    A tip for the instant mash, put about half the hot water in then add a chunk of butter then stir it through, then if you need to add more water to get to the desired thickness,it makes it a b8t tastier

    Hi, thanks for this and your other very informative videos! I have a question- I have a 2017 T6 with 4motion. I thought it had electronic diff lock as standard... is this sort of part of the 4motion system? My van does not have the button you have shown in this video. Does this mean that I don't have diff lock at all? Or is your rear diff lock option for mechanical diff lock rather than electronic? Thanks

    Really enjoyed this Alex! Such a satisfying collection of shots at the end. Comprehensive tips! Two more: if you've got a locker and the bottom is round river rocks it can help with steady forward momentum in the case where a wheel might find a bit of a hole between rocks. And the 300mm depth is smaller than we think - carry a cheap timber school ruler (30cm long) and a permanent marker in the driver door pocket. When wading the crossing to check on foot, measure up your leg and draw a line on your leg, then you can easily see the depth as your wade each part of the crossing. Guess who taught me that one ;) hope you're still finding them. Safe travels.

    Hi Alex - thinking about for our t6.1 Trakkadu before we head to inland NSW/QLD in a few months time. I assume they do protrude slightly to effectively catch some stones that might otherwise be flung down the side of the vehicle(in other words they are not just for show)? Also, do you have the Seikel fuel tank protection panel? We have all the other Seikel underbody protection elements except that one and just wondering if we should invest in it.

    Hey mate. Took my T6.1 4motion on the beach about 6 months ago and was devastated to get it bogged, I realised after that I needed to turn the traction off 😂, had it back on the beach again this week and it absolutely smashed it no problems. We’ve eyed up a couple of other spots since and been a bit wary with entrances to the beach with super deep tracks and poor clearance, do you have any advice? Or just avoid those and find beaches with better entrances
