How ANYONE can do their 4WD trip of a lifetime NOW - Cape York & Kimberley on the cheap!

[@white94rabbit]

Just bought my first 4WD this week for my 30th after saving for almost 7 years. A dream trip for me is a Cape York or Fraser Island trip, can't wait to get out there!!

[@swampypolitics9574]

Havenalready done some light wheeling with both. The XJ cherokee was my daily so I didn't wanna beat too hard on it. Now that I have the new one I can use it for light family wheeling and use the xj for bouncing off rocks and trees lol. The onky downside is the cherokee suffers from heat soak really bad in the summer

[@andrewlangford88]

Damn, you saved for 7 years? Why wouldn't you just buy a Forester for 500$ that will go further than any 100k 4wd will

[@Lee-astrololee]

Did a 6mnth solo trip with tent and standard old 4by last year, went to the supermarket only once a month to get fresh fruit/veg etc , rest of time relied on staples, flour, powdered milk, coffee, pasta, honey, eggs rice, dried veg, canned food, and frozen meat I froze in portions before going on trip! Advice, live simply, you don't need the Tim Tams or Choccies, makes pancakes instead! You can always get fresh bread and milk at a servo if you desire! The most important thing to do on a trip is make sure you check your vehicle each morning before taking off, it is just so important! Don't be afraid to camp off the beaten path, you hardly meet any weirdo's as you find out they are all doing the same as you!! LOL

Hey mate, for further inspiration my wife and I at 55 have been on the road for just on a year now. Work has been a constant and am living out of our 13ft van whilst staying in van parks and showgrounds. Whether working and travelling or just travelling there is so much to see. Left Sydney in 2004, lived in NQ for quite a bit and met my wife in Tas 7rs back. We've met plenty of people travelling on their own in all sorts of set ups. Safe travelling:)

We started watching 4wd-24/7 when my wife was in labour June 2023, we’ve watched the channel every night since, 2 months ago we took our Highlander out 4wd’ing, just because we couldn’t wait any longer, just last week we bought a dedicated off-road 4x4, and we can’t wait to get out and the tracks in Auckland, NZ. The baby also loves watching Graham steel the beers from the cooler! 😂

[@jamesmeredith1694]

I traveled Australia as a backpacker. Started in WA and drove all the way to port Douglas and did it in a Mitsubishi pajero. Super basic setup with a roof rack, awning, swag(which was awesome to sleep in), simple dual batter system to run a fridge,a good set of tires and the basic tools to get out in the bush.. compressor for airing up and cleaning the swag out. Most important is having a good attitude and trying not to rush, Take more breaks and enjoy.

Sadly my disability is stopping me. I was an avid off roader before becoming disabled/homebound. I live in Colorado with awesome trails just minutes away, but they are only views out my backdoor. I'm doing my best to beat an incurable nerve disorder, Full Body CRPS and Dercums Disease, with my team of Drs and my incredible wife. Hopefully one day I can handle the pain. Much love guys! I live through y'all's trips. ❤

[@tonygreen8221]

Great show guys. I love how you cover topics that are realistic and useful to everyday 4wders. In light of that person saying they’re concerned about damaging their vehicle again, could you please do a show on how to be gentle on your vehicle. EG: 1:easing off the throttle when coming down from a wheel lift, to avoid snapping CV’s. 2: Lifting the foot off the brake before hitting a washout, to allow the suspension to rise back up so it can soak up the bump. 3: Line selection. I was amazed when crossing the Simpson how many people were bouncing around in chopped out ruts, whereas it was a lot smoother just one tyre width either side. Also, a mention of cleaning up after ourselves and keeping the bush clean, on each episode would be great. Thanks guys. 👍

[@tomandhistruck]

I love camping solo! I used to rely on my friends to be my motivation to get out. I moved about 9 hours away from all of my friends. I realized, it was the trip that made the trip worth having. You drink less alcohol and have more money for fuel. This means you get to enjoy it more and remember the little things better.

[@jaccovanvoorst3031]

Just did a trip to the Pyrenees in Spain with my good mate. We both have an old subaru forester and we had a blast. Only things we really needed where skidplates and good tyres. Throw in a swag, a simple awning and a 12v fridge. Just get out there and don't just throw money at your car to make it flash but make it practical!

[@ben2687]

U.S.A. here. Great video, great advice. My dream trip would be a proper Alaska off road driving adventure. I live in SC currently, but have taken a vacation to AK before. I would like to have a vehicle that is capable of handling AK, but it requires a serious rig. I have a F250 Super Duty I use for my business, but I may build it up in a couple years to be able to handle AK. 37-38in tires, twin lockers, winch, snorkel, and all the common protection. One piece of advice for a trip like you're talking about...... Bring a survival kit. Cover the basics..... magnesium bar, good camp knife, tarp, space blanket, something for water filtration/purification, and a whistle. When I do my off road trips I bring a "vehicle survival kit" and a personal survival kit. I basically treat my trips as if I were backpacking, but taking a vehicle. Anything I can bring beyond the backpacking level is honestly a bonus for luxury. The backpacking gear is all the must have gear.

10 years ago my (now) wife and I did a trip from Perth to Darwin and the Kimberley and the Dampier Peninsula are on our TOP list quite high. now we'd love to show it to our kids, although it is quite some distance from Germany to get there...

[@davewain363]

Ripper episode guys. I started my adventures in a RN105 dual cab Hilux 2.4L petrol/gas. It had a small lift on split rims & flimsy bull bar. I added lights (a must in my book), UHF, 2nd hand roof rack, on board air and on board hot water. Put a 7x5 lifted trailer (also on split rims) with a canopy, tent and 3 way fridge and that saw the family of 2+2 hit the high country every month, Beachport to Robe, Stocktons and Nelson Bay, the Nullabor, Kilbarri and so much more. And took 2 ponies to pony club and gymkhanas every month. On to our 4th caravan now and diesel power but I think I remember camping from the '89 Hilux the most fondly.

Went out on a limb in march. From Victoria dreamt of doing the Kimberley. Stopped in Karratha at the moment working. Done a good nullabour Esperance trip. Stopped and worked. Then done then part of the west coast and karigini. Just me and the dog. Best decision I’ve ever made!

Serpentine belts are usually folded in their packaging the same way they fit over and around the pulleys and tensioner. Open the packaging and hold it up in the air in front of the engine and as you rotate the belt it will soon become apparent which way it goes on. It also has arrows on it showing the direction of rotation.

[@chrisdrake4692]

Kimberly Coast! I remember from 45 years ago visiting as a kid, and the amazement of the caves full of bats, the completely untouched environment, the rock art we found, the sketchiness of following the directions we got from locals, and the wonderment of the remoteness!

My father-in-law thought me a neat trick with a tiny cooler that holds about 3 beers with ice, take 1 out and put 1 in keeping the cooler stocked in circulation. I take an 18 or 24 pack when I go camping and this trick saves a heap of room for food storage in a fridge also at home. Try it! It’s a nice little hack.

Just do it! Came over to NSW from nz in Jan and bought a high ks prado 120 and a cheap regular caravan and drove to WA, did 11,000km over the high country, big desert, gold fields, Oodnadatta track, various other tracks, don't need an off-road caravan to go bush. The one big spare part I took was a new starter motor because automatic, most other things are an inconvenience not a show stopper, the day after we arrived at our destination in WA the spigot bearing fell out of the starter motor and I had to put the new one in. Eventually I plan to take the same caravan through the Kimberly, after putting a new axle under it with slightly bigger all terrain tyres, 185r14s don't handle the rocks so well.

[@kodepop]

I come from a long distance backpacking background, so when I go out I just use my backpacking gear in my truck. For me, bringing a ton of gear kind of takes the ruggedness out of camping. Of course there are essentials, but being slightly uncomfortable for a week or two is part of the experience. My dream trip is the Rubicon, and my truck is definitely not ready for that yet haha

[@overlandready]

For the Defender for a lap of Oz, I'd literally have 2 wheel bearing sets, 4 UJ's for the prop, gaffa and electrical tape for anything from loose bits to hose repairs, a tube of sealant (Loctite SI5980 as will do pretty much all seals and hoses, core plugs etc... a full set of fluids and some epoxy resin, Alternator and starter, Serpentine belt, 2 sets of filters and a few fuses and relays, you honestly don't need much.

@@CKcruisers no worries mate. It doesn't take much to get out there either, I first started camping out of the boot of my 1980 Commodore.

I'll be doing a MASSIVE shakedown trip to Lithgow once I've finished my 2 year SWB Pajero Chop build, which I should be done to reveal at outdoor 4x4 Sydney show in Sept (that's my goal), then I will be doing a major trip to Vic High Country over Xmas 🤙💪

My wife and I are currently saving and planning for our big trip, London to Cape Town down the west coast, 2 years in total including the rest of Africa. We have the vehicle, almost fully modded for what we need, we go in 2 years time, currently saving every penny we can for it.

My partner and I just put in our resignations to do a trip around Australia! First heading up to Fraser and then going to the cape and going around from there. Few hassles to get it all sorted (gvm upgrade needed) But once the resignations are in we are committed. Cannot wait!

Might not ever afford a 4wd again but my 30yo corolla surprises me as to what she can tackle. Would love to cross the country off-road once I set her up! East to West via coast roads, or VIC to the Cape via the desert.

Hi just wanted to share my cheap mod. I was looking at installing a long range fuel tank and it was alot of money weight for how many times a year i was going to use it. So i was going to make one to go in the back of the ute, but again alot of work for the use. Idea come to me, use a boat 40L or 60L fuel tank. They are cheap and I can take it out when I'm not using it. Cheap, easy to use with the fuel fitting quick connections. Very happy with the set up. And the best thing, i can use it in the boat too.

[@smokehuntersbbqteam3510]

We left it all behind to trip around this country fulltime and this is our dream trip. At the end of the day tomorrow is not guaranteed....

As a kiwi in NZ we have bugger all long 4wd tracks, my dream is to ship my beloved l400 delica over to aussie and do a tour, 2 absolute musts for the trip: 1. Gunshot creek (of course) 2. Fraser island. One day I will do it!

Hi from Europe guys! Also inspired by you I've bought a 2001 Mitsubishi Montero (Pajero) with a rooftent and placed some camping stuff in the back and will leave for a two month travel to Cape North (utmost top of Europe (Norway)). No off-path driving but plenty of dirt road to ne found. Thanks for being an inspiration! ❤

So true about meeting the same people , we did a trip to western Qld in the TD42TI and caravan, we saw the same people over and over again,

[@tobymiller6288]

Just finished setting up my ute for the dream trip. The missus and I are are about to set off on a five week trip from Perth, up to Exmouth, then across the Gibb to Kununurra to catch up with mates, then back down to home.

Currently on one of our dream trips to cape york! Watching this vid in the Punsand Bay campground

Kimberley is definitely on mine. I am definitely one of those people who come up with lots of excuses as to why I can go on a trip. I have excuses saying I can't go to the Kimberley, but those same excuses currently aren't stopping me from being on a month long trip in Tasmania. The only reason I'm on it is because my old man booked it and I then made everything work around those bookings.

[@NDJunction]

from start to finish based on beer, laptop placement, the aussie advice, the fact that its winter and NO ONE is cold, the14 day food choice with no worries + vegemite, the aussie dirty jokes, all rounded out by "so where do you wanna travel and why" is the most aussie bs ive seen in a while and i loved ALL of it xD

[@Aidan_wesley]

The gib river road again 💙 I did the gib few years ago after watching 4wd/247 you boys helped me get my dream ! Thank you

[@barbsteer849]

Heading off from Bunbury WA to Cape York in September this year. Cant bloody wait

[@Jacklaurie]

Coming from Scotland, it took a long time to get used to the size of Australia, but, we have done a lap and been to the tip and had a ball. I watched an episode that you guys did to Teewah Beach, that is currently top of my list 😀😎🤙

[@rebeccamackenzie9273]

We are doing the half lap, trying to do it similar to off the grid, coming from WA and even the Oodnadatta Track... doing it with friends, so excited. 🎉
