Discovering LOST tracks! Sundown National 4x4 Park, Queensland

[@jeremyguerin4204]

That gorge shot and the music was spot on!

[@mojo827]

Great vid, I grew up 4WDing in Sundown, that first dry creek trail we opened in the late 80's and where you camped is the back of Rats Castle and I've seen a foot deep of water flowing through there! Can't wait to go back.

[@craigtownsend3149]

That track was opened before you in the 80s good sir the welsh brothers made that track in the early 1940s with horses.. you are indeed correct that it is on top of rats only a short drive down from Mick's Hill the end hill there is a tree marked buy 1 side delimd it's Mt track to my brothers final resting place.. my great great grandfather and his brothers owned a lot of the land before it was sundown and was all mingoola nundub station

[@mojo827]

@@craigtownsend3149 Great piece of history, thankyou for the info... I should have been more specific sorry, we did not build this track. We were hiking through here and found the track, we came back and opened it up so we could drive it point to point... was overgrown and trees down in sections and no obvious track from the river end. Did you ever know of the track that went full north to the south of the park? This is another track that intrigued me, we had permission from the ranger at the time to explore it but couldn't really find any information about it and its alignment. This was over 20yrs ago now... definitely a missed opportunity.

[@craigtownsend3149]

I have Indeed herd of it if also been part of a group who have travelled this track brings you out near teaxas end of sundown.. you go down to the hell hole then kind of follow the creek down towards the old turtle hole then from memory we went right instead of to the waterhole and we just followed the river Thu

[@mikemorgan4670]

Awesome video Dude, blew away my expectations! Great rigs and hectic tracks, especially the dry creek bed. The Patrol was a beast, you really sent it a few times. TJ's Nav was exceptionally capable as well. Thanks for the content. Great work!

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@TJANDMAC]

Coupla clowns in the Bush haha

[@onedayatatime4232]

Love how you guys are going over tracks we were doing over 30 years ago...😂...still an awesome place .

[@lukesamuels974]

Curious, were you ever able to drive from Burrows right down to the bottom of the park (main campground) via the River? I fish it a fair bit and have noticed a track most of the way

[@sirkitchalott]

One of your best episodes to date! Ty!

[@karloz83]

Great video. It’s good to see that you take the tracks not used so much to explore more and see different parts to the park that most people wouldn’t even see. Keep up the great work. It’s good to see the parks let you 4wd in them and the awesome tracks that they offer. The great campsites and amazing scenery. Well done

[@karloz83]

@@GaryTischer Oh Bugga that’s very unlucky and it’s hard to tell but it’s been driven a bit and I would have taken it on thinking it was a harder track people don’t use as often but it has been driven a bit before so I’m right to head on it.

[@GETNROUND]

Checked out this park in January and completed almost every track in 3 days (fully loaded touring set up) and it's by far one of my favourite parks in qld so far👌. Will definitely be back in the future.

[@wasbruce]

Ahh, another Sunday morning another TT vid. Life Is good.

[@rhyscomrie3500]

💪👍 awesome vidio Tyler Patrol and nav smashing it up Keen to get down that way and explore the national parks.

[@HammerRocks]

Nice one Tyler.👍 I love exploring 4WD tracks (tho less gnarly to what you drive on), and finding hidden gems (like that swimming hole) is always a great treat. Another excellent reason to have a 4WD and use it.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate 👍

[@anthonyabela2328]

haha love the little mans responses!!

[@benwilmot8485]

Hey great video of sundown. I grew up in this area and that was our play pen for 4wding. So the tracks do have names. The first big hill the one TJ winched is call 'The Shoot'. Where you camped the second night was at 'Rats Castle'. Then you climb the hill track called 'Pine tree track'. Then the gnarly crossing is called 'Rats Crossing'.

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate, thanks for the info!

[@Fernweh4x4andadventure]

Awesome trip mate, awesome views too. 46:54 I think that’s vomit, reminds me of the Ayres rock trip I did with my bro, and half way up there were a couple of cereal 🥣 spews haha 😂 .

[@TylerThompson90]

Glad you enjoyed it mate

[@paulgriffiths7399]

Epic video. Well done for going off the beaten track that's what it's all about. Had all your camps to yourselves and some tough tracks too. Epic! The way TJs canopy flexes and shakes when he is doing obstacles seems a little worrying tho lol hope it's meant to be like that.

[@einfelder8262]

It's definitely NOT meant to be like that - the chassis on that vehicle will crack and break, a very common feature of dual cabs with huge weight behind the axle.

[@TylerThompson90]

Glad you enjoyed it mate

[@jase6827]

TJ's Tray and Canopy moving in the Intro ...EEEEK the chassis as well

[@samuelsundin]

Great seeing you using the flint. Reminds me to practice using it more often. It’s a cheap and simple backup accessory to keep in your gear, you never know when you’ll be glad you have it.

[@craigabbott1953]

Another great video Tyler River crossings looked awsome

[@adventureunlimited]

What a destination! Definitely adding this one to the list.

[@Wolf4wdadventures.576]

Have awesome memories of Sundown... Was there early 2000. Very rocky. Great camping along the river. Red Rock gorge is stunning. Nice video of you trip, can't wait to get there again.👍

Glad you enjoyed it mate

[@71Surfie]

Wow, what an awesome video. The patrol is very capable, you make it look easy

[@tonyf7997]

Great episode and lovely NP! TJ - go to Carbon and you will buy one off the shelf. I got a 12000lb and installed last month but not used yet- cannot wait!

[@unproadventures4142]

Fantastic video Tyler really enjoyed watching it looking forward to watching your next video mate take care

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks 👍

[@klappers1]

looks like a mint trip! The big GU is looking awesome! I don't think you can beat a solid axle front and rear. as for the jerky throttle, snow mode! It does exactly what you want for those tracks.

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate!

[@dolguldur4706]

[@brockpakis7731]

I use the "snow mode" button that's beside the gear shifter in my 48, cuts the throttle response by about half. It's really good on the technical stuff just a FYI 🤙 love the patrol content mate keep it up!

[@brentmcd12]

haha heaps funny watching u reverse up the hill whilst TJ drives forwards , lucky that winch worked on that incline . pretty cool so far . let's see what's next !

[@brentmcd12]

it must get old hearing those springs clink and clunk re seating . dunno about the radius arms bolts . maybe the bushes are getting worn also ?

[@brentmcd12]

[@brentmcd12]

when u are saying the Patrol needs a throttle controller Which i dont reckon is a good idea . are you in D Drive ? or like in 1st gear ? I know the throttle is touchy but would get used to it .

[@dsw9670]

Another great video Tyler. 😎

[@TylerThompson90]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@louiskudlak2241]

Great park with plenty to do 😀😀

[@jasonbaker2813]

As always, nice video capturing the best of the east coast Tyler. One suggestion, have you considered looking into transfer reductions on the patrol? I found they made as big a difference off-road as putting lockers on did, I had much better traction (forward momentum) and throttle control - the wheel didn't want to spin on each throttle input. I believe the Nav had good reductions ~ 44:1 but the patrol is only at 25:1 in 1st low. Just a thought if you haven't considered yet.

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate! Yeah potentially do that down the track!

[@mousegod100]

That hill climb, now that was the shot.

[@tbillington]

All the titles/text are distracting IMO. I'd use them more sparingly in future just in a couple of spots during the video. Great video still, will have to add Sundown to the list to check out.

[@travelsolo2677]

Agree, comments text is distracting. Location and track names is all that is needed.

[@TylerThompson90]

Yeah I did some questionnaires on social media a week or so back as I was deciding whether to do them or not and about 75-80% were in favour of them so that's why we did them. I think there was maybe a little too many and font and colour needs to be changed but majority seem to prefer and people who have hearing difficulties have said its much better for them. But yeah still trying to work it out and find the balance. Cheers!

[@wasbruce]

Top vid mate. Agree with other comments re: the text in the vid - a tad distracting - but doesn’t detract too much from the quality of the content.
