We are a family of 5 and we love 4wding, camping, and making lifetime memories exploring this beautiful country, its what makes us truly happy. So come along on our journey one destination at a time.
good video, funny, got mine back together, and now i see your video, i realise mine aren't properly assembed. the springs aren't right. it's working but it's going to give me grief. back into it...
hey mate, im heading out that way this weekend. where is the turn off of kingaham rd? is it well signed or just a track that comes up. would appreciate any info. thanks
Thanks for watching, at the time of this recording you could drive the main track no problem, but side tracks are more difficult. The tracks could have changed since the recording of this video so I'm unsure if you could drive these tracks or not now
@@outnabout08 Thanks mate. Just came back from Sundown. Did the main track no problem. Slow & steady in low range. Did not attempt the side tracks as I was also by myself. Appriciate the reply.
wow, before you submit videos perhaps some basic English may help. It is "his" not "he's" But, obviously just SEQ 4WD dopes that thing their vehicles are tough. NOT!!!
Love the clear no BS review from someone who obviously uses it. I'm a pretty fresh 4WDer and started off with a base Hilux + Bullbar from a dealer but have been building it up for "basic" offroading (im no hardcore offroader, just like to get out and find spots of interest). Watching all the "pro 4WDers" out there they all have the expensive high end gear which is great if you have a sponsor or a job in the mines. Just adding things like canopy, draws, roof rack and electrical with most being DIY adds up quickly and while it would be great to have the best of everything, I expect to use a winch maybe never or rarely so all I hope for is something that lasts a few years and can get you out of a spot of bother every now and then. From reviews I ahve seen where these fail it is almost always due to water ingress which I would probably be checking for every 6 months and cleaning. Could possibly seal the double lip with some sealant a bit and install a simple breather. Will consider one of these should I decide it is needed as for the most part they appear to work, just may not last 10 years if you aren't servicing it every 12 months which could be a pain depending on how hard it is to get at.
we are heading out tomorrow, undecided which track from hampton centre. awesome video guys, as a newbie this is giving me the shits haha. if youd like to meet up let me know
Great video easy to understand. I think mine might need doing. Got a knock from the front but feels more on the anti roll bar. So going to change those bushes first as they look pretty poor. Will watch this again though before I attempt it
After using my dominator twice in 6 months it gave up due to a snapped bolt on the field coils . Pulling the winch apart revealed they are not water tight at all! Full of rust and have never submerged it fully . Got a new motor under warranty . The first thing I did was pull the motor apart and install a breather port so I could run a hose up to my diff breathers . And apply gasket sealant to all the gaps ! Great pulling power tho so hopefully this one survives
*Just purchased a Factory Certified 2016 Toyota Avalon Hybrid with 31,000 miles on it🚘🚖 **allabout.wiki/Achilles** The original tires were Michelin Primacy MXV4's. They cost $195.00 and were on back-order from Tire Rack. I drove the car with the Michelin's for 2000 miles and knew that I needed to replace them now because the wet traction was terrible at 33000 miles. Thank You Amazon, got these Milestar MS932 Sport All Season Radial Tire - 215/55R17 98V at $65.00 per tire and they were drop shipped and installed at a nearby Sears in under one hour. On My initial drive home, on all kinds of road surfaces, and at 2mile straight road segment that allowed me to drive in sports mode I hit 150 mph and it stuck like glue to the road. It is supposed to rain tomorrow and I will find out about wet traction, which I am most concerned about. But dry traction with these tires allows me to fly like a bat escaping Hell, there is almost nothing on the road that can keep up, even the motorcycles are left in the dust.*
@@outnabout08 Hang in there mate! I also have a 4JJ1 07 Rodeo 4x4 and she's going to tick over 300k this week. I've been contemplating whether to update and several mechanics have told me to spend a little bit on maintenance and hold on to her. The newer equivalent replacement vehicles are nowhere near as good! (according to them). So I'm about to do front and rear shocks, rear springs, sway bar bushes and front upper ball joints. Thanks heaps for the helpful video!! Keep encouraging your kid mate. There's a desperate shortage of good mechanics and he seems dead keen!
Thanks mate this really helped as I’m looking at getting one atm .. you can do so much more with a winch go more places and have that peace of mind that if u get stuck u can get yourself out 👌 glad to see it can last a few years if u look after it .. thanks for doing a good quick review..
