WE ROLLED THE VAN...and survived. Our trip to the Flinders Ranges. 

John, please continue to document your experience with your Grenadier. Your viewpoint is candid, honest and credible; minus the breathless hype of most of these "one-day, test-track" reviewers. Along with Ronny Dahl, your videos have provided a real world, no BS perspective. Thank you and please keep em coming.

What a cliff hanger, cant wait gor next episode!

Great video John Looking forward to the next one…

Hope you all are OK, a very enlightening insight to Australia. Thanks John.

Re LandRover section of this vid. I just spent a night in a fancy Italian restaurant , with my bro in law and also LandRover FANBOY telling me about all the repairs he had to do, that cost him a fortune, whilst on a pretty normal run interstate from Bundaberg. The Landy wasn't 30 years old. I didn't say anything about the hundreds of thousands of K's Ive done in LandCruisers older than his heap of shit. Including 2 Tip Trips, up the Cape and Plenty Highway over to Alice, All sorts of brutal rock and sand stuff, fishing The SE coast. Rovers; "If you want to go into the jungle, get a LandRover "If you want to come back out again? Get a LandCruiser." Ancient Proverb

Really liked the dog rock,it’s a lazy old dog that one.

The more you talk about the vehicle. The less l want one. 17,000 kays and there is corrosion, the door seals need replacing.

Sorry to see the tumble John. That can be very scary for you all, and I am glad you all seem to be OK. I hope you get back on the road without to much trouble and costs.

We camped at the Blinman pub about 35 years ago when we were travelling Oz in our 1964 series 2s SWB Landrover. We pulled in mid to late afternoon and had a few cleansing ales until tea time then asked the publician about camping at the pub , at about that time a big rain storm hit and he said I have a cabin out the back that sleeps 10 people but it is not quite finished yet ,just needs painting , you can have it for $5-00 . No worries that will do us as we only had a tent . So we are sitting at the bar eating our counter meal when this youngish bloke bursts through the door , no giday or how you goin and saya he wants 2 rooms for his family and the outlaws . The publician looks out the window and the rain showed on signs of easing ,scratches his head gives us a wink and says $60=00 for 2 rooms . continued our trip up through central Queensland to Cape York across the gulf to Darwin and canped there for over 20 years . moved back to Vic a few years ago and I still have the old Landy

Lovely Ep and places guys. My wife and I and our friends did a trip thought that area in 1996 we struck rain, Our 4wd and trailers had mud stick to them it was 30cm think in some places on them it dried like concrete. And as we travelled north weeks later it was still falling off up near Darwin. and into the Gulf of NT.

Hi John good to no you and your family are safe and well, a scary incident by the looks!! Great views of your outback country ,and a weeks too long to wait for the next installment 😅, get your skates on!! From Steve near Chester England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 where the Roman's once lived,. ( p.s. John had my Grenadier around 6 weeks now, and i absolutely love it 😊.atb.

Another enjoyable video John. Will be interested to see how the Sierra fared being upside down....prob didn't worry it too much I expect! Cheers

Great trip, albeit you seem to have put the ‘A’ into adventure at the end there. Enjoying seeing how the Grenadier fares. That fuel tank size for Australia is a real issue. Normally our aftermarket come up with a solution but I haven’t seen anything yet. To me those issues you mentioned are relatively minor especially for a vehicle so new to production. If it makes you feel better, when I was last at Rawnsley and Arkaroola it was blowing a gale for the whole time. Looking forward (well sort of…) to the next installment to see what happened. Trust you were all safe and ok Cheers

Rawnsley is actually a working station the caravan park while fantastic is a side operation. Rawnsley is our favorite place to stay in the Flinders.

Geez i dunno. Ive been in the auction industry for 37 years, recently retired. Over that time ive had new company cars every 5000-15,000km, plus driving cars of interest. My personal choice has always been landcruiser and now a hilux (to see if incan live with the 2.8 and auto before buying a new70). For the first time I feel toyota are taking the mickey out of their buyers. So Im snooping around alternatives. Ive never had a power steering issue in any landcruiser and ive had 40,60,80,100,200,300, 70s in troopie and 6 and 5x v8. The only warning light ever to go on was for a dirty fuel filter. Clutch in v8 70s were weak tho. Looked at the grenadier and felt the fuel tank is too small. Sonim very grateful incan watch your episodes and let you be the test case. Great trips 👍👍😊

I’m not surprised you rolled it .. going a bit too fast along that track doing the drive by 😳😖

Will do re keep watching! You may convert me yet

We missed you, John... We also wandered off into SA... On our entire trip, we never passed one Grenadier - see ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UsX1vEx8rxs.html. Wilmington is truly a wonderful stop... But, for the region in total - the boss did not know which way to look in the stunning Gorge areas of SA. Pleased you are safe ... J&K.

80 litres at the back of the van doesn’t sound good for stability

Your not first and not the last.

Why say step daughter and not just daughter. Kid is a kid

Blinman Bakery is excellent too

Fucking shits me they ask if you have any fruit you say no but they look anyway
