Driving into the OCEAN on Rainbow Beach

[@4WDTV]

Thank you everyone for the constructive feedback on this episode. Obviously mistakes were made this time, all in pursuit of making good content for you guys, but as we know it is best to avoid salt water where you can. Fortunately, the next two episodes take us away from the coast (and the salt water) to Manar Off Road Park to cap off our never-boring adventure along the Sunshine Coast.

That's one water crossing to avoid...salt water never a good ending .. Car killer in the long run.

[@2dagzinaswag201]

Surprised you guys uploaded this if I'm honest... just wow

[@oldbloke204]

Yeah you would need to have a business to claim the costs of all the ongoing issues with saltwater in everything eh. Not sure why anyone would do this to their vehicle on purpose really.

[@4WDTV]

Really? You want us to pretend it didn't happen? Pretend people don't make mistakes? And pretend surprise deep saltwater crossings don't cause issues? We got caught out, we paid the price and we are happy for people to know how things can go wrong and what to watch out for.

[@oldbloke204]

@@4WDTV So first mistake not checking, second mistake someone driving it and then a heap more "mistakes" when everyone else did the same things? Damn.

@@4WDTV The first guy going through the deep salt water crossing can claim it as a mistake fair enough but the rest that followed and were even encouraged to go through really???? 🤦

I felt sorry for everyone else wrecking their vehicles for Simon

Not a fan of saltwater myself.

[@4WDTV]

yeah it's nasty alright.

[@N70Luxx]

lol you can literally see the snorkels copping a gut full of water each time. Camera man didn’t think to say hey maybe don’t go that way. All for content. Great video of what NOT to do.

[@4WDTV]

And did you watch the video and what happened next? We showed everyone what mistake we made and what we had to do because of it. Camera man was doing his job, filming 😁

[@ryanc.9068]

I remember my 1st time 4wding too lads 😂

[@danwhite9436]

Enjoyed the video. Nothing better than some Aussies enjoying the beach.

Why didn't you go the fresh water track ?

just wait for the next episode...

[@matthewjeffrey531]

This is why I always run k&n air filters, standard paper filters aren’t really supposed to get wet, a washable filter doesn’t matter they will dry out fine

[@4WDTV]

Great advice right there.

How about not drive your so called pride and joy straight into a salt water creek that’s well over your bonnet … Especially when there was another way around…

[@doggit5362]

What a load of crap that they’ve dealt with the hooning etc. We’re local and it’s the worst it’s ever been.

[@4WDTV]

Appreciate the update mate. We had a good run up the beach and only had to pull up one dickhead that was doing donuts. We gave him a good serve. The place was generally cleaner and campsites looked more orderly but given we were there on. weekday we understand it would be much worse on weekends. Hope they can sort it.

[@robstone4537]

First rule of double island point: don’t be the first fool to go, wait and watch for someone else to go first. 😎

[@toddnewman4530]

would be the first time you'd be glad to own a jeep, yay for no snorkel, nothing like salt to help prevent some rust, 6 month later theyll be statutory write offs and sent to New Zealand, still looks like amazing trip and location,

[@floridalawdog]

I feel guilty backing my tires into the salt water when i drop my boat. How do you keep the trucks from rusting out?

[@JoeHart6]

that was hard to watch 😬😬

[@laloolhouvum1634]

Drop down fridge are heavy and can be a pain in the ass. Upright fridge is more practical with the canopy system.

[@jeffstorer]

They make great transport for saltwater , called boats

[@brentmcd12]

now that's courageous!! 🌅🌊🏞️🛻📹🤙😎

[@shimmy1701]

This is what you don't do people, read the tide times turn around or wait, don't follow the stupidity theses people have shown . The beaches are narrow at the moment check the conditions and look after your gear.

[@pilot2sim924]

Those rangers need the air box seal round the top of the air box lid

[@joeoloughlin409]

Im so glad I dont live down that way too many people it would be hard to enjoy the bush

[@RepLicanT00100]

Out of curiosity, what are the rims/wheel specs on the Iveco daily ? Really like the look of that tyre/wheel combo and have not been able to find a rim that has “bead lock nuts” style that will suit my 16’ daily. Especially the Q (load) rating of a tyre equally as aggressive 🙃

[@4WDTV]

Did you want rim specs or brand? Fairly standard wheel but it does have 40mm offset which gives a nice look. The rims were ordered by EVA and we just used the last set, so no more are available sorry.

[@buckminsterfullerene2294]

I can’t believe you knowingly submerged your vehicles in salt water.

[@4WDTV]

Some had issues and some didn't. The main problem was overestimating the obstacle and causing too much bow wave. The vehicles that went in slower did much better.

[@summercloud7057]

@@4WDTV main issues is, not waiting for correct tides and not walking the hole... this hole is always there

[@shaynespencer86]

Can’t believe this was uploaded just wow

[@4WDTV]

Should we pretend we didn't screw up and hide it away? We are on a tight schedule, there's a heap of pressure and sometimes things go wrong. We showed what can happen and how sometimes it's better to find a safer route. We all make mistakes. but we will own it.

[@shaynespencer86]

@@4WDTV how about just being responsible and not promoting stupidity, all of that salt water was avoidable, nobody walked the track and yet the convoy continued after the truck almost sunk. Driving through salt water along the beach is just stupidity. The episode itself was great and most of yours are this is just one that’s pretty bloody stupid

[@andrewberg2361]

A lot of cars for sale in a few weeks if they don't rust out before hand .

[@summercloud7057]

Kharma of the EGO's ... always, drive double island on the correct tides and respect the land up there. (making good content isn't about showing off)

[@darianpolzin6304]

You turn your snorkel heads around face it backwards hello

[@4WDTV]

it is an interesting discussion. The experts say that it causes a negative change in airflow as well as stopping the snorkels designed water Chanels form working correctly.

Funny posting this showing so many with their businesses pasted onto the vehicles. Making a mistake is one thing, making numerous, disregarding learning from others and being willing to advertise your business during this appears to be idiotic. Still, the channel gets views...🙄
