TERRIFYING ENGINE BLOW UP & 3 Snapped Winch ropes - Our NEW Favourite 4WD Track

It is so nice to see smiles on everyone when the going is so rough. Technical issues, mud bogs, no sleep and everyone is just having a blast!

That tribute to the ol’ gal almost brought a tear to the eye. I’m a fairly new follower but have been diving deep into the older episodes and sooty never fails to impress. Can’t pick one that stands out, as they all do. Much love for old soot, can’t wait to see the adventures of Mark II soon though!

Favorite memory of Sooty. There are soooo many. It seems Sooty has always came to the rescue to help ALL OF THE GUYS OUT MORE THAN ANYTHING. But i also know everyone has also at 1 time or another helped Sooty and yourself out as well. I have a 97 Toyota 4Runner 4x4 Limited. 3400.v6. Here in the states. Love watching you guys.

[@jmac_519]

2002 Toyota Hilux KZN165r There are far too many wild and wonderful memories of old Soot, but one of the funniest would have to be the hill climb (either the Vic high country or NSW) where the second of the two lockers were exposed to Graham. He was absolutely shooketh and could not explain how Sooty, in a somewhat smug fashion, trotted her way up the steep and shaley climb. Priceless! Absolutely love this car.

Idk how i feel about this one. such an amazing episode. helps to that im local to the area, so cool to see my home spots. awesome to see everyone cheer sooty and shaun on when she started again.

Shauno! This episode is by far the best memory of Soot. The old girl has made other vehicles look, at times, inept. The short part in this episode where you walk through why shes retired, and seeing her still defy the odds to keep on keeping on is a testiment to the vehicle and how well she was treated.. Despite the hiding you gave her.. I have a 76 seties, which ive slowly been self modifying, and young (very new) family which i cant wait to get them out on the tracks camping with. Hope Soot MKII brings as much joy to yourself and viewers as MKI did.

I reckon the most memorable moment for me with Ol Soot would be her snow trip in Tas. Over all the bogs, climbs, wheel lifts, it’s Sootys Bar that takes the cake. Wheel on fellas can’t wait for Sooty 2.0. 🤙🏼 I drive a 2006 N70 Sr5 Toyota Hilux.

I've got a 1991 Nissan Safari and my favourite memory of Sooty is when I first saw her in your Coffs Harbour episode from 2018. Sooty is the reason I fell in love with 4wding and despite myself ending up with a Nissan, she (and all 80's) will always have a special place in my heart.

This episode would be my favourite of Sooty. The fact that she just keeps going despite being worked as hard as she does, she's fairly reliable. In this episode she lived up to what she was built for even though she's near the end. Old Sooty will live on in the new build. I can only hope my 200 series gets to go on some of tracks that Sooty has done.

[@mattgalvin3386]

Cracking episode fellas! and what a way to send off soot. My 4 year old son and I always watch on and we love seeing the adventures the boys take on. We live here on the Coffs Coast and for us, our favourite episode would have to be around a year ago when you ventured out to pebbly beach camp ground and cooked up the chilli mud dogs! Plenty of carnage in that episode including a snapped axle for sooty and nearly ending up vertically on its side…… the action and carnage was at course all offset by the stunning surrounds and camping spots on the Coffs Coast which we are lucky to frequent. We have a 2018 200 Series and the exhaust is the last piece of the puzzle for us! Thanks so much for taking us on many adventures and we look forward to seeing Sooty MKII taking on more tracks! Cheers!

After all the hard yards and, what seemed impossible, drives this beast conquered. I couldn't have imagined a better trip to send off Sooty in thick clouds of glory.

A coiled 79 done right has some serious flex. I wonder if he could put the springs on the top of axle cause that would get the hangers higher up and be just as capable in the ruts as coils as far as getting hung up.

The 80s series turbo diesel being my all time dream rig and being from the states it being almost impossible to own, watching shauno and soot over the years has almost given me the chance to wheel my dream rig via KZbin. Sooty will always be a legend and will definitely be missed

I own a 100 myself. And the most memorable Sooty moment for me is when I stumbled across your channel about 3 years ago and since land cruisers isn't exactly abundent im Norway I was intrigued. Here we had the 100, 200, some short 70-series from the 80's, but mostly pradoes. So Sooty for me the car that really peaked my land cruiser interest. I did not know about the 80-, 60, 55, or forty-series before. I was a lover of land cruisers before, but now, thanks to Sooty (and the dirty 30) I read and learn more about land cruisers and their history almoast weekly. And you also introdused me to Roothy's channel and Milo 1 and 2. Thank you.

It takes discipline and humility to make the right decision, even when you really just want to keep going. And the fact that you all keep a positive attitude and work as a team when things don't go smoothly is incredible. Even with everything Sooty has been through, she could still outrun any normal vehicle on a track like this. Good on you!

Great send off for sooty, particularly that she gave same grief on the first track! Hard to pick a favourite ep, although loved seeing her tear up pine creek to then transition to the calm cruise down kinkuna, looks at home with both.

Plus, would most likely push me in the right direction for at least a tune. Looking forward to seeing Mk2 in action!

Went to Tassie a few years ago and drove out to Motezuma Falls. Got to the ring road track junction and there is a sign saying once you head down the decent on the track you are committed as you can not return back up. With no winch and pissing down with rain I continued on to Montezuma. At this stage it was too much for the wife who left us and took the walking trail and then hitch hiked back to camp. My daughters and I drove out having only minor issues on the slippery rock descents and climbs past the waterfalls. It was amazing one of the most memorable 4WD experiences I have had. Low and behold 4WD 247 go to Tassie and do the Ring Road. But no the normal way is not for them and they do it in reverse and go up the unclimbable hill. If my memory serves me correct Sooty did it in the wet, no winching in 3WD. My only disappointment was that there was not enough light for you to do the track out to the waterfall so I didn't get to see how she compared to my rig on the waterfall descents and climbs out to Motezuma. I have an NT Pajero with 33's (well 22.5's but I'll call them 33's) and 2' lift. Rear locker and a winch bar with no winch so I have to be a bit conservative as I usually wheel on my own, especially when the wife gets out which is quite often. Can't wait to see the new rig!! 👍

[@laloolhouvum1634]

Love 80 on the rear (GME) most on this convoy of amazing rigs. The 200 series is one hell of a rig but maintenance and stuffs gonna super expensive. D-max on the other hand suits my conditions best especially with the Mitsalloy canopy but being only on 31s its too low. Atleast 33s would be ideal for my needs cause tracks I used to do need bigger tyres than 31s even full 32s aren't high enough. If jocko was on 33s he would have cleared most of the bog holes and winching won't be necessary. He hung up many times cause of his tiny wheels😞. Timbo on the other hand can do a spring swap from leafs to coils. The rear low spring hanger is the weak point on a deep ruts muddy or not for the 79 series.

That trip sooty was just power house beast. No soft sand was going to stop her. Even A cheeky mud crab got an unexpected joyride in the back of the 80. Sooty in that just ate up all those bogs holes along the track. Some of Shaun’s facial reactions might of hinted some trouble but without doubt Sooty just powered through the boggy stuff! Even the big hole @ 35min looked like the first beast stopper but Sooty said not today. It’s also one of the many Ep that showed Sooty as an old school 4WD can still conquer the challenges Cape York has, and really showed up the modern vehicle in the convoys. This episode is our biggest inspiration to tackle the Frenchmen, Pasco and Wenlock this year on our Cape York Trip. Absolutely love all the touring Sooty has done over the years even dating back to Rooty and Milo days and CAN NOT wait for sooty 2.0 to appear in future touring eps! Love your work lads! 2017 LANDCRUISER 200 series

Favourite memory of Sooty was when Shauno first put in the front diff lock but didn't tell the boys about it and then proceeded to walk up everything he pointed it at. Gooooooooo Sooty! 2018 79 series.

My favourite Sooty moment was watching her down in Tassie dragging Reubens dead 79 out of the tracks in the middle of the night while pissing with rain. She showed just how unbeatable the 80 with a 1hdt really is. I have the same vehicle as Sooty, a 1991 80 series with a 1 HD-T. Sooty is certainly an inspirational old girl, sad to see her go.

Good old Sooty will forever be top tier in my book. Never a bad day on the tracks with Soot along for the trip. Cant wait to see Sooty mk 2 hit some tracks and showing the guys what a real rig can do.

Sooty 🤩 My favourite memory is seeing her in the flesh at the Brisbane 4x4 Show and actually be able to touch and see all the memories (dints) from all the shows. As awesome as those torqit exhausts are on Toyotas, let’s see one of these great exhausts on something different!! Perhaps a short wheel base Defender hey ShaunO? 🤔 Love the show! Never stop

2016 ford ranger xlt, my fav memory is honestly seeing sooty just run on oil then turn full miracle to come through and finish this drive it was meant to be any other car would of blown the motor but she knew this was her last drive and had to get through no matter how tough it was enjoy retired life sooty 🤝🤝

[@bolas_dirtbike2066]

My dad drives a 79 series, the first year of a 79, My favorite memory of sooty is when sooty, dmax, and Roobin's 79 in Tasy, when sooty had to pull the big heavy 79 back through all the mud, Sick video!! That torquet exhaust is so sick

[@manuelnowel5707]

I drive a Isuzu Dmax 2006 model. My favourite memory of Sooty moment was the 4 car starts and only 2 car made it in tasmania tracks which Sooty has to snatch tow Reuben's heavy 79 series all the way out through the mud bogging tracks turning back. Sooty was a Hero and a Beast! RIP Sooty.

2020 Prado, Favorite memory has to be the reaction from graham when you first installed the front locker the look of confusion when you walked with no issues and he was contemplating everything he knew about wheeling

[@sarge151]

Hey Shauno, My Favourite memory of Sooty was when you had her dancing on the cliff edge in Tasmania definitely a nail biting episode, I have a Isuzu Dmax 2012 dual cab ECU Shop tuned beast and a Torqit exhaust would finish it off nicely. Sad to see Sooty MK 1 retired still remember the episode when you retired the original Dirty 30 both fantastic machines that always got the job done, as I said on FB "Not a show without Sooty" can't wait for MK 2 to start carving it's own journey Keep up the great viewing big fan of the show

[@Bush-Tv]

NOOOOOO! SOOTY! Another great video guy's Nice to see another 80 in the game and love the new paint on the 200 (MUD). For the comp I drive an 80 series and have a Growing KZbin Channel. Favourite memory of Sooty is Snow trips Rollover in the Glasshouse Mountains! Gu shot mate so many. And another was when you picked up the old girl at the start. Keep RRRRRROCKIN

[@willroberts5461]

This journey pushed ol' sooty to the max, so I reckon it takes the cake. The old girl just never gives up aye. I drive a 2008 79 series workmate cruiser

[@austinwilliams3303]

I drive a gq tb42 4inch with 35’s lockers love the ol girl and I’ve watched all the episodes and I love it. I love how sooty Leeds the convoy evertime use hit the tracks. And the ol girl kills every track. I’ll keep watching 4x4 action till you stop producing. My favourite show ever ☝🏽 keep it up boys

[@IamHerbie]

My favourite memory of Soot would be the Snow trip in the Vic high country. some of the most stunning footage you blokes have ever put out. I would love to take my 105 series landcruiser through there.

[@Eltombrae]

My favorite episode of sooty would either be the Victorian high country with camping in the snow for a classic episode, or this one as it was a perfect send off. Watching that montage at the end made me miss my old '91 80 series just that little bit more, not that I don't like my Amarok ute but there is definitely something special about the 80 series landcruiser that I can't describe.
