We BREAKDOWN on the REMOTE Birdsville Track. 

Good stuff, thanks

Aahh the memories. A few years ago, we were coming out of Arkaroola & broke the axle on our camper. The guys from the mechanics at Copley came out the 120 odd km with a Landcruiser & tandem trailer to pick up the camper. We were stuck in Copley for 5 days waiting for a new axle from Adelaide & the repairs. The mechanics were great & did all they could for us. Accommodaton at the downtown Copley Caravan Park. Very thankful for RACV Total Care - paid for itself 10 times over !!! An interesting aside, the bakery didn't sell bread. Go figure. Hope the rest of your trip is event free. Enjoy. Dave

First time I’ve seen your channel, good video. I did think I was looking at Forrest. 😂. I think I’d prefer the 80 series but probably heavier on fuel. Good luck with your next adventure.

The bit of wire hold the front right not good enough for ya? Really, that is what creates eternal memories, right now focused on getting things fixed, but in 10 years time.... Great episode ladies and gentlemen!

Camel toe pie made me laugh. Cheers

I just hope you guys thanked the boys that helped you out with the standard outback currency.

Make the Copley pie is absolutely fantastic glad you got to get one

Copley Service Centre 😂 Last time we were stuck there it took 3 days to even get somebody to look at our trailer. The bloke running it was a little volatile and apparently had a thing for throwing hammers when he got annoyed! 😬

"Just had a GVM upgrade before the trip and not sure if that's had something to do with it" ? Yes, yes it has.

Good piece. The YT algorithm popped you up onto my feed - well done. Date Palms are not pollinated just by bees. Do a Google search on Australia's best pollinators, it may surprise you. A Triple J Cruise from Kununurra will enlighten you. You may have had a bolt loosen somewhere, but upper control arms have a grease nipple and a rubber circle bit. They are your extra child. Like the Army, first parade service and a last parade service. In tough conditions we do a halt parade service, at any time of the day. Buy a DeWalt Grease Gun. Just sayin'

(I'm sure you know this by now?) That's an aftermarket upper control arm. Somebody forgot to tighten the pivot bolt nut.

Glad you got it all sorted, but if that happened to my Jeep Grand Cherokee, I could just image all of the comments. This can happen to any vehicle, so enjoy the rest of your trip.

The Birdsville Track is like a highway now. Its properly graded and takes a lot of ordinary traffic. It no problem for an ordinary car so long as you carry spares and water. 4WD not needed. There is plenty of fuel and supplies half way. It's no longer an adventure and is now the main route from South Australia to Queensland for freight.

The Toyota adverts got it all wrong. Should have got a Patrol 😂

🇳🇦👋👋👋👋

This is why I do not trust other mechanics so cool professionals they should be ashamed of themselves. You need to check every night and volt when you get things done because I do not trust them seen it happen to many times, so call professionals🤬👎

The Birdsville track is anything but remote, it supports a lot of traffic.

So did you drive the 500kms as recommended then went back for a cheak and tighten up... Seems odd that was lose enough to undo completely and come out. Hope they take the blame you coff up the cost.

Wonder what Toyota would have to say about this. Hi Luxes are supposed to be "unbreakable".

Its not a remote track,

Be having a chat to who fitted the upgrade. Not good enough
