SHAKEDOWN FROM HELL!! EXTENDED EPISODE - PUSHING our GEAR to the LIMITS

[@shanenorwell8580]

You guys are literally the only traveling family I watch. There’s no drama, no bullshit, no sponsored junk just good, clean, wholesome family fun. Well done guys.

[@carlossouza7005]

Concordo plenamente com suas palavras 🤠👍🏽👍🏽🇧🇷❣️

[@andrewt3952]

No offense, but ya cracked me up when u said, “let’s go camping”. With that setup, ur basically a mobile suburb!

[@LVNITUPM8]

Different strokes for different folks, we all have a different outlook on life and meaning to things.

[@richardchambers3093]

Hahahaha,ya we have a 37 foot 5th wheel trailer,it’s not really camping,I call it condo-ing,with a fire.

[@andrewt3952]

I wasn’t taking the piss. It’s an awesome setup, no question. N yes, different strokes for different folks for sure.👍🍻🎯🇦🇺

[@effkay3691]

@@andrewt3952You’ve got to be careful on these channels. People turn into religious zealots when it comes to any criticism regarding their beloved content makers. They’ll go you in no time. For what it’s worth you can’t see the best of Australia with such a big rig gorgeous as it is. Too tall, too high. You can’t cross the Simpson

[@wallywombat164]

Because of circumstances, i watch a LOT of KZbin. I must say Carties, that you are WAY WAY up there with the nicest and lovliest families on the channel. Thank yoa ALL. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@dropbear6740]

As a parent of 6, grandparent of 9, the best thing watching your videos is the love you show for each other and the little ones, and the way you both let your little boys be little boys, don't change a thing and just continue to love life, remember family comes first and your babies are only babies for a short time, travel safe

[@nerdgarage]

Eavie (sp?) is the best big sister the boys and now Aurora could ask for. She seems far more mature than girls her age here in the US, even my own grand neices who are her age and a few years older.

[@johntrueblue]

Out of all the subs i watch, your family and adventures are just pure delight to watch every time they are uploaded. When you was thanking the views for their comments on Aurora's born ect that caused me to tear up. I can just feel the love you bring to your videos even in hard times. You have a beautiful family. Cheers. John.

[@filinili]

You guys are absolutely awesome! The way you all carry through challenge after challenge whilst holding it together as a family is beautiful to watch and inspirational. I was diagnosed stage 4 SCLC back in Feb, im 29 and not a smoker. Your videos have not only helped me through tough times but also gives me something to be inspired to later in life god willing.. keep pushing the boundaries and may god continue to bless and protect you all ❤

[@philg2468]

We also had 4 kids and did our outback touring in the 1980's and 1990's in a 47 series Troopcarrier towing a trailer with heaps of jerry cans, food and everything else. Had our own little dramas mixed in with some awesome experiences that our now 40+ year old kids remember like it was yesterday. We just admire 100% what you do. You push the limits and when the sh.......t hits the fan you take it on the chin and get on with life. Full respect and thankyou for what you do.

[@sandt4115]

Jackson you are one of the best knowledgable persons to R&D the caravan, great video.

[@wallywombat164]

Hahaha. The little bloke was listening. Lucky he wasn't listenin to Dad earlier in the piece. Hahaha. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@davidgillard4995]

You may not know what we look like but we are your friends. I love seeing your travels and the interactions between your family is beautiful. I love you guys and look forward to every post you put up. Freedom is precious.

[@Invertmini1212]

Unreal set up... You Aussies know how to make some great overland rigs and trailers. The US needs to step it up 😅

[@BobvanT]

I just bow my head in respect for what you and the missus have achieved in your young lives ! I think you set a very fine example on what love, passion, togetherness , family life and liberty is all about - respect for you all !

[@blackpointer-oi9pg]

Set the kids up for failure they may struggle in a team environment and perform a job in normal conditions for most and may not achieve resilience and this that this type of life is normal.

[@liznedic1548]

You are the most wholesome family. We love what a great dad you are to Evie. She is your ‘right hand girl’ . Mum you are an absolute trouper. The kids can be kids. Get dirty, explore and experience. What more is there. Such a wonderful family. Be proud of being you. You are both amazing parents with the best kids. Evie, you can do anything you want to in the future. But what a great big sister you are to the little ones. What a life you are giving them. Best wishes and really hope we pass on the road soon. We will say hi.

[@craigwhite1489]

You’re such a beautiful family with such finesse and impeccable qualities.. Your sense of adventure and family love keeps me watching.

[@johntelford9862]

and thats the way to be, when posting, do it when it suits you. so many times have i seen new youtubers starting up and they post now and then but as soon as youtube becomes their sole income it starts to consume their life and its youtube this youtube that, then its the merch, then its panicking because they havent put a vid out that week. DONT let youtube take over your life. people watch you because they enjoy watching you, not because you post a vid every 5 minutes.

[@NUTTER8291]

100% AGREED !! 👍

[@andrewpope9612]

Have you considered a diesel hot water system like webasto or eberspacher. Minimal electricity used and very efficient on the diesel. Many variations it can be set up such the use of tanks, as a room heater or engine heater.

[@gavindereus3643]

I love the fact that you are having the time of your lives with such a young family in tow, I wanted to do something similar but my wife said no as our eldest was about to start high school and has now graduated from university with an Architecture degree and the daughter is doing her second year of her nursing degree

[@birolcelik7502]

Again, everything feels like a documentary. The shots are great. The big family is at work 🧿

[@wallywombat164]

It's always terrific to see ya all. Good onya Carties. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@joec4871]

You're welcome. I was hooked when the first time I watched your video and you were by the water and dad said "who wants to go for a swim" and one of the boys said "no there's crocs in there". That was so funny. Beautiful family. Travel safe from your friends in New York. Thanks for taking us along.

[@Tuppi1290]

Things going wrong aren't great, however they make a trip into an adventure and give stories to tell. Keep up the good work

[@cparker7431]

Everything in life, whether we like it or not, is perfect timing. You weren't out of town, the police got you were you want, everyone is safe. Dont beat yourself up Jackson, but listen to your intuition, gut feeling, its always right. Love your videos and beautiful family and all your adventures!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@billschneider1893]

This is the first time I've watched your videos. I am most impressed with the photography. I love your family participation. Lots of love is do evident. Keep it up.

[@saktre1]

Another great video, I have truly missed your weekly videos. Best & funniest ending ever, I giggled a few times through this vid but the ending gave me a good old belly laugh 😂

[@NUTTER8291]

Your sincere and heart warming thanks to all your viewers was the most beautiful thing I've heard ❤️ ♥️ 💕

[@jasonsmith-cu1xg]

Such a beautiful family, love watching your lives unfold. I think your setup is extremely good and well thought out, maybe the diesel hot water and heating might be a better way to go.

[@libbywilson3064]

Im a recent viewer... 2 weeks. Have watched all the posts. Well done. We are just about to retire and do the caravaning around our wonderful country. I just don't see me doing the off road things... as much as you make it fun. Not my life. Congrats on the addition to your family... Such a cutie... like the others.😊

[@sezandflicka]

Love this video! Makes us so happy seeing people enjoying our home town 🥹 These long videos are the best, we can’t wait to watch everytime ❤

[@nixinoz]

Oh wow!! We’ve just found you lot sitting here in Ireland. What an amazing family, your videos are amazing and so natural. You are all a credit to humanity.❤☘️

[@lesleyevans4583]

Don't knock yourself so much, it happens to many people who camp or travel, we should have done this! Or that, but you know what, it is what it is. Your a resilient family and you will get through. Learning and not making the same mistake, we all do it in life. So nice to you back on the road, I'm in Durban south africa and so enjoy your shows, I think your children are growing up as children should, what a fabulous life, yes not always perfect, but then life's not perfect. Love your princables in life, looking forward to seeing you guys more ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@frompooltopoolefishing6716]

Try see it as the belt broke now to remind you to get a spare before you travel afar. Dont beat yourself up. Hope you get your ups from now ❤ Love watching you guys.

[@patrickconnolly2421]

I really enjoy your family's adventures and congratulations on the new edition to your family. I am recovering from a catastrophic stroke and a TBI that I suffered in June of 2022, your lifestyle has me thinking about traveling and I would eventually to visit Australia because I have always lived in and have traveled.

[@SUPERTRUCKER166]

FYI the eyelet bolts on the bullbar aren’t rated for towing, they are designed to allow the bullbar to be tilted forward. The atw bars don’t have any rated tow points. And you have likely damaged the transmission as well if you didn’t pull the tail shaft or diff centres, the Isuzu AMT’s Oil pump runs off the input shaft so towing it without the motor on means no lubrication.

[@effkay3691]

Well if you watch the next episode then you obviously know your stuff

[@vallaryamato-oq9tk]

Y'all do a great job not letting kids know your upset/stressed as you said can't do nothing but wait n get it fixed your an amazing father n hey it's father's day today so🎉🎉🎉 HAPPY FATHER'S DAY.

[@shanethackeray1988]

Bugger! All vehicle manufacturers dump your warranty when anything is altered or modified, they like to keep things in their engineered safety zones as per manufacturing standards. Even exhaust systems void your warranty, I found that out with my 79 series. I’m travelling in an NPS 300 atm and have deliberately avoided modifying anything apart from suspension because of the stresses of offroading and load capacity.

[@chrisstokes5113]

My last employer. was one of the largest Heavy vehicle manufacturers. I was a warranty administrator. They justify there decisions on it was not designed to do that. When you make any changes. This is a very unfair position for manufacturers to take. And in most cases just a money saving decision

[@OnlyGoodDaysCo]

They have to prove the modifications caused whatever the failure was. Consumer law protects people from these blanket “no warranty”

[@shanethackeray1988]

@@chrisstokes5113 when I owned my 79 series I had the exhaust changed to a 3 inch twin system by a reputable installer, A very good friend of mine who is the service manager of a large Toyota dealer advised me that any warranty was void once I had that work done, regardless of what warranty issue it was….friggin criminal, thankfully being a Toyota nothing ever came up in the 9 years I had it. You are 100% correct when you say it’s a money saving exercise by manufacturers, although I have to say some of the mods ( tune ups etc etc ) do add extra stresses to engine parts. If you want to play then you might have to pay.

[@qmp666]

Would you share the Motor rebuild costs please. I am looking at the NPS. a heads up would be great. Love ya channel

[@soloplus2]

when you showed your van first, I wondered about the door in your shower... but now I totally get it. You are genius. so handy with dirty little explorers .... 😂

We love you guys if we ever get to Australia I want to shake your hands. Love the family God Bless and safe travels!!!!!!

[@JonoPaynter-l2v]

Hi from New Zealand. It has defiantly been a fun busy frustrating expensive time for you. It is good that you are sorting out the problems in Victoria than in the middle of Western Australia. You are a great real family and is good to see your videos of your travels. The next truck you get might have to be a army Unimog truck to keep up with the hard tracks. The caravan is great. Keep up the great shows. Thanks Jono P

[@jimbeis5375]

Hay I love your family you are always on the go and the two boys are all boys so much energy and your oldest daughter is amazing help good luck with your future adventures and take care I’m from a small town in south east Mo in the states

Such an amazing family. Your kids will grow up to be wonderful adults with so much real life parenting. Marty from Perth

I’m so glad it was only a fan belt ,,it’s all part of the adventure,,happy days 👍

[@delcassie1337]

Welcome back guys. Some shake down team. Love watching your video's, no fake stuff to try to get views here. One big happy family doing what the rest of the world (or certainly most of us) would love to do. Jackson I bet you were kicking yourself and swearing like a trooper at the belt break, especially as you told the fella back at the start you needed to take a spare lol. Don't beat yourself about it mate, with the family to control and look after , you already have a load on your plate. Just make sure you have a spare or 2 for the next trip. Happy travels to you and the family and looking forward to your next instalment.

[@melissaloubser4260]

Bright is one of Vics most beautiful spots, Gippsland where I live is also a great spot.

[@NUTTER8291]

Hey jealous pommy here !! ..... Hey guys life is FULL of ups and downds ... so DONT beat yay up to much !! And im betting you WONT forget a spare belt again !! That curried mince you did was very similar to what i do ! But instead of flour i just let it reduce ( not so easy with hungry monsters around lol ) Try adding adding " garam masala " to give it a real curry kick And instead of bread try warm pitterbread pockets

[@troycrawford8916]

You also make dreams. You Guys are awesome and an inspiration for all of us to get out there and just do it!!

[@wendyhoward472]

New subscriber QLD . What a beautiful family and great set up. So happy you can live your dream while you are young and what a great experience for the children. Your set up is incredible. Only watched 3 so far. So nice to see Australia from my armchair through your amazing photography skills. Always dreamed of travelling around Aus but it didnt happen for me. So glad algorithms placed you on my feed. Safe travels look forward to more adventures ❤️ your children are gorgeous. You must be so proud of your beautiful eldest daughter she is a gem. ❤️

Thankyou so much that was a great episode, so real I found mysrlf saying OUCH when you sat on the cactus! I just love how real you all are, yiu dont just show us the good bits but the downers as well. Thanjs also for the technical bits at the beginning - even though this elderly lady didn't quite understand it all. You make a difference to my life as I cant travel any more so have to rely on people like you to show me the world. Thanks so much. Lots of love and best wishes from across the Tasman.

[@valeriebridge7305]

P.S. If you run out of dirt roads in Australia, we still have plenty in New Zealand.

[@whatyabloodyonabout]

Not sure if you have one, but it might be worth getting some redarc gauges or an ultragauge that way you can set alarms up for EGT/water temp ect.

[@tonytrumble]

That suspension on the caravan is a game changer! I'm sure they even have body leveling suspension that can do the same thing. As for your engine troubles that's a painfully expensive pill to swallow. As for Isuzu voiding the warranty because you tuned the engine is just wrong of them. There's tuning companies out there that take up the difference where car manufacturers cut you off.

[@ianpotter1253]

Folks, Love your content, no matter how much prepared you are there will be something out of your control.

Never a happy day when something so significant happens to your vehicle. I'm not surprised at all that Isuzu didn't investigate further and they're quite quick to pass the buck and take zero responsibility even if your vehicle has no mods. Just google bump steer issue Isuzu Dmax. On a more positive note, loving the episodes! Keep on keeping on.

As Dad was saying about being emotional with the baby girl I also get emotional as being the first time grandad in my daughter age 30 just had her first baby boy and I still get emotional but I couldn't be any more happier and proudest grandad

[@LesNewell]

Having designed and built my own air suspension systems for a few different off road vehicles I guess they are using a standard automotive air suspension valve block on the caravan. The problem with those valve blocks is that they can't simultaneously raise one side and lower the other. When you want to roll the van it has to lift one side a bit then drop the other a bit, resulting in that pulsing effect. You can increase how much it moves on each pulse but it gets more and more difficult to maintain control over the ride height. The problem is that the air bags interact with each other. Raising one side also raises the other a bit and vice versa. When you start making big moves that interaction becomes very hard to control. The only real solution is a custom valve block that has fully independent control over each bag. I have been working on a design for such a block but it's on the back burner at the moment while I build my latest truck.

[@chrissolomon8868]

Life on the road will always throw curve balls at you, mechanical stuff will always be quietly conspiring to let you down no matter how much you look after it, but after seeing the way you guys handle it all I'm confident that NOTHING will stop you guys for long. Your attitudes, your hilarious kids & your obvious energy will get you through the rough stuff. Stick together, tightly as a family & you've got this, that & whatever else the road throws at you covered. Full power to you guys.
