[@cameronbarnettofficial]

today on "why not to offroad with a trailer" show

[@titaniumquarrion9838]

There are thousands of km of tracks across Australia you can tow off-road on. I wouldn't be towing up the kinds of technical terrain they do in these shows but they are pretty clear the intent is to test the toughness of the rig not to recommend it is something that should be done. The idea is to tow on the easy to medium access tracks then set up a base camp and venture onto t he hard and very hard ones. As far as "why not to....." one could also argue this is a "why not to climb large rocky steps" show as they more often than not break things.... Once again though if they enjoy it and can afford it go for it - I'd say the same about off-road towing. If you don't like it don't do it. If you do then go for it.

[@Simplefng]

If you want to some crazy trailer shit. Watch the All 4 Adventure Frenchmens Track with trailers.

[@vaughnsigal4560]

Yeah this one didn't cut the butter for me at all, also Shauno's voice overs seemed really forced and unnatural

[@ADirtyScrub]

As an American, I'm fascinated by how different Aussie 4x4 is. In America, we use mostly Jeep and some Toyota. It's really common to see 4-6.5" lifts, long arms, solid axles, and 35"+ tires on rigs way smaller than what you guys drive (I.e Jeep Wrangler). I can see the advantage of keeping a lower CoG but rollovers are typically due to inexperienced/ignorant drivers, and the taller lifts seem like they'd have more advantage than not. I'd love to see a video explaining your guys' rigs and choices for how you've built them. It's crazy to me to see this extreme off-roading in what is essentially a full size pick up that has IFS, a 2" lift and 32" tires. Clearly, we see the shortcomings of IFS with the broken steering component. Nathan's 200 looks like it has no lift but maybe bigger tires, but he's towing a freaking trailer through the whole thing! Rod's rig has solid axles but doesn't look like it has any articulation. It's a huge rig compared to what you'd see on trails like this in the US and it really shows how tight it gets. Shaun's rig is most common to what you'd see in the State's: Solid axles front and rear, lockers, winch, and 35" tires. It seems you guys don't bother to disconnect your sway bar end links before hitting the trail either. Any reason for that? It's almost standard practice when we air down to also disconnect the sway bar to give front solid axles as much articulation as possible, usually about 30% more than with the sway bar connected.

[@NotD1ma]

Michael Hagood I was thinking the same thing. Even my rigs bigger than their rigs. Got a 07 4Runner sport with a 5.5 inch lift on 36inch tires

[@tuttyfamily]

Australia has a lot laws against big lifts and big tyres etc i own what you call over there a nissan frontier (or nissan navara to us aussies) and the most i can do is a 2" suspension lift and a 2" bigger tyres which i think is a 31" tyre any thing more than that and you get pulled over by the police they impound your car or worse so its not worth it. whenever we go out 4wding we have to take heaps of spares because we break alot of parts

in aussie land you cant really modify your vehicles. so lifts bigger tires even stuff like a solid axle swap and lockers is not possible unfortunately. very strict laws. i live in canada and have a ram with a 6 inch lift if i drove that down the road there id be thrown in jail

[@ykcumop]

[@Dreamscythe1]

@@ykcumop your right a locker is not really forbidden some people do have them. its not a very common thing for some reason it seems though maybe where people just dont do lifts ect they dont really think about them.

[@Gizmo42Rodeo]

On the IFS trucks you really dont want a front locker. It's VERY hard on CVs. Everyone I've wheeled with that has broken a CV had a front locker. I stick with rear locker only and if that doesn't work I skip the obstacle or pull the winch.

Tie rods are an issue on the North American Duramax daddies. The Chev/GMC duramax market has sleeves for those tie rods to keep them from bending. Might they have something similar in AU for those baby dmax rigs? The sleeve replaces the jam nut and runs most of the length of the inner tie rod arm to make it thicker and beefer. Might be something to look around for :) Hello from British Columbia Canada, keep up the awesome series!

Wonder what a brand new right hand drive turbo v8 diesel 79 series would be worth to you? They sell for around $75,000 here in Aust. That's about US$58,000. Then add US import duties and shipping, you'd be up for US$100, 000 I reckon.
