Great video. It’s good to see that you take the tracks not used so much to explore more and see different parts to the park that most people wouldn’t even see. Keep up the great work. It’s good to see the parks let you 4wd in them and the awesome tracks that they offer. The great campsites and amazing scenery. Well done

@@GaryTischer Oh Bugga that’s very unlucky and it’s hard to tell but it’s been driven a bit and I would have taken it on thinking it was a harder track people don’t use as often but it has been driven a bit before so I’m right to head on it.

Hey great video of sundown. I grew up in this area and that was our play pen for 4wding. So the tracks do have names. The first big hill the one TJ winched is call 'The Shoot'. Where you camped the second night was at 'Rats Castle'. Then you climb the hill track called 'Pine tree track'. Then the gnarly crossing is called 'Rats Crossing'.

Epic video. Well done for going off the beaten track that's what it's all about. Had all your camps to yourselves and some tough tracks too. Epic! The way TJs canopy flexes and shakes when he is doing obstacles seems a little worrying tho lol hope it's meant to be like that.

As always, nice video capturing the best of the east coast Tyler. One suggestion, have you considered looking into transfer reductions on the patrol? I found they made as big a difference off-road as putting lockers on did, I had much better traction (forward momentum) and throttle control - the wheel didn't want to spin on each throttle input. I believe the Nav had good reductions ~ 44:1 but the patrol is only at 25:1 in 1st low. Just a thought if you haven't considered yet.

Yeah I did some questionnaires on social media a week or so back as I was deciding whether to do them or not and about 75-80% were in favour of them so that's why we did them. I think there was maybe a little too many and font and colour needs to be changed but majority seem to prefer and people who have hearing difficulties have said its much better for them. But yeah still trying to work it out and find the balance. Cheers!
