Oldest trick in the book for tricking the missus into agreeing to buy a new vehicle😆😆😆well done mate!

Wiring on the old 79 series is simple. They are made for river crossings. You got rid of the toughest car ever made for a ford ranger when all it needed was a full service and an auto electronics. You'll never find a ute like that again

Mate i feel your pain when you see that bloody four wheel drive kissing the drink. I would have lost my sh$t and walked home but you held it together and i praise you for your control. Well done in difficult circumstances. Bravo from Victoria Australia

Good to see you back. Great that you show us everything. The great times and when things don’t go quite right. Pleased all were safe . Look forward to more videos.

I have a friend who bumbles around like this when he goes oot-and-abot. Wonder he ever makes it back-

Hmm! I always leave my car in gear…..never rely on the handbrake. In the old gear I keep a wheel chock in the tray. Imaging if it was rolling whilst you were on ramps loading the quad onto the tray! I always take a moment and check what I’m doing. As I get older the risk need to be managed so I don’t hurt myself.

Bloody bad luck mate, You should always avoid doing recovery’s in reverse if avoidable, it’s the weakest gear in the box Looking forward to seeing your next adventures 👍

Glad to see you both again bad luck with the Toyota thanks for sharing 🦘👍

Silly old farts in caravan parks comes to mind 😎

I drowned my year old Everest early this year so can relate a little to your situation. We are currently travelling and went through Muttaburra area about a month ago. Amazing country. Always enjoy your videos and look forward to seeing your future travels.

Could of just slapped it in gear while engaging the handbrake and you'd be a whole lot richer

Awesome to see you both back on the Tube 👍👍👍 Think you have done a reverse in tow vehicles, most blow the Rangers up and replace with an F series 🤣🤣🤣but good to see you got out of that little pickle.👍 We had our own little mischief on our last little trip that was water related but ours was in our fuel 🤨🤨🤨, took the tilt tray ride of shame to the next biggest town to get us going till we got home 🤣🤣🤣 How full is the freezer now, sounds like bacon for ever 🤪🤪🤪 Look forward for the next episode, keep the awesomeness coming 👍👍👍 Cheer Andy

Thank you sharing your details video great watching sadly lost 4x4 ute as hope other work out OK for job and travelling

Glad to have you back. Bad luck with the Toyota. I have a ranger and it pulls my 21.5 foot caravan without a problem.

Always chock the wheels (on boat ramps, or on a slope ) never put all your trust in a hand brake. I enjoy your videos.

Too bad, that Cruiser looked like a clean unit.

Bit of bad luck there guys, glad you got home. 👍

Good to have you guys back...after a rather big gremlin! Is the ranger more economical than the Toyota? I expect the handbrake works on the Ranger :)

Damn unlucky but once again Toyotas famous "Non" handbrake comes to the fore...One thing that I am having trouble getting my head around is why a complete rewire require after simply going for a swim ???? They dont write the Tojos off that swim their way to the Cape....I smell a rat here.....

Mate ya cant park that there.

Even I know that you don't get rid of an old Toyota to replace it with a Ford 😅 !

Bit unlucky to be caught like that, but saying that l reckon Malcolm Douglas was caught the same way unfortunately he lost his life.

The white dodge ram in the video pulling the ute out of the water is that in Inverell nsw by any chance

Why wasn’t it left in gear?

Hiya Mate, just curious as to why you sold Brutas?

You need an aftermarket upgrade, just like a patrol handbrake

Hi Guys Sorry to see that accident handbrakes are shit in all Toyotas glad no one was hurt Thanks Cheers

Ah a good cleanin thats all. Put er in gear next time ey...

Hey Kev I think that your brakes might be wet

Yep, another one! I don't know why people buy em. So many crappy engineering faults from factory!

ohh noo!! 🏞️🛻😎🤙📹

Well it's not an auto should have been in reverse

Can't understand Toyota how long have they been making Landcruisers for fifty sixty years? They have never had a good handbrake on them and i doubt they ever will. Everybody else seems to be able to have a good handbrake why not Toyota? They seem to be alright on the wagons and the Hilux but they have never been any good on the tray back Cruiser and for the life of me i don't know why.

If you what you say Toyota hand brakes are the worst and you " know this" then why didng you " chock" the wheels? You wouldnt be in that position

That’s why you don’t buy a Toyota they suck no man in the old time drove a Toyota we all drove Holden and Ford

Their was plenty of stuff around Toyota could have copied to get a decent handbrake but they kept making the same shit year after year. OMG, 🙄
