Sooty's first trip goes WRONG! Disaster in Tassie: Overnight engine swap, breakages & panel damage!

One vehicle down, and then another?! Tassie’s tough Mount Cumberland and Ring River tracks kicked our butts! This is one we won’t be forgetting anytime soon… stunning campsites in Tasmania, epic wheeling in the mud & then things take a turn for the worst.

Adding Jessie to the crew has really bumped the channel back up. This episode really reminds me of the oldschool 4wd action videos that got me into this channel and having Pete along for the drive is even better.

honestly a 24hr engine swap isnt that hard with the donks handy. have done dozens in ~7-8hrs by myself. but adding in the time to get the engine removed and delivered from hobart is pretty damn good. itd be at least 5-6hrs in that alone. well done to them.

Super unfortunate shauno! All that hard work and money and time. Big end bearings are known problems in early 1HDTs hopefully it's not that. It just shows you can get a rebuild done anywhere by anyone professional but nothing will be as safe and reliable as Japanese engineering in the 90s putting together the original motor. Seems very dramatic and unnecessary IMO to do a temporary engine swap while in Tassie just to try drive the tracks for a week to show us viewers some content....Especially after all the hard work to get the rebuilt engine done this year in the first place. You're just going to have to take out the donor engine you just put in to put yours back in again. Dedicated! All the best with it mate. Cant wait until she's purring again
