Morning coffee before an edit, Love watching Tyler Thompson and the crew. Got to love Toolangi, I've rolled many tyres of the rim in there, A mate drove a 1991 80 series straight up Rocky Tk in the late 90's Unlocked with a 2" lift that was it. Then an old FJ smashed a diff on the run up.14:50 Classic!

Saw you trying to start the fire with a fire starter……simply scrape a bit of it off and that will ignite with the smallest of sparks….. Ciggy lighters won’t work in extreme cold……so you’ll have to use the spark stick….. Yes….I found this out the hard way too…..lol…

Brings back memories... Driving Toolangi, first time ever 4wd'ing in my GQ on 31's lol... Did end up on 35's, and just redlining my way around in the wet hahaha aeroplane track is a lot deeper these days... We managed to get a mates Vitara up there that was stock except for muddies, in the wet, after many attempts and many limiter bashes. Fairly sure I have an old account on here with the video of that happening too.

@aslkdfjhg 2 ай бұрын
It's actually kinda sad the state of Toolangi. It's erroded so much compared to what it was 20/30 years ago and really disappointing facilities compared to other places in Victoria. Hate to say it, they need to close some tracks, and let it regenerate before re-bulldozing it. The 35s are ruining it.
