4 Wheeling Adventure The Kimberley, part 7/9

[@lumpskie]

Another great video! Greetings from New Hampshire, USA where a lot of us are addicted to Ronny Dahl videos. They even convinced me to get a diesel 80 series of my own! Keep 'em coming.

[@miketanis2508]

Great drone footage. Amazing how at around 11 min in you can see how tiny your trucks look in that big open space. You are in the middle of nowhere. Love this series and your videos

[@benedictsmith4939]

Another great video Ronny, I'm really enjoying the series. With the vehicle issues, I can sympathize with you there. I did the Munja over 5 days back in July 2016, with my wife and son. After initially hitting the track, we had starter motor issues at the first major creek crossing. I high-tailed it back to the station after getting a roll start from a few fellow 4wds. A few hours later and a few phone calls to my mechanic in Kununurra, we diagnosed it was a blown relay. I was determined to stay on the track and with a bit of advice from a few of the station hands, we learnt how to arc out the starter with a screwdriver! 5 days on the Munja, the misses would get in, foot on the brake and hit the ignition as I lay under the motor with the screwdriver. It worked and we made it through without any other issues, thank goodness! Was a mission going solo but I was determined not to head home. Glad we did it and I'm really enjoying seeing you guys do the same. Next time I'm definitely taking a mate or 2. Cheers for the videos, keep them coming. Smithy, from Kununurra.

[@wilco9295]

Great episode Ronny , fantastic that your father joins you . Reminds me of the many trips I did with my old man while he was alive. Enjoy every minute.

[@AndrewGroat7]

Hey Ronny! I have a recommendation for keeping grass out of the rad. I take a piece of screen (window mesh), and use cable ties to ties it somewhere between the front grill and the radiator. Keeps anything from sticking to the rad, and as a plus when bugs hit it, they stick to it and not your rad. Prevents a lot rad plugging and makes cleaning very easy. Just remove the mesh, give it a good shake, and put it back in place. Great job on the videos, I really enjoy them!

[@arcoeco]

Know your vehicle! Good examples Ronny of how knowing your vehicle, no matter what brand it is, can help you get out of trouble. Enjoying the ride mate.

[@warrencramer4516]

Incredible series! Well done!!

[@brettkuhnold216]

Another great series Ronny. Love watching your videos, your inspirational to get out there and explore. Big thumbs up

[@garyedwards2130]

Cheers Ronny, Superb Drone footage that gives a true impression of the Aussie wilderness. Great content mate.

[@LucasTJahn]

Incredible episode once more. Really appreciate the effort you put into this.

[@110adventures7]

Another great video Ronny, some great cinematography, particularly the nighttime campfire slow motion's panning up to the stars. And the drone footage brilliant !

[@scottholmberg5198]

Hey another great episode. I have similar issues with water, I use 20l jerrys as well. For a couple of years now I've been using a siphon hose to my billy or drink bottles for my 'using' water. I don't have to siphon every time then and if I have excess I pour it back in when I'm packing up. By the time the jerry is too empty for the siphon to work the jerry is nice and light.

[@patm5165]

Great Video, way to go Juha for saving the Jeep, pulling that sway bar out in the Bush.

[@greatsouthernoverland]

You guys nailed the drone footage in this one, brilliant!!!!

[@insaynbcr]

Ronny, if that smaller blue ground cloth is made from synthetic materials, it may take RIT dye effectively. Boil up a big pot or metal rubbish can of water big enough to fit that entire ground cloth in. Add whatever color of RIT dye you want to change to. Allow it to simmer until you achieve the color you are looking for. Drain, rinse, and air dry.

[@fantus6668]

Mate that intro was National Geographic Quality! Nice one!

[@benibennett681]

Wow crazy, sleeping on the ground right next to water with salties in it. Years back in the Kimberleys some friends and I did a multi day canoe and camping trip in fresh water crocodile territory. No salties. We were told their mostly harmless but set up camp up from the waters edge. We thought 100 or so meters was good - wrong ! Damn things were walking / dragging through our camp in the middle of the night. To be woken up as one was sliding beside the tent. I spent the rest of the night scared as heck, holding the only weapon I had, a knife. Like that was going to help me. Ronny, love the videos. The four wheeling is good but so many places you've shown I've also been. Good times, very cool and hello from Canada

[@jonnyt8056]

Awesome, just sat down with a tinny after a days graft in the garden. 👍

[@alfonsocasillas7290]

Looks like an awesome adventure good times

[@jedisid]

Another great episode Ronny! Thanks for sharing.

[@christiand6768]

And one thing people seems to have forgotten. Ronny has changed his whole rear axle housing because the old one got bend!! On Brians jeep a bracket broke and so many people scream how bad the jeep is. Fantastic. Take a look on Ronnys video how much that had to be repaired on his landcruiser after 100 000 km. It was actually a lot more than I thought is was going to be. Anyway, When you use your rigs like this again, and again and again things does break. Does not matter what brand.

[@Hazardbone]

But his motor didn't blow up like the jeeps did

[@love2spinvinyl]

Why is it when I watch one of Ronny’s videos within hours of release, their is always 2 dislikes? You would have to be basically a subscriber to watch before me, are they trolls? How can you dislike these?

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

My thoughts too. There must be some real spoil-sports out there with sad little lives. All the effort and time that goes into making stuff like this and a tiny minority just have to be miserable. I suspect it is more about jealousy and the fact that they have no lives off-line.

[@rollyb5061]

very true, just love these vids

[@Torvikholm]

Often people hit the wrong button by accident

[@Hazardbone]

Greenies and trolls

[@bendavisphotography]

Ronny, I use a shade sail as a ground sheet. Got it from Bunnings. Cheap, galv eyelets to pin it down and it let's the sand drop through.

[@nectarioslelekis2238]

Top videos Ronny. Keep them coming

[@warrenfaber2072]

The intro is so dramatic. I was just waiting for David Attenborough voice to start narrating. Great vids keep it up.

[@secret5.]

Get a spring hitch for these off road trips, great on the road as well guys.

[@neshculi]

Another nice vid rhoni and the team.thanx mate

[@Khorsathedark]

Great episode.

[@jaymesannand]

Hooked on these mini series trips!

[@funnyeh]

Thanks Ronny.

[@sickjohnson]

Loved that epic drone footage in the first have guys! Cheers from Canada.

[@RUSSIA-ZOV]

Красотища то какая!

[@tonydawnwright346]

Hi Ronny, one suggestion for your water containers, maybe screw a hand pump tap on main screw cap of the container, similar to a camper trailer kitchen

[@MrAe86ln]

Awesome B roll at the start Ronny, i was waiting for David Attenborough to start talking.

[@tims728]

Good work Ronny. We didnt see tje bread come out if the oven. Perhaps a work of prgress? Trail repairs and winching shows travelling in a group has merits. Well done.

[@funkydodo149]

Use a piece of shade net installed on the grill, that will catch some of the crass seeds going into the radiator fins. Wrapping the net and fix it to the front bash plate will catch even more seeds from underneath.

[@JimmyDevere]

Love the series Ronny!

[@fasteddie5174]

Seems the Jeep just improved itself over the trip. Sounds better and flexes better at the end!

[@mehGyver]

@6:40 regarding a water tap system... for camping, I take old liquid laundry detergent containers (think 100 load bottles), and clean them out. They have a handy little plunger button already installed on the side.

[@emu4wd]

Great Vid. As for the Jk many people like me relocate the dampner above the OEM mount (

[@PedroSilva-pr2ef]

Water container idea. You could have 1 water container set up with the tap, or with a hose going down to a tap under the tray... then just refill it as it runs out. You'd still have a multi container system but with the convenience of only filling up the main container once in a while.

[@6226superhurricane]

jk's will break the swaybar bracket off if you don't disconnect offroad but it's usually the opposite side. on the plus side the jeep now rides a lot smoother with no side to side pitching with the swaybar disconnected.

[@Shakshuka69]

I never understood why Brian never disconnects them. The first time I did, it blew my mind. The Jeep just stays level and keeps 4 wheels on the ground over ridiculous obstacles.

[@6226superhurricane]

drunkandgreasy yes it would as on rhd the drivers side is just a tab. the side brian broke has the a larger bracket incorporating the steering stabilizer so it's a lot stronger and more weld. his steering stabilizer is bent pretty bad good chance that may have copped a hit and snapped the bracket off.

[@jr15wa]

I did wonder how that Reese extension was going to fair on the trip when I first seen it.... ...So did the Jeep drive better? I removed the front sway on my Disco ... much better offroad with less side to side pitching...

[@kelvinthomas374]

Great videos. Not sure the Jeep will make it home!

[@rollyb5061]

very good Ronny and team, keep up the great work

[@crt269]

Great series Ronny, I don’t think pulling a boat to fish such huge tides on such a short timeframe was worth it.. however the trip so far looks awesome.

[@JBBunno]

Cruiser has cracks , Jeep has cracks , all the comments about Jeeps lol, Also disconnecting the sway bar makes for a smoother ride,. You didnt have to remove the sway bar just the links. The sway bar can stay put with the links off, its just needed set to centre so it does not foul the inner side wall when flexing.

[@tristansundquist1834]

JBBunno Everyone hates on Jeeps I’m the comment section. I don’t think they realize how reliable they are. I have a 91 and a 2016 Wrangler. The 91 still runs stronger than ever. That’s because I take care of it.

[@lumpskie]

I agree. I have a 1996 diesel 80 series Land Cruiser and a 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. I've wheeled both a lot and wouldn't give up either!

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

Amazing footage as always Ronny, seems like the old man's Jeep needs the big heave ho mate, nothing but headache that rig, maybe not good'a for the Aussie bush bro. Looking forward to the next part mate. Keep em coming. Cheers Moose.

[@leonbudd912]

All the way to the inlet and no fish 😳 You gotta cast net livies and fish of the flats on low tide. If you take a boat again head up to the Calder gorge its packed with jacks. Favourite spot in Aus 👍🏻

[@mountainconstructions]

Wow, that was a really good Ep, well done Ronny and Team Love to have seen some of the shit slinging from the boys camped on the hill :)

[@Spotto6464]

Good stuff Ronny enjoying the videos I've asked before but the drone is it a phantom? How do keep the batteries charged up? And would be possible for you tell us how you all have tackled the toilet situation when your doing such quick setups and pack ups I love the bush and I camp out as much as possible but I've come across some pretty filthy sites and people need education on this not so "talked about" situation great video buddy keep it up love it 👍we will meet one day off the beaten track 🇦🇺best regards Paul

[@shea2750]

Would you be willing to add a nap at the beginning of the videos, or in a link, to show the entire adventure's route and broken down by stages as well? For those of us not familiar with Austria, it sure would be a help. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@mini696]

I'm not surprised that drawbar extension broke the bar. I was thinking that from episode 1.

[@kenmarapese9085]

Wow, excellent vid!

[@4wdadventureoz]

Love my C-Gear mats

[@NoName-OG1]

Likely didn't need to take the whole sway bar out. Just dis connect and tie wire or zip tie out of the way. Teraflex has some nice replacements for both and the steering damper... Been eyeing the falcon shock damper' as it up and out of the way.

[@brad2442]

+Ronny Dahl I use a gravity feed food grade hose that runs from my water containers and dangles over the side of my ute for ease of use when I need it, which have a shut of tap at the bottom with a nozzle works a treat. P.S can you post some close up pics of your ute tray, car body and bar work just to show how it's held up over the last few years, obviously you do some pretty hard stuff just wondering how many scratches/pin striping and rust you have showing through. Cheers

[@aldrimduramax]

Love the videos Ronny , keep up the great content. Try and add the brick to the regular crew

[@andrewvanstaden8922]

Adventure in the first degree

[@efijycat1856]

Man I've been waiting for this. Thanks from Perth WA

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

I don't know how much the boat gets used in the next two episodes but to date it really looks like it wasn't worth dragging it all that way.

[@bobpfaff2258]

Western Australia Now and Then I agree - a lot of effort for little return. Hard work towing anything on such a trip.

[@mark2073]

Regarding plastic bottles, a good use for them is putting between two hard items that chaffe.

[@silentbob267]

I believe Jeremy Clarkson pioneered a method for keeping crocs away when Top Gear went to Australia a few years back. Not sure how hard it is for you to get claymore mines but they seemed to work for him. Well, sort of.

[@insaynbcr]

Have you considered taking along a portable welder for these longer trips? I realize there is a point when too many tools can be tool many. A welder and someone that knows how to use it, can make a huge difference on fixing bigger issues like broken parts.

[@chrisoh6627]

Or just don't buy a jeep 😂

[@JoeC92]

I remember seeing some welder system you can get that's actually just two car batteries and ties into the alternator as well then you can stick weld. Won't be pretty welds likely but hey if it gets you home

[@JoeC92]

Brad Młodystach yes but this system was supposed to be a bit better. Could do more welds and easier on the batteries.

[@bobpfaff2258]

Others have made the comment before, but great drone footage. Can you include in one of your video’s what type of drone you use. Cheers

[@bayselec]

He is a good man that Torbs...

[@darrelljacobjr2120]

In the US they have twine or poly tape with a few strands of wire woven in for electric fencing (for horses). Very flexible and cheap. They also have a Fence Charger that uses very little juice until it senses a ground fault then spikes the voltage up. If you carried a 100 meter roll of the tape/ twine, a few insulators and the charger you could set out a perimiter fence that would keep the crocs (or other animals) at a safe distance. I'd imagine if a croc got zapped by one of the 20 acre units he'd make some noise so you'd know he was there. Then you could borrow a rifle from whichever American was with you to shoot the varmint. After hearing Andrew St. Pierre (sp) say damper (referencing something edible) and then you said it again, so before i got to the explanation on the video, i had to look it up on wiki. Camp bread...ok...lol. What's wrong with using a cheap tarp as your ground sheet? As bright lights hurt my eyes (such as Coleman lanterns), i carry a tripod mast that extends to 20' high (homemade from 1" and 3/4" EMT steel conduit) with an LED light up top, to act as an area light (like a parking-lot light). For the LED i used a 1000-lumen 'drop-in-module' from dealextreme. Powered by a 12V security-system battery sitting on the ground. It lights up the whole campsite from above, and if you get a 3-5 mode module, or with a 1-mode use a PWM dimmer (ebay) it can be dimmed down. The bugs tend to go for it as well which keeps them away from me. For a flashlight i use a Fenix LD22, which runs on 2 Eneloop AA rechargeables. It would light up that riverbank like you were being abducted by aliens.

[@rockbiterhd]

For your water containers modify a caravan tap pump for the lid then just swap to each bottle

[@nuggetzor]

Nice trip mate hopefully one day I can do the same. Time and money though!

[@bluebirdchipseater]

Yes! You need to try some New Zealand tracks some time Ronny!

[@ports787]

Ben • Sutherland would love to see some 4wd channels from there actually. Always been a dream of mine go there with 4wd and check it out actually!

[@Hazardbone]

@@ports787 check out lost sheep adventure

[@danmacka4425]

Check out forbyfitouts in Vic they have a neat water tank system. Hose to fill and use from the bottom air out of a modified cap fitting. You can see it in their touring set up, had it in my last 4Wd.

[@davidperry2374]

You really made this trip look difficult.

[@nashy008]

What are those spotties on the Jeep? Are they any good in comparison to light bars and/or HIDs?

[@MrScalman]

amazing drone views. there is no other way to just see what you can see with drone up there. shame you not doing anything DIY stuff just all bought products and some i think its much overpriced but that's how it works for you so i get it. Australia is just my dream to travel place no cold , mostly dry i mean what can be better.

[@malteweinreich8755]

Dickem damn awesome Ronny just luv wacthing your videos Mate :-)

[@PyrateRumRunner]

Ever tried a Tyvek “sheet”? Amazingly strong and very thin.

[@ThroatShredder]

Hey man that "Bungarra" you identified is actually a Mertens Water Monitor.

[@zackkalwig5714]

U should use the blue sand mat to catch all the long grass

[@danmacka4425]

I’m thinking of heading to Walcott inlet, in aug. what time of year were you there and how was the weather and would you suggest any particular time? I was last in Walcott in a yacht and it was awesome

[@kontrasts6661]

Hey Ronny, loving this series so far! I have a video idea that I think could be pretty interesting as I'm just getting started on the camping/offroading scene and have only so far invested in a stock 4x4. What do people need to get out there in the way of camping equipment and vehicle modifications? Thanks!

[@jackel2236]

Hey Ronny, your videos are always so crisp. Do you film in 4k then downscale to 1080? (Im sure there's alot more to it than that, but my raw drone vids aren't as clear as yours even after KZbin does their compression etc.)

[@feellnfroggy]

If you hang your water containers from a string, you can then pour your water one handed into whatever container you're using at the moment. Hey i know its a goofy trick, but Wranglerstars has a vieo on using a chainsaw to jumpstart your truck. using the clutch and your alternator pulley with a spare belt. Its work watching, especially when in the bush. Im sure at least one of you has a saw right?

[@bush2coast801]

Make a cuppla Radiator covers for the long grass out that blue mat ✔✔✔

[@makaveli2157]

Yesss been waiting for this, :) Thanks Ronny

[@JackSKillin]

When we gonna see the next ep mate ?! Can't wait anymore

[@Pat.Mustard]

Just discovered your channel and loving your videos Ronny. Do ya mates get pissed off with you wanting to film everything though?

[@B4x4]

When Jumpstarting another car, why do you keep the engine running? It will opt to do more damage to the car with the running engine then if it is off. Especially on newer models.

[@TheDenisedrake]

It seems to me (less experienced person) that the vehicles are all overloaded. It would be great to see what gear was good to have, what gear you wish you had, and what gear could have stayed home.

[@ashbristol2893]

These taps work for me Ronny. classplastics.com.au/shop/all-products/miscellaneous-accessories-category/aeroflow-captap-unit/ Spout can rotate and is divided.Water out one side air back in the other.

[@stuartkarlson4135]

I thought I was watching David Attenborough at first.

[@judsoncobb27]

so much jeep hate yet its a almost stock truck doing the same tracks as these extensively modified land cruisers. pretty impressive if i say so !

[@Ronny_Dahl]

It’s quite modified not much is Jeep apart from the shape of it and the engine bay

[@Hazardbone]

The only thing stock on that jeep is the radio lol what video are you watching

[@arcoeco]

Ronny, at 30:37 there appears to be a significant dent in the arm joined to that bracket that sheared off the Jeep. Was impact the cause for that breakage?

[@Ronny_Dahl]

The factory welds came apart pretty much

[@alex.4753]

could you have found some room on the roof of your car to set up your swag or the mattress when you were near that river?

[@xlandroverTDNewtoxlife]

That’s not how the exp date works only if you don’t open and correctly store it as soon as you open it exp date goes out the window normally have one to three days on most products till u should throw away 👍😉

[@mark2073]

3:10 even the mud up there looks like crocodiles

[@TheSkskitey]

Don't think it was worth the trouble towing a boat all that way and only use it once anyway . The Jeeps sway-bar should have been taken off before the rough stuff in hindsight . The crocks wouldn't find that blockade hard to get past but i think only freshy's there anyway . Great trip and nice drone footage :-)

[@roocrew86]

great video mate. Man jeeps are terrible, def time to get rid of it

[@donleamon8653]

Ok, I'd rather deal with rattlesnakes and scorpions here in Arizona than crocs! Where does all that running water come from?

[@seanyc86]

Hey Don, if you google Kimberley Weather right now you'll see the cyclones and weather forecasts. That part of Australia gets some amazing amounts of water and only really has the wet and the dry seasons, not the usual four seasons. Having been to Arizona a couple of times, and experienced some of your storms, its a bit similar, the dry sandy stuff doesn't hold water very well and the rivers eat it all up. The tides in the Kimberley are some of the biggest in the world, google the Horizontal Falls!!

[@donleamon8653]

+ Sceanyc86, thanks for the info! I was just surpised as I didn't see anything that would generate that amount of water other than rain. Not like we have here with snowfall melt. And you're correct, our summer monsoons can get the washes, arroyos and dry creekbeds running *real* fast. Those tides that Ronny shot were impressive. Cholla Bay down in Rocky Point, Mexico is the largest surge I've seen, and it is nothing like that! Peace!

[@permaculturedandfree2448]

I take a small hand bag mig welder when we go off rd

[@khhoaiii]

Brian needs to buy a LC. His stupid jeep keeps on breaking down.
