Cheers! Yep got down to the Walhalla area

Cheers mate!

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks mate! Yeah ill have to do some more exploring around there

@@TylerThompson90 Burnt Top Track is pretty epic for views and terrain. I probably wouldn't take the camper but you might 🙂

Many thanks!

Yep will be in the next couple of episodes somewhere!

He is on the next few episodes mate. Cheers!

Hey mate, put a 265/70/R16 on, they fit straight on. Wheel is a -22 offset to bring them out more as well

Yeah all good mate!

That makes sense!

Yeah they do, some fishing in the next couple of episodes

Anything that brakes out on the tracks we commonly film. In between trips we do a fair bit of maintenance and replace any damaged parts etc

Goodyear wranglers mate

Yeah they are on the list of mods to do, would be good to have unlimited funds haha

Yep 😂

It's like most RU-vid channels, their content is exciting and new for the first few years then it starts to feel like the same thing again. Becomes very difficult to create new style content and why a lot of RU-vid channels fall off, being a short term content creator is achievable for a lot of people but trying to stay exciting and relevant for 10+ years is very very hard to do, I have been doing this for nearly 8 years now. This is why I do a variety of tough tracks, touring trips, build episodes etc to mix it up as much as possible, bring in new people like Burto, Demi etc We have been to basically every off-road destination multiple times on the East Coast of Australia from Cape York down to Tassie, out to the red centre, though South Australia. The only place we haven't been is Western Australia but funds and time make it hard to get there, and then a bunch of other creators like Ronny Dahl have filmed every place there anyway. So anywhere I go now is going to feel like somewhere I have been before or some other creator has been, there is a lot of people that make 4WD content now, the market is saturated. There isn't anywhere I can go that won't feel like 'the same thing', there isn't any build I can do that someone hasn't done before. The MUX already has suspension and most of the comments we get around the MUX are people enjoying it being basic and watching a stock-ish car tackle the tracks, so then we make it crazy and a bunch of people go off at me. The Barra 80 build has been our most popular content we have ever done. EDIT - I think the other thing to add is I just try focus on myself and doing new things for me and my channel, trying to 'compete' for new content with every other channel out there is a losing battle. As I've mentioned previously I generally just try do what I love doing and what we are enjoying at the time. This is a free channel for everyone, if you don't want to watch it you don't have to. I appreciate everyone that supports me but I'm not going to run myself into the ground trying to please everyone. My thought for this channel is as long as I'm doing what makes me happy and what is true to myself, if the channel dies then I can move on to the next thing in life satisfied. If the channel dies trying to do all these crazy ideas and things to keep everyone happy then I won't forgive myself.

Yes creating new different content can be difficult and considering many channels provide this entertainment free of charge, I think we all need to be grateful of the content that is available and watch and enjoy it for what it is. I’ve watched Tyler from the very get go and still find his clips very entertaining- more than many channels, especially some of the larger ones that end up being an hour long episode of advertisements from their sponsors. I agree with Tyler too, it is hard ( and bloody expensive ) to tour more and more remote areas to film videos purely to create free content entertainment for the end user. 😉👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

That’s why it need be about the characters in the story, and the Journey, not so much the 4b and location

@@lllllukeify 💯 Keep up the good work Tyler and team.

OP is 100% correct. Most of these channels along with all the other ones that do the usual 4x4 show circuit will slowly die and/or the content creators will burn out.

Terrible idea haha. Tb48 has less power, less torque and terrible engine braking compared to the TD. TB48 locked in 1st low is still like a freight train down the hills then you get brake fade every time, very dangerous

Don't let the dyno numbers thing the forklift engine is better. Line then up for a race and see what happens, TB48 will give you wheel speed to get you through things, and won't overheat in 5 mins. I owned a 4.8 on 37s and in low range, engine braking was still kinda there, but the brakes never faded. What diff gears are in the 4.8? ​@@TylerThompson90

I wonder what the difference in ratios are, I would have thought it was pretty similar.

@@ryantilley-general.shenanigans if you are talking about stock manaul 1st low first low huge difference. 80 series 2nd low is very similar to Patrols 1st low

Thanks mate! I personally find under prepared 4wds and people with not much knowledge do the most damage to the tracks, small tyres, no lockers, not aired down tyres etc etc spinning their way up and down the hills. A twin locked GQ on big mud tyres aired downed does no more damage to the tracks then a regular 4wd driving on them, other then that big muddy section on King Billy track (where everyone is going to spin tyres, get bogged, send it etc) I barely spun a tyre in three days of driving. Probably unpopular opinion and I know they need to maintain tracks for fire access, public safety etc but I'm not worried if the tracks get a bit chewed up, makes the driving so much more fun. I enjoy 4wding and camping being a challenging adventure, driving up and down very well maintained dirt roads through the VHC doesn't bring heaps of that. Back 15 years ago the tracks were much more chewed up and less maintained and so much more fun!

@@TylerThompson90 Thanks for the detailed reply mate. You make some very good points. FYI, the tracks in the high country will vary enormously over time. I used to drive/ride Billy Goats when it was twin track. I’ve also driven after it had been freshly dozed and was gravel road smooth. I drove it 2 months ago and it was the roughest I’d seen it in 35 years. Unfortunately, the Vic Government opted for a very “blade down” approach to maintaining the tracks since the early 2000 bush fires. By that I mean that they widened and smoothed every section of track whether it was needed or not. Completely agree that they need to let them become challenging. Perhaps using an excavator to repair individual sections.

First time for everything

@@TylerThompson90 hahahahaha

Yep sure is! Great area
