This series is easily your best. Absolutely gripping... great work Ronny and Torbs!

Amazing trip Ronny.. as a photographer/camerman myself I'd just like to give a big "hats off" to the camera crew too who carried on filming through all the trials. Thank you for bringing us with you.!

Great teamwork and support for each other. Well done guys. Loved the series.

Torbs looked utterly defeated in that water before big red. Genuinely feeling for him there

wow Ronny what a very hard 3 days, torbs was very lucky on the first bogging when the vechile jumped up and crossed the ruts. i thought he was going to role over. great to see the amazing team work to help all out. well done

That is not a problem at all Ronny. You just need to think laterally. 3 left turns = 1 right turn. No problem! Happy to help

Crikey what a massive full on trip. It was pretty obvious you blokes were over it. That crossing was a real eye opener. Thanks for sharing

Wow, that looked grueling. Torbs was a real trooper - looks like a hard and expensive trip. Great content for me to watch in the comfort of my own home...

I love re-watching this series, especially the recovery process of Torben and how he battles to the end with an injured truck.

Great episode guys, what a drama. I think its worth having a look at some old Malcom Douglas shows. In particular Malcolm Douglas - Australia - One Wet Season (1984). Compared to modern vehicle setups, 4WD and camping techniques, Malcolm Douglas is far superior in every aspect. Vehicle is lighter, simpler to fix, less electronics to go wrong. Recovery in situations worse than yours was achievable with less. Malcolms ability to catch and cook meant it didn't matter how long he was in the bush he could feed himself and survive. I really think in this modern day and age we have lost the old skills which in my opinion are far superior. This all due to the heavy reliance on technology and at the heart of it consumerism.

I did this and similar trips in 1963 & 4 with an International 4 wheel drive 1 ton pickup, not nearly as well equipped or powerful as your vehicles and only with ONE vehicle. Our saving grace was front and rear winches with a large 'spade' type anchor which allowed us to pull ourselves out of the worst holes. Without that anchor even with 2 vehicles I think we would still be there -- well our bones might be--.Well done guys, brought back many memories.

Great stuff Ronny and Torbs. You really had a blast. I liked the uncertainties and tension. Most gripping experience ever.

Such a good series... We also experienced some of these conditions... No breakages fortunately... My wife and I were travelling the outback during the same time (Around the week of the Birdsville Races) , we experienced really wet / muddy from North of Cameron's Corner to Innamincka (only the Qld side of the border was open that day), then later on from Terowie SA (near Peterburough) through -via Lillydale Rd to the Silver City Hwy - Very wet , boggy tracks through station country... (The only way we could find along "public tracks" from Port Augusta to NSW without using the paved highways.) Coming back into NSW, EVERY dirt road in the state's west was closed - just like the Birdsville Track had been - when we were in Marree.

Most epic adventure yet. You could tell this story a million times and everyone would still be listening. Great sharing your adventure on your channel. You all are living your best life, but I also understand to do this requires personal/family sacrifices. Would love to catch up one day and flap gums over a few frothies or JDs. I love how your passion has turned into a career. Very envious, no jealous. Enjoy every moment good or bad. Life is way to short. Big hugs 😃

Nice series enjoyed it a lot. This was a real adventure. Having a spare cv agree with you in not taking one as a plan can be made to stay mobile. Great work guys and lets not forget the camera crew.

Hardship will either make, or break a man. Well done guys. Epic series. 👍

Might have a hard time convincing your friend to go four wheeling with you again Ronnie !

Hey Ronny, that’s a 4wd adventure for ya. Wish we could see how you guys got to the end but it’s good you guys made it and heading back. It becomes a wild adventure when things don’t goes as plan like a movie which I love about Australia off-road channels. Looking forward to the next adventures and how they play out. 👏🤙

True. Amazing trip. Like watching a thriller movie. Gripping stuff. Well done so far. You all must have balls of steel. Excellent video footage from the cameraman. This type of action with a great team. Thanks for sharing.

The perfect example of how 'NOT' to cross a wet clay pan. A good action packed video all the same. Momentum can be sustained without the wheel spinning, fish tailing, kangaroo hopping antics. But, ten out of ten for the effort. Final thought " He is definitely, positively not borrowing my 4wd " loved the videos... thanks. Stay safe.

I can't imagine the feeling of getting 2 cars stuck second night in a row, electrical fire in the one with only 2WD, less than 100k's fuel left...that was epic guys my hat is off to you.

Tough few days at the office Ronnie, you lucky to have Torbs as a mate what an awesome adventure.

Thats why its very important to not just prepare your vehicle when you do touring in remote area,you also need to prepare a lot of mental strength when things went south..thanks roni,love these adventure videos..its another level

Great series of videos Ronny, can't wait for the next instalment! Loving all your extended trip series, kimberley, pilbara, cross country and interstate, keep up the great work.

Can you please do a in depth video of torbens electrical fire why it happened and how to prevent that from happening.Thank you and great video.

What was one hell of a series, totally captivating.

This episode and the last 2 is by far the best the best yet bloody enjoyed them hope too see a part 4 unreal work guys loving the content cheers for sharing

what a awesome trip / mission guys .... lol at Torbs spars wheels come off omg ... luving it what a awesome view with the drone as well ....big thumbs up

Theres an old saying in aviation- Aviate, Navigate then Communicate. Should of concentrated and stayed off the two way going over that salt flat

Amazing vid! 👌 Thanx! Keeping moral in these kind of situations is key! It never helps starting to act defeatist only spreads bad mojo in your crew. Decide on a game plan and work together. Great job guys! 💪👋

I would love to see a follow up of things you learned and noticed driving through all that mud. I had a similar experience in Mozambique where it rained for 4days almost non stop, but the family didn't feel safe driving, so we stayed put till the trails got better

Lighter is better, simpler is better, slower is better. If you are going to go fast, go heavy, and go with more electrical gear, you better make sure you are low neurotic, or bring plenty of beta blockers.

I live on the edge of the Simpson Desert in a community called Santa Teresa. The last few months have been super unpredictable. We had three straight weeks of drizzle and rain with nothing at all on the radar or the weather forecast. We’ve had a few other random downpours which turned the ground to mush with no prediction on the BOM. Makes the Simmo way gnarlier if you can’t rely on the forecast. Well done getting out!!! Wow!

Awesome , epic adventure 🤙 You guys are TOPS 💯 Well done over the salts , hats off to TORBS 🏁GREETINGS FROM SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦 👏 👍

Great job on keeping your team together it can get very stressful why it all goes to poo well done you blokes👍🍻🍺

Awesome series Ronny. Great to see @Reconadventures Chris getting out on the road with the crew. Tell him to bring the FJ on the next trip!

What an expirience. I drive cv in peaces with me had similar problem a long time ago. Since than as many parts as posible. Cheers. 🍻

Epic episode guys I'm just glad you got to Birdsville I hope you had a well deserved beer 🍻 or two cheers legends ☺️

Wow what an adventure and a shit storm, just think in two years time the stories you will be reliving on the trip. It was good to be watching it.

That was wicked gents. Also very well done on being prepared. As we have seen, shit happens and you need to be prepared for it.

Fantastic episode, earnt the experience points in that trip, looking forward to the next episode

Let's go for wheel driving! It'll be fun! Ha ha man great video guys, not that I like to see people struggling but you really pushed through.

Great series Ronny, Torbs, and camera crew.

OMG what a trip , hat's off to everyone, maybe next time send the drone up to inspect the track first 😳 to get an advantage, hope all is well now, great vid guys 👍👍👍

How did someone with so much "experience" just go full send and break so much stuff. Did torbs forget his brain before that crossing?

Got the same issue last week , cv failure and the cvs bearing got in between the diff end head and the knuckle! Couldnt turn! Never saw this

Nothing worse than doing recoveries at night after driving all day. You don't know what exhaustion is until you've done this.

Definitely a rough trip, still beats a day at work. Nice to see a "less glamorous" video.

Been there done that, the mud is a killer even when it dries under the car. It sets like concrete. If it rains out there I run in the opposite direction. Exhaustion of man and machine.

Great meeting u & torbs yesterday at the Adelaide 4wd show.

Had the same issues back in 2016 got stuck at Innamincka for 3 days the fun of 4 wheeling

Coming up to big red there is a sign saying you must stick to one track only, the one that goes straight through. Both of you ignored that and strangely enough got bogged. The straight through track is deep but has a solid base.

More info on why spare wheels fell off please. Things like that should not be swept under the carpet. Marty from Perth

Obviously lots of trials and tribulations, but it did make for some great (very well filled and edited) content. Keen to hear what causes Torbs’ electrical issues.

It’s going to be hard traveling with this rain but you guys will make it see you at the show

@10:08 theres a perfect chicken track on the left, why oh why did ronnie drive through the middle? unless its for content, in that case good one

Plenty of great drama for vids to be found in the soggy desert. You guys looked shattered!

Love to see the final car washing video post all this. Stout effort for sure

Oh man torbs is in for it, we’ve all been situations like that where nothing seems to go your way, one after the other. Oh well, those always make for the best memories and funniest stories to tell your mates after all the frustrations have been dealt woth

Seems like the Prado is the most reliable of the lot...

Really excellent filming and editing !!

another awesome adventure. you guys did well to make those repairs and get out of there... will you do a review of the trailer? it seem to go ok.

I certainly would always have a CV doing what you guys do and both having the same vehicle. Share different parts each.

I was reluctant to drive across those salt pans when it was dry a few years back.

Really enjoying this series Ronny, the scenery is fantastic and adventure...well it's really challenged you all. BUT what broke that caused the wheels fall off the back of Torbs ute? Looking forward to the next ep!

I was out there last week. I did the Connie Sue hwy to Neale's Corner then the Anne Beadell to Coober Pedy. The track to Dalhousie Springs was just reopened. I did the French line to the Colson track crossroad and camped there. Next morning went to start the rig, only 10 volts in the battery! It had dropped a cell. A jumper pack is a must have and at this point decided to go the Colson track to the Madigan line and into Alice. Brought a new Battery. Supercheap had them on sale so that was a bonus. $180 compared to over $400 for the right battery for a Ford Ranger! The first part of the French line was flooded everywhere but passable. The Colson track runs between the Dunes so all hard packed sand the whole way. One good thing about all the rain was the Wildflowers were in full bloom everywhere. It was paradise out there and I never saw anyone for three days. Looking forward to doing the QAA next time to Birdsville. Fuel cost $3.10 a litre at the Pink Roadhouse. I brought 10 litres at a cost of $30) to support the new owners of the Roadhouse but didn't need any extra fuel as I can carry 210 litres. People were stranded at Dalhousie for three days before the road reopened according to a nice family I met at the Roadhouse. Me and the dog did the Fink Gorge river Run to the Lasseter hwy heading back home which was stunning. All up did 6000 klms in 12 days and man what a blast. Australia is great country but if fuel prices get much higher it will hurt any prospects for many to afford the travel. The lack of Wildlife out there was concerning. Only saw 6 Kangaroos, one Dingo and two Emus.

"I'm cactus" 💀💀💀 This is one sick adventure.

Serious offroad trip! The weight of these vehicles is really a disadvantage here.

Best series yet

Adventure, an unusual and exciting or daring experience. Your never going to forget this one.

That is what adventure is all about, go well for the rest of fhe trip.

Great instructional video on what NOT to do in every situation possible .

Are we there yet? Epic!

Wow. What an adventure!!

great episode Ronney cant wait for the next one

Did I miss the bit about how/why the spare wheels fell off or how you put them back on?

This i want! Adventure! Good luck gents!

Wow that’s crazy, I met you at the Sydney show, I never thought that u went through such a mission to get there😮

damn grueling trip, but man, what a show! Awesome!!

This episode had it all!

This adventure became too crazy mate!!

Hectic trip 😮there’s a thing it’s called a fuse it stops fires

Such an awesome video mate. Such awesome three videos. Absolutely loving this man. Amazing journey, mouth watering mate.

Tom cruise, the famous outback truckie once did a clutch in the middle of the desert, he made a new clutch out of a 44 gallon drum.

Really enjoyed the series!

Good add for Prado

Excellent !

Loving your videos man.from 🇰🇪

it is a swivel hub, the CV/axle is inside...

Great trip !

At the end of the day this is why we buy 4wdrives to get out there off the beaten track so if we get bugged it is what it is got to deal with it once you get through ,that beer at the end of the day is all worth it perfect

You’re really selling it Ronny 😂

I guess the CV was broken because the car is running tires above in size that factory spec.

Torb’s looked like he was about to loose it😉

An ugly win is still a win. Good fortune to Queensland on the recovery. My weather report over here 10-22 says MORE rain.

That's rough. Exasperation and exhaustion. Way to tough it out.

I’m just wondering why you didn’t take the long way around to start with?

In a serious situation I can't help but laugh at "he can't turn right...which is obviously a problem" haha put that on a shirt

constant velocity joint not sure how many are broken but It seems a lot go.

The trip didn't as expected but, did you enjoy it still Ronnie & Torbs? Made some good action at least.
