Hi mate congrats just wanted to ask if you happen to know if that track you did is still open?
@shaneodАй бұрын
I’ve heard mixed things about the whole area. There is still people out there most weekends with their trucks and dirt bikes. I’d say it’s still open but I’ve heard there are cameras up now monitoring and possibly fining people. So can’t be too sure in the exact situation sorry mate

Open but cameras everywhere and fines enforced. So technically closed unless you want to pay $110 for a few hours of wheeling

G'day! I had one in my Hilux prior to my Colorado and had no issues so I put a brand new one it. I don't use witches often as I try not to get stuck in the first place, however it's nice knowing that it's there and it works should the need arrive. I can't see the sense in spending huge money on something that one gets used once in a blue moon! Some people say that they are cheap and nasty but if you look after them, they'll last for ages.
@shaneod5 ай бұрын
That’s it mate, like anything, as long as it’s taken care of they will last a long time. I actually just put a new one in as my old one finally did breakdown but it lived a hard life and did the job when I needed it 👍🏻

This was really helpful mate. Believe it or not. I’m about to put some of the exact same rock sliders on my year 2000 Hilux dual cab not because I’m a serious four-wheel driver. I just want to protect my sills. Can I ask if they rub your leg as you’re getting into the car. I sort of wanted something that wasn’t gonna or that I wasn’t gonna have to climb over if that makes any sense . Put it this way. I took the original Toyota aluminium steps off because I absolutely hate steps on cars but I do like the idea of sliders for protection..😂😂😂
@shaneod7 ай бұрын
Glad the vid helped mate! They are still going strong too. I can’t say I rub my leg on them at all, I haven’t taken much notice though. Mate, those side steps are horrible, I’d be ripping em right off too 😂 All the best with em mate.

I did Killy a couple of weeks ago. I went with a group from Central Coast 4x4 Adventures. My Hilux was the only vehicle with IFS and it did me proud! I only needed to winch in one spot (where the rope snapped), other than that I did well. I put a brand new winch rope on before doing the run because I knew how tough it can be. I don't have diff locks so picking the right line is key to getting through. Great video yet again! Hit me up if you ever want to do a run with another Hilux!

Nice one mate! It’s definitely a fun good challenge, ur right about lines though, there was a couple of sections we drove around but coulda been interesting to try. What years ur Hilux?

G'day My Lux was an 02 model but I've since upgraded to a 2012 RG Colorado. I got offered a trade in price I couldn't refuse! The Lux was fun but I'm getting old and I just retired so I wanted something more modern and comfortable. I'm still setting the Colorado up as a capable cruiser so I haven't had it off road as yet. Keep your great videos coming!
