Great story (stories), thank you. Good story-tellers tend to be a thing of the past. Unfortunately.

Having had one of each of the diesel variants since the 2H it just struck me that once you were out of the city and off the main highways, none of those vehicles,I felt were underpowered.

[8:33] Nice story as usual. But getting out of the salt lake deserved more elaboration on the methods used? Hi-Lift jack shifting, digging. deflating, vertical winching..etc thanks

I did research into combustion a few years back. Turbulence increases burn efficiency at the point of ignition. My research was in solid biofuels but I would think an engine would follow the same physics. Smoothing the cylinders doesn’t make sense. The engineered shape would affect flow volume but you don’t want laminar flow.

Wonderful story, as usual. Thank you. A totally tangential question… If you don’t mind sharing, what attracted you to make the move to Australia?

Andrew, great story! have you considered China as a potential adventure location, there is a no-man's land about the size of NSW between qinghai tibet and xinjiang, it's filled with glacier, deserts, and steppes averaging 4500m in altitude. best thing it's filled with tracks from mine prospecting lol😇

Why do I have the feeling that I have already watched this exact video before? Does this video exist somewhere else? This is absolutely no complain, I just try to be sure about myself :)

I worked in a diesel repair shop with an old school pump room. We did literally hundreds of those immobiliser bypass jobs. Colt 2.8 especially was very prone to this problem. On many vehicles, the pump had to be removed from the vehicle to get to the solenoid where the immobiliser connected to. It was covered with a hard plastic shell, with one-way bolts that had to be carefully drilled out. Obviously a theft deterrent. Stupid dealership 🙄 Old school diesels with mechanical injector pumps and "normal" injectors don't have an ecu😂😂 The Isuzu kb 250 FLEETSIDE, an enormously underpowered vehicle had a "check engine" light, although it had purely mechanical fuel injection. Not sure what it's purpose was, as it would turn on with the ignition, and go off when the engine started. The newer common rail diesels obviously have an ecu and diagnostic ports. I'm not all that fond of them, although they're all going that way for emissions and obviously they perform way way better. Just be mindful to change the injectors timeously, especially if you work the vehicle hard and tow heavy loads. They love to burn a hole in a piston, and then it's goodbye engine😁👍🏻

Hi mate, just wondering when you are going to do some real 4x4ing? Haven’t seen you even drive up a hill worth putting your lockers in?

16 liters per 100. Is good. 20 liters per 100 was normal.

Not for me thanks. I'll stick to my 24 year old Nissan Sunny 1.4Si and enjoy my 7 to the 100😊
