I missed out to @scott Rundell and it’s just thomas replying to you

It made the revs go smoother through the gears and helped a tiny amount with consumption. The 4.5 though is a real dud in auto and uses more petrol than the 4.8 auto with way less power. Reckon the best option would be to a have a manual for the 4.5 and 4.8 but even then the 4.5 is totally underpowered and heavy on the juice. The 4.5 is also likely to do the head gasket around 180k if you tow.

@@ERFPLAAS My 4.5 has recently done a head gasket somewhere after that 180k mark and it was used for towing? You psychic or is that a common thing? Haha

@@ERFPLAAS Mine is on 280kms now, goes ok but up hills it drops like 15kms. Both my tanks give me 650kms around town. When i brake and slow down then accelerate, it just doesn't go, unless i floor the accelerator, it won't go. I thought maybe it needs to breath better. Was thinking either i commit and keep it, then do extractors and exhaust and a tune or sell it and get a turbo deisel.

@@Turbo_Tractors is yours on gas?

@@rekless87 yes mate, use to be on gas and towed. Got the head skimmed, VRS kit and reassembling the motor today.

Hy het na die trip 'n chip laat insit vir meer krag, sal sien hoe dit gaan as ons Calcup later die jaar weer doen

..ek het self met daai Pajero probeer opkom maar die tjor het net nie genoeg oempf nie en die auto will nie afskop na 1ste toe nie. Daai selfde Pajero egter het vrek goed gedoen by Brunswick and Whitegum farm.

@@ERFPLAAS yes ek het die video gesien. Ek maak nou myne reg(Gen 2), maar parte is n probleem in SA. Die auto box is so bietjie geskroef. Ek sien julle is net in WA, enige planne om Cape York te gaan doen? Volgens wat ek hoor is dit n epic trip, as julle dit gaan doen kan jy via die Kimberly ook doen op pad. Dink net jy gaan n paar dae ry om daar uit te kom.

Ons het so 2 weke terug Karijini, Exmouth en Coral Bay gedoen. Nie 4wd material nie maar die trip was nog die beste so ver gewees. Ek het 4 episodes op youtube gesit. Is jy van WA?

@@ERFPLAAS Nee ek is in SA, bly net buite Sedgefield op 'n plaas. Het probeer om NZ toe te trek maar het nie uitgewerk nie. Moet se ek vrek oor Botswana, my ouboet bly daar en dis n jol daar. As al die pandemei k@k verby is gaan ek weer daar kuier. Wil graag kyk om Aus n bietjie te gaan besoek en daar gaan 4x4. Ek geniet jou videos, jy moet jou tjomme daar Afrikaans leer😁

Craig had it in 4 low, 3rd manual but it did not want to gear down to 2nd even when using the gear paddle, he checked the Paj forum and feedback is u should be in high range for Calcup

@@ERFPLAAS interestingly my paj feels soggy in 4H. I used 4LLc all the time for sand. Feels more direct and responsive. Did you notice how wide and shallow the entrance to Yeagarup is now? I think they dozed it out and made huge windrows on the sides. Great vid 👏

Yes, I also always use 4L in sand with an auto but we tried maybe 6-7 times and could not get up. The Paj just did not want to gear down to 2nd and only did so right before coming to a standstill otherwise it would have made it. The same Paj outperformed a few cars though at white gum farm and Brunswick so it is a real capable vehicle with the rear diff lock. I had a v6 Delica many moons ago and that thing went everywhere. The tyres pressures were also 12psi on the Paj and I would have gone down to 8 with those new ATs he had on. Reckon for sand though u can't beat a Petrol engine and my 4.8 GU motors through most. The entrance to Yeagarup seems to get shorter every year and yes, they did seem to have widen it. Awesome piece if country!

hello it felt very fun getting stuck

Its a dead tree, either take it down or it can kill you or your family when the wind blows it down

Yeh agreed. Even if you are chopping that for firewood, we are not really suppose to chop down any trees even it is dead. Take this as an advice, you may run into trouble if some environmentalists see this.

If u leave the evening and camp at the start of the track for a 9am start the next morning u should exit the track around 11am. We stopped each day around 3:30-4pm so you can still push to 5 or 6pm. 3 days are more than enough

All well marked with HT markers, so no worries. No need for a map or navi

No issues Rolly, we do the Holland track each year around June/July and after 5-6 times doing it we had 1 lux developing alternator issues, a few punctures and 1-2 times guys got stuck with a bit of water coming in. Also standard would be replacing rear brake drums if you use your park brake with muddy drums

Thanks Beaumont for your reply, of course I subscribed

@@ERFPLAAS The 80 would eat the park brake linings after that - Mine does :)

will definitely go back, maybe next trip Murchison 4wd Park

Its the rainy season so 50/50.Luckily only rained a few times in the evening. Problem with the rainy season is that all the plastic rubbish gets washed down into the ocean causing a real mess. Really filthy on some beaches. All else simply awesome? Reckon best time to visit would be May to Aug

Klaus Zungler yes, a bunch of South African mates on the Holland track in Western Australia

Lol...not if you are South African mate!

Ok i'll accept that :)

Pinaroo, Perth,Western Australia

Should be no problem with the Yeagarup dunes...50/50 up Calcup...if its wet no problem but hot and dry then reckon the sand would be too soft and you would need low range 3rd gear to get up...

HighTowerAU We were up there again 2 weeks ago. Search on - Holland Track WA July 15 - Best Ever!!Keep your wheels on 25 psi and avoid chicken tracks that go through the bush since its there where you get punctures. You do not need 6 wheels...1 spare would be ok...just stay away from new chicken tracks close to the trees and look out for roots on the track - easy to spot and avoid....you should be able to go through all bog-holes on 33" tires except maybe 1. Best fun ever is that mud oval we found close to Mt Holland. I think the area had about 50mil rain last week so you should have a great time. If you avoid all the bogholes you can almost do 90% of the track in 2wd...but what's the fun in that!
