Mt Elliot - Corryong 1st time in Low Range for the 76 

Yeah was a cracking day. The views up on Mt Elliot were amazing both over the Corryong Valley and back towards the Alps, nice to see some snow still at the time I was up there, September. Next videos will be start of the build on the 76 an d after that trip videos from our October VIC/SA Border trip that was epic.

Definitely true!

Yeah that's half the battle isn't it. I was tipped off by a local otherwise probably wouldn't have driven in either. Great drive though so keep it in mind next time you're in the area.

Thx Chad, appreciate the support for the channel. Just back from a 4 day trip in the high country, found the limits of the current setup I've got for the 76. Did do billy goat in the rain though, road bias tyres, no traction control or lockers, 1 winch. :-)

Yeah it's a really nice drive particularly through from Nariel Valley. Plenty to check out in that part of the high country too.

For sure, as you can see this is just outta town, and Bluff Falls is also not far from Corryong :-)

Maybe see out on the tracks one day soon. I have a 2001 Paj 3.5.

Yeah was a great drive, tip from a local out that way. I'd never been near Mt Elliot before but worth the drive for sure.

Don't know about the coil conversion, maybe, auto conversion was something I was thinking about but honestly getting used to driving the manual and really enjoying the engine breaking of the manual. Rear track correction of some sort will likely be on the cards, many say they don't notice it, I certainly do. Park brake upgrade for sure. Reduction gears I don't think so, I'm not really a technical driver and it's not really where I see it going. All will take time and $$$

They're just what the dealer put on for roadworthy, a bridgestone supercat AT tyre, very much a road biased tyre been surprised just how much work they'll do. Did find their limit on my most recent trip though. I did look at a 200, for me not an option. I'm not that tall but my height is mostly in my upper body so when I sit in a 200, even with the seat all the way down, my head touches the roof and I can't even sit straight. Not to mention I almost have to snap my head off getting in the door on those. Had one for a week as a rental when I had the paj and that sealed it.

Yeah it was about the same in 3rd gear in the 76 as the Paj. Size of engine, auto vs manual big difference. Rarely in the paj was I able to rely just on engine breaking on any descent, it was there but almost always had to use the brakes as well. With the 76 often have to give the accellerator a nudge.

@@OffTheBeatenPathAus really enjoy your vids , definitely one of the better 4wd channels in Australia

Thx mate really appreciate it. The long format I do isn't everyone's cup of tea but always nice to hear from those who appreciate it.
