The lowest flexing Jeep if ever seen ! Maybe this is nice for road cornering as hell ha ha. I like the Hilux rear leaf "gliders" ,doesent it squeek if it run out of grease?
I note that you describe the Hilux as "road legal". I note also that that wheels extend beyond the body which normally is not legal. You have conditonal registration plates. Does this allow you to drive on the road under specific circumstances? It would be interesting to understand this. Thanks for your interesting video.
All flares have a quick release and are only removed for the obstacles. The car, when driven on the road, is always driven with fully compliant flares; yes, there are limitations for conditionally registered cars.

The funny thing is, I regard myself as a sort of greeny! I love nature, and I enjoy spending time in it, whether bushwalking, 4WD touring, or technical driving. I also look after it as best I can and, for instance, can't count how many bags of other people's rubbish I have carted out of the bush over the years.
@@AlloffroadAu But these people are from the city and have no idea and they are the reason why we have hot bush fires ,when the farmers where able to burn in the cooler months all was good but the do gooders stopped it thing got out of control ,therefore bush fires acurred
yep mate agree while also from the city I do spend a lot of time on the land. It’s like with everything the “extremes” of any believe poses the danger. Looking after the land does not mean you can’t uses it or enjoy it. And a few tracks used for technical driving has little impact if we consider the broader effects on nature. Indigenous used fire bush management for decades now all gone hence the big fires.
Hi everyone, I want to address the concerns some of you have raised about track damage. When I drive these tracks, my aim is always to minimise any impact. It’s important to note that erosion from bushwalking, which I also love and regularly do, can cause significant damage too. I'd like to address these concerns and provide some context *Our Approach:* When driving technical 4WD tracks, which have typically been used for many years, our primary goal is to minimize environmental impact. We practice responsible driving techniques and discourage any deliberate track damage. *Broader Context:* It's important to recognize that all outdoor activities, including bushwalking, horse riding, mountain biking, and others, have some impact on the environment. For instance, even popular bushwalking areas like Hanging Rock and the Gap show signs of erosion from foot traffic. *Track Usage and Maintenance:* The technical tracks we use represent a small fraction of the overall bush area and have a long history of recreational use. While these specific tracks aren't typically used by fire vehicles, we often help maintain the main fire trails that provide access to these areas, benefiting all users, including emergency services. *Environmental Perspective:* The impact of our activities is minimal compared to large-scale operations like mining or even routine maintenance conducted by National Parks. Our modified vehicles, when driven responsibly, often cause less damage than less-modified cars due to improved traction and control. *Balancing Different Interests:* The bush provides recreational opportunities for diverse user groups. We believe in promoting a balanced approach that allows various activities to coexist responsibly. It's crucial to respect different interests and not restrict activities solely based on personal preferences. *Fire Management Considerations:* The 2020 Wollemi wilderness fires highlighted the importance of maintaining access to remote areas for firefighting efforts. The fire trails we use and help maintain play a crucial role in this regard. *Our Commitment:* We are dedicated to responsible driving practices and environmental stewardship. We continually educate our community about minimizing impact and respecting the natural environment. We welcome constructive dialogue on this topic and appreciate your understanding as we work together to enjoy and preserve our beautiful natural areas. *But why?* Besides that, I like the challenge; Technical 4WD driving has given me a great appreciation for risk management. It has taught me how my vehicles behave in extreme situations, improved my situational awareness, and enhanced my ability to assess and read tracks. This is, in my opinion, a major factor in why I have hardly ever had an incident during our 4WD touring. It has enabled me to consistently make good decisions, even in adverse conditions. Best regards, Stephan
This video is just evidence for the authorities to close the tracks. I remember going down to that spot was for everyone and not it is stuffed! I think you should take the video down…….
no evidence is needed, mate. That track has been on film by many people for years and is already marked for closure like most other tracks up that way. Unless you can get a Corolla there it will be closed
You rant about track closure and associate with fire access. What fire truck will travel these tracks in the middle of a firestorm? Secondly you now own essentially a comp truck. It means the only thrill you get is from extreme terrain as everything else is super easy. It limits you to flogged tracks that the authorities have the environment concerns to close them - sorry but perhaps travel in the 105. Lastly, I love hard tracks but seriously dismayed by the damage to tracks needed by emergency services flogged by "one more no more" red necks. I would love these tracks and others to stay open but understand the requirement to close them due to the abuse by many.
yes, I made these tracks also with the 105, but that's my touring vehicle. Have a look at where you see us "flogging tracks"? slow, considerate technical driving. That's the whole thrill for me. The short technical tracks have been used for recreational, technical 4WD driving for many years. These tracks are not typically accessed by fire vehicles. Only the main access trails leading to these technical tracks are used by fire services. Often, it’s 4WD enthusiasts who help clear and maintain these fire trails, ensuring they are accessible for everyone, including emergency services. While fire trucks rely on these main trails to reach their destinations.
@@AlloffroadAunot sad if the tracks are being flogged like this, like to see a fire truck and other emergency vehicle get through a lot of the flogged out tracks.
Many different recreational uses of the bush. These tracks have been used for the purpose for decades; no, the sort tracks are not used by fire trucks but by all the access tracks leading to it.
Always thought that these tracks would be closed, but hearing you confirm that it will happen is sad. Even sadder that these use to be my favourite tracks when living in Western Sydney, and now that we are in the planning stages of moving back to NSW it's even more sad.
@AlloffroadAu finished doing everything we wanted and can do to our home and garden, so need a new challenge. Seen everything we can down this end of the world, and it's to far south to see what we want to see north. But the biggest thing is being so far from the kids and grand kids. Daughter wants to move somewhere on the far north coast of NSW son and grand kids are in Penrith. We are thinking somewhere around the New England or Northern Tablelands would put us less than a days travel between the kids, and we would also be fairly central for further travel.
I soon got sick of the McHitch. I was trying to hook up quickly, in the dark with low light and I couldn’t hook up. What an idiot I was! I had the tongue upside down! Won’t go in! Yeah I had a few issues on uneven ground. Now I have a semi off-road caravan I decided to remove the ball hitch to a DO35. Amazing no issues at all.
I’ve just had a mate shell out a quarter of a million dollars for a new 2024 Defender and I feel sure the reliability will be no better than the old ones. Resale certainly won’t be great as the resale value seems to fall off a cliff fast like most cars in that price bracket. I love the 110, it’s looks and the notion of it, however every land rover I’ve been in since 1970’s was very agricultural, basic and uncomfortable. I so wanted to love these cars. But dads had landcruiser since the mid 1970’s 55 series iron pig, so I bought a Landcruiser 100 series Sahara that is very reliable and so comfortable and they’ll bury me in that vehicle. However I still really want to love the land rover, but they just don’t let me. They could have ruled the world, but like all things British motoring failed to deliver in many areas but most of all reliability. Shame really.
Stefan, turn on comments on defamation vid so we can ask you for links to the vids in question. Would be nice to look at them before contributing to a just or lost cause...in our opinions
Hey Peter. He may want to mute comments on that particular post to prevent uncensored opinions, which may be detrimental to his cause. I've been posting comments on other vids only to make people aware, not to put my 2 cents in. I want as many people to be aware and give him the financial support he needs. As do you. You would agree, he dos not need a free for all commentary on such a sensitive legal topic.
Comments need to be disabled, as I could be held responsible for defamatory comments other people make. I understand and would like to show the videos and more info, but as advised by my lawyers, I can't as long as this is in court. I encourage you to do your own research, as I'm not the only one speaking up.
I have been using the Redarc 1225D for a while now, and mounted in the back of my car it always sits at 25Ahr until the battery starts to approach full charge. Does not get hot.
Hey Stefan, I don't know if you remember our trip up through the Tapin Tops and the Cells when your D3 broke the rear suspension link bolt. I'm about to do a Simpson crossing and have been watching your preperation video. Thanks
yes I sure do remember that trip one of my first 4WD adventures and it was quite memorable, I should be on the way to the Cape but have to deal with this. Enjoy the simpson
Altogis Australia topo is free and has satellite images, much better than just maps, the is also a small fee paid version with many more features, I use the satellite function a lot as it is spot on for your location
@AlloffroadAu with Aust topo you have natmap topo 1:250,000 and smaller plus many others plus ESRI Aerial sat imagery (much more useful out in the bush when you come to a Junction with multiple tracks), all 4 free, small fee for paid version which has much more, android only though, much better than hema, garmin, etc
By default when looking for things and you find it, it will always be at the last place you look. 'Coz why would you keep looking if you've already found it. Therefore it's always at the last place you looked. 😁😁🤣
someone gave you the wrong info, Wollomombi Falls in New South Wales are second with a 220-metre (720 ft) combined drop and Ellenborough Falls also in New South Wales is third plunging 160 metres (520 ft)
@DIYPunkyBrew At 200m, Ellenborough Falls is the tallest single drop waterfall in NSW. The operative word here is "single drop". The Wollomombi Falls has a combined drop of 228m, but it's longest single drop is only 100m.
Hello. I was thinking about buying the Hema 4WD maps from your link. Is this still available or is there an updated version? I will be travelling Great Central Road then toward Marble Bar on Gary Junction Road. Will those maps cover that area? Do I have to buy a tablet or can I use my phone? Thank you for answering if you have the time.
Yes, it is, but use the links from the last video. You can also get Topo Maps at a discount ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jaszY9wJk0I.html
I also don’t get why people who go out and enjoy these locations, can just leave all their rubbish behind… Then they complain that these tracks get closed.
When camping I like to use the mocha pot on the camp fire or jet boil. I rate these much higher than having an inverter and a pod machine. You need a fine grind so I attach my 18V drill to the hand grinder 😂 I am just waiting for somebody to make a 12V milk warmer.
Thanks for sharing. I also had the mocha pot, but it exploded on the cooker and created quite a bit of havoc. Fortunately, I wasn't close to it at the time, but if it had exploded at the wrong moment, it could have caused some serious damage, so I gave up on the mocha afterwards. I also switched to black coffee so I usually don't carry milk anymore.
I wish they made a Savanna Zero. Exact same chair, but Zero’s material, poles, and lower it. Maybe even remove the cup holders and pillow flap. Bring it down from 4.2lbs to 2.6 lbs, and pack smaller.
@@AlloffroadAu it sacrifices a lot from the Chair One and Two to shave off 2/5ths of the weight. Basically the things I listed. I just ordered the savanna for motorcycle camping though. I think backpacking, I’ll just stick to finding flat ground or a nice boulder. Maybe eventually buy a Zero.
This doesn't do it for me. the more he talks the more technical it gets. the best system to me would be .( From to destination,) for the day or whole trip. That works all over Australia EG: GPS I it takes more than 10 minutes to learn how to use it then it is Rubbish
Yes, it's technical because we go into advanced features; it's not a turn-by-turn navigation app but for off-road navigation. It sounds like Google Maps is for you; if you really go bush or remote; you will find out its limitations quickly, especially when it sends you down the garden path www.abc.net.au/news/2024-02-21/google-maps-tourists-lost-in-remote-area/103492986
Just got back yesterday from a solo camping trip. I went looking for wood and found random cans and stubbies in the bush. And where I was camping there was toilet paper and wipes in the bushes behind the camp. Yes I picked up everything. This is what the government want so they can close down bush and camping destinations.
