Thats one thing I have never tried, Beach driving. Hopefully I will get up there later this year or early next year though. Love the good ol Delica cruising there too, they are based on the Pajero but with the convenience of a van, you see some of them really decked out for camping, almost living.
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
Top lil video mate 👌 Stockton is awesome, we always go for a drive when visiting Port Stephens. Looks like you guys had alot of fun and I thoroughly enjoyed this clip! Cheers Ant 👍
Well done, you knew what you were doing so you took your AWDs there. Those who plan to learn sand driving there need to do research on traction control of own car, momentum, Tyre pressure, traction boards, Rated Recovery points, safe recovery gears and training. Make sure your dream doesn't turn into nightmare.
2:57 What the heck is a tempreeture Gorge? You mean the Temperature Gauge.. it rhymes with cage. The only thing that beats the sound of a Barra on the Sand... Is a Barra Turbo ! Yeah I think its time for the RAV4 to be replaced with a 2010 AWD Ghia!
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!
I think the guy in the Rav needs to work out if he doesn't have enough power he needs to really use the right foot. If he doesn't have the Torque use the Revs instead
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
Our 3rd gen rav kills it here. we live up the valley. My channel has a video of it coming out of "The bowl". GPS -32.85633927838837, 151.83365616868218

AWD is the go I drive Toyota kluger awd it's just good as any 4wd
that's it - comfortable and super capable my dude 🤙
AWD is alright but let's be realistic low range really helps in certain situations.

it's a great stop over that's for sure mate 🤙 cheers! was a cracking time
good vid, your territory looks a lot like my susuki grand vitara. keep going mate you'll soon reach that 1k in subs. looking forward to the next one.
cheers mate the Grand Vitara can be pretty capable as well 🤙 lots more vids to come hopefully 💪

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

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
