YOU BROKE IT, WE FIXED IT - Mt Dare Hotel Outback Workshop

[@PhilTaylorPhotog]

Fantastic little explanation the brakes. Love your stuff.

[@LapsofMaps]

Thank you Phil. Glad you got value from our video. :)

[@ajs4x482]

We meet these two a few weeks ago at Mount Dare, just as nice in person as they appear on video. It’s doubly impressive watching Isabelle throw those wheels around because she really is a tiny lady, but 100% muscle. We headed across Madigans and fortunately everything worked perfectly so didn’t need their services. Good vid again, thanks.

[@LapsofMaps]

Fantastic news that you made it across the Madigan Line to Birdsville. Thank you for your kind comment, Isabelle surprises many people with her ability to change tyres. All the best, and safe travels. 👍🏼

[@juliabarnley7614]

Love your posts. Please give us more on each repair, you can make your posts longer, we'll still watch.

[@LapsofMaps]

Thanks for the feedback, we're always looking at ways to improve our videos.

[@sk00t3r8]

really enjoying these vids guys.. you make a great team combo...

[@alexbrown1995]

Been there a few times now but only for fuel, beer and a feed, rather than repairs. Great show - only thing I'd add is a temperature reading so people can appreciate how hot it gets out there,

[@rdunc1586]

Half the gear and 3 times the idea ! Amazing what you guys can fix !

[@ifyoucantjointhem]

Love your work guys. It'd be a real treat to come and have a few tins with you in person and chat about your adventures. Can you hang about at Mt Dare til next year when I'll be rolling through the Simpson? 😁

[@andrewsnoozy]

Just subbed to your channel. Love the content, good old fashioned "old school"

[@smled9256]

Awesome guys! I could watch many more like this.

[@ALEXANDERGILMOUR-xt3in]

Love watching the true bush mechanics at work. Amazing mechanic getting it done in the outback. No Supercheap auto just around the corner making do with what they have. ( Also hidden in the fine print plumbers as well 😂) Please keep sharing this amazing journey please 🥺

[@LapsofMaps]

We're qualified mechanics, in the bush.😉 We try to give it a good go. Thanks for your comment, and for watching!

[@RalfyCustoms]

Randomly found you and subbed, love the content guys, living the dream 🎉

[@LapsofMaps]

Thanks for the comment, much appreciated. 😊

[@pj-vq3by]

G'day Mick, hope to see you back at Mt Dare one day. Thanks for watching. 😃

[@robcantwell1981]

Really enjoy these vids. You’re a great team. Keep it up 👌

[@HeathDoherty-q1v]

Good episode and thanks for the repair to the bash plate brackets a few weeks back still going strong

[@iandickinson342]

Great vid guys. Love your work and work ethic..

[@bw_merlin]

Thanks for the demo, makes it really easy to see why air in the system is such an issue.

[@altron1009]

Just came across your channel guys, awesome work helping people in the Outback No.1 👏

[@SuperDazza777]

Another great video from you guys always look forward to watching all your content Best channel on KZbin 👍

[@Bennyboy-dog]

What a great channel.

[@bertfromnz9069]

Great entertainment guys, and gal, went through there in 2019 so can tick it off :)

[@davedave5457]

what a great channel for all those who travel remote. well done.

[@LapsofMaps]

Many thanks!

[@emu4wd]

You guys are fantastic. It’s just so interesting! Steve 🇦🇺

[@paulandkarenwatters9719]

All over it 👍

[@slowboat6021]

love your work.

[@jlkhh97]

Loved the new vid. Lots of variety and interesting things. The plumbing was fun to watch and gross haha. Jeremy's explanation of air in the brake lines using a syringe was really good.

[@benjohnson7170]

Fing top notch vid guys. Love yer work. That stuff is right on my wavelength.

[@steveformosa5191]

Excellent work all the things you have to do from the shit end to the broken vehicle and everything else 10/10.

[@dougfairweather]

Thanks again for a great vid... Was hoping to get to Mt. Dare a few weeks ago, but ran out of time! Love your vids - you both make it interesting and explain things well!

[@LapsofMaps]

Hopefully you have the time to visit next time around. Thanks for watching :)

[@justinseeberg1996]

good stuff guys keep it up

[@blokefromthebush]

Great video and it was great meeting you both. Thanks for the sticker

[@LapsofMaps]

Thanks! You're most welcome 😊

[@stevenbrinsley3971]

Great video, amazing skills,

[@scottmathew3919]

Awesome videos guys, love your work

[@TheOldaz1]

Good work folks, I'm sure you'll have a steady supply of customers.

[@alexwood5425]

Awesome, perhaps in the off season you have a go at the poor old windmill. Outback icon.

[@LapsofMaps]

Cyclone conditions tore the windmill down.. The bore hasn't been operating from the windmill in quite some time, but it is a great feature of the place.

[@hanshonstatzky961]

Great video ❤

[@MrMarkguth]

Been in a few camps around QLD, Glencore and BMA are pretty good. Life’s on a strict timetable and generally only in camp during dark, up early and back late.

[@michaeldallimore8590]

Intersting to see what breaks. Great videos thanks.

[@tadeuszmichaelwlodarczyk3120]

You are definitely the magicians to the outback 💯✔️

[@LapsofMaps]

I wish there was a magic potion to change tyres and fix the plumbing 🤣

[@tadeuszmichaelwlodarczyk3120]

@@LapsofMaps totally agree with you especially the plumbing 🤮. Been their done that. As the saying goes. Got to take the good with the Bad👍🤠

[@davidmurdoch9819]

Good to see you guys !!! Had a great time with you two crossing the Simpson in May and thanks for all the help and good advice. Travel safe and hope to see you both again

[@Bigcountry_littlelegs]

Great video guys

[@andrewford80]

Awesome!

[@johnbradley1599]

Well done folks, fascinating insight. Thanks.

[@RedScare67]

Can't believe how shredded that tyre was!

[@beartiger1553]

Bad Brake booster can be a nightmare for bad brakes as well

[@AG-gd8hn]

Really good stuff

[@calliehunter4593]

I had the same problem on my 2,8 gd6 4x4 auto. Wire on trailer plug loom chafed through and grounded blowing brake light fuse. The auto's don't shift if system can't detect brake lights.

[@LapsofMaps]

It's amazing how often a simple wiring fault from the trailer plug can cause all sorts of issues!

I seriously want to break down in the outback just so I can watch these legends fix my fk ups!

[@robpinter5431]

As a retired mechanic, I see working at Mt Dare is more just a mechanic parts swapper, great workshop to conduct a trade as you do everything mechanical and have the ability to repair everything....and plumbing....

[@LapsofMaps]

We've got the knowledge and the skills so why not give everything a red hot crack!

[@billybob1511]

Spongy pedal is standard in Prado 150 isn't it ? 😞

[@sherylryan7038]

What ever your charging its not enough keep up the good work

[@Corkhead75]

thumbs up !

[@waynejefferies8487]

Hi Guys, have watched a few of your videos. Love how you address problems and fix things with minimum fuss, despite your isolation. Perhaps you could explain a bit about your parts supply logistics, consumables as well as replacement parts. Also, do you depend on generator power? how much fuel do you go through on the gennie? I have a brilliant local general parts supplier and they will bend over backwards chasing unusual parts. Also what is your water supply? Not being intrusive, I live on an offshore island in Moreton Bay southeast of Brisbane, with no shops or other support, apart from Woolies home deliveries. Obviously the mainland is easily within in reach via the vehicular ferries, but lately they have been a bit overwhelmed by the demand. Not a mechanic but have been tinkering with vehicles all my life (73yrs). Still don't have anything resembling a proper workshop, but spend a fair bit of time fixing my ex-hire diesel Kanga miniloader - man's best friend after a good dog. I have aspirations for a vehicle hoist on my property before I die so I can service my various vehicles (including WW2 jeep replica) before I die..!! Enough about me, I just appreciate how you fix the 4x4s that Toyota and Nissan never really expected to face the sort of conditions in outback Oz. Good luck and best wishes. Wayne Jefferies, [e-mail]

[@andyk5473]

Another fantastic video

[@LapsofMaps]

Cheers mate, thanks for watching!

[@LittleWeekendWarriors]

Note that the corrugations were the worst right before Mt.Dare. Side track on top is definitely the way to go. Quite convenient if you brake something though 😆

[@LapsofMaps]

Yep, the corrugations around Mt Dare are brutal!

[@Bigcountry_littlelegs]

Issebelle plumbers only need to know 2 things crap flows down hill and pay day is Thursday

[@matthewthomas941]

Actually shit can flow uphill if it’s pumped and pay day is Wednesday 😂

[@rileyneenan9113]

And don’t chew ya fingernails

[@colinmorris8934]

😢this quote is from UK where pay day on building sites was always Thursday.We plumbers did know more than this 5 year apprenticeship and 3 years night school.

[@Bigcountry_littlelegs]

@colinmorris8934 yeah true plumbers at least know how to pick up a broom and clean up after themselves unlike sparkys 😆

[@texacola]

Successful engine conversion? Easy, 1HZ to a 1HD-FTE with tuning chip. Went from 50 rwkw to 182 and still going strong 4 or 5 years later. Zero electrical problems with it after doing the Simpson Desert twice (before your time there) and 3 laps of Australia coastal and inland and to the Cape and Gibb River Road etc etc etc. Just gotta be smart about it and plan it out properly :)

[@jefftheaussie2225]

My 79 came with the 1HD-FTE already in it from the factory, and I have had it from new. Keep it standard and you will have no problems.

[@lukeowen3072]

Cover that windscreens mate

[@Aussiecookin]

Good episode..One question... why dont people use the Ford Ranger to travel in rhe outback.. is it because the chassis's snap in half 😄😄

[@LapsofMaps]

Thanks for watching! Many people do travel in Ford Rangers surprisingly

[@duncanm6589]

Well done to both of you. Great stuff. Was interested to see the issue on the Ultimate camper as I have one.

[@godfrois2408]

If the engine don't pop first!

[@leoncellier4719]

A Maverick, GQ Patrol, finally one of my cars but with an engine conversion, not sure about that, my 4.2 has done 353,245ks and still doesn't burn any oil or just a little bit when the carby choke doesn't shut off quick enough, I would put a V8 in my Maverick if I needed to change engines, we shall see. Have a good day.

[@1BIGFROGGY]

The live chat was over within 23 mins!

[@LapsofMaps]

We didn't realise there was a live chat. We will be onto that next video! 😁

[@zfiddy]

Just found your channel, how do I turn the subtitles off? They are really annoying.

[@Glen-t7x]

Charge big dollars out there not like they got any option. Heard a bloke got charged a $100 to use a shifter for 30 seconds to tighten nut on his back wheel of motorcycle

[@LapsofMaps]

Chinese whispers go a long way. The workshop fee per hour is $120, and that is cheaper than the city so that's more than reasonable.

[@Glen-t7x]

@@LapsofMaps I don’t go any further than where the tram tracks end. other wise I’d get lost😄

You really cant go wrong with a non turbo Barra
