American Reacts to Australian Off-roading in the Victorian High Country

[@megancooper859]

Seeing this through your eyes shows me what we take for granted. The views and even the snorkles, Ive never thought about snorkels not being a standard item on our vehicles

[@freespeechisdead202]

I sure dont take any of the outdoors for granted, especially the bush. I love it.

You’ve really adopted the language, with “gander”. Good job mate.

If you start watching 4WD 24/7 you got enough content to keep you going for weeks of non-stop viewing. Shauno's cooking segments are hilarious as well, the more beers he has had the funnier they get.

[@Amy-dv6zi]

Gotta love the lads from 4WD Action. They inspired me to do the Old Tele Track a couple of years ago. I went loaded for bear. Front and rear winches, two spare tyres, two sets of maxx tracks and the rooftop tent. Dual zone fridge and enough supplies for three weeks. My Mitsubishi Pajero got there a back, so did my four mates.

[@HowlingCurve]

We call'em "fourbies" down here.

[@muzzaball]

Hey Ian, that's the Victorian High Country - which is where they filmed the movie 'The Man From Snowy River'! The tracks they drive on are called 'ridge' tracks coz they are the VERY top of the mountain range. 4wd 24/7 used to be based on a paper based magazine called 4wd Monthly, and it is one of the best to watch; the guys are very Aussie and take their rigs to some wonderful and difficult spots around the country. Cheers mate.

[@kevinrobinson1122]

Back in the early 1990's I was the Policeman at Woods Point where this video begins, the country shown was my patrol area. The area is beautiful and frightening at the same time and the experience cannot be described in one small article. Whilst the area is magnificent it can be deadly with deep snow in winter wild rivers in summer and I pulled many a vehicle and occupants back from the brink of disaster. Many Australians don't leave the city and don't get to enjoy this type of country. The Police Vehicle used was a Toyota Landcruiser Troopcarrier (petrol, due to sub-zero temperature conditions) mechanical PTO winch in full Bullbar protection and extended range fuel tanks, communication was handled by 5 radios including HF, UHF and VHF Police radios and UHF CB and VHF CB Civilian Radios.

[@deanbritton7436]

Beautiful part of Victoria. I've been up there 4 wheel driving and camping with mates for 30 years. Still a lot to see.

[@popcornshiner3937]

We have some amazing tracks in Aus, Its my favourite pass time as well, nothing better than hitting a track setting camp and cracking a tinny, you should do a few more off roads vids.

[@zamnelna]

Been years since I last went Bush Bashing (off-roading). I would sit it the tray (back of the Ute) and the last time I went, after hitting a particularly large mound, my backside was flying high above the vehicle (normal) when the truck did a sudden veer off the side, so when I fell back down, it was half out of the Ute. Scared the bageebers outta me….plus my buttcrack getting a very solid smack onto the vehicle’s tray side….ouch! Still laughed like a loon 😜

[@dougcox3990]

You might enjoy videos from Malcolm Douglas, about 40+ years old, but he used to go into the real outback and spent much time among the natives.

My son and I have met these guys a few times and they are great blokes. The high country is spectacular, and has awesome history. I've driven it in my patrol and riden it on my 300..

[@Hypherr]

Glad to see some interest in the Aus 4wd scene, we have some amazing country down here. I’m lucky enough to get to experience some of it. I drive a 2000 model Nissan GU Patrol wagon, 4.2L, slow as hell but she goes almost everywhere. She sits on a 2.5/3 inch lift on 33 inch muddies. Got the full setup for camping out for weeks at a time. Sadly they don’t build trucks quite like the used to anymore.

[@indianacones8410]

I've never enjoyed watching someone learn the Aussie way, maybe it's the fact your really interested and curious about things Your not sure of and keen to learn , bravo sir Much love from aus ,as a matter of fact I live a quick car ride from where they are, (it's a lot harder then it looks )

[@nuthousenut4017]

The reason for the high production value is most of not all of these videos were actually filmed and aird on TV good bunch of guys that make great videos

[@eekvos]

Hey mate, love watching your videos on Australia - thanks and keep up the good work. Since you're an off-road enthusiast, thought I'd suggest watching Salty Davenport's channel. No need to react to it or anything, just think you'll enjoy his content. He has plenty to watch but he does a series of about 8 episodes where he explores these stunning remote areas through Western Australia. Then again, he is local so I think most of his content covers WA. :) Episode 1 is titled Helena & Aurora Ranges and from there it's pretty easy to follow on with each episode. None the less - here's a quick list: Ep 1: Great Western Woodlands (Helena & Aurora Ranges) Ep 2: Coral Coast Ep 3: Kennedy Range Ep 4: Dhu Fishing (South Coast) Ep 5: Coastal Deserts Ep 6: Best Desert Camping in Australia Ep 7: No Man's Land Ep 8: The Woodlines Link to his channel: kzbin.infofeatured Link to EP of that series: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYavaoJ_hNl0fKM Enjoy! :)

Mate, you’ve got to watch the newer videos for this channel and check out the cooking section, you’ll have a real laugh!

[@28russ]

Lived in Bright (where he says they are at the start) for a few years in an old log cabin in the bush with no power. Like camping for a few years. It was a great experience. You'd love it there. It's a spectacularly beautiful place and great for 4WDing. It's just below Mt Hotham in Victoria, one of the few places it snows down here. It's like the 3rd most visited inland tourist destination or someshit like that. Did a lot of motorbiking and 4WDing around there in an old series 1 land rover. They're pretty much the equivalent of the old WW2 jeep the yanks drove (but British built so it's better lol).

[@johnkoniw4687]

The Victorian high country is an awesome place to explore. I have an old 80 series Land Cruiser. Had it for 23 years. Turbo petrol manual. 3” lift, 35” tyres, 4:88 diff gears set up for over landing. Front and rear bars, winch, dual batteries, drawers, fridge, roof rack and all that stuff everyone has. Last trip was to the Simpson Desert. 7500k trip. A constant money pit but they’re memory machines. The Victorian high country and central Australia are my favourites to go explore.

[@hughwarne4574]

I live in Tassie and have to go only 10 minutes up the road to find realy good off roading tracks that are seriously fun but technical, 30 to 45 minutes gets me to somewhere that I could just follow gravel roads and tracks for a week or two and possibly not travel the same one twice. Love watching your reaction to what you are seeing. Keep it up. Cheers Hugh.

[@andrewstrongman305]

I live in Alexandra, Victoria. The high country is like my backyard. The guy I work for also runs 4WD training courses (SafeTrek). If you come to visit our fair shores, I'm sure you'll find many who would be happy to show you around. If you are any good at filming outdoors (or hook up with someone who is), you could end up with hours of documentary film showing your adventures to present later.

Love your passion for Aussie muscle cars, and just Australia and our cultures in general 🤙 You should do another one of their videos. They do incredible trips all around Australia in awesome Aussie 4wd’s. Seano recently shipped his 60 series Land Cruiser over to the states and the boys did Moab and Colorado 👌

[@308V8HZ]

Roothy is worth checking out , what a dead set Aussie Legend !!!

[@topendtrucker]

The DMax on this show runs 31's on purpose, its to show that the average joe with a lightly modified 4wd can still get out there and do it

[@Raven-cf5qd]

Nah. It's mainly because the DMAX is IFS and you can only go so far lift wise before you need to start getting things like a diff drop, upgraded control arms, upgraded CV joints and axles. 2 inch is usually the sweet spot and 31-32 is the biggest you can really do.

[@Raven-cf5qd]

And also to mention laws in Australia are very strict on lifts, tyre size etc. And another reason is that when you go doing bigger lifts, tyres etc it makes the vehicle more prone to breaking stuff. But like I said upgrades are an option but they aren't absolute. Shit will still break easier.

[@topendtrucker]

@@Raven-cf5qd I take it you dont watch 4WD 24/7 .. It Is why Graham runs 31's, go watch any of the videos where they go over his 3 DMax's he has owned

@@topendtrucker dude go watch their video about lift kits they go go into into detail about suspension lifts and the wear it will cause on IFS vehicles

[@indianacones8410]

Your correct , not sure what old mates on about , the point of the dmax is to show you are able to do these trips in your "daily drive " not just a rigs But everyone can have there opinion

[@bathgrub8751]

The dual spares on the backs are usually on what we call 'tourers', because its so far between tyre shops in remote areas. Another spare is just a bit of extra insurance or assurance youll hopefully get home. The rig you were drooling over is a chopped Nissan GU Patrol. In Aus, Patrol and Landcruiser have been the go to for a tough 4wd because of the R&D put into them in the early 90s. Though like you said, we have a lot of choice.

[@sarge151]

If you watch anything 4WD on KZbin, this is the channel to watch Big thumbs up : )

[@tanoz1440]

I remember my dad taking us up tracks like these in a Holden as a kid towing a camper van or boat, it was nuts.

[@gvansomeren]

As an American living in Australia, watching an American watch an Australian show I approve. Done the Simpson and the old tele track. Living in Tasmania and driving an old gq patrol is a dream come true.

[@AridersLifeYT]

[@FoxMcScrooge]

80 series Landcruisers are probably one the greatest 4wds ever made. That and TD42 Patrols. Awesome what you can turn them into.

[@CloudWarrior904]

@IWrocker, I live approx. 100-160km from this area and while not off-roading i have driven extensively through this area on paved roads and camped out and it is very beautiful country even without an off-road vehicle. Would be great to see youy come here and go on a trip through the Victorian high country depicted here, and I look forward to see you make a video about the trip. keep up the good work. I found your channel just recently and love the content.

[@michelle.Classer]

I grew up in the Vic high country where The Man from snowy river was filmed, love the mountains. My fourbie is a 2003 Toyota Hilux 3.0 TD and still runs like new can't go wrong .

[@WJHProduction]

That little DMAX is a great ute for offroading. They bought it and built it up to be a more realistic offroader for the average Australian who has a 4x4 ute for work but also wants to go off road without breaking the bank. They take it everywhere and it does great. To answer the snorkel question, Isuzu offers them as a factory option, now they also come standard with a rear difflock in the 4wd models. Great little 4wds...

[@NaomiNunya]

Wow I enjoyed this video immensely, thank you for this review!

[@timbarton6150]

[@stuarthancock571]

This channel should have a contract with a TV network. Their production is second to none. They employ multiple cameramen making hundreds of hours of footage and then all edit it down for KZbin episodes. They do get sponsored by 4WD accessory brands (and Iron Jack beer) so there's a bit of "comments for cash" but its subtle enough to enjoy it.

Some of the bigger rigs outwheel him but he does a brilliant job with it, check out his solo touring episodes under the title of Off Grid also you may have watched the episodes where the boys started talking from inside their sheds (garages) these are full is other segments, like tech talk, photos of rigs from viewers, massive fails of vehicles and questions answered, always interesting and sometimes hilarious too.

Mate honest to god if you like any sort of off roading in America you will love this channel, watch every trip they do my personal favourite is the $1000 track down in Tasmania

[@MicahBell_1860]

Like the camera car, mine is a 1994 Landcruiser 80 series GXL 8 seat wagon, 1HD-T (Factory Turbo Diesel, 4.2 litre (256ci) inline 6), 5spd, 4" suspension lift, 35" muddies (mud terrain tyres) part-time 4wd kit, Factory front & rear diff locks, long range fuel tanks, winch bar & tow bar. I rebuilt the gearbox & transfer case at the end of last year & I am going to rebuild the engine this year with a 4.5 litre stroker kit with bigger G turbo injectors & pump. My favourite off road trip is on almost every Aussie's bucket list, The Old Telegraph Track in Queensland which goes to the northern most point of Australia, the tip of Cape York Penindula. You can check that out on 4WD 24/7s KZbin channel. 2nd favourite is a combination of the Glass House Mountains & Fraser Island. Also can be seen on 4WD 24/7.

[@mort8143]

That 'Old Coach Road' was third gear fun on my old XR600 Honda. Some great tracks around here, 4wd and Motorbike.

Isuzu D-Max is my dream vehicle, mainly for its towing capacity having a truck engine in a car. I own horses so need something that can easily tow 1000+kg's of horses plus another 1000kg float. Seeing the D-Max tackle the off road tracks is even more incentive to keep saving for it 🙌

[@blinqa5238]

The dual cab Ute towing the trailer and the black single cab auto one were both Nissan patrols. Very popular over here with the TD42 engine which is a mechanical fuel pump inline 6 diesel, they are nicknamed the kettle for getting hot but well looked after ones stay cool. A lot of Aussie are starting to do engine swaps and import 6BTs and Duramax for their patrols which make them unstoppable off road.

[@colinwhiston5027]

VHC is the best. Love getting out when I can in either my GU Patrol, or my '86 MK Patrol 😁😁👍

[@lynwill65]

The Vic High Country is gorgeous and yes, thick bushland dotted with small towns where you will find fabulous Aussies. The town Walhalla was mentioned, they only got electricity to the town in 1998, even though it was a mining town with a long history. The Toyota Landcruiser is very popular here, even among non off roaders, especially in Melbourne's richest suburbs, where they are called Toorak Tractors. Toorak being a VERY wealthy area.

[@dawnrazornephilim]

My soulmate and I lived out of a 60 series Landcruiser wagon (early 80s model) for 4 years or more. It was a brilliant vehicle. Up North where I call home, a 3WD is a pretty common family vehicle because you need something a bit tougher than your family sedan.

Nothing quite like the Victorian High Country. 35+ years back Me and one or two mates would head up there (Me in my HJ47, David in his 2.2 Hilux) and have a ball. We had nothing but a hand winch (great incentive for not getting stuck) and diff lockers we had only seen in magazines. That was an adventure, no phones back then only the CB and cut off from the rest of the world and no wiz bang fancy stuff like these blokes. We also did it on standard 7.50 x 16 tyres and wheels. These blokes had it easy.

[@timwhelan4347]

Only running 8 or so psi so not massive power, but more then adequate. On 37's, it could go places most people cannot. It was caged for the event of ending up on its lid etc. A lot of cash thrown into it for a weekend warrior. It was a pretty sorted and good looking rig.

Ian, I loved your video and reactions on 4WD in Australia. The 4wd 24/7 KZbin channel that you watched is one of my favourites. Other good ones in Australia that I would recommend are Ronny Dahl 4Wheeling Australia and Tyler Thompson. I’ve watched some of American videos on 4WD and I’ve noticed that not too many of your trucks are fitted with air snorkels and frontal protection bull-bars, whereas in Australia, these are one of the first things we fit to our 4WD. That’s because we have a lot of river crossings and kangaroos are known to jump in front of your vehicle without warning. In another of your videos, you were surprised to hear that there is snow in Australia. The Australian Alps has more snow cover (in area) than the Swiss Alps! The Victorian High Country featured in your video is covered in snow in winter.

[@IWrocker]

Thank you for such a great comment! I’m glad you enjoyed some videos of mine and yea as an avid off-roader, I totally dig the Aussie style off-road builds. They look more the part and there is just so many awesome vehicles to choose from whereas in the USA it’s quite limited. And people just tend to slap a lift and tires on and end it at that. Thanks for the suggestions too, cheers mate

[@IWrocker]

Oh and on a side note, that area in the 4WD video was beautiful and would look crazy with snow! I never thought any of Australia got snow, that is so cool!

[@Catlover1784]

I used to live in the Highlands in Victoria 35 years ago. Every year we would get snow ❄️ . It was awesome as kids to play in it..

[@BradGryphonn]

Yep, the snorkel is a factory option. Most Australian sold 4WDs have a snorkel option. My old 60 series...it died a less than graceful death due to rust issues those models had. We lived on a beach for quite some time. Anyway, my 60 series Landcruiser wagon had the old 2H diesel and a snorkel. I put extensions on the axle breathers so that they were above wheel height It was a great old rig while it lasted. I bought it in around 2007(?) and put it to rest in a paddock up North in 2012. It has some stories to tell.

EXPLANATIONS : The Isuzu D-Max is a good little light duty off roader. Along with all the smaller Toyota's, Hilux, 4Runner etc The problem with even bigger tyres on the D-Max is you need a lift kit and the rear axle is weak. Factory snorkel option kits are common in Australia. The Nissan Patrol and Toyota Landcruiser are the pinnacle of Aussie off road vehicles. Jeep is not popular here due to their reliability problems in hot weather (over 110deg) and total lack of spare parts outside major cities. Remember all of these vehicles cost 50% more in Australia than the US due to import taxes. The Black rig with the "Orto" plates is a Fifth Gen Y61 Nissan Patrol (Safari). The fish cakes are basically just Tuna rissoles...
