You sing pretty good mate. I wouldn't be too hard on yourself. Always watch your videos to the end mate. They are always engaging, relative, informative and give motivation. You're out there doing what a lot of us want to be doing:-) But we have a handbrake Nothing better than a cold tinnie while you take in nature's offerings.
Thanks for your kind words mate, I’m glad your enjoying them. Nothing wrong with a good handbrake, I’m lucky the one I have in the troopy works pretty well. Cheers Wind Tech ! 👍🏼
Men in the Troopies: either they are laughing, or happy or singing. No they do all together. Greetings from my 78 from Germany. She makes me happy too. I like your videos very much.
Thanks Gaby, I only have to look at the old girl and I start to smile. As for the singing I apologise for that !! 🤦🏽😂 Thanks for watching once again! Flick me a message on Insta or Messenger and I’ll mail a few stickers your way if you’d like ?
They were insane. I hear they are attracted to blue? Eucalyptus oil and baby oil is the trick to keep them away apparently? It is a great spot. Thanks for taking the time out to watch again. 👍🏼
Another great episode mate, love your music too, coincidentally I just got back from a week away on my bike and rode past Tom Groggin station on my way to Jindabyne and then onto your neck of the woods at Mallacoota and Bairnsdale. I kept an eye out for 75TRPY but didn't see you.
Love it Brother. A video to sink our teeth into with a couple of Vodkas 👌 The old March flies hey. 😂😂😂. Classic. Great job on this one Gav Keep ‘em coming So good to see the Troopy back on the tracks. When we getting stickers and patches ??
Thanks Guys, happy to have the old girl back on the tracks! 👍🏼 Patches must be a WA things 🤷🏼 flick me a PM on Insta or messenger, I’ll sort it out! Cheers
Your videos are great. We’re Lakes locals and newbies to 4x4, we’ve been watching your movies and following your tracks. Baby tracks anyway 😂. Thanks for fun your movies bring.

@@aguyandhistroopy Possibly only local knowledge and the last time I was there was well over 10yrs ago, recently roamed around Tumut but didn''t make it back to Maragle...but...lol will get there hopefully soon!
Crossed the Murray in my 2009 3L TD Hilux in April 2011, after finishing a Tag Along thru Vic High Country from Vic to NSW. Scary solo crossing with water at 2°C and 1.4m deep (at worst), just above the bottom of the windscreen. At least I got thru with no water coming in. Nice part of Oz. Planning to go back on my solo lap/s of Oz, once my Troopy is finally delivered (ordered Feb 2022) & fitted out.
Sounds pretty hectic. Glad you made it through, would of been some flow at that depth. New troopy on the way, nice 👍🏼 I couldn’t get rid of my old girl, had it for 22 years now, it’s classed as my third child. 😂 Look forward to following your travels when you take off!
16:21 hello mate got a 75 myself really interested in the improvement made in the ride quality with the terrain tamer setup,really enjoying your content mate.
Glad you’re enjoying it. Always like it when troopy owners watch and comment. Improvement has been great. I have the remote res pro shocks from TT also, and the front swaybar removed as the mounting points for that is where I mounted the remote res for the shocks. The front really articulates, 33’s are tucking right up in the guards. The rears are only a 2plus 1 helper, don’t flex as much but I reckon they are a bit lite and a 3 plus 1 like the 78’s would be better to be able to carry more load. But overall I’m extremely happy, it’s never gunna ride like coils but it’s pretty good.
Hi Gavin another good vid wish i was with u but a long drive from tom Goggin track to haughty stream track so keep up the good work so do not for get i can come when ever u want [ ha ha ]
Thanks, I can’t help myself, always taking turns I probably shouldn’t. Often driving around hours after I should of been home. It’s all in the adventure! Thanks for watching again Ian! 👍🏼
Thanks Blair, sorted that out, now going to lose the old girl for another month while it’s goes back in for some warranty work from the repairs after the accident. Bloody can’t win. 🤦🏽
Mate you make great videos. Ever thought of showing us on a map of where you're going? . To get an idea of which part of the generally where you are. Thanks.
Thanks Steven I appreciate the feedback! I have a couple of apps that I’m looking at, but you have to remember to start them! 🤦🏽 Technology is beating me these days, I’m from the older school, but I’ll take it onboard. Cheers 🍻
Bahaha … thanks mate. You must be easily pleased. My ears nearly started bleeding while I was editing the episode. 🤦🏽 But thought it be good for a laugh, who doesn’t like to belt out a few tunes while driving !! 😂👍🏼
Sorry mate I can’t remember I tell the truth, it’s been in there for 5 years I’d say. Wish I could cause I’m not happy with the fitment of it. No where being right, contacted the mob, they said it was for a troopy, obviously it’s not, not even close. I’ll try do some research, you have a troopy?
Yeah, done a bit to it since the last time I crossed it. But the Vic side is a lot like their roads, couple of holes in it. 😂😂 How you going ? You out on the tracks filming again, been quiet !
@@aguyandhistroopy very quiet recently! Sold the patrol, bought a van and planning the big lap. Should be back in to the Vids again soon 👌got a couple of updates on Facebook.
@@brettandamber Nice! Packing the family up and taking off … that’s the go. Big decision selling the patrol? Look forward to seeing the new adventures!
Love it mate. Yeah, show us Haunted Stream I have always loved this part of the country. Boy, hasn't the Alpine Way changed. Last time I did it in my trusty HR in 88. It was a gravel track from Khancoban to Dead Horse Gap and the corrugations were horrific. Use a thong for the March flys, (the foot wear one, the other doesn't seem to work so well). Just a quick one, do you recommend a Hema? Thinking about getting one. Cheers again mate, BobbyB.
Bahaha, that’s the only thong I wear anyway !! 👍🏼 I’m looking forward to tackling the haunted stream. 88 was a long time ago now Bobby… hope you still have the HR ?? Thanks for the support 👍🏼🍻
@@aguyandhistroopy Nah mate the HR went years ago,got a new DMax now. Waiting for bull bar,winch,uhf,suspension upgrade and catch can install. Then lith battery,and I’m off . Cheers BobbyB.
Wouldn’t waste you time really, not much to it Shad. I’ve been wanting to do Davies High Plains track for a while, but I’m pretty sure it’s closed. Coming back to work next swing via Mt Gibbo. So might check out DHP see what it’s like.
Nice informative vid mate. Well constructed. The Tom Groggin track coming out of Haunted Stream Trk looks steep if u look at the trees on the side there is a serious angle. And yes when u can please do Haunted Stream trk please 🙏🏼 keep it up mate!!
Thanks Adam, I hear it’s open no Haunted Stream, so hopefully I’ll be on it soon, still have a few things that need to fixed on tbd troopy which might keep it off the road for a little while ! 🤦🏽
With the whole why your alone thing you have the music down packed but not the singing so much 😂😂 also a quick question do you have any stickers left....
That last gate says private property. Is it true that a number of public roads are on private property in the high country. Is the trick that it does not say no access?
Yeah David, Classed as a gazetted road so access is allowed. Just do as the sign says pretty much. There will be farmers etc that will try keep you off their land full stop. So if it says no entry-access well your putting your life in ya own hands. I’ve traveled some remote places where I’ve gone to the farmers and asked permission, only twice they have said no. Just need to respect there property, close gates etc. last thing you want is a angry farmer with a 303 pointed at ya.
That was a good 1 mate nothing wrong with that song choice 👌 might see you on australias got talent 😂 haunted stream track has been in my list for quiet awhile ill definitely get there soon cheers for sharing mate bring on the next 1 that climb looks awesome
Gav another top video, those March flies mate even the old bushman’s spray does not work. Great see you enjoying yourself, nice set up as well buddy, beats working hey? Take Care and be safe out there

Thanks Mate, it’s good to have it back on the tracks. Shoot me a message on Insta with your address. I’ll give you a reply. I’m not tech savvy enough to set up a link for them. 🤦🏽
very cool trip mate and some awesome vid - glad to see the old girl back in the hills, what's your thoughts on the parabolic springs when compared to the std version, I'm doing a fit out and thinking of including a swap over (94 troopy and still got orig suspension all round), not that it will necessarily need to change just that it might give me some extra comfort. Cheers
Hey Steve, I’m still up in the air on them. They definitely ride better, more comfort but not game changing. I have the Pro Shocks with remote reservoirs. I don’t run a sway bar so they flex well in the front. Terrain Tamer only do the 3 leaf option on the back for the 75 series So I’m going to have to do a new rear fit out in the back, lose the drop down slide and a few things to drop the weight, but I need to lose weight anyway. So probably a good thing. PM me on FB Messenger, can go into more detail.
thanks mate, that's prob all I needed to know for the mo & I don't have FB.....sorry🤠🤷♂- the improved comfort is the only reason I would change as I don't necessarily want or need the to do a lift, I'll see how the weight comes out after the full fit, the old springs were pretty level front to back with a set of full-length black widow draws in the back so should be fine. Cheers
Thanks for the Sub David, I use to sleep in the back for most of the 22 years I’ve owned it, with the occasional swag trip. But I believe sleeping in the back causes condensation on the roof which in the end has contributed to a lot of rust in the roof gutters. Plus sleeping in a swag frees up a lot of space- space that I don’t need to rearrange for the bed, especially now running a lot of camera gear etc. and frees me up to put stuff where the sleeping area would normally be. Cheers 👍🏼
Out of interest, once off Tom Groggin Tk you hit Mt Hope then Beloka onto Limestone into Omeo then south to the start of Haunted? But no footage, there is some cracking country in all of that. You've gotta go back and show the peeps😄
There is some nice spots along there, that Macfarlane outcrop looks awesome, seen some good cascading falls off the side of Beloka Rd all before you get to Benambra. This episode was mainly about the Tom Groggin region. I’ve just dropped a full episode on the Haunted Stream Track, plus a couple of other episodes that include the Gibbo River, Hinnomunjie Bridge etc. and other sights to see around that region.
@@aguyandhistroopy Got it, watched the Wheelers Hut one and brought back memories. Hut hadn't been rebuilt when I went thru and having seen the original it was a wee bit sad but the Parks mob do a good job down there!
I’m still tweaking a things. But overall right now I’m impressed. It’s just noisey, which apparently I’ve found out now is a common fault with TT parabolic.
Hey mate, nah just took a random turn off the Great Alpine Rd as I had a bit of time up my sleeve. I’m under the impression it’s still closed for maintenance? Could be open now. Guess it won’t be as hectic as it usually is if they have been working it. But it’s in my list!
@@mattluszczak8095 nice, troopy is in for some warranty work after the repairs from the accident. Be out of action for a month. Might have to check it out when I get it back. You done it recently?

Out of interest, once off Tom Groggin Tk you hit Mt Hope then Beloka onto Limestone into Omeo then south to the start of Haunted? But no footage, there is some cracking country in all of that. You've gotta go back and show the peeps😄
There is some nice spots along there, that Macfarlane outcrop looks awesome, seen some good cascading falls off the side of Beloka Rd all before you get to Benambra.
This episode was mainly about the Tom Groggin region.
I’ve just dropped a full episode on the Haunted Stream Track, plus a couple of other episodes that include the Gibbo River, Hinnomunjie Bridge etc. and other sights to see around that region.
@@aguyandhistroopy Got it, watched the Wheelers Hut one and brought back memories. Hut hadn't been rebuilt when I went thru and having seen the original it was a wee bit sad but the Parks mob do a good job down there!
Hey mate come across ya vids I fuckin love them ❤️ keep going mate good stuff 👍 👏 👌
Thanks Troy, glad you like them, and thanks for taking the time out to watch them mate. 👍🏼
How’s new suspension
I’m still tweaking a things. But overall right now I’m impressed.
It’s just noisey, which apparently I’ve found out now is a common fault with TT parabolic.

@@lauram4444 🤦🏽
Did you do entire haunted stream track. Pretty interesting latley
Hey mate, nah just took a random turn off the Great Alpine Rd as I had a bit of time up my sleeve.
I’m under the impression it’s still closed for maintenance? Could be open now. Guess it won’t be as hectic as it usually is if they have been working it.
But it’s in my list!
@@aguyandhistroopy open bud
@@mattluszczak8095 nice, troopy is in for some warranty work after the repairs from the accident. Be out of action for a month.
Might have to check it out when I get it back.
