We join up with a bunch of Touyota LandCruisers to tackle one of the most infamous tracks in Far North Queensland - The CREB Track. With slick mud, deep river crossings of croc infested rivers and plenty of mud pits to try our luck we have our hands full from start to finish!

Thats where Jeeps excel. Built to flex and crawl.

@GATORADDAM Год назад

I could'a watched a lot more of that! That's what I call offroading! The thing I notice most about sooooo many overlanders is how much shear "stuff" they bring and how awfully heavy they are. Ok yeah, I don't do year long expeditions but really no one does. It's not like anyone goes out and doesn't resupply for months. Am I the only one that goes for 30 days at a time and all my gear only weighs 400 pounds, including water, duel battery, fridge and so on?

@BradGryphonn Год назад

The first time I saw the CREB track was in the back of a shortie Landcruiser with a rag top. We were heading towards Gold Hill, about halfway up the track from memory (I remember the turnoff being at 'Pole 86'). We got stopped by what used to be called the 'Jump-Up' or the 'zig-zag' I think. From the South it was that BIIIG hill. There'd been some rain and the little shortie couldn't get traction, even with fat tyres. We ended up driving around the long way, inland and then down through Bloomfield. That was when the Cooktown road from Mt Carbine was little better than a goat track in most places. Mt Carbine to Cooktown was upwards of 6 hours back then. Anyway, the second time, a few months later, I walked the track from Daintree village to Ayton. Took me two and a half days. Oh, and that same year, I walked the 60s era dozer track that the 'Bloomfield track' roughly follows today. It was 1982. The Bloomfield Track wasn't started until 1984. The track I walked had been cut many years prior in an attempt to move cattle down from the tablelands above Wujal Wujal down to Cape Trib. I believe they were going to barge the cattle to cairns from somewhere along the coast between daintree and cape. Anyway, nothing came of it. Fun Fact: The dozed cattle track followed a similar path to the track that the people from Wujal Wujal used to get down to Cape Trib and towards where Mossman is. I'm going to be back up in my old stomping ground either this, or next year, and I'll be attempting to take a 2WD highlift V6 4.0l 05 Ford Courier up there. I'll have a winch, and a rear diff locker, and I'll be doing it when it's really dry...but I'm gunna give it a red hot go. I mean, I used to drive a Commodore and a 22-seat Toyota 2WD Coaster bus up and down the Bloomfield track in the dry and early wet (before they concreted the entire thing) so CREB is doable. I'm probably going to make videos but I'm going to use the old V6 Courier 'Davo' advertisement voice for all of them. Sorry for the extended comment but I love the North and the CREB track. Many memories.

@ovrlndtravel Год назад

Great video man! 4H and sway bar disconnect is your best friend for muddy hills, 4L and locked is more for low crawl speed, muddy or snow 4H and sway bar disconnected. You can run 35's no problems with your JT giving you little more clearance. I'm currently running 37s on my JT but there's no need for 37s besides the looks on a adventure/overland set up in my opinion. Thinking of going down to 35s.

@TheRoadChoseMe Год назад

I can not legally run 35s in Australia on the Gladiator.

@ovrlndtravel Год назад

@@TheRoadChoseMe I found out by watching some more of your videos, that sucks man! Always loved the Australian way of overlanding but didn't now you guys had so many laws! But that 2.5 AEV and 33s might be the perfect combination for the JT

@jimmethven8074 Год назад

Great video, thank you. Do you think 35-inch mud terrains would have made a difference or is the wheelbase still the limiting factor? Love the pineapple. :-)

@TheRoadChoseMe Год назад

Not certain. I think a Wrangler on 33s would have climbed it, and I don't know what difference 35s (or 37s) would have made on a Gladiator - I've never driven one or experienced how much "less" the long wheelbase is an issue.

@@TheRoadChoseMe Do you think a 295/70r17 Yokohama Geolander G003 MT tyre would fit on 17x7.5 wheel ?

You will have to check if that's legal where you live - there are certain with rims that must be used for certain width tyres. Talk to the tyre shop.

It depends on the state, it depends on the vehicle, it depends if you get it legally engineered, it depends if you don't care about. the rules and be illegal :)

How the jeep is doing in terms of reliability, specially the auxiliary battery system?

@TheRoadChoseMe Год назад

Flawless in every way, I'm extremely happy with it. The Renogy system has been great, I never even think about it - it just works.

@scottgordon954 Год назад

@@TheRoadChoseMe "It just works" is the best thing you can say about anything aftermarket on a vehicle. If you have to think about something, then it isn't working as well as it should. I have learned quite a bit about setting up a vehicle for longer duration runs than I ever knew before from your channel. Keep up the good work, and the great adventures. I've been 4 wheeling with the same Jeep CJ5 since 1983 (it is a 1979) and while I know every nut, bolt and part on it, long term drives are a completely different beast than I have done. I want to start small and run the "Trans America Trail" with the ol' Jeep in a couple years, but even 3000 miles I need to prepare WAY more than a 750-1000 mile jaunt.

Cannot understand bashing your vehicle. If you were alone an broke in someplace, you'd be bollocks. And ripping up terrain not cool. Leave it better than you found it.
