Hello from Louisiana. Now that's a vacation and beautiful land. Keep the videos coming.

[@shumla7ranch]

Greetings from Texas! Great video and narration!

[@Alex.G]

shumla7ranch greetings sir! Thank you very much :)

[@brettturner1623]

The crossing you did at the start is at one of my favourite camping spots ever! meet all kinds of people who drive through, through the night hunting pig or just cruising around exploring! Wonderful spot and only one of plenty awesome ones along this stretch of the river!!! try every time to catch off that log and never had any luck from about 5 trips to the same spot! also seen that crossing claim many, many rigs over the years.

[@Kelvin555s]

Great offroad camping video really liked it. Hope the smoke issue was not too bad something.

[@Ronny_Dahl]

Intents Offroad nice job on the video mate!

[@Alex.G]

Cheers Ronny Dahl :)

[@DieselFi5e]

I appreciate all the time you took getting out of your vics and setting up your camera just for the footage! Great video!

[@Alex.G]

DieselFi5e thanks buddy! Glad you enjoyed!

[@PineNutButter]

Excellent video, hello from the states.

[@Alex.G]

ScurvyPerformance thanks mate!

[@Alex.G]

Thanks Bradley Day Cast Iron Boys Camp Oven Cooking tgrkiller there will be more along in the next couple of weeks. As for the smoke tgrkiller I haven't opened the engine up at any point, but it's a pretty old motor now.

[@pakajnamaj9553]

you have the voice of someone narrating a 9,5/10 rated movie on imdb, i love it

[@Alex.G]

+Pakaj Namaj haha, maybe that's a career option I should look into!

[@gamerbabe9111]

Great video!!! I loved it .

[@Adrenalfix]

Great video, thankyou

[@asr9952]

Mate, absolutely brilliant. Thank you and please, make more videos on fixing or servicing the mighty GU. Cheers.

[@Alex.G]

Thanks a bunch Andrew Remin :) I have an up and coming video on doing a coolant change on the old beast so stay tuned and keep an eye out for that one!

[@andyg2707]

Great vid, reminded me of my time on expedition in Oz many years ago, such a beautiful country, wish I could go back and see it again.

[@Alex.G]

Andy G Thanks mate and glad you enjoyed your time in Australia!

[@scorpionrgp]

white smoke on a cold start normally fuel not being burnt, nothing to worry about, other than checking injector timing

[@EFAmex]

Amazing video man, keep up the good work. Your videos are way better than overland expedition. You got yourself a new subscriber.

[@Alex.G]

Thanks! EFAmex I've got a couple more going up in a few weeks time, so keep an eye out for them. I reckon they're gonna be awesome!

[@silk200611]

Good vid man.. Plz make more

[@dtmccurdy11]

Great job on the vids! Came across your stuff from proven overland and you've got some sweet work!

[@Alex.G]

+dtmccurdy11 thanks mate!

i live in perth, and would love to drive with you guys one day lol

[@roadtrain5910]

glow plug timer or burnt glow plugs my first gu ute after the rebuild kept on burning out glow plugs and mid morning startup all the white smoke for about 10 minutes and the shudders of the cold engine tony has/had a nice patrol i see alot of patrols with over the top mods rox bars rock crawler tires and blacked out head lights tail lights oh and black rims

[@BrandonLibby]

Great work! I'm fighting off a bit of illness today so I messed up anc accidentally watched all of your videos. They are very entertaining and well thought out. :) As for the smoke, typically black is fuel (running rich), grey/blue is oil, and white is water. It's most likely just condensation built up from when the exhaust cools. I wouldn't worry about it unless it does it all the time. Cheers!

[@Alex.G]

Brandon Libby Thanks for that man! Sucks that you're unwell though! Yeah the exhaust has been doing it for a while now, easiest way to pinpoint a problem like that is when it actually breaks :p Get better soon! :)

[@stephenpomeroy1214]

good vlog,s intents keep em coming

[@brandondevore5819]

just bought my first Jeep and I'm looking forward to getting into overlanding

[@Alex.G]

+Brandon Devore Good onya brandon, you'll have fun out there!

[@mimixownzall]

+Brandon Devore I like my old Jeeps, but, to me, a Jeep isn't a Jeep unless it's an old CJ and those just aren't big enough. If I were to do some overlanding, I would get a Toyota Land Cruiser.

[@D-yr3jk]

jeep is lame

[@dartanion0075]

mimixownzall patrol mate.If your serious.

[@mitchelljae88]

great video yet again mate. I'm glad to be the 200th like keep it up

[@Alex.G]

Mitchell Perks woohoo! 200 likes! thanks for the support mate!

[@damajinvegeta]

White smoke at start up could mean that the turbo seals are leaking when cold. That's if your turbo is cooled with oil and coolant.

[@gotenkssimon]

Good job mate. Loved the vid, and love the Dwellingup area! You've got yourself a new subscriber :) Keep up the great work. Ps- I like the music choice too, not overly loud either, can still hear everything the car is doing. Thumbs up.

[@Alex.G]

Simon Allingham thanks mate! I'm pretty sure Dwellingup is my favourite spot within a day's drive of Perth. Love getting down there in the winter when there's plenty of green and the river is roaring :)

[@jakeslawnmowing7733]

I watch a lot of 4wd channels and I gotta say your editing and narrating skills are very good idk if you did it yourself or hired a pro but either way the content was awesome and I really enjoyed watching definitely getting a like and sub can’t wait to see more thanks heaps

[@jakeslawnmowing7733]

Wait this was 5 years ago wow iv got a lot of catching up to do 😉

[@nomadexpeditionoverland1976]

NIce trip (subbed) good work on the ferro rod and paper bark ....

[@Alex.G]

Thanks Nomad Expedition Van ferro rod is my favourite way to start a fire, not always the easiest but way more manly haha.

[@TheCampOvenCook]

Good job on the video mate!

[@fordrac1ng81]

use the knife to shave off little flakes of the magnesium into a pile THEN try to start the fire. It'll start the first time, every time. Also white smoke is coolant. Most likely a head gasket

[@jakelocker6933]

Not really, white smoke is also unburn diesel

[@outbacknomad9939]

white smoke unburnt fuel ..blue smoke oil rings ..after warm up gray smoke over fueling by way of injectors an also exsorst valves open tappet settings can fix the valve open problem .hope this gives u some idea .

[@OffRoadOverlandCamping]

Great video, I'd love to come to Australia for some off road adventures.

[@Alex.G]

+Ron Channels it's great, I'd love to do some intercontinental off road adventures too!

[@tgrkiller]

Nice vid! and that white smoke.. sure everything in the engineblock is still sealed up? looks like oil burning up.

[@SC2Spectre]

Have you checked your glow plugs? That can cause white smoke and spitting if it's cold.

[@MrThaFishing]

good i like.

[@coutinhojon]

White smoke is likely a head gasket. Chuck some Molly in it, and go see a mech. It gets fucking expensive if you don't get it in time.

[@jacksonniblo701]

dude liked the vid i thought is was going to be one of the boring vids but dude that was awesome

[@Alex.G]

Thanks Jthat nib I appreciate that very much :)

[@NathanKingOverland]

I really like this one. Is it your first video on KZbin or did you remove some older ones?

[@Alex.G]

Yeah this is the OG first attempt 🙂

[@jeffhorton8737]

[@MaZEEZaM]

Great trip, really enjoyable to watch, looks like you have about as much luck fishing as I do :D Subbed.

[@Alex.G]

+MaZEEZaM Thanks for subscribing! Yeah the first time I was down there I landed 5 fish in 10 minutes, it was awesome! I should have filmed it and just used the same footage for every other video I go fishing in :p

[@MaZEEZaM]

lol :D as ive watched all your videos so far :'( I just watched someone else s trip and they used a small drone for footage in parts, really added to the scenery. Perhaps something to consider at a later date.

[@BrynWilliamsROM]

Love Dwellingup, found some nice quiet camp spots down there and it's only 65 min to the town from my place. Where did you say the bridge was in this video?

[@Alex.G]

Bryn Williams The bridge WAS in Upper Murray, it's the long gully bridge which burned down in the big fires in Janurary. Very sad, it was a beautiful bridge!

[@BrynWilliamsROM]

That is a shame, looks like a beautiful spot. Enjoy watching your vids, makes me want to get out there. Thanks mate.

[@BrynWilliamsROM]

Intents Offroad So the first part of the video, Tumbler Crossing? I can't find that on any maps, any help would be appreciated. Thanks mate.

[@Alex.G]

Bryn Williams Tumlo Crossing is the name, pretty close to the old bridge. Got a GPS, or Google Earth? Plug this coordinate into it mate: 33° 0'39.01"S,116°15'21.91"E that's the exact location of Tumlo Crossing.

[@BrynWilliamsROM]

Champion! Thanks for your help. I use wiki camps, really cool app that displays a lot of camping spots if you haven't heard of it. I'll chuck the coordinates in there.

[@mimixownzall]

As far as the motor, I had that problem on my petrol engine and it was leaky valve seals. When the motor is off the oil around the valves would leak into the cylinder and burn off at the start causing the white smoke. I have no idea how the internals of a diesel work, so not sure if that applies.

[@GunnerRA155]

White puffs in the exhaust?? Possible moisture in the fuel? Check the fuel filters, also look for any oil leaks around the engine block as it could be the start of a head gasket fail. Good Luck mate :)

[@australiansbackyard1527]

Hey guys, I've been camping around this area. But I'm struggling to find the river crossing, and the bridge in the video. Would you be kind enough to pin point the location. Would love to check them out.

[@idabagusputumahardika1057]

Hello I am a beginner have 80 series and I saw your video and I wonder if you could give me a recommendation place to do picnic around dwellingup on the river that is easy to find and to drive thank you so much

[@Alex.G]

Absolutely mate! Look up lane pool reserve. It's on Nanga road about 10 minutes out of dwellingup. You'll enter via the rangers hut where it costs about $10 to enter for the day, and they will give you a map of all the picnic areas and camping in there too 🙂

[@AutoSportChanel]

Greetings from Norway ! Really enjoyed the video and looking forward to more videos ! And ofcourse i subscribed :)

[@Pepperman86]

Heya guys, nice vids there, what is your exhaust system and engine setup? TD-6 right? Nice sound!

[@Alex.G]

+Paulo Pimenta The white one is 2.8 TD-6, 3 inch exhaust and one muffler. Gold one is 4.2 TD-6 with 3 inch exhaust, no mufflers i'm pretty sure!

[@Pepperman86]

+Intents Offroad Thanks for the fast answer, ive just bought a 2.8 TD-6 and i'm in love with it, LWB version as well. For now the engine is stock but i will do some tune ups, first one will be the exhaust just like yours :) Cheers and keep them vids coming.

[@kyvirgo4089]

Hi bro I live in the south west it's good down here isn't it

[@johnflannery2696]

Where did you get your flint from ,l have on but its crap your one seems to spark a lot more than mine.

[@mimixownzall]

Do you guys have anything like poison ivy or poison oak there in Australia? A plant that causes an allergic reaction that leaves welts and bumps and itches like mad?

[@Alex.G]

+mimixownzall Nope! we are pretty lucky in that regard! The plants here tend to favour being extremely prickly as a defense mechanism. So they bloody hurt, but no long lasting effects like poison ivy or oak has.

[@PirateErik2]

White smoke = steam. Water is being burned in the engine. Common issue with blown head gaskets and such.

[@Ztunr]

Steam haha... just no, it would be oil

[@S60-w8e]

Hey guys I live in Sydney, I just got my new Jeep Wrangler and I really wanna take off road but I don’t have any locations I could go too. Please if can just send me any good camping or off road locations

[@wolffepack1]

So jealous 😂 we never imported the diesel variations in the U.S.

[@johnflannery2696]

White smoke means oil in your turbo.

[@JordanLedbetter]

+John Flannery Oil in turbo would show as blue. White is usually coolant or completely unburnt diesel.

[@adamherbst5258]

+Jordan Ledbetter Blue smoke is oil leaking through the piston seals

[@louiskudlak2256]

I liked the video bro, good laughs, do some research on fishing 😂lol

[@jameshamiton3568]

if your turbo is water cooled as well as oil cooled u may have a bad seal in turbo

[@fuckingkidsthesedays]

if its happening when cold startup its likley leaky injector

[@outbacknomad9939]

PS the 2.8 Nissans were notorious for that

[@CH405.]

those are diesels correct? if so I'm definitely jealous. lol

[@Alex.G]

+chris cutting they certainly are mate!

[@steinwaygrande3971]

I`m no fisherman and find it oh so boring. Hate the mud as its a case of jacking the vehicle up, removing the wheels and using a Heavy Duty cleaner containing Sodium Hydroxide which "melts" the mud under the wheel arches and round the engine sump and gearbox etc, then hit it with the high pressure water blaster. Then the missus says that I have to clean the drive way, as its caked in red or black mud. Stay away from bog holes, as have been caught out to many times. Drowned my 4x4 in the Moore River following the convoy and took five goes with two vehicles to get me unglued from the clay . Insurance paid out for new starter motor, new carpets etc and got the vehicle back a week later.

[@Alex.G]

Steinwaygrande Hmmmm this Sodium Hydroxide sounds like the way to go! I used to hit mine with the pressure cleaner on the front lawn, then just hose the mud until it disappears into the grass :D Bog holes have caught me out on both of my last trips, I try and avoid them but it's the ones there's no way around that always get me! That Moore river sure can be deceiving hey?

[@rockrover85]

dodgy injector i think ps great vids
