Logan Creek Old Telegraph Track Cape York 2012

[@Misadventure4WD]

Could never trade the sport mate. For longer trips like this over 6 weeks with the whole family, we need more room. We purchased the SVX last year and have spent 6 months getting her decked out with all the necessary goodies to make her a serious off road weapon. We call her Monty! She's a homage to British Comedy gurus Monty Python and a cheeky swipe at Land Rover for continuing to make a car that sucks in dirt like a vacuum and has more leaks than wiki. I do love her though.

[@Misadventure4WD]

The Challenger actually had a problem with it's 4WD selector switch for much of the trip and would regularly drop back to 2WD which was the case in this crossing. I don't think many fourbies would do too well in 2WD in that kind of muck. As for the D4, not a spec of dirt. Incredibly well sealed unit with double seals on all the doors.

[@Misadventure4WD]

Decided that they didn't want to go through the next creek Nolans Brook (even deeper) and there was only one way back - and that was across this creek. There are only a couple of exits from the OTL back to the bypass rd, each with a few creeks in between. I think that they figured that since they had successfully crossed this creek once, going back across would be much the same.

Muy buen video amigos gracias d verdad x subir este tipo de vídeos me gusta bastante saludos desde Venezuela .

[@Misadventure4WD]

The D4 is actually a friends car. The Black Defender SVX 'Monty' seen in this video is our new ride but not a replacement for Black Betty. We'll be doing a bit more with both vehicles and switching them up for different trips as needs suit.

[@Misadventure4WD]

Defenders have antiquated (read: terrible) door seals. There is next to no overlap with the body panels and as the car flexes, the seals open up enough to let dust in. When you are travelling on red dust tracks for 5 weeks, you just have to get used to the taste of it. The rear door in particular with the weight of the spare mounted to it is particularly prone to dust leaks. In addition, there are a myriad of drain holes in the floor and boot that allow dust to enter.

[@jimbob1427]

I saw a video somewhere where a guy ( can't remember how) pressurised the cabin slightly and this stopped dust getting inside

Harry, Harry, Harry, sometimes the right foot is not our friend!

[@AbsoluteAcid2112]

What happened to the full video of this trip? It was great would love to see it again

[@campbellrowe4624]

Harry is obviously a very, very novice 4WD'er ....... but there is only one way to learn and that's getting out there with your mates who have experience :)

[@Misadventure4WD]

You'd be surprised how much Harry has done. Was bad luck more than anything getting stuck in that hole.

[@bedmember]

I'm surprised NOT to hear many belts squeaking on your videos with water crossing.

[@Misadventure4WD]

one of three water crossings that the Mitsu got bogged in. Funny thing is that it's his wife's daily driver. Think it will cost him three years worth of make goods to get back in the black.

[@user-li5uk7yz8h]

👍😊👍👍👍

[@ciarlienchi]

sorry to say... but it was "already written" that the Mitsu would got stuck on the way back, the one that was the entrance was steep and impossible to do backwards. It was better to proceed even if the next could be deeper as long as the exit was as easy as this one, or otherwise linked as a train with the Defender or the Disco

[@smashrine]

2:30 ... goes in brown, comes out black. Drive through paintjob.

[@jaimecristalino]

Thanks!

[@RRClasic89]

Cool, sounds good, the defender did the crossing easy, I can see why you have it. No doubt down on comfort, but at home on trips like that one.

[@avenger007007]

What are the odds there was a croc there thinking I have never had this many options before.

[@colinashby3775]

i have a Disco 1 V8, did you let the engine cool before going into the water so the fan has less chance of breaking. i heard this can happen

[@Misadventure4WD]

we planned it so we had a lunch break when we arrived at Logans so everything could cool down before we hit the deep water. It's not just the fan that suffers from water issues. Any rapid colling can create a myriad of problems throughout your vehicle.

[@gr3gwendt]

Why did the Mitsubishi Challenger put a tarp on the front of his vehicle when he has a snorkel? Im new to 4x4 but I thought you only need to do that to stop water going in the air intake?

[@Misadventure4WD]

the tarp helps to disperse water at the front to limit the amount of water hitting the fan. Really easy to damage as simple a thing as a fan and leave yourself stranded.

[@phantomwalker8251]

guys an idiot,yopu do not spin the wheels in water,easy to go down,plus the tarp helps he new one thing only.

[@blibbax]

Heya. Would you mind explaining the sucks in dirt comment? I'm not trying to start a flame war - just curious, having never owned one of these.

[@carlbarkham3115]

Nice to see Australians go off road in something else apart from Toyotas and Nissans.

[@tomar5e115]

looking forward to more videos :-)

[@Cakeious]

Did that car have covid??

[@welur1125]

what happened to RR Sport? was it traded in for that black defender?

[@halllwd94]

How long can a engine run submerged with the Air intake above the water?

[@RRClasic89]

Does this mean that Black Betty is no more, been replaced by a Disco Four? (And yes it rhymes by accident.)

[@breakfree4x4]

That's funny, why would the challenger go back through the creek when he only just got through the first time lol.

[@davidmarshall1259]

living here in the UK we'll all need 4x4's soon if this climate change continues to fuck things up for good!!! i drive a Shogun for fun, not for necessity, but that may need to change soon!!

[@MrDriftonin]

Is that man wearing a green kilt?

[@dalebuchanan4224]

I would leave Harry there!

[@Misadventure4WD]

Haha Dale - he probably deserved it but we've all don stuff like that at some point. Plus we get to put shit on him about it forever now ;)

[@gigiofj40]

Which size of tire has the mitsubishi triton ? I have one and i confuse to buy a tire 265/75 or 285/70 r16 please help me

[@Misadventure4WD]

Eduardo Toro The triton was running 33" tyres mate (285's) in a BF Goodrich

[@axelk.a.cprabudi1144]

I love your videos i like offroad but im kid favorite car : defender 110 👇

[@RRClasic89]

Ah, and had I taken the time to read all the posts on this video I would have seen the one about Monty.

[@lamarjohnson5595]

That place is so beautiful

[@Misadventure4WD]

+Max Johnson Definitely one of our fav destinations in Oz

[@kumbackquatsta]

any adventures with an oka?

[@eb2675]

Harry going back and getting stuck... no surprise. Not sure if that's just an relatively incapable vehicle so he feels obligated to over throttle it, or if his driving technique is just so poor relative to the others. Everyone else's crossing was sensible.

[@Misadventure4WD]

To be fair, his 4WD selector kept jumping in and out and he wasn't getting drive to all the wheels constantly. They are a well known issue with a number of Mitsubishi products that use the electronic selector.

[@axelk.a.cprabudi1144]

2:21 land rover defender 120

[@MrGaryg20047]

Where's the crocodile?

[@SmacSA]

Mitsubishi Submarine hey? Good video

[@axelk.a.cprabudi1144]

I mean 110

[@chrisrobinson6231]

not a good decision to go bak thru

[@marko1314]

Only the Defender made that look easy.

[@paulgabriel-metta6044]

Next time put things on the roof in case of getting wet

[@toyyota8392]

How come some people would rather a Mitsubishi over a proper 4x4 ??

[@wt1236]

I only know one thing, The letter T is missing off the name...... Mitsubishi...t

[@Hazardbone]

Nothing wrong with the old gen 1 and 2 pajeros

[@blibbax]

Sweet!

[@VogueXpeditions]

Niiiiiiiice!

[@nikos3863]

NICE

[@ferrywongalas3352]

Wow.....

[@alessandromelone9483]

OK!!!!!!!

[@ew6507]

That's why you don't take mitsubishi off road.

[@MaZEEZaM]

Oh Dear lol :D

[@jimbob1427]

Nice 110
