What extra safety items would you add to the list?

Great clip - thanks Tim. Re spare parts: worthwhile noting that, even if you don't know how to change them yourself, having the right parts can make it much easier & faster for a mechanic to change the on your trip.

Can I add No.11 load your 4WD up roughly to how it will be loaded before you head off including your trailer/camper if you are taking one ( weigh that to ) , make sure your 4x4 has full fuel & if you are taking others try and get some approx weights both of your pax ( passangers) & their luggage that they will be bringing then take your 4WD ( & for peice of mind and so you know what ever you might be towing) to a public weigh bridge & weigh it, assuming you are not already over, add in any other non presant weighs remembering that 1L of diesel weighs 0.832kg & work out what your total weight is likley be & compare thar to your vehicle's Allowable GVM. The GVM is The gross vehicle weight rating, or gross vehicle mass it is the maximum operating weight/mass of a vehicle as specified by the manufacturer including the vehicle's chassis, body, engine, engine fluids, fuel, accessories, driver, passengers & cargo but excluding that of any trailers. On avarage a trailer/camper adds approx 10% of its total weight to the vehicle's weight. (A) it is ilegal to drive an over weight vehicle of any type anywhere at any time in Aust. (B) If you have an accident & it is proven that being over weight caused or contributed to the accident you will void your insurance & could face police or other road authority legal charges. (C) You risk breaking your vehicle by asking it to do more than it was legally & mechanically built for. So If your trailer/camper weigh in @ 1000kg's ( 1 ton) then expect that to add approx 100kg's to the vehicles overall weight. Also you need to check the towing limitations if you are travelling interstate N$W have just recently passed legislation that any anything towed in that state MUST be legally registered you cannot just use the registration of the towing vehicle or similar & anything that is 751kg's or over MUST have brakes on at least 1 axle & so on the legislation goes as the weight increases, in N$W you are speed limited to max speed of 100km's p/h even in a 110km/ph zone if you are 4500.01 kg's & must also pass over N$W weigh bridges. We've had our company vehicles ( XLT RANGERS TOWING ) pulled into Broadford & weighed as well as in NSW including on portable scales that are towed around by the roads authorities. All our vehicles are weighed before they leave the office to head anywhere if they are loaded for any work or a particular trip especially interstate & especially N$W. Also another red hot tip if travelling into N$W you need to get upto speed on their new registration plate display legislation ( your vehicle can be pur off the road on the spot & considered unregistered if it does not meet N$W new strict registraion display legislation, then there is their new mobile phone placement and usage legislation in both cases it could end up being a very costly trip otherwise. I wonder how long it will be before we see check points back on the boarder crossing once again like we used to have many years ago. NSW is not called N$W for no reason. Better still just stay in Vic 😊 Rgs Wayne

For a IFS 4x4, left & right sway bar link, a cv joint and tie rod and tie rod end. All 3 can be damaged in a cv joint failure. Fan belts and radiator hoses.

Spot on mate, great advice. Everything you mentioned are very important for remote and outback touring.

Hey guys things to consider if you get a long range tank. With tough vic traks you may bash them unless they are above chassis totally

Hi Tim I'm considering heading down in March from Brissy on a solo trip to the high country. I've travelled to plenty of desert tracks and the GRR etc. Would you recommend it would be ok to hit the high country solo? My troopy is well kitted out, except for lockers. Cheers Gus

Hi Tim! Love your videos, What year is your patrol? Im looking to get one, but I'm hearing mixed opinions about the DI and CRD models. Just wanted to know which one you have. Thank you!

The Roof Rack limit for a Y61 Patrol is 100 kg according to the Owners Manual
