[@stephenjacob9316]

This video just raised the value of all old low tech 4wds.

[@theexplorelife]

Definitely 😂

[@tshopguy]

I have a giveaway idea, why not give a chance for some members to tag along with their own rig with say a week off work or like 5k or something and paid fuel, I know heaps of people out there would love to go on one of these adventures but don't have mates equipped for recovery etc. I think sometimes just an experience away would be an awesome prize (plus you get content and spend less cashloa - win win)

[@theexplorelife]

Great idea mate, will see what we can do 🤙🏼

[@jeffwinter6859]

How goods the 79 👍😎 Smart driving on those water crossings, low range 1st, with rear locker 😎🤘

[@BEACHV8]

Y62 ate it!!!

[@maverick2242]

Awesome tracks and trip, guys! Hey a couple of things, I was surprised you were driving in high range so much and especially in the river crossings! Especially in an auto! Did you have a rear diff locker on! While the fluid ion the hill may have been a cause for the code, you are already having trans problems IME do not use high range off road, especially river crossings and even in snow, and ever with a diff locker engaged. Regardless of temperature or cooling you are adding allot of extra load, a common misconception is because you have lots of engine power you think nothing of it! But you are cooking your trans fluid, your torque convertor is working overtime and breaking the fluid down even faster! Diff locks front and rear unless a comp style like ARB air lockers should not be used over 15-20kms for same reason but also thinking about what a diff locker does! You should always be in low range especially water crossings at that depth, you should have more than enough range in low range to cover that and also Id suggest you use manual mode, start in 2nd depending on ya ratios but can drop easily to 1st if required, never be in D, never, unless on reasonably flat and light gravel roads which allot before or after was like. The only truck I thought approached it well was the Bush Coy crew, I don't know what the other guys did as they didn't say, but the LC crew always said what gear and range and perfect crossing every time, also tip never wear your seat belts, in those depths, if something does go wrong a good chance your seat belt will jam and you will be scrambling for a knife worst case. A lot of modern glass is also unbreakable, people have drowned because they couldn't get out or break the cars glass! Just saying as it was noticeable most were hooked in! While not the Cape shit happens when ya not prepared for it. Sorry to be that guy, but seeing allot of vids from many lately using pretty poor safety practices, eg no blankets on winch pulls standing in line of winching, etc. Both these issues with both American trucks don't fill me with confidence either, 79 might lift some wheels but it like a tractor in comparison, but keeps on going! I know you guys are going for the hard sell on the US big rigs, but to me they are a hauler nothing else! I love though you don't hide those things and show them, appreciate that, no doubt they are great for things, but Im not the market myself, someone get that man a snorkel soon pse! JMO. I'll stick with the 80 off road, maybe a 2500 Chev I do like them, one day for the Caravan hauler! I do love the High Country, too, here and there epic! Def bucket list that LC party maybe next year at the Dargo H, epic 🤘

Cant help but love Deano's plates. (ZWL). Currency Symbol for Zimbabwe. My Home Country.

[@TheBeautyLeague]

Hey from Maine, US 👋🏼😎 Excited to watch 🙂👍🏼

[@Cruizer2021]

Definately need a dream event n̈ bulahdelah, stroud, gloucester

[@bryanmorrison6484]

Hey man from the USA here, invest in a thermal bypass for the trans and I would highly recommend pulling the valve cover inspecting the pushrods and re torquing the rocker arms the 19+ ram likes to chew push rods up!

[@andrewcoulter323]

I like that star link for 1 hour then OFF !!

[@tshopguy]

Literally just watched pt2 and was like awwrgh fk left it on a cliff hanger, then bammo an upload, love it!

[@paulsmit8147]

Deno said it best......., 'new car problems' hey 😂, must admit though, on my '98 Isuzu Frontier I lost my clutch, couldn't get any gears, pulled onto a dirt road, drove about 5km, and full clutch reappeared again, still no issues 😂 Great Ep drop, thanks for the share 🇿🇦🤙👍

[@shanejorgensen5507]

great video's all 3 eps, would have loved to have seen a that with Travis, the owner of the Traveller, Bring on the next event somewhere close to SEQ 👍

[@geoffbognar9364]

Should of kept your 79 series

[@johnnycarr9935]

I love to see you guys put your rigs through the paces. I guess the ford wasn’t built so ford tough or just not tough enough for the Australian back country.

[@phillroo7871]

So guys tell us really what ya reckon of our back yard, pretty awesome have, or maybe not! We like it and to think you've only just touched it. Let's hope the ^lGiv doesn't close it so very important to respect it and keep it clean, cheers guys

[@TwoCrabsAdventures]

After all the gremlins in the US trucks are you guys going to persist with them and try Rnd them to be tough? I own a ZR2, people say so many issues, I think all cars do, us 4x4 community need to find the weaknesses and fix em.

[@johnfitzgerald5158]

Rear tray bumper on the Ram a little weak, the way you were able to kick it back in. Need some thick steel back there and it won't bend.

[@gunshipanropace2gunshipand119]

Its not an Adventure until something goes wrong 🫡

[@Iveyrich82]

Yeah, y’all come do an event in Alabama!! 😂🍻

[@craigadamsbfe3038]

Cool

[@Silvos29]

Big trucks great for towing but not capable in the high country.

[@tomkelly3896]

Def does nothing to clean up emmissions...its just another govt tax.

[@SoSo-xy7rc]

hi good 3 part can you give the names of the trails in part 3 please.

[@mattsmith2051]

A real South African would drive a Land Rover defender 😉

[@merinofarmeragriculturewor4623]

Yer boy ford comment & 2nd comment 🤟🇦🇺👍🍻

[@scoota969]

Why wouldn’t you put a tarp across the front of the American pox box for the river crossings?

[@geoffbognar9364]

You should come back and head into Wannagatta Station

[@markleon7076]

I like swag better than roof top tent it more like camping and cooking off the fire just better camping not taking home with you 😀.

[@merinofarmeragriculturewor4623]

Bet everyone one

[@garryhern2908]

Revenu raising like most off you tube at its best.

[@LeCabbage]

Parma Matt, Parma

[@alancross798]

What model of ranger is that your giving away mate? I didn’t think ford did a supercab with the cold new lights only the xl

[@theexplorelife]

XLT Supercab mate 🤙🏼

[@CumminsAus4]

Wish you have more info in what track this is

[@scottcox8559]

No snorkel is probably not the smartest move.

[@markleon7076]

Just use gas gas cooks better no batteries power no inverter a lot simpler 😪 that do think 🤔.

[@mel-lvk9460]

Pure excitement 🎉...

[@raymondo2052]

How did he get the guy off yellow stone as a copilot?

[@cliff4769]

Save a diesel! Delete it!

[@AdventureBraten01]

Couldn’t agree more 👌🏼

[@noneyacabbage]

DEF sucks! If you are ever near the exhaust when it 'regens' you know it's worse for the environment (& anything living) than a little open exhaust.

[@DamonJW]

Man you can kinda see why the Americans are happy to palm off a few of their trucks. Want to love them but this amount of drama and their known faults from the showroom floor to be fixed is concerning

[@jeffersonline698]

Will definitely be back down next your if it’s going to be a yearly thing 33:00 #QLD

[@paulclarke4431]

Is it just me, or it does it feel like this entire series is just propaganda to make the 70 series look good? 😉

[@scottspitty8283]

Just you. Not hard to look good in that line up
