The Simpson Desert Solo Ride | What Happened to my Landcruiser?

In this video series join Terry from Jafffa Adventures as he heads out to the Simpson Desert for a solo trip on his motorbike. The plan is to camp just west of Big Red and do day trips west into the Simpson Desert.
Eyre Creek is in flood, so the desert is looking sensational.
On my way home my 200 Series Landcruiser has a critical failure that sees me on a tilt tray for the rest of the way home.
You are in store for one epic adventure!!

Hi Terry keep up the good work. I have noticed you’re not the first person with the BP51 suspension to have the front strut failure. I also have the same suspension been in for three years now with no problems so far. Would be interesting to see what arb have to say

[@JafffaAdventures]

Next episode should interest you mate. Cheers 👍😎

[@VenidiciRobidici]

Shame mate, ya 200, but at least you're ok and did it when in the clear. Suppose that'll be a future video. Cheers too for the patience in setting up your go pro to take those passing shots. If it gets too much just remember there were a few of us who appreciate and value that effort. Thanks for the wholesome entertainment 😁

[@JafffaAdventures]

Glad you appreciate the work put into these videos mate, that means a lot. Next weeks instalment will be all about the 200 and its rise from the ashes😎👍

[@VenidiciRobidici]

@@JafffaAdventures I was actually thinking of Phoenix rising, haha, noice! And they were great passing shots too, loved'em

[@JafffaAdventures]

Awesome👍👍

[@DiHandley]

One of the most amazing places on this planet we call home. Been there done that. I understand and fully appreciate your spiritual connection Terry.

[@JafffaAdventures]

It really is a wondrous spot and a place I keep getting called back to. In fact, I’m on my way there again shortly😎👍

[@Ranger670]

Oh no! Was the "big bump" a deep pothole caused by the recent heavy rain in the area? They can be a trap. I've rearranged my in-canopy set up on one. Luckily no vehicle damage for me but I did manage to bend a fridge slide out of shape and break a dozen eggs all over my fridge contents. Hoping all is fixed now and you're back on the road.

[@JafffaAdventures]

Was just one of those low depressions in the bitumen, not even sign posted it was so inconsequential. Next weeks episode details the cruisers rise from the ashes😎👍

[@shanenorwell8580]

Excellent episode mate 👍🏻

[@JafffaAdventures]

Thanks Shane, that’s very kind mate😎👍

[@FlatBrokeAdventures]

Looks like a great adventure Terry. What a bugger breaking your car. I hope your insurance covered the recovery.

[@JafffaAdventures]

Sure was a great trip. Next weeks instalment will reveal all😉👍

[@FlatBrokeAdventures]

Hi Terry Nice vid again ❤ You got your old workhorse out of the shed! Mate, all good and keep riding until you can’t hold the handlebar anymore!! Safe ride, safe trip all times Cheers from Germany 🇩🇪

[@JafffaAdventures]

Cheers mate, love my bike and my desert😎👍

[@rockbiterhd]

Yes you get the true feel of the place out there riding on your own ,do you think the shocker should have taken that hit or product failed enjoy

[@JafffaAdventures]

It was age and abuse I believe. Cheers😎👍

[@mini_steve]

Have I missed a video or 3? It's Friday arvo and Im 3 beers in, but don't think I'm drunk enough to miss that many videos. Looking forward to whatever this is 👌

Oh Bummer!!! That's very unfortunate, Terry! You are probably the bloke that looks after that truck more than everyone else out there and this happened!!! Bloody Murphy's law! Was that an expensive recovery from there? No doubts you'll have that truck up and running again in no time! Best of luck mate!

[@JafffaAdventures]

Yep, going awesome now, currently in the Flinders. I have RACQ Ultimate so $8000 recovery cost me zero😎👍

Thanks Steve, bound to happen sooner or later 😎👍

[@robdotcom71]

I take it then the whole WA trip series in done and dusted then... right? It was a great idea to head out and do a ride in the Simpson Desert. I've never seen it so green. Cheers.

[@JafffaAdventures]

Yep last episode was here. 4x4 & Camping in Australia | The Road Home | 4WD Locations You Don't Know of kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y32VhYWrbc2opqs Great trip, thanks for sharing 😎👍

[@jeetts59]

That’s not good. Iv crossed the Simpson been recovered once, in a Land Rover. Hope it all gets sorted. Great video captured the atmosphere of the Simpson very well

[@JafffaAdventures]

Thanks Harold. All sorted and now a great camp fire story. Go well mate 😎👍

[@ianmoore4327]

Hi Terry, what’s the plan for replacing the Thuraya? I’m stuck with a $800 brick as well😢

[@JafffaAdventures]

I exchanged it for an Inmarsat unit. My provider gave me around $500 or so for the old handset, and discounted 12 months of subscription for the Inmarsat unit. I’m still out of pocket of course, but it’s less painful. Cheers😎👍

[@grahameroberts8109]

What time of year was this trip Terry? Probably a good thing you didn’t come across that pothole on the bike! 😱👍🏻🙏🦘

[@JafffaAdventures]

It was late August last year. Love my bike, love the desert😎👍
