7:17 the rescue of the gray landrover is great but in my opinion, it's no worth the risk of the rope to tears and hit the people nearby... besides that great video and awesome conent!
Trucks engine had just died so it wasn't actually stuck, so very minimal strain on the rope. If he had actually been stuck we would have made sure people stood back but it was a fairly minor recovery. good to hear you are enjoying the vids!
Bruv, get some vasoline, silicon grease or normal grease and smear some around the edges of your dizy cap and plug up any breather cap when you plan on running thru any deep water. It'll help seal up any gaps and keep everything dry. You can also smear some of that around your sparkplug lead caps (both ends) and any other plug you see in the engine bay. Old trick from back into the day. Know any good spot in Hawkes bay?
Ah so this explains where all the AA members were that day haha! Great footage looks like a lot of fun! Especially liked the upside down "Bugger" bumper sticker!
Hey mate, looking at getting a v8 disco, I know it’s not something to be worried about with a v8 ahha but what type of kms are u getting out of a tank out of interest? Cheers mate love the vids!
Yep, the deepest crossing I woulda had a couple inches of water in the floor by the end. My door seals are destroyed tho haha. It’s only when you stop that you have problems!
See if we did this in the uk we would ramblers (weirdos who go walking) and wildlife enthusiasts calling for our heads all over the media before sundown
Yea we still have to time it as to not disturb nesting birds as that is definitely not a good look but we are certainly fortunate to be able to still go out and wheel!
good to see the real trucks gettin it done, didnt see one modern, common rail, ecu, full of electronic crap and sensors ranger, navara, hilux, triton, bt50, colorado. these new "trucks" hate deep water, they can only handle tarmac and gravel roads 😂😂😂😂 cant beat the old school simplicity
Jesus guys, really doing recoveries like that with the Landy pulling that guy out? while there are people with children right next to you? I mean yeah, it's all good fun... But take some notes on safety in future. 👍. Keep people away when snatching etc.
The truck in the water just had a dead engine so he wasn’t actually bogged down at all. If we were doing any snatch with a decent amount of tension on the rope I can guarantee you we would have cleared the area of bystanders and that I wouldn’t have been standing right next to it myself👍
This footage is sooo sick can’t believe how deep you guys go 😎👍
What a cool bunch of trucks. The V8 in Lando sounds good in the water..... A bit like the D44 Range Rover on Rainforest challenge

How to 4x4 and go boating at the same time. Nice Video!!
Haha yea I reckon!!! 😂
Great footage, mate. I am interested to see how far that Honda CRV at 3:06 got, though haha
Mate that looked epic. So many different trucks too from daily drivers to crazy trailer trucks. Sucks I missed it😞😞 Cheers for sharing the day bro🤙🤙
Was certainly a crazy day! Ofc!!!
Ah so this explains where all the AA members were that day haha! Great footage looks like a lot of fun! Especially liked the upside down "Bugger" bumper sticker!
WHAT A DAY BRO
THIS WAS SUCH A BANGGA
Good stuff from Wgtn 👍🇳🇿
How far did the crv get?/
not far enough
A lot further than I expected!!!
Are there any tricks/ tips you can give us to keep the ignition system dry while fording water.
Yep, sure have a few, and will be covering it all in a video soon! Little long to type out haha 👍
So excited for this
Let’s gooo!!!!
Jesus was it new tyre day?
Its funny cause i reckognise these trucks from facebook aha
Exactly what I was thinking, my mate even went to look at the white hilux at the end chuffing out the white smoke
Are all of them Japanese cars?
What is wrong with your rover? It sounds like shot. I have three and none sound like that.
That's nuts.
Hey mate, looking at getting a v8 disco, I know it’s not something to be worried about with a v8 ahha but what type of kms are u getting out of a tank out of interest? Cheers mate love the vids!
If you’re not driving silly, generally about 400-450kms to absolute empty
Did any of the wet engines suffer damage?
Haha yea a few did unfortunately
Awesome!
anyone know if water gets in every truck's interior?
Depends on how deep of water you’re in and how good your door jams are
My gear stick boot not water proof.
@@jackgibbons9914 say we're in water that is a few mm higher than the bonnet, would water get in for that case? assuming door jams are solid
@@NickDavidGaming depends on how long you’re in the water for, water in your trucks not a big deal, just pull your carpets out and dry em off
Yep, the deepest crossing I woulda had a couple inches of water in the floor by the end. My door seals are destroyed tho haha. It’s only when you stop that you have problems!
How do I join??? This is where I need to be
I was surprised to see lando is a petrol engine, same with mine.
Can’t go wrong with the ol V8!!!
how did you drown your truck
Just a bit of water in the dizzy, once it’s dried out it’s good as new 👍
This shit is fucken crazy! We have nothing like this over in Australia
Haha yea we’re pretty lucky to have rivers like these, was a crazy day for sure!!!
dope videos Bro Keep it up !! Id be keen on a Collab some time
Cheers man! And yea I’ll be running a trip hopefully in the next couple of months so keep an eye out 👍

My three year daughter says those cars can swim.

I suspect the $50k price tag might have something to do with it too haha
@@sp4nrs some of these trucks have had 50k spent on them
