So guys this is Joel's car before it's tinted.
It doesn't say four-wheel drive, track's closed.
Oh damn.
No four-wheel being out here Benny.
Who's got a four-wheel?
They're just gonna go around.
Yeah.
Lucky bastards.
Straight under the fence.
Two-wheel life.
So first track we attempted to go down or first road is closed.
Road closed.
Benny doesn't know where he's going.
Benny do you even know where you're going?
To be honest I don't.
We will find tracks.
We will sniff out four-wheel drive tracks.
We're off the road, that's a good start.
We found dirt and like little ruts and mud puddles.
There we go.
Okay we can go home now.
Must be a combo.
I know, it's a Barra.
It's a Ford.
Barra.
He thinks Barra are the world.
Yeah.
Barra.
I don't want to go up the speed.
Why not?
Because I don't want to slide right.
I think you're going in mate.
I am in.
I'll get out.
Are you just going to keep going?
Yeah might as well.
We are spinning wheels every which way.
We're not going to get out of this Joel.
We're winching in.
Oh ----.
What do we do here Joel?
Just hold off a sec man.
Do you want to drive this?
I think you should drive this thing your car.
Yeah all right.
AC.
So that's auto.
So that's off.
E.
Okay so this will make the throttle less responsive.
So good for low range.
Send it bro.
Go in there.
This looks like a bit of fun.
A few little steps there.
I think Benny's having too much fun.
We've just passed a group of patrols and one of them has already broken a wheel bearing.
The nav is still kicking along.
It is.
I think that's pretty good though.
I think we definitely need to do a bit more guard chopping before 35s.
The rear grabs on full articulation.
Does it?
But I don't have the rear sway bar in either.
So it's definitely moving around a lot.
This car just crawls like everything doesn't it?
Nice truck.
Blended by the sun.
Go forwards Joel.
Send it.
I'm going to get the GoPro.
This is a Merida Pat moment.
A few nav marks.
This looks fun.
It's a hell of a rock in the way.
That pumpkin's lining right up with it too.
It's got a V8, it has to.
It does sound good.
It's your driver's rear wheels getting stuck on the lip.
You just got to get it popped up on that wheel and then you can slow it up a bit.
Start, yeah, it was close.
You going to take the nav up?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah, definitely.
You want to do it?
Yeah, for sure.
Really?
Yeah, of course.
As long as we don't hit that, we're fine.
Yeah, that'll suck.
No, I might like I'll slide into it.
The Mitsubishi had a crack.
76 has had a crack, it's stuck as well.
It's got a fairly big drop in there.
There's a big drop on the passenger rear wheel, so then the driver's front wheel and
rear wheel are stuck and they're spinning.
So some lockers probably would have made it a little bit easier, but gave it a red hot
crack.
Sounds good.
Yeah, it's my type of one, I think.
I won't do it.
I like the car.
Which one have you got, man?
Black Lox.
The High Loxy?
Yeah.
That'll go up there easy.
It probably will.
Like the way it looks though without dents?
Maybe when I get rough sliders.
Yeah, that's it.
Yep.
Yep, keep coming, keep coming.
Right end now.
So far, so good.
Should probably get mine set up.
Let's see how it's done.
Well, I'll be.
I'll be a ******* monkey's uncle.
Well done, big fella.
That's the way I always do it.
Well done.
That way or you came this way?
No, we came from here, man.
Down this track here.
So we came literally up this way.
So if you're going to try and hit that, you almost need to...
I might be able to sort of drive up and...
Chuck your wheels in there.
Yeah, I'll see what I can do.
Yeah, keep going.
Right hand down.
She close.
Is your locker off?
Yeah, I'll probably go back, man.
Because if this wheel starts sliding across...
Left hand down.
Yeah, okay.
Now you're good to go straight back.
Yeah, I went up on this, man.
And then just dropped the passenger in that side.
Recovery point.
Yeah, you got it.
He's coming through.
Yeah, that's fine, man.
Keep going.
Just give it a little bit and you'll pop it over.
Yeah, keep going.
Oh man, are you in low range?
Lock is in, obviously.
Yeah.
So just go second gear and just easy.
Just crawl it.
You've got grip on your rear, so you're fine.
Keep going, mate.
Oh, he's tipped out.
Both navs made it up.
No winching.
Yeah, so far.
Mate, nice drive, brother.
Side step.
Sliders.
Just side step.
That's what my one did.
Do you want to get out, Chloe?
So you can come back about half a foot.
Do you want to record a video message for your parents or something, Chloe?
Yeah, go back.
So are you comfortable right now, like you know what you're doing?
You can roll back about half a foot.
Stop there, stop there.
Don't go back any further.
Good driving.
Has the Triton got lockers in it?
It's worth a shot.
It's not peer pressure.
It's just your turn.
Stop.
So your back right is going to come down shortly.
You're going to feel it slide in.
Maybe not.
Actually, straighten up.
That's not bad.
That's perfect.
Now I need you to go forward real slow.
You're clear.
You're clear, so you're over that.
So your back diff was brought up on the big boulder.
You're past that now.
Now for this.
Get it straight.
That's good.
Come this way.
Keep going, keep going.
Stop there.
Straighten up.
You're so close to getting up.
Keep going, keep going.
He's diffed out.
He just needs to get a bit of momentum and it'll drag it.
Give it the beans.
Yep, keep going.
Yep, perfect.
I'm going to try something.
Left hand down.
Now back.
Now back it up.
Yeah, you're all right, mate.
Keep going.
Keep going that angle.
Keep going.
Nice, man.
So guys, this is Joel's car.
This is Joel's car before it's dinted.
No dints here today, boys.
So what we're going to do, we're going to nose it up to here.
Yep.
This rock ledge is deceivingly deep.
So we're going to bring the nose up and just see how much clearance we've got.
You're going to pop the front wheels?
Yeah, pop the front wheels up.
Check it out.
If it's going to clear, we'll go up.
If not, we'll back out.
Let's give it a go.
I like your optimism, Joel.
I like your optimistic attitude.
Perfect.
Yeah, pretty much.
I was wrong.
Well done, Joey.
Going to do it again.
I missed it.
Yeah, come across more.
Right hand down.
All right.
Keep going.
Perfect, mate.
There you go.
Thank you very much.
No worries.
All good.
That'll do, man.
That's easy.
I'll take it easy, fellas.
Okay, so we made it out of the bush successfully.
That was a good run.
Good run indeed.
Once again, the nav has impressed me.
Did a lot better than I thought it would.
Ran into a few other navs out there actually today,
as you guys saw on the video.
So they did really well too.
A few patrols and even a couple of mitsies out there,
which had a crack at a few good climbs.
So that was a bit of fun.
Pretty knackered now.
It's a big day running up and down the hills.
We have Benny here helping out.
Howdy.
Doing some driving.
Doing some filming.
So that was good fun.
That was out at Labertouche.
Labertouche?
Labertouche.
Labertouche in Victoria.
So a lot of the tracks were closed today,
so we couldn't get down all of them.
But we found one, which was obviously a bit of fun.
And a bit of rock climbs.
A couple of clay sections, which weren't too bad.
But honestly, the MP just absolutely eats it up.
It really does.
Makes everything way too easy.
And yeah, it's good fun.
Good day out, guys.
So once again, nav did well.
I'm stoked.
We're heading home.
We're going to give it a wash down
and make sure we didn't break anything.
