I agree. We have some of the best wheeling in the world where technical difficulty is concerned, but we don’t have the long distance “tracks” like the Aussies. Hope I can get there someday, but that’s a long, expensive jaunt for po folks.

Great to see you guys engage with another Simpson trip. We had a great adventure in August taking four Mokes from Mt Dare, down the Rig, up the K1 and into Poeppels, then North to exit at Jervois via the Hay River Track. All that on 120 litres capacity with fuel to spare at the end. Mokes rule 2WD 52/12 !

Graham mate, the G60 patrol all day every day. All I’ve ever known is Nissans and also the odd recovery (for my sisters Toyota when she had one) I also own a nice 1994 GQ which still purrs like a kitten. Love 4WD24/7 videos and the adventures you guys do! Keep on creating great memories for decades to come.

[@seancraven2361]

As a real remote living Australian, I will have some word's for these guy's, mostly love their content, but I live there sometimes and it's just BS and destructive to our tracks for views. If I come across them I'll have a beer with them and let them know how the local guy's feel about their activities.

[@RepLicanT00100]

@@seancraven2361 .. interesting way to look at it all. Let’s not forget the other side of what these views and contents push’s too. Big advocates for CLEANING UP after the REAL terrors of the tracks. But I understand how someone would feel this way. But how far down the rabbit hole does one go and start thinking, finger pointing etc; at all the things that “ruin” our beautiful country ? Interesting discussion to have I think.

Cool video, good to see some old trucks showing these newer trucks how it was done. And Graham, go to G60, learnt to drive in one, and they have a soft spot in the transfer case for me.

Very cool journey. And it really shows the difference in overlanding vs offroading.

[@Kaozau]

great video. i'd go a G60 any day. grew up with Dad's G60 and it was a bullet (350chev) :-) and as Graham showed it pulled out its fair share of toyota's and land rovers in its time

[@aaroncody530]

G60 for me. My old man had one when I was a kid. He used to have a private rubbish disposal business called Mr Neat. The G60 towed the trailer he used for years and years. It was custom made and would have weighed well over 5 tons fully loaded which it usually was. That thing would go up Plenty River Drive in Greensborough in 1st gear at about 5ks an hour, but up it would go, without fail. The definition of unkillable.

Travelling Oz and fiming on super 8, was my fathers passion. He owned a G60, and dropped a chrysler motor in it. From 1967 to 1985 she kept rolling, then he passed it down onto my youngest brother. Not sure where she is now, prob sitting in his shed, or a field.

Thank you for sharing your adventures! If you find yourself questioning if your meats ok again, give it a quick soak with some vinegar, whiskey or whatever similar you have. This trick works wonders, but is only effective for meat that is suspect, not meat that is obviously bad. Cheers from Wyoming.

43:05 I like how they've colour coded it to the colour of various stages of dried blood? So when your hands are bloody you cant find what page you're looking for?

[@annettemay5743]

So correct me if I'm wrong Graham, the G60 lead them over the simo and back. But not only that you pulled the nearly 10 years younger cafe latte over the sand dune? The 3.olt Gu pullrd the V8 cruiser over the dune also ? and to top it off you also pulled both Toyo's over together, what a shame you couldn't see the snatch strap pulled that deep into the red dirt. lol.

Great video, I am from eastern Canada and the terrain is so much different, that big dune ate up the Toyota's, made for some good fun with friends. The Jeep and Toyota guys are always teasing each other over here too. I have had Jeeps, Toyota's, Fords, Jeeps, all good stuff and lots of fun when you get to tug your buddy out. Would love to get over there some day and have a go around the trails over there, it would be awesome to take my Jeep Gladiator Rubicon over and try it out on the trails.

You also did good for having street tires on your vehicles instead of proper off-road tires. Great video, you bloakes keep up the good content.
