4WD Rocky Track Toolangi Takes its Toll + Jakes New Car! | Livin 4x4

[@GregPalmer2]

Great to see you young felahs enjoying the tracks,we have been doing them since the 80s when we were young and still like going out there,some of us have passed on but we still try to manage to get out there with better equipped vehicles and have fun.

As the current owner of jakes old patrol I can confirm she loves a drink haha Needs a long range petrol tank. Might get 500ks out of both tanks then haha

[@maxwelln-t7930]

As and owner of one on 35s and lifted there's something wrong with that patrol then should be getting up around the 850 mark I get 450 or 500 out of 60L but in saying that iv done everything to it

Really enjoy watching your vids of Toolangi. I’ll be out there next month. That last track is Luke’s Creek Track. One of my favs. Keep up the good work guys.

[@kyro02]

did this track coming down tonight & glad i did, came out without anything broken and dont have any rock sliders, so had to be careful of the sills.

[@markoliver3370]

Went to Rocky Track today but wimped out on the rock step you all winched up. Went around that bit but did the rest and it was challenging but doable. Just does not look at all steep on the videos does it. Wasn’t game to really push it on the big step as up there on weight with Sam at 3.7 plus, GVM upgraded, so a lot on the back so didn’t want to risk breaking anything when could take a easier route. Enjoy your videos keep it up, im heading out to visit some of the places you traverse as even after nearly 20 years of 4WD still tons of tracks I haven’t driven.

[@victor-emmanuel7485]

Great content! Thanks for taking the effort making these vids 👍

[@xaviermac7660]

The last one is luke creek track, lovin the videos mate keep it up!

[@RumbleOverland]

Awesome. That first track looked super gnarly!

[@livin4x4]

It was!

[@einfelder8262]

Faark - look at the size of that front diff. Reminds me of the rear diff from my 1966 Corolla. That monster had around 30 something KW and even that broke the diff. Oh what a feeling.

[@maxwelln-t7930]

Love this channel honstally the best 4x4 channel about bit disappointed we won't be seeing the tb45 anymore (that's what got me into the channel need more patrols now)but looking foward to many more trips to come keep up the good work

Thanks mate😊 and yeah I know me too😔

Love how little this place has changed in 10 years since I last drove it. Great Video. Some old school footage of it in my latest video if you want to take a look.

Was dry last time I did it. Series 1 Disco v8, 32s with 2" spring lift, 1" body lift and rear locker. Just popped it in low 1st and walked up it.

Looking forward to your next video already 👍🏻

[@grahamwatts8836]

Rocky track Toolangi is very difficult very steep, loose rock, and wet I had a Jeep XJ with front and rear lockers plus only weighed 1.5 ton, it could climb very well.

[@TheWeedcontroller]

When winching don't spin your wheels, just use enough gas to help the winch. Spinning the wheels causes the weight of the vehicle to bounce on and off the cable which can cause it to snap with deadly effects!!!!! Or crosses up the cable on the drum, and risks shearing bearings ect.

[@spf4x4]

Toolangi is a good day out.

[@sethstevens477]

Great video mate

[@livin4x4]

Thanks mate😊

Is that auto locker any good to get was thinking of getting one for my GQ

[@shanevonharten3100]

As the owner of many a lux over the years i can tell you Jake your gunna need a good job to keep that girl moving if you plan to keep driving like that. The entire drivetrain from the radiator to rear diff plug are going to give you grief. But your going to have fun so hay, give her heaps.👍

[@superhacker101]

ive heard that if you floor it around corners that the lokka will lock? test it?

[@livin4x4]

This is true

[@thelifeofryan_aus]

How do the treps go on the black stuff in comparison to other muddies? I’m looking at getting a set for my troopy 🍻

[@livin4x4]

Ooft, troopy on treps, dream come true. Especially on yours! I think to take full advantage of them you need beadlocks. On the road they are decently loud which is to be expected 🤷‍♂️ we don't drive to far on them because they are the sticky compound, and these ones seem to be pretty well balanced somehow so he doesn't get the death wobble

[@thelifeofryan_aus]

@@livin4x4 cheers man, i dont expect them to be good on road, I'd rather not die on a long trip though, the occasional near death experience i could maybe compromise on haha..PS i need to do a promo shoot down around Bright and I may need assistance ;)

Hey mate I’m looking at installing a auto lockka in my gu how did u find the installation process. Did you need instructions?

[@livin4x4]

They provide pretty detailed instructions, wasn't to hard if you have a general knowledge of how things work and are willing to take your time you will be fine. Just make sure you follow each step carefully. But I'm definitely not a mechanic and managed to do it 🤷‍♂️

[@danthedingo2024]

[@matty3198]

how do you rate the auto lokka?

[@okigojuryu]

I have a couple questions, first off, is the trepador tire a competition version? And second, what are the rigs y'all are using? Sorry I'm an American.

[@livin4x4]

Yes they are 😊 You're all good! Green ute is a 2001 Toyota hilux, its got a 3 litre turbo diesel, white ute is an 80 series land cruiser with a 4.2 litre turbo diesel that has been cut from a wagon to a single cab ute, and my car is a 2000 Toyota land cruiser troop carrier which has a 4.2 litre na diesel

[@okigojuryu]

@@livin4x4 cool, another question, what's the difference between the comp trepador and the normal bias trepador? Is it just the tire compound? Yalls vids have made me want to try those treps out as a next tire, since they actually offer a 37 inch that fits a 16 inch wheel, I figured it would be a nice upgrade from my 35 inch BFG km3s, that reminds me, what size tires were y'all running? And thanks for responding.

[@livin4x4]

No worries😊 The competition is a soft compound, definitely the one you want unless you plan on doing a lot of driving on asphalt because it will wear through them pretty quick, they will also bag out heaps more The trepador on the 80 series are 35's, if you wanna check out some 37's in action there is some videos of a land rover on my channel that's running them, and in the latest 80 series meet video there is some that get a good thrashing

[@okigojuryu]

@@livin4x4 yea, I run quite a bit of road miles, and it also gets fairly cold here, so im prob gonna stick with the normal ones, thanks, and nice vid.

[@mattvandart9055]

How's that lokka perform? thinking of getting one myself

[@livin4x4]

Works good haha, the only thing is if you are driving on dirt roads in 4wd it will lock and unlock which takes a bit of getting used to

[@cruisinwithborgy]

How did you like the Lokka? I wanna get one too

[@livin4x4]

I quite like it, only thing is when driving on dirt roads in 4wd it will lock and unlock, takes a bit of gerting used to

[@TheRaptor1967]

Subbed as I also have a 75 Troopy and I like your vids. I like that fact your not trying to prove anything, your just out having fun with mates. :) @17, your mate in his Green Lux needed to drop his tire pressures and he would have walked that. Would have made a massive difference (IMHO). So when are you going to lock the rear diff on your Troopy? Rear diff will be LSD, but Toyota didn't put a decent LSD in the early LandCruisers - dont know about the later ones, but the 75 LSD was shit. 10K from new and they were completely warn out and effectively and open wheel diff. This also means you will need to get hold of an open wheel carrier to put the Lokka in, and its a different size to the front. From memory, rear is 10" diff and front is 9" or 9.5". Just go buy any old front or rear open wheel diff center form a 40, 50 or 60 series. They are all 10" open wheel diffs with 4.11:1 gears. It was the later 70's and on where they changed the front to a smaller diff (I'm pretty sure yours and definitely mine). PS. Keep in mind what I said last week on one of your vids, the hub studs may need to be upgraded. Just keep an eye on them for a while. Also exchanging the rear diff is sooooo much easier than the front! No jacking, not removing wheels, just hub studs, pull the axles out 6-8", drop the tail shaft and pull the diff.

[@jakeslawnmowing7733]

Should have dropped the lux to 8 psi haha

[@gonyg5316]

Awesome try but not enough wheel travel boys. But then again it’s only a Toyota. Go the Nissan’s.

[@mitchwilson-ross8602]

Gony G not enough wheel travel but the cruiser wasn’t lifting wheels🤔🤦‍♂️

[@gonyg5316]

Mitch Wilson-Ross Look carefully mate as the weight is shifted from left to right and to the rear of the vehicle. I’ve done this track plenty of times in the past with no winching. Also tyres. The Trepadors are awesome for mud but their firm carcass on the radial version doesn’t allow for enough flex in the sidewall or through the centre to mould around objects like rocks and allow continued traction. Hope that explains a little for you.

[@mitchwilson-ross8602]

Gony G Gony G mate I was there lol, the weight shifts due to the step on the back passenger side and the car weighing a tonne with super stiff rear springs making the front end shift around, nothing to do with wheel travel and nothing to do with being a Toyota🤣

[@gonyg5316]

Mitch Wilson-Ross Think about what your saying mate. 4 wheel driving is all about traction and traction is achieved through weight distribution and wheel travel. By the way wasn’t hating on you blokes by any means. We all love the same thing, getting out there and doing it. Was just offering up an opinion based on many years of being in the industry and trying a shit load of different tyres and suspension products. Anyways keep doing what you’re doing and having fun.
