The 4xAdventures RU-vid channel began life as a very simple idea - to film some of my outback trips to show friends and family the beauty that is outback Australia. Far from being this vast emptiness that most people believe, if you look hard enough, you will be richly rewarded with some of the most stunning scenery in the world. The vastness of this country, together with the sheer remoteness of the outback makes it an overlander's dream.
I hope you enjoy watching these films as much as I have enjoyed making them.

14:50 THANKS .. I bought a brand new Nissan Warrior from my hard earned money and so possessive about it that I didnt go to adventures.. Now I will.. just needed that from u.. Thanks..
I’m glad you found some inspiration from my video! My FJ is my pride and joy, but at some point, you need to accept that a few battle scars are simply a part of 4WDing. 🙂👍
Absolutely better than whats on tv. Theres to much product advertising and promoting on tv which i kind of get, i mean they have to pay for things somehow but it just takes away from the actual content. Aside from that theres just too much 'fluff' for lack of a better word. Old school shows like Malcolm Douglas were great but they just dont exist on tv anymore.
Should have used your spare tyre to winch up the hill. You use it standing up with the winch rope going over it. It will help pull the front of you vehicle upwards.
What a lovely video. I was sad to cancel my trip to Mungo due to heavy rains but watching your video has inspired me to try again next holidays. Heard the beautiful old shearing shed burnt down. What a sad loss to the park.
Great story Artie and I'm sure some good experience was gained and glad you overcame the challenge. Don't be afraid to drop your pressures even more in a situation like that. The difference between 14 psi to 10 psi can be huge and then the difference between 10 psi to 6 psi also huge , in this situation going as low as that may have just done the trick
Congrats on breaking 100k subs, well done! Looking forward to the new trip. Is that the Cruiser Company rack on your spare wheel? Interested how it goes extra weight and all and what you plan on using it for. Good luck !
Congratulations on the 100k subscribers. I just hope you don't get too big it has happened to alot my favourite RU-vidrs. The accessory companies start throwing that much gear at them the videos start to become just a long commercial. Tyler Thompson is the perfect example now that he has become quite popular he has gone from touring to you must have a live axle vehicle with a 4 inch lift and 35's and every accessory that those companies can supply. Just my thoughts anyway 👌👍 5:51
Thankyou. Point taken. I’d like to remain independent so I can offer unbiased advice and reviews. That said, RU-vid ads don’t even come close to buying a tank of petrol per month, and so I am hoping to get enough Patreon supporters so I don’t need to look for partners etc. 🙂👍
Hey Artie, I'm only surprised that you don't have more subs to be honest. Your videos are professional, informative and interesting, the sort of viewing that we used to look forward to with a weekly T.V. show for instance, where binge watching wasn't an option and anticipation was an event to be enjoyed. Then there's the fact that it is great viewing generally with no underlying "influence" shoved down your throat, no controversy, no politics just entertainment. Keep it up man, looking forward to this next adventure greatly.
I can’t believe you have 100k followers and the RU-vid algorithm has never served up one of your videos to me before! I’ve binge watched a stack tonight so catching up slowly. Looking forward to following your trip!
Transverse chassis vibration seems to be a feature of the modern independent front suspension vehicles at speed on rough roads (physics and suspension geometry) - you dont feel it in the cab due to well engineered vibration isolation. - the chassis (bullbar direct mounted to chassis) feel the full vibrations. - these lateral vibrations are likely a major contributor to things coming loose on the bullbar - So, step up hte mounting security, short bolts and lock washers likely will not cut the custard. - longer bolts will help. (use a decent spacer tube to allow for the longer bolt) the longerthe bolt, the more spring streatch it has, and this is good. (think of the bolt as a spring. A fastner nut will only come loose if it is momemtarly in fresh air due to vibration. A long spring ( bolt) can better clamp the assembly and prevent the freshair movements that undo the nuts. - theu use of "structural" / hardened steel washers can help too as opposed to normal mild steel "bunnings" washers The lazymans way is to use locktight on the fastners or use nylock nuts (not to be resued many times as the friction locking decreases a bit with use) just some thoughts on not having things fall off in your travels
Thankyou so much - that actually makes sense when you think about it. I’m on the road right now, day 1 of trip and that bracket broke today, so I will be finding a new one in the next day or two and will try using longer bolts as per your suggestion! 🙂👍
Great to see all your preparations for your trip, Attila. Having experienced a similar problem with my FJ with the antenna on the front bull bar, have you considered a rear mount antenna that attaches to the rear door doesn't have as many vibrations to work things loose. I don't think I'll place a link here for you. If you need to know more, just give me a p.m., and I'll send you the link. It's relatively inexpensive, and there's no cutting of wires. Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing your big trip.
@@4xAdventures your vehicle must run hot, never had a exchanger get above 30c on a engine unless it’s a massive exchanger that hold 3 liter or more of water to be heated at a time.
@@4xAdventures I have a Coleman hot water on demand I can get 8 showers out of a 1 lb bottle of gas with 160 degree temp if I want. It’s no bigger than a small tool box. Works fantastic
Your next trip sounds exiting. Good luck. Question: Do you have the all-up-weight of the vehicle fully loaded, fuel, water etc and with the 2 of you in the car as well? Would be interesting to know as I have an FJ as well.
Well done with your prep. I would suggest though you have some flexibility in where you put the Starlink dish. After just completing a lap I know you can’t always guarantee a great position for both the RTT orientation and the Starlink dish if you have to always put it on the front of the car. (We use a RTT too). Hence I use the base that I can put anywhere so long as the cable reaches and honestly could not have done without it as we used Starlink pretty much daily.
