This is it guys. Sometimes you’ve just got to admit it when you’ve messed up and right here you’re going to see me mess it up big time and pay the ultimate price for complacency off road - a rollover!
It’d been a long day but I’ve had worse, so no excuse there. This is a nasty bit of track in Landcruiser Park, you will see that better in the next clip when the lads were having to hang on to Milo 2 to stay on their feet. The track had received heavy rain for the previous few days, but once again, I’ve done worse and we’d already done the hardest bits!
This should have been the quick under control drive/slide to the bottom and then a short drive back to camp but that’s not what happened.
There’s also a few other things you can’t see on the little bit of footage at the end here and you’ll see some of those over the next couple of clips as we pull off a single winch recovery from a very difficult spot and then take the truck back to camp and sort it out enough to go again. What’s that? Wait and see. I made a mistake. When that happens you wear it on the chin and get back on the horse that bucked you. I guess we’re just lucky we could…

I watched this roll over 3 times & it still upsetting as the first. Your honesty is very much appreciated. Hope Handbrake gets back out there. I rolled a rollux in Darwin over 10yrs ago. I'm still fearful of the dirt tracks. Big lesson learnt for sure. Take it easy, let tyres down!!! New neither at the time.

Keep up the hard yards mate and maybe one day i might see ya on a track. (Number 5 on bucket list sorry so low but other things like family were ranked higher. Lol)

Ho-lee-sheet!!! Strewth Roothy, you could've just told the handbrake you would rather she not come along with you on future trips!!! Seriously though mate; glad you are both okay...that's the only thing that really matters. The big green girl can/will be fixed. If it's any consolation, I had my first ever rollover (in fact my first ever vehicle accident in 46 years and around 3,000,000klm of driving) a couple of months ago. It put the wind up me but I had to get on the horse again the next day. Mine was in a Hiace + trailer, working as a country courier/mail contractor. Anyway mate...all the best and I'll look forward to watching the upcoming details.

Good to hear You and the Missus are OK. Can't wait to hear why you were crossing out of rutts on a down hill decent. Not having too much of a dig but that is a huge no no. On a brighter note it was cool to see you out at the local Indian restaurant a few weeks back. Didn't want to disturb you as you had guests.

Roothy on his roofy ! Happens so quickly, like any accident. Doesn't look like anyone was hurt but at the first of the video I was concerned because she had her left hand on the door, fingers outside. I thought the truck might roll on them. Ran stock cars for years and a buddy used to hold the roof in the corners, car flipped and he lost the ends of all four fingers. Hopefully only damage is roothys pride.

Ouch. I'd be inclined to call that maybe 60% driver error and 40% the tyre giving up grip at exactly the wrong point. The front wheel slipped into the gully and that, as they say, was that. I hope Milo 2 isn't too badly dented, and that the trouble-and-strife has forgiven you...

If the going looks like its getting tricky, engage rear diff-lock. 9/10 times it will help you get through. If in a real sticky situation engage front. Open diffs all round just encourage track erosion and make it more likely that you will break something (think lifted wheel spinning frantically then dropping back down to earth) POP there goes an axle or CV......

G'day George, the hand throttle just mean constant revs rather than twitchy throttle caused by bums etc. when off-road. The constant revs also means that there is less chance of losing traction.
