The SECRET 4WD track that nearly RUINED us!

  • This secret Busselton 4wd track IS NOW CLOSED! Unfortunately, an increasing minority of people hang onto their skid pig commodore driver mentality and the resulting damage to the area means it has been closed and blocked off for rehabilitation.
    4WDing and camping in the south west of Western Australia is hugely popular. Two vehicles and 5 friends embark on an Intents Offroad trip to explore a track very close to Busselton.

    Next time you do this track give us a hoy takes us 2 hours max and we actually do the drop off where you took the chicken track and please do not throw wood into holes as the last person that cost someone a new sump with bash plate .we run this track regularly and the best time to do it is at the end of winter when the water is up to the window also if you are going to tell people about it please advise them to keep there rubbish IN there cars we picked up a full garbage bag just yesterday

    I have taken down the names of the road where you turn off to this secret ( non secret now) track and inserted the GPS co-ordinates. Will be going down there later towards the end of the year with two other vehicles and their families. We all have winches. One way we stop water from entering inside the cars is to use Gaffer tape all around the door seals and the climb in and out via the window/s. Works every time

    • @Alex.G
      @Alex.G  9 років тому

      Steinwaygrande Holy shit man that Gaffer tape idea is the best! Can't believe I never thought of that! We have since been back down that track after much more rain and holy whack it's muddy! Should be alright with a snorkel, winches and a bit of experience.

    • @steinwaygrande3971
      @steinwaygrande3971 9 років тому

      +Intents Offroad Hi mate. Yes the gaffer tape around the doors and tailgate prevents any water coming in. Totally dry inside even when the water is lapping at the windows. Bit trick y getting in and out but sure as hell saves a lot of water damage and an expensive insurance claim. Keep several rolls of tape in the car at all times.

      @Alex.G  8 років тому

      With some 4wds, such as GQ patrols, you have to hop out and turn the dials in the middle of the front wheels to lock it into 4wd. With the auto hub, all you have to do is move the transfer case into 4wd and they automatically lock for you. Then to unlock them you put the transfer into 2wd and back the car up a metre or 2 until you hear them click out. Unfortunately they tend to play up once in a while and may lock in on the road, or clunk in and out which is what mine started doing

    • @mimixownzall
      @mimixownzall 9 років тому

      Intents Offroad It has been deemed the evil fuel by the eco maniacs. It probably started with us not jumping on the bandwagon back in WW2. Almost all of our stuff, even tanks, ran on petrol fuel. You do see some cars like the VW TDI but that's about it. Only thing we use diesels on are for heavy duty use. You can get your 3/4 ton and up pickups in diesels but not small pickups (as a general rule). Part of this problem is that diesel is more expensive due to its heavy taxing to get money from the trucking companies to help pay for the supposed road damage semis cause (though studies have shown this is a fable).
