I ended up picking up that sticker from the box ..thanks boys

THAT WAS QUICK!! 😅 Enjoy mate! 🍻

@@AussieArvos He probably had an Auto 4WD like me, which makes the whole trip a lot easier and quicker. Not sure how old some of your viewers are, but it took me a lot of years before I realised how good 21st century 4WD Autos are. Might be something worth pursuing in future videos = Man vs Auto 4WDing?

[@Splitface2811]

@@delawarecop Modern autos are way better in basically every off-road situation. Manual is much more of a challenge which makes it more fun in my eyes.

[@delawarecop]

@@Splitface2811 - Your idea of 'fun' might change as you get older? My idea of fun is to spend more quality time at the destination, rather than repeated attempts at trying to overcome difficult terrain on the way to the destination. IMO

[@Splitface2811]

@@delawarecop It could change. At the moment, to me the journey is as important as the destination. I don't have a 4WD just to get to nice places, its also because I enjoy driving off-road and I like a bit of a challenge.

Great content you have definitely found the mark in a crowded market .You guys are making my bucket list extremely long.

Thanks Brendan! Hopefully we can keep making it longer!! Cheers :)

Between these guys and sidetracked I'm set

[@kmfenno9012]

Agreed. Crowded market but a lot of the Aussie 4x4 channels I’ve seen so far aren’t really good watching. This one and maybe two other main ones I’ve come across so far are the only channels offering decent content. In my own opinion anyway. Thanks guys, I love watching your channel. Please keep the content coming!

[@hackgolfer7352]

One of the better 4WD channels. Under-rated for sure, no nonsense screaming and playing it up for the cameras and slamming bullshit sponsors down our throats. You deserve all the success, keep it going.

[@jakecarpenter11]

sponsors pay the bills. the bigger a channel gets the more sponsor offers they get so the more it will be in their content. bit of a silly thing to complain about really.

[@ericjohnson6802]

Agree..it's the normal evolution as any channel or product get more popular. Would anyone knock back free product and a bigger income??

[@mrmusicmanic]

What’s with your videos guys ? They just keep getting better and better. Followed u from the beginning cos of the 80 series and the production and everything is so good. One of the best on KZbin 👌

[@mattbehan218]

The views from your campsites were incredible!

[@returningtoearthtv8836]

Things I Loved about this Video: (1) Suspension shots showing how hard that system was working as you navigated the unending whoops (2) The meticulous care Liam took building the symmetrical inverted cone Firepit at that most incredible camp. (3) understanding that you guys were profoundly moved by the majesty of that camp (4) the Cooking segment - brilliant! Great storytelling once again. The editing and shots and the work you put-in to get them, shows. A parting thought: Why not just burn all of your organic waste in the firepit? Do you have to pack out the ashes or do you bury them in sand? Are you guys digging holes to poop in? Are you packing out your paper? Just curious. Your country is most beautiful!

Looked awesome out there! Hope to catch you guys next weekend in Sydney🤙

[@ajnovolt4075]

Great stuff guys , had a 80 series for 18 years and have done the canning stock route and other sand running trips which had the same issue with the dunes struggleing to make it up and over ,until I put it back in high range 3rd gear with 18 psi and she walked up every dune , give it a try it works !! 😀

[@thomashorat1523]

The track (Purra track) around the north west side of Lake Albacutya from Milmed rock track intersection is very cool. The vegetation and sand, in parts, is quite different from elsewhere in the park. Was there two weeks ago. The facilities at the start of Chinamens Well track (on Nhill-Murrayville rd) are fantastic. Not the view you enjoyed but top notch. Little Desert and Murray Sunset area also worth checking out too. Lotsa respect for the early pioneers who made a life in these places. And the indigenous people who lived there for 10's of thousands of years. Spend some $ in the towns up there. The Victoria Hotel in Dimboola is a great place for a meal.

[@AussieArvos]

[@patrolfreak1]

Great content again guys! Don’t be afraid to really let the pressures down in sand, 10 - 12 psi is still a pressure that can confidently be driven on without running tires off the beads and will make sand driving ( mainly dunes ) much more pleasure able !

[@donaldwills2135]

Yeah was gonna say this too but they weigh 3 tons and I don't know how there tyres bag out

[@AussieArvos]

Thanks mate!! Means alot! Yeah i reckon it would of helped alot! i was just a little worried about the weight of the car on the tyres as the tyres i run aren't a 3 ply sidewalls, so they bag out pretty well at higher PSI, but i think as you said we could of got away with a bit lower PSI, Cheers :)

[@stuartarneaud218]

Great video guys

[@bogged2theeyeballs695]

Great quality content. Haven't been there in years but watching this makes me want to go back again. Liam, judging by the way your vehicle starts in the morning, the injectors are possibly leaking fuel into the cylinders and due for a service.

[@kaivolstead6374]

My moneys on one (or some) of the glow plugs have died. That’s why it’s only happening on the first cold start of the day. Had a 1HZ that was doing the exact same thing until I changed the glow plugs.

[@ericjohnson6802]

I think it's timing. The pump is off and likewise the non electronic pumps don't have auto cold start timing adjustment. Compression is also most likely down and the fuel screw has probably been turned to max! Our TD42s are all the same..pigs to start on really cold days...just like an old tractor!

Just a little tip for bush gravy- whack it back on the coals and cook off the flour, only needs about five minutes, it’ll get rid of that weird taste and it’ll be piping hot to heat your food back up again!

[@putnamehereholdmadoodle]

I got the same recover points, nice and yellow.

[@garethgibbins8082]

I love the content too guys, just like everybody else here. I have been to some of these locations but couldnt drive across the lake as it was a little damp at the time. My basic old Prado loves a dune climb she has taught me a lot and forgives my noobishness.

[@garethgibbins8082]

I'd like to ask a question but feel free to delete it, I don't want to cause a fight... I was told/taught to put the sandflag on the right hand side (drivers side) of the car as in Australia we keep to the left. This means that if/when a car comes up from the other side of the dune they know that if they keep left of your flag they will miss your vehicle. Obviously this would require room but regardless it makes sense to me and if everybody is using momentum to climb a dune they might not have time to stop. What do others think? Do clubs encourage this line of thought?

little tip for thickening gravy, mix your flour with some butter or marg first (known as a beurre manie) making like a little dough ball with it then add it to your sauce it will thicken your sauce and add a little richness to it without leaving clumps of flour all through it. or use some cornflour mixed with water for something a little simpler.

[@ianweal3081]

Thanks Jake, I've never heard of the butter ball trick, handy to know. I usually use corn flour though, with the cold water, but also a drizzle of red wine for a truly flavoursome treat. Aside from that Liam, you also need to return the floured mixture back to the heat to allow the flour to absorb the liquid and thicken up under heat. Tastes so much better once you do that. Try it next time. Enjoy.
