My father put a lot of those tracks in around 1960/64. I was a young kid then loved the real wilderness then . They did tracks over Mt Glorious,Mt Pleasant, Mt Mee, Mt Brisbane, Lacey's Creek. Loved it.

Pancake shaker 😂🤣 Tip: aerate the mix by shake the bottle first before filling with water. After filling it with water, tap the bottle upside down on the table first before shaking. This stops the mixture from sticking to the bottom. Looks like a great weekend you guys have. Gives me an idea what to do for my anniversary. 😁

Great episode, gives us an idea to drop our kids at my parents for the weekend and have a weekend away with out the kids. Good to hear the patrol may live on, it’s a valid point it’s age and remote travel etc. I plan to have my 2005 GU TD42 well into my retirement, we’ll have a new 4wd when we retire and keep our patrol for local trips etc. looking forward to the next episode 😊
@GoingOverland11 ай бұрын
Yeah the patrol has always been the dream 4x4, but doing 1000kms on corrugations will destroy it, so a second 4wd will be on the cards eventually. Great weekend without the kids, now they are a little less dependent on mum it's something we should do more of. Cheers for watching 🤠🍻

do a body off rebuild..... do a chassis rebuild ( diffs gu conversion if not already) check motor compression..... be prepared for a new donk...... but its all the accessories....the set up...... if the motor goes..... replace it..... saves a new vehicle purchase and then - setting up...... the last 4wd i bought is going to last me till i can no longer drive...... hopefully 30 odd years.... but i will repair all faults , not replace with a new car every 2 years .... your GQ is so good watching on the videos..... a well kept vehicle, not flogged with the " just send it " attitude of ppl that buy a new car every 3 or 4 years....

Hi Guys, I seriously just wanted to say “Thank You”. I do a lot of 4x4 traveling and touring and weekend trips with my mates. BUT, I would love to go for an overnighter or even a 2 with my wife. Bye-passing details, I have to say it wouldn’t be easy to do. BUT after watching your vid, DAM, I am going to have a go for it with my wife in a swag, at least have a go anyways. This comment is to say that thank you for your down to earth reality and not blowing smoke to where you know. (It seriously is appreciated). Stay good and again thanks for your inspiration.

Oh yeah it'll last another 30 years, but I don't want to keep doing those hugely corrugated roads with the patrol. we need a disposable 4wd we can replace every 10 years or so.
