CHAOS IN COFFS - Roothy

[@tomnugara974]

Back when 4wd action was GOOD!

[@AndyL940]

This is great stuff John thanks for putting it up . So good to see reasonably affordable rigs and not be flogged to death with promotion. And no camper trailers..haha 👍👍👍👍

[@boxmat182ify]

No skull dragging a flaming camper trailer through the scrub! $30,000 waste of money, might as well attach an anchor to the back of the car.

[@anbu999]

If you look closely, the tray from the red truck is from a trailer

Now my Friday is made!

[@Splagnate]

Respect Mother Nature! Go explore! Have a look! Just take your rubbish with you!😁

[@dylanb1604]

Grew up in nana glen then Coffs, spent all my teens in that bush on dirt bikes and 4wds. Absolutely epic 👌🏾

[@JOHNROOTHROOTHY]

Heavy D lucky bugger. Great country 👍👍

[@phantomwalker8251]

that red v8,should be able to run 35",if it has at least 4.11 diffs. toyotas usually have 4.3 ?. when you let tires down,you obviously lose 3" of ground clearance. plus,leafs on top of diff have less curve,so more travel. IE,hilux. longer the leaf the better. but cant beat coils for ride. that prado,is for the city,too short,too low,no room. do not use traction control in sand or mud.

[@otekaieke111]

Just blimmin awesome John presenting these clips .., parts of coffs inland I've never known and have been there in the past as well as Port Macquarie close by .Nothing comes close to that here in NZ.Hope they get that rail line up and running a sure draw card.

[@JOHNROOTHROOTHY]

On ya mate - see you there one day!

[@carlmenzel8744]

That red is still my favorite colour for a jungle buster if I ever bought one that would be the colour if there was a choice that with a 5 speed and a 12ht

[@phantomwalker8251]

buy yourself an 80 series,or gu nissan. better than 1940 tech. 4.2tdi,not,a v8.

[@carlmenzel8744]

@@phantomwalker8251 I own a 05 1hdfte 79 for that reason but if I wanted a toy and that was the choice that would be a fun truck

[@tazyt3388]

Another ripper old episode mate for me it’s always been your narrative that’s the true hook for these films goodonya bro cheers

[@christophersaul]

Loved this. Nice to see some fairly stock vehicles having so much fun as well. We still get the Y61 here in the UAE (petrol of course!). Would love to take mine on a route like this.

[@dt-hi6bg]

Love these could you pls upload the other coffs one in big red when shauno was in the good ole 60

[@tristansundquist1834]

This gotta be easy mode. I died waaaaaay to much for you to just slide past them like nothing.

[@jenkodiesel5768]

Hi John, good stuff mate. What engine have you got in old red ?

[@meanrigs4x483]

Gotta love this old 4wd action 👌

[@warrenbell4507]

How old is this?

[@jasonthomas8770]

These old ones are so much better than the new 4wd action episodes. Thanks for sharing all of these Roothy! Loving every one you upload.

[@zoezoe610]

Keep them coming Roothy we like to see these and can't watch them any other way.

[@JOHNROOTHROOTHY]

Yep it’s great for me Too to revisit these brilliant old trips. 👍👍

[@4x4CampingandAdventures]

38:14 This is what peak form looks like.

[@mekobrescianini9657]

So sad that the red truck is sitting in a yard around Yandina area

[@007Knightjp]

Really love the sound of the red truck. Makes me wonder where it is now... and why doesn't Milo 2 have a V8... LOL

[@007Knightjp]

@x Oh OK.. I guess a lot happens behind the scenes.

[@paulwebb4046]

Great to see some back to the real deal 4wd stuff. As far as John's comments on the floods etc, all is true, the problem is the small minded percentage who do not do the right thing. They spoil it for the rest of us, they should be weeded out and called out for what they are and we know what they are.

[@bcme6068]

Better episodes back then, than....(well done Roothy)

[@phantomwalker8251]

problem with the prado,was the tires,low profile,plus,he got stopped. too much info.

[@TaniaShipman]

Nice to see this. My great grandfather worked on the railway line putting it in. I also travelled on the line as a baby, it would be nice if the railway could be restored.

[@samjohnson9894]

What happened @35:23? Was really interested in what you had to say there. Love the feel and flow of your offroad adventures. Great video as always.

[@georgedaniels3683]

Unbelievable track......I’m adding it to my bucket list!!!

[@MrFlop10]

Fking addddssss

Good old days

Beer and classic episode time!

[@jonnothetrucker]

YESSS im set now

[@gawainjones7182]

I knew patrol's were gona be good for something eventually

[@phantomwalker8251]

patrols are better,they still have a trans brake,& better wheel base..toyota have lost the plot,yrs ago..last decent toyota was the 80/100 series. then they went yupi..

[@gawainjones7182]

@@phantomwalker8251 Well I got a 60

[@user-tb5ns7hc5i]

Is there ever any concern about all those poisonous critters and crocs when wheeling there? In Canada all we have to worry about are bears and cougars, and they run away.

[@JOHNROOTHROOTHY]

Funny - we don't worry about our critters because we know their behaviour too, and nearly everything clears out with a bit of smoke off the fire at night. Bears tho??? Arrrgggghhhhhh.....

[@phantomwalker8251]

in cairns qld,theres plants that will kill you,more than snakes,spiders. you watch ''ave'',boltr. used to watch fred williams,dirt every day,till motor trend got it,. along with finnigan,matts recovery,& ultimate adventures.. most 4x4 shows here are for adds/products, & more of a reality show than real 4x4ing..they all promote there company more than any info you need.

[@JoeC88]

This stuff is beaut ! Cop U Later Quotes from Roofy's old mate, a man with a sharp mind in a blunt body.

Hey can you let my Handbrake know that? Then maybe duck....

[@triggerdose]

perfect use for a patrol, make a nice track for a landcruiser

[@gqwarrior6694]

Damn right. Cruiser isn't getting anywhere without a patrol to show the way 😉

Holy dooly.

Love it

[@postelmanshugues5133]

[@davidentz7440]

That's experience when you keep a calm head despite the car almost tipping over. Roothy just calmly backs it up out of trouble. Learning a lot from these videos. Thank you all.
