Heads up to anyone in the same situation with welding on the side of the track. You are best to link two batteries in Series, not parallel. Three is best, but two will fully charged starter batteries will work. With the voltage doubled, you only need half the amps.
I have a 36 volt 100 amp aircraft alternator I'm going to mount to the truck, got it from an old welder. He said it would burn in any rod he's tried. It's worth it to mount, I drive older vehicles and you just never know.
I reckon your Kimberley episodes are your best ever. This has similar themes and was epic. Your long range touring in remote locations are amazing. I personally like them better than winching over the biggest rockstep, but hey - this channel has something for everyone!
Absolutely love seeing Ruben and big Timbo on all these trips with the boys, Ruben bashes panels in a freshly chopped car and just laughs about it and doesn’t let it phase him on camera and Timbo when his adrenaline kicks in going through a tough bit of track seeing him so pumped it’s awesome hope they are on the show for many many more years to come
"If you start pulling out a tree when winching, stop immediately to save the tree" Nek minit chainsaw out, cutting trees down to get the boat rig through 😂
Learning tons from you guys 👌. Maybe get the camera boys in front of the cameras when having the gourmet meals. Makes it a wholesome off-road family affair.
Loved Rueben's Monty Python hat and Shauno's drunken declaration of love for his fish. Also stoked that the Jetboil sponsorship pays enough that you can afford to drink beer that you actually like.
I sit and cry when I watch these awesome videos bc this is what I use to do all the time before I became disabled and can't hardly walk or stand now due to diabetes. Sometimes I put myself in with shauno going up some of these hills and camping wherever we stop. I had a awesome Ford explorer xlt with 35s and front and rear air lockers with dual front and rear winches rated at 50,000lb pulling power each. Yes I know they were way too much power but I was gaurenteed to get out from anywhere as long as there was a winch point. I had everything in that vehicle for recovery and camping but the sad part is I went through a creek very fast like a idiot and the water somehow got into the snorkel and sieze up the engine.All that put me out of work and I lost my job and ended up losing my drivers license to child support and etc. I couldn't afford to get it fixed so I sold it but I couldn't drive anyways. So now I watch you guys a dream of the good ol days. Keep the great videos coming.
We spent 3 weeks out in lorrella Springs this place is the last truly breathtaking untouched frontier in Australia we haul a expanda outback caravan out there an stayed and went to many spots on this amazing place. 2024 is when we return all 7 of us if any asks any one 5 children favourite spot an place it lorrella Springs as there os so much to do from easy tracks to some of the hardest tracks you can want this is a special place so let's be responsible an respect this place so for many many years to come our children an there children. The thing that blows your mind that only some were between 10% to 13% has been discovered out of a place that the ACT can fit in side lorrella Springs station land mass can't wait straight out there after the wet season. It's a credit to Rhett his wife an his boys and all the helps out there especially those who do the wet season and cyclone season well done 👏
I am a 12 year old, i love these videos and 4wd in general, we go to cooma every school holidays and all the kids drive a 1980s mitsubishi pajero and we call it the green machine, it is lovely and i want to drive it right now. I went 4wding in this massive wheat growing field and their was a mud patch i sunk into, just me and my mum , i was driving, i gunned it backwards and woo wee i’m out, i decided not to wait and 1st gear low range and i buried the accelerator. one of my dreams is to get a heart on this channel, it would make me so happy
Seen them in Port Douglas this Arvo in Craiglie, Shaun was in his 79 this time. Maybe the 30 went home and he took his tourer instead. Mitz 79 looks like it's brand-new but Shaun's 79 Farrr there's heaps az up here in white but Shaun's you can tell straight away beast. Surprisingly silent. Camera car👌may aswell be every other Gu ute up here lol
Once Northern Australia gets in your blood you’re hooked for life. There’s no better feeling exploring mother natures best kept secrets in the best place on earth💪💪 man oh man just heaven
fascinating content. I'm from Sri Lanka, and into traveling off road myself. However, have not been able to hit the tracks lately due to the fuel crisis currently prevailing here in Sri Lanka. Well this is the next best thing, and thank you for that. Very refreshing!
I trully love this channel and the riding videos they are such an inspiration to go on a adventure and go out have fun with friends and find unique moments Big Love from Portugal keep at it guys
that was amazing. loved it very much. ❤ my favorite parts were when at the end you guys came out to the ocean I think that view off the drone was epic mate. and the nissian carring the boat through all this shocked me. what beast of a vehicle. this is my favorite off road channel. I cant believe how much fun land you guys have on Australia. like a billion miles of fun. love everything about all this. I remember watching Kimberly I thought that was cool cause you couldnt see over the huge tall grass and you had to go over it with your vehicles. it was like no one ever went trough there and it was like virgin jungle , that seen was my favorite. it's like a movie but real life. ❤❤ love from nyc
"If your winching and you see the tree pulling out, back off and try another tree" Nek minnit Rubin cant get his boat thru so better get the chainsaw out 🤣🤣.
What an episode, you guys outdone yourselves with this one. Watching this Lorella adventure has me super excited for our Fraser holiday, might have to head off for a sneaky weekender before then.
I’m starting fall in love with the “Australian Outback” (not sure if I’m saying that correctly) because of these videos. I’m from the USA and have never experienced anything close to this. Thanks for the awesome videos, if you keep making them my family and I will keep watching them.
24 volts works a lot better than 12 for welding, you'd also need different rods. Even better you can get small proper welders that will work with the big inverters you have in a couple of the rigs.
the boys need to go watch some trail mater! I got myself a china special 165mma/flux core mig that i use for fabrication in my driveway most of the time runs off a standard 10a socket. its about the size of a battery and as heavy as a large laptop. If i go remote, im packing it.
@@Weq5ter Yes it is a pity we don't get those compact onboard welders here. Not that they'd work easily with any of those rigs, with their computer controlled throttles. Yeah there's so many good compact welders out there these days it's a no brainer to pack one where you're going remote or extreme. The other thing I don't understand is why Reuben didn't do any work to the trailer before they left apart from larger tyres.
No shit I’m first I want to use this platform for something useful. I’m on Search and Rescue, if you can, get a 2 way PLB like the inreach or Spot makes one too. It makes responding much smoother
Got to tell you guys this was one of the best series!!! You guys are living the dream. It's actually the very reason why I have started my own channel and started supporting the local Suzuki Jimny clubs in South Africa 🇿🇦
Best crew on this trip for sure😎 love these Remote long trip episodes something a lil different then smashing tough trucks 👌🏼on ya boys living the dream
What a great bunch of blokes you are, I love your Aussie spirit and hunger for adventure in our great big backyard! I'm so glad I found your channel... 🇦🇺💪
Good one boys. I’m actually pretty impressed that after all these years you’ve never had to leave a 4bie and come back for it. I know the Mits 79 was close to being left, but you still managed to get him out which was infinitely impressive
On your bush welding attempt, sethjxl comment earlier had it right. Connecting the two batteries in series, not parallel, will give you 24 volts and only need half the amps. Way back in 1989, I had to do just that on a trip back from Cape York, in my Subaru 4WD wagon, after the broken torsion bar repair using a piece of gum tree changed things, and the rear end started to crack the mounting points. It worked, the weld was still holding a couple of years later. Yes, it was a real adventure, I was on my own at the time,
Great stuff again, guys. Respect for the work put in both in front of and behind the camera. And some glorious photography, really a classy and at the same down to earth production!!!
World class trip! Watch all the episodes and there have been several times I said to myself, “That is the best episode ever!” But this has to be my favorite so far. Amazing production!
Shauno was a few sheets to the wind cooking up that barramundi 😂. Looked absolutely epic, doesn't get any better than fish and chips with fish caught that day
Lorella was epic - what was your favourite moment? Tell us below!
Favourite part was seeing that estuary open up to the ocean, absolutely unreal guys 👍🏻🎣
Hard to pick!! I hang on every release 4WD 247 release, the production the characters the places, epic watch evey time. Thank you
Come down to brisban mate
My favorite moment is when the Graham met the Shauno.
Fav moment when graham actually gave the dmax some berries

Totally agree. I have had allot more luck using batteries in series for welding.
Also gp's like 4113 electrodes in 2.5mm work well. Low hydrogen electrodes although are dc electrodes dont work on batteries
Quality comment 🤟😎
@@gasnxt6805 is that because of the higher power needed to burn in a low hydrogen rod?
I have a 36 volt 100 amp aircraft alternator I'm going to mount to the truck, got it from an old welder. He said it would burn in any rod he's tried.

Spot on Henk
I really enjoy episodes with Reuben, doesn't matter what happens he's smiling, laughing and having the time of his life, fantastic.
Shaun’s conversations while cooking after quite a few beers are hilarious
Yeah he was two parts pissed
Yeah it's the only part of the show that's actually genuine🤣
He sounded pissed when they were crossing that little water hole where the 30 got stuck
Love it 🤣
Ikr
Shauno whipping up the Barra wraps after some cool refreshments was the highlight
The man can hold his drink with the best of them
I just genuinely love Reuben's sense of humor. Always smiles and laugh.
This has got to be the best thing I watched all year. This isn’t a 4WD show this is a friendship and life show. Have to watch it twice now!
Sean-o has smashed it out of the park with the Barra wraps. 5 chefs hats!
Reuben y62 is a beast man....that patrol,take off like theres no tomorrow...thats how 900+nm torque looks like..insane
Is it just me or was Shawn’o totally loaded while he was cooking??!! 😂😂
Towards the end when he was finishing up the cooking I recon he was actually impressively pissed! Seemed to keep it on the DL pretty good though.
I thought they both were 🤣
haha I was gunna post the same comment. 100% crist as a picket...love it.
Yep, good on him for pulling it off, go Shauno
100% haha
