Is Cape York Actually That Hard? Old Tele in a Delica

[@louiskudlak2241]

Thanks for showing us the easier tracks around the tough spots, not all of us have comp vehicles and v8’s, I’ve a 2” lift and 31’s , great camping spots 👍👍👍

[@jamesharwell9171]

I would love to see a mix of both. Driving out to different locations to show the beautiful country, then amazing cooking.

[@NathanKingOverland]

Me too.

[@firetofork]

Great feedback. Will do

[@philby1979]

I agree. I like the mix of both.

[@soletitenfoldu]

He said just be 4wd24/7 😝

[@lukerichardson4383]

@@soletitenfoldu better than 4wd24/7

[@ZL1GHZ]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this. It's good to see a channel do the Cape where 4WD is a means to an end, not an end in itself, and even better in a budget 10 Week Tourer.

[@danielreynolds6498]

Epic episode Harry…full of everything…. Danger … laughter …. Stunning Scenery… good times … big smiles and best of all epic adventures…. Can’t wait for the next part … as always love your work .. a complete.. calm natural 👍

[@laurencebourne9242]

Harry that would have to be the best video of the Cape trip ever. You've shown a side no one else shows, we'll done and thank you

[@NathanKingOverland]

I loved it Harry! Do more of these. Shauno and Graham had better watch out!

[@things_I_saw]

Cooking segment with Shaun and Harry could prove interesting

[@NathanKingOverland]

@@things_I_saw I’d watch it for sure.

[@bjp107]

Great ep - refreshing to see something different from you. Good to see a ‘normal’ car go through.

[@Malc664]

Epic Harry. You really captured the beauty and the drone shots along the river gives the place some perspective. Fantastic job & I enjoyed it. 🍻

[@NathanKingOverland]

I agree. I loved it.

[@michaelsweet3256]

Looks like a blast! Can't wait to see the continuation video

[@OnCountryWithMick]

Guessing it will be the same as the Pajero so that Centre Diff Light would be blown. The wheels would be flashing if it did not engage right. Good choice not to attempt the really hard stuff. If there is an easier way around why not do it. As for the whole 4wd v camping/touring I'm with you mate. Much rather do things to get to a destination not just to brag I did this track or that obstacle.

[@4x4CampingandAdventures]

I am over cape York videos! But thank you Harry this was different than the norm, the cooking was fantastic great video mate.

[@Andrewvdd]

Go Dennis looks like a epic trip. Can’t believe how well the little van goes in that environment just eats it up. Keep the great content coming Harry.

[@T4nkcommander]

Been subbed since you started your channel. Really enjoyed this.... good work, in all regards! Hello from Texas

[@DustyRobertson]

The 4WD system not showing diff lock/4wd is basically the most common problem on the deli and it's to do with the sensors. 99% of the time it's not a problem and only for visual aids.

[@firetofork]

Awesome to know! It feels like it’s locked up

[@scumpert]

@@firetofork I have the same problem with my Pajero after having just done the Gibb River, Kalumburu and Mitchel Falls Roads! Seems to be a common problem across the Mitsubishi range. Paid $2.95 per litre at Drysdale River station and I worked out that the whole trip (9980km) cost $3,805.58 which is 38c per KM!!!

[@stevesmith3556]

I agree! A mix of trips and cooking would be great! You are one of 3-4 channels I've stayed subscribed to over the years. That would be a great addition! 👍🤠 P. S. Get with Pete to help with filming on the move🙈

[@Alan.livingston]

Nice to see one of the WA crew doing something outside of their back yard.

[@Gee-Wizz]

Great fun vid Harry thank you so much for sharing.

[@joshuabamford5396]

Hey Harry, if you turned right instead of left into the creek entry you took at palm creek you would had found the even easier way out. But never the less it’s all fun!

[@lemo87a]

Only did the old tele last month in a Land Rover Perentie that we hired from No Limits in Cairns. Bloody excellent trip, this takes me right back. Good stuff

[@marcusrwalker]

My favourite content you have ever produced mate, funny as too.

[@Jamesd__]

Love these vids just as much as the cooking!

[@gregmanders7172]

That's an excellent ep Harry. Keen to see more.

[@defenderoff-road]

It is all about having fun with Family and friends and yes the Cape is great ... thank you for sharing a different side to you.

[@russelllewis4998]

Brilliant. Absolutely loved this and hope you are doing more.

[@seanchristie7150]

Great to see you changing it up if you can do it in a Delica, you can do it in just about anything

[@russelldold4827]

Thanks for sharing, I had a good time watching 🙂

[@mccallsensei3293]

Thanks for posting, great to see a different perspective for the average bloke.

[@franko707]

Elite episode Harry, keep it up!

[@911Tweek]

Seeing those cruiser's winch eachother really lets you see in real time how the tracks changed over the years

[@jackkemp7327]

Mate absolutely loved this, really enjoyed the Vlog style in a 4wding video quite refreshing

[@toomasnelson4561]

this is the first time I have seen the 4 x 4 harder stuff rater than just digging out of a bog. Good to watch for a change and the mate ship seems good as well

[@airbats801]

Look like a fun trip. This may be the first time I've seen a mitsu on the tele in the tubeland. Fantastic!

[@the.wazman]

There's a 3rd entrance mate, way easier with a rocky bottom. I done it with a trailer last year :)

[@stevetoole1200]

Awesome to see a bloke up the cape not purposely smashing his car up Feel like heading up right now !!!

[@simonmiles4727]

Nice one mate Really enjoyed the vid Keep them coming

[@MudducksTouringAustralia]

Great one Hard! I love seeing the mix of 4wding and camping. Cheers Steve

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

I think a few more adventure videos would be great on the channel. Include recipes as part of it and it would be even better. Just recipes all the time does get a bit meh after a while. The vids you were doing when you were up in Broome were some that I really enjoyed and although the focus of the channel is outback cooking, I don't think it would hurt to include some of the travels as well on more vids. The attack angle on 4x4 vans pretty much sucks though. I remember we used to clobber everything with the old Spectron we had.

[@firetofork]

Completely agree mate. This trip has definitely got me energised to get some more travel on the channel. I find the cooking vids on their own are a useful resource to refer to without too much fluff to sift through to get to the recipe, but when I’m doing cool trips I definitely want to include more about the journey

[@davidwilkinson4382]

Great video, agree with the rocking chair in camp, it's a must have!

[@sailingcitrinesunset4065]

Nice video👍 The girl driving the landcruiser down that steep drop didnt appear to be wearing a seatbelt! that was a brave move.

[@4xhoser]

Love this Harry and you actually showed the bypasses 🤘🇨🇦😁

[@colinwhiting5410]

Great experience with a great group of mates enjoyed especially all the banter going on, at least you could had a small cooking session and used gas torch to toast a marshmallow 😂🤣. 👀 forward to continuation of trip. Cheers Wombat 🐾👍👍👍🫓

This ep is awesome Harry. Budget car needs a proper rig rundown

[@daviddews6196]

I enjoyed it!!! The cape from a different perspective!

[@Paul.Reid123]

Great episode. Good to mix it up a little

[@rogerclift2705]

Oh, “Delica”! I thought you said “Celica”. Thought that would’ve been ballsey to take one of those to the Cape!🤣

[@rossbrumby1957]

Not really, an early commodore was driven there by a car magazine in the 80's and guys from another magazine drove a Valiant Charger there sometime in the 90's.

[@Maria1956gold]

Was so good to say hi to you at the caravan park in Weipa! My hubby was the one who joked about not able to find the beer in Weipa 😂

[@garyrish]

Great inspiring video especially for those who don’t have the 100k plus vehicles and all the gear really enjoyed this one do a few more like it from time to time

[@jameswilkins7757]

great vid also good to see the other tracks

[@aydendunne6051]

Should’ve turned right and driven up the creek the other way. Unlocked cars on 31’s we’re driving up in July. Great episode mate, almost as good as your bush rib recipe

[@chrisnewman861]

After watching a few recent vids that's what I'll be doing in my mostly stock mn triton in September for sure!

[@RobbMinion]

I absoluuutly love your cooking harry, but this vid might be My most favourite yet.

[@ianbell735]

Hey mate good pics but what's the cooler you used for your beer cans

[@lovemypajero]

So we did the OTT in a Delica and 2 1993 diesel Pajeros about 12 months ago. I know tracks change but that first creek doesn’t look like what we crossed.

[@chantelleamos3181]

Delhunty was my favourite place. Ended up staying an extra night, so beautiful

[@MinimaDomum]

Great to see the less extreme tracks for a change! I'd love to get up there one day but my lil car on 29s ain't gonna hack the tough stuff

[@Sinatra1297]

Your best video yet.

[@utahjohnnymontana3373]

What? No cooking? I won't watch it...well may just 35' and 36" of it. Great one, Harry. Beautiful spot. Picnic in the river :)

[@randomuser4310]

Awesome video mate

[@ChrisIsOutside]

This is awesome! I have a deli too and love it. Need to get a bar on it and lift kit though

[@techietome]

when my winch sounded like yours, it was cos id wired the small black controller wire to the wrong black. Rather than pulling the winch back out I ran it back up to the battery neg. Sounded a lot better then, no more chatter from the solenoid. Good work regardless. Thanks for the content.

[@firetofork]

It was a dirty battery connection giving me the issues- all good now

[@erichughes9098]

[@tyrausfarrelly6257]

Great video Harry, just wondering what points you attached the Equalizer strap to? I just fitted an Xrox bar to my Delica L400, 2004 model and bolted two 4.5T tow hooks to the center bar side mounts. Apparently, they are made to fit the tow hooks, not sure how a recovery would go using them though? Keep the Delica trips coming. Cheers

[@firetofork]

The factory points mate- the guys at Delica Garage reckon they are stronger than the bullbar points

[@tyrausfarrelly6257]

@@firetofork Thanks for the reply Harry, it seems a confusing topic as there are lots of different opinions when you read through the Delica forums. That looked like a pretty steep winch, so I guess they must be fairly strong. Love the Delica videos and seeing where you can go with it, keep them coming Harry. Cheers mate🙂

[@lucysoutdoors]

looks like the Delica is handling the trip well.

[@Dirtysluz]

Awesome mate, looks like you had a ball! Question, what mount are you using for your phone on the windscreen?

Well done mate

[@joshwolf1095]

Yes, Ian Thorpe shaves his chest to help him swim however you need to understand that doing this to yourself isn't going to help the Delica in the water. Pro trip: when it comes time for Bill to learn to swim you can't just cake him in silicon spray and toss him in the water. To be honest this isn't a great approach with cars either. Criticism aside, it was the subtle re-use of music from "I Don't Hate It (Entirely)" after having a go at BAD179's cooking that I really appreciated. Code word "Silicone"

[@pauldavies4650]

That was an amazing video 👌

[@Retired-nohurry]

OTT isn't too hard. We towed our 2.2T camper through the whole way. Palm is by far the hardest crossing now days. Frenchmans is a bit harder too be honest especially with a big camper in tow....but still fairly easy
