just 4x4/ discover might not be a bad video to give us a review of bash plates, if you have some down time 👍🏼

[@heymynameisjesse1]

[@Jayawardana521]

Its always the driver who made it easy or hard

[@Fernweh4x4andadventure]

Love the fact you and your dad work those challenges out together and without front lockers, it truly proves to everyone that you just need to get out there and go and do it rather than just KZbin and think you know! Keep up the great work, looking forward to trips with and without lockers, don’t take too much fun away.

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate, appreciate the feedback!

[@lauriesherwood5492]

Loving the Lithgow series. Amazing drone footage of out the end of sunny side trail. The bush looks so different after the fires

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, yep crazy how burnt it all got in the fires!

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, appreciate it!

[@DanCabban]

Bloody well done mate. Your so lucky you can share these adventures with your dad.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@steiny3353]

Another great video Tyler. I've been hanging out for part 2 and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm glad you included your "camera retrieval" right at the end. That's a lot of bloody hard work, and I appreciate your efforts. I find myself analysing how you would have done certain scenes, and working out how you would have gone about it. It's great to see three generations out and doing it, together. Can't wait for the next part. Hope everything is all right with you.

[@TylerThompson90]

Awesome, thank you! Appreciate the feedback mate

[@jon.bennett]

Only just started watching your channel Tyler. Very entertaining. Great to see you enjoying the outdoors with your son and old man.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks 👍

[@gameuck17]

Great vid again. Your dad is still a boss in the mux. Great to see him tackle some tricky stuff with a relatively stock vehicle. Gives me a bit of confidence to have a crack in my dmax with about the same level of mods. Again 2x 👍👍

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate!

[@TylerThompson90]

Awesome place out there!

[@vincecarroll7337]

Should have watched the video till the end. I have just bought an mux and been watching your videos and your dad drives it well and I am picking up good driving tips as I am new to 4wd

[@TylerThompson90]

Awesome!

[@patrickstaples7314]

Beautiful place. My prado is unlocked and does the same tracks as the locked landcruisers, patrols and Jeep do just gotta pick the right lines

[@jackchatfield8074]

Patrick Staples The prado is a very capable vehicle, the wheelbase gives it more options compared to my unlocked 100 series.

[@rossp1762]

Your dad helps you with your channel you should help him out with some Elockers or air lockers your fans would love that Keep up the good work

[@JasonfromBiripiCountry]

Awesome video mate,

Thanks 👍

Will be good when Kai is driving and there will be three generations 4 wheeling.

[@anthonywhitney634]

What a shame they've got rid of that big rock face on Baal Bone Gap road! That was a 'must do' for that area! I guess some rain and erosion and the track will change again. In regards to Spanish Steps - I was with a bunch of guys that did that, mostly lightly modded IFS, they all got up that bottom step ok but the trick was to hit the far left with momentum and keep the momentum going. Saying that, it was dry when we did it. I note you've decided against a 'Lokka' for the MUX. I reckon one would have worked well, but hey, it's your vehicle!

[@TylerThompson90]

Yeah its crazy how different that track is since they graded it! He is going to get a locker eventually, not sure what brand/type he will go with yet though

[@crazyjestor435]

outstanding thanks for the videos, How goes all the ironman products are they holding up?

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Yep they've all been going well so far 👌

[@bradg350]

Threw an ARB air locker in my DMAX and wow best mod i've done so far.

[@krump7429]

How much was that? Did you get the compressor with it too? Im looking at lockers for my dmax before my reardiff goes bang lol

[@bradg350]

@@krump7429 Was about $1900 fitted with the compressor mate. Going to get the front one done soon enough.

[@krump7429]

@@bradg350 sweet price. Thank mate ill go to them over an e locker i think. Seems reasonable ball park figure.

[@ademarslanovski8958]

Can you recommend any sites/sources of information regarding 4x4 tracks and their difficulty rating for blue mountains? I'm in a subaru forester so can't tackle anything too difficult but still keen on doing some off roading. Thanks.

[@krump7429]

Everyone saying how good the mux is.... they are over looking ur dad as the driver. From ur old videos to now. He has improved his driving skills 100%. Great video those rock sliders are a good bit of kit, did u get the scfabworks ones? Ive got a set on order bloody covid aha. Awesome content, only one dislike probably from clive palmer cause that tard hates everything 😂😂😂

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Appreciate it. Dad has the SCF ones and I have mech fab industries 👌

[@william6815]

Put a 4 inch lift and 35s under the Navara

[@stavio12]

MUX Unlocked = Quite capable.

[@Jayawardana521]

Have they fixed the issue with navara fragile chassis

[@Humanstain1]

I noticed your father has taken the plugs out of his xrox bullbar ends, is there a reason for that or did they just fall out ? I have same bullbar another top watch as well 👍

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate. Nope they just fell out and he hasn't replaced them. He just realised the other day though that the side tubes were full of water from coming in where the caps were so he drilled a little hole at the very bottom of the tubes to let the water out

[@jackmunro2641]

👏🙌👍

[@mosesheh8734]

Hi mate Tyler Thompson ! Is Nissan Navara a good car I thinking of buying one

[@TylerThompson90]

Yep I really like mine 👌

[@andrewcakulslynnetteoregan3934]

So what is your preference for a locker air or e?

[@TylerThompson90]

Don't really have a preference to be honest, I'd probably get a e-locker in the front if I got one just to save setting up compressor and air lines etc

[@vincecarroll7337]

Does the mux have a diff locker

[@TylerThompson90]

Nope

[@lukep5130]

That kid is a crack up

[@phlfly10]

do you have limited slip at front?

[@TylerThompson90]

Yeah it has traction control at the front

[@kusheen...]

What's that clicky clacky sound the nav is making at 28:08?

[@TylerThompson90]

Not sure, always seems to have a few click and clunk noises coming and going when off roading haha

[@JarradDRS]

kusheen that’s just the sound of the driveline unloading when the clutch has been suddenly pushed in. All manuals will do if you push the clutch in quickly when the load is still there. The man caught it before it stalled so two thumbs up.

[@samjohnson9894]

Fix the pants situation and you're sitting on 100k subs. Capturing the angles is excellent. So hard to do. Technical driving sequences can do with moderating as the driving speaks for itself (not clickbait). Also more moderating when covering distance and covering the passage of time. Looks like alot of fun. And alot of time went into the editing. Music is good, tho more varied tempo and genera might match the spirit of the scenes better. Great job and at this point it seems you want it. I'd be exhausted by now, but just a couple more tweaks and I think you've got it. What do you want to specialize in? Off roading/overlanding or rock crawling/extreme solo trailing?

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate! Just whatever really haha whatever im enjoying doing at the time, bit of over landing stuff and the harder tracks too

[@alisaj222]

Hi, how much power the Navara engine is 2500cc
