DIFF EXPLODES & Terrifying Runaway Diesel... Did we save it? CARNAGE on NSW Toughest tracks

The Watagans! Arguably New South Wales’ toughest wheeling destination. 💪
On this trip we have an unlikely match up - Sooty & Clifford the Zook take on the tracks head to head with Jock at the wheel of the Sierra! 🫣
The question is - which rig makes it out on its own steam? Let’s find out! 👊

Shauno that has to be one of the best and fastest diesel runaway reactions I've ever seen. Handled like an absolute pro!

[@turbostyler]

I reckon that was the quickest reaction for that scenario I've ever seen. Good on ya Shauno.

[@davidackley4102]

I swear that 200 breaks something every time they do a trip with it. Oh what a feeling 😆

[@Kyle-mz6by]

A tactic by STEDI to make sure the lights always have to come out 😂

[@HardstylePete]

@@Kyle-mz6by I'm sure that IFS front end on 35s probably isn't helping. IFS cvs are built like glass.

[@Kyle-mz6by]

⁠@@HardstylePeteYeah I know mate, just making jokes 🙊 Surprised you can’t buy stronger aftermarket ones.. guess the 200 needs a more significant redesign to allow a beefier CV.

[@mattmilsted3822]

@@Kyle-mz6byit’s same old saying if beef up cvs u just create a weak point further down drive line eg snap case etc so for cost cv possible cost gear box or transfer case by breaking that yer pick keep snapping cvs it’s cheaper

Yep, and she was being sooo gentle with it too. Its basically a showpiece with those glass CV's

What memorable mint episode. 🍻 Zook doing Zook things. 200 doing 200 things. Sooty doing Sooty things. Jeep doing Jeep things. And the Landy😍 needing a front locker!.😂

[@jordanfields3402]

I own a 2021 Jeep Gladiator on 37s with a 4.5 inch lift. I wheel it in Nevada and the southwest. Seeing a gladiator on 4WD 24-7 in Australia is fantastic. I hope to see much more of the Jeep Gladiator and even the Wrangler in future videos.

[@intimatespearfisher]

If you want to see Australians wheeling jeeps on 37's. Check out Built4offroad and 'do it in the dirt'. Both from Queensland

[@DB-yj3qc]

Another USA Gladiator owner, that is enjoying that one has joined your tracks trip. With added bonus of adding female or two on with your videos. That definitely opens up more viewers, showing the ladies to join in.

this might be my favorite episode so far. the joy Jocko gets from zooming in the lil Zook is just epic hahaha i'd love to see the Zook lifted and on some 33's tho. would definitely look like a little windup car if you did 😂😂

As someone who goes out on the trails with built samurais, it's nice to see a stock one. It's all about picking the right line and skinny pedal!

[@JyWalker1603]

Most hyped I've been for a while about a 4wd 24/7 vid. I rate that gladiator as well, the thing looks sick

[@adamedgar5765]

Yeah I've got a 2022 Gladiator Rubicon...2" lift and 33's...im changing to 35" tyres next...the 33's aren't quite enough in the boggy mud holes. It's a sick 4wd though!the downside is my rim offsets are too wide for so,e of the ruts...I keep running tyres off the beads cause they (the beads) fill with mud

That shot at 36:20 when you see the tiny little Zuki in the convoy XD awesome episode! I would be SO PROUD OF MYSELF if I could diagnose and fix even 5% of the problems on-trail that you guys and gals can. It's so impressive also I've watched that moment at 55:43 like fifteen times now, lol AMAZING!

Epic trip.... Loved it..Especially the jeep :) they are addicting for sure!!! I Have an 08 JKU and a 2013 JK8. Greetings from Austria

[@FourLowAdventures]

Beautiful thing with the Jeep is that you can buy a Rubicon unlimited, lift it 2 inches and even with the stock tires it will go almost anywhere on some of the hardest tracks. The 2 door doesn't need anything at all, just a hand winch. Though if you want bigger tires it's easy to do, no cutting or anything. The petrol is very light compared to all of these diesel turbos as well. Had mine for one year now and I love it and am joining the jeep club now.

[@LachiesMTBProgress]

i wanna see more of those jeeps, and if that is what the night eagle can do, image a Rubicon with 35's. I've got a gladiator rubi on 35's but I haven't taken it on any hard tracks yet. i think Joko should buy a wrangler rubi and make a weapon from it

[@euromellows8]

This was a great episode - stunning views in NSW. I loved seeing the Jeep too. As a Gladiator owner and long time fan of your channel, I have been looking forward to seeing one feature. The Jeep handled everything well. I would love to see you put more on the show.

[@originalWillZ]

❤ so happy to have another upload like this, love it

[@shredfest30]

Looks like a stunning place to wheel... I will say though, I do miss the out take clips at the end of them... Maybe you can post a full colloage episode of all the good laughs when you have enough of them.. Also, big props to the camera work and all the editing team!

My (Trina) Brother lives on the river side of Exeter and we loved all the back roads around there. We spent 2022 Christmas in Tassie and for 3 months we explored the beautiful island. Funny thing is, every time we drove past Grindewald we said we had to go there but sadly we never did. Next time. Great vid and safe travels.

[@060racing8]

Sooty blocked exhaust pushed out turbo seals, causing oil to come through the turbo, resulting in Runaway

[@BenjaminSignor]

100% this!

[@Jacobtheunwise]

Yep seems obvious

[@tommyengineering8998]

they said airbox blockage?

[@veneratedmortal4369]

Plausible, the intake side probably has a blow off valve, but I'm not sure if the exhaust side does.

[@maxtorque2277]

^^this. Probably had about 3 bar of post turbo backpressure, and as the turbine oil seal is just a piston ring type seal, that back pressure bleeds into crankcase, where it may have damaged the non return valve in the crank case PRV......

[@michaelmacdonald7342]

Great adventure, I love my Gladiator Rubicon, I have had Fords, Toyotas, Nissans, and they were all great 4x4's, but I love my Gladiator the most yet. Some bad luck on that 200, the extra weight of those overland rigs has its drawbacks, good to see that it did not delay you too much.

[@ryanfp5657]

What's under the primer on the A pillars under the windscreen on the zook? They commonly crack and rust there but as Ive learned recently after fixing a few of them that they rust out at the foot of the A pillar, causing the flex that leads to that cracking under the windscreen corners and top door hinge. A prick of a job if it's bad but worth of pulling the front clip to see if it's the case.
