In this episode, we had a few mechanical things to take care of in Cairns, so we pulled up by Lake Tinaroo for a few days. We explored some of the walks around the area, as well as a few waterfalls, Gallo Dairy Land, Curtain Fig, Hypipamee Crater, Lake Eacham, and the everything else the Atherton Tablelands had to offer.

Great video, guys, I'm glad I'm not the only one who had starter motor problems with the FJ up at the cape. The same thing happened to me also did a rear axle seal on my FJ all fixed now and I'm glad you guys kept going. Thanks for video

Thanks for taking the time to drop a message about your experience! The crew we were with were all changing either starter motors or alternators. Axle seal would’ve sucked. Sounds like it’s all sorted now though!

The starter seems be a bit of a problem once you fill it with mud and water. Looks like one epic adventure though! Jealous as!

Yeah... Didn't like us very much. At least it was a pretty straight forward fix with that one.

Hi guys, enjoying your travels revisiting for me some of my fave trips in the FJ. Also had starter motor issues after a deep plunge in Cape Melville NP. Did you guys consider any preventative steps ie breather extensions or sealing the starter? Have heard various others suggest this.

Thanks for following along! Nah, we didn't have any preventative steps for the starter. We had extended breathers on the diffs and transmission though. I've heard mixed reports from people putting breathers on their starters and still having water issues. We never had any dramas with water on the rest of the trip with a new starter, so hoping its just because it was a bit old!
