me along the way. By sharing your many combined year's, of 4WD driving and camping experience with us. Thank you for all of your time, efforts, expense, planning, and for sharing this with us all. Wherever, we all may call home. I just wanted to say, Thank you from little old me 😁 !!! I have never, owned a 4WD or even driven one, nor been with anyone whom does. It just shows how well, you guy's put these video's together. That you can draw in viewers, whom have never experienced a 4WD adventure like myself. Nor know anything, about the equipment and setups you have on your vehicles etc. A big acknowledgement, recognition, and well earned praise, for all of your camera crew. That trust in you guy's, and that follow you through everything you do. And they work hard behind the scenes, in the heat, in the dust, in the humidity, in the rain, and in the mud. Your creative camera shots, and the angles are truly stunning. And they capture those moments of untamed beauty, and vastness so wonderfully. And you allow the countryside, to clearly and simply speak for itself. And for your time then spent afterwards, editing, narrating, and for the end production. The end production, really is top notch quality. Camera crew, you guy's should all be very proud of what you do, too. You guy's, are mostly unseen and unheard. So you guy's, are equally important. And these adventures captured in these video's, and this Channel wouldn't exist without you. And your commitment, to giving us the viewer, a premium, enjoyable, educative, relaxing, and always fun experience 😊 So Thank you all of you guy's, for all of the times, that you have made me laugh and smile. When real pain, and the accompanying exhaustion drain me. And when the pain tries its best, to rob me of laughter and smiling each day.
Anyway... I hope, that you guy's from 4WD/24/7 see this comment. And haven't minded, about the length of my comment 😉 😁 !!!!!!

Words cannot describe how much that means to us Melinda! Thank you so much for your support - we hope to continue to bring you the best videos we can! 🙌🏻
Hi 🙂 👋
Thank you for seeing, and for taking the time to read my comment 😁
Your very welcome. I meant, everything that I wrote. It took me a while to write it last night, but it did come from my heart. And I think people should know.
Whenever you appreciate and are grateful, for something from other's that you enjoyed. I am glad now, that I took my time to write it to you 😌
Thanks again (And I don't mind, if you send this on to everyone involved in your team. As a way for them to know, that what you produce on this Channel is worthwhile).
Melinda 😊 ~
P.S. The country you are showing here, reminds me of my childhood / and teenage years. Of watching my favourite outback Explorer, at the time. Being the late and humble, Malcolm Douglas. I would always look forward, to when I saw his next trip being advertised in the TV commercials. He had an obvious passion, for Australia, for our wildlife, and for our fauna. He showed me, and he educated me. About things, I had never learnt about our country at school. I was very shocked and saddened, when I heard of his tragic accident. I connected with him, moreso than the late Steve Irwin. Malcolm seemed, a quiet man. And the simple and free pleasures in life, seemed to be enough to forfill and to content him. I would have loved, to have tagged along with him. Or visited his wildlife park, whilst he still owned and operated it. So... Thank you, Malcolm Douglas. I think the Kimberley, is where his heart and soul are truly anchored ⚓️
Hope you didn't mind me, talking about the late Malcolm Douglas. An Explorer and an Educator, to many generations of Australian's.
One thing is for sure nobody can say the boys dont push the gear to the limit ❤❤❤❤❤❤
48:10 12v gremlins took his light as he said it😂😂
Just a tip: try to avoid your chainsaw chain touching the dirt as you're cutting, because it makes it super dull very quickly, which makes all your later cuts far slower
Great series yet again guys. Enjoyed watching your antics for a couple of years. Regretting the day I sold my 93 Hilux Surf/ Forerunner.
I'm wondering though, on long trips like this, how much water do you actually carry?
As you're always crossing rivers, don't you carry filter systems and stock up daily with enough for a day or two? For under 100 dollars, these filters will do 500,000 litres.??
i surprised you dont have a premier power welder installed on one of the rigs. its a legit high-frequency welder you install in your truck. you can buy a spool gun to run it as a mig, or just run it as stick/arc welder.. ive watched rory @ trail mater on youtube weld several jeeps/trucks out in the middle of nowhere with it an get them back to the paved road. having a real legit welder on board would solve lots of trail fixes instead of junk straps an prayers .
They probably don't know about it as I'm guessing it's a US based product.
@@senditkevinI was also wondering if this was a thing but am Aussie, definitely not a common thing to need here with all the ways you can bush mechanics it 🤣
It's nice to see Graham doing the tough stuff again.
I would honestly watch an episode/series on just bush mechanic fixes. The creativeness reminds me of the thrill of watching Macgyver as a boy.
Good luck shauno with the radiator brotha. I always carry a package of jb weld putty with me. Has patched many a radiator to get me where I need to go and has lasted way longer than needed in some instances. Love all the videos. I'm in the US and can't get enough of every video. ❤
Do you guys think you will come to NZ for a 4wd?
Be sooo neat aye
I was about to ask the same thing, NZ has amazing scenery camping and 4x4ing. Graham would also have a chance to do some bow hunting if he remembers how to do it.😅
These trips make the 42nd look like a 10min episode
They so should aye, I would be so keen for that
they'd never handle your crazy ass hills haha
Gotta give respect to these blokes pushing the limits and keeping us entertained love these guys
Great stuff as always. To answer the question at 14:30... I'd have a strap already on the back connected to a friend or anchor and go really slow at first to test it with the vehicle. I don't want to get eaten on a 4x4 trip.
Man… always drops at bedtime on the USA West Coast. Guess we are staying up again 😂
Yessir its 3:30 for me
I'm in NZ. So I could have watched earlier, but didnt see it drop. I'm off to sleep, but will watch first thing in the morning - in bed, with a hot cuppa 👍🏼
Love watching you guys! We have had this issue in the US when a RAD breaks. We bring liquid weld, JB weld, and even denture adhesive. There is also a great product that seals leaks in pools under pressure and water. Whenever we break something on the trail, the next trip we have the tools to fix it. You guys are AWESOME! :)
BTW I have an '04 GX470 (Prado) and a '97 Land Cruiser (Petrol) tripple locked from the factory. Would LOVE to run with you guys when/if you come to the US!
Nice little Stalecracker reference you through in there.
Unbelievable. This trip is the real deal. You guys are legends.
New Beaut series fellas. Watching this channel has inspired me to finally get that old 75 series single cab cruiser we have rotting in the back paddock a new life! Rippa builds as always, and happy wheeling!
That's epic mate!
When y'all do a huge adventure, y'all do a HUUUGE adventure!!!! This was insane! Much respect and love to you all. ❤
G'day fellas, I love when you film little pranks on each other, raises the sense of comradery between the team
I'm waiting for the gas filled balloon under the bonnet.... 😅
Hello from Brazil, I'm a 4wheller in BR, my brother lives in AU... great video, kudos to everyone such a nice content! You shoul try something in south america like a patagonia trip, there are some amazing places to go there
Should do more WA trips love it
Shauno, for your 1st aid kit I recommend some Stop The Bleed kit like Combat Application Tourniquets (staged correctly). Israeli Bandages, Celox wound packing, chest seals etc.
Both in the Aid bag and as an IFAK. (If you chainsaw your leg, you ain't running back to Sooty for the CAT very easily!).
Some Sam Splints, Strapping Tape, Trauma Sheers and survival blankets wouldn't go amiss too.
come on sooty!! I know you can get through this!
I stupidly didn't tie off my fan during deep crossing at Gunshot and drove the fan through the back of the radiator in my 80 Series. Didn't notice it till I could smell a really hot engine at Cockatoo Ck. Luckily it only added three days onto the trip to drive to Bamaga and get a new radiator flown in from Cairns. I say lucky because if had been a Friday afternoon, then I wouldn't be able to even order the part till Monday. When remote, it pays to take things slow and careful, real careful.
That bird flying at the drone 16:16 …
I thought I had too many cans for a second 😂
I thought exactly the same thing 😂😂
damn good CGI... production budget is insane!!!! lol
Watching from KENYA 🇰🇪
Nova Scotia, Canada
Nice videos guys while i wait for another episode i watch your old ones from 6 years ago👍🏻
Love the stale kracker reference while cooking 😂
When you guys go on an adventure, you guys go on an EXTREME adventure! This was completely crazy! Love and respect to all of you.
"Like a frog in a sock." killed me XD Cheers from USA. You boys convinced me to buy an old 80 with your Grade A adventures. Ya'll take the best trips
Awesome episode, always great to see Shauno and Graham back together. Be good to see Reuben again on the show
I know your pain Shauno I blew the radiator and cooked the motor in my 1986 corona so now I own a 2003 Nissan Xtrail.Looking forward to the next episode to see how you fix your radiator.
Would like to see a big mog or iveco daily in the crew for these trail opening trips 🙌
Now that is definitely one crazy trek.......
Thanks for the share 🤙👍
Love the star streak shots. Way different than in the USA.
🎉Brilliant episode. The best, I can't recall the DMAX having any mechanical issues often OMG boys can't wait for the next episode
best episodes ever
Excellent mini-series.
You guys are just absolutely awesome, the places you go is just pure motivation to get out and adventure.
Cheers legend! We're HUGE advocates for always heading out bush for an adventure every time you get 🤙🏻
I've seen a number of these series opening the Oombulgurri track and being from the US and love to see them! I'd also love to see what this looks like later in the season to see how different it is. The challenge is wonderful to see but to see the comparison would be really interesting!
It's crazy what a wet season can do the the environment! We hadn't been there for a few years and while things might look similar to the past, lots has also changed!
Great to see Azz and the big Mitts 79 again ❤😊
🤝🤝 it’s a weapon that thing
@@AzventuresAustralia both it and you mate 👍👍enjoyed your conversation with Toons too 👍
By so far out in front it’s not funny, this is the best track that you fellas do. It has everything! 👍🏼
I feel for ya Ronnie. As a Newfoundlander, we had our share of resettlements and plenty of old ghost towns that no longer exist in many outport harbors and off shore islands.
One of these days, I'd love to ship my 4x4 to Australia and get going on this track. By then, I'll be solid axle swapped and maybe even diesel swapped, dual locked, and hopefully 35 inch tires.
Yes I been waiting for this!!
Hell of a video mates
Really looking forward to the next one. Stoked as.
love when you guys tackle the Oombie !!
Just finished up the rubicon series... perfect timing! Wish I had a rig to get out, but this will do till then.
Now these are the videos we like to see
Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Impressed. It's better than a Hollywood movie. I'm now waiting the last episode!!!
Hopefully you won't be waiting too long mate!
Guys.......500mm or more of various sizes of HIGH TENSILE threaded rod, and nuts to suit. Cheap, PRICELESS spare. Also, an A frame of steel tube, to lift the winch cable
Love seeing the smallest rig up front putting in some hard tucker. Up the D-Max🤙
I'm that carrier of stuff that noone think but it always comes in handy 👍🙃
Onboard welder would be a good upgrade.
Pro-tip. Hook up a winch line with lots of slack to the rear of your vehicle before driving off into the bog hole. Saves a lot of time if needed, and does no harm if not needed.
"Bit of Nimbin" had me in stitches!
Me too brother😂😂
Love the stalekracker references lol definitely didn't expect that!
You'll be right shauno. Just Helicopter a new radiator in 😂
Yess! This is the kind of content that gets my blood circulating! Great stuff boys!
Man these two together is epic at Kimberley
@16:14 made me realize how many good shots you have to select from each trip. It was just a glimpse in the episode but oh!! Is beautiful!
Amazing photography too! Each time!
Thanks from Mexico!
A ''Stumpstop'', i laughed my beer of the table when he said that 2:55
Just an awesome series, incredible 4x4 video...
This is an epic adventure for all time.
Pepper or an egg depending on how big the hole is to get you out. 😉🤙😎
This Is my dream destination
Same
Hi Guys, love your videos. When you get a breakdown, if you need to weld something, get 2 or 3 batteries, connected in SERIES, ie, positive to negative, etc, to give you 24 or 36 volts, (use jumper leads) and then you can weld (helps if you have some welding electrodes on board) broken components to get you going. I had to use this system to get my Subaru 4WD wagon going again on Cape York track back in the 80's. I made it home. Hope this info gives you another option on your travels.
Epic cant wait for episode 3
Just cracked open a beer perfect timing
Cheers mate have a good one, speaking of that, I might crack open a stubby 😂🍻
Great episode guys. Thank you!
This is why leaf spring >> coil spring in the outback.
for the leaking radiator own for a radiator fromTHE SKY DELIVERY THE COPTER?and a few lites of anti freeze?
One of the best spares I have had over the years is not a new bolt/nut kit from bunnings etc, but a tray of all the bolts/nuts from patrols and landcruiser 4x4s collected from wreckers. I have spares of almost every, if not every, important bolt/nut on the rig.
I have been waiting for this next episode. I love it! Greetings from Switzerland
G'day mate! Glad you enjoyed the ep 🙌🏻
Crack a few egg whites in the radiator. It actually worked for me and got me out of trouble and got me home. 😂
Can’t wait for the next episode boys.
You keep me in the bush when I’ve gotta be at home.
Looking forward to the next one.
When I was a kid Graham, it was many decades ago we called that steering Armstrong steering ha ha ha
I love the outdoors, always have since i was a kid, Ive loved watching these videos and the real gritty moments of tips and tricks of getting through it.
Thanks for sharing this experience with us! Barra looks delicious!
Crop circle mystery solved ... 17:13 ...
Boeuf bourguignon 👍
Best 4x4 show and i dont even have one 🔥
This is amazing! The Kimberley has got to be one of the most beautiful places in Australia. I had no idea about Oombulgurri, it's heartbreaking.
You guys are wiiild and crazy! I love it! As always, the video is great and amazing, and thanks to the film crew for all their hard work in putting together a quality show like all the others we have on the channel. I'm having a hard time being patient every time for the next one. It's also great to have Shawno and Graham back for a roadtrip like this! Don't give up, folks! Cheers! 🍻
Boeuf bourguignon (from Burgundy)
And yes, Shauno had forgotten the carrots ! I was about to call the police.
And we say "beurre" not "beuteur".....
Fantastic stuff, Boy's. ♥
Boys a tip making a u bolt … a short Chain with two short bolts to tension.
The spare wheel holder chain may work 👌.
Get show boys 👍
These videos make me miss driving offroad. I hope I can get my 4wd running again. It's one of my big priorities before the yeariss up. Haven't been out in it since 2017. Hopefully get a motor for it soon and get the rest of the parts I need/want and IL be going down some trails again.
keen for the next one. great story telling and adventure, really enjoying these style of videos, seems like its back to the original style from way back. Less fluff and all the good bits
Someone please show Liam where the go-pedal is!
2 weeks Ive been waiting for this! I can sleep better now cheers!!
Radiator problem. Try to seal off the leaking tubes with a pair of needle none pliers, before using a soldering iron to finish off the job. If you think that the repair is not perfect, leave the radiator cap unsealed, to reduce the pressure. Hope this helps. I have used this in the past, but not always with diesels, sometimes with my modified petrol engine vehicles.
