Really sorry to hear you lost all the footage but at least you've got the memories. A good reminder to lock your car no matter what.

[@craig2795]

We lived Down Under for almost 6 years and we also had a Prado Soccer Mum car, an older version but with a bit of a lift and some 33’s that car never once let us down or got stuck and we got a couple of laps of Australia in the process. As for Fraser (as it was to us back then) we loved it as a family beyond measure, we used to drive up from Sydney at least half a dozen times a year with the excuse we were visiting family but in reality we just wanted to be back in Fraser. Loving this

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

That is awesome Craig! You're definitely the envy of any red-blooded Aussie having been to Fraser more than most people I know. Thanks heaps for watching! Cheers, Mitch

[@alexfisk4713]

Up the Prado! Great to see it walk K’Gari with ease. Can’t wait to take my 120 there. This is such a great series. Sorry to hear about the break-in… Grubs!

[@Ranger670]

Thanks for the clean up message(s). I've been around long enough to see many great places closed off or restricted because of the mess left by a small percentage of ignorant off roaders. Unfortunately there's also a few people around who take what's not theirs. Pleased to hear that you're not letting it stop your trip. Great episode. Thanks.

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

Hi mate, It's still blows me away that people have to be told to take their rubbish out with them - makes my blood boil when I come across other peoples garbage. Hopefully it'll get through people's heads soon! Thank you so much for watching! Cheers, Mitch

[@Thegamelover7777]

I was just at Fraser. Zone 5 is closed. 22 psi is great. 16 isn’t necessary, my 105 was fine.

[@aron2199]

I was put off going to Fraser because both the infamous inskip and nagla but as it turns out - it was nothing - air down to correct pressure, keep momentum up but not rev up like crazy- a spinning wheel is not going to give you forward momentum- I actually use low 2nd and 3rd doing about 30 - nice and steady and you wonder what all the fuss is all about!

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

It's way easier than people let on! Thanks so much for watching! Cheers, Mitch

[@aron2199]

@@4wdsupacentreAu could not agree more - wish i have done it earlier - the place is magical, and that's saying a lot from people like me who prefer the bush over beach

[@reececarlile7908]

Love it up there. I’m lucky enough to do a yearly trip up there every year with a bunch of blokes for a couple of weeks.

[@RoMiTouring]

I would never have thought you would have room to pack a paddle board, even if inflatable. Looking forward to travelling with you.

[@Bigcountry_littlelegs]

Your doing a great job, sucks on robbery, but chin up and keep at it 😊

[@chriscuppywhitehead6722]

About to sit down with a brew, I looking forward to this

[@stevenbest1550]

I really want to come back before they close it to 4x4 access for ever

[@goldcoastkayakfishing]

Awesome 👍

[@chriscuppywhitehead6722]

Bloody mungrals! Love your can do/ soldier on attitude. Enjoy your holidays 🍻

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

Thanks heaps for watching, Chris! Stay tuned for more! Cheers, Mitch

[@chriscuppywhitehead6722]

@4wdsupacentreAu Oh I will be staying tuned. A realistic travelling show to give me genuine inspiration is exactly what I need .... not to fuel my holiday desires but to inspire my destinations .... especially the how (permits, money) and the direction.

[@user-su5fe5xk4h]

Awesome video enjoying your series already. Loved the build series can’t wait for the video. Already made my mind up when we do cape York next year first stop will be Fraser. Keep up the good work. The soccer mums car was turned into a beast sorry to here what happened to you guys in cairns. Enjoy your lap and thanks again for the videos.

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

No need to thank me! Thank YOU for watching. Love comments like this, so stay tuned for more! :D Cheers, Mitch

[@TheJAC2010]

I missed fraser island beautiful place back again 😀😫 2024

[@HammerRocks]

What a bunch of scumbags those thieves where. I hope the rest of your trip goes far more smoothly. That Prado performed really well at K'gari, particularly how well it drove through Ngkala Rocks. What tyre pressures where you running?

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

Thank you! I was running 16PSI for the majority if our time there - I bumped back up to 22PSI for long trips on hard, compact sand which seemed to work perfectly. Cheers, Mitch

Guys I am so sorry you were impacted by some knuckleheads, looking forward to the next video

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

Thanks Adam, Can't wait for the next episode to go live - you are going to love it! Cheers, Mitch

[@fatmanoverlanding]

Great start to your adventure. Pity about the break-in - utter scumbags. But I believe in karma and they'll get their just deserts. And just like you, I'm continually bamboozled why people continue to leave their rubbish behind. One campsite I recently went on had bins provided by the State Forest which was no more than 30m from bottles and cans left on the firepit. I'm still bewildered why some people still don't get it. Leave it better than you found it peeps. Looking forward to the rest of your adventures.

[@alisonphilp7497]

Great episode mate I feel for u there is to much scum in cairns that steal and break in everyday I love here it’s literally out of control so disgusting up hear can’t wait for the rest of ur trip 🤙

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

Thanks heaps! We still LOVED our time up there -Hopefully they can get it under control soon. Cheers, Mitch

[@wepopcreative]

Out of interest, did you have the driver seat in the Prado modified. I’m 6ft 5 and I’ve been testing Prado 120s and the leg room is woeful. Did you extend the rails or happy the way it was?

[@timhaynes739]

Did you install a lock box to prevent it happening again?

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

G'day Tim, I ended up locking everything in my titan storage drawers. Cheers, Mitch

[@markleon7076]

Which caravan park did you go to SO we know not to don't like fees to

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

Unfortunately me sharing with you the exact caravan park won't make any difference - these opportunistic grubs hit all of the caravan parks in Cairns on the same night, one by one. So all I'd say is to make sure everything is locked up correctly and out of sight. Cheers, Mitch

[@darrenc4096]

Nothing worse than getting your belongings stolen. Always lock your car no matter what. They really don’t care if they are caught because they know they won’t be punished.

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

Yep.. That's the unfortunate part! Cheers, Mitch

[@rossstafford4531]

What lowlife’s mate what goes around comes around mate I’ll get what’s coming to him. One-day items can be replaced but lives can’t but I don’t know how it feels when you get something taken off you I had a vehicle stolen. Have a good one mate I’ll see you on the track one-day. 👍🏻🍺🍺🇦🇺

G'day Ross, I couldn't agree more - thanks heaps for watching and if you ever see me out and about, say g'day! Cheers, Mitch

[@rossstafford4531]

No worries mate I own a GU Nissan patrol 98 model petrol still doing work to it to get it to where I want it to be but it still doesn’t stop me getting out on the tracks. Have a good one and stay safe on the tracks buddy 👍🏻🍺🍺🇦🇺

@@callanrobison2674 yes it was .. Named after Eliza Frazier who was shipwrecked there … many years ago

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

Eliza Fraser*** It was known as 'K'gari' for thousands of years by the Butchulla people before Europeans called it 'Great Sandy Island'... It then changed to Fraser Island in the 1830s. Cheers, Mitch

[@TheLordDynamic]

​@batmanlives6456 Fraser*. She lied to colonists about her treatment on the island and within a decade the population of the Butchulla were murdered and the kick in the teeth is they then named the island after her. Knowledge is power. Some things need to progress so history doesn't repeat itself.

[@bradsanderson3846]

The Traditional people named it fraser island because of a white women who was ship wrecked on the island why the name changing when traditional people named it any way

Great attitude towards a negative thing. Dont let them little low life scumbags ruin a dream holiday for yous. Enjoy the rest of your adventures! Karma is a wonderful thing.

Wow, you must be an expert 😦😦👍🏼 Thanks bud.

[@darrengray2309]

Ffs they even have to explain why they are calling it Fraser Island. Oh I forgot political correctness is the most important thing

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

Not nah not political correctness, just correctness! It’s like if we called you Damien but your name was Darren. The name had been changed back to the original name so we were making sure we explained our mistake!

[@markmcintosh329]

Sorry to here that some tip rat wanted your gear more than you. Australia was a nice place until they let criminals be the victims of society. My in-laws have traveled Australia for the last 20 years and have never had a issue ever so hopefully that’s the last of the crap for you. Looking forward to your next vid..
