Man if you ever come to Australia to do it, I'll do it with ya

[@jasonmanley5287]

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 !

Honestly - I can’t remember the last time a show/series/channel that has me “itching” for each and every new episode . Hopefully one day we cross paths in the bush somewhere in the near future and hopefully get to shake the hands of some Aussie legends ! 🤝🏻

[@4WD247]

Cheers mate, appreciate the support!

[@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.

[@The_GQ_Enthusiast]

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.

[@Allan1356]

Not long finished a trip across the Simpson in a 30 year old GQ Patrol. Had a ball and your video brought back the memories. Thanks guys 👍

[@Land_Raver]

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

[@edgreen5098]

I'm from the UK we don't have any wide expanses like this. Totally blows my mind!

[@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

[@UNCLECLINTs4x4]

G60 every day. Even though I am a Cruiser driver, my first 4wd was a G60. Great episode guys

What an excellent series this was. You can see by the faces of everyone how much they were enjoying it. You Aussies really have created a channel second to none! The only thing you need is a Saffer to tell you that the meat always tastes better if it's a good few days past the use by date. 😂

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.

As long as the meat was cold. 7days over date is no problem cryvaced pack. That dish looked awesome. I left tbones in my fridge before one of my trips. 10days later when i got home straight on the bbq. Best meat ever.

[@darrenashley126]

I was looking at the flies and it reminded me of when I was halfway between Port Augusta and Whyalla when my alternator belt let go, the flies were incredible changing it out, but I didn't see the dead Roo 50mts over the hill but the old L series Subaru did a good job on a 2500k trip with my mate and fully loaded.

[@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.

[@garyjohnson5521]

Absolutely loved the trip boys. I havent done the Simpson but have done Strzelecki, Birdsville & Oodnadatta tracks. Loved the adventures.

This trip is the best one ever on 4wd247. Well done everyone, and what an epic journey. Seano needs to put some other wheels on that 40 series so he can go tubeless, 33x10.5r15 maybe. The farm truck would have made light work of those dunes too!

My wife and I really enjoyed that one could not stop laughing at Graham and Shawo and really good seeing those old trucks walking through the sand dunes,

[@aarondavis673]

As much as the 47 looks cool being period correct and all, it might be worth putting a set of sunraysias on for the sand given how they can't be let down to those ultra low pressures. That and I couldn't imagine changing tubes in that heat with how often they tend to get flats, it's a lot of work and dangerous. Could always go for skinny white sunnies to stay period correct too 😁

[@Bridgyboy]

Love these longer episodes gents. Keep em coming, the longer the better I say...

[@ethangrover5382]

Thank you for bringing up first aid supplies! 2 pieces you guys need to carry is an AED and tourniquets. Anyone could have an event that causes cardiac arrest and without an AED they will die out in the bush. Know your CPR it could save a life.

[@michaelmacdonald7342]

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.

[@anthonykaramanis4401]

Your a big inspiration on me keep up the work boys and great job for the old cars that made it and the camera boys hope it was funner than it looked

[@rowangleeson8244]

G60 did that crossing succesfuly first way back a lot of years ago after Toyota tried, so I'd take the G60. Cool to see the old rims put there though.

[@shredfest30]

So much fun watching you legends have so much fun.. Cheers to another fantastic episode.

[@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. Go the G60 (farm truck)

[@eddiejbaron]

[@smartalec65]

Love the G60, such a cool rig it stands out in the sea of Toyota's

[@johngifford7725]

This overlanding stuff is far more appealing to me than the rock crawling stuff.

[@paultkalec7022]

I’d choose the farm truck, even though I’ve driven Nissans for years. My old man bought one just like it when I was a kid and I used to love that glove box! Heck, I loved the footwell vents too, especially during water crossings 😂
