I remember the first time I went up a very steep hill in my 4wd, I wasn't driving, and couldn't believe that anything could drive up it but the vehicle did it easily. I have driven a lot of different things in my lifetime, including for a living for a lot of it, but I was still blown away by what a stock vehicle could do. After the first couple of times you get used to it but when you haven't done it before it's a bit of an eye opener or pucker inducing. Thanks for the video.

@@WildTouring We did a course when I got mine and I remember the instructor saying that most people will give up before the vehicle does and the trick is to not put the vehicle in a situation it can't drive out of.

Given the amount of water at the start you’d never get through the river section further on, There’s a few hundred metres of water were you drive in the river and it would be deep. you’d need more than LOW-RANGE. The pool would be full of water though which would be good to see. Cooking tip, use the pea water to make the gravy.

There is a track around that bridge. Water is sitting under that bridge most of the time. You don't need to be in low gear to drive through these rivers on the way to Kalgan Pool because the bottom is very hard. All you might need is a snorkel, but that's after rains when water is a bit higher than usual. Other than that it's a pretty easy track. That's an old video but it shows what to expect: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZ-pq6ipqpxjrZI We do it quite often and it's always fun.

Hi Cam - just a few questions regarding your L300 build - we are purchasing new 300 VX in October in Melbourne. 1. Where have you mounted the monitor for your caravan rear view camera monitor? 2. We are impressed with your kaon dividers in the rear of your vehicle - can you still fold down the rear seats? 3. In reference to a roof rack - are you happy with your base rack and do you think it is necessary to fit a light bar to reduce wind noise? 4. We are fitting a ARB Summit Mk2 bull bar to our new L300 and would appreciate your opinion on a winch - we don’t want a top of the line one - more a middle of the road reliable winch. 5. We are fitting Maxxis Razr AT tyres (to conform with the Lovell’s GVM/GCM pre-rego upgrade 4200kg). In your opinion are the standard VX rims okay or would you recommend the expense of purchasing mags? Thank you so much for your KZbin channel - we value your reviews and opinion. We are two kiwis coming to Australia in December to begin a two year lap with a 22.8 Caravan. Kind regards Hugh & Catherine
@WildTouring5 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching guys! - camera monitor is a clip on rear view camera from safety Dave. - you just need to take out the head rests if you want to fold down the rear seats with the cargo barrier in. The head rests lock the system in place. I never fold down seats as we have baby seats in anyway. - still plenty of wind noise with the arb base rack unfortunately, even with the light bar. - I don’t run a winch currently but have previously had a runva on a previous car that I was happy with. - Best to speak to lovell’s and see what they recommmend 🙂 Hope that helps! Enjoy your travels 🙂

@WildTouring5 ай бұрын
My hull and motor (75hp) are a 2005 model. My motor only had 500hrs on it though. I don’t know heaps about boats, but I’m loving it. It’s light to tow, easy to launch, plenty of room for fishing and gear, did 130kms at sea on it in next weeks ep! I’d also look at the Quintrex 530 spirit. Basically the same boat but slightly different hull shape. Try find something with a low hour 4 stroke (preferably 90-115hp) and a trailer that isn’t rusted through! Probably around the 30k mark for.
