i always loved watching these when i was really young, the nostalgia is real
The old videos are the best. Just great 4wds tackling some great tracks.
Just can’t beat these old videos.
Just got back from Levuka, definitely still worth going to for a camp and 4wd.
Thanks for a REAL 4WD video, keep up with the real videos guys thanks
Lost count how many times i watched this DVD. Was one of the top ten.
This looks like an off-road paradise.
4wd 24/7 today is nothing compared to what it used to be
I don’t know what it is, but the older videos with Roothy seem better?
It's the vibe....
@@IndyHepburn With Roothy every video was like a good old story told by a wiseman. The current thing is more in tune with the modern Social Media hype hype hype mentality.
@@kenim Yep, I'd agree with that - I'm a bit out of phase for the new world but quite happy living in the old!
@@JOHNROOTHROOTHY we loved how you took moments to tell the history of the places you visited. Old Crusiers visiting the old tracks they used, it really heightens the “adventure” part of it.
I follow you from Saudi Arabia, so we have adventures that those who try them will never forget, especially together with their people
I have this on DVD and still to this day it is one of my favourite ever films
I was trying to find this episode in my dvd collection. Couldn't find it. Thanks guys!
John for a second there I thought you'd gone to my homeland Fiji! Great stuff and love watching your wholesome content!
Great instructional John, thanks, we all need a reminder once in a while.
oh yeh forgot to say this video brings back memories of where we used to go back in the 70's, showing my age but when you get the 4wd bug you get it for life, I to have gone to the dark side and drive a GU ute but the wife still flies the flag she has a 120 Prado both of them are diesels
Best vid I've seen in ages, if only my surf was that tough 😅
It sure was tough - but took a lot of spannerwork too!
Been here in both wet and dry, this place never disappointed.
Love the show everyone!
love the old vids and seeing all the different 4x4 and Milo!
It’s like driving around the paddock when you are learning how to drive
Enjoyed this one plenty. Good oon you !!
Just found your tidy web site, well done mate... will have to go though you store & other videos this afternoon👌🏻🍻
Very refreshing content. Thanks for sharing
You definitely are a living Legend..Roothy..
Cheers Fellow UA-camr Famo59 👍🍻🤓⛏
Thank you kindly
Great vid of a wonderful place. Even without rain Levuka is never really dry. I put a nice dent in my passenger door in Rock ‘n Roll Gully but can’t wait to go back!
I love seeing milo i have a 60 series and love how it feels like a tractor
Great stuff .
4wd is the best👍👍👍
Love to watch your vid's John - keep on Off-Roading mate !!!

@@JOHNROOTHROOTHY best!!! 🙌🙌🙌
Roothy! Love the vids
Cracker. Great vegetarian dish too 😂
Hi Roothy, great videos you guys were making back in dem days. Watching from Nairobi Kenya 👍 Not forgetting that Patrol rocks.
Thanks Ron, we're lucky eh!
Super 💪👍✌️
Just discovered your videos, I thought that I had explored some rugged terrain, but where you all go makes the places I have been look like the greens at the local golf course. I explore the back country in my 2007 Chevy Silverado Heavy Duty. It has an extended cab and a full 8 foot bed, she wears Wildcat mud and snow tires, from Les Schwab.
I have managed to get her stuck in deep snow, about 30 inches deep and high centered on a big rock, have been stuck in the dunes along the Pacific coast. Even slid off the highway when I hit a slick spot, there was nearly three inches of ice on the road. Even got stuck in my driveway, in the Great Basin region of my home state of Oregon. The rain had washed out around the culvert leaving a cap over the washout, when I crossed it, my front tires fell thru and into a trench nearly 3 feet deep leaving me high centered.
I enjoy your videos and the scenery of the Australian Outback, wish I could bring my rig down there and go on one of your runs with you all, but, I do not think I could get her into some of the places you all go to. So I will just enjoy your videos, you have earned a new subscriber.
Stay Safe, Stay Healthy, and keep the adventures coming.
Shelly Ann from the Pacific Northwest USA.
Hahah - thanks Shelly - we go out of our way to go out of oour way! Most tracks in Australia narrow down when they get hard - so the big Americans don't even fit without lots of bush pinstriping! Love the Silverado - and love to see you out here off-roading!!!
@@JOHNROOTHROOTHY You mean getting new fresh Arizona Pinstripes? Have a 1986 Dodge Ramcharger that I want to drop a new Mopar 360 engine into and the slap a Mopar A727A tranny behind it. Once I get that baby up and running I can get out and explore more roads and it will coast less in gas to do it.
When I was in the Navy and stationed out in the Mojave Desert, 1976-1978, I had a 1977 Dodge Powerwagon 3/4 ton with a Mopar 360, an oil bath air filter, the A727A tranny. I also belonged to a 4x4 club called the High Desert 4x4 Club. Our decal was a differential with the axles broken off, and a high desert scene on it. People find it odd that I claim to have been stationed at the largest Naval Station on the west coast and it was located in the middle of the Mojave Desert.
It was a great place to explore, but you had to be very cautious, the area had been used as a bombing range during World War II, and you could on occasion find unexploded ordinance out there. The Air Force also practiced their aerial attack maneuvers out there as well.
I was out chasing rattlesnakes one day and became a target for a couple Navy A4 Skyhawk. The pilots chased me all over the desert, it was fun playing with them. When we stopped to dump some gas in the p/u, they came in low over us and we hoisted a cold brew from our ice chest to them. They buzzed us, any lower they would have taken the 9 foot whip off the back of my p/u. The came screaming in in low as we hoisted our brews and they did a roll over the top of us, then went screaming off back towards base. We brought in 3 Mojave Green Rattlesnakes, the deadliest of the snakes on the west coast, and a big Pacific Black Rattlesnake that day. The Mojaves were small, just a bit over 4 feet (1.22m) and the Pacific black was close to 7 feet (2.13m) and about as big around as your forearm, it would have made some mighty good eating. That was a good catch for the venom research program, we caught them for that day.
Here I go again getting long winded, I grew up stomping around the hills near where my Dad was Chief of Police. I was then a tomboy and at 70 I guess I still am. Do you by chance have another channel?? That you post some of your back country videos on?
//es//Stay Safe, Stay Healthy, Keep the Sunny Side Up and the Dirty Side Down.
@@ShellyAnn1a thanks mate - wow, sounds like you've had plenty of adventure in your life!!! Realy appreciated your 'long winded' reply - hell, it's great to hear from the US, I've spent some time there working with 4wds and motorbikes and 'done' the Rubicon once in a Jeep with lockers, great fun, even better catering thanks to Jeep - this is my channel Shelly, haven't got any others - but if you dig there's heaps here - you stay cool my friend and hope to see you out here maybe one day when the world cools down. Not like you don't have enough fun over there!!!
@@JOHNROOTHROOTHY Two winters ago, I was exploring one of our many back roads, following another set of tracks. I got up to a point where I was pushing snow up onto the hood of my p/u, it was snowing rather hard and there was a little over three feet of snow on the road. Came around a corner and there in the middle of the road was a pair of Land Rovers, stuck in the snow. One tried to pull the other out and became stuck itself. I offered to pull them out, chained together, hooked up my tow chain and pulled both out at the same time. As I was backing onto a side road so they could get out, I misjudged the road junction and backed over a big rock. I became high centered on the rock. The two of them, together, could not pull me out of my predicamenrestaurant had already closed, I was going to buy the guy a hot cup of coffee.
Following from Greece,Europe.Great video,loved it.The 4runner has the jungle trekkers(if i'm not mistaken),top choice tire for these conditions.
You're not mistaken - great rubber in the mud.
Solid axels....... That's why they made them.... Go figure
I remember getting my first ever 4wd mag 10 years ago this year and bought every single magazine for 6 years after
Geez I'd love to tag along on one of your drives guys👍
i love muddy holes great show mates from spokane wa usa
Too cool mate - Spokane, wow!
This man has a very comfortable smile and has a very great experience in bad or sea trips and enjoys the love of adventure. Question: Is the summit writing a book that is an approach for those who wish to be adventurous and loved among friends, then you are a man who lost those who did not believe you 🤠🤠
Wow, thank you
Pfft, you should see my driveway right now, decent rain and red durt. Holy shit.
And chasing cattle is a pain in the ass
Old milo was the reason i got my 47 troops lol. Havnt been able to bring myself up to cutting it. And its still beige lol.
Don't chop it is my advice, when I chopped Milo you could pick up running Troopies for $500 - wow, things have changed!!! Plus I think I got the last station wagon panels left in Australia....
@@JOHNROOTHROOTHY yeah i get that lol. I cant really make up my mind. I want it to be a family tourer. Something we can hit the road in with a days notice etc and almost be able to live out of it. Some days i think the 80 chassis is the way. Make it more comfy abit wider and less likely to roll. Or if i throw some parabolic springs in there and some 60 or 75 diffs etc. I just dont know lol. Cant make an old car perform like a new one but i dont like new cars. Cant win haha
That green tractor must have been the model before Milo hey John! XD
Hahaha. Yep. Always thought of Milo as more tractor than car!!
awesome stuff. got enough lollies?
love this, what is milo please? not seen roothy before
Nissan...good
Gidooaayy all you Aussies..
I thought they only use name 4runner in the USA ..
Down in Strayaa they call it Hilux Surf..
No worries. Cheers mate *beer*
We had them here too! And lots of grey imports -
Do it for the cutlets !
36:56 - Thats got to be a young Shaun Whale? Looks like he's about 25 there
Shaun's been in the game since he was a lad - always keen!
Saw the name Levuka
Watching from Fiji
Me too! Was hoping he was in Fiji! haha
Got better turning circle then a Toyota any day
I've been wondering how Milo got his name... and then I went to the supermarket and saw a green tin of Milo chocolate drink. I'm willing to bet that was the inspiration for the name.
Wow
Unbelievable
Sure was - your guts felt like a milkshake after a decent track!!!
I do miss these videos 😭
yeah, me too.....
Hey Roothy, absolutely stocked you read the comments! Any links to what you're up to now?
So much better than 4wd 247. Real 4×4ing
We were lucky back then - not so much about selling stuff as see ing what was possible.
Yer
roothy got to have new tyres on her . she needs mud claws . like the 4 runner . she wont have a problem then
The Nissan driver broke a rule--never wear a seatbelt on a water crossing! Big no no!
feels more British than the more modern one today
Great Video thanks for releasing it ... don’t you blokes know how to get a tie rod or ball joint off by smacking the side with a hammer? Those presses and ball joint forks are shit .
Ball joint presses are excellent for removing ball joints (crucial to do it slowly since they're an interference fit) but in this case, its probably just a combination of trying to do this out in the scrub with limited time, and the press not being made to remove the joint in question that caused the tool and ball joint to break. Or just a common mistake, happens every now and again
It’s funny how they bag out the patrol at the start but that 4 runner was breaking constantly
Yep, but the blokes drove that thing hard too! Before and after this trip!!!
What year is that video? Greetings from Germany!
G'day Robert - from Australia - I think it was about 2012, had more hair back then....
Opened it....saw how many adds there was....closed it!
ad blocker champ
Wonder how long that turd of an engine 3.0l lasted
Err, funny you said that - not long actually....
very expensive trail..Not rich enough try that trail..
glenno surprrised the nissan didnt stop till the top ,,,why
Whatever happened to Brenno?
Goos question - last seen somewhere on the central coast of NSW - probably eating a pie.
There’s videos are move better to watch then the 4wd247 new videos. It feels like just get the vehicle u got and go out there the new 4wd 247 is like build tue best rig you can and they drive it.
How’s milo going?
Yep, but important thing is she got there under her own steam - and smoke...
Where is your mahindra roothy
Gave the test Pik Up back - and hanging out ever since, might have to buy one to play with!
Assalamualaikum bos aku yudiber
fuck me dead talk about making something easy look hard for tv
This must be old
Brilliant video. Nissan - 1, Toyota - 0 (x2). Tell me Roothy, why do you Tojo fellas always rave on about your Lamecruisers, Foreskins, Playdos & Shitluxs when you're constantly outperformed by Gods best creation, the NISSAN! ... Just messing with ya. Levuka's a top spot, been there twice myself. Was made even better with my R50 Pathfinder recovering an 80 series that couldn't get up the hill I got up!
Yeah sure - try beer goggles.... opn ya mate!
I didn’t get it , you said lovely nature ...beautiful place ect.. but at the same time destroying everything front of you with yours big 4x4 diesel cars 😂
I truly miss 4wd action the 4wd 24/7 is just shit now
camera position is not good, we cant see clearly , please improve, and do something new, all yours video are same thing nothing something new
That low lux is not a truck it,s just a useless toy..
