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

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

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. 👍

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.

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.

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.

Bought my 1st 4wd wagon a month ago . I have the gu3 nissan patrol 3.0 auto , recently acquired for 4wd fun - has no diffs, has no winch and has standard LT Bridgestone 31.5 inch tyres on it . But within a month I managed to get hold of a few camping gear and tred/maxtracs x4 of them and snatch strap. I have air compresser and staun deflators also. have bullbar + lights on bullbar + handheld 5ghz gme radio. I have done some basic 4wd but sitting down only to get some money collected to drive up to my desired locations to some locations 500 km radius to my home town of ipswich/brisbane. cheers~ kam.

Awesome video as always Graham and Shaun. Can’t wait to see y’all adventures on the Kimberley track. My dream adventure is to take a Jeep Gladiator built out with a MITS Alloy Canopy and a Patriot camper pulling behind that’s my dream vehicle and adventure.

I've been able to camp out of the back of my camry just to do weekend camping with partner here and there! 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.

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! ❤

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.

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

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 😀😎🤙

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. 🎉
