Here's my tip. When using Max Tracks I attach them to the back of my vehicle with para cord, so as I drive out of the mud, I pull my tracks out behind me. That way I don't have to stop until I'm well clear of the obstacle. And I don't have to dig around trying to find them.

[@gasnxt6805]

Iv been watching heaps of the 40psi club at Fraser island and was thinking the same.

[@joshuarowley7289]

Cheers for the idea! I was just getting started on new rock sliders. Think I’m gonna put a couple rings on em to tie my tracks too!

[@hidinfrombiden1734]

That's a super useful tip for soft sand driving on beaches as well😎.

[@meeanmissions3921]

Loved the solar panel slide out on the Suzuki

[@MrDobiedoobie]

Would totally do this on my trailer, but worried that part of the panel will remain shaded at times and drastically drop output

[@firstchoicecp]

Wait for red dust or sand to get into those sliders

Hello Dean

[@stevenbest1550]

Good afternoon Team. I have recently retired from the Army and found your channel. I just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoy your films. I miss my old mates from the Army but seeing you lot muck around bring back tonnes of memories of mischief and skulduggery from the buggers in the Army that I have worked with over the years. Thanks for the laughs Grahame, and thanks for the cooking tips Shauno, you are a real fitter and turner mate. I look forward to your future endeavors and laughs. Kind regards, the Grumpy old Platoon Sergeant.

Hello Lynda

[@franko707]

Graham, I grew up on a cattle station just outside of Carnarvon, Brick House Station. The original race used to run through our property and we were heavily involved with the race, my mother in race command, our aircraft as the mobile repeater station, my father chief comms. officer along with Garry Larsen and I was in the timing office as a 9-12yro! I'm not sure how long you've been going, but I'm guessing you fell along with the bar in a show of increased confidence and exuberance one night after racing was complete? Maybe not rated to a mass quite as much as you were expecting haha. Many shenanigans have been had and will continue to be had. Hahaha, love everyone's work at 4WD 24/7.

Great show guys … this was exactly what I mentioned in one of my previous comments … Well done. A cool diy mod I saw on KZbin was 100mm pvc pipe used inside the canopy in a H style pattern. The guy put a tap at one end and a pressure valve at the other. He pumped 30psi of air into the pipe and had pressurised water on tap. Great idea.

[@wanderingwinters]

Really loved the slide out solar panel set up! Our fav DIY mod has been to grab a $2 curtain rod that runs across the top of our canopy to have shop rags and paper towels on.

[@4WD247]

Great idea!

[@blindaccuracy2881]

Favourite was the solar panel slide. Hope this becomes a series.

[@edwardmolloy7548]

Awesome episode but it also reminds me of when you could take Shorty out on trips. Yes the latest D-Max is flash but it's just not the same Graham.

[@danelivingstone3780]

Loved it!! Done a few mods on my 80 series. Made a draw for under drivers seat, twin swing out tail gate tables, fridge cage, cup and phone holders, adjustable solar panel on roof rack

[@darthvader8433]

Got the twin ARB compressor mounted inside the rear panel on the 200, the air outlet beside the fuel inlet, inside the flap is brilliant. Thanks Jocko.

[@alonzowitt5931]

Lol I spent the whole Summer during the lock down in the man cave modifying my Zuki sidekick. Lifted it, new suspension, 30 inch tires and rims, snorkel ECT. Then I went camping and fishing in the bush.i could not have been more isolated being in the bush with my family. The pandemic had little effect on my sanity, being in the bush does the mind and soul good!

[@surayagriffey1568]

The Bush is good for the mind and soul, both for you and your family when you are together. Children today mostly never get to know the bush as a positive thing, only something foreign to them, something scary or uncommon to them. People who watch this channel know for a Fact that the bush and being away from the 24-7 hectic city life is beneficial to health, both physically and mentally. Taking your kid's bush is probably one of the best things you can do for them at this point in time given the current dogma. Oh and Suzuki's can go anywhere with a competent operator even as stock standerd, a friend and I once got a Suzuki Sierra soft top up to 100 Km an hr up in the NT. And I have seen them climb some incredible inclines. Going Bush with your kids is one of the best things you can ever do for them.

I'd done the slide out solar panel on the roof rack of my Rangie back in 2002, but I made em easily removable so I could park in the shade and put the panels in the sun.

In NZ we put Vinyl or nylon carpets on mostly Hunting Vehicles Hood/Bonnet. When your cruising through the bush tracks your dogs can be up front and scent.

[@brockeighty]

Some unreal ideas for my hzj105 that I’m building at the moment, as I’ve spent heaps on rebuilding the engine, gearbox, diffs and suspension. I’ll have to do the camping set up on the cheap and these ideas will help me achieve that instead of relying on my mates set up every time we go 4wdriving. Absolutely rate the clothes line definitely the best idea that no one thinks about.

[@scottspropertyservices6877]

Surely graham has an old plastic film canister to put them in…keeps em air tight = no flames. But also keeps the water or beer off them. Have also seen the striking strip glued to the outside away from the match heads but kept inside facing outwards is equally safe.

That was a good episode showing off the diy mods we do to our fourbys. I've built a drawer system in the back of my fronty that combines diy with store bought. One side is a bcf drawer with fridge slide and slide out bench and the other is my own design drawer slide made from formply. I also have a party that holds my second fridge that I take out my rear seat and it fits kn neatly there.
