- We take the Ford Everest 4WD and Toyota Landcruiser 200 to explore some of the Catherine Hill Bay Area on the NSW Central Coast. A bit of winching action and some beautiful scenery made for a great day out exploring with the family.

Splendid documentary young man
What model Everest do you have sir?
Thank you for these videos. It's truly inspiring to see how you and your family appreciate the outdoors. Also really helped me in my decision to now get an Everest
Thanks mate - its the MY17 Trend 3.2L 4WD
Was up there last weds in my Coily Zook with a mate with a Hummer H3. Great fun, tho i'll be more confident on some tracks with a little lift and proper a/t tyres...
Yeah it’s a fun spot. Did you get down to the rock shelf? The Hummer would have been interesting
@@braydenhowie We did get down to the shelf. Hummer was having no trouble. We got to a spot that was a little too high for me to make, but he went up it with no trouble, did a U-turn and came back down just to see if he could. Its runnning 33's to my current 27's.
Will head back when my lift goes in and possibly get some 29" A/T's.
Nice vid with youee family,👍👍👍Did you lift youre suspension or standard? How about youre fuel tank thats the lowes part...
Thanks mate. Suspension is lifted 2in. I haven’t done anything with the fuel tank, but the guard is mostly missing now. The tank itself is strong and flexible - so far no issues
Gday mate just wondering what road will take me to this track ? Much appreciated
Head up past the bunkers off Mine Camp Rd
Hey mate what brand and size of tyre are you running on your everest?
They’re BFG KO2 in 275/70/17
I hope you used a tree saver when you were winching and not killing the trees. Get a recovery kit and do it properly. Tracks get closed because of environmental damage caused by 4wders not doing the right thing.
Thanks for your concern, but yes I have a full recovery kit and a tree trunk protector was used
Where is this track u speak of lol
Catherine Hill Bay, but I suspect it's days are numbered if it hasn't already been closed
get a Prado, you'll never need a winch. this is not that hard of a climb for a proper 4x4. I have a 1997 Prado , climbs steeps like this at ease. never ever got stuck in my 10 years of driving it.
Yeah, nah. If you have a Prado that's never needed a winch, you simply haven't been driving it hard enough... As for this rock step, the vehicle was hung up on a recovery point - this is a clearance issue only. We could have packed it and it would have climbed fine, but the rear was precariously perched on a very loose edge with enough of a drop to roll the vehicle. So the winch was used for safety. The hardest part of a large rock step is bringing the rear wheels up - you can see in the video that it did that part on its own. I know the Prado well and like it - but off road there is actually very little in it between the Prado and the Everest. But you're welcome to your opinion.
Prados are an an awkward offspring of a proper landcruiser and a Mitsubishi Mirage. Prados are IFS they will always be more limited off-road. Just as the Everest will be. Having A GU Patrol myself I haven't gotten stuck yet. But I know I will, if you never get stuck your not trying hard enough. I would argue a "proper" 4wd has dual live axles, but each to their own ;)
@@willmarks4541 bla bla bla. own it and drive it. save the offspring shit for your child.
