From Cairns and done it way before you buddy in my Raptor...just not on RU-vid lol. Bernie (one of the workers there) is a traditional land owner of Cape Flattery and a good mate of mine. Next time you go there ask for him for a tour and he will show you the actual operation of the mine. Cheers

No footage, No proof 🤣😎👍🏻 It’s a bloody awesome beach for sure. Will definitely be going back 🍺

Cool video, nice drone clips. Did this trip in an overloaded Rodeo 16 years ago, with open diffs and no traction control. Definitely looks easier in places these days. Well done.

@thealterator 3 года назад

Part2! great video. Love the drone shots. After this trip, have you considered how you might cover the tub if the dust/rain/sand gets too much? I'm trying to figure out how to keep the tonneau with a tub rack myself.

@RoundTheFire 3 года назад

Im pretty happy so far with the amount of dust/dirt that gets in the back, I mostly keep things that can get dirty in the back, if not I keep that item/s in a sealed box/bag. Depending on what cover you have for the back you can get the same rack i have to fit on with the roller covers or if you have the canvas style you can have them modified at a canvas place to do up around any bar work that might be in the way.

Great video. How's the body wrap holding up. I find myself cringing a few times. Great trip

@RoundTheFire 3 года назад

I would have probably been heading home with my tail between my legs if I didn’t have the wrap on. It’s done the job for the most part, still a few sections can no longer self heal and need replacing after only one 3 week trip...🤔 for the money you pay I would have hoped I could have got a fair bit more life out of it

@grahamk5194 3 года назад

Back again, I mean do you have diff and trans breathers to stop the water ingress into those areas ?

@RoundTheFire 3 года назад

G’day Graham...funnily enough I read your first comment 6 times before I could see you didn’t add the word breathers...🤔 I don’t have aftermarket breathers installed on this truck. Generally I’m by myself so I’m stopping at every crossing to check depths and think over a recovery plan which gives time for everything to cool down before entering the water. 👍🏻

Hey Damo - what were those tyre deflator called? Still rate them?

@RoundTheFire 3 года назад

Mate they are called “Staun Tyre Deflators” I think they are awesome, little bit of work to get them set up at home if you don’t want to run the factory pre set pressure. I’m not a big fan of using the normal quick deflators that remove the valve stem, leaves too much room for damage of the stem seal.

Eric are you in Australia? I just did the maths you are averaging less than 250ks per week, is that right?

@ericlaroza2485 3 года назад

@@RoundTheFire here in the philipines and i probably do average around 250 kms a week due to the pandemic. Why you asked if I may ask? Tnx

@RoundTheFire 3 года назад

I was just checking as I have viewers from all over the world. I was going to suggest if you were in Australia with how low your kilometres are, you have good grounds to get a new replacement vehicle. Here we have 5 year warranty also a road side assist program that will cover you depending on level of cover. Also I was just checking the kilometres you wrote were correct for 2 years, the trip video you have put this comment on was over 10000ks in just 2.5 weeks. Thank you for your comment 👍🏻
