TOUGH LESSONS LEARNT in Outback NSW | Busta Lime Shakedown Trip Episode 1 | DMW

[@danold6443]

Great to see the Dad Daughter dynamic. That little Jimny is a weapon. Long range tank a must. Many good family memories being built here. Go well.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thanks for watching! We're glad you enjoyed the video. And yes, the Jimny is definitely a capable little machine. Long-range tanks can be a great addition for extending those adventures even further. :)

[@renrogers78]

Bloody great episode of you and your kids, keep up the great work you do Ruben.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thanks for the kind words! It's always fantastic to hear positive feedback about our episodes. We'll keep working hard to bring you more great content. If you have any suggestions or ideas for future episodes, feel free to let us know!

[@jeffreybagg1556]

I love your relationship you have with your kids! Really special

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

They are! Thank you so much!

[@peterdoyle3205]

I think you will find that the 1st Australian Grand Prix was held at Phillip Island in the late 1920's.

[@slammnsam]

Father of the year Reubs, good on you mate

[@vaughanscott7308]

That jimny is siiiiiiiick!

[@mattwyeth3156]

I'm wondering if it's possible to incorporate something like the fridge slide that drops down for the jerry can on the back of the Suzuki to make it easier to reach

[@weirdo-p8z]

Good on ya mate for being a great Dad😊

[@alvincharlesworth5475]

You need a 12 volt Fuel Transfer Pump to save trying to lift out the 20 Lt Jerry cans.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Wouldn't that be nice, eh?! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@lukesorensen8457]

Love bustalime what a beast, serious question Ruben, what turns more heads a dmw chopped 200 series, or the chopped jimny?

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Each vehicle definitely has its own charm and advantages, but we believe Reuben's heart lies more with the LC200 series. After all, who wouldn't want to experience those "Reuben revs" in a beefy DMW chopped 200 cruiser? 🚗:)

[@michaelnugara1]

Really enjoyed watching the 3 of you having fun. Nice vid Thanks for sharing

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Our pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@hardlydavidson1937]

Awesome guys thanks. Always great to see you out n about with the family just doing it. It won't be long before the young fella is driving then you can all be out there giving it ago

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

The thought of everyone being out there together, exploring and experiencing new things, is definitely something to look forward to. Here's to many memorable journeys together! 🚗🌄

[@iansdetailing7236]

Pro seats they are do some unbelievable work

[@juliosantiago4915]

Wow the busta lime turned out great!!! Nice too see you enjoying your time with your kids. Can wait to see all the adventures that you going to have!!!

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Us too! Thanks for watching @juliosantiago4915

[@joshburke4083]

That 100 looked epic!! Definitely is my dream vehicle ATM (but yes do like my 80 series ATM) Certainly remember my time driving tractors near Mungindi back in 2021. Really wanted to go to Lighting Ridge but unfortunately Covid had other plans and forced me back home to New Zealand.

[@akashnag3879]

best way to bond with kids. had been waiting to see this jimny.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Sharing adventures and experiences with your kids is such a special way to bond and create lasting memories. We're grateful to be able to do this.

[@MD-np2me]

Awesome episode, Reuben, making memories with your kids great stuff

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much!

[@islasdad5775]

Probably best lesson for anyone driving a new car, brand new, 2nd hand, 4x4 or not what you're range is at 0. $15 and 20l of fuel is a proper lesson. 👌

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Absolutely! Running out of fuel is a tough lesson to learn, but it's a valuable one. It's always a good idea to keep an eye on your fuel gauge and plan your refueling stops accordingly. A small investment in fuel can save you a lot of hassle and inconvenience in the long run. Thanks for watching!

[@christopher54179]

A star in the making.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Yes!!!

[@ianweal3081]

Ruben, I'm so curious as to why you placed the fuel filler and what appears to be water filler soo high up on the canopy. Obviously its still utilising the standard fuel tank, chassis mounted, why soo high? If it was lower, you'd be able to gravity feed fuel from jerry cans in, saving Hanna any heavy lifting for transfer/refueling. In my time, even I found that initially holding a full 20L jerry can up to a standard hieght car fill point difficult enough, soo good as the load lightened during transfer. My wife would have zero chance of doing it. I cheat now days, 10L are so much lighter, haha.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

It's a developing project, it could still change. Who knows what Hannah's planning for Busta. ;) But all great idea mate. Cheers!

[@gavinramsay539]

Back in 2019, we drove through the base of the Copeton dam. Had a great time looking around and even seen the dam wall at ground level. It was a day of mixed emotions. Driving something we probably won't be able to do again. But at the same time, the water levels were at less than 5% 😢.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Exploring the Copeton Dam sounds like quite an adventure, It must have been a memorable experience to see the dam wall up close like that.

[@gavinramsay539]

Give me a day or two, and I'll find some footage.

[@bamafencer12]

Great episode!!! Keep it up legend!

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thank you @bamafencer12 . Stay tuned for more!

[@blakerodwell]

One of my favourite episodes guys.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thanks @blakerodwell

[@jameswilkins7757]

Def needs bigger tank

[@henrykivimaki7376]

Love the family dynamic !!❤ ( ...A south African guy with a new Suzuki...had it turbocharged... just a thought. 😉) Keep up the great content.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

We will! Thank you for your support @henrykivimaki7376

[@dalzielltravis6]

Sounds like the Lil Jimmy needs a tune to help with gear hunt and 👍 on needing a bigger tank

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Absolutely! A tune could definitely help with the gear hunting issue. And a larger fuel tank would be a game-changer for extending those off-road adventures without worrying about fuel range.

[@marita486]

Love the bond you have with yr kids Ruben. And was that a GWM Cannon with you?

[@brianboys9015]

Love the family show style

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thanks a bunch! We love bringing our family adventures to you all. It's all about the fun and camaraderie out there on the road, and we're glad you enjoy watching. Stay tuned for more family fun! 🚙🌟

[@The_zook_shed]

Another cracking episode guys, definitely look into transfer gears will help with the jimny holding 4th and bring the fuel economy back down 👌

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thanks for the suggestion! We'll look into these transfer gears for the Jimny. If you have any other ideas, feel free to share them with us here.

[@The_zook_shed]

@dmw4x4 tbh the jimny is set up awesome (I'd be stoked to have that on my P's) if anything longranger tank and an auto trans cooler (these autos do not like heat at all)

[@andreweagle2782]

Awesome job with the kids mate. Unsure if you did it to the Jimmy or not but it seems like it need some of that sound stuff on the floors. It's very loud for a little car.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Great idea! Thanks mate!

[@Dryden-ii2uo]

Saw you guys a few days ago near Albany on a camp site very nice looking rig

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Say hi next time, mate. :) Thank you!

[@derekeasterbrook6791]

Hi Reuben, it's a great video with you and your daughter. I'm interested in the roof console. Did you make it or was it off the shelf. I'm after something simple for my 2006 Hilux. Cheers.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Please feel free to call DMW for enquiries. Our sales team would be able to sort it out for you. Cheers!

[@jo_clarke1960]

Love the fun family dynamic, enjoy being able to get the better of them while you still can, my lot are a older and love to turn the tide on me. Think Buster needs more power, the way it was constantly searching for a gear or an engine swap. Being of the vertically challenged club Ruben, you may need to rethink the rear design for the jerry holders and spare wheel, because your girl is your height and having trouble, you don't want her to do herself an injury when the time comes she goes off on herself. Some years of travel experience gone into putting that 100 series together, cracking vehicle. Great vid, keep the fun comming, all the best from UK 👍

[@aerynlovell4754]

When I saw her struggling to get the Jerry can up there, I thought Reuben would either need to design a track to lower the rack with a manual hand cranked winch or a step of some kind. Maybe something like a fold out aluminum work platform.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thanks for the feedback! It's always fun to see the family in action, isn't it? And you make a good point about Busta needing a bit more power and considering the design for accessibility for Hannah's height. Thus the importance of a long range fuel tank. Glad you enjoyed the video, and sending best wishes from down under to the UK!

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Love that!

[@jo_clarke1960]

@@dirtymuddyweekends It's not just the jerry's I was thinking about but the spare too, they ain't exactly light, even without air in them when putting them back 👍

[@aerynlovell4754]

@jo_clarke1960 I saw a show where 3 men were struggling to put a spare on the back of a lifted Jeep. Back in the old days, tires were skinny, smaller diameter, and much lighter than modern tires.

[@marielachristian8666]

Woop woop send it

[@jeremyharris4415]

Awesome video Reuben really enjoyed it mate . Some days you are really making me think of trying to move back to Brisbane and try and sort things out so I can have a relationship with my kids they have not been in my life for 4 years now jue from ex wife drama etc . I’m so looking forward to seeing you and your kids on the next episode

[@gettingschooled3094]

It's called parental alienation. Women do that stuff.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thanks for watching and for your kind words. I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing with your family situation. Family dynamics can be incredibly complex, and it's understandable that you're feeling torn and longing to reconnect with your kids. I do hope that you find a way to navigate through the difficulties and ultimately rebuild those relationships with your children. In the meantime, I'm glad that our videos can provide a bit of enjoyment and distraction for you. Hang in there, and we hope things start looking up for you soon. Cheers!

[@bennylamera2559]

The LongRanger 85L was the very first mod I did to mine

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Wise move. Thanks mate!

[@WDMTAdventures]

Old mate Chris didn't mention if his rig has a GVM upgrade 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@mozkotze6415]

Fuel filler is too high, how is Hannah going to manage when she eventually gets out on her own 😂😂😂

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Haha, good point! but Hannah's ingenuity knows no bounds; she'll probably engineer a clever solution herself! ;)

[@bigles4545]

Go the snot ball you can do it 😂😂

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

😂😂😂

[@Nicko_92]

My dad recently got a Suzuki ignis it uses 4L per 100k lol

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

That's impressive fuel efficiency!

[@fatmanoverlanding]

👍

[@SonamDorji-gg1ph]

You look like Wayne Rooney

[@neilodonnell4072]

Nice

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thanks!
