Yeah - we get a lot of that Neil. Anyone who has done enough 4 wheeling knows that even a slight change of line or the second/third vehicle through the same section can be completely different and there are an enormous number of variables to each section you traverse.

Can the owner of that awesome Disco 4 do a video on all the upgrades? I'd love to see details on those; it's great to see these luxury vehicles can still be upgraded to this standard.

Sounds like a plan - I'm ken to do a review of all of the vehicles and their set-ups. Stay Tuned

The reality is, that it looks much easier in a video as it is in real life in my opinion :D

RichieFromBoston It depends on whether you want to rove the land or you want to cruise the land 🤷‍♂️

boaz63 Ttied it in a few diff modes including Mud ruts and rock crawl. It's actually an ongoing issue I've been having with TC for some time. Looks like the transfer case is slipping and needs to be replaced.

Thanks for the kind words Craig. I think Toyota has dropped the ball in recent years in terms of their photography and video work. They set the bar so high for so long, I can't believe they have fallen so far.

Yep, same as Mr Apple morphed from a provider of high end video editing equipment into a 'Phone Salesman'. BTW, that Harris Fire Trail actually crosses Private Property at one point and NPWS insisted I get permission from the land owner prior to obtaining their Commercial 4WD License so don't be surprised if one day, you find locked gates up there! Not likely, given the remoteness but when Sydney people buy the property, anything could happen...

Probably Tuffant rims.

Yes Rich - Clancy had a splash on the low side inside the cabin

You do have to do some hunting around and lots more available in Europe and UK than in Oz for mods. Was mostly standard except for snorkel, front winch, underbody bash plate, dual battery set-up, offroad tow hitch, Llams height adjustment system and the mud tyres.

Hey Beny, We can actually make it a subscription service now we've hit the 10,000 subs mark on youtube but th agreement is pretty horrendous. I've been looking into a number of other platforms that will enable the same kind of service but they are either ridiculously expensive for the bandwidth we ned for HD or don't have a very user friendly library that enables users to go back and watch movies they have subscribed to at any time. Still working on it.

Misadventure 4WD woow nice tyres and wheels on that Discovery 4, what brand/model are they? I need them :)

+MrDefence78 It's something we are going to do this year for each of the cars that regularly travel with us mate. You can find a complete review of Monty the Defender on 4WD Action's website from a video they filmed in late 2013. We've recently purchased a replacement Monty (she was written off nan affording incident) and have almost finished on the various upgrades to have her ready for the video series ;)

+Misadventure 4WD Now i have something to look forward to, sounds great! Keep up the good work you guys do! One life, live it !!

Looks like transfer case was slipping screwing everything else up marc. In for a new transfer now.

Hi. And , if you use 'rock crawl' , same issue ? Hope you can save Black Betty guys. Cheers.

trac control still not performing properly in rock crawl mode marc. It was in rc mode in the section we had to winch up and you can see the TC clearly not working properly

Yep, but, normally the setting for RC is the centre diff is lock nope ?

So , maybe is wheels speed sensors ?

We are working on it. Just finished getting two kids through HSC years and have limited our big trips over the last few years but madly planning the next one

Misadventure 4WD it's also hard for us to get out because dad has to work a lot and we don't often get much time when we go for a weekend. And go the land rovers

The D4 has terrain response making the traction control better than the D2. D2 has solid axles though. I would say the D4 is better. They are also typically more reliable. If I'm choosing and everyday driver that I take off road, D4 any day of the week. With the 5L V8 they simply destroy the D2. However if I'm looking for a second vehicle to have fun in the trails, a D2 is the way to go, because I woun't mind it getting banged up, its easier to fit bigger tires, lift etc.

For over landing D3 or 4 is an obvious choice.. For getting down in the mud and such I want my D2.. so many mods readily available and in the US body parts are easy to come by at a reasonable cost

they are 17inch 265/70's from memory mate

The Sport had problems with the transfer case, and the traction control wasn't working properly.

+Moses Bagumira Bwengye The Disco is simply a better Off road option compared to the Rangie. The Rangie is a great vehicle but compromised for more hard core stuff. I consider the Rangie more a highly capable soft roader, the Disco more capable again and then all hail the mighty Defender which this environment is it natural one. The Disco and the Rangie have a brilliant electronic traction control system which is all good when its working, which it often does not which is a pity. Thats why I went old school Landcruiser which despite my love for Defenders is overall a better Vehicle.

+Michał Trejgis The D2 is running Maxis Big Horns, the D4 is running Cooper ST Maxx and the Defender was running BFG KM2's.

Thanks :)

Which are best ? :)

+Michał Trejgis Clancy - Cooper STT; Black Betty - BFG KM2 and Ghost - Maxxis 764 Bighorn

This is the beautiful Hunter Valley in NSW. This trail at Congewai borders the Watagan National Park/State Forest.

I'd say no but we are very biased ;)

+Musa Ragwar Spot on mate - traction control has been playing up for moths - intermittent fault that no-one seems to be able to solve

We had an issue with the traction control not working properly so was definitely issues with capabilities in those conditions.

@@Misadventure4WD Ahh so thats what the issue was! D3-4 and RRS practically the same off-road package couldn't figure why RRS didn't want to crawl it.
