Bogged & Broken 4WDs in Australia's BIGGEST Snow Storm 

LOL only a toyota would roll down a hill with the hand brake on

LOL only a cruiser will die going down hill

I’ve done 990k on my other engine & I’m on 400k on this engine & live’n out near Bourke Nsw now & summer is like 45-50deg & ive never had my GU Coily ute Td42ti ever get hot towing trailers up hills & AC on & running 20psi BorgWarner turbo.. Td42ti’s that get hot have head gasket leaks..

Thanks mate! That means alot!

Being from cold country, I'm over snow driving, snow drifts, frozen roads, delays etc. contending with public whom have no idea, attempting to drive as per normal at speed, heater on and wonder why it all goes pear shape when they hit ice and loose traction, colliding with guard rails, other traffic or the preferable outcome, just running off the road, no contact or injury. For that reason I head to Qld for the winter months, and will be on K'gari (Fraser Is) enjoying the sun, Eli Creek, Lake McKenzie and sand driving real soon, on route now. Leave the snow to you young fellas, enjoy the cold, brrr. Love it, keep up the good work mate.

Thanks keil!

Thanks Brent! Its alot of running up and down hills but to hear you say that makes it worth it! Cheers :)

100% agree. Chains are awesome in clay conditions as well. I've never seen them being used in Aussie though, not sure why. I'm normally in NZ and I use chains often for clay/hard pack. You just idle up stuff, no wheel spin or ripping up the track

@@BobJones20001 most ski resorts require chains to be carried or fitted if entering the resort or staying overnight, that in Victoria at least

@@BobJones20001 they used to be years ago, mud chains where something you carried as a back up as owning a winch wasn't always an option at a few grand a pop.. Chains were 1/3 of the price...

@@BobJones20001 I was in South Africa and there was snow on the road (not even much - say a few cms). Car that drove there previously had packed it down into an ice layer ice and even the best 4x4s with large mud tyres were sliding off the side of the road, making it impassable - also there was a cliff to the side of the road, making it damn dangerous. But cars with chains (even two wheel drives) had no problems at all. If you go to snow, you have to have chains.

Dan's been out of action for the while due to the GQs overheating issues , but as soon as his got it all tuned up and ready to go we will get us all out for a 4by! 👌 Trust me i want to see his GQ on the tracks as much as you guys!!

@@AussieArvos overheating in a GQ? Surely not.... :-)

Also good back up plan

Thanks mate! That's really means alot! :)

Sounded like a rod out the block lol

which reminds me, i must send off for a sticker (never sent off for a sticker etc off any channel.. yours will be the first)

New combinstion switch by the sound of it

Where did you get that information? Tracks & trails can and do get closed seasonally, obviously if it's gated it's off limits but otherwise check with the responsible management authority if in doubt.

@@SpectreOZ I’ll try and find information and send it to you

Petrol and diesel use a switching solenoid to change the path of flow from either the main or sub tank. If yours is pumping fuel from the sub to the main, then I'd say you have a solenoid issue and should look at replacing it as that's not how the fuel system is supposed to operate. The sub-tank button should only use fuel from the sub tank, not fill the main tank. 🤠👍 Edit: Petrol and diesel could operate differently, but that's how the diesel operates.

@@OzTrax4X4 Models with the 1FZ-FE engines (ie. 4.5L Petrol) & sub-tank, like mine doesn't work like the diesel models. On my LC80, pressing the Sub-Fuel Tank Switch, will pump fuel from the sub-tank into the main tank. It will automatically stop when the transfer is complete (or if manually stopped). The fuel transfer is reflected on the fuel gauges of both tanks (ie. sub-tank fuel gauge needle decreases, as the main tank needle increases). This process is also covered in the owner's manual (page 134).

@@HammerRocksinteresting. I have the FSM here which is for FZJ/HZJ/HDJ models and it shows that the two solenoids change the flow from the tanks and they don't flow into each other when the sub tank is switched on, it just changes the path of the main and return solenoids to the tank you're using. Happy to flick you the pic I took today if you contact me over on Insta or Facebook to show that. I'd find that strange that it pumps from one to the other, as if you put a hole in your main tank, you're kinda screwed in that sense. 🤔

@@HammerRocks This is exactly how my 80 Series main & sub-tank works. The engine only draws fuel from the main tank, and you'll need to turn-on the sub-tank fuel switch to transfer fuel from the sub-tank. I generally transfer fuel when the low fuel warning light comes on from the main tank. When at a stand-still, I can hear the very faint whir of the pump motor when I'm transferring fuel. The owners manual says, the pump transfer fuel at a rate of 1L-2L/min. And it seems only the 1FZ-FE engined 80 Series has this feature.

@@fatmanoverlanding Mine is closer to 2L/min, as it takes just under 30mins to transfer the entire 55L of the sub-tank into the main tank.

Thanks mate! Looking into it now! Think your on the money!

@@AussieArvos I reckon it'll be the return solenoid causing the problem.

somebody starts thinking,, how is that posible ? Australia will as cool as Sweden within 10 years

Patrick stated near the start that they aired down.

@@PeterEmery I missed that. Thanks

Yes, but he "hates Toyotas" so don't bother giving any advice, keep an eye out for when he sells it, grab a legend for peanuts (hopefully he hasn't messed it up with his ignorant mechanical skills).

Thank you! Yeah I've had a look at the factory service manual and working it all out! Cheers !

@@toomanychickens1771 What's with the terrible attitude?

@@Jez3134 he got but fucked by one of his chickens🤷‍♂️

@@toomanychickens1771 show me on the bear where the youtuber touched you 🤣

Yes shows lack of experience and wisdom.
