The gates were put there years ago to stop the track getting wrecked. Blue Mountains 4wd club did maintenance on it and had the keys. If you were in a club , you could get the key off them. Too many times the gates were vandalised , they gave up fixing them , and left them open.

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers for the info mate

"You're not even that excited when you see me naked" 😂 I know wheeling is fun but..... 😂 Great work man 🍻

[@triggerdose]

hahaha

[@DailyGrindAus]

Yes, but does he get to engage the rear locker??????

[@TylerThompson90]

Haha thanks man!

🤣😂

[@WDMTAdventures]

Excellent episode Tyler, you seem so much happier when Demi comes along.

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate!

[@71Surfie]

Mate every time I watch one of your vidoes I just want to go packing the 4B and go. This one is no exception. Well done!

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@ryantilley-general.shenanigans]

20:25 hahaha feel the burn! Love it!

[@TylerThompson90]

😂

[@craigperry7376]

Tyler mate love what you film & do. I’m not a 4WD driver, but enjoy watching your gutsy trips. This one was particularly wowwee. I can’t believe what you & your Dad negotiate without needing to call on winches. That cave system was amazing, & glad you shared this as would be only time I get to see it. Take care out there, & please keep the cameras running. Cheers from STH of Brizzy.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it 👌

[@neilheyward2599]

Frozen lemonade icy pole in the middle of nowhere. I'm with you kai, thumbs up. What a spectacular cave, thanks for walking down

[@TylerThompson90]

Glad you enjoyed it mate, cheers

[@mikehzz9848]

Lithgow side of Lost City definitely the best side.

[@Scott-YouTubeAddict]

We are loving the longer vids with short ads 👌😊🇦🇺

[@TylerThompson90]

Glad you like them!

[@Malc664]

The bush is taking a while to recover from the fires. Great photo's Malakai, 👍🏻.

[@iamnoone9498]

Unlike the charities that pinched all the donation money. One of my brothers lost his shed, tractor, a couple of 4x4’s, boat/trailer/outboard, machinery, etc. Hasn’t seen a cent from charities. His insurance covered enough for a fence!

[@bigz2869]

Those caves………wow !!!!!!!

[@terrybarbie5207]

Hi Tyler - great video! When you're on steep angles, for your seat belt simply put a wooden clothes peg on the strap near the pillar, before you take it off. That stops the seat belt retracting and locking. Make sure it's a wooden peg because I've found plastic pegs slip thus don't work.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks for the tip mate!

[@FlatBrokeAdventures]

Cool video Tyler I love the look of the river caves it's o my list of things to see in September when I go

[@TylerThompson90]

Its a great place there

[@FlatBrokeAdventures]

@@TylerThompson90 it sure looks like it. I can't ait to get there.

[@chrishanslow4825]

It was good to see your partner coming along with you on this trip Tyler mate, she was having a blast and your i have more talent than dad comment was just so funny 👍😂👍

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it 👌

[@Wolf4wdadventures.576]

Ahh, was waiting for part 2. Sunday evening, beer in hand watching great 4wdring, scenery, love ya style keep it coming mate !!!

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@intimatespearfisher]

Awesome third episode on this lot mate. Big calls there on the talent lol. I think we need an episode where you and your dad swap cars and take on some tough tracks! 😀

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Yep hopefully he doesn't break the nav 😂😁

[@steiny3353]

Ewan Gardiner. I don't do that mate. If someone breaks my ute, it's gonna be me. 🤣

[@hutchinsonsadventures4678]

love your channel mate and your confidence with the tracks cheers

[@TheJanope13]

Hey mate just want to say that your videos have huge amount of replay ability as you don't gate keep the cool spots you go to. I originally started watching your vids a few years back when trying to plan my blue mountains trip and it helped tremendously. Perhaps i could suggest you link each part in the description like the blue mountain ones.. When i go back to the older series its a little hard to find the next part without digging through the channel, and not all of them have a playlist. This is an even bigger ask but perhaps your descriptions could include detailed description of video content such as which spots you went to, camped at and roughly what time of the year you went, all crucial info when planning a trip. I've found heaps of channels because of stuff like that. Perhaps this could be an extra feature to benefit patreon members.

[@TylerThompson90]

thanks for the feed back mate, I'll definitely keep that in mind for future!

[@andrewbailey1886]

Great video as always mate, that river walk looks amazing ps Demi's a keeper you seem so much happier, keep up the great work big fella, livin the dream

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, appreciate it!

[@petermiddo]

Put your seatbelt on, attach a fold back (bulldog) clip in front of the opening where the seatbelt retracts, as you leave the bitumen. It stops that problem.

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate

[@FatboyAussie]

God bless rock sliders

[@alanheather8441]

One of the best video’s you’ve done awesome tracks

[@TylerThompson90]

Appreciate it!

[@anbu999]

That rear locker is gem.

[@neilbates8409]

Great scenery from the drone

[@stephenlatimer1428]

think time away 4x4ing with family or by ur self without any social media concerns is a great reset for the up n coming adventures. no different from any other work commitments people have. time off or holidays is a great reset for all. great trip Tyler.

[@TylerThompson90]

Yep for sure mate, cheers!

[@KOTW.Adventures]

Did you know that the original Spanish Steps are actually in Italy? How spectacular was that cave system!? Wow! 😲

[@TylerThompson90]

Sure was amazing!

[@phillipcave1197]

I live in Lithgow and never done the Spanish steps lol Great video again.

[@douglasyong6939]

Had similar issue with the seat belt..moved the slider up a notch and good for now. Keeper

[@DanielLane]

Another great video Tyler!

[@kwridgway]

Terrific episode !

[@shaddonaghue]

Great video mate, its funny how many people go the lost city but not down any of those other tracks to see it from the other side. There are so many tracks up there to explore. Can’t believe you swam in that water i know how cold that it 😳🥶. Cheers mate

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Yep that is one of the coldest places we have swum haha

[@airakklein]

Wild how big those steps actually are, the bit @6:52 packing for your dad really puts it into perspective. Great vid as always mate

Hidden secrets of Lithgow would be the excellent take away shop on corner, maybe blast furnace park. How is Newnes, gardens of stone etc Lithgow? Why not call it hidden secrets at Clarence...

Thanks for doing this area mate, I’ve been keen to get friends to come Along but we usually head out to Mudgee and hill end, hopefully now they can trust my judgment haha. Looking forward to slightly more details on some Tracks you do also.

Awesome mate, hopefully you can get them out there now 😁

[@TylerThompson90]

Haha maybe 😁

[@DiHandley]

This is some excellent “must see” 4WDing. You kill me Tyler! It would be great for a novice like me if you could quickly say what gear you are in when tackling some of those hills.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@intimatespearfisher]

It used to be his catch phrase 🤣

[@outbackdreamer6445]

Awesome work. Any concerns with the Bushmans fridge on steep inclines? or were these under 30 degrees.

[@TylerThompson90]

Ive never had any issues with it mate and had it on plenty of steep hills

[@outbackdreamer6445]

@@TylerThompson90 You'd definitely give it more of a workout than I ever would, so that's very reassuring. Time to go shopping...

Always wondered what axle hill was like. No one must drive it much.

Nope seems fairly unused

What's the long travel kit you mentioned? Is that a new mod?

Also what tire and rim size?

Should try it in a 10 tone fire truck that's when you know your having fun. This is my back yard

No damage on this trip mate, never really break much out on the tracks, just wear things out quicker over time
