We were NOT prepared for this... Attempting South Australia's TOUGHEST 4WD tracks! Bendleby Ranges

[@MicahBell_1860]

Cut a strip of the wrecked tyre & use as a gasket to stop the rattle in the spare tyre hloder. Demi's confidence has really improved in her wheeling skills from when she first had a crack. I'm impressed

[@Jacobtheunwise]

Smart thinking. Good ol micah the most hated rdr2 character 😂

[@MicahBell_1860]

Loved by Jenny@@Jacobtheunwise

[@47Rolling]

I worked out that way for a year a while back and yes fly rage is a real thing 😂

[@grahameroberts8109]

Good stuff. How about some cameos by chief photographer Kai. He is hardly seen these days. Maybe one of his famous meal or gear/camera reviews? 👍🏻🙏🦘

[@pajlife]

Yet another ripper of an episode in this series! Got to be one of the best 4WD/travel series I've watched so far.

[@johnjackman7622]

I did Billy Goat Ridge in a 2012 WK2 Jeep Grand Cherokee with Quadra drive 2 and air suspension back in 2016 all, the other vehicles were like yours, they thought I was mad.. It is a solid 9/10 in a touring set up, spare underwear is recommended in a full IFS vehicle with standard tyre sizes, the angles get scary on a narrow ridge with limited line choices. Looks like it’s got even more challenging now. One of my favourite places up there.

[@andrewcoulter323]

As South Ausies we've been going to Bendleby Ranges for years, and you got the best campsite riverbend. Back when Warren was running things we used to love tracks like Ridge top track, Billy goat ridge and Uruga hill. After Charlie took over he added some cool tracks to the mix with Hungry Highway, extending Uruga hill and calling it Pats peak, Kings ridge eliminated the steep down hill off of Billy goat ridge and Link track has evolved over the years to be a cool track to. Also the addition of sunset ridge is a cool place to spend a sunset. We haven't tackled Eke peak track yet due to a lack of lockers but with Burto showing us the way we might next trip.

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate, its an awesome place out there!

[@ianweal3081]

Tyler, all I can think of are all your previous subscribers whom bagged you out & dropped their subscriptions when you moved away from the Navara to the Patrols. They have just missed an absolutely brilliant series, one involving all the blended families (all three generations initially), and great mates. Crap, they have missed possibly your best ever touring episode yet, total praise to you mate, proud to subscribe to someone whom still knows how to present a genuinely totally awe-inspiring trip. Congrats, best series of touring you've ever done. 👏👏👏👏👏, Wealie.

[@ClaytonCookpanda]

awesome that your partner is more confident in front of the camera, she helps make it better. love the family stuff with the kids as someone that goes camping and 4x4ing with my 4 year old since she was 18months . keep up the family stuff and of course the drinks :)

[@TylerThompson90]

Thank you!

[@OffRoadQC]

Every videos of this series is a joy to watch. Dem is doing great wheeling that GU 🤟

[@RepLicanT00100]

Props to the relationship you have with not just your friends, but your family too 🙏🏻 . #respect

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, what an awesome place to visit, the scenery through the camera was stunning, love Sunday mornings, coffee and TT videos, life’s good, cheers

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@chrishanslow4378]

Great video Tyler mate, and watching Dem's confidence growing every time she is behind the wheel is just so good to watch. I used to go to school at Orroroo back in the day, and Bendleby is on my bucket list to do. Again, great work guys, 👍👍

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate, appreciate it!

[@shaynerolt198]

Beautiful location. Thanks guys for bringing it to our attention. Definitely on our to do list now.

[@tankstomp]

Gday mate!! I know you film months in advance. "just came across your visitor book entry at Mt dare 2 days ago" We are accidentally retracing your steps along this trip.. clearly great minds think alike haha! Been a pleasure watching your series along the way. Absolutely brilliant! We are heading to the Flinders today from Williams creek!!! Keep up the good work brother! Your killing it!

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, appreciate it!

[@BorisEkner]

What a conversation she had on diesel vs petrol. I ❤️ listening to it!

[@riarose1897]

Great to see that Track again. I was there over the June long weekend and conquered Eke’s Peak with my MR Triton. Definitely the hardest Track I’ve done so far! At this stage I was told by Charlie, that I was the first female driver that made it up to the top !

[@leonwayne7657]

Hey mate, Cut up a sacrificial thong as a rattle packer for the spare tyre latch and use it to add some squashable pressure. No more rattles.🤠

[@BruceschultzAU]

Great part of your adventure guys That wind was knarly. Cheers Bruce

[@Lisa-st4td]

Love your work Demi, agree with the anxiety side of things! Can confirm that we had great fun on Billy Goats on a 2inch, 30.7’s, only got stuck once 🤣

[@BorisEkner]

Good rubber of good size, good suspension, good lockers, the torque of straight 6 diesels. What setups! ❤️

[@BorisEkner]

@TylerThompson When rolling downhill in low range 1st or 2nd, please pull the handbrake 2-3 notches to change the brake balance more to the rear than front. Only tap the brakes when needed. My experience is way better changing the brake balance than not. - Give it a try and let us know your thoughts.

[@nordic5490]

​@@BorisEknerwhat would that achieve ? If the centre diff is locked, or, no centre diff, then the entire drive line is retarded evenly, ie, front brakes retard the rear wheels though the drive line. Like wise, using the handbrake will also retard the front wheels through the drive line. Am I missing something here? Btw, I had 2x 80 series and 2x GUs 20yrs ago.

[@nathanjv28]

I love the bickering on the cb radios, great stuff!

[@silver2.5]

Making me awfully homesick Tyler. Bendleby is the one place I didn't get to that I really wanted to visit before moving out west. Good clip

[@gazdog8150]

I reckon this is your best episode so far

[@brentmcd12]

WOW! Incredible to see congrats on your trip! ☀🌄🏜🏞🛻🤙😎📹

[@dennispenascoza1790]

Love your work Tyler. Very cinematic plus the music you put on feels like there's always something going to happen. Keep up the good work mate.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@paulsmit8147]

Nice one guys, thanks for the share 🤙👍

[@rollyb5061]

awesome trip Tyler, well done Demi you handled those tracks very with ease😊

[@tonyf7997]

Tyler & Co, spectacular and what a great technical track that was with a couple of minor casualties. Definitely a really great place to visit and what a spot to film and share with the kids. Where is the old fella - his MIA missing his Isuzu just following and his presence! Demi, 4 kids….. ya need a tv ! 😂😂🎉🎉

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! He is back in the next episode

[@antoninosolano7667]

Unbelievable mate you guys are the best video content on KZbin 😂😂😂

[@philg2468]

Been to Bendleby a few times but last time was about 10 years ago. Looks like they've put in some more difficult tracks. We took a few stock Landcruisers up Billy Goats but don't think I would now - looks a lot more chewed out. Great place though, and great people who run it. Worth the cost.

[@timmyhasheart]

Kai doesn’t understand parking up on a flex rock is a sign you’ve reached peak patrol owner status. Good to see some tech wheeling out there. 🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@TylerThompson90]

Surprised he hasn't learnt that by now after a few trips with you

[@roberthayseniorcounselcomm6523]

Bendelbury is one of my favourite places. I have done Bill Goat etc but my favourite was Hungry Highway

[@bikerssupportingcountrytow6904]

Next time you're changing a tyre and you're better fit it to the car use the Jack handle or tyre lever under the tyre can locate it on the studs this will now limit the stress and strain and damaging your back..

[@philmenzies2477]

Nah, thats what the young and dumb are for.

[@glenndodson1914]

41:01 Demi is terrified and the kids are barely interested 😂😂😂 They say it’s hard working with kids 😂

Tyre pressure looks good 👍, love the low range action ❤

[@stuartkcalvin]

Epic series, thanks.

[@stevesmith3556]

That rock wall is why we like our autos in the States😊 lots of those walls here. What gearing do you use? The highest ratio I see is 4:10. That's what I run. Better on the highway. Some go to high 5:0's. This was a great one, Tyler! Love watching these trips. Cheers!🎉🎉🎉

[@TylerThompson90]

Thank you! Both patrols have 4.3 diffs in them, the GQ has reduction gears as well

[@damianvears4149]

Awesome clip guys. love your work.

Awesome

[@rothburger]

Hey Tyler,, in my experience, 32 years of 4x4ing,, I’ve had the Best and I’ve have the cheapest tyres on market, I’ve been running Habilead practical Max mt on my Lux for years now, they come in at $600 fitted for the set…. Please at least try them and make a clip on them,, you’ve had the best according to social media why not try the worst.. cheers mate just a thought

[@harrywalker968]

front llocker,,before rear.. the front pulls you thru.. easier pulling than pushing,,yes..

[@DailyGrindAus]

Looks pretty spectacular, Demi is really doing some brilliant driving - far more technical than anything I have done. I think you could do some real track building with the bricks I'd be sh%tting....

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@bikerssupportingcountrytow6904]

Should get young Demi a pop-up gazebo with full fly screen mesh so you can have your picnics in the shade no flies or mosquitoes

Why hasn't Demi got the big 80? ya Dad could have driven the big GU, just a thought, don't kill me, 😛🤣 be great to see the 3 Nissans with the big 80 one day 🤘 ps good driving Dems, she did well, some not for faint hearted driving and props for giving it a go and conquering ya fears, FEEL the FEAR, do it anyway!🤟 What where's Gazza😩 🐇🐰was looking forward to some chef cooking and bunny stew!

[@tugboat8475]

That was an amazing video. One of the best. Would your dads car of made it?

[@TylerThompson90]

Would have struggled for clearance on some of the rocks on Eke track I reckon, would have got it through but just been more rock packing/effort

[@tugboat8475]

@@TylerThompson90 we haven't got a 4x4 but we're going to the Adelaide four-wheel drive and adventure show this weekend. Looks massive as in the size and amount of stalls

[@Dnotmans]

Common fact that the razr’s have weak sidewalls That’s the only reason I didn’t buy some for my hilux. They have awesome traction and quite on the road but the weight and weak sidewalls are the downfall

[@tendenzafashion]

Are the body panels in 2004 nissa patrol y61 are same as 2010

A Toyota would have busted ten CVS and diffs on that track! Nice driving and vehicle control, settling good examples for others 👍

Sorry to say, but… Half way into the video, lockers not working at the ‘wall’. - This is why I have automatic lockers from Kaiser in Brazil. ‘Cause Kaiser’s work all the time.

[@harrywalker968]

lunch box lockers or detroit.. best.. no wires, no tubes..

[@Accolades70]

Is having breather hoses for your 4WD (Diffs) an essential or a noice to have if not doing extreme off-road?

[@TylerThompson90]

I would say essential/highly recommended if doing water crossings/mud where your diff's will be submerged under water

what wheels are those on the green gq?

[@michaelmartin2057]

This is a comment purely for Demi. Tyler has had enough of the spotlight previously, it's Demis turn. I have watched you from the very first day that you started to challenge yourself in the realm or 4wDriving. This latest episode has shown everyone just how much progress you have made and how capable you are. I'm sure you get tips from others in the group as you travel, but in the end it's you who are driving. You mentioned you were feeling sick at one stage and I think that was good. If you get too cocky, confident and feel invincible, that's when you put your life and others in danger. So keep feeling like you want to be sick at times. I don't know of any other Female in Australia that is as capable as you in such a short time. If there is, let me know. You've got a great Teacher, even though you Butt heads now and again. It's wonderful that you share a passion together for travel and 4wdriving. I'm sure I speak for others that follow you.
