Another great video mate.. thanks for putting them together and sharing with us, and not just the happy, fluffy times but also the serious challenges like this one. Agree with your appraisal of the situation. Dad pushed too hard for too long and that was it.. Really well done getting out. Goes to show why it's important to have the right gear.
5 seconds of continued stationary wheel spin is natures way of saying you are about to break something... I quote: "Unlike some of its competitors in this segment, the MU-X doesn't feature a rear differential lock. Isuzu says that its inbuilt traction control systems manage wheel-slip effectively enough..." Izuzu - I beg to differ :-) Awesome attitude from your old man though. Pragmatic and seeing the positives of the learning experience. Kudos to him.
Glad you enjoyed mate. Yep he held it a little bit too long. And haven't seen much of the traction control system coming into play in the videos haha, doesn't seem to do much at all
Mate! I've just got to say, that was one of the best 4WD videos I've ever watched! The way you both kept your cool, and just kept plugging your way back up those hills was a breath of fresh air to me. A lot of blokes would have spat the dummy, and or, gone to get someone to get them out of trouble, but your attitude and resolve was enough. I'm 60, and only just starting out 4wding, and like you dad, can accept the fact that I'll probably scratch, scrape, bend and break a few things along the way. But the rewards are worth it. My first trip was just up to Mt Allyn lookout with a short look down a side track which was fun, but as it got rougher I turned back for saftey reasons (only one vehicle), but it gave me a taste for more. Excellent editeding on the video, particularly the voice overs giving an explanation of what or why you did certain things. Another thing that your video has confirmed for me, is that my desire for a winch is well justified. Keep up the great videos mate, and thankyou.
Thanks for the feedback mate and glad you enjoyed the video! :) Was certainly an eventful afternoon out haha. Yep the winch has been a great investment for me
Hi Guys you did a good job getting up the hill and it takes a trip like that to teach you how to do it and with video you can sit down at home and see what you can do better next time and PS I spent 1 1/2 days getting up that hill with a busted front spring.
Thanks mate! Yep we definitely learnt a few things that day, everytime you go through something like that you learn a heap of new things. Ive heard a few stories now of breakdowns on that track!
@@TylerThompson90 yep and from my memory it started to rain at about 0300am the best thing is I was 30 years younger now I think it would take me a week to get to the top of the hill
Absolute courage Especially to keep the film rolling giving us a front row view the old boy took it great as a learning curve and carried on with faith 👌🏼great team fathers and sons
Thumbs up for the winch it did well. I’ve been 4wd driving for 37 years and your always learning and no recovery is ever the same. You guys kept calm and accepted what you had to do worked with the problem......great job ,awesome vid ,love the honesty. Keep em commin !! Ps is the diff soughted ?
Hey Tyler, After my son & I watched your video we decided to give Bullridge a go ourselves yesterday (bottom to top). Now that we've done it & re-watched your video I now realise how luck we were to get through. The track looks like it's gotten even worse from when you were there and there was more than one section where we struggled to stand or walk! Anyway we had a ball and that's the main thing, we were glad to see the end of the trail however. Cheers & keep up the good work.
Hey mate, thats awesome you did it! Yeah it always hard to fully know what the track is actually like just from a video, can be worse or easier once you get there. Definitely some steep and loose sections on the track. Cheers!
Great job with that epic boys, I really like how you all manage to look out for each other and the little fella while still filming, family having an adventure together, very impressed and subbed.
Great episode mate, it only natural that you will continue to look for more challenging tracks ect, breakages will happen, everyone goes through the same. I am impressed with how you and your dad handled it. Keep them coming.
Another great video Tyler and awesome effort getting out of there. I liked your calm and collected approach to it all, leading to a safe and successful recovery. Well done to all of you!
The joys of wheeling mate. Not all sunshine and lollypops! Great episode and great job on the recoveries. Hope the old mans diff is sorted and back on the tracks.
Thanks mate, yep things do go wrong in the bush sometimes, glad we were able to get out of it all good :). Yep diff is all fixed up and ready for more trips
We did this exact same track down the slopes... crossed the river into "private property" and continued to the main road. We even spoke to the farmer, which only laughed at us... saying the hills was "hectic" ... Respect for trying the climb back up that silly hill, but was not necessary.
Yeah the track conditions had got worse since I was there last. We did consider heading back down to the private proper to get out but then we thought if the gate was locked or we couldn't get through we would be completely screwed haha
Good video Tyler, don't sweat the twisted strap and stuff, we all know what to do but sometimes some things can get overlooked, especially minor stuff. I would suggest a new snatch strap after all that towing though. Keep up the good work. Cheers Steve
Really love how you always mention what track you are on and the routes you are taking. It makes it easy to determine if it's a track we could do with our given setups and what to expect. This is very valuable info, surprised your channel has not blown up yet... but given a bit more time im sure it will. New subscriber here.
Air Been to Barrington many time and I can’t describe how much I love it. Next time you go you should defiantly spend a night a horse swamp camp site. If you go for a walk over a creek/river you will come across a beautiful waterfall. And if you take the drone up you will find a creek ( that is if it’s not dried up ) BTW I recently found your RU-vid channel and I have loved.
Thank you! We've been a few times now but every time we seem to find more and more places to explore, such a great place! Thanks for the tip :) will check it out
Sometimes in situations like you faced with your Dad, you have to do what it takes to get you all out safely. I had a similar situation with one of our five vehicles blowing a CV joint and we had to contend with rain coming in and making the clay tracks so slippery and some seriously steep and off camber sections and deep ruts. We had to do multiple vehicle snatch/tows with up to four snatch straps connected to get him out and a bit of winching (but not as much as you guys had). It certainly was physically and mentally taxing and took several hours before we got him back to camp. Two of our TD42 Patrols had twin lockers (one of which was mine) and we still struggled for traction in the slippery clay. They are useful items but they aren't the be and end all when track condition dictate otherwise. Really enjoy your vids Tyler. Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks for the feedback mate! :) Yep they are always tough situations, that sounds like a rough day mate. We were very happy when we made it out haha we learnt heaps of things but and gave us more knowledge for when things go wrong out the bush
Brilliant vid mate. I’ve been really enjoying your channel. My 7 year old son and myself watch the episodes together. We’re planning on starting our own channel next year documenting and sharing our own adventures. Cheers. Dan
Good Episode bud, Only got half way through it so far and ive gotta go out, Cant wait to watch the rest later today,, ya dad just broke hes front diff,
@@TylerThompson90 thanks mate. Bit of a silly question but my wife and i are new to camping so wondering what you do about toileting when camping that remote? Is it a shovel and hole situation or do you have like one of those fols out toilets? Just curious as you are travelling with your son amd they sometimes need proper toilet facilities. Appreciate any feedback
A lot of campsites out in the state forests/national parks have drop toilets at them and we use them when we can. But other then that yep just shovel and hole in the bush
I actually enjoyed your video clip albeit that the engine braking was not good. Would love see you & your Dad in remote areas where U are loaded up to the gunnels with supples & water for 2 weeks & have to tough it out. Sadly, in most of remote Oz there are no winch points, U just rely on driving skill. Best to have a HF radio, sat phone or Eperb so that U can be sure your group will survive if it all goes pear shaped. Keep up the good work
Hey mate, it was covered under warranty so I'm not sure the exact cost but I think it was in the $3000-$4000 price range. He was very happy to get it covered. They just replaced the whole diff as it was completely screwed
Another great video Tyler. You really do take some great footage and have some very talented film skills. Pretty impressive you kept the camera rolling all through that, really gave a great impression of the experience. Nice to see it in everyman's terms, no flashiness, except for the camera skills. Be interested to hear the costs of repairs etc. Also did your dad throw a front locker in to replace the diff? Looking forward to more of your stuff. Cheers PP
Thanks mate, appreciate it! Im slowly getting better with the filming and editing the more I do :). Nope he didn't put a locker in, I'll have to check with him the cost but think it was in the $3000 price range including labour
Thanks for the reply. Yeah, well if you play enough sooner or later something is bound to break, nice to see your dad take it in his stride. It would be interesting to see some footage of some of the breaks etc. you get. Would be nice to see you review your veh. and gear and give some opinions about it. I asked about the locker as it sounds like an elocker might be cheaper than a standard rebuild. Did you say it ended up with a hole in it? I liked that you were honest enough to put a trip in where not everything worked. The footage takes you there, dust and rocks etc. I really enjoy your stuff more than the hyped commercial ones, more relaxed and feels more like stuff we can do without killing cars. You have a really artistic streak with your filming. Great stuff. Always look forward to your new videos. G.@@TylerThompson90
Yep I'll try and do some review videos etc over the christmas holidays on my gear plus im going to do a video on my 4wd. Yep the whole thing had a huge crack through it plus it literally blew a hole in the side of it and gears were hanging out, it was unrepairable haha. They replaced it under warranty which was really good so he didnt have to cover the costs, very lucky. Thanks for the feedback mate, we got a couple of big trips planned in January so plenty more videos to come :)
I could look at doing a video on it in the future mate. But yeah generally pretty happy with mine for the price, always done what it needs to do and super helpful with navigating when you're out the bush
If ya going to do the harder stuff consider a GQ Gu patrol or 80 series cruiser with lockers there about all there is with tough drive trains other than that drive accordingly some of the modern vehicles with good traction control will surprise you where they will go.
Yep maybe on the next 4wd mate. These ones get us most places for the mean time, we try to keep to the more moderate tracks but unfortunately you can't always know the exact condition of tracks ahead
