Deep & raging CROC INFESTED RIVER crossing attempt - do we make it? No fuel & water in the Kimberley

- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- If there's one place you don't want to have a breakage, it's in the middle of the wild and remote Kimberley. 😳
We're in the middle of a huge outback adventure… and things are heating up!
Part 1 👉 • STUCK IN CROC INFESTED...
Part 2 👉 • HOPELESSLY STRANDED in...
Right now, we're 12 days into one of the greatest and most challenging low range adventures in Australia as we attempt to re-open the mighty Oombulgurri track for the season.
🚨 ATTENTION MELBOURNE 4WDERS! 🚨Shauno & Graham will be back in town at the National 4x4 Show from August 23rd - 25th! Grab your tickets in advance & save 15% by using the code ‘4WD247’ at the checkout! 👉 4x4show.com.au...
After a late wet, the track is pushing us and the rigs to the absolute limit. With huge river crossings, bottomless bog holes, bush mechanic fixes & dense bush making the track almost impossible to follow.
Now, in some of the most remote country you'll find anywhere & hundreds of KMs from help - we've hit a breakage that we could never have prepared for.
Welcome back to the FINALE of our Oombulgurri adventure. 🔥

I'd love to see a detailed video of what it takes to pack and prep for a trip like this. Food , water , fuel , spares. Cheers from NZ
Great idea 🙂 👌
Experience how much fuel does your car use off road, how much food do you eat over a month, what parts on your car do you usually break, only way to work it out is to do smaller trips and learn
The smaller things people forget about is the like of haveing reliable tide charts, even for coastal driving, and knowing the climate and likey weather your going to hit
The mistake I always make is running out of bread, bread goes moldy super quick in the humidity but wraps last weeks
Also make a list of stuff you forgot when you realise you forgot it otherwise you'll forget again, if that makes sense haha
@fowletm1992 the worst is when you run out of beer
@@fowletm1992could make some hardtacks, they last a long time
Watching this channel grow over the years makes me so happy for you guys. I'm glad you all have found a career doing what you love while making money. sure beats the normal 9-5, great job boys
So true. Fab channel and these are great episodes.
Mat it's been a wild ride! We couldn't have done it without support likes yours 🫡
@@4WD247 Nice Video ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@4WD247 I want to go to morten island when I get my license with my dad (I'm only 13😂)
YA KNOW, ID LOVE 2 b able to go over to Assuie and be able to join Graham and Shaun on 1 of these trips like this...
Drove this track quite a few times back in the 90s when I worked for Striker Resources. I imagine you would have gone past where we used to pump water from Beta Creek and the airstrip at the base of the escarpment once you crossed over the Berkeley River. The track was more used back then with Oombulgurri open. You can still see the old Ashmore and Seppelt workings on Google Earth. We used to drive up as far up the King George River we could get then walk into the falls quite often as well. This vid brings back a lot of memories.
I truly appreciate watching you blokes do this trip. It shows how beautiful but difficult our country is. I would love to do this trip one day. Cheers lads.
You know it's serious when even the crocs are on 4 wheel mode.
🤣
You guys live in paradise bigtime. I watch all you do living in crowded the Netherlands with no off-roading and too many people.
Time to emigrate mate 😅
@@mauss9 haha cool but i am 63 y old a bit tool old for moving i guess
Never is too late
I found your channel last month from the flooded caravan video and loving them. I'm not even a 4x4 / offlroading person but it just has that top gear energy from everyone and they keep me engaged the entire hour long. Excited to watch all your stuff 💪
16:23 the drone hitting the tree 😂
It was funny😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m pretty sure in the last episode the drone almost got taken out by a bird…
Either that drone has had too many cans or it’s 9 lives are up 😂
Been waiting for this one..... Saving it for beers on Friday night! Cheers from North Wales UK. :)
Epic mate, enjoy!
True top end wheeling at its finest. Well done lads it never disappoints when you guys head up to the top of the Kimberley 🍻🍻
Awesome video as always Graham and Shauno. The Kimberley is such an 4WDrivers paradise it’s an epic adventure from start to finish. Can’t wait for the next adventure. Thanks for letting us ride along with y’all on y’all’s adventures.
You guys should do this track with the farm truck and G60
Love this show can't stop watching every episode
These track pushing vids are some of the best stuff
Absolutely spectacular series. As others have mentioned, I would love to see a video showing the prep, supplies and how you stored it on the trucks.
Epic trip fellas, what a place, what a team!
I loved that all the locals helped yous get to the end of the track. Great job guys
This series got me through long flights, my fav 4WD channel of all time! Cheers from Singapore.
Many thanks for showing the trip and these three episodes. I think the first show of yours I watched was this trip last year and you've upped the game and the team, camera work, sound and overall content has got better and better. Across the US in those recent trips and across all of Australia I've really enjoyed watching all these shows. These trips are great but I also appreciate the hard tracks with Jessie and Liam and also the van towing with Steph and Harvey. Well done all and all the best!
FYI, it's Steph and Harley 😉. Have to agree, this was an epic trip.
Great fix on the radiator fellas 👏 I did a similar job on the old Troopy at Drysdale River a few yrs back. Metal magic putty and cracked pepper and an egg for the win!
If the camera car fellas can spend weeks with you guys, they must be good blokes. Why aren’t they in more shots?
Get them involved 😁👍🏼
Because they're the legends taking the shots! Someone has to hold the camera 🤣
4 hours after uploading this excellent final part you've had near 53.000 views, and only 3200 viewers thought to like the vid before they left. Bloody sad in my opinion.
Myself, I've found this one of your most entertaining trips. Not as great a vista as some of your other trips, but the slog, the fixes, and the feeds you all had were brilliant.... In the words of the crusty old snowy-bearded dragon with you, SENSATIONAL!😍👍🍺
That's alright legend, we're just stoked to be able to show you our adventure! Thanks for the support 🤙🏻
LMAO Did you just call Graham an Crusty Old Snow Bearded Dragon
@@RedRabbit4230 I will deny that. Even if I'm as crusty and snow-bearded as him!😂
@@RedRabbit4230 He's a lot fitter than I am though. Be damned if could wrestle with a broken power steering pump through a lot of that trip.👍
perfect way to end a Thursday at work
We think so too!
The DMAX is the stand out vehicle here. IFS is always bashed as being inferior to live axle vehicles, but the DMAX was arguably the most reliable vehicle in the convoy for this trip, except for the power steering which isn't a show stopper. I recon if it was fitted with 33" MT tyres and a better front bar it would have been just as capable as the rest to.
Watching that dmax had inspired me to try some harder tracks in my nissan xterra. Same lockers, one in the back and then IFS but a much shorter wheelbase
The old white dmax used to have 33s. It did 99% of the challenges and never broke down.
@@ahoward2kable same reason i went from Jeep cherokees to a xterra pro4x when it was time for a new vehicle
@@mikef9044 I have a 15 pro 4x manual, I love going out with the jeeps. Only mods I've made are rock sliders, diff breather relocation, and a better front recovery point.
Sure except he only manages to get through a lot of stuff thanks to sootty or one of the other bigger vehicles
Hell of a good trip boys. I just love getting to see Australia like this.
The word 'epic' gets thrown around a lot, but I think it's truly the only word to describe this! Good on you lot for persevering. Can't think of anything remotely like it here in the states. 🏁
Beer batter is the best IMO. Live in Florida (wish I was there) we deep fry Snook, red fish, Trigger fish. With shrimp and hush puppies. I would love to take a vacation in Australia my dream vacation. You guys are the best keep up the good work and all ways keep head on a swivel!👍👍👍😎
This trip was amazing and very couragous. Million salutes to you all from Pakistan. Stay safe. I always love watching your videos. Cheers, and God bless you all 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Thank you all. This is the same Melinda, that sent you a long thank you comment, on your previous video of this trip a couple of weeks ago 😁 I thoroughly, enjoyed this. I was with you guys in spirit.
I've had to do a similar repair to my old Hilux radiator. That repair was still holding after two years and was still there when I traded it in on my Colorado. I still carry similar putty everywhere!
One thing that sold me on choosing the Colorado was the fact that the alternator is mounted up high on the motor, well away from water or mud!
Awesome adventure. Loved it as much as the last time I saw you guys do it. The only thing missing from this trip was Ronnie, despite his small cameo at the start. A trip on his country deserves his perspective...and his humour!!!!!
So far, my favorite trip is my trip home from work and watching your channel to relax.☕️😌👍💯
Im always here for the quick bush fixes, especially that radiator patch! Brilliant team work!
Each trip surpasses the previous one!!! Rising up the bar, dream job mates!!! Cheers from Guatemala Central America 🤙🏼
These boys really bring the meaning to “brush fix” 😂🇺🇸🤝
Proper bush mechanics 🍻
when they say how low in supplies and worried they are but continue to bring out beers hahaha so good
This is my favourite series out of everything you’ve done. Great trip, great presenters, but gotta also give credit to the camera crew and editors… the way they told this story was a big part of what made it so good.
Great job boys, only have had my license for 7 months at 17 years of age and got me first car, a 2001 turbo diesel Pajero. Have gone on a couple camping trips. You guys inspire me so much that one day I can make a trip like this happen with an even better rig and some mates. Keep up the good work guys the videos mean so much more than you could ever even imagine!!!
Legendary trip boys! Love it! Thanks for taking us along! Inspirational!
Been refreshing for dayyyys for this next ep 💪🏽
Amazing! Thanks for sharing the adventure.
no food but beer never ends😂😂😂
Never 🤣
I always worry that they’ll run out of beer, but miraculously, they never do!
All I can say is your show, and your passion for 4x4, is!! infectious.
BLOODY EPIC BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Mits should build something with coils, gu, chopped 80 or 105 with their tray/canopy would be mint 🤙🏻
Always keep some kneedit on board. That stuff is amazing.
My opinion, the best video you guys have done. Exciting from the very start and much impressed with the those bush fixes. Missed the outtakes. 😊
Epic boys, fantastic effort and trip.🤘
Last river looked sus until ya got into her, we don't have Salty's and Freshies ,Croc's 😜, we do have Croc's like Graham's however, good or bad!🤣
Like the grey hairs Shawno🇦🇺🤘love to see the 20 garbage bags full of empty tinnies
Absolutely amazing...got to be the best trip I've seen you guys do. With all the things that went wrong and you guys just kept pushing through. WELL DONE BOYS!
The missus asked me which of these 4 vehicles I'd chose to travel around...Definitely going for that isuzu. 80 series is a bit old for me. 200 series is a big girl, and to access that alternator took a good minute. And the 79 series, too heavy and expensive.
100%
Why not the patrol not a computer in sight to fail
@putrol4.2 also quite expensive when compared to the isuzu. Plus here where I come from patrols are hella hard to find in good nick
Graham is Isuzu’s best ever investment
@@lukefountaina5126 agreed!
Every magnificent beginning, has a magnificent end, I absolutely loved this journey, thanks again for sharing this with us..
This is the best trip I watched and I reckon I have seen everyone!
Great Finish to an epic adventure!!! Thank you All Especially the Camera crew...Makes it feel like i am there Minus tasting the amazing Bara.
Unbelievable, what an epic trip! Thankyou for sharing, you don't get to see these remote places very often! -Watching from Perth WA!
This was 1 of the greatest journey I've seen you guys made I wish UA-cam had a love button cause I love it. Great work !!!!!
Amazing videos ! Perfect to watch in ur free time
Just started watching 4wd 24-7, and I'm honestly hooked! Can't tell ya how much I love these videos, mate! Keep it up, boys. Much appreciated, from Alice Springs
Fantastic series guys! Really enjoyed it a lot!
Made my night Fellas. ✌
Another epic series guys, thanks for that.
Whoever mounted Graham's stove so high up on the D-Max has done him dirty.
Absolutely loved this ! ONLY thing better would be that I get to tag along with you chaps 🙏
That was awesome viewing all 3 videos. What an adventure that was for you all.
Well done lads. Awesome effort to make it through something like that. Definitely want to do a crazy trip like this atleast once in my lifetime! Finding a decent crew is always half the battle.
I’ve really enjoyed these Kimberley episodes 👍 the Drysdale crossing was epic. Cheers guys.
Also I just wanna say, graham you never leave your mate hanging lol 😜👍🍺🍺
I maybe round the other side of the world but I love these videos.
The unsung heroes who never get a mention by name is the camera guys.
Another EPIC adventure - BEST 4X4 on the planet - RESPECT lads !!!
I'd love to do something like this. We don't really get much stuff like that over in the UK to drive. It's definitely on my bucket list to come over, see all of you, and drive out there credit to all of you and your team 👌
Always love a tour of your beautiful country, thanks for the ride along 🤙
I am starting to speak auzie. I have been frothing for this last vid. I am so glad to see you guys made it again. Can't wait to see your guys' next adventure. So happy you took us on another trip on the ombalgari track. Keep up the good work. 4x4ing fishing and cooking. What could go wrong..... on my end at least lol
Another great episode...
Ive never owned a 4wd, but I enjoy this content so much.
Your adventures are wicked
That’s always an epic trip that one and there hasn’t been a trip when one or more of these trucks have developed some sort of carnage. I bet graham after all that driving with no power steering now looks like Popeye. Well done boys on another successful trip through there especially being the first ones to do it. I can’t wait til you guys do it again 😎🤙🥃 cheers lads
Can't wait to watch this one will be epic!
What did ya think mate?
@4WD247 yeah it wad great such a great so can't wait for many for episodes of this epic show.
A trail fix I learned when I was younger is to carry a shaker of black pepper for radiator leaks. This one was big, but it probably would help anyway. The black pepper will be attracted to the "exit" and will help seal the area until a proper fix can be done.
Good on you lads on this trek. Absolute bucket lister I reckon.
the very best of 4wd'g; a really great show, thank you.
Good stuff boys. Best Series after a long day from work with a cold beer. The LC 79 is a rare Species 💪
Not sure any other group goes as hard as you boys, what an adventure.
You guys have single-handedly made this track number two on my bucket list and I live in the states
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this trip. My favourite UA-cam channel by far. Watching from Cape Town , South Africa.
A classic video like the ones that got me hooked on y'all's channel. Love it.
watching this video reminds me of the days growing up in the Kimberly and having some wild fun, keep it up!
love watching your videos! I'm a big fan from the U.S. Glad you guys recorded the camera crew vehicle. Keep adding them to future videos. Those boys are also getting down and dirty 😎
Great episide ..again! My dream trip? Just to return to my base camp on the border between Angola and Namibia. Getting there one step at a time. 😉
After that we can play but until I have made that trip every spare buck and every spare minute is dedicated to making the trip a reality in my 80 series.
🙂 👌
Four wheel driving with these Legends is a bucket list item for me. I’m sure no one from this group will ever see this but seriously.. spending a weekend camping with you legends is on my bucket list!!! To say it where I’m from y’all are amazing and love your content
Heading north soon to chase barra! This gets me so excited ❤
Have a legendary time mate!
@@4WD247 you betcha mate job fish on the boat but its a shit day outside 😂🫡
WOW!! That was epic! Well done boys, that was awesome 👍
Grahams face is the same colour as his shirt in that cooking segment😂. Another awesome episode guys
Amazing trip gents, well done. Its on the bucketlist for sure.
Just to get to visit a place the tourists don't get to go and to get to do it and wet a line with you legends would be bucket-list item ticked for me, Graham. Getting to see the country the way you guys do is a dream. The chance to build a car of your dreams and get to do this is another item.
That was beautifully said ☺️
You guys should so come over to NZ for a 4wd trip
this time i have a esky full of beer for this show
Haha that's the way!
My favorite trip that I've ever done is the one you are doing. I did the Ooombulgurri/Carson track in 2009. It was tough, but not as tough as yours. Oombi community was still operating, and they were keeping the track open so they could visit the Berkley, which was their favorite community trip. The 100 series we had got its sensors wet and had to go in limp mpde back to Kununurra. My 80 had a 4inch lift and was okay, but i used all my tires. The Oka had the best clearance but was dodgey on side slopes. Kalumburu was more welcoming than it is now, and Honeymoon Bay was just brilliant. I see they have pushed a new track into King George Falls from the Hideaway Bay resort recently (there was one in the early Noughties, too. ) so looking forward to seeing if you find it.
Top notch video as usual, well done guys, thanks for the awesome content you're brining us 👍
FMD brother, I don’t know how you boys just come up with the goods and keep going, time after time. Another great vid boys 🤘
absolutely amazing guys. Thanks for that awesome series
Loved it lads, great job 👏 💪
Good on ya Mates! Obviously y'all were gonna get out. And I'm waiting for the blooper reels from behind the scenes. I'm certain that y'all had the 'bring parts via helicopter' already set up. But, as always, you group of Tassie Devils, God Bless you, went and did it! Well done, you scraggly Awesome blokes!🫡👍🤙
It's out on our socials! Check it out
Hay guys another great show throughly enjoyed it, but if I can recommend one thing you should always take is a can of body bog, on the farm I used to hole the radiator of the tractor working in the scrub all the time, and some of the holes you could put your thumb through. I would clean up the area similar to what you guys did and then mix up the bog and jam it in, through and over the damaged area and it would not take long to set up. I would normally wait over night for full cure, never had a failure even under pressure and some of our radiators had up to five large repairs. There is also enough bog in the can to do a couple of decent repairs.
Well done boys that was awesome this is my favourite series l have watched my favourite 4wd you tube channel by far
