Chopped 80 series recovery at Cape York

Thanks Peter for the video, this 80 series rolled forwards at Cape York

[@meanderingmarnochs]

That was a brilliant piece of driving to get in that predicament 😂hopefully he's learnt his lesson

[@deanmacka4975]

You would think the owner would take advantage of this , and put some rust guard on the underbelly of the thing 😮😅😅

[@m.b.82]

😂

[@FlattardiansSuck]

Grease gun out at a minimum. Also, check the roof lining for coins and lost roaches... 😊

[@meanderingmarnochs]

😜

[@MrBamaga]

😂

[@BaberJacks]

Stuck inside ey.

[@dirk140]

What a recovery.... Just too many standing in close proximity! All went well, but I would like to know the tension figures on that cable before the 80series tipped back on its wheels... IOW while it was still on its roof and max tension on that winch cable/ synthetic rope. And then no open bonnet and our driver sitting in the line of fire in the cab... Oh boy I get them shivers!

[@retabera]

Yep. Super dangerous. Stand the f back

[@earlwright9715]

That looked like synthetic line, if it was it just drops straight the ground if it snaps. Dunno

[@logik1677]

I don’t think you’d wanna know dirky 😂😢

[@davetupling2678]

At what point did the driver exit the 80, it looked very tight, yeh always amazed at bystanders lack of care, re dangerous situations,

[@WaitWhat99]

I really don’t understand the point of risking your $$$$ vehicle for 10seconds of adrenaline 🤔 and it wasnt an obstacle you HAD to go through… go on a roller coaster, its cheaper.

[@MysteriousMarsupial]

Gotta love the sideline commentary 😆

[@FunCreativeConstructions]

nec minit.... for sale, never been offroad.... well looked after 40k.

[@FlattardiansSuck]

... many various modifications ...😅

[@petermeah]

It’s amazing that this doesn’t happen more often.

[@iancarter1917]

Like to see the vehicle out and what damage. Did it run afterwards?

[@effkay3691]

That’s a SL of weight on the rear of that car. Canopy, tent, tyre. No wonder it went over

[@virangaabeywickrema3901]

I agree, definitely shows the problems of getting your weights wrong, and having a high centre of gravity

[@effkay3691]

@@Simo-m1h Are you annoyed by people stating a few facts? Or is that you have a similar set up that annoys you. Do you know the weight of that roof top tent plus the roof racks alone? Prickly people when you comment on their rigs!

[@robertwilson1827]

Yes, top heavy, plus breaking at the bottom too long, instead of accelerating to drive along down the ramp??

[@effkay3691]

Four wheel driving is not about a full ARB kit and some air lockers. It’s about physics and not being a dck head. You are absolutely correct. Back heavy, no understanding of physics and ruined his family’s holiday therefore qualifies as a DH!

[@batmanlives6456]

I could see this happening soon ! Heaps have been so close to going over….

[@DirtySlapper99]

Sent her a little to hard their bud 🤣

[@frankguernier2280]

I cringed more about the lack of safety during recovery. People standing everywhere in the line of fire if a cable had have snapped etc.

[@brin57]

Yeah, there was potential death at every angle !!

[@mattluszczak8095]

Lucky you didnt drawn.. imagine the water was higher and you couldnt open your doors

[@ProximitymotorsportAus]

You won't catch me upside down there. I'll take the sissy track 🤣

[@freedomtowander]

I'll buff out it's just a scratch!😂 good recovery though!

[@edithdriver2094]

That’s what 4wd looks like down under, literally 🥳

[@MadMax-cw3pn]

I did the Gunshot in 1989 in a FJ45. It's legendary. Between that and crossing the Jardine River (saved a few bucks not using the Ferry) the trip up to the Cape is one of the best trips you can do in Australia. No Gazetted roads to the Tip back then all hard core 4x4 all the way👍

[@susandownes338]

It's very different now.....

[@gazzafloss]

​@@susandownes338yep, and I think they'll be putting in Tesla fast charging stations along the track soon 😂. That's, of course if they don't shut the OTT off altogether.

[@MadMax-cw3pn]

@@susandownes338 The Gunshot is 30 feet back from where it used to be. Worn down by many a nut doing the obligatory chute👍.

[@wildmushroom4807]

Way ,way harder now . I reached the Jardine in a 1966 Holden in ‘79 ! It was hard work digging sand , but we made it.

[@gazzafloss]

@@wildmushroom4807 yeh mate, I lived in Cooktown for 18 years, did ten OTL trips in my old Landrover. The local guys, (indigenous), have been doing car trips up and down a lot of it for many years in old Holdens and Ford Falcons etc. I'm full of admiration for their skill in achieving where they go in vehicles that are not four wheelers. Us boys get up there in our super "pimped out" four wheelers and can still get into trouble with ease.

[@Rec_hunt_fish]

have seen a very close call on gunshot,, landrover's backend came a long way off the ground before it slowly fell back, personally I wouldnt do it without someone behind connected to a snatch strap to stop that,, anyway great work on the recovery , hope you got it going aafter that

[@reececollins2757]

I’m sure you’ll find this is the gunshot?

[@GB-cm6yy]

Looks like Palm Creek. @@reececollins2757

[@stevenwylie2060]

Have a go ya mug,at least your out there doing it,not like us 95/ dreamers sitting on our lounges 👍🇭🇲

[@dirk140]

Ya well as someone commented elsewhere, he did not háve to go through that obstacle. Done my fair bit of 4X4 in Southern Africa, but its never worth it to take chances like this.... Unless its your "thing" with a roll cage and the money to play! IOW the true sporting side of 4X4ing....

[@samjeffery1956]

love the commentary from all the sideline cowboys

[@effkay3691]

Not as bad as the cowboy who ruined his holiday. Just because some idiot chooses to do something stupid doesn’t mean the rest of us don’t have the right to comment from the sidelines

[@izzybluffin820]

​@effkay3691 all your stories are boring, and no one cares that you don't have any bruises.

[@mrshinybald2739]

My years of rigging is telling me the couple in their swimmers dont care about losing limbs

[@1RednBlue]

Did he try and turn the engine over when he got in? Not sure was I’m seeing at the end?

[@gibbethoskins8621]

That spare on the roof saved that rig... and also part of the reason it went over.

[@robertwilson1827]

Yes, top heavy, plus breaking at the bottom to long, instead of accelerating to drive along down the ramp??

[@gibbethoskins8621]

@@robertwilson1827 Yep. But I've seen vehicles break at the bottom there many times, it was the weight up top that did it. All up the RTT, Awning and spare tire would be around 150kg

[@peva3722]

What an epic bush recovery ! In the first minute of the vid I was expecting to see a crane lifting it out.

[@roaddog7542]

I want to see the dash cam footage. 😮

[@sn0m]

Must be the gunshot creek

[@Flipppee]

its palm creek hahaha crazy aye (from what ive heard)

[@beeragonewhere2819]

I guess the 4wd shows were wrong when they said dont put your tyre up top. It saved his roof from being caved in and the car didnt get writen off.

[@dougwhite2897]

It looks like the owner of that truck should have followed the sign on the back and drove around the big hole in the ground. 😂

[@MrBilltong]

What winch was used in the recovery?

[@HighTowerAU]

thats taking ass sunning to a new level

[@adamdennis7016]

Oh what a feeling

[@johnwayne8475]

WOW this is the first time I've seen a 4WD tip over from the front, essentially a summersult. This has only shown the aftermath, until now, didn't think it was possible.

[@FlattardiansSuck]

Bad entry, too gung ho

Brakes are of little use once you're on near to vertical drops like "The Shotgun", it's a helluva ride...
