This is the most anticipated episode on TH-cam in the 4wd world.
Until the next mighty car mods offroad episode drops.
That's an understatement 😂
Fucking oath mate
We have been waiting for this
Seriously
As an American who has continuously watched y'all, it's amazing to see y'all take on our tracks!
Appreciate your support! Plenty more US content to come
Loving them tripping over our big tires and we all want a GU or a 79 lol
I hope you guys get to moab too.
same here. Love these guys.
Makes me really proud of America to see them come over here and enjoy it so much!
As an American who know the rubicon, the fact you made it through the rubicon on 35s with basically no damage amazes me. Awesome job and can’t wait for the next episode.
That's why it took us 4 days 🤣
@@4WD247if/when you guys come back to the US, you should check out Windrock in Tennessee. It has some amazing trails too. Scenery isn’t quite what the Rubicon is but amazing trails nevertheless. You could collab with Bleeping Jeep. He knows his way around down there. Great job and video fellas. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@DarKMatter.1a bleeping jeep collab would be epic!
The rubicon is super overrated. I've seen basically stock vehicles make it pretty easily and was nothing like i hoped when i first did it. Moab is much more difficult
The peak of wind rock has some great views, depending on clouds.
As an American who watches your content more than any other tv program, I want to say thank you for visiting our country and recording your 4WD adventures here! I cannot wait for more videos of you guys in the States!! 🇺🇸🇦🇺
Mate your trucks are unreal and that Rubicon track is absolutely stunning. Would love to visit the states ✌️
An it gets bigger. Next thing you know you're rolling on 42s, 4 linked, and struts taller than you are.
@@butcher2044 Likewise, would love to wheel in Australia one day.
AYE
This was the start of an adventure I'll never forget! Cheers boys - Tim 🤙
An absolutely EPIC adventure mate, cheers! 🍻
It’s so gooooood
Nice to see you back Tim.
Really, really nice wheeling!
Tim u drove that thing like a boss!!!
I'm going to start by saying that I AM SO PROUD OF YOU.
I'm an American viewer that has been tuned in since episodes of Glenn and John were available to me here.
Seeing this has made me realize how far this program has come. Shaun, you are a mastermind, bro. There's no way ANYONE could have foreseen this trip when it was just a Aussie 4wd print mag. What you have accomplished for not only your domestic wheeling scene, but for wheelers all over the world is LEGENDARY.
Graham, you are the friend that EVERY wheeler wants to have out there with them. Years of experience and talent has come through in this episode IN SPADES (even though you tried to kill Pete a bit) and your constant positive attitude and dedication to the team is exactly what the world needs right now.
THANK YOU for coming and enjoying our trails, and I think I can speak for every single American fan when I say "This... is as good as it gets"
Peace and Love from the Beast Coast, USA!!!
Cheers mate for all of your support! It has been a long time coming and it was an incredible epic adventure. It surely is as good as it gets! 🤙
John as in ruthy>
?
DAMN STRAIGHT! well said my friend!
With all the problems and politics in our country right now, seeing you guys being so excited to be here and enjoy what we have to offer so much really really feels great. Thank you
It was an absolute epic time!
You'd be shocked how few problems there are when you turn off the news. Life is great.
@@charlesbrown4483I can’t like this comment enough, as true as it gets
@@charlesbrown4483if you turn off the news. There are 1000 new problems starting with ethnic problems and a horrible demographic shift. But still even in its lowest america is one of the best countries to be in. Its not the greatness of america solely its the lower standards if the rest of the world. Thats how pathetic the rest of the world is. Except a few countries.
Politics in the u.s. is a vacation to freedom in comparison to politics in au.
We are that far apart. Au is much alike Chicago in political corruption and California/new York today is what au was like prior to Covid. Today you wouldn't recognize au. As a free country. Simply terrible.
So stoked to see you boys over here enjoying some of the crazy trials we have to offer! And to do it on 35’s goes to show how wild you aussies are!
35’s on loaded overland rigs.
I can think of so many places they could go in US.
Welcome!
As an American I always get stoked when people go stateside for the first time and find themselves having the time of their lives.
I love it. It's always a welcome refresher to see people putting beliefs and opinions aside to have fun with quality people in quality places.
As an American myself, I would love to have a visit in the land down under and make new friends and experiences there.
As an aussie, the whole curried sausage segment had me in tears. The restraint you guys showed was god level 😂 "At least buy me a drink first!"
That whole segment was one of the best things I've seen in a long time.
As a local to the Rubicon, this segment Put a completely new meaning to a “sausage fest”
“I’ve never come across sausages like this before”
“Yea but the sausage come across you”
guys.... your not supposed to peel it LOL
Absolute gold as an american too ... funny as!
Was in the Navy in 1980 and was lucky enough to visit Australia and was one of the greatest experiences of my life.
Never treated with such kindness. And surfed some of the most incredible spots I’ve ever seen. Truly beautiful just wish I got to wheel while there as well.
So glad y’all were properly taken care of on your visit here. We have our share of problems but what you experienced is truly who we are, a proud national of great people…much like your own I imagine
Both countries have the worst governments, infiltrated decades ago and want us all dead. It’s always good to see people still having fun, and good to each other. Us citizens need to band together and stay strong.
@@jimmylarge1148 Worst governments compared to what?
@mbsnyderc As in what they are vs what they say they are.
@@JSAFIXIT That's every government in the world most are much worse.
As a West Aussie who has traveled the world for 38 years I have to say every country has 2 things in common
1... every country has at ground level Awesome ,true,honest ,caring people !
2....All our Governments Suck, dishonest, lying, narcissistic , Sociopathic Scum,
Cabal of Criminals !
You can tell Graham is really relishing being there. He has a totally different energy about him here, and it looks like a mixture of being excited and humbled at the same time. When he had that wheel in the air at 1h05m in you could see the skill the old dog has. Back home he maybe doing a lot more touring, but make no mistake that guy can wheel with the best of them!
Truths
Yeah, the old dog can drive, that's for sure.
You dont call an aussie a dog,full stop. Have some respect.
@@darrellgee1823as an old Aussie I can assure you that, ‘old dog’ is a compliment.
Totally agree re: Grahams energy. I think he fell in love… with Rubi!
As a us resident living in CA and as someone who’s watched 4wd 24/7 for years, this is such a surreal video! So cool to see you guys in my back yard! I’ve always been jealous of Aussie wheeling destinations but love seeing the perspective from the other side.
Thanks legend! You have a beautiful back yard, it was awesome being there 🤙
As an Aussie who is lucky enough to have spent plenty of time in El Dorado County and surrounds as well as other great Ca and US destinations, I can say that the US has far better natural environments than Oz, with Ca in particular being the crown jewel for its spectacular variety. I have traveled quite extensively on Oz as well and I think for me what really blew me away around Lake Tahoe/Northern Ca in particular compared to here was the sheer number of lakes (dams) with spectacular surrounds and scenery and the snow covered peaks. You just don't get that here, and the people you meet in US in general are more polite and friendly than Aussies as well imo (gonna cop some local hate for that, I'm sure).
@@MarkRakerNot wrong mate, way different crowd in the US compared to the bogans who trash tracks and camp sites here.
@@MarkRaker Pretty much all foreigners who visit the U.S. always say how people here are much nicer and open than people in their country. It's nothing unusual to see you say the same. Of course there are "bad apples," but they're probably drugged up idiots. The general culture is about being kind, respectful, as long as others are respectful toward us. Many can get ticked off if you show them disrespect. No pushovers here, in general. 😊
Some spots are even nicer than others. There are levels to it, depending on the region.😁
@@MarkRakeras a CA local native, I wish more Oz with your mindset would come check it out. My heart is in the CA mountains
Australia has always been at the top of my list of places to go for any outdoor adventures, its such a beautiful country.
Im glad you guys had such a great time and you Aussies are ALWAYS welcome here in the states.
As an American that’s never seen a video of yours, this is so wholesome! I love to see this type of exploration from visitors I love
To see. Even domestic adventures of this need to happen more!😊
On ya mate
What a trip! Thanks for letting us tag along on this epic adventure!
Absolutely sick rig boys!
I'm so happy that you guys are having such a great time on this side of the pond. I wouldn't mind going to Australia and take the ol' tele track myself.
Mate... do it!!
Love seeing two different cultures come together showing each other our differences, just to do something that we both show love for and to have a laugh together. Wish I could have this experience in America 🇺🇸🇦🇺
We do love it when foreigners come over and appreciate and participate in our activities instead of complaining about them. I’m jealous that you’re there it’s on my bucket list. I hope you made it to Colorado and Moab. Those are my playgrounds.
I can feel hordes of Aussie 4x4ers heading to the USA already! You got me hook line and sinker, its on the bucket list! ❤🇦🇺
And here we say..."the Tele, $1k track in Tasmania, Simpson, etc... would be awesome to do."
Come on over friend, we'd love to see yah.
Move it to the top of your list, we would love to have ya! We will keep some cold ones ready.
Welcome…..🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. A very remote area not covered here…Great Basin National Park and trails off into forever. Darkest skies in N America, can see whole Milky Way with naked eye….insane
The tracks are iconic in America. As it is all over the world. I am happy to see all the Aussies I watch come over and check it out. I really hope to go to Austrailia one day before I die. Good show guys!
@ConsiderFirstCnE yes indeed, if I ever get to go I would have to stay for a few months to see all the things I want to see. I have seen every one of the lower 48 states here and it took my entire adult life.
enjoy what you have there . the restrictions on vehicles and access here make it a pointless pursuit to a large degree . Most of what you see these guys doing here is heavily frowned upon by the masses and government departments led by fools that never leave the city
Can't tell you how proud it makes me as an American to see these boys crawling all over our country. God bless and have fun boys
Awesome trip guys. Love seeing our friends from Australia wheeling one of our legendary trails.
The Great Mark Smith started the Jeep jamboree. The Jeeps started running the rubicon for actual trail use started in the fifties. Throughout its history Jeeps have been crossing in vehicles equipped with stock tires and even the Willys with military NDT tires.
Any tire size can conquer the rubicon with the proper line and vehicle recovery gear. Not always easy but rolling over obstacles is no where near as much fun as working to get through the obstacles.
So remember the old guys like myself have made it in stock vehicles.
Goodday mates. After this adventure you’ll have some great pictures to put up on the pool room wall. Haha cheers
I've taken a bone stock willys jeep through it, no problems or damage at all. The smaller vehicles can take slightly different lines and get through spots that bigger vehicles have trouble in.
As an Aussie that moved to the US and lives in South Lake Tahoe wheeling a Tacoma… this episode is surreal. Stoked you guys got to have fun in my (new) backyard!
Have you done the Rubicon Trail yourself? It's now on my bucket list but I am still in Oz.
LOL.
@@matthalpin1981You need to wheel it, it's a beautiful trail. I run it a couple times a year. There's a few other great trails here in California. If you come here you should try to hit them as well
Taken my 05 Tacoma with ARB lockers front and rear with 37” KM2, my rig went to Rubicon 7 times. With 4.88 gears, it’s not as comfortable smooth climb but a jerky climb like Aussie rigs. It definitely needs crawler gear like Marlin Crawler or Atlas to smooth craw like the “Mad Max” vehicle that you see there
I am a 4 wheeler in Sacramento and love the Tahoe basin and the El Dorado National Forest. Best 4 wheelin' within 90 minutes of anywhere.
Moved from the outback to the backwoods. Welcome!
The most intense 3 days of wheeling I've ever done! Incredible journey with some fantastic friends!
Couldn't have spent it in better company! 🤙
Hey that's my red Jeep gladiator at 2:38! I saw you guys out there but didn't get a chance to say hi. That was one busy weekend for the Rubicon trail! Glad you guys had a great time!
The sausage segment was absolutely hilarious.
You all are fantastic and one of the best channels out there. Watching you enjoy one of our trails was just incredible. Brought tears to my eyes with your comments.
Colorado next trip maybe. My doors always open for fellow wheelers haha
Cheers
When Graham said it was the best day of wheeling he ever had I cannot explain the feeling of happiness I felt. From this Californian to all our Aussie 4WD24-7 friends - we can't wait to have you back! I have a 2 door Jeep YJ on 33s and I can't wait until I can wheel the Rubicon - I'll just need to carry a ton of spare parts with me 😜
Yes I was so happy for the man.
Have decent gearing it'll help in those yjs
Yep the Con is an awesome trail. I'm glad these guy enjoyed it.
I've been looking forward to this one and you boys don't disappoint. You've done us Aussies proud. Well done!
It makes me so happy to see the smiles on their faces. I'm really glad the Rubicon was worth the effort.
Your genuine excitement and enjoyment was a thrill to watch. One of the best off-roading videos I've ever watched. So glad you guys made the trip over here. I hope this becomes an annual trip.
❤
This is one of the best movies ever made about Rubicon. They show how challenging and cool this place is. Guy on 40s make it look casual, but you guys showed how much fun you can have and how hard this place can be on a moderate modified vehicle. Would love to see someone make it on 33s and rear locker only and show how challenging it would be
My buddy brought his stock yj on 31, no lockers. He slowed us down alot but it made it though. It was.... interesting
Stock Jeeps make through all the time just takes longer with winches
I ran it two years ago with a guy in a Tacoma on 33’s with a rear locker. He did fine. It’s more about the line and driver skill. Slow and steady! 40’s seem a bit like cheating, it’s supposed to be hard!
You don't want to run a rear lock, you need a front. If you run just a rear you will have zero control, you need a front to help pull you through obstacles. I run 35's and I don't uses my lockers for a good portion of the Rubicon because I like the challenge. My sister runs 33's with lockers and she had no problems on the Rubicon.
@@timking2194to be far, most stock jeeps running the Rubicon have factory lockers and 33's minimum.
Love These guys! I‘m a German now 10 months in Australia and live in a 80 series landcruiser and they absolutely livin the dream🙌🏻 love Australia love Australiens & Love the Australien 4x4 scene❤️
Before i came to Australia i never heard of these guy’s…know i‘m the biggest fan✨keep wheeling mate’s
This was my favorite segment on the Rubicon Trail that I have ever watched. I’m glad you guys had a good time. I’m looking forward to seeing the Colorado trip! I’ve done a bunch of those trails. Can’t wait to see your reaction to the shelf roads!
We're super keen to share the rest of the trip - it's going to be a good time!
American here, I'm so glad you guys are enjoying yourselves! You guys are the reason why Australia is on my bucket list!
This brought tears to my eyes. So happy to see ya'll having fun and experiencing the 4WD culture here with a lot to take back to Oz! And I hope we see some more canopies in the States now! Can't wait to see the Colorado/Utah episodes!!
I'm 10 minuets in and I love your enthusiasm! It's reminds me of the first time I ever went off-roading, it felt just awesome. I love your attitudes too, getting stuck at the first obstacle and not letting that get you down.
Cheers mate! Absolutely loved it. What rig do you drive?
@@4WD247had a Wrangler Unlimited with a 2.5 inch lift and 35s. Unfortunately it was wrecked a few months ago due to an inattentive driver (not me). I picked up Grand Cherokee Trailhawk as a replacement.
Great episode! Awesome to see you guys enjoying the world famous Rubicon trail. I'd say you guys are officially rock crawlers now!
Growing up wheeling in the CA deserts, we do a lot of hot dogs, chili dogs, steaks and flapjacks for breakfast. Carne Asada tacos are a go to as well!
And yes, you can do the Rubicon on 35s, I think you mates proved that one!
This is WHAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR... Our Aussie guys doing the mighty Rubicon trail.
This is definitely on my bucket list... 👍
Still pinching ourselves!
You boys really did this trail justice. Well done and happy to have you over here in the states!
Thanks mate! It was an incredible trip!
What I like the most! Is they said it couldn't be done on 35 inch tires. Shows just how good you all are at wheeling! Cheers mate!
This was amazing to watch, i was locked in. W4D is way too adventurous for me, but i live vicariously watching your channel. Loved seeing us Aussies in USA
Great to see Tim back he has been missed
As an American, I'm so glad you guys mentioned how great you liked the trail and showing how much you love the outdoors is so refreshing. Keep the memories folks! Also, I think I just posted the 1776th comment. 'Merica!
I’m so envious of you guys.
I’m a 70 year young expat Brit off-roader, living 10,000 km (6,500 miles) away from where you are in California, in Romania - these last 20 years or so, and the tracks I do are really tame compared with what you do - but still I’d never be without my old trusted 80 Series manual diesel.
I watch this channel regularly, as well as the US offroad channels, plus Matt’s offroad, TrailMater, FabRats and Merlin’s OSG +++
You all have a ball doing what you do, my face aches from laughing after every episode.
Thank you all for brightening up my day with this stuff, 10/10 content, videography, your humor, the trails and the rigs.
🤣❤️🇷🇴
On ya mate.
It is absolutely amazing watching you on trails we run! This trail is epic and this video was spectacular! You guys really catch the emotional roller coaster that is the rubicon. I’ve watched you so much that I run a front bumper cb antenna 🤣
Never in my life has the thought come across for me to do some 4WD action. The past couple weeks I have binge watched your entire channel this looks spectacular! Seeing whats in the backyard here in oz and whats out there in the states! Definitely making me wanna get something together and get out there!Good on ya lads enjoy your time!
Great job boys. Good to see the Dirty 30 holding its own up against the big boys.
Throughout this episode I couldn't help thinking Jessie & Jocko would be frothing on a technical track like this. You guys will just have to go back again next year and do it all over again with the whole team.
Long time US camper - something we cook for dinner could be a:
Chicken & dumplings - a pre-cooked chicken, pulled/separated in a pot, with carrots, onion, garlic, broth, and then a super thick pancake mix dropped into the broth during the in the last few minutes to make hearty biscuits. I have a locally famous recipe if you're interested!
Otherwise, a low tech camping dinner could be "foil crud" (a loving term) - Alumnium foil wrapper with potato, onion, sausage, other roastable veg - cooked in the foil and turned until done
You took me to places in my own country on this trip that I may never it to see for myself ! My age and military disability has slowed my adventures down some ! Thank you Mates for everything ! ❤️ it
I'm an American and you guys were the ones who got me into 4WDing! Now two Humvees and two Jeeps later its one of my favorite things to do. Thank you so much for coming to America and glad you enjoyed yourselves!
in aus jeeps are for 19 year old girls from the city
@@thataustralian4078 Wrangler is a low range weapon. No two ways about that.
The 30 felt so comfortable it just wanted to lay down and take a nap😂
Leave it to shawno! Soo glad yall finally made it over here.. WELCOME!
New to your channel and really enjoyed this video! I did the rubicon a few years ago in a jeep on 33s so I can relate! After that trip I did the modifications to run 35s. It's a brutal but beautiful trail. It was fun re living it through your perspective as aussies. Happy wheeling!
Aaw, The 30 got sleepy. 😂
When the volcano goes extinct, erosion and glaciers take away the mountain, and you get to go for a drive across the solidified magma chamber with your mates. Simply awesome! 💪🏽😎
Graham really IS an Aussie! He packed his roo pouch FULL of beers😂😂😂
At least he’s not stealing all Shauno’s for once 😂
ba ha ha
Have to say this is one of the best episodes in the entire history of the show.
Everything was different, it was challenging, different vehicles, different landscapes etc.
Just epic.
“It doesn’t get any better then this”
Man I ran that trail 100's of times before and I feel the same way you do everytime I get a chance to do it. I no longer live in California now but I was smiling ear to ear watching this Awesome episode! Brings back alot of good memories!!
the springs caretaker saying "nooot thaat" was so funny
It's nice to see Graham in a rig that's just as qualified as the rest of the trucks! Looks like you guys had a blast , this episode was top tier, shout out from 🇨🇦
I am 3000 miles away on the east coast but I am still so honored that you are even in America! We're happy to have you and I'm sure I would feel the same way you do if I ever got to 4x4 Australia which is a goal of mine
Sorry we missed ya mate!! We'd love to go wheeling with you here in Las Vegas!! If you're ever back through, we have some awesome trails and phenomenal overlanding!
Good on y'all for being able to hit the premier US trail. The Rubicon is an amazing experience that will stick with you forever.
Ran this 2 years ago with a '96 XJ, a front locker, and 33s. Smaller definitely makes for a more fun adventure.
This trip is missing one thing - Jocko 🤙The snagger scene is epic 😂😂
Awesome video boys!! It's great to see just Graham and Shauno back at it hosting again. I don't mind Jacko but sometimes the 3 personalities can get to be too much. I think Graham and Shaun just work so well with each other and their personalities really offset well.
The sausage scene is gold! 😂 Glad you had a good time…
In the US, we start at 35's, 38s are the norm and my last f150 was on 44s.
Cooking, hot dogs, sausage, hamburgers, bbq pork, boiled potatoes, fried potatoes etc. If people get sick, boiled potatoes are great to settle your stomach.
that whole dialog around the sausage dinner has me in tears laughing! Love you guys and your humor! What amazing experience to take back home with you running the Ruby!
Wow WOW WOW! This motion picture was incredible from start to finish. This guy really brings it with everything he does :)
Cheers mate!
Motion picture 😂
@@theoldfirefly3978 reckon he's done it on a horse and cart!
I LOVE watching people having this much fun! 'I was just checking your spotting skills. They're pretty rubbish...' Loved it!
Here in Minnesota USA if we’re up in the Boundary Water Wilderness Area canoeing or four wheeling out in beautiful Colorado our favorite dinner is Ribeye steaks cooked over a hot coal campfire then smothered in a Whiskey cream sauce and served with smashed potatoes, roasted green beans with sea salt and homemade bread to soak up that sauce! Thank You for taking us along for the ride!
We cook beef burgers and hot dogs here in the USA! And smores!!! Funny Shauno we have the same phone! You use it for gps and I'm using mine to watch your adventures!!! Awesome seeing the 30 tackling the Rubicon it's 4am here I stayed up to watch it because I've waited weeks! Looking forward to seeing the og 30 build also!!! Graham! Cheers mate! Glad you boys made it here did the Rubicon before I've been able to myself! Really glad to seeing the boys enjoying themselves so much here!!! 4wd 24/7 is the best offroad travel show on U tube!!! I said it! Some day I would love to wheel with you guys Here or in Australia!!! Keep it coming you guys are Legends! Really glad the 30 didn't get damaged on that roll!
That was the BEST Rubicon video I've seen yet!
This was worth the wait, I'm so glad you guys made it there.
I can't wait too see how much Shauno packs it on the high trails in Colorado.
YEEEW!
I cannot get this huge grin off my face. This whole episode was amazing! What an amazing experience you guys have! Welcome to America, my friends!
How did I not hear about this until now!? I've been watching this channel since before I bought my first truck, and now they imported their rigs to drive trails that me and my buddy are planning to drive cross country to drive in summer of 25! This is beyond epic...
I loved The shenanigans cooking dinner. It’s good to see us males have the same sense of humor around the world!!!
So glad the boys from down under came to the states! Looks like yall had a blast. This video put a smile on my face almost as much as driving my Jeep. Love these guys! So glad America can lead the way with hospitality and how to keep trails clean. Great video!
I'm glad you guys had so much fun over here. There's lots of love between us and you Aussie's 🙏😞
You guys are cool. Fun seeing how stoked you are to be in the US. I grew up in Cali and live in Colorado now. I don't even wheel, I drive a subaru lol, but I really like watching all these cool rigs tackle these tough trails, especially in my new backyard, the Rocky Mountains. One day I'll have something more capable to hit the dirt and rocks with. 🤙
American here, awesome to see you guys stateside. Enjoy the trails
It'll be interesting to see if Aussie 4x4ers will change their attitude about how capable Jeeps are after this series. Even a highly modified dual cab ute would struggle on some of the trails my Jeep walks up effortlessly and all I've got is 34"s, 1.5" lift and some swaybar quick disconnect links. These things are unreal.
I'd like to see them take the jeep back and run their trails, they may have to go down in tire size though due to the laws there.
This is THE best 4WD video on TH-cam Bar none, well done guys I have never wanted to go to the US so much in my life, and well done Shauno for having you’re own 4b over there 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My brother told me about this video 4 days ago and the TH-cam Overlords added it to my feed this morning. Great way to start a Sunday morning. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Finally, I've always wanted to see how an Australian set up rig compares to the rigs we have here in the United States when it comes to off-roading
I have loved watching you guys drive the tracks in Australia and I am absolutely thrilled you got to come to the U.S. and see what we have.
Thanks mate!
Short of exact words to use but; doozy, epic, sick, awesome, not for the faint hearted, beautiful scenery, challenging, on the bucket list, clean, it’s just amazing coz I was literally making flex movements as the show was going on
This is what America is all about, being free and having a good time. !
My Dad took a stock FJ40 across the Rubicon on 32s in the late 70s with open diffs… I hope to make it across once myself… it’s so much fun to watch people from another country see our beautiful country for the first time!!!
After this I'm guessing that America is about to get an influx of Aussie 4whellers hitting those trails.
Love the vid, keep them coming guys. Cheers
This was one of the most epic episodes I have ever seen. Bloody brilliant guys. Nothing better. Looking forward to the next one. 4WD24/7 need to do more of this. Come drive the trails in Africa. Van Zyl’s in Namibia, Baboons Pass in Lesotho etc. Happy to show you round 😜
From what I’ve seen Australia is so beautiful
Here in the States we have some of the best wheeling possible thanks to special groups that keep our trails open
But hands down I have to say that the people of Australia are the most amazing. Beautiful culture. Amazing personalities. The greatest of people.
I absolutely loved this Thanks for bringing us all along for the adventure
With the highest snowfalls in California history the winter before you guys landed, you couldn't have picked a better year! Lucky boys
I’m a long time viewer here in the States and have been waiting for this episode for the longest!! So epic! We hope to see more from you guys here and hope you enjoy our beautiful country!
I have done the Rubicon trail give or take 15 times. I live pretty near there, I LOVE that you guys actually took it on. Crawlers have a problem, but some exploration rigs... That is a damn good challenge.
this video was so amazing. i’m an american 4wd driver and it was so fun watching you all enjoy the rubicon and america and everyone have so much fun. y’all killed that shit!!! so impressive!!!
@7:30 "Pays to test your winch out before you get to the bigger challenges" hahahah, nice.
So glad that you guys liked it so much. Can't wait to see the rest of your adventures.
It's fun to see your first impressions of our back yard, and one of our treasures. The Rubicon Trail is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Damn though, first camp here and you ruin a bunch of good American sausages by boiling them and then peeling off the casings?!
I've been through the Rubicon countless times and I've watched pretty much every video ever published on this trail. I've got to say that this may be my favorite video of all. You guys really illustrated what the Rubicon is all about. Keep up the good work!
As an American, your genuine joy makes me very happy and I enjoy sharing in your positivity. Thank you.
