Awesome, the patrols unleashed a heap more confidence in you mate!
Well done, hurt a couple of pride's on that Hill climb 🤣
Up the bottle Flips 👌
ate up beeroclock no worries !!! twin locked for the win !
Great video, thanks again. My favourite part is easily the father son time, nothing better 👌🏼
I am so pumped you walked up Beer O'clock Hill. The look on your face and your pride on the table. that moment you know you have it!! If only you could bottle that feeling hey!! great video mate
Definitely was an exciting moment!
That meal with rice and what-ever looked delicious! ❤️
I notice that your confidence now since you have been in the gu is really changed. Such a capable set up car and it’s great to see such a good set up and has boosted your confidence and ability as well great work keep it up.
Harder tracks and more fun and time in the bush. Great videos and trips
thanks mate!
@@TylerThompson90 Maybe Yokohama Geolander G005 X-MT or Mickey Thompson Baja Boss MT tyres would be a good change ?
Good decision by TJ Jack not to follow you down that rocky creek. Can you get side bars for the rear of the GU? Won't that prevent you from opening the rear doors? Well done tackling that hill. You made it look easy. Makes me want to get a front locker now - even though I'm not a hard core 4WDer - just an overlander.
You made “Beer O’clock” hill look so easy . 👍🏼👏🏼
Kut snake flares
Awesome gusty drive. One of the best Patrol.
This is the sort of stuff where the 4.8 really comes into it's own! Looks like a fantastic trip! As for the flares, stock look great. If you want new ones EXO Flares are the best
Great video again mate!
Your education of that young man is worth watching.
Well done
Much appreciated
Did Springs a few years back.
Had a modified LN65 Hilux back then... great memories in that beast. Some awesome tracks in that park.. Heck your really sending that Patrol. Just repair and keep the original flares, them aftermarket ones don't look good... I would get scrub bars though..Great video Tyler. 👍👍
Looking forward to every Sunday night for some of your vids. Awesome again 👍👍
I'm really liking your Patrol. Its just so capable and your confidence has ramped right up. Well done.
Thanks mate!
1. Your son will never forget your camping/4X4 trips for as long as he live. He will remember you as the greatest dad ever.
2. You’re the only chef I’ve ever seen sitting down while cooking. 😂 …Please, I beg you(!), please, get a cast iron frying pan or two. Much better taste than aluminum covered in non-sticky plastic and slower cooking as it must use less heat providing more delicious flavors. Cast iron is soooo much better.
I've never been to a 4wd park, I believe there's so many more state forest tracks to explore, but driving down a waterfall and beer o'clock hill looks like fun to me. If you get the scrub bars you won't have to worry about your flares. As always love your work.👍👍 Two thumbs up from me
Thanks mate!
Great driving. Really enjoying seeing what the petrol Patrol can do. Sand I’m familiar with, but it’s great fun seeing the 4.8 automatic in these conditions.
Sunday morning cuppa time 🤙
EDIT: Yes to scrub bars. In fact, I think for you, they are a necessity.
Flares, anything is good as long as it isn't Kut Snake. They are ugly as a hat full on a patrol. Even stock flares extended an inch with garden edging looks better than Kut Snake.
Looks like a fun place. Perhaps a bit much for TJ or his rig going by his disappearance.
Awesome vid, this seems like a must go place with various tracks for all levels of 4x4s..
Yeah the bloopers 🤙🏽😂
twin locked automatic with quality suspension on 35s for the win 🏆
Another awesome video mate, looks like a great place to visit and good on you giving that waterfall a go!
Glad you enjoyed it
Epic video mate! Funny how kids never say when dad asks about himself but is the first thing they say among their friends. Keep them coming but please don't roll the patrol. There was many "oh shit" moments.
Great vid, just waiting myself to have the confidence to let my son loose with the axe. Fully stocked 1st aid kit ready. Great edit Demi.
Another great video Tyler really enjoying your content so much since you added the patrol
Glad you enjoy it!
The gnarly tracks you do , I think bar work is a must, if you want to save your panels . Another awesome video mate keep them coming 👍
Thanks 👍
Locker's for the win! Well done Tyler, good drive bud, kept your nerve and it steady and eased the big girl up....,👍🤙 Great content fella ...
Thanks mate!
Love your content mate , was about to sell my gu 4 tb48 but after watching your videos I just can't do it , pretty much the same set up without the lockers so time to order some lockers and keep it, thanks for making my discussion easier for me. 👍
no worries mate haha!
Luv your stuff mate, thanks. And I reckon Kai will follow through with this lifestyle, if not, he's had a great experience and gained a lot of knowledge
Absolutely
Thanks for the epic content! Always look forward these videos, Kai and yourself great combo yeeow! Keep up the mint work brother🍻
Appreciate it!
Awesome video bro, its soo good seeing you do this with your son 🤘keep it up bro 👌👌
The Springs is a great 4x4 Park. Highly recommend it and the owners are awesome. I also did a sidewall out there. lol. Great video.
Another good video mate can't wait for the next one what ever it is 👍🍻
Thanks mate!
Watching those 4wds struggling up that hill.... Son, HOLD MY BEER 😂
Fantastic video Tyler really enjoyed watching it the scrub bars on the front guards would be a fantastic idea it will stop denting in your guards . Your son is getting pretty good on filming. Take care looking forward to watching a other fantastic video
Thanks mate!
Good video Tyler thanks 👍✌
@Tyler
Just watched the first seconds of the video.
Your car is locking the front wheels going down those slippery rocks. Locked front wheels does NOT steer no matter how much you turn the steering wheel. At that moment you’re no longer a driver but only a passenger.
Next time, pull up your handbrake 2-3-4 notches. This will change the brake balance to the rear, might lock up the rear wheels, but you are at far less risk of loosing your steering. Try it next time, 2-3-4 notches on the hand brake makes wonders!
Excellent aperture 😝
haha!
Cool episode Tyler. Damage always hurt. My vehicle is currently at the panel beater for a new rear bumper :-)
Pushing it to the Limit's Let's Go! Love to go out and hit the tracks Gives us something to chat about back at camp. Do some research on Flares mate we push hard and unfortunately the poor flare cops the brunt. I bet that beer Oclock Hill has claimed some CV"s hahaha
😈😈😈 good offroad rig , up to the challange 😈😈😈
Love seeing these vids from my area. I reckon scrub bars are the go mate. Would be interesting seeing how much extra weight they add
Haha the smile on your face after beer o'clock hill
Bro twin lockers are the go
Dirty thumbs up mate 👍
Thanks mate 👍
Twin locked for the win 🔥
That was lotsa fun, really sending the Patrol! Hope the Misses overlooks the 'cosmetic" enhancements!
she's worse then I am haha
@@TylerThompson90 I know, but best keep that kinda talk between us. Lol.
Another awesome vid mate also was good meeting you in Coffs today at the bottom of the Widowmaker we were the ones on the bikes
Thanks mate, great to meet you guys too!
videos are sick mate, what a tidy set up you have ! 🤙
Appreciate it!
TJ didn't try the harder tracks 🤣
Hey Tyler, that Beer O'Clock hill is no joke. The camera does not do it justice. I've been there & there's no way I'd attempt it.
Great video as I'm heading there first week July gives me a good idea of the tracks🤙
Yeah set mate!
Yeah just chuck brush bars all round. Done it to my 80 . Made the chassis allot stiffer as well. Especially if you have A/M heavy duty suspension.
Looks good mate heading here at the end of the year now that Landcruiser park is shut for 4X4.
100% yes on the scrub bars. look good and will save you heart break later
Definitely getting the hang of the Patrol there. It seems there is nothing you won't try, although driving down a waterfall looks pretty hairy!
gotta at least try everything once. I don't wanna go home thinking what if haha
That's what you built it for and a great job you've done Tyler
Wow, I remember you did something similar, going down a near vertical wall in a much earlier Tassie trip.
Haha yep!
Don’t touch the flares it looks so good as it is. After market flares look rubbish! Just do the bar work and it should do the trick
subjective. i think aftermarket flaress would look better than stock. depending on the car, i prefer flares with visible rivets/bolts. but bar work definitly. if he dents a panel, he will hate himself for not doing it.
@@mmorgz6622 kut snake flares stick out too far and will get damaged easier and dont look that good my mate got set for his s3 gu and regrets buying them...cost $650 but everyone has different tastes
That hill just shows tyre pressure is huge
Beer O’Clock Hill - 2x Lockers are always better than single lockers. And you just proved it.
4x4 is the opposite of F1. It’s similar to choosing the right line, but that’s where the similarities ends. F1 is the fast one, 4x4 is the slow one. And your twin lockers proved it!
Always equip your vehicle for the worst conditions imaginable and you will have a vehicle that manages the challenges in front better than the ones who doesn’t have a similar understanding.
1 (and especially 2 lockers) gives so much more control at slow speeds in harsh terrain. Well done, mate, and congratulations to your decision of twin lockers.
Side bars for me not needed , for you most definitely needed Tyler lol 😂
You definitely need to fit sidebars on the Patrol, as you will incur body damage due to the rough tracks that you go on.…
Great video again mate. 😊👍👍
Thanks mate!
2 words Tyler: Cargo barrier. ;) cheers
I think TJ needs a teaspoon of concrete in his coffee
Nawww. Two Nissans together on Love Hill. How cute.
Can't beat twin(triple) locked with the right suspension combination
Oh. BTW, I have Fibreglass Replacement Panels flares on my 80. Look like factory, but a couple inches wider to cover the bigger tyres. They are based either on the north side of Brisbane or on the Sunshine Coast, but if you are going to keep using that Patrol as a comp rig instead of tourer, than maybe bar work to protect the flares might be better for you
Great vid as usual mate. That 4wd park looks awesome Love the axe. Is it new? Can you tell me where you got it, thanks.
After almost having a nose dive with your car, I would have preferred to be at the camp, drinking a few beers and a bottle of green ginger wine. Each to their own. I think the camp fun part is a real bonus on your UA-cam channel, a lot of other bloggers put the camera away and bring the turps out. But I can understand that as well, a bit of down time! Nice video
Thanks mate!
these tracks look like i need to take my rubicon there
Well, the cat's out of the box now. Where you sent to the dog house when you got home and Demi saw the damages to the GU? 😁
she wasn't too impressed mate but she's had her fair share of putting some scratches on haha
Bloody great video. You made beer o'clock Hill look so easy, it's twin locked all the way. What brand are your orange & white lights in the rear of your rig
Cheers mate!
I would be interested to see if the
Nav would do the hill
I swear watching TT in every episode,hes getting older and older haha
Definitely put scub bars on
Are you still running those wheels and tyres as Beadlocked?
Holy shit i remember going there back in 2001 when it was landcruiser park.
Yew…you legend you ate beer o’clock hill up well done and yes to more bar work .Such a amazing place definitely on my list thanks mate
Glad you enjoyed it
Hope ya pay 💰 the young fella well TT
Love the video mate! I'll follow your Mum's page for ya!
Thanks mate 😁
Time to get some maxxis razars mate
1 genuine factory gu nissan patrol rear mud flap cost around $200... not cheap.
Haha the twin locked na tb48 petty showing up the big turbo diesels
U should also add some merch called "my dumb decisions "
Been watching you for years now mate, one of the best 4x4 vids you've done, keep up the good work. haha makes me want to buy a patrol.
p.s what are your thoughts on Ronny's Video in relation to Mattys The Explore Life DPF delete?
Cheers mate! I'm staying out of the whole thing haha but definitely was an interesting move by Matt to publicly announce he deleted his DPF lol
Dumb idea but bloody good mate 👍 🏴
all the dumb ideas are the funnest
What is the material you are using to ignite the flint sparks on? Is it a commercial product or is it something you’ve made?
It from Zippo mate
And on the next episode of "Tyler loses a finger chopping wood" 🤣🤣🤣
haha, demi always winces at that
12psi straight up !! wow !!
ahh bugger broken mud flap and split tyre on the sidewall !! good to see the plug kit come out !
those flares break the clips off all the time . annoying
yes u should get the arb scrub bars or a custom fabrication . real tourer spec then . not really a fan of the big cut snake flares guards
I think reduction gears for you also coz petrol engine needs big revs to get the power and you like to try and crawl everything and then rely on your lockers with a bit of pace to get you up .. not sure what the best ratio would be eg 87% 52% etc
jeeze u did beer o clock hill so easy !! I think the suspension worked well there !
full exo skeleton!!!
EXO-Flares are the way to go have a life time warranty. A guy in Sydney makes them if you break one he will send you a brand new one
For all your modifications on your GU which look great why no cargo barrier
Just seems like a no brainer as a safety device
Especially with you boy being along side you
Seen too many near misses with luggage and recovery gear flying around in the the cabin in the advent of a roll over or sudden stop
EXO Flares if you want strong and good looking. Avoid the grunt and similar style, too brittle.
Scrub bars are the go bro
Hi 5 the the young fella
Mate as for the lack of sauce!!! Just to other campers and say to them…don’t you know who I am….can I have some soy sauce please lol
🤣 I should have haha
Hey Tyler what brand frying pan are you using
It was from Drifta mate, one of their 'skillets'
Is that the non stick one
For your flare kit contact Leon at UteMaster’s Burleigh. He has all the different flare kits for all makes and models. Top bloke who helps out and makes all these flare kits. He also sends all over Australia. They are a pleasure to deal with.
thanks mate!
Does left foot breaking + a little accelerator work in an auto to avoid wheel lock up downhill ?
Don't know about Tyler but I use my handbreak too going down the steep stuff . Sometimes I need the right foot on the foot rest to keep my arse in the seat
@@chadingerson6354 that certainly makes sure your tyres lock up and you slide. The best case scenario is, you can slow your wheel speed down to below what you’d be sliding down the hill. (Theory that is). In a manual you do that by applying break & accelerator at the same time finding the balance to keep engine revs just a tiny bit above stall. Was wondering if the same technique would work in an Auto?
@@andrefischer5025 Depends were your handbrake is. Most Patrols it's on the tailshaft, so it's a perfect thing to use going down steep stuff - I use mine all the time. The TB48, however, has rear drum handbrake so it can be bad to use.
@@einfelder8262 yep, tail shaft hand break is great for that. What patrols have those? My GU, zd30 didn’t have one.
@@andrefischer5025 Pretty sure every ZD30 GU has tail shaft handbrake. And every other GU except TB48 which has slightly bigger front brakes and rear discs with handbrake shoes in them. Mine is a ZD30 CRD.
Exo flares
Haha🤙
why do they open it at 4pm?
Start of happy hour.
Yeah happy hour and they set their winch truck up the top to recovery 4wds if necessary, don't want people driving it whenever they like as its a pretty sketchy hill
Time for some decent tyres. Goodrides are nasty
Definitely, I suggested Yokohama Geolander G005 X-MT or Mickey Thompson Baja Boss MT tyres.
did demi forgive you for damaging "her car"? 😂
Yeah, just... 😂
Are you glad you went petrol over diesel
Yeah I really like the petrol mate
