@@olivertrevellyan9789 There's always a way to justify such things. It will come to you, I'm sure of it. I have always tried to frame such justifications in terms of benefits to the family. If I buy this (911, sports bike, piece of woodworking machinery etc.), the joy/safety/security/satisfaction/etc. it could bring to us all is hard to quantify... Works every time. Well... 🙃
Damn , but you're GOOD at that Young Man . The Old Perentie just Chugs along and refuses to stop . No " Mug Lair " antics , just thought out Lines . Not tearing up the Track and not hurting the Car (much) .
Mate, instant sub here. I can't tell you how refreshing it is to see someone of your skill level, with a well sorted rig taking on these tracks in such a controlled and masterly manner. No bouncing and breaking your car in front of pissed yobbos, just well filmed and produced off-roading of a very high calibre. I've done a bit of 4WDing around here, including Powerlines, though not quite as technical as some of this and appreciate the sheer steepness you're dealing with. Looking forward to enjoying the rest of your adventure. Cheers from Sydney - Dave PS. If you're passing through, get yourself to the top of Mt Bago - near Wauchope. There is a trail up the south side which may be locked, but a challenging one up the north side which as I recall is "Lookout Road", off "Nine Tree Road". I can tell you there are a lot more than 9 trees up there! The view from the top is amazing. Ping me if you want more details.
@@myarmytruck Cheers - yes, I worked that out just after sending it, but as you say - next time! It's a cracking drive, especially after rain. Not many vehicles would make that, but I'd put money on you in yours! Some very exciting angles to be had and a cracking view, as mentioned! Cheers and keep them coming - love your work. Dave
Mad driving, too pucker for me in places. Have a mate with a modded Perentie, which we worked on, so I know what they are capable of. Very underestimated and frankly, undeserved of Aussie bias against them, as are D1 and D2s. Good they have a low CoG!
My old stomping grounds, plenty of trips to MT Walker and lake Lyell and the surrounding area back in the day. Such an epic view up the top for sure, driving down is definitely worse than up it ahaha. Hope you enjoyed the area mate. Looks like you having an epic trip so far 🤙🏼
@@RovingBeyond yeah Lithgow was actually the first place I took the perentie off-road when I got it so was good to go back years later and tick off the tracks I didn’t have the ability to do back then.
Well for starters this is a modified Perentie, Stock army Perentie will struggle in these conditions. Strong arm steering has been deleted for power steering, I can tell you, you won’t steer this vehicle in its standard configuration. I know, I trained in these when they came into service. Not detracting from the ability’s of this particular vehicle or driver but it’s modified. Good video none the less.
@@KirkAnderson-l3i cheers I built this up from stock and ran the standard steering box for a long time even when it was on big tyres and it definitely took it out of me on multi day wheeling trips. Make you pick lines well before the obstacle though.
That track down to Alibaba's cave and back up is very difficult, been through there in my 80 series before, the turning circle of the 80 made for a few 100 point turns just like you found out too, I'm digging your ex Aus army Perentie too, not usually very keen on L/R 's but they are quite special ❤
@@fourocker cheers mate trying to show people what this rigs are capable of, I love when the only way into a place is via a hard 4wd track makes it way more worthwhile.
Mate im so glad i came across your channel. Subbed straight away. I'm looking forward to every video. Loving seeing a perentie going to work. What are those rims and where did u get em? Im working on my perentie and your steelies look mint!
Your doing it wrong .... no wheel spin chucking rocks an digging holes . Far too slow and controlled. And where is the billows of black smoke ... . Love the rattle and the turbo whistle .
@@myarmytruck so true . Nothing gets overly broken . Tracks do not get unnecessary ripped up . The most friction between two surfaces is when they are at the same speed . Good content .
FYI, landrovers are commonly known in Australia as (Landy) and Toyota's landcruiser as (Cruiser). Landys and Cruisers. Love em both but cut my teeth on s3 ex army ffr, and went onto an 84 Rangie after that.
Very capable 4wd...and great technical and responsible driving....well done
thanks mate
You know how to drive- great to watch! Geez that old landy chugs over obstacles.
12:00 beautiful mate!
IG follower!
Keep rocking!
Regards from the Swiss Alps.
@@luloadventure thanks mate🤙
What an absolute weapon!! Probably some of the most talented 4wding ive seen on youtube.... And with minimal mods too. Love it!!
Thanks mate, I appreciate it!
Indeed mate. Did you look up Perenties for sale in your area like I did?? Very tempting indeed.
@@deldridg hahah unfortunately I don’t think I’d be able to justify another one ontop of my 4 other land rovers

Bloke can steer! Top vid mate subscribed and waiting!
@@mattfix672 thanks mate the next video will be out soon 👌
Great video. I learned to 4wd on these tracks in a stock 80's Pajero, barely recognise some of the places now.
Awesome Val, great to see you putting up some videos.... Mark from Tassie
Cheers Mark
Phwah! Solid driving there mate! Bloody nice job at the cave! That Perentie looks beautifully set up too. Sub!

How good is a hand throttle… smooth as.

You need to do a rige rundown show us the mods youve done
yeah planning to do one after the cape york series
What a weapon of a Landy, Monkey Gum is a good track 👍

What lights are you running?

Yank crap? If it wasn't for us Yanks, you wouldn't have shit
