I don't care who you are, or where you're from... there is nothing better than seeing some long time friends living their dreams... There is no faking the enthusiasm and excitement on all of your faces! Living life like bloddy legends..!
Your America trip has been some of the very best content on UA-cam fellas. Take a bow, truly entertaining stuff. Seeing you guys so out of your element while tackling some of the most difficult trails the good ol US of A can offer is super fun to watch and offers a nice contrast from your Aussie adventures where you all know the tracks inside and out. I LOVED the Rubicon trail content. The CO content was top-notch as well. I cannot wait to see what you all get up to in Moab.
Boys I’m struggling for the right words to describe the cinematography in this particular episode. I can’t do it justice. Really reminds me of Top Gear in terms of production quality. Awesome effort. Can’t wait for the next one.
The Aussies especially Shauno are comedic gold. Reminds me of the Aussie Army Amphibious units I got to train with in the 90’s. They can turn any bad situation into something hilarious.
What brought you to Australia? You enjoy living there? The wife and I want to travel to NZ and AUS sometime in the next few years. I've seen so much of the continent by watching this channel I am really looking forward to it.
been watching the show a couple of years now and imo Jessie is the best driver/line spotter and appears he and Jocko work on a tighter vehicle budget then the others ? cant wait to see his bmw powered rig on the trails though
I was one of those campers at the site below your group yelling “hey bear” haha. A mama bear and her two cubs came wandering through the middle of camp. It was great getting to meet yall, and very cool getting a shoutout of sorts in the video haha!
As an American viewer, it’s awesome to see the guys from down under coming to the US and running all these iconic US trails. Really bummed I couldn’t make the Moab meet up way back. This is getting me stoked on wanting to run more trails.
@@MultiRow1 one of these years I will I think! Gonna be the far off future though because that would be an all me trip and the wife had no interest (unfortunately) to visit Australia
@@adambrown7741 First thing you gotta do is either Fraser Island beach driving or Cape York and do its Gun Barrel when you come to Australia in the far future mate
Man, I am so happy y'all got to wheel both Colorado and Utah. Anyone is welcome to come here and wheel. By in large, most Americans are nice, good people. Especially the people out there wheeling. Living in the USA you start to take these places for granted. Really reminds me how lucky we are to have these types of tracks available to us.
So happy for you guys and the fact that you got to experience the adventures of the U.S. shame people that live here never go and dont even know it exists.
Go to the midwest or east coast and ask how many off roaders have wheeled in Utah, Colorado and Nevada. Only a very small percentage. They always say they will or they want to but they never do. @@eat.sleep.wheel21
Your positivity even when things go wrong, is exactly why we all love 4WD 24-7! Side note, that salmon dinner ya'll made may just look like the best meal you have made yet! I can honestly say that I was smiling throughout this entire video... even money cannot buy that feeling. Thanks guys
I'm blown away by all the Australian trails. I've been watching every video I can since I saw the Rubicon video. A lot of the Australian tracks look way more crazy.
Growing up in Colorado and living in this Coloradan country y’all are in, makes me so happy! Love watching this channel and all you all do. Thanks for showing that dreams can happen with some hard work and perseverance! AMAZING!
Since I started following yall years ago I've been dreaming of an offroad trip in Australia. Some of us Americans tend to forget what beauty we have in our own land. Thanks to the Aussies for the reminder 🙏
I am SOOO stoked for this especially after your Rubicon video, super happy you guys are being able to enjoy America's trails, I feel spoiled being able to have these trails
Straight up, equally as good watching Shawn-O and the boys taking on our American trails, as watching Clarkson, Hammond, and May travel through Vietnam. Absolutely epic storytelling, locations, and filmography. I had no idea you guys hit the Rubicon, just watched the video, and here I am halfway through this one. Completely and utterly glorious.
As a Colorado native who has been over all these roads this is so much fun. I'm sitting here with happy tears hearing your words about my home state. When you live there it doesn't hit you as hard how special it can be. So watching your joy is like seeing with a new set of eyes.
@@n0pe213that campsite your talking about is actually at the end of the trail Yankee Boy Basin.. it’s in the Uncompahgre Natl Forrest and you can dispersed camp there
It is generally poor form in the west to start a new camp site.Certainly, in that alpine region the standard is to camp in an established location. Not on the undisturbed Tundra. The American should have known better. Also, Yankee Boy Basin is mostly private property. The signs are subtle but it is widely posted.@@Tn_Taco
@@scotthemmen8717 yeah I agree, I took a look back at it on OnX can see where the private property is along the trail but it seems like the place they camped was NF land per the app
@@scotthemmen8717 this is what I found on the NF website: “Dispersed camping is allowed in the Grand Mesa & Uncompahgre National Forest. You can set up your campsite within 300 feet of any designated road or trail, providing no resource damage occurs.”
Each time another 5 minutes of the video plays I go to hit the like button and realize I've already done it! Living in Colorao and having driven trails in that area it warms my heart to see Shanuo, Graham, Pete and Tim drive and enjoy the same ones! Love you guys
Man, y'all are my favorite off-roading content. I'm a new fan that just found you guys a week ago! Already cooked Seano's curry sausage meal and my god it is good!! You men are just the thing we needed up here in the states! From the PNW in Washington
I live a hour away from these trails. Yall make me realize how much of a amazing place I live. I have been on many of these back country trails and they still make me smile every time. Awesome cinematography.
I grew up wheeling in Colorado, and the off camber stuff above tree line gets so freaking scary. Even just watching the first few minutes I'm getting legit ptsd to some bad moments I had back when. I moved to California and started exploring the Sierra Nevadas, so in two videos you'll have hit my two main stomping grounds, and when you hit Moab, you'll be in one of my ultimate paradise spots. Thanks for coming over. I'm in central America and heading south, but y'all are making me super homesick!
Just awesome witnessing Sean facing his fear with his mates support every step of the way. Fear is an interesting thing. What might seem like nothing to one man can be terrifying for another and vice versa. Awesome stuff men!
guys be careful with compression fittings. they do work in a pinch as a temporary fix, but they can blow apart under high brake load like a panic stop. always try to use a union instead that matches the flare type on the line. the difference is the union is a solid piece of material that puts the load on the threads and the flare seal. the compression fitting relies on friction alone on the outer surface of the line to hold it together.
The American content and videos have been by far some of the best this Channel has produced. I’m loving it. This could be a new start of visiting other countries with iconic tracks
Few days has passed since this video launched, and I finally decided its time to get myself a 4x4. Bought a Nissan Pathfinder R51 2011 for cheap and will start modding it soon. I'm pretty much motivated by you guys. Hopefully will get into new experiences and adventures soon 😁
I grew up riding motorcycles on these trails, I loved riding all over Colorado, Utah, and northern New Mexico, I remember our first high altitude climb over the continental divide and up to American Flag Mountain where one of our two stoke motorcycles couldn't make it on its jets that were set for 8000ft. fun times! Glad you guys could see my childhood back yard!
That is a beast of a trail. But there are roads upto 5800m in Indian Himalayas. That is literally higher than Everest base camp! Lot of trails and camps in 4000-5500m range. Very fortunate to have driven and ridden on a few of them!
What an epic trip. Can we take a minute to Appreciate the Guy at Napa. He's the one i look to talk to on tricky fixes, not that a brake line is a tricky fix, by a long shot.
Wow guys that was totally epic. Oh what fun that all looked like. It just goes to show that the dirty 30 can run with the big boys even on the small tyres well done guys. I’m so jealous 🤙😎🇦🇺
What an absolutely awesome episode! It's so awesome to see you guys in my backyard after having watched you guy for over 6 years now. I'm glad to be a Colorado Native and see you enjoy all of the same experiences I have had growing up here in Colorado. It's truly a one of kind place.
thank you for coming all the way to my home trails. And doing so with the respect and ability you all showed. Come again theres so much more waiting for you
These are men among men. I can’t put into words the respect and admiration I have for these gentlemen. To live life with the positive joy they do is off the charts. Infectious it is mates!!! Much love from the great pacific NW!!
I just did Imogene Pass and Engineer Pass in early September in my lightly modded GX460 (Prado) with no issues, but was fortunate to not deal with snow on the trail itself.
Great episode. Thoroughly enjoyed everything in the video and watching the Prado on 37’s. I’d put 37’s on mine in Australia but the Department Against Transport might not like a car being too much fun.
as another colorado native who's driven all over the san juans I was sooo stoked for you guys to see this incredible place! i'm a huge fan of you guys and was so proud to see you guys enjoy it like i have. what an episode! can't wait for the moab episode! p.s. did you go thru the rock tunnel thousands of feet above telluride?
putting aside the altitude, I can say for certain that seeing those mountain ranges, those views remind me of Carpathian ranges in this country of ours (Romania), it felt to me like I was back on the trails in Bucegi Mountains and Fagaras Mountains as well. Simply stunning views in this part of the parallels. Almost Everywhere.
I'm from CO and love this video, 4wding in CO is one of the most different and fun kinds you can do! Tire selection is also extremely important here, getting a cold weather compound and tread with siping is extremely important. And as a Coloradan it makes me proud how much they respect and enjoy my state
Hey fellas. love the show. I live in Colorado and hope you enjoy your time here and in the us. Would have loved to show you around some amazing trails though my rig was stolen and the guy drove it through a house moving the house off of its foundation. 96 bronco fully kitted out. The heavy duty bumper I welded up saved his life but the truck it in a sad state. Anyways have a great time Fellas.
I've been wheeling the Rockies and the Sierras for over 50 years. It's a blast watching these wonderful lowlanders enjoy it and conquer the routine obstacles like broken rigs and testing your sanity. Great job friends! I have a dream to see Australia, but will probably have to make do with your wonderful filming. Thanks for visiting us.
dude these videos are amazing. what an adventure. as an american GX/prado owner myself, wheeling the soccer mom rig is always a good time 😂 they are becoming pretty common rigs out here at least on the west coast these days.
If you have problems with the dirty 30 at 12000 feet buy a Marhindra XUV 500 AWD I took mine up to 5602m 18000+ never missed a beat. This was over the highest road in the world in Kashmir India camped at 4200m at Pang-gong lake on the same trip. Overnight went done -2c she started up next morning sounded like a tractor for a few seconds then like a Swiss watch. I am a Pom living in India planning a 2nd big lap next year for 6 months. 1st lap was 27300 km but was on road next year is off road. Will be 72 then wife and myself next year off on another adventure.
I love Colorado and have wheeled that area and Imogene a few times. The beauty never gets old. I love seeing you guys getting excited about the places I have grown to love. Welcome to the states. Enjoy.
I absolutely loved this video which brought back great memories of off-roading with friends back in the 1970's and '80's in British Columbia, Canada. We didn't have all the fancy gear these guys do but with winches, jack-alls and chainsaws we made it one way or another. Yank's Peak in the Cariboo, the Jade Mine in the Shulaps mountain range, Middlepass crossing over the continental divide from the Flathead valley in B.C. into Alberta, P Line in the mountains above Squamish....all amazing trips. I'm a little too old now to get back into off-roading but watching these Aussies exploring the U.S. where I now live helps me relive my glory days of my youth. Thank you!
So glad to see y’all enjoy the trails I love to go on here in Colorado. I moved here 4 years ago and it changed my life. So blessed to call this beautiful place home.
Funny how they comment Jeeps being prone to breaking (a brake line and a tie rod, from hitting boulders etc on the trail btw). Yet two Toyotas break their drivelines from basic climbs, and another's rear brakes stop working, but somehow no criticism...
Last time I was there 2 years ago, 4 of our rigs(7 total) broke parts. 1 taco, 3 jeeps. 2 of the jeeps were out and had to get to a shop. The other broke a U joint, which we fixed on trail and was good to go, and the Taco broke a tie rod end, easy 10 minute fix. It's just luck of the draw and how you drive. I'm thankful my Taco has never broken a part yet, but I'm always ready with extra parts and tools just in case. Also, I religiously check before and after trips and replace as necessary. I don't think Jeeps or Toyotas are better than the other, they are just different and I like them both. Just run what you brought and atop the haye🤦🏾♂️. 🤘🏽
How many US featured episodes will there be? So far it's been very entertaining. Awesome to see the Lexus GX470 making a main appearance on this episode instead of just being in the background 🤙👌
As a native coloradian who runs up and down webster pass and redcone on a yearly basis, seeing others' experience makes me realize how privileged I am when this is in my backyard, you guys are more than welcome to come again I hope one day to see you running the trail
We are reallllly lucky that these trails are hours and less from us. We have to do our best to protect them too and keep access open since everyone seems to be gunning against motorized trail users anymore.
Nice! I grew up in Summit County running those trails. I didn't know there was any other wheeling than shelf roads and driving over mountain peaks. 😄 I love seeing the Australian trails these guys run. Those islands look out of this world.
Howdy from Texas. I’m glad you boys from down under are enjoying our country. Thank you for the video. I really enjoyed seeing how y’all were in awe at every turn. Colorado is a beautiful state. My wife and I vacation there every few years. There’s always something different to see and do there.
You guys are incredible I love to see people appreciate the Colorado trails. Your attitude and mechanics skills are very impressive. Colorado is Amazing and hard to beat anywhere.
Glad you're enjoying Colorado! Its worth mentioning that high alpine tundra is very fragile so driving off trail can cause damage that can take decades to recover and puts trails at risk of being shut down. I'm sure your camp was sanctioned but it's an important detail for others watching this video that may not know.
It truly is amazing and incredible that you boys got to go to a place that I visit regularly. It’s almost like my son and I are there with you guys. What a fantastic episode.
Awesome glad you guys are hitting Americas trails its alot different than Australia. I would love to purchase some stedi lights but damn they are expensive.
I live relativity close to Ouray. Its brings me such joy to be reminded of how blessed i am to live here. Seeing the joy and wonder you've experienced brings me back.
At least they speak English, unlike the majority that come across our southern border. They'll probably also return to their homeland as well & not wear out their welcome
As a Colorado native who's been wheeling in the San Jauns my whole life, and a MASSIVE fan of this channel, this is AMAZING!
Dude pretty much same here, always thought they would love it here.
Me three XOXO we are so lucky 🙂
Me as well! So glad to see a bunch of Aussies in CO this year as some of the drag car guys also did rocky mountain race week!
It was an amazing video, except for the part where they illegally drove off trail onto the tundra to camp in an area where camping isn't allowed.
What trail are they on? Parts of it look like Alpine Loop, but the challenging snow spot I don't recognize
This is why I love Aussies. States he's out of depth, scared, and afraid of heights but sends it over the snow while laughing. Got to love it.
It's a survival instinct 😂
We are usually pretty truthful too. We also love to say “Send it”. Or if in doubt, peddle out.
I don't care who you are, or where you're from... there is nothing better than seeing some long time friends living their dreams... There is no faking the enthusiasm and excitement on all of your faces! Living life like bloddy legends..!

Thanks to you all for allowing us to help you with the show. Truly an epic experience! Oh, we think people like the prado too 😉
The Prado goes alright 👍
When will you be coming down under to film an episode?
why is it made by lexus? in aus all our lexus’s are just city suv’s nothing like prados and 200’s

Graham doesn’t have to worry about Pete’s wheeling. He’s the best the show has ever seen
Yep, cool as always.
He and Jock are both exceptional behind a steering wheel.
@@BillyTpower I prefer Jesse’s approach over Jock straps. I do like Jocks technical ability though.

A shame ? Nah bro.
pretty sure that literal thousands of people cross the Alpine passes in the San Juan every year.
I live it everyday at 3,000 ft elevation. Off grid brutha!
Go to the midwest or east coast and ask how many off roaders have wheeled in Utah, Colorado and Nevada. Only a very small percentage. They always say they will or they want to but they never do. @@eat.sleep.wheel21
Those that don't go can't do to sky high taxes leaving them without the money to.

as another colorado native who's driven all over the san juans I was sooo stoked for you guys to see this incredible place! i'm a huge fan of you guys and was so proud to see you guys enjoy it like i have. what an episode! can't wait for the moab episode! p.s. did you go thru the rock tunnel thousands of feet above telluride?
This is AMAZING 👏. I'm only a quarter through and I'm FROTHIN ❤ . What an epic trip, good on the Americans for looking after you so well
putting aside the altitude, I can say for certain that seeing those mountain ranges, those views remind me of Carpathian ranges in this country of ours (Romania), it felt to me like I was back on the trails in Bucegi Mountains and Fagaras Mountains as well. Simply stunning views in this part of the parallels. Almost Everywhere.
I've visited the edge of the mountains in Romania and have frenquently visited Colorado in the U.S.
Both beautiful places
I'm from CO and love this video, 4wding in CO is one of the most different and fun kinds you can do! Tire selection is also extremely important here, getting a cold weather compound and tread with siping is extremely important. And as a Coloradan it makes me proud how much they respect and enjoy my state
Hey fellas. love the show. I live in Colorado and hope you enjoy your time here and in the us. Would have loved to show you around some amazing trails though my rig was stolen and the guy drove it through a house moving the house off of its foundation. 96 bronco fully kitted out. The heavy duty bumper I welded up saved his life but the truck it in a sad state. Anyways have a great time Fellas.
Sorry to hear that. Hope you can fix it
I've been wheeling the Rockies and the Sierras for over 50 years. It's a blast watching these wonderful lowlanders enjoy it and conquer the routine obstacles like broken rigs and testing your sanity. Great job friends! I have a dream to see Australia, but will probably have to make do with your wonderful filming. Thanks for visiting us.
dude these videos are amazing. what an adventure. as an american GX/prado owner myself, wheeling the soccer mom rig is always a good time 😂 they are becoming pretty common rigs out here at least on the west coast these days.
Love mine. Theyre popping up all over the East Coast too
"i've never been this high on a mountain before." Glad to see he's really getting the full Colorado experience.
If you have problems with the dirty 30 at 12000 feet buy a Marhindra XUV 500 AWD I took mine up to 5602m 18000+ never missed a beat. This was over the highest road in the world in Kashmir India camped at 4200m at Pang-gong lake on the same trip. Overnight went done -2c she started up next morning sounded like a tractor for a few seconds then like a Swiss watch. I am a Pom living in India planning a 2nd big lap next year for 6 months. 1st lap was 27300 km but was on road next year is off road. Will be 72 then wife and myself next year off on another adventure.
I love Colorado and have wheeled that area and Imogene a few times. The beauty never gets old. I love seeing you guys getting excited about the places I have grown to love.
Welcome to the states. Enjoy.
As a fellow GX470 owner. Thanks for the proper representation! Great rigs. Cheers 🇺🇸
🎉🎉🎉
This is one of the most entertaining off-road videos I've seen, brilliant stuff, what a trip!
You guys have some sick drives. Absolutely amazing Keep up the great work.😊😊
I absolutely loved this video which brought back great memories of off-roading with friends back in the 1970's and '80's in British Columbia, Canada. We didn't have all the fancy gear these guys do but with winches, jack-alls and chainsaws we made it one way or another. Yank's Peak in the Cariboo, the Jade Mine in the Shulaps mountain range, Middlepass crossing over the continental divide from the Flathead valley in B.C. into Alberta, P Line in the mountains above Squamish....all amazing trips. I'm a little too old now to get back into off-roading but watching these Aussies exploring the U.S. where I now live helps me relive my glory days of my youth. Thank you!
So glad to see y’all enjoy the trails I love to go on here in Colorado. I moved here 4 years ago and it changed my life. So blessed to call this beautiful place home.
Nothing like the Rocky Mountains. Every time I visit I'm in awe. Glad you guys had an epic time!
Funny how they comment Jeeps being prone to breaking (a brake line and a tie rod, from hitting boulders etc on the trail btw). Yet two Toyotas break their drivelines from basic climbs, and another's rear brakes stop working, but somehow no criticism...
I was thinking the same thing lol I think they are in denial after watching the JKU stroll through the stuff their rigs are struggling through !
Jeep is shit
Last time I was there 2 years ago, 4 of our rigs(7 total) broke parts. 1 taco, 3 jeeps. 2 of the jeeps were out and had to get to a shop. The other broke a U joint, which we fixed on trail and was good to go, and the Taco broke a tie rod end, easy 10 minute fix. It's just luck of the draw and how you drive. I'm thankful my Taco has never broken a part yet, but I'm always ready with extra parts and tools just in case. Also, I religiously check before and after trips and replace as necessary. I don't think Jeeps or Toyotas are better than the other, they are just different and I like them both. Just run what you brought and atop the haye🤦🏾♂️. 🤘🏽
Some of the happiest smiles and laughs I’ve ever seen! And that four wheelin’!
How many US featured episodes will there be? So far it's been very entertaining.
Awesome to see the Lexus GX470 making a main appearance on this episode instead of just being in the background 🤙👌
Awesome video as always 4WD24/7 Crew. Shaun and Graham this was a epic adventure can't wait for the next adventure with Jocko.
As a native coloradian who runs up and down webster pass and redcone on a yearly basis, seeing others' experience makes me realize how privileged I am when this is in my backyard, you guys are more than welcome to come again I hope one day to see you running the trail
We are reallllly lucky that these trails are hours and less from us. We have to do our best to protect them too and keep access open since everyone seems to be gunning against motorized trail users anymore.
Nice! I grew up in Summit County running those trails. I didn't know there was any other wheeling than shelf roads and driving over mountain peaks. 😄 I love seeing the Australian trails these guys run. Those islands look out of this world.
Howdy from Texas. I’m glad you boys from down under are enjoying our country. Thank you for the video. I really enjoyed seeing how y’all were in awe at every turn. Colorado is a beautiful state. My wife and I vacation there every few years. There’s always something different to see and do there.
Yer the Prado! Absolute rig!
'It's slightly bent... but so are the Fellas..' You guys are awesome with the one liners! Looks like a blast!
"Chase did it, and he drives a Prado.".... classic
😂😂😂
You guys are incredible I love to see people appreciate the Colorado trails. Your attitude and mechanics skills are very impressive. Colorado is Amazing and hard to beat anywhere.
Glad you're enjoying Colorado!
Its worth mentioning that high alpine tundra is very fragile so driving off trail can cause damage that can take decades to recover and puts trails at risk of being shut down. I'm sure your camp was sanctioned but it's an important detail for others watching this video that may not know.
Someone should tell the wildlife to stay off of it as well... the heards of wildlife are causing irreversible damage. 😢
About 100 years with short growing seasons
@@crabbitkClearly that's not the case but it is with 4wd tires
Yea that wasn't cool. That's what gets trails shut down.
@@crabbitkwildlife has no brain, hopefully u do
It truly is amazing and incredible that you boys got to go to a place that I visit regularly. It’s almost like my son and I are there with you guys. What a fantastic episode.
You can 4wd in bolivia across the Andes at 17,000ft. Top gear did it
I’ve been waitin on this one!! Love to see chase and the gx470 leading the way through the snow.
If the 12,000 " pass doesn't kill you, the Norwegian Farm Raised Salmon surely will . . . . .
Im just beyond happy for you gentlemen! Thank you for making the sacrifice to visit us stateside and enjoy the nature.
Awesome glad you guys are hitting Americas trails its alot different than Australia. I would love to purchase some stedi lights but damn they are expensive.
I live relativity close to Ouray. Its brings me such joy to be reminded of how blessed i am to live here. Seeing the joy and wonder you've experienced brings me back.
What an epic trip ❤️ Australia has some amazing tracks but the US is on another level. 🍺🍺🍺😎👍👌
I've been watching this channel for a long time. It's pretty cool seeing these guys come wheeling about 2 hours from where I live.
I think we're going to see a lot of Aussies coming over the southern border in their 4WDs soon after watching this video 😮
They're welcome! They can bring the 'good' 80 series stuff with them to haha
At least they speak English, unlike the majority that come across our southern border. They'll probably also return to their homeland as well & not wear out their welcome
Never thought I’d be so happy to see a group of boys having such a blast!
It's criminal to watch. this in 360p hell!!! I will be back.
yea not watchable
That's crazy I thought it was just my brand new tv my phone gets it at 460
@@fip1167 It shouldn't take too long but you should at least watch it in 720p. There should be a setting where it's not available until it's in HD.
Well I don't have volume on this video for some reason just on this video
@@justinrichard6837 Close your app or browser and start again. I hear audio. And it's in HD now
Just discovered this channel, such great entertainment! This is the top gear for off roaders we have always wanted!
