    The gift of this trip for your children is a memory that will never get a flat tyre, a flat battery, fade away or get old. It will be forever.
    Memories are much more important than...things. I salute you both!

    My wife and I have watched almost every episode since we first found you 6 weeks ago. We dont watch movies anymore, we watch you guys. So inspired we've now purchased a 22.6ft van and in the middle of upgrading to a new 4WD. Paying attention to every detail on what you guys use so we can mimic, that way we know the product has been trialed and tested. We want to create the same memories for our 2 kiddies and see our great country. Hope to one day see you guys on the road. Thank you for sharing

    I did this trip about 30 years ago just before we had kids with basic 4wd and tents. I think we are about 5 years off from doing it again with a bit more luxury this time..
    It was one of the greatest trips I have done and after watching this can't wait for the next time. love your work guys.

We love our sunrises and sunsets we find them very relation, here in Norfolk we have beautiful sunrises and sunsets also...Nice to see Jack catching fish Justin, take note!!

    I first travelled the road from Cairns to Weipa in 1979. In those days there were gates to open and close, and we camped at the Stewart River the first night. Over the years we watched the road develope into
    the, mostly, beautiful road it is now.

    Can you add some more of the wildlife you see. You must come across a lot of random wildlife on your journeys and camps. Also like the way you get the kids involved in everything. So much better than sitting them in front of a TV or video game.

    Hi guys love your videos. We stayed at camp #4 @ Hahn Crossing, my kids fished at your camp site and were blessed I guess with the presence of the croc that you guys would have seen, he popped his head up under my daughter to check her and out and then sized up my son.. he figured he couldn't really get a bite but he made himself very well known and showed his enormous body off to us for a good 10mins even went down and waded in front of our camp site for a while before disappearing. It was a quiet an experience!
    Love what you guys are doing!!

    Love your whole video series guys but this one especially because it's top of my bucket list. I also really like that you take the time to explain stuff like bush proofing the van and car and looking after the tyres, etc because it reinforces my discussions with the misso. If I had the coin, we would love to have your exact setup but for now I just got a 79 series and am building a camping trailer to help with dwelling out bush in comfort for longer. But your vids are keeping us inspired until then. Thanks

    I'm hoping to do an inland trip through Queensland next April/May and then consider our trip to WA. Your tips are terrific for off road too. The pool noodles again, the positive air in the van, saves heaps of money in the end and just as much time.
    And mate, that fingermark you had looked very much like a Moses Perch. But hard to tell from a video. Check it out online.
    Happy travels.

  • @themechanicslab
    @themechanicslab 4 роки тому +1

    Hey mate, those pre filters do very little in the way of fine dirt, they're great for bugs and bigger particles but a great trick to those is getting one of the misses stockings and stretching it over the filter when you arent oiling the prefilters as it stops the very fine dust and also give you a slighter increase in vacuum which in turn give you slightly better boost on sandy surfaces as higher speeds. I use the little sockette stockings for the feet as they are perfect on carbs and are easier to dust off once you remove them.

    Hi Guys, Another great video. Just wanted to let you know if you dont already but DONT use your STONE STOMPER in the MUD. Just had a mate come back from north QLD and got caught in some rain, forgot to take off the stomper and it filled with Mud and then tore off and got completely destroyed. Have fun and go the Maroons.
