Thanks for the memories. I used to be the local police officer at Bamaga many moons ago (last century) .. I used to drive the Toyota troopy each month on a patrol down to Nolans and back.. & we used to drive across the Jardine. Lots of fun places up the top to visit... I love your vids, makes me want to drive up there for a visit 👍

Just open the back of the alternator and clean out the brushes. Easy enough to do , and given that you were parked up for a couple of days would have saved you running your natteries down. It's also a lot cheaper than 450 dollars. I've lost count of how many times I've done it.

Great how everyone pitches in. The alternator position on Prados is diabolical for water.

Hi guys - love watching you all on your trip. We're in NZ and torn between a Vacationer or an urban X-Terrain. Won't be doing rough as you guys but what do you think after being on a trip with both on the team? The Urban is winning in my head but worry about the extra little bit of weight - wadya reckon?

Hey Rob! We are a very biased! We love our urban, we know there service and warranty and I think it’s impossible to beat! We are very very happy to promote them because we honestly think they are the best!

I remember reading years ago, that if you have to cross water that's up past your door sills, that you should close all the windows, and put the aircon on recirculation, and put the fan on full speed. The theory being that you'll create positive air pressure inside the vehicle, and make it harder for the water to push past the seals. No idea if it would work, but it sounds like it makes sense. What do you reckon?

mate I reckon your onto something! to be completely fair though when you get to a deep one the adrenaline and "pooping yourself" factor is too strong to think logically haha I would never have thought to try or do this! I will next time and in theory it would work to a degree.. I think water pressure will be far higher than the positive pressure it would take to keep say dust out. ill give it a crack next crossing we do! cheers mate

Sorry you two but after following your travels since you first started on youtube I have to say that once you hooked up with others in this Cape trip I think you tried to be too Gung Ho. I believe that you may have had fun but you have portrayed yourself as a bit irresponsible and immature. As I said, sorry, but that's how myself along with a few of my mates that also follow you think, to the stage where if this is what we are going to see in future, we may not be follower's in future .

Hi Norm, for the benefit of the others of us that follow these guys can you tell us what you mean by too “gung ho” so we can all learn what to do. We’re they under prepared, not careful enough etc.
