Discover Outback Queensland's Hidden Oasis | COBBOLD GORGE
Join us as we explore North Queensland's breathtaking natural wonder! This hidden oasis tucked away is a MUST see spot for your Outback QLD road trip itinerary.
Welcome to Cobbold Gorge!
Cobbold Village has everything a camper needs with toilets, showers, laundry facilities, licensed bistro & bar, a pool and powered sites. However, it's not exactly the camping that brings in the tourism - here you are able to explore the beautiful Cobbold Gorge.
The Village runs a three-hour tour that takes you around the Gorge (2km walk), across a glass bridge spanning a 13m gap over the Gorge and a boat ride through the rugged sandstone formations. Hopefully you can say hello to a few friendly fresh water crocodiles along the way!
Riley and I cannot recommend this place enough if you are heading central and/or northern QLD - see the link below to the offical Cobbold Gorge Website.

Bogged With NO Recovery Gear! Testing Crawl Control Technique WITHOUT Crawl Control
Переглядів 1,7 тис.Рік тому
In this video we intentionally get the Pajero bogged for a bit of fun to test the crawl control theory. Many new cars have a crawl control setting where it rotates the wheels very slowly and will get the car unstuck. The Pajero does not have this setting so I tried my best to simulate it using the traction control and some braking. This is a handy technique to know as it merely requires some pa...

How to Replace the Starter Motor on a 3.2 Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero/Shogun

In this video I show how I replaced my starter motor on my 3.2 4M41 diesel 2009 NT Pajero and what symptoms to look for in your vehicle. This process would be the same for any Diesel Pajero from Gen 2/3/4 (1995 to 2022) with either the 4M40 or the 4M41. This repair is able to be done by anyone who is relatively competent on the tools so don't be scared to give it a go! Tools Required: - 10, 12,...

      @outdooradventures92 taking the wheel off will not really help much as the body of the car is in the way of the starter if trying to go through the wheel arch. I did mine with the car on the ground and just went straight underneath it which is really easy to do, but you could jack it up to give yourself more room underneath but I had plenty of room.

  • @klauskainzinger9978
    @klauskainzinger9978 Рік тому

    I think vehicles with standard diffs at the rear wouldn't be able to do that, because the diff protrudes too low and therefore scrapes along the sand. Where as the Pajero doesn't have a diff scraping which is a massive advantage for the Pajero when traversing sand, snow and mud. Even on rocky terrain.

    • @desktodirt
      @desktodirt Рік тому

      @klaus kainzinger I agree that the pajero being independent suspension definitely has an advantage in this situation due to its higher diffs however I have seen this technique used on cars with solid axles and it did work. To be honest I think the largest factor was having traction control and a diff lock so that I had more wheels turning than an open diff vehicle would

    Need to drop the subframe without taking the nuts all the way off in order to get more clearance. Obviously the engine must be supported when you do this and body of the car must be on jack stands and have front wheels off car.
