On July 29th 2023 the underwater driving world record was broken by the Mudcrab Landcruiser. The team drove the heavily modified electric powered Landcruiser 7kms & 30 metres underwater across Darwin Harbour with 30 divers rotating behind the wheel.
LCS 4x4 and I got the call up to make some express parts to help the vehicle do the crossing. We then made the journey to Darwin to witness history.
This video covers the underwater crossing itself and goes into the detail on, dive logistic, route & tides and gives and insight into the team behind it.

This one of the most Australian things I have ever seen 😬

@TheAussief1 Год назад

It is one of the most Darwin (or North Territory) I seen reported. This year.

@oldfarthacks Год назад

Hold my beer and watch this eh? The fun thing is that this is just the start. The next one will be across from Long Beach to Catalina.

@piccalillipit9211 Год назад

Have you seen the aircraft firing lasers and fireworks to derude Sanstrom??? Its even more Australian ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n1GEr8w5EAo.htmlsi=2AKRf2hKgdao2nt7 The most insane thing Ive ever seen and its at a public airshow

@Mr_Min Год назад

My favourite quote "My ex-mother-in-law is way scary than any crocodile or shark that I have seen.." Love it along with the typical Landcuiser handbrake rock.

@althejazzman Год назад

I had to rewind 3 times to hear that properly.

@FarmerFpv Год назад

Mother-in-laws are a whole different species from the rest. Very scary indeed.

@dean9503 Год назад

2 brothers who ran the Ampol petrol station at Warners Bay NSW in 90,s drove a Nissan Patrol across the bottom of Lake Macquarie from Marmong point to Warners bay. The Patrol sat out the front of the petrol station on display while being built. It was a petrol engine and had a floating pontoon on the surface with snorkels going down for air intake and exhaust. It packed it in half way across and was towed to shore by a barge.

Just heard about this on the Bob & Tom show today here in the States and this is awesome! As one of the guys on the show said, probably the first time in history a sea urchin could become roadkill 😂

@F7skillz Год назад

*on the phone with insurance* “What do you mean my tires aren’t protected from sea urchins!?!!”

@goodisnipr Год назад

@@F7skillzSir, we have determined that a fish put that urchin in front of your path. It was an act of cod, which we don't cover.

@antoninlee Год назад

Amazing! first thought that came to mind when the guy mentioned they did extensive testing at 100 PSI, first thought was... they were better prepared than that one submarine a couple months ago~

@jameshatton4211 Год назад

This is awesome! I didn't know if they could actually do this or not? I was worried but thought that it's possible? Good on them and all the people that have supported this achievement👍

@Eremon1 Год назад

This takes "Down Under" to an other level entirely. Cheers!

@ScottSillis Год назад

Well done fellas and everyone involved! Mate this is legendary and will put Australia on the map for many years to come! Looking forward to what comes next. YEEWWWW 🍻🥃🥃🥃🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👍😎

@outlawdingo3020 Год назад

Bloody legends, great work by all involved and the boys behind the wheel. My grandad attempted to drive a Volkswagen under water in WA back in the late 60s-70s but came to the same fault as the old og cruiser

@FarmerFpv Год назад

There is more Research and Development in this Landcruiser than the Titan Sub.

@SHOCKcustoms Год назад

Does it get any cooler than this? So awesome! The fella from the recovery channel with Christopher is a legend.

@DesignedandBuilt Год назад

Luke is a legend!

@fatmanoverlanding Год назад

Brilliant feat, and a fantastic result. Well done. 👏👏

@MarkReedman Год назад

Awesome guys. That was my first cruiser. On number five now. They are great 4wd. Love what you did.

@UnkleSi Год назад

While you're down there can you go pick up mh370 and there is carbon fiber sub in pieces too

@daddosjeffery Год назад

Go the boys 🎉only in Australia 🇦🇺🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻👌

@michaelwinters7415 Год назад

Only in Australia, onya guys, congrats on the win🍺🍺 👍

@badhabitz5904 Год назад

I know the next history breaking record for the mudcrab🤯to cross Cahill's crossing at high tide🐊🐊🐊🚙🐊🐊🐊

@istp1967 Год назад

I was in Darwin when they first tried it. That's Darwinian people for you! 😁👍👍

@Jack_N828 Год назад

Loved the hand break joke. They all ways fail on the Land Cruiser

@blacksabbath76 Год назад

wow ! unreal watching them drive underwater !

@RagdollRacingInc Год назад

Great effort boy's no one better to get the job done than your team 👍

@angurgurung5339 Год назад

You guys are nuts 👍👋

@rgb002762 Год назад

NOW that the crossing has been done . There has to be a race . THEN we can BET on it..That's the Australian way..

@pieman2656 Год назад

Mate I'm from New Zealand over the ditch, all I can say is get a bunch of Australians (good buggers), a random idea, a few beers and a BBQ and boom. The human spirit is one of the few forces that can't be measured and Australians have amazing spirit. See you at the World Cup may the best team win and the others continue the dream of one day, hopefully ours isn't a nightmare????? By the way I had shark for lunch.

@FureyinHD Год назад

Mad lads, comgratulations!

@joecarr9476 Год назад

Maybe filling the tyres with a soft gel with a low pressure rather than water would give you more tread, just as low air pressure on dry sand give a larger tread pattern. You could simulate that with gel and just weigh down the car with lead weights if needed.

@kadecampbell8098 Год назад

Gel is more dense than water, and provides more rolling resistance. Filling them with water while underwater is similar to filling with air while in air.

@holdenbrougham1056 Год назад

Well done to all people indirectly and of course directly involved in making this mud crab make it across

@bikerssupportingcountrytow6904 Год назад

Congrats, what a thing to do.

@skipmilligan Год назад

Well done everyone. 😁👍

@DOWNTOWN_AUDIO Год назад

I love this!! So australian, and also like, guys!! A freaking EV drove underwater through a harbour for 7km completely submerged! If that doesnt prove that theres a future in EV's then i dont know what else will!

@tadeuszmichaelwlodarczyk3120 Год назад

YOU GUYS ARE CRAZY BUT THAT'S WHAT AUSSIES DO FOR A LAUGH🤣🤣🤣👍👏

@bravelyHomoSapien Год назад

11:36 “about to go down in the Top End…and not in a good way” 😂. I see what you did there😜

@MattysWorkshop Год назад

That is absolutely shit hot, credit to everyone involved

@richardbugg6206 Год назад

Its great ! I love it ! , but why did (do) you need a wind screen (wind shield) , so underwater bugs don't fly into your face ?

@ValerijZviozdkin-mo7th 8 месяцев назад

This is very could be useful technology.Thank you.

@mrozboss Год назад

Awsome effort guys

@OverwatchSIX Год назад

As soon as I saw tires, despite them. I thought silty bottom. Any reason why not to do tracks? Bunch of R&D out there to have a track setup work. It's only crawling anyways.

@TURBOTRISTO Год назад

great coverage rich! top video should do well

@JamiePineappleWyatt Год назад

you guys need to add electric to the title before mudcrab, I didn't realise it was electric till quarter way through the video till you guys told us, throw it in the tags too! You'll pull even more attention ;) This thing is fuckin sick boys!

@nmon9402 Год назад

mid 80s in lake Macquarie they drove a 4x4 under water from booragul to Warner's bay

@redhammer9910 Год назад

What a great story. They saw, they weighed it up and they conquered. Only mad buggers in the NT would think of it. Well done !

@87xfute Год назад

Well done everyone, thanks Richard. Seeya Rob

@G3YTZ Год назад

Fantastic Aussie's

@captinfubuki9728 Год назад

i may not have a Landcruiser but im happy with my lifted awd chevy express 1500 got it setup with a snorkel and a tank so it can go under running for a decent while but it is airtight so needs it ballast or it floats sadly i gotta fix it because some doughnut rear ended it but otherwise i think yours is the better option for crossing like that i bet the pressure would crush my van in and i would need a exhaust hose because at about 24 ft deep cant get the exhaust out but thats for a future revision

@bjorngve Год назад

Well It´s an open goal. If they had failed. They´l be the true Darwin-award winners for ever. Now car managed, driving/floating the whole distance. Still I´d say James Bond had the "Moore" sophisticated solution. But, you did it for real, Well done, 30 divers, you did it. Now you got the ultimate rain-proof (Japanese) Jeep.

Bloody amazing!!! Now I wonder who, where, when will someone attempt to do better elsewhere in the world??? Or maybe attempt to do the same but quicker, lol.

@WayneRankine-uu9qz Год назад

Upon reading about this crossing on a N.T Newspaper I was worried about live WW2 bombs that could still be in the bottom of the harbour, but apart from that, you guys have done great, way to go mates and thanks for the vid👍😁🇦🇺

@harrymakongwa1147 Год назад

Nice one 👍 I know you are watching this in the middle of the night 🌙, go to bed 😅

@theoffender3113 Год назад

Hope the windscreen wipers work

@ivanolsen8596 Год назад

Good ol Aussie Landcruisers, you'll find them everywhere, even at the bottom of the harbour eluding ex motherinlaws.

@johnnyboy1586 Год назад

I remember seeing a guy ride an electric dirt bike fully submerged across a river, even so this was amazing!

@barnyardbrio7597 Год назад

that's badass

Need to take it in some clear water, take some fishing rods with floats. And catch fish with a rod underwater XD would make for some great footage XD

Cool Ep

@sbfhawk4343 Год назад

YOu guys are F awesome man! I got to hand it to you Australians you dont F around when it comes to building some serious machines. Plus and FJ I mean it does not get better then that. It might be a good idea to pair up with Tesla and create a new submersible product
