One of your best vids yet mate, editing on point, perfect amount of drone footage, good music, and I think importantly Demi getting comfortable on camera was a huge one, great work 👏

@TylerThompson90 Год назад

Cheers mate

@jon.bennett Год назад

Totally agree, people make Ngkala Rocks harder than what it is. If you didn’t have to stop mid way the camper would have made it easy. Obviously when the sand is hot, dry and powdery it makes it more difficult than when wet, but momentum and correct tyre pressure is key.

@mikemorgan4670 Год назад

Magical. Yup, that's how I'd describe it. What a beautiful episode Tyler.

@brettyallop6018 Год назад

Another great video Tyler and Demi. Very well done to Demi towing the camper trailer all over Fraser

@thepigdogpigdog2770 Год назад

Nevermind what the dingo ate , just wear the bottoms and let those puppys get some frazer island sun and breeze and admirers! Regards Tony from Australia!

@travelsolo2677 Год назад

I love this type of content more than just winching up hills and the like✌️✌️😊

Nothing better than a smiling baby

@louwallace4139 Год назад

LOL how adorable your little man is pointing at his chin and looking at dad’s chin and he notices something is missing from his chin LOL beautiful bambini PS I love Fraser island

@colinstewart7859 Год назад

Awesome ep as usual Tyler and Demi. Definitely not a mistake taking the opus to Frazer (K’gari) you guys nailed it!!!! Was very impressed how easily you got up past Ngala rocks. Yeeeeeeeeeeewwww!!! GU patrol🤙

@sweetrider34 Год назад

i spent 4 days on fraser, did nagala rock 4 times, i ran around the whole island in my gq on 10psi 33's, 2wd most of it, certain sections were 4wd, i spent a good hr getting a massive amount of people through when they got bogged here, told them air down to 10psi and boom out straight away.

@ramblinonandon Год назад

Yeah..lots of old photos of two wheel drive family cars on Fraser from the 70s and 80s..let down the tyres and never really a problem.

@patelliott8724 Год назад

We haven't been to Fraser for about 30 years. We did it in a 1986 4Runner, 2.4l n/a diesel. We wish that we had the time (and money) to go there again. I'm hoping to go into semiretired towards the end of this year so maybe we'll get there then. Great video!

@ianweal3081 Год назад

Shocked to see GQ so low in the rear with weight. I'm aware you developed it mostly for wheelin tracks, but that usually still involves carrying some goodies, maybe need to revisit rear coil ratings. Dingoes, watched a trio arrive at Eli one evening, one grabs a "T" shirt, then it became a massive game of tugawar between three, when one solo gets it, he'd throw it in air flinging his head back and it would all start again, tugawar. So incredible was the behaviour, it was obviously well practised. In this case they disappeared towards the Maheno Wreck playing with the "T" shirt. So entertaining to watch, at the expense of the owner of the "T" shirt, sorry to say. Guess similar happened with your swim top, tugawar. I recall when you did the whole family thing on Moreton Is. and you asked for people's preference between Moreton & K'gari, I opted for K'gari as the west coast is just so devine, and not overpopulated with tourists. Now you'd have to appreciate, Moreton does not match K'gari + you can source fuel on K'gari.

@scrotumguts5139 Год назад

Fraser Island looks good on video. Never gunner go while you can't take a dog. Thanks to you Ive worked out it's overcrowded with flogs in the 4x4s and it doesn't need this keyboard flog to visit.

@shaunmccaw2911 Год назад

Looks amazing thanks for taking us on your journey 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@joeop5104 Год назад

Petrol 4bys are so underrated of road. I don't think I can ever go back to diesel ever again

@benwhiteman91 Год назад

Awesome video mate. Watching everything i can before my trip in October for our honeymoon. Cant wait to see epic sandy cape 😍.

@damiant5876 Год назад

Great video again Tyler. Loved seeing the kids having so much fun in the best place in Australia. Was really good to see Eli Creek running north again. If it stays like that maybe it will return to the size and depth it was 30 years ago.

@FoxMcScrooge Год назад

You're pretty lucky there had been rain at Nkgala. To be fair it's not really a good idea towing a trailer through there, especially coming back south. I've done it a few times towing a boat and it's not a cake walk. If you're not twin locked on 35's like you guys, on a hot windy day, you need to hook up multiple cars to have any chance.

@TylerThompson90 Год назад

Good thing we are twin locked & 35's then

@shaddonaghue Год назад

What an awesome video mate , maybe one of your best , it had everything from some good beach driving and some chilled out family time , doesn’t matter what car you drive this was a great trip. Looks like everyone had a ball

@TylerThompson90 Год назад

Thanks mate, really appreciate it!

@christinetim 9 месяцев назад

Very watchable and enjoyable video.

@craigjamm4847 Год назад

She's actually a really good driver, lots better than some men i know mate

@ianbarry9870 Год назад

Great family touring episode. Love Fraser Is. Must get up there again.

@gravyboatcookingandcamping9930 Год назад

Great video mate. I loved how you got the whole family involved. When you were saying how easy ngkala was I was quietly thinking you might have trouble with the trailer but it looked quite wet which is when it’s at its easiest. Well done to Demi for towing through it both ways. Go the patrols

@fyiaustralia9686 Год назад

Beautiful video, thanks for taking us along on your trip.

@benalexander9575 Год назад

Great video Tyler, I can see the kind caring father you are, blended families are hard work , but it sounds like you to are doing a great job at it , much love to you both,😇😀👍

@jessecosway8327 Год назад

Sick clip as always Tyler and Co.. great you get your whole family involved.. 👊

@Ian-le3bu Год назад

Nice trip, happy that all your work on the cars paid off

@malcolmhill54 Год назад

Awesome episode. Loved it. Well done with the towing Demi, great job 👍

@TylerThompson90 Год назад

Thanks mate 👌

@ABL973 Год назад

Awesome video and adventure there Tyler and family. I like that Opus camper Demi is hauling.

@neilbates8409 Год назад

Great video again guys. So family friendly 😊

@maverick2242 Год назад

Sic trip mate as usual, great to see the fam and the Patrol fam all out at once enjoying the adventures. Looking fwd to the Tas next 🤟

@ianpenrose109 Год назад

Awesome vid and information Tyler 👏😎

@joeop5104 Год назад

Fraser Island is amazing great adventure mate Great vehicle awesome content. Love your work

@jmac822 Год назад

Nice camp spot, looked like a great trip😎👍

@FlatBrokeAdventures Год назад

Great episode as usual. I found the whole of Fraser to be magical

@drgloverable Год назад

Awesome trip! We left Awinya the day you arrived - we passed on Woralie Rd. You did well to book those camping spots last minute. We booked a month out and were lucky as all the good spots looked full already.

@macshaundre7995 Год назад

Nice to see the TD putting in work, what a beast. Love your edits and drone footage, I literally drift away like I was there. I appreciate these videos. Honest down to earth, family orientated with all the adventure and off roading in epic settings.

@TylerThompson90 Год назад

Thanks mate

@greghammond7956 Год назад

Awesome episode Tyler! Demi’s a champion 👏👏

@richardwolski5899 Год назад

Great episode TT.....🚙

@UsoUnknown Год назад

Awesome vid 💯

@TheDefender1968 Год назад

Very good. A hug from Portugal

@ryantilley-general.shenanigans Год назад

What a blast! I'm guessing you'll be doing a long term review of the OPUS. All the running back to the camera must keep you pretty fit 👌👌

@HighCountryOverlandingNZ Год назад

Another awesome video mate

@chrisspies8123 Год назад

Nice vid, again. Frazer is magic spot. You guys got lucky with the Ngala rocks to get as far as you guys did as the sand looked pretty wet. But probably would have made it except for the other car stopping you part way up. Redemtion would have been sweet. But definitely catches lots out. I'm just catching up on this one now, with my daughter, who loves seeing baby Zeph. I'm glad you guys got to enjoy some family downtime before a busy year ahead.

@Wolf4wdadventures.576 Год назад

Both Trolls did very well, the GU towing the trailer did fine, just needed the right revs/gear to get through the nasty stuff... No need for a turbo, like some are saying. The GQ looks great ! Awesome vid guys. 👍

@JRCadventures Год назад

Love the video mate! Was there in Jan. Epic

@shannonginders5086 Год назад

Mate great vid that was cool, Demi does really well with that camper in tow!

@steveelliott7893 Год назад

Wow such a nice video and place

@johnpitt2742 Год назад

i read of a couple who were awoken by the baby crying during the night but it seemed to be coming from the wrong place, they jumped up to fond the dingo had opened the wall of the camper trailer and dragged the baby out. the dingo dropped the baby when they ran at it and fortunately the baby was unhurt. i have had them try to swim out to me while fishing just off the beach in a tinny

@rubenandrews2046 Год назад

Maybe it's turbo time for the gu😅

@Jayden.Dean25 Год назад

That thing would be off it’s chops with a turbo

@nicholasturner5159 Год назад

@Jdeano dean definitely turbo time for gu would've made it with ease without trailer but I have seen a naturally aspirated auto tb48 gu on limiter tow 2 modern twin cab 4x4's at once and one had big half cabin boat on trailer aswell at inskip point ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q8LHtfHQ6UY.html

@joeop5104 Год назад

Would love to see that.

@brendannunya77 Год назад

Why? It wasn’t struggling with power.... It was spinning all 4 piece of piss!

@richardg3335 Год назад

It wouldn't make any difference. Unless you want the tires to dig down to China. Power was not the problem.

@MicahBell_1860 Год назад

Great family time

@leonwayne7657 Год назад

Nice trip Tyler, Good vibes good fun!👌

@TylerThompson90 Год назад

Thanks! 😃

@gqwarrior6694 Год назад

Good to see the whole tribe out with both Patrols Tyler. Gotta get rid of those alloys though. With the wheeling you do, it's only a matter of time before you wise up & go back to steelies. Cheers man 🍻

@Wilbargosh Год назад

Tyler, all that running of cameras has been good for ya!

@johnevans8157 Год назад

Great video. How good is Hey Judy... thanks for the sound track.

@davidmilledge221 Год назад

Like the look of them old patrols u can make them look and go good 👍 this coming from a landcuiser guy , yep iv already put soap in my mouth 🤣

@Lee-astrololee Год назад

Fraser Island is truly spectabular, made all that hard work worth it Demi! Awesome family trip, looks like this place is becoming your favourite place. Fantastice camera work too Tyler, the drone shots surely are a must on Fraser to seem them damn big fins hahhahaha!

@TylerThompson90 Год назад

Thank you!

@HammerRocks Год назад

Well done getting through Ngkala Rocks. It can be hard enough just on a 4WD, let along towing a camper trailer. 👍

@christianho60 Месяц назад

Great video Tyler, love ya content. Still spins me out as to why mud tyres are used on soft sand? They're designed to dig and you see if when they get bogged. Suppose it's crazy to have spare sets of wheels for diff purposes😂

@paulsmit8147 Год назад

Nice one 🤙

@louiskudlak2256 Год назад

Great video buddy, loved it, great seeing people have fun, can't believe Zebs 10 months old already 😀 👍🏿

@TylerThompson90 Год назад

@cameronschenk5910 Год назад

Botha cars are looking epic! Also little jimny makes life hard not giving way to the bigger rig 🤦🏼‍♂️🤣

@stephencawrse9940 Год назад

Another awesome video Tyler did you and Dimi have a drag olong the beach 🏖️ to see which patrols better cheers legends ☺️

@harrysexperiences2412 Год назад

I really enjoyed your video but the music background was amazing 🙂

@MrTRA504 Год назад

What an Amazing Video 😊😊😊😊😊😊

@TylerThompson90 Год назад

Thanks! 😃

@andrewberg2361 Год назад

I was there for a two week stay just two weeks before you guys and could only manage one night as the march flies drove me mad .

@chrisellis9689 Год назад

Awesome trip with the family mate, great set up.

@richosroadshow2342 Год назад

I towed a pop top Jayco caravan over Fraser through the middle track. Only casualty was one tyre. Towed with a BT50 at the time. Looks like it wasnt quite that soft though

@ChaseTheWeekend Год назад

If you squint real hard with one eye you can see us in the background at 31:59 🤣 Great video mate!

@TylerThompson90 Год назад

🤣

@pullingguard1527 Год назад

Hey mate, Would love a budget video for a trip like this. Especially with fuel. Considering buying a tb 48 but very curious with how it goes on an island.😊

@graybalz Год назад

Good video bud

@BenMitro Год назад

Shark after fish and kids. :( Thanks for that. I'm hoping to visit K'gari (hard to get used to) with my camper too.

@geoffodger Год назад

Looks great I’ve been to Fraser twice but haven’t headed over to the west side looks like I’ll be doing next time I’m over there

@TylerThompson90 Год назад

It's amazing!

@johnpitt2742 Год назад

i only have used my winch 4 time in the time i have had it. have never downed the tire pressure they were only for others at inskip point. the first was the ranger

@Mosesk1988 Год назад

Hey mate a tip with the camper towing on beach soft sand. Make sure the wheels track the same as whats on the tow vehicle.. kinda same situation as how 79series have a narrow rear diff and crab walk get bogged all the time.

@TylerThompson90 Год назад

Cheers mate

@pmmalg Год назад

What a brilliant video, loved it. How much extra time did the set up shots and drone footage add to your travel time?

@chrisbrady537 Год назад

Hey Tyler, great video, looks like fun. What underbody cleanup do you put the vehicles through after a trip like this ?

@smallaam6191 Год назад

Can’t wait for the GU turbo build for towing

@YehShano Год назад

What was the Northern exit/entry of Ngkala like mate, we were there a few days ago and turned around at the ‘midpoint’ spot you stopped, the exit to the beach there was like a drop off but we didn’t go straight to see what the other exits were like

@gazaszone1802 9 месяцев назад

Great video mate as always 🤙🏼 how do you like the sun awning on the opus , im tossing up buying one as the hole annex is a bit bulkier and sometimes I don't need it but want shade.

@roadtrippinaustralia5721 Год назад

I also cracked 2 rims didn't hit anything they just broke from the corrugations when I took the opus to Cape York August last year

@ryanstewart8836 Год назад

mate the GQ is looking shmick!

@chir0pter Год назад

Maybe steel rims are a good idea on camper trailers, since you're probably not likely to spring for robust premium alloy trailer wheels?

@td42dirtygq Год назад

What a beautiful episode mate with the family well done 👍🍻 how the gq patrol going with fule and egt love to know

@TylerThompson90 Год назад

About 15L per hundred on road, haven't done any off-road fuel tests. EGT's are good

@anandasharma1041 Год назад

Awesome video. Loved it. Please the name of the band/singer at 2.45 Please 🙏
