yeah a big part of me was tempted, but this was after we got absolutely soaked with everything the previous night and already spent a fair bit of time checking out tracks - winch absolutely on the cards though 🤙 need to get a custom bar fitted first as there's nothing off the shelf for the Territory as it were

@@alwaysAWD nothing was available for mine either.

@@dannthenitroman all part of the AWD life isn't it haha - it's half the fun though seeing how far can push these builds with bars and such too

@@alwaysAWD just gotta get the grinder and welder out. And go for it.

sick that's good to know - will have to suss it out! guessing the 3rd gen might have a bit more oomph than the OG as well

all about being prepared, having recovery gear then giving it all a crack to build their confidence 🤙

cheers mate the Grand Vitara can be pretty capable as well 🤙 lots more vids to come hopefully 💪

mate was pedal to the metal, didn't look it but was steeper than the slope looked on cam and even with the foot pressed right down (was in the car with him on an attempt) just ran out of steam 🤙

@@alwaysAWD yep fair enough that's where low range gives less powerful vehicles that bit of xtra to do stuff like that. That's why not having low range in Territory makes up for it a bit with the Barra compared to the Rav

that's it, a tiny fourbie would have done it with low range but yeah just not having that oomph came into play. thankfully we had max trax so that made up for everything and was still a cracking day out

definitely a destination worth locking in the calendar mate 🤙 that Delica ate up the sand like nobody's business, be an epic build i think Fire to Fork used or used a Delica too

@@alwaysAWD I would love to build out a Delica especially a Long Wheel based version to give that extra room to make it more liveable. Harry (Fire To Fork) still has it but he has not been using it for a while. He was going to leave it on the East Coast but I think it is back in W.A now for some work.

that's it would be the best of both worlds - plus don't need a truck licence like the big Unimogs a lot of other people seem to be doing lately too. Yeah been awhile since seeing it on the channel, always thought it was a cracking rig.

@alwaysAWD yeah they would be a lot of fun and they are pretty damn capable with the same basic running gear as the Pajero they can go pretty much all the same places. I lo e being able to pull up for a night and just camp from your vehicle, no swag, no tent, no stuffing around.

@@OnCountryWithMick that would be the the main goal - no fuffing around with setups. big reason i'm a rooftop tent fan - miss my old one and hopefully one back on the rig soon. but yeah Delica well kitted out would be the ultimate off grid vehicle I reckon

gauge gorge haha too much excitement on the sand! loved every minute of it. haha or drop a 3SGTE into it 👀 that little rav is killer even with just a lot of right foot!

it's a great stop over that's for sure mate 🤙 cheers! was a cracking time

that's it - comfortable and super capable my dude 🤙

AWD is alright but let's be realistic low range really helps in certain situations.

she goes hard 🤙

great to hear your enjoying your rig mate! If you keep the mods light such as a 12V and under 2" then most insurers I've used in NSW shouldn't have a problem i find. I'd suggest a set of all terrains and ensuring your other driveline components are tip top before going a lift as well. If considering a lift just do 1" and see if you're really pushing it hard that more will be needed. I find that's more than enough for touring and fits any ATs wheels nicely 17/65/245 or less.

can definitely do the whole track in a stock Territory! Just pay attention to the creek crossing level and you'll be right. If in doubt walk it across first 👌

we saw a fox on another trip so there's defo some wildlife around! might have to wet a line next time we're across 🤙

yeah might not be a bad idea some overalls! cheers mate appreciate the support super stoked reaching on the 500 🙌 keen for more content over summer

great suggestion mate - i always carry snatch straps and winch ones in case so definitely prepared to an extent! but great idea on the hand winch! cheers for support mate glad you enjoy them 🤙 many more to come soon!

cheers mate good to know!

thanks mate! i'm sussing out a rear lokka since my last trip to Glasshouse but they don't make any front ones for the Territory so I'll see how it goes 🤙 she's a capable rig as is which is awesome

@@alwaysAWD yeah nice even just having a rear one will make a load of difference I've got a territory me self was thinking about doing the same thing and mucking around with it have a bit of fun

i feel just all terrains and maybe a small lift and careful wheel placement these cars can go anywhere - throw yours into traction mode 2 and away ya go 🤙 a lokka only ever crossed my mind after some crazy intense wheeling in glasshouse - otherwise the rig has been unstoppable everywhere i've taken it as is 💪

cheers mate!

bringing the city fashion to the bush haha

cheers that's what's it all about just getting out in nature and having a blast 👌 i just got Kmart gumboots haha they've never let me down (unless it's just user error and i go too deep)

thanks mate just trying to have some fun in the rigs we got without getting ridiculously stuck 🤙 appreciate the support!

just head to Rydal 4WD area and you'll get a good idea of it 🤙

cheers mate just all about knowing your limits 🤙

how good! rocky bottom helps a tonne and would be cracker seeing a Telstar come across

sweet as great to hear - the Rav4 is a cracking car and it's such a wonderful area to explore

thanks mate was a great camp out 🤙

cheers mate they're such a capable rig 🤙 good to know re: the fuel tank pipe too!

thanks! the Rav4 is a cracking machine 🤙

it was just the intensity and wind that was unexpected - just all part of it everything dried easy but not worth dealing with soaked stuff day one in 🤙

cheers mate that's it just know your vehicles limits 🤙

cheers mate! keen to show everyone 🤙

great tips mate that's true best to check your other oils when pushing the hard miles off-roader long distance touring 🤙

sorry mate don't have one on me! just know it from being around the area a fair bit 🙂

awesome vehicle mate 🤙 great choice. just shows that AWD vehicles are super capable off the road 💪

cheers mate! just giving it all a crack and happy i got as far as i did. yeah a winch probably got me into more trouble too haha

thanks mate bit of a Crown Vic throwback 🤙

cheers mate the Rav4 is a cracking car isn't it 🤙 will definitely appear in more videos as well!

hmm the Territory is a mechanical constant AWD (similar to early BMW X5 too) and works great - but i don't see why it can't work on other systems tbh. the handbrake just adds resistance to the rear so the car thinks there's traction again and then it provides more power to the other wheels 🙂defo worth giving a go! mileage might vary in an electric AWD setup but i'd be interested to see too now

@@alwaysAWD I have a old Syncro VW setup that uses a viscous coupler. It’s primarily FWD until slip. I’ll give it a try but it may be that handbrake locking rear wheels does nothing in this setup. Great tip nonetheless!

i reckon it might help because if you're spinning on your fronts, locking the rears with the handbrake (do it very gradually till you feel it grip - might make another video around off-roading AWDs specifically) would shift drive forward potentially. keen to see how it goes mate 🤙

thanks mate that's what it's all about 🤙

pretty nifty aye - like a mini lokka in some respects haha

cheers mate 🤙

cheers mate! best to know your limits and the vehicle too before pushing it further than it should 🤙

it seems to be an intermittent issue thankfully the lights but good spot! lucky my front bar took most of the impact which is good just ball about wheel placement and yeah avoiding the underside contacting

i've got a big trip this week so i understand the feels of trying to be careful 😂 good that you've given it a go that's awesome mate 🤙
