Hot tip! Never reverse while recovering someone. Your differential gears have very low contact in reverse and torque loads often break the crown wheel doing this. A common repair in the shop.

Superb! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun on the Telly Track and everyone came back in one piece! Albo did extremely well following in the tradition of Land Rovers being Australia’s original 4x4 from decades ago. I believe Land Rovers were the very first cars to complete the Telegraph Track many decades ago. 😊

Normally I only see the main track & features of the Tele track from the Aussie KZbinrs who I’ve been watching for years.. It was good to see the other side of the track that I normally don’t see, I recognise all the main parts of the track as soon as I see them but definitely really cool to see other parts that I didn’t know exist (being from the UK).. Super cool video, I really loved it an awesome adventure..

His human units are pretty dang cool too!😊 Amazing!

since the end the 90s I think there is now a track fairly normal (corrugated and boring) going to the cape. they call it the peninsula development road, it is slowly being paved. It is so important there are a few communities living up there so it changes their lives.

When you skipped Palm Creek, I knew exactly which ones you will be skipping and taking the chicken path lol But you made the right call or you would be back in the mechanic shop with thousands of dollars in bills. There was more than usual level of water in Palm Creek and I did Palm creek but definitely skipped Gunshot . The risk reward ( more like a momentary high) is too much). Saving your truck for the long haul is more important than making impulse decisions to cash the cheques your ego is writing at the moment. Good call 😀 You guys doing the Canning Stock or the Simpson Desert? Simpson should be doable for you.

@NextMeridianExpedition 2 ай бұрын
Hey ABraracourix, it s so hard to say no when you re just right in front. we really wanted to go every time. Soooo no canning stock, we feel the diversity of landscape we would get as a reward is a bit limited for the length of the track so we decided against. Simpson we wanted to go, still want to but our current schedule bring us there in December which is terrible heat I believe. so we ll see if things change and play it by ear :)

@@NextMeridianExpedition You made the right call and resisted the urge to just do it and suffer the consequences later 😀 I did Palm creek but I skipped Gunshot and Nolan’s Creek and for someone like you where the vehicle is your lifeline plus your home, it’s the rational decision. Ultimately, getting to the top is the goal not attempt every obstacle lol They won’t let you do Simpson after September/October until April. That’s the window you can attempt driving the Simpson between April and October. Canning Stock is a big undertaking and you need a group to convoy with plus carry a lot of fuel, water and food. Not something everyone attempts while visiting there. I think there was more than usual level of water in Palm Creek so you made the right call not to damage your electrical system. It’s doable at the right time and usually it’s a practice run for Gunshot Creek. Nolan’s creek poses a different situation and it’s quite deep. There are also Salties in the creek and you don’t want to get stuck and become the lowest on the food chain. Your video was enjoyable even without attempting the big obstacles and in the big picture, you made the right decision. What’s wrong with your diff look? You can’t engage it from the inside using the shifter? Check it out before it gets serious. I don’t know if you watch Grizzly and Bear and they went to Africa and problems started with their diff locks and they ended up replacing everything on the vehicle and Lee had to work a second job to pay for it. The joys of Landrover ownership lol not withstanding the occasional Toyota you winch out for bragging rights haha .

Hey Andrew, that s the cleaning part we did: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKDXc36Bn6Z9sK8 and then the video when we got it out of the port: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYu4ho13e9SNhqs . There are more details on our Patreon, or honnestly if you get yourself an agent as we did he/she will explain It all to you. For us in perth it was just: temporary driving permit, insurance, roadworthiness, registration at the department of transport. for the shipping the agent will brief you I think they know it all

For anyone that says you all are chickens all you all have to say is put your money up. Choosing that direction was better and beneficial all the way around you're not there to prove a mudding type thing you're trying to travel the world I get it people need to understand that you are have a lot of money tied into your home that is on wheels..❤❤
