I live in Louisiana the southern part of the United States of America I love to see you and stew dog in person at an event in Louisiana I have been watching y'all since 24/7 was called four wheel drive action and miss the big 79 with the pedal to the floor
Two of the best. Would love to see ol Rocket back in action. I watch the vidéos where Rocket and Stew are with the 4wd action crew snowing off their skills. You two are absolutely the best.
To answer your questions. I am in SE Qld and I drive an LC100 Auto or a Suzuki swb Grand Vitara (manual) off road and on road I have a Toyota coaster auto we used for touring and a hyundai hatchback for a daily and shopping center runs and a couple of fun toys. Usually just the missus who is a keen photographer and I when we go away . What we take depends on why and where we are traveling. Took the LC100 to the tip of cape york for sunrise, and the coaster to photograph autumn leaves down south or spring flowers and various sunrises and sunsets. Took the zook to places like Moreton Isl or some of the short trips to national parks and the Cruiser for longer trips.
Enjoying your content fellas, liking the new direction you're taking too. I have 79 series, Mrs has a fortuner and I have my grandads 84 LN65 Hilix with a Lexus V8 conversion. Based I'm Crows Nest QLD and as far as the camping a bit of both. I travelled Aus when I was young spent years travelling alone and with a my faithful dog Wally who only recently passed away at 16yrs. And as far as reported missing came pretty close a few times I'm sure me Old Girls grey hairs are mostly from me.
From Bundaberg Qld, We drive a MQ Triton Exceed Auto and a 2020 79 Series single cab. We go camping in smaller groups and sleep in the canopy.

Great Vid chaps, that only thing I would add to the servicing which I totally agree with & that's check it regularly especially if you work your machine, if it smalls at all burnt or is darker than it should be service it.... I'm at Mt Burrell, the Northern Rivers area NSW & I have a 1999 TI GU, which is my pride & joy, but is used just about every day on my 100 acre property. Keep up the good work,
FYI, maybe let everyone know how/when/if you promote a prize sell merchandise. The scammers are out in full force pretending to be the bearer of a prize from a Chanel. I get an email from the scammers mostly when I leave a comment. Just a heads up.
am ur no.1 fan!!!(all the rest r #2) Awesome to c u BOTH at d Same time in 1 vid! & a big YES to not going w/ 4WD247 on their trips... looking forward on watching vids of BOTH d 79&GU, rod&dog together on trips et al.. & also vids (w d guys fm 4WD247 as ur guests instead, HE HE HE!!!) hope ur 79 (9months?) is already off d sickbay & ready 4 adventures with d GU..
am from d Philippines, & a 1989 Delica Super Exceed owner. just had all oils changed (auto xmission, engine, diff oil-front&rear, transfer case, pwr steering) bleeded d brakes, to get it fresh for trips as China virus restrictions r already easing up. it's 219,000K's on d odo. am not a 4WD'r but i love 4wds.(am a musician) we do vacation/trips w/my fam. almost all roads to destinations & go to places here are already paved, BUT u'll never know wen u'd be needing a 4wd.
more power 2 you
& to all, readers included:
be SAFE & God Bless
Nice, loving the videos.
I’m in Mandurah area in Western Australia and have a ford ranger px1 3.2 6sp auto
I think being in a small group is awesome, can’t beat being out and about with great mates.
Gidday fella,
I reign from Noojee in Vic and drive a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel with the ZF 8 speed. Love to get away with friends but don't mind being on my own either. Great watching you guys. Keep up the good work.
Hi Rocket and Stu, I'm from Penrith NSW and I have a 2008 Mazda BT50 and a 1984 Suzuki Sierra. When I go away I like a bit of variety as far as how many people are in the group I'm with, but the preference is always to have less people in the area I'm going to
Great to see you both together finaly, out of the shop.
Goulburn 2580 NSW, 2 fourbys. A 2015 PRADO and a 2002 Ford explorer V6 in terms of fitting the 6 member family we prefer the Ford.
We always camp as a family with the the 2 dogs and camper trailer. You can't be reported missing if the family is lost with you.
Looking forward to seeing more from you.
Enjoying the direction your channel is going guys. Living 3km from your workshop & driving a 2010 LC200 that has twice had the auto serviced by you, as well as a lockup kit fitted. some time ago. Enjoy caravanning/camping with family and/or friends. I think i'd drive myself nuts just on my own !!
From South Wales...UK, drive 03 Ford Galaxy 2.3 auto (mpv), don't camp or off road due arthritis and it's debilitating effects. Not looking for simpathy, I've had fun in earlier years bu to everyone else, let it be a lesson, only on life, live it too the best, just be a little sensible.
Watch because of an interest in auto conversions and you guys are real good characters, came from 4WD24/7 obviously but watch many Australian travel channels for the variation of content, it's an amazing Country you have to explore. We have some real nice places in UK but, you got the weather too!
Oh, never been reported missing 😁. My mate just wishes he could afford to send his old Vauxhall over to you and have you figure out how to change it from an old 3 speed to and 5 speed that has electronics involved.
I know it's an essay but, that's me.
West Virginia USA. 1999 Chevy Blazer and a 2001 Ford F-150 both are 4wd
Hunter Valley Nsw Australia. have watched every single video you put out! 2016 Isuzu Dmax cheers Legends!!
Great content. I have a 2014 Holden Colorado. Yep I totally agree about getting the transmission serviced every 40,000 or 2 years.
Enjoyed the episode guys. From Brisbane driving a BMW M140i as a daily, and my 4x4 is a dual locked 90 series prado with a pretty spicy 3UZ-FE and A340F Auto.
like the Q&A format. Perth W.A 2008 Navara. The less people around the better. I've been reported missing 3 times I'm pretty sure there will be a 4th and possibly a 5th time.
Hi gentlemen. I have a 2wd 2003 RA Rodeo single cab. Love going fish camping. If my ute can get in i will go.My biggest trip is to the High Country SheepsYard Flat. I live in Sunbury Vic. Love your content guys keep it up Cheers

Hey guys love the show
Watching you from Ireland , hoping to cross the Simpson this October ,
I'm from America and watch youer showe and a lot of oz channels I would rather watch oz channels than American off rode channels u all are more down to earth thanks for all the good content
Ralph Cioffi I view ur channel from Long Island NewYork and I think u guys along with the crew from 4 wheel drive 24/7 are the best i wish u n stew the best with ur new channel the United State is watching
Thanks Ralph, look forward to seeing you pop up in the comments from time to time and glad you think we are worth a watch!
Great to see you both together, and starting something new.
Watching from UK, my daily is an HJ60 Cruiser which my wife and I go camping in with the dog on our own - typically somewhere in Devon.
Great channel boys. Watching from Albury-Wodonga
Hi Rocket and Stew . Richard Van Der Berg watching from Maun Botswana . The Gateway to the Okavango Delta . Weapon of choice is a Hilux DC 2.8 4x4 Auto . For me I prefer traveling in a small convoy of three vehicles with family and Friends .
Morning Rod and Stu!
NSW Hunter Valley mate, my back door looks at the Watagans.
My work daily is a just a 2011 Territory, but the beach/family car is a 2011 Prado GXL, Auto, 1KD. Prado is stock aside from a set of AT's, she gets me onto Stockton Beach and will pull a few suckers out as well. Kinda wish I got the petrol V6 instead of the 1KD, some major servicing can get expensive. Would rather pay extra fuel weekly than high servicing costs.
Speaking of sealed for life autos BS, my Territory has done some miles (330k; only just aquired/inherited it few months back for work, I'm a truck driver by day) and whilst it had a full service history, some things underneath needes attention. The poor old BTR hasn't been serviced at all. Dropped the 4L out of the pan and man was it black phwarr it bloody stink. Would have liked to flushed out the other 4L+ thats throughout the rest of the box but opting to just replace the 4L in the pan for the next few 10k services instead. She also got a front end suspension rebuild, done myself, which has been good to get back on the tools again.
Peace! - Mitch.
Great vid!
Be good to hook back up with 4WD-24/7, one day, but don’t feel any dramas or hurry. I like both the sim and diff and appreciate that you do your own thing. Great answers and honesty!
Smokey, peaty whisky, lovely.
On the auto servicing / maintenance question does anyone / manufacturer with an auto ‘cool’ them into the main rad (anymore) or does everyone cool into an air cooler? Please answer as it's a common question on a forum I contribute to.
Your questions… In the UK and don’t have an auto but do have a 4WD (it’s a Toyota camper). Off-grid, various, depends.
Thanks both!
My husband and I love watching you guys. We are from West Branch, Michigan in the United States. We have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee with a six inch lift on thirty five's and it is an auto. It has 20,000 actual miles.
My sister in law had a "lifetime" transmission flush before she bought her VW Jetta. 3 years later, her husband and I go to check the fluid and due to the sealed case crack open the drain bolt and proceed to contain what we thought was a toxic battery acid smelling black fluid. It was putrid and burned our eyes and lungs. Mind that we were in a well ventilated garage. We close it up and tow it to our friends shop who flushes it with roughly 28 quarts of fluid to get it looking clean and clear, deep red fluid. This was at 97,000 miles. Luckily the transmission was operational, but given the 120,000 mileage she sold it at, it would of been ruined. Strong advice to get it done when you all suggested it. There is no lifetime fluid in an automatic.
Speaking to you from south eastern Idaho, in the USA. Good to see you lads.
Great video guys, not far away for me, based on the VIC NSW Border in Albury Wodonga
I'm on the Central Coast of NSW and drive a Toyota FJ Cruiser. New to 4WD and want to learn how to drive and look after my auto (give me advice!). Camping is most fun just with the wife and I in a nice quiet secluded Hipcamp.
Upper Hutt, New Zealand. 2018 Holden Colorado as my daily 1997 TJ Jeep wrangler as the off roader
Watching from USA, South Carolina and drive a stock 2000 Ford Ranger sitting on 32's. Most of my off-roading is hauling the kayak down to the river to go fishing or hauling farm supplies through my pasture. Been watching you guys for awhile on 4WD247 and when you guys left I found you here.
Hey rocket and stew dog really enjoying your channel
•I’m in Melbourne I work in the 4wd industry
•I drive a 2010 mn triton
• I enjoy both camping alone and with others
•and I haven’t been reported missing
Keep up the great work guys 👍🏻
This is the first time ever I saw Rocket Rod and StuDog in the same video. Never together on 4wd/247. It has cleared up a lot for me. Also good to have more balance between the Nissan and Toyota forces on display between the two and what we may expect to come from their material. It was a bit out of balance for me with all Shauno’s builds, and Graeme sticking with the DMaxes.
I'm in SW Idaho, USA. I drive a 2002 Jeep grand cherokee that I use for remote camping, typically alone with my dogs. I pull a 1952 M100 military trailer with a roof top tent. I have been missing but but ever actually reported as such.... 🤔🤷♂️
It's nice to watch you guys and thanks for answering all those questions
From Sydney I drive 2015 79 series, as a daily basis I drive a Toyota hiace with some pipes at the top.
Who I'd travel with? Every trip is different some times with family others with mates but honestly I'd love to do what Stu dose and disappear for few days 😂
Keep the good work up guys, always looking forward to watching your videos

Looking forward to more 4wd content from you guys.
I am from a rural part of Iceland, drive a 33'' L200 (Triton) and my prefered travel is as far away from other people as possible. (Apart from my small family and the dog, can't leave them behind) I love finding hot geothurmal springs in the middle of nowhere.
In about ten years, tourists in Iceland have multiplyed but the good thing is that you only need to be able to drive alittle further than a Dasia Duster witch is the most popular rental here and then you won't find any tourists.
Watching this from Co. Sligo in Ireland No 4wd at the moment two vans vw transporter and Nissan NV400 campers camping with a small gang and two labs is the only way!
