Need more than a good 4x4 to do that, need nuts!!! well done dude!!!

[@nooki1102]

Need to be brain dead. It's a 10ft wall. Plenty of tracks around

[@bushjustice6649]

Fools and their money....easily parted.....locals own 4wd as a necessity....tourists save up,spend oodles put all sorts of trinkets on the 4wd,travel halfway across the country to trash in some sort of dick swingjng contest

[@t4thfavor1212]

Wish we had the ranger, with 4 doors, and a turbo-diesel... in the states ever... So miss those trucks.

[@wilsaunders7645]

Its a ute not a truck.....

[@Graham987654]

@@wilsaunders7645 they are called pickup trucks over here (North America)

[@mossyhornhunter7022]

Is that a diesel ranger ? We never got diesel rangers in America. I had a 93 and a 04 ranger and they were great off road trucks. I got 300,000 out of my last one on original drive train before I got rid of it.

[@willmcc05]

300k miles or kms?

[@barragu7189]

I would love to give this a go on my may 2015 cape trip but unfortunately judging by the video's and talk going around this one isn't "do-able". On one of 4wd actions recent dvd's Grahame was saying that its not passable unless you're in a comp truck these days. Mate of mine did the cape this year and he reckons its literally an 8-10 vert wall drop off. Kind of a sphincter tightening drop off , especially when you're thousands of kay from home. Seen a few vids of this over the years and it also shits me to see that amongst the great people that are happy to help others with negotiating correct lines or crossing creeks and rivers, attaching snatch straps etc, you still get the fucktards standing on the sidelines sporting a beer telling you to "you'll be right mate its fine get on in just to see you fuck up. Always walk your rivers and creeks and only tackle things you believe is safe for you and your vehicle and you'll be right.

[@bindiburr86]

Hi George, this video was taken in 2012, I could imagine that they would be a bit worse off now. But my suggestion is to make the decision when you get there, we had heard a lot of talk on our way up that we wouldn't be able to get down it, but we got there and knew we could get down there. Yes a lot of planning was done before hand with snatch straps & having another car down the bottom ready to go incase something went wrong. We also stayed behind to help the next bloke through. They also told us that we wouldn't get across Nolans Brooke (56 cars had already been flooded that season) but 1.5hr of walking the bottom and deciding the best path we got 7 cars through one after another

[@joelbroadbent2501]

I went 2018 may and it's terrible I don't think a comp truck could do it now.

[@paulschmidtke425]

CAREFUL!!, you'll scratch the creek

In 2006, I took an Army Unimog down there,,,,,

[@paulschmidtke425]

Did the Pajinka almost 30 years ago on a motorbike saw gunshot and the telegraph track ,, heaps of broken bit of plastic off 4wd everywhere

[@nooki1102]

silly,,lucky to get through that,,seen a lot of holidays turn to tears on that croosing and nolans brook

[@ColdWarWarriors]

Wouldn"t it be easier to find an alternate route around this obstacle?

Hope oil pump is at the front of the sump in those things.

We've been there before, watch out for Nolans.

[@chetvaldes]

Wish we had diesel Rangers here. Don't scratch the sides!

[@tonynewmynaga9649]

Don't they have another way?

[@everythingshere1967]

We're is this

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

Looks like someone has dammed up the side to stop as much water getting in at the bottom since I was there in 1990.

[@chrish5775]

Looks like my driveway;)

cheers mate!!!....dont drink the water?

What an insane !!! These guys play game to drive through rough terrain. Look at some mountainous country who really suffer the natural road terrain for their daily needs and drive through those dangerous terrain. Better let these guys drive over there in natural conditions than just a fake drive.

[@darthbj]

Interesting question mate. What I find even more interesting is that you apparently watched a video on Gunshot just to complain about people doing Gunshot. Isn't that somewhat counterproductive?

[@dailyanimeshorts7966]

[@grantoyamaha]

[@doca8792]

G’day mate.

[@WAKEUPNOWDAMMIT]

Id just love to see someone come flying off the edge with an 85 luxy and clear the whole thing! :)

[@sirlotapot2462]

Do it

[@philgray1023]

Remember the Mr Majestyk movie when they had this guy in an F100 leaping from rock to rock and doing jumps and stuff showing how tough the Fords were. I was told they used lots of F100s to film that. When we jumped our F100 once it broke the chassis. Pretty easy welding job to fix it. I told Steve not to brake hard on the drop, but would he listen? A luxy with raised suspension would do this easy.

[@dannywojkiewicz503]

Hopefully has as much luck getting out as he did getting in

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

@@benjaminprince6424 I have to admit when we did it with three cars I really questioned the sanity of it (especially being so far from repairs) but if you are a die hard 4WD driver, it is definitely one for your resume. Most sane people should avoid the heart ache it could bring. Even winching down there is a big muddy thump waiting for you at the bottom. Too easy to do damage. Do we regret doing it? No way, but then we were among the luck ones.
