You should have seen when we were editing it how hysterical we thought the whole day was! You’re so right, when you’re in the moment if feels like your whole world is crashing down but when you take a step back and reflect there’s so much opportunity for learning and growth! Thank you so much for the comment and for sharing in on the fun. 🥰
@@lilandjake Mate I am now 81 & still learning. We have done a lot of tough tracks, stuff up & brake things, plus get the p....r taken out of us by our mates half our age! 😊
Actually love that guys keep it real and show what it’s really like on the road, the good bad and ugly unlike some of the other channels showing only sunshine and rainbows 😂 Crack up Lil having a breakdown but poor Jakey doing all the hard yards 😂 keep up livin the dream team!
Absolutely!!! You’ve got to because it does get tough sometimes! The highs are incredible but the lows can be so tough on the road. Cheers for following along! 🤩
I have theory with the maxtracks. What if bits of rope were tied to each maxtrack then enough rope was allowed to get to the back of van then as you go past the van pulls the tracks out?
@12 minutes I saw that and thought holy crap 😳... too high even without towing. Hey it's all a learning curve I guess. Unfortunately that's how tracks get destroyed. 💯% avoidable if you lowered pressure all round van included. At no point did I see a deflated tyre
OMG you guys, so sorry you had to go through that hell!! Our anxiety levels rose through roof watching it. Needed a stiff drink to calm the nerves😂 In all seriousness, it's days like this that make you appreciate the good days even more. Keep up the great work and never stop smiling.
WHAT A DAY!! It was such a mission. I’m sorry you had to go through all of that with us. 😂😂 we needed a solid three days of maxo relaxo to recover! You’re so right, we really do appreciate when we have an amazing day or find an amazing spot. Sometimes the risk pays off, sometimes it doesn’t. 😂 thanks so much for watching!! 🧡
Awesome video Lil and Jake! You guys will learn from your experiences and be better prepared when a similar situation comes along. Loved the rawness of you banter between each. Australia is a tough country and you are experiencing beautiful scenery, the envy of many who will never be able to make that journey. Through your camera, you are the eyes of those who can only gaze on in wonderment of our wonderful country. Keep the video's rolling on.
Thanks a million Peter!! You couldn’t be more right, live and learn we reckon! We count our lucky stars everyday at how grateful we are to be living this dream of travelling Aus!! ✌🏽✌🏽
Omg guys!!!!!! What a thrilling episode. Christian and I were in hysterics because your reactions were so you (and lil I would have been like you). Absolute legends that handle difficult times so well. Glad you got out of the negative ok. All our love xxx
I’ve just discovered your channel and I love that your vids are real. Real emotion and real challenges. We are doing a lap right now and we know all too well that it’s not all shits and giggles. I’m stoked you’re showing people all aspects of your journey. 👌
Thanks so much Brad!! So stoked you’re enjoying watching our channel. Gotta keep it real around here hey. How epic are the adventures, the downs make the ups sooo worth it! 🤩🤩
Awwww Trevor! ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much. That’s so nice of you that you care. It was such an emotional day. 😂 don’t worry, we picked ourselves up and we are back on track! 🤩
Hi guys regards tyre pressure, you will be amazed at how low you can drop pressure and not damage anything. We run 10 and 15 psi in our old gq which is heavy but not towing . Also the van needs to be low as well. Anyway you’ll get that worked out. As well as bumps and rattles you’ll get some bush pinstripes which show you’ve been trying. Keep your chins up guy’s experience gives you confidence cheers Laurie
You’re totally right, some really good tips there. Still have so much to learn but slowly and surely! It’s all about the experience, and the many, MANY pinstripes that come with it! 😂
I feel your pain with the fridge slide. Broke mine too (but it was my fault). True travel video showing the bad days you had. Without the bad days, the good would not seem so enjoyable. I’m new to watching your channel but you have me hooked now.
Damn, sometimes it’s just a bit of bad luck hey. We obviously got some new slides from Bunnings but we really need to invest in some more heavy duty ones again. You’re absolutely right though, gotta have to bad to appreciate the good more! How epic!!! So glad to have you along for the ride. 👌🏼
New subscriber here and enjoying your videos. As for sand driving, lower tyre pressures (before you hit the sand) on both the tow vehicle "and" your caravan. 15PSI is a good start but consider going lower if required. However, don't do sharp turns or drive too fast , as with lower tyre pressures, you run the risk of rolling the tyre off it's bead/wheel rim. Max Tracks are great and to make finding them easier, tie a "much longer" brightly coloured strap/rope to them, about a 6 metre length should be long enough and lay it out to the side of your bogged vehicle. (At a 90 degree angle) To avoid it getting covered/buried in sand/mud. These Chinese made vans are extremely flexible due to poor design and more so because of poor quality items/materials used in their build, which probably caused your fridge door compartment to "spring open", (despite being locked) on rough and bumpy tracks. Be mindful of this problem as it.could very well happen again. Enjoy your experiences, good and bad and everything in between. 😊👍👍
Thank you so much for subscribing and sharing so many useful tips! You couldn’t be more right about the PSI, sometimes we don’t realise and it’s too lake! Agree with the maxtrax straps, the ones they give you are way to short, still lose them every time. We’ve started just putting tie down straps on them and it’s made such a difference! 👌🏼🤩
Omg! That was stressful to watch can't imagine what it was like for you both. I hope you can eventually look back and laugh. Hats off to you both for showing the not so fun side of caravan travels. 👍
Sorry you had to go through that with us! 😂😂 you should have seen when we were editing this video, we were DYING laughing with how ridiculous that whole saga was. 😅
Hi guys, try not to stress too much in these situations. Drop tyre pressures . Don't be lazy it makes life so much easier and fun. Love your setup and look forward to more videos. Your a funny couple and great people. Sorry you bought a ford Ranger but have an awesome time.
Absolutely, the emotions were high being the first day back on the road after sooo long! You could not be more right, in hindsight, we should have dropped them! Thanks for much for watching, even if we do have a Ranger (Jake would kill me for saying that) 😂😂😂
Bought our first 22ft caravan in 1976 as young newly married couple. Had the whole centre support come down in the caravan on our way to Broome. We had to weld the support into place. Roads up there unsealed in those days. Then to 4x4 camper trailer for many years and now a hybrid. Check, check and final check before getting in the car. We all learn from experience on the road. Enjoying your content and its fantastic to see so many young people enjoying our beautiful country. Subbed. Couple rolls of duct tape are essential. Just think in a while you’ll remember this and laugh.
Oh my leonie! What a horror story! I couldn't imagine what it would have been like! Glad to hear your in a hybrid now! I hope you like it! Yes ductape has saved our lives more times than we would like to admit! Thanks for the comment and Thanks for watching!
Phew 😢 what a day, we were exhausted just watching. Soooo glad you found the Max Trax, great work Jake. Please stay off the hard tracks if you can. It's a bit stressful 😅
It was such a rollercoaster! You’re right, sometimes it just happens.. makes you appreciate all of the good days! Thank you so much for your kind comment, it means the world to us. Glad we can bring some reality to TH-cam! 🧡🧡🧡
Make yourself up a trailer hub with a 13 inch tyre welded to a bit of RHS. You attach it to the draw bar on a pivot (like a big arse jockey wheel). You can then disconnect and either snatch or winch the trailer out of trouble. I did it on my camper trailer works a treat
Talk about carnage, your vids come out on Sundays, and all day I thought it was Sunday, even phoned my wife up to know why she’s working on her day off, but seriously great “ Real Life” with no glitz and glamor only honesty, we’ve all been there,, ( but not as bad “ yet” ) and you handled it with grace. You’ll love port Gregory if you haven’t passed it yet, great spot, for your boat and fishing. Til next Sunday, Saturday or whatever, thanks for the ride.
We totally didn’t mean to realise it today but for some reason we thought Sunday was the 1st so we scheduled it and woke up realising we’d put the wrong date!!!! That is hysterical though, we are so grateful you use us as a calendar reminder. 😂😂 unsure when we will post next week now though considering the vid is going well! You’re so right, though, we hope that we can be the unfiltered version of TH-camrs travelling Aus!! Happy SATURDAY!! ✌🏽✌🏽
Omg 😂😂😂 Love the honestly, and to be honest, I (Lil) was laughing soooo hard when I was watching the video back. We were so dramatic - I think rightly so, but hilarious. 😂
Hang in there guys...be supportive of each other and remember that you are experiencing a wonderful journey that will be with you for the rest of your lives ❤
Sometimes you just have to yell at each other.. but you’re very right, we are so lucky 🤩 and you should of seen us editing and watching back. Sooo funny in hindsight. 😂
Sh!t happens, don't freak out, stop, pull your chairs out sit down, have a drink or a smoke, and assess the situation, work out a solution, going at it with high emotions will make you do the wrong thing.
Just watched this video, good luck and I wish better things for you in the future. I add the comment "Don't blame you partner as the driver YOU! are responsible for ensuring your vehicle is fit for travel, you should have checked all doors before driving off!!!!" Good luck😊
Hey guys, im a fairly new subscriber and just going over some of your old videos. just wanted to say thanks for posting even the shit stuff as in when things go wrong. love your temper Jake. its not really even a temper. angry about the slide but its so micro on the grand scheme of things hahaha. keep up the smiles and good work and look forward to the new vids.
Excellent vid , we all have them nightmare days. Always let the tyres down, even if I’m not towing anything I air down at the sight of soft sand. It’s easier on you and the gear
You’re absolutely right! Usually we are the first to say let the tires down but we were exhausted and not thinking straight!! Had our time again and we’d be down at 8psi. 😂 Happy Easter Brett! 🤩
I'm sorry guys but this is the best episode ever, I feel for you both the troubles you've been through and all but you will see the funny side when or if you ever get old like me. Keep the journey alive, you have got it ! Surely. cheers Michael
I’d love to know what choice words were said off camera 😂. Tbh, i feel so much better now, i thought this sort of crap only happened to us. This is my first video i have watched of you guys, you just got yourself a new sub, now to catch up on all your previous videos. Thanks for sharing, best wishes for the remainder of your travels.
Some things too terrible for TH-cam, we had to cut a lot out! 😂😂😂 Ohhh don’t worry, there’s a lot to find as you dig back through the channel! Oodnadatta if you want a real cracker, I (Lil) can hardly watch that video back! 😬 Thank you so much for watching and subscribing we are so grateful and promise you won’t be disappointed. 😂😂
I couldn't believe what an absolute crap day you guys had, if wasn't for the heart felt emotions shown, I wouldn't have believed it wasn't staged. I guess you've learnt the lessen the hard way that when driving in WA's dunes or on the beaches, always, always, take the time (10 min) to air down, especially when towing, air down your van as well, it was obvious to those watching and hopefully yourselves when you were editing that the wheels on the van weren't rolling over the top of the sand but almost being dragged through it, the van was acting as an anchor. Lucky Bay (Nth) is notorious for it's soft sand, research where you are going. This is the first video of yours that I've watched, so I'm not sure if you have a drone or not but if not, get one, they are not only good for content but also for scouting tracks ahead which might have saved some pinstripes (and maybe your fridge slide) if you'd used it to see whether you'd be able make it out the way you hoped or be able to turn around at Sandy Cape. Anyway, this isn't meant as a knock down, loved true emotions, keep the the real life content coming and enjoy yourselves out there and continue to learn and grow your channel.
It doesn’t get much worse than that does it!! We keep it real around here, that’s for sure, ugly tears and all. Got to live and learn though hey! 😅 Yeah, we’ve got a drone! Use it all the time but that’s a great idea to use it for a bit of track investigation! 👌🏼👌🏼 Thanks so much for the comment!! 🤩🤩
Hey guys what a day! You definitely love pushing the limits. Both I and wifeeeee love watching your episodes. That's the second time the camp host has told a TH-camr to camp on the beach. WhileWe'reYoung were bogged in the same exact spot at Lucky Bay and turned around 100m back to the camp grounds. I think the camp host gets a kick out of it.
Thanks guys for watching!! 🤍 How hilarious is that! We saw another 5 cars at least get bogged there!! I reckon you could be into something, the sand was soooo soft, I don’t know why he was recommending us go there. 😂😂
It doesn't seem like it at the time but it's all part of the adventure and the challenge of overcoming adversity. You will have some great stories to tell your grandkids. 😂😂😂 Love your never say die attitude Jake😊
Absolutely David, we agree. When you are forking out so much money for something brand new we have found it’s easy for the companies to forget about you once the money has been finalised! Happy Easter! 😊
Wow that was carnage guys😞 I can’t believe that no one stopped to help you out. On the bright side lucky bay is beautiful but a bit windy when we visited. I hope you stop in at Gladstone bay on your way up north it’s well worth a night or two. Safe travels and keep smiling 😊
It doesn’t get much more hectic than that does it Dave! There was actually no one else on the track, we didn’t see one soul the whole drive between camps. If anything, I think that proves it wasn’t the best idea. 😂😂😂 Isn’t it stunning, at least the rock shelf protects bigger waves for coming in at the snorkelling spot quite a bit. Absolutely!! That part of the coast is stunning!!! Thanks so much for your comment and keeping up with our travels. ✌🏽✌🏽
I've had days where I was bogged in shell grid for 8 hours. The beach was called the Dogfence near NundarooSouth Australia. Even a tornado came through and picked up my sleeping bag and took it into the ocean. Car absolutely demolished by the bush after that, trying to find another route further up the beach. The 100 series land cruiser was pin striped to hell. Finally went fishing and caught a Mulloway. Taking a photo the fish fell out of my arms and a 10/0 hook went straight through the middle of my thumb. Had to pack up at midnight and drive to Ceduna hospital to get it out 😂. When shit goes wrong it can go bloody wrong lol.
Wow, what a day, or a couple from hell!! How’s your thumb now? I don’t think either of us would cope with the hook through the finger… 🤮 Lucky you made it out the other side and hopefully you can have a laugh about it now. 😂
She says he never gives up and he found them you really got bulged down and the hand's to prove it Congratulations you made it out And how are your hands doing now Fireman 🔥🔥🔥
You guys are awesome❤ thanks for including your true selves and raw emotions👌🏻 We all have those days all you wanna do is bury ya head in the sand and be done with it!!🤬🤬🤬 That’s where you just crank up the music, have a few beverages to try n chill. How the hell you kept your cool is amazing cause I would’ve had to bleep every 3 seconds🤪🤪🤪 Shit happens re your fridge door. It sucks dogs balls to the max Those max trax are like finding treasure🤩🤩🤩
You know that’s what you’ll always get around here!! Two lunatics baring all! 😂 Absolutely, we did have to cut a couple more f bombs out because we were not impressed at all. 😅 Can you believe Jake found them!! Talk about never giving up. 🤩🤩
@@lilandjake he’s a trooper but he’s like me, stubborn in wanting results and determined not to give up. I’m disappointed with some of the comments people are leaving, like they’re the full professionals and you guys are kids and have no idea. Who gives a shit if you make mistakes. Have a laugh about or cry and move on. That’s life and experience. 🤣🤣
Absolutely Lisa! What a day it was, one we won’t forever for a while that’s for sure! You’re definitely right, we are usually the first to drop the tires but I think after the day we’d had we were too exhausted and weren’t thinking! Cheers for watching! 🤩🤩🤩
Sorry things didn't work out for you there. We can certainly make mistakes that's for sure. Have a safe trip out there. From William Mount Gambier South Australia 🇦🇺
Cheers William, we really appreciate that. Since this, things have been running pretty smoothly thankfully. 😅 How we loved Mount Gambier, gosh that feels like a lifetime ago!! Lil & Jake ✌🏽✌🏽
I know your pain it’s part of owning is fixing and making stronger, I had my door fall off on the first night of camping trip and it was held together with gaffer tape till I got to a hardware store
So true!!! You learn and improve! Glad you got to sort it but we get it, you’ve got to be innovative when you’re a while away from a town with supplies! 😅😅 happens to us far too often! 😂
Get yourself a steel spike around 8 to 10 mm put a handle on it and it will find your tracks so much quicker and easier just run along the tyre track and poke the rod in along the way until you hit solid the best way to locate your tracks, and lower your tyre pressures big time to 4 psi if you have to you have a compressor no big deal stay safe keep up the great videos
We were running 20 at the car and 25 at the van then when we got bogged went down to 10 in the car and 15 in the van! We usually drop down the tires much sooner but the day beat us and we were exhausted! 😅 Happy Easter Dave! 🤩🤩
dang! what doesnt kill ya right?! awesome effort. Thanks for sharing, we're looking to buy the same van so watching your does and donts carefully. If you can.. maybe grab the insta360 x2 or 3 it'll change your video and editing world
Totally Deno!! You should definitely, we do really love it, sometimes we just push it a little too hard. 😂😂 Gosh, we were looking at videos made with one the other day. They look epic!!! 🤩
Tie the max tracks to the front and rear bars using those straps. I couldn't believe the whinging. Man, I'd be walking with all that. Cudos though, you kept your cool and kept at it. I reckon you could've dropped your tyre pressures down more. Oh, and my comment - as straight as you guys are with what goes on. Nice change from the rose coloured glass presentations.
Do you guys reduce pressures on your van tyres? I let mine down to 15-20 psi and it makes a huge difference. Yours look like they're ploughing and barely spinning
Hey!! Thanks for the tip, yeah we always drop our tires on the van when we drop the car. Most of the time the problem is when the van comes out of the cars tracks! 😅😅😅
Hey!! Thanks for the tip, yeah we always drop our tires on the van when we drop the car. Most of the time the problem is when the van comes out of the cars tracks! 😅😅😅
Thanks for the tip! We are usually the first ones to drop them down but we were exhausted and made the rookie error of not dropping them further! 😅 You live and learn I suppose. 😂
If you watch any of our other videos you’ll know we’re always the first to drop the tires, this day beat us and we were EXHAUSTED, not thinking straight! 😅 Happy Easter! 🤩🤩
Gee Guys Wait till you have been bogged for two weeks in mud. Yes those max tracks can go 3 to 4 feet under the sand. Fantastic reminded us of our shitty days. In the mud we even tried to winch them out ( no go snapped them ) Go the digging Legendary Good on you Guys 😂
Barry!! That sounds bloody awful, I think we can hold off on experiencing that for a little while! 😂 Didn’t Jake do a ripper job finding them, never gave up, and the hands to prove it! 😂 Happy Easter! 🤩
Got to be real careful under 10psi - to much wheel spin and high temps can start to delaminate your tyres from the inside. Had it happen to a set of Mickey Ts when I dropped to 5psi on a real hot summers day in powder like sand. Ended up waiting for the sun to go down and the sand temp to lower before we got out!
Ohhhh you know our struggle! Don’t think we’d make that same mistake again but you’re right through, those memories are forever in our face with those pin stripes, we won’t be forgetting that trip for a very long time. 😂
Yes chef, No Chef….“ Stress less pet it’s alright I know what your going through “ not really I just like saying that when someone is having a teary ! So are how long have you been on your lap around Australia Lil? Sandy Cape is just North Of Perth. I still can’t believe you have to pay so much to camp and you’ve said it costs Eight hundred a “week” to travel around Australia$$$ I know I’m still living in the eighties right😅. Anyhow it’s all good, I’m a newbie here and I look forward to watching your travels. 😊 Cheers thanks for the entertainment.
On the 9th we will have been on the road for 6 months!! Wild how quickly it’s going. Yeah, we have found it pretty expensive as we cruise along the coast! 😅 Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Can guarantee you’ll get some entertainment around here! 😂😂
You poor buggers. You may already know this but you can drop tyre pressures a lot more than most people think. I reckon even 10psi for your rig and 12psi on your Van? Worth a short test if you have a compressor. I hope you have an awesome time travelling. Eventually!!!
Thanks Jamie! Yea tyre pressures are key aren't they, I think in the end we were at about 15 on the car and 20 on the van, but we should have been at that from the start! Thanks for watching!
Loved the amateur hour. " we can't be bothered putting our tyres down". Bang bogged. Let's put Maxtrax down and not even drive on them. Slowdown, take your time and think before you do something or stay on bitumen and caravan parks. Sorry for your down day.
Guys, this was as hard to watch for us as the real dramas where for you guys...FYI..tyre deflation is NOT 22 front,26rear...18 front 20 rear. That is bullshit...its look at the tyres base footprint, deflate until you can see it PHYSICALLY bell out at the bottom. (not all tyres are same construction)..If that is 12 front 14 rear so be it, but you dont steer aggressively or over roar the guts outa your truck. I have recovered many drivers that work to the 20/24 or 16/22 rule because they read/heard it somewhere.....the belling out of the base of the tyre is what you need. Another fact...easiest way to get out of a bog, is DONT get bogged in the first place, by that I mean deflate before the first sign of trouble, not once your in it...Cheer up guys, what doesnt kill you only makes you stronger.....Safe travelling..
Gosh, it was a tough day. I think we are still recovering from that one. 😂 You’re absolutely right though, we are usually the first ones the deflate the tires but I think the day just took us by storm and by the end of it, we got lazy! The bogging was completely our fault. Cheers for the advice and thanks so much for watching! 🤩✌🏽

I can’t believe you put this on TH-cam.
Thank you so much for sharing this.
You must of recognised what you did wrong when editing.
It was one bad thing after another.
The day that you will never forget.
I say this for others reading the comments as I am sure you know now.
Sometimes you need to stop and have a cuppa or a beer and think about the position you are in and what your next step is.
1: going up the first track with a van in tow without checking it out first.
2: going a different way out the next day.
3: not turning around when you had the chance.
4: being so exhausted you couldn’t let the tyres down and just wanting to get in and rest.
5: the loss Maxtrax would of still been there the next day for you to find.
I am so sorry about the fridge slide and door.
No one is to blame, it’s one of those things that happen.
Reflect on what happened and grow from it.
Safe travels and thanks for showing us your bad days as well as your good days.
You should have seen when we were editing it how hysterical we thought the whole day was! You’re so right, when you’re in the moment if feels like your whole world is crashing down but when you take a step back and reflect there’s so much opportunity for learning and growth! Thank you so much for the comment and for sharing in on the fun. 🥰
@@lilandjake Mate I am now 81 & still learning.
We have done a lot of tough tracks, stuff up & brake things, plus get the p....r taken out of us by our mates half our age! 😊
Actually love that guys keep it real and show what it’s really like on the road, the good bad and ugly unlike some of the other channels showing only sunshine and rainbows 😂 Crack up Lil having a breakdown but poor Jakey doing all the hard yards 😂 keep up livin the dream team!
Absolutely!!! You’ve got to because it does get tough sometimes! The highs are incredible but the lows can be so tough on the road. Cheers for following along! 🤩
Drop tyre pressures even more it will reduce your stress big time❤
Absolutely, in the end we were down to 8, and 10!! We probably didn’t think it would be as bad as it was. Live and learn hey. 😂😂
did you drop the camper too
I have theory with the maxtracks.
What if bits of rope were tied to each maxtrack then enough rope was allowed to get to the back of van then as you go past the van pulls the tracks out?
Fuck the max tracks unless you in a mud pit 10 car and van 5 if ya screwed and go slow and don’t turn in lowest gear possible
@12 minutes I saw that and thought holy crap 😳... too high even without towing. Hey it's all a learning curve I guess. Unfortunately that's how tracks get destroyed. 💯% avoidable if you lowered pressure all round van included. At no point did I see a deflated tyre
OMG you guys, so sorry you had to go through that hell!! Our anxiety levels rose through roof watching it. Needed a stiff drink to calm the nerves😂 In all seriousness, it's days like this that make you appreciate the good days even more. Keep up the great work and never stop smiling.
WHAT A DAY!! It was such a mission. I’m sorry you had to go through all of that with us. 😂😂 we needed a solid three days of maxo relaxo to recover! You’re so right, we really do appreciate when we have an amazing day or find an amazing spot. Sometimes the risk pays off, sometimes it doesn’t. 😂 thanks so much for watching!! 🧡
It's a great feeling when ya know no matter what happens ya got each other and eventually pull through.
You are absolutely right, there is nothing better than lapping Australia with Jake, and I hope he feels the same about me! 😅😅
Awesome video Lil and Jake! You guys will learn from your experiences and be better prepared when a similar situation comes along. Loved the rawness of you banter between each. Australia is a tough country and you are experiencing beautiful scenery, the envy of many who will never be able to make that journey. Through your camera, you are the eyes of those who can only gaze on in wonderment of our wonderful country. Keep the video's rolling on.
Thanks a million Peter!! You couldn’t be more right, live and learn we reckon! We count our lucky stars everyday at how grateful we are to be living this dream of travelling Aus!! ✌🏽✌🏽
Thank you so much for sharing all your hardship and mistakes. Hopefully you well save so many others going down the same path.
Cheers Kevin! We love to give you the real version of what it’s like living on the road! You live and learn hey 😅
Omg guys!!!!!! What a thrilling episode. Christian and I were in hysterics because your reactions were so you (and lil I would have been like you). Absolute legends that handle difficult times so well. Glad you got out of the negative ok. All our love xxx
You two!!! 🤍🤍🤍 What an emotional ride! 😂 I was so confused then so sad… like what bad luck atm. Or maybe we are just stupid. 😅 Missing you both!! 🥰
I’ve just discovered your channel and I love that your vids are real. Real emotion and real challenges. We are doing a lap right now and we know all too well that it’s not all shits and giggles. I’m stoked you’re showing people all aspects of your journey. 👌
Thanks so much Brad!! So stoked you’re enjoying watching our channel. Gotta keep it real around here hey. How epic are the adventures, the downs make the ups sooo worth it! 🤩🤩
Feeling for you guys. Thanks for your transparency good luck and keep going
Cheers David!! So glad you enjoyed watching, we love to keep it real around here! 🤩
OMG our hearts were breaking watching the carnage we were holding our breath. Love you guys please take care and try to keep smiling.❤
Awwww Trevor! ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much. That’s so nice of you that you care. It was such an emotional day. 😂 don’t worry, we picked ourselves up and we are back on track! 🤩
So glad I came across this clip today.
I will use this clip for educational purposes on how not to drive in sand.
Hi guys regards tyre pressure, you will be amazed at how low you can drop pressure and not damage anything. We run 10 and 15 psi in our old gq which is heavy but not towing . Also the van needs to be low as well. Anyway you’ll get that worked out. As well as bumps and rattles you’ll get some bush pinstripes which show you’ve been trying. Keep your chins up guy’s experience gives you confidence cheers Laurie
You’re totally right, some really good tips there. Still have so much to learn but slowly and surely! It’s all about the experience, and the many, MANY pinstripes that come with it! 😂
And don't spin the wheels!
You dig great holes that way.
@lilandjake been watching your videos for awhile now. what's your honest thought on the ranger and hows it been mechanicaly on your trip
I feel your pain with the fridge slide. Broke mine too (but it was my fault). True travel video showing the bad days you had. Without the bad days, the good would not seem so enjoyable. I’m new to watching your channel but you have me hooked now.
Damn, sometimes it’s just a bit of bad luck hey. We obviously got some new slides from Bunnings but we really need to invest in some more heavy duty ones again. You’re absolutely right though, gotta have to bad to appreciate the good more! How epic!!! So glad to have you along for the ride. 👌🏼
New subscriber here and enjoying your videos.
As for sand driving, lower tyre pressures (before you hit the sand) on both the tow vehicle "and" your caravan. 15PSI is a good start but consider going lower if required.
However, don't do sharp turns or drive too fast , as with lower tyre pressures, you run the risk of rolling the tyre off it's bead/wheel rim.
Max Tracks are great and to make finding them easier, tie a "much longer" brightly coloured strap/rope to them, about a 6 metre length should be long enough and lay it out to the side of your bogged vehicle. (At a 90 degree angle) To avoid it getting covered/buried in sand/mud.
These Chinese made vans are extremely flexible due to poor design and more so because of poor quality items/materials used in their build, which probably caused your fridge door compartment to "spring open", (despite being locked) on rough and bumpy tracks. Be mindful of this problem as it.could very well happen again.
Enjoy your experiences, good and bad and everything in between. 😊👍👍
Thank you so much for subscribing and sharing so many useful tips! You couldn’t be more right about the PSI, sometimes we don’t realise and it’s too lake! Agree with the maxtrax straps, the ones they give you are way to short, still lose them every time. We’ve started just putting tie down straps on them and it’s made such a difference! 👌🏼🤩
Omg! That was stressful to watch can't imagine what it was like for you both. I hope you can eventually look back and laugh. Hats off to you both for showing the not so fun side of caravan travels. 👍
Sorry you had to go through that with us! 😂😂 you should have seen when we were editing this video, we were DYING laughing with how ridiculous that whole saga was. 😅
Wow... that was an important learning experience, you did well 👍
Thanks Danny, you’re so right! It was a MASSIVE DAY, we can look back now and know that sometimes we need to slow down hey! 😂
Hi guys, try not to stress too much in these situations. Drop tyre pressures . Don't be lazy it makes life so much easier and fun. Love your setup and look forward to more videos. Your a funny couple and great people. Sorry you bought a ford Ranger but have an awesome time.
Absolutely, the emotions were high being the first day back on the road after sooo long! You could not be more right, in hindsight, we should have dropped them! Thanks for much for watching, even if we do have a Ranger (Jake would kill me for saying that) 😂😂😂
@@lilandjake hahahaha
Look at you two go making memories….awesome episode can not wait for the next on 🍿👀
Thankyou! Such nice comments is what makes it all worth it at the end of the day! Thankyou so much for watching! See you next week!
Did you guy let air out of all tyres 🤔
Bought our first 22ft caravan in 1976 as young newly married couple. Had the whole centre support come down in the caravan on our way to Broome. We had to weld the support into place. Roads up there unsealed in those days. Then to 4x4 camper trailer for many years and now a hybrid. Check, check and final check before getting in the car. We all learn from experience on the road.
Enjoying your content and its fantastic to see so many young people enjoying our beautiful country. Subbed. Couple rolls of duct tape are essential. Just think in a while you’ll remember this and laugh.
Oh my leonie! What a horror story! I couldn't imagine what it would have been like! Glad to hear your in a hybrid now! I hope you like it! Yes ductape has saved our lives more times than we would like to admit! Thanks for the comment and Thanks for watching!
Phew 😢 what a day, we were exhausted just watching. Soooo glad you found the Max Trax, great work Jake. Please stay off the hard tracks if you can. It's a bit stressful 😅
Sooo glad because they’re expensive! 🤑🤑🤑 and sorry, we can’t guarantee anything! 😂
We are so with you Lil and Jake! What a day, but it happens to the best of us xx We love your channel! So raw and what it's all about ✨️🌈
It was such a rollercoaster! You’re right, sometimes it just happens.. makes you appreciate all of the good days! Thank you so much for your kind comment, it means the world to us. Glad we can bring some reality to TH-cam! 🧡🧡🧡
@@lilandjake thanks 😊
Just subscribed, what an entertaining vid. Keep them coming
Yiew!!! You absolute legend! Thank you so much, we can guarantee some good content coming. 🤩😉
Make yourself up a trailer hub with a 13 inch tyre welded to a bit of RHS. You attach it to the draw bar on a pivot (like a big arse jockey wheel). You can then disconnect and either snatch or winch the trailer out of trouble. I did it on my camper trailer works a treat
Talk about carnage, your vids come out on Sundays, and all day I thought it was Sunday, even phoned my wife up to know why she’s working on her day off, but seriously great “ Real Life” with no glitz and glamor only honesty, we’ve all been there,, ( but not as bad “ yet” ) and you handled it with grace. You’ll love port Gregory if you haven’t passed it yet, great spot, for your boat and fishing. Til next Sunday, Saturday or whatever, thanks for the ride.
We totally didn’t mean to realise it today but for some reason we thought Sunday was the 1st so we scheduled it and woke up realising we’d put the wrong date!!!! That is hysterical though, we are so grateful you use us as a calendar reminder. 😂😂 unsure when we will post next week now though considering the vid is going well! You’re so right, though, we hope that we can be the unfiltered version of TH-camrs travelling Aus!! Happy SATURDAY!! ✌🏽✌🏽
So sorry that day was sooo bad glad u eventually got thru. I think I may be a sadist because it was so funny to watch u two interact
Omg 😂😂😂 Love the honestly, and to be honest, I (Lil) was laughing soooo hard when I was watching the video back. We were so dramatic - I think rightly so, but hilarious. 😂
Hang in there guys...be supportive of each other and remember that you are experiencing a wonderful journey that will be with you for the rest of your lives ❤
Sometimes you just have to yell at each other.. but you’re very right, we are so lucky 🤩 and you should of seen us editing and watching back. Sooo funny in hindsight. 😂
Guys you handled this really well, glad your ok . Learning and still loving is wonderful. Stay safe
That is honestly such a kind thing to say! Thank you so much for your wonderful words, we really appreciate it. 🧡
That is honestly such a kind thing to say! Thank you so much for your wonderful words, we really appreciate it. 🧡
Sh!t happens, don't freak out, stop, pull your chairs out sit down, have a drink or a smoke, and assess the situation, work out a solution, going at it with high emotions will make you do the wrong thing.
Just watched this video, good luck and I wish better things for you in the future. I add the comment "Don't blame you partner as the driver YOU! are responsible for ensuring your vehicle is fit for travel, you should have checked all doors before driving off!!!!"
Good luck😊
Thank you!! We need all of the luck we can get these days. 😂😂
Worst day on the road. Still better than working in an office or a factory. Good stuff.
Nothing truer, cheers Jeff!! While this wasn’t a great day, we are always so grateful to be on the road!
Hey guys, im a fairly new subscriber and just going over some of your old videos. just wanted to say thanks for posting even the shit stuff as in when things go wrong. love your temper Jake. its not really even a temper. angry about the slide but its so micro on the grand scheme of things hahaha. keep up the smiles and good work and look forward to the new vids.
WOW - huge day…..great job in finding the tracks….need a sand anchor to use the winch.
Massive day!! 😅 isn’t Jake such a legend for never giving up. Good idea too, hopefully we won’t be needing it anytime soon. 😂
Excellent vid , we all have them nightmare days. Always let the tyres down, even if I’m not towing anything I air down at the sight of soft sand. It’s easier on you and the gear
You’re absolutely right! Usually we are the first to say let the tires down but we were exhausted and not thinking straight!! Had our time again and we’d be down at 8psi. 😂 Happy Easter Brett! 🤩
I'm sorry guys but this is the best episode ever, I feel for you both the troubles you've been through and all but you will see the funny side when or if you ever get old like me. Keep the journey alive, you have got it ! Surely. cheers Michael
Great work Jake in finding the tracks 👍
Absolutely! Google maps satellite and you can find so many cool tracks! 🧡
@@lilandjake i meant Maxtracks 😅 lol
Ohhhhhhhh, that too!! Gotta keep going because they’re sooo expensive! 😂😂😂
I’d love to know what choice words were said off camera 😂. Tbh, i feel so much better now, i thought this sort of crap only happened to us. This is my first video i have watched of you guys, you just got yourself a new sub, now to catch up on all your previous videos. Thanks for sharing, best wishes for the remainder of your travels.
Some things too terrible for TH-cam, we had to cut a lot out! 😂😂😂 Ohhh don’t worry, there’s a lot to find as you dig back through the channel! Oodnadatta if you want a real cracker, I (Lil) can hardly watch that video back! 😬 Thank you so much for watching and subscribing we are so grateful and promise you won’t be disappointed. 😂😂
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but tie a rope to each MaxTrax and throw them to the side. Makes recovering the tracks much easier
Yeah!! Great tip Yabbz, we need to remember to do this more often! We always get caught out. 😅😅
I couldn't believe what an absolute crap day you guys had, if wasn't for the heart felt emotions shown, I wouldn't have believed it wasn't staged.
I guess you've learnt the lessen the hard way that when driving in WA's dunes or on the beaches, always, always, take the time (10 min) to air down, especially when towing, air down your van as well, it was obvious to those watching and hopefully yourselves when you were editing that the wheels on the van weren't rolling over the top of the sand but almost being dragged through it, the van was acting as an anchor.
Lucky Bay (Nth) is notorious for it's soft sand, research where you are going.
This is the first video of yours that I've watched, so I'm not sure if you have a drone or not but if not, get one, they are not only good for content but also for scouting tracks ahead which might have saved some pinstripes (and maybe your fridge slide) if you'd used it to see whether you'd be able make it out the way you hoped or be able to turn around at Sandy Cape.
Anyway, this isn't meant as a knock down, loved true emotions, keep the the real life content coming and enjoy yourselves out there and continue to learn and grow your channel.
It doesn’t get much worse than that does it!! We keep it real around here, that’s for sure, ugly tears and all. Got to live and learn though hey! 😅
Yeah, we’ve got a drone! Use it all the time but that’s a great idea to use it for a bit of track investigation! 👌🏼👌🏼
Thanks so much for the comment!! 🤩🤩
Hey guys what a day! You definitely love pushing the limits. Both I and wifeeeee love watching your episodes. That's the second time the camp host has told a TH-camr to camp on the beach. WhileWe'reYoung were bogged in the same exact spot at Lucky Bay and turned around 100m back to the camp grounds. I think the camp host gets a kick out of it.
Thanks guys for watching!! 🤍 How hilarious is that! We saw another 5 cars at least get bogged there!! I reckon you could be into something, the sand was soooo soft, I don’t know why he was recommending us go there. 😂😂
It doesn't seem like it at the time but it's all part of the adventure and the challenge of overcoming adversity. You will have some great stories to tell your grandkids. 😂😂😂 Love your never say die attitude Jake😊
Pretty raw, it’s so disappointing with the money people spend on caravans that the manufacturers take so long to send you something so basic as a door
Absolutely David, we agree. When you are forking out so much money for something brand new we have found it’s easy for the companies to forget about you once the money has been finalised! Happy Easter! 😊
Wow that was carnage guys😞 I can’t believe that no one stopped to help you out. On the bright side lucky bay is beautiful but a bit windy when we visited. I hope you stop in at Gladstone bay on your way up north it’s well worth a night or two. Safe travels and keep smiling 😊
It doesn’t get much more hectic than that does it Dave! There was actually no one else on the track, we didn’t see one soul the whole drive between camps. If anything, I think that proves it wasn’t the best idea. 😂😂😂 Isn’t it stunning, at least the rock shelf protects bigger waves for coming in at the snorkelling spot quite a bit. Absolutely!! That part of the coast is stunning!!! Thanks so much for your comment and keeping up with our travels. ✌🏽✌🏽
40psi club
✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽
I've had days where I was bogged in shell grid for 8 hours.
The beach was called the Dogfence near NundarooSouth Australia.
Even a tornado came through and picked up my sleeping bag and took it into the ocean. Car absolutely demolished by the bush after that, trying to find another route further up the beach. The 100 series land cruiser was pin striped to hell.
Finally went fishing and caught a Mulloway. Taking a photo the fish fell out of my arms and a 10/0 hook went straight through the middle of my thumb. Had to pack up at midnight and drive to Ceduna hospital to get it out 😂. When shit goes wrong it can go bloody wrong lol.
Wow, what a day, or a couple from hell!! How’s your thumb now? I don’t think either of us would cope with the hook through the finger… 🤮 Lucky you made it out the other side and hopefully you can have a laugh about it now. 😂
She says he never gives up and he found them you really got bulged down and the hand's to prove it Congratulations you made it out And how are your hands doing now
Fireman 🔥🔥🔥
How amazing was it when he found them!! 🤩🤩 Poor hands, they are all mended now, thankfully! 😌 hope you’re well Fireman!! ✌🏽✌🏽
You guys are awesome❤ thanks for including your true selves and raw emotions👌🏻
We all have those days all you wanna do is bury ya head in the sand and be done with it!!🤬🤬🤬
That’s where you just crank up the music, have a few beverages to try n chill. How the hell you kept your cool is amazing cause I would’ve had to bleep every 3 seconds🤪🤪🤪
Shit happens re your fridge door. It sucks dogs balls to the max
Those max trax are like finding treasure🤩🤩🤩
You know that’s what you’ll always get around here!! Two lunatics baring all! 😂 Absolutely, we did have to cut a couple more f bombs out because we were not impressed at all. 😅 Can you believe Jake found them!! Talk about never giving up. 🤩🤩
@@lilandjake he’s a trooper but he’s like me, stubborn in wanting results and determined not to give up.
I’m disappointed with some of the comments people are leaving, like they’re the full professionals and you guys are kids and have no idea.
Who gives a shit if you make mistakes. Have a laugh about or cry and move on. That’s life and experience. 🤣🤣
Oh my…what a drama filled episode. The joys of off road. We have had our tyre pressure down to 8 psi…don’t be afraid to drop them down.
Absolutely Lisa! What a day it was, one we won’t forever for a while that’s for sure! You’re definitely right, we are usually the first to drop the tires but I think after the day we’d had we were too exhausted and weren’t thinking! Cheers for watching! 🤩🤩🤩
@@lilandjake but does make for exciting viewing 😂😂😂
You two are a faaaaarkin' CRACK UP!!! 😂😂😂👏
You guys are awesome
Cheers Dave!! You are awesome! 😎😎😎
Put some lengths of bright coloured rope on max tracks and lay out to side so you find them, it's worse losing them in the mud!
Yes!!! We need to do that, the maxtrax ones that come with them are far too short. Gosh, I never want to lose them in mud! 😅😅😅
Can’t beat a good shit day, makes epic viewing for us ha ha, you got thru it so calmly Jake🤙
Looking back now we laugh but at the time it was horrible. But yes definitely a good memory! Thanks so much for watching!
That's what you call learning from experiance all part of it
Totally Ian!! It’s all about the journey hey, so much to learn, so much to experience!
Lay out the max tracks then drive around them? 🤨Mind you I don't do anything.
Its hard to see where they are when they’re down and you’ve already been over them. 😅😅😅 you’ll have to give some 4wding a go sometime! 🤩
Sorry things didn't work out for you there.
We can certainly make mistakes that's for sure.
Have a safe trip out there.
From William

South Australia 🇦🇺
Cheers William, we really appreciate that. Since this, things have been running pretty smoothly thankfully. 😅 How we loved Mount Gambier, gosh that feels like a lifetime ago!! Lil & Jake ✌🏽✌🏽
I know your pain it’s part of owning is fixing and making stronger, I had my door fall off on the first night of camping trip and it was held together with gaffer tape till I got to a hardware store
So true!!! You learn and improve! Glad you got to sort it but we get it, you’ve got to be innovative when you’re a while away from a town with supplies! 😅😅 happens to us far too often! 😂
Best place for a off road adventure is close to home,
Love getting out and exploring Aus! 😍
Hi guys I just subscribed love seeing your post
Awwww, thank you so much Peter!! Glad you’re going to stick around! ✌🏽✌🏽
Get yourself a steel spike around 8 to 10 mm put a handle on it and it will find your tracks so much quicker and easier just run along the tyre track and poke the rod in along the way until you hit solid the best way to locate your tracks, and lower your tyre pressures big time to 4 psi if you have to you have a compressor no big deal stay safe keep up the great videos
I’d like to know what tyre pressures you were running
Van included?
We were running 20 at the car and 25 at the van then when we got bogged went down to 10 in the car and 15 in the van! We usually drop down the tires much sooner but the day beat us and we were exhausted! 😅 Happy Easter Dave! 🤩🤩
I was so worried for your transmission too guys. Such soft sand!!!
Yes we were too! Luck we have an external transmission cooler and we always keep an eye on the gauge, thanks for thinking of us!
What tyre pressure are you running? I'd be going to around 16psi and on the van too.
Initially we were lazy and running 20 then dropped to 12!! 😅
dang! what doesnt kill ya right?! awesome effort. Thanks for sharing, we're looking to buy the same van so watching your does and donts carefully. If you can.. maybe grab the insta360 x2 or 3 it'll change your video and editing world
Totally Deno!! You should definitely, we do really love it, sometimes we just push it a little too hard. 😂😂 Gosh, we were looking at videos made with one the other day. They look epic!!! 🤩
What, No shovel, seriously
Tie the max tracks to the front and rear bars using those straps.
I couldn't believe the whinging. Man, I'd be walking with all that. Cudos though, you kept your cool and kept at it. I reckon you could've dropped your tyre pressures down more. Oh, and my comment - as straight as you guys are with what goes on. Nice change from the rose coloured glass presentations.
Thanks for the tip! That’s what you’ll get around here, always the truth! Some days are good, others, not so much! 😅
The crying into the camera does it for me
Hahah, sorry about that! Just trying to show our REAL lives!
Thanks
Cheers! ✌🏽✌🏽
Do you guys reduce pressures on your van tyres? I let mine down to 15-20 psi and it makes a huge difference. Yours look like they're ploughing and barely spinning
Hey!! Thanks for the tip, yeah we always drop our tires on the van when we drop the car. Most of the time the problem is when the van comes out of the cars tracks! 😅😅😅
Hey!! Thanks for the tip, yeah we always drop our tires on the van when we drop the car. Most of the time the problem is when the van comes out of the cars tracks! 😅😅😅
Lil and Jake, did you guys know that letting your tyres down increases your traction as it gives you a bigger footprint of your tyre.
You need to lower all tire pressure down to at least 16psi or even lower to get more traction when driving on sand dunes.
You need your tyre pressures at about 10-12psi in the van and car, but try and avoid sharp turn at speed
Thanks for the tip! We are usually the first ones to drop them down but we were exhausted and made the rookie error of not dropping them further! 😅 You live and learn I suppose. 😂
the blind leading the blind....shambolic
You drove on soft sand without first dropping air? My god.
If you watch any of our other videos you’ll know we’re always the first to drop the tires, this day beat us and we were EXHAUSTED, not thinking straight! 😅 Happy Easter! 🤩🤩
@@lilandjake same to you guys, hope you're doing well. Still, I think you made yourselves more exhausted?
lots of tears maybe colin could come back with all the stress poor jake's hands
Hahahah, noooo! Happy without him. 😂
Last episode Jake put the wrench in front of the fridge literally to prevent the fridge busting through the door.
Good pick up Bruce! The last episode was actually filmed after this one and I have to put that there now after my dodgy fix up! Thanks for watching!
My heart honestly went out to you guys.
I love your videos.
They are getting me through a pretty tough time.
We send you so much love Bruce! ❤️ Glad we can be here to try and put a smile on your face! 😊
BCF didnt have fridge slides?
Gee Guys
Wait till you have been bogged for two weeks in mud.
Yes those max tracks can go 3 to 4 feet under the sand.
Fantastic reminded us of our shitty days.
In the mud we even tried to winch them out ( no go snapped them )
Go the digging Legendary
Good on you Guys 😂
Barry!! That sounds bloody awful, I think we can hold off on experiencing that for a little while! 😂
Didn’t Jake do a ripper job finding them, never gave up, and the hands to prove it! 😂
Happy Easter! 🤩
We've been down to 2psi all round to get up off a beach at Wilbinga. Sometimes you've gotta go lower.
You’re so right!! Better off going lower than higher, usually we never make this mistake but this day just broke us. 😂
Got to be real careful under 10psi - to much wheel spin and high temps can start to delaminate your tyres from the inside. Had it happen to a set of Mickey Ts when I dropped to 5psi on a real hot summers day in powder like sand. Ended up waiting for the sun to go down and the sand temp to lower before we got out!
Wow now that’s a day out.😮
Could not be more right Kim! THAT WAS A DAY OUT! 😂😂😂
Made hard work of that sand track
all the stripes and carnage creates great memories..... yeah track north of sandy cape gets tight... ive made the same mistake too. Enjoy
Ohhhh you know our struggle! Don’t think we’d make that same mistake again but you’re right through, those memories are forever in our face with those pin stripes, we won’t be forgetting that trip for a very long time. 😂
@@lilandjake hey which editing software do you guys use?
We are using Lumafusion and have been dabbling with premiere pro but that’s taking a bit to learn 😅
I didn’t realise I replied on my personal account! 😂 you get the gist!
Yes chef, No Chef….“ Stress less pet it’s alright I know what your going through “ not really I just like saying that when someone is having a teary ! So are how long have you been on your lap around Australia Lil? Sandy Cape is just North Of Perth. I still can’t believe you have to pay so much to camp and you’ve said it costs Eight hundred a “week” to travel around Australia$$$ I know I’m still living in the eighties right😅. Anyhow it’s all good, I’m a newbie here and I look forward to watching your travels. 😊 Cheers thanks for the entertainment.
On the 9th we will have been on the road for 6 months!! Wild how quickly it’s going. Yeah, we have found it pretty expensive as we cruise along the coast! 😅 Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Can guarantee you’ll get some entertainment around here! 😂😂
Might be an idea to actually drive on the max trax
Oh god, what a day!
Could it have gone any worse. 😂😅
You poor buggers.
You may already know this but you can drop tyre pressures a lot more than most people think.
I reckon even 10psi for your rig and 12psi on your Van? Worth a short test if you have a compressor. I hope you have an awesome time travelling. Eventually!!!
Thanks Jamie! Yea tyre pressures are key aren't they, I think in the end we were at about 15 on the car and 20 on the van, but we should have been at that from the start! Thanks for watching!
If that’s the worst thing that’s gonna happen to you, well you’re gonna have a good day!
You’re absolutely right!! We’re pretty lucky to be out here doing what we love! 👌🏼
Tyre pressure 👍🍻🇦🇺
Great tip! Thanks cobber! 🤩
WoW!😅
What a day hey!! 😂
fine sand over there.
Yeah and the heat makes such a difference too!! 😅
Have you thought about finding a sponsor for a RTT?
That’d be epic but we love the boat and all the shenanigans we go through with the caravan. 😂
@@lilandjake lol... love your honesty!😀😀😀

What else….
ATGANI…..

NO

Just out here having a bloody fabulous time!!! No idea but we don’t care! 😂😂😂
Definitely tyre pressure too high
We tow a van on the beach and weigh over 7t tyre on van down to 15 and the car 10psi never been stuck
Is all this really worth it, It must be for you guys
It’s all part of the adventure for us. The ups and the downs!! ☺️☺️☺️
@@lilandjake I get it, it's my conservative side coming out I do a lot of traveling around Aus but rarely push my equipment to the limit,
GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ
Tell us about it!!! 😂😂😂 WHAT A DAY!
Loved the amateur hour. " we can't be bothered putting our tyres down". Bang bogged. Let's put Maxtrax down and not even drive on them. Slowdown, take your time and think before you do something or stay on bitumen and caravan parks. Sorry for your down day.
Guys, this was as hard to watch for us as the real dramas where for you guys...FYI..tyre deflation is NOT 22 front,26rear...18 front 20 rear. That is bullshit...its look at the tyres base footprint, deflate until you can see it PHYSICALLY bell out at the bottom. (not all tyres are same construction)..If that is 12 front 14 rear so be it, but you dont steer aggressively or over roar the guts outa your truck. I have recovered many drivers that work to the 20/24 or 16/22 rule because they read/heard it somewhere.....the belling out of the base of the tyre is what you need. Another fact...easiest way to get out of a bog, is DONT get bogged in the first place, by that I mean deflate before the first sign of trouble, not once your in it...Cheer up guys, what doesnt kill you only makes you stronger.....Safe travelling..
Gosh, it was a tough day. I think we are still recovering from that one. 😂 You’re absolutely right though, we are usually the first ones the deflate the tires but I think the day just took us by storm and by the end of it, we got lazy! The bogging was completely our fault. Cheers for the advice and thanks so much for watching! 🤩✌🏽
Well need to get uncle rogers expert opinion on the gourmet fried rice, no msg 😮 wtf. Lol.
Get Jayco like we did. Every thing made from cardboard & tin foil. Never again.
