UNIMOG vs KOMBI - THE JUMP UP TRACK 

Standard tie rod mod for VWs is to slip a bit of round bar down the inside of the tie rod. Stiffens the tie rod up nicely. Beetle sway bar works well. Love your show.

Karstan, you remind me of my old man mate. We all jumped in a XA falcon back in the 80,s and drove from Perth to Darwin and back. He didn't care where he took it or what broke because he could fix anything, all because he wanted to give his family an adventure and live life in the moment. 👍

Man i love watching your videos with my kids on a saturday morning and this is the collab the world needs!! Both channels have helped keep me going over the years while i struggled with my health and given me something to aim for. I'm in hospital for surgery on monday, hopefully after i've recovered i can crack on with getting out camping with my kids like you cats!

Went out to the jump up in 2007. There was a rock ledge that appears to have been filled with loose rock. When I saw the alloy casings and gear oil on the ledge, I turned around. Awesome landscape. Totally unique. I love it how you both just persevere. Well done.

Wuhuu it's online🤩 What a CRAZY day it was. Was so much fun though❤️❤️❤️

Love watching all your adventures!! Such as inspiration to us start out vloggers - cheers the In between Dreams Team!

Exactly how I drove my 72 Westfalia when I was 18 yrs old. I took it everywhere most people would not. I drive a bj60 for the last 20yrs but I still miss my van. cheers!

Both vehicles are such characters, so sick. I had a good laugh at Karstans smile to the camera when he tells Zuri " he didn't have a point to start with"

You're gonna have to do a part 2 now. OKA vs Unimog or even Kombi vs OKA. Haha. Love the content fam, from your neighbours across the ditch.

Increíble tu combi y tus aventuras Desde Mexico soy su admirador Saludos

Great day with family and friends, one to remember. Thanks for sharing this journey.

Loved this episode. You guys crack us up. We’re at the jump up at the start of the year ourselves. Awesome spot. And once again. The Rig getting it done 👌👌👌

Watching you is better than watching movies nominated for nine Oscars.

Hi guys. I just realized I can hold my breath for about 7 minutes. Fair go mate, that was pretty intense. Saw one of those Unimogs for the first time, up close and personal up in Hamilton, last year. A bit of a beast eh?? Quality viewing there guys. Thanks for the upload. From across the ditch here in Nz, all the best.

Epic day 😎 Lovely content 👌 Greetings from south africa 🇿🇦

Another Brilliant episode. What a journey you guys are on. Unbelievable. Keep well.

So glad I stumbled upon this video:)

What a journey! I was cheering when you made it to the end! 😄

Another great adventure. Reminds me of my buggy days with my mate. We had two old beetles that we chopped and lifted to drive round the Arthur River Recreation area ( n/w Tassie ) with our young families.We only used bits and pieces of junk and other car parts to keep them going but they did the job. We bent the tie rod tubes often and a good tip for you we used to cut up old front sway bars and insert them inside the tubes before screwing in the tie rods.They are spring steel and support the tubes to help them stay strait. They may bend a little but not as much as what yours did. Also to remove the tie rod from the steering joints don't hit the nut or thread use two hammers one each side of the casting and hit at the same time on opposite sides of the casting and the taper will pop out on it's own usually but putting a bit of pressure under it with a screwdriver as you do it will help as well. Keep up the good work hope your on the road again soon.

I love the Red soil and rock , which we have here in Prince Edward Island Canada . Beautiful !

Goosebumps butterflies bring on 23 baby - can’t wait -so bloody exciting!!!!!!!!!!

They have certainly made the jump up access easy these days now it's all filled in. Beautiful country / islands around the area. Loved living there.

Fairdinkum your content just keeps getting better and better. You need your own TV series. Simply the best. Davo

THAT WAS EPIC!!! GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP AND EXCITING!

How awesome is that part of the world 👍 We were up there in march and it is unique 👌.

That VW still going! Great show guys!

Burrup NP now temporarily closed. The good old "UNIversal-MOtor-Gerät", holding up well.

I so miss that joint when I lived there I'd take my tinny over the jump up with the cruiser and head up as far as you go and camp Brings back so many good memories well done

hey guys out of all the off-road adventures in the world i think you 3 would be the most awesome people to go adventuring with, your down to earth you do things with the least equipment, and it all done in 1 wheel drive every other channel on you tube have big budget 4x4 builds with all the luxury but not you, you prove with a bit of guts and little cash anything is possible i admire your life and inspires me to hit the road as well thank you for keeping it real

Karstan you make me laugh. It is a joy to watch you and your playback attitude.

Great adventure guys, can't believe you, where you take the kombi, you got guts, and can't believe the little one slept 😴 through most of it, cheers 🍻 👍 😀

great video guys. myself and my son love watching the low light in action. i wish we could afford one

Wow! great van-licious collaboration! 🚚 🚐 thanks for the hard work to bring us your adventures to watch with so much joy! Cheers 🍻

I love the Kombi. Unimog is sweet too. I have a 67 split window and I am wondering how you got the lift you have? What size tires are those? I always tell people the vw bus is extremely capable offroad even in its stock form...

Guys the Kombi rocks as always well done another amazing episode love it 😂😂

I watched both channels.

Wow that was intense and you guys are the greatest and what great friends to have. What an adventure. So Jealous. :)

Wow that was an adventure +, major repairs on the step up, wonder if you's are the 1st. A Kombi out doing a Monster 4B bloody fantastic, guess you can see why the Hippies love em, it's a near go anywhere 1 Wheel Drive. Thanks for the entertainment & showing us the Raw Beauty of our Island.

Great video guys. I can't remember where ive see it but thereeminfo on line showing that some microwaves will shake the bottom out of them, sped up by traveling with 'stuff ' in the mw. We wrap our glass plate in a tea towel to protect it. may be worth thinking about....

Great Ep, that is what adventure is about, not comfort but overcoming obstacles and enjoying the experience 👍

How amazing is Zuri !!! Geez you pushed that old girl this time !!! Awsum comp idea !!! Crazy !!! 😳😳🤣🤣🥰🥰😘😘

crazy and fun!! love it, ❤ from South Africa

LOVE LOVE LOVE Yous energy!!! So freakin positive!!! Hope to bump into yous on the road!

Another awesome video, that Kombi is unbelievable. The Unimog is also an awesome vehicle but height of this one is scary. Loved this one. Keep them coming

"Hey farout" ! Havent heard someone say that since the smoked up 80's!

Oka time love to see you do it with the Oka

you never ever cease to amaze me where you can get to in that old 1wd Kombi; even better when you put the big boys to shame . Ya crazy pair of buggas !

You get points from me for taking that Kombi anywhere. Epic video. Really enjoyed watching. Cheers!

Miss watching you guys hope all is going well 😊

Wow, wow wow, what a day!!!

That was a epic trip! Love your kombi.

Need to slip some rubber pipe over tracks rods which sometimes helps with small shocks...just like we did on our rally cars.....

My god just realized I commented for this video on el questro track 🤦‍♀️ love you guys binging all ya videos so jumping back to leave a comment here to best bloody Aussies out 🤟🏼

Wow, competition brings out the ugly side of Karsten, LOL. In it to win I guess and the combi is a one-legged beast, ALWAYS!!!!!

What engine are you guys running in the kombi??

It’s cool and fun to do

What a great video , boy you both make that VW work hard ! Love your sleeping daughter how so sweet , just love your videos

Nice vid👍👍

To remove the tie rod without a tool, don’t beat the nut to death, hit the tapper on where the tie rod end goes through, once you shock the tapper the joint will fly out easy, one hit in the right spot, and to strengthen that rod Temporary, you can run rows of welds length ways, max heat, it will kinda harden the steel, making it slightly more Fragile but less likely to bend especially if you Quick cool it, unsafe but should get you home..

Thankyou for finally taking the child from the vehicle

Wow I can not believe that man! What an adventure you had brother!!!

The old air-cooled VWs do well off road. I've taken my FWD V6 Honda Odyssey into some let's say unexpected places. Was coming back up out out of one track and past a bunch of hunters going in in their 4wd, look on their faces was classic, I will admit it was winter but reasonably dry. You just need to be aware there's traction till suddenly there's not... Incidentally farmer we know, the Honda is the only non 4wd that can make it up the track from his implement sheds apparently his Mrs told me.

Man ledgenary trip Kudas to all of you nothing like a Karratha sunset.🍻

Great show 👍😀

Top episode guys, great job Done by all.

Great video guys .. keep up the good work ..

Great stuff, guys. but I think you could have been in trouble if your friend didn't have the welder, first time I have seen the VW on the back of a truck. great stuff, keep them coming. cheers O.J.

i agree with you it is best to back down hill ond you only start backing when the wheels straight

What an episode !! As I said before, one day the bus will enter a hall of fame .. .. .. and I suppose a special mention about the driver will be in der ! hahahahaha This one may just be your finest hour - keep well and hope u are sorted quickly. Hats off to the tow truck lad - a cold one on him ! Best.

Love your vids so much and you guys. Karstan, have you had those lesions on your arm and nose checked by a Doctor? I’m really concerned about how they look. I’m a registered nurse and hopefully they’re just mozzie bites or something, but if not please, please, please get them checked ASAP! Sorry to be intrusive but my husband has been exposed to sun all his life laying bricks and I’m concerned you’ve had some severe sun damage. Just a kind word of advice, no offence meant. All the best, mate 😮😊

Looks a little different from when seen it last! Used to be proper nasty rock at the top of the first bit which would clean up a door or 2! Good to see it more accessible now! 🤙

worked on the Lng plant late 80s those piles of red rocks are iconic even had a mid 60s kombi so gutless useless brakes and over heated but memorable

Hey Karsten and Maxine love watching each episode you put out i can't wait to start doing that I'm going to save some money and get a 4 wheel drive or Combi I've always wanted to do what you both are doing. Also i was wondering if you could make a playlist of all the music you have on yout episodes they are the best tunes .

you've just convinced me to get a welder

A mate of mine and i do surveys all over WA using a moggly and kombi . Would be fun to catch up with you guys if your ever in perth.

Amazing!! What a great team the three of you are.

hey don't leave the child alone and go away even just for a second love you guys

Wow! That trip was a bit Ordinary! What ‘s next! Good luck from Elaine Queensland

I loved this episode purely on the excitement rather than the achievement...lol

I only just found out you guys were on The Block (via YT algorithm clip of your auction) WTF!?

you wouldn't believe it i smelt the tyres burning while watching the video

A Stewart & Stevenson Pinzgauer 4x4 truck with air cooled gasoline engine and three locking differentials will outperform that Unimog truck anywhere in Australia or North America.😊 😮

How did the unimog get off the beach ?? Don't just replace steerarm uprate it!

VW build "one" T2 4x4 Prototype also for desert Testrides.

Where can one get info on the Combi setup, inc of what motor it have

EPIC.....! How long before Karstan craves drinking blood after that vampire bite on his shoulder....?!?!? 😁

Hey Dad. Hi Thomas

Unreal….just unreal👏

New Sub - loved it. thank you

What’s the name/artist of the song at 36.15 please??? Thanks for another awesome adventure vid 🇦🇺🇦🇺

i have watched a lot of 4WD vids here on youtube, but that was one of the best, so raw and real, you guys are crazy f%#Ks ,, hahaha and what a champ Zuri is, the only thing i dont understand is why you dont have 100K subs and way more views

Think your getting carried away with GAK. Good on ya for having a go. Better order a clutch while your at it. Luvved it, never say die, until you die.

14.24 was heart in mouth Moment.....
