Love to get out of urban areas and head to the bush? So do we. Whether it is 4wding, camping, caravanning, trail running or hiking, any excuse to see the urban hustle and bustle in your rear view mirror is an excuse to follow me! Warning, I do have a soft spot for grunty V8s so rarely do I overlay music in my videos, especially if I can hear a grumble!!!
Looks easy doesn’t it. All comes down to tyres on this section. The driver tried all the different electronic computer settings the 200 has, traction control on, off, sand, rock, mogul, the works 😀
@@urbandecamp No. Inexperience. We run a 200 with a KEDRON caravan. Done the Telecom track horse through the cape gunnamara. Hesitation and lack of the right foot can cause so much problems.
Nice, love our van. It’s been really good, no issues. Need to take it on a good long trip one day. We bought ours back in 2020 (ordered before Covid started) and still had about 12 months wait but we weren’t in any hurry.
Very over rated Ute lacking everything that makes it 4wd, like no low range option , no limited slip diff , no locking diff , 1 wheel at front 1 wheel at back turning, that just 2wd , doubt we see a land crusier every driving on any tracks called amarok
Hi Donald. The track starts south of Berry Springs, at the very end of Spencer Street, Darwin River, turn right onto “Old North Australia Railway” track then pretty much follow the old rail line south. Google maps has Spencer Street, Darwin River on it.
This is how you destroy tracks and cars. It’s not the place to learn how to drive off road. Most of the time there are 3 wheels on the ground because the speed is way too fast. Try lowering tyre pressure and slowing down, this way you have all four wheels driving with more tyre on the track.
You’re right about tyre pressure. This guy ,who we nicknamed Harry halfwhit, refused to lower his tyre pressure below 40 psi because they were new tyres and “should’ve taken him anywhere” 😅🤣😂
That part of the Frenchman’s was heading west not far from the Pasco River and we camped on the flat at the top. The track was very wet, muddy and slippery when we were last there. I had 15psi front, 18 rear and 15 psi in our 2000kg camper. Went up in 2nd low range at idle. We did the Laura - Maytown, Tele track and Frenchman’s. No damage, no eggs broken and no one was shattered. The video is a classic example on how to destroy the track by environmental vandalism and yet another track being closed to all travellers.
It’s just called a Provent 200. I bought mine from Berrima Diesel (NSW) through their online ordering system. Looks like they’re on a special atm $199 plus P&H
Did the Triton have no traction control? Also the Triton guy needed to commit more. 79 did well considering it's usually outclassed by vehicles likes these
No traction control on the Triton. The owner was interested to see how much difference traction control made, but don’t think this was a fair comparison with road tyres on the 200 series.

I just had mine done at a 4x4 workshop. When I picked it up I was concerned because the supply hose went under the radiator hose, crimping it almost flat. I had another look at your video and I can see how you have it going above the radiator hose. I think I will go outside and change it to the way you have done it. I also share Paul Barry's concern about oil build up in lower sections of hose. I suppose I will need to periodically remove the hose and flush clean.
Advantage over coil springs is,u can load it more but maybe bumpy rides, unlike the coils in the rear,so yeah pros n cons✌️😉..but good truck for overlanding,or off-road purpose very simple if its wid 1hz motor,but den others prefer power n torque 💪💪,so 1vdftv is the option to go for
I mounted mine next to the brake reservoir and the after market fuel filter on a bracket, the same side as the hose comes out of the engine without all the extra hose around the engine bay.
Nice vid.Mine was done similar by a workshop.The hoses on mine run behind the fan area, and if you look at your vid at 8.12,you will see a couple of threaded holes,middle of pic,a saddle for one hose was fitted there, then other hose cable tied to it as all well away from the fan.Then run down behind air box same as yours.Was concerned oil may log in trap of either hose, as they go down then up, but maybe enough flow so this doesnt happen?Some seem to run across rear of engine which keeps hoses up higher and they can drain either way,back to engine or can.
