Fun fact: our son Zephyr was conceived on the overgrown track you had to go back through 🤣
What the are you guys monkeys?
@TylerThompson90 so you would say the scratches on your car were very much worth it! 😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂 Priceless
You guys make perfect content, there is the drive, the comentry that is articulate, plus the give and take between you guys. The camera work is outstanding, the best of the offroad community. Genuin without the BS.
Thanks mate ! Appreciate the kind words!!
absolutely!
I came here to write a very similar comment . ^^ this person beat me to it.
Love your content.
if you own a 4wd and it isn't scratched up, you have yourself a mall crawler
I was up the Gibraltar range about 5 or 6 months ago in a B-double.
Liam, it is all about the memories. & every scratch, & every ding, is a story about a memory made. In this case with your brother. One day you will realise it is definitely worth it to make wonderful memories
Happy trails, Cowpokes
Edited, Liam (after finishing the rest of the episode)
Thanks Micah, that's it mate, thanks for the comment!
If all the young people were like you guys the future of 4wd/camping would be set👍
Liam try not to be so hard on yourself about the dent and scratches on your car, it's still your baby! Don't make the mistake of treating it less than it deserves. Buff out the dent, tame down the scratchers, consider putting clear wrap or raptor on it and it will be back to its new self again! Going down the track less traveled always is a bumpy ride but leaves you with memories that you simply can't buy. Your journey is never wasted it is experienced!!!
If you continue to bush bash, I think Liam should invest on a PPF, like the Bush Wrapz. Since his Patrol is a single cab, it shouldn't be too expensive, and will help save paint of his rig for far longer. Great exploring boys. 👍👍
Thanks Hammer Rocks! lucky Liam's scratches don't really show up on the white paint, once we cleaned it they are very hard to see !
My utes got plenty of scratches and marks, and I love it because people ask and I get tell the stories of where I’ve been and what I’ve done 👍its all good fun
Liam may be spewin he scratched his ride, but I’m bloody jealous watching you boys live it up. Great work lads
Welcome to my part of the world. Being a keen white water kayaker we count the Barrington to the boarder as our home waters and bush. So glad you got to enjoy parts of it and film it. 😊
Liam I feel you mate. It's really hard to get to the point of having some real 4x4 pride and then see it scratched or dinted. You're allowed to be annoyed. And all the "but that's what it's made for" doesn't matter.
Another great episode gents. I can totally relate to Liam. My 80 Series still has its original paint and nowhere near as pristine as Liam's (nor anywhere near as bad as Patrick's), but I still don't like it when I'm exploring and end up on tracks that gets overgrown half-way through. I still cringe badly when I hear twigs and/or small branches brushing against my 80. Bushwrapz is the go. Plus if you continue to bush-bash, you should invest in a machete. Thanks for sharing the experience. 👍
Thanks Fatman ! Yeah i've gotta get the buff out on the 80 soon see what we can do hahaha !
If you can leave a pin or something for the head of the trail that went to private property, you can share it so others dont make the same trip. My outing with my club today we came across a few private property barriers, and ive done this. Marked em and will be recording it for later reference. Its the benefit we have now of a very technological society.
Liam, that frustration and anger will fall to the side. The paint can be fixed, again, the dints pulled out. But the memories youre having the chance to make are all worth it. And i am a little envious of the trip you boys have just had, thankyou for sharing it with us.
Actually genuinely loving these videos
Great content mate, camera and drone work is good, editing on point. Short enough to keep a viewer wanting more.
I just got to Kalgoorlie after driving from Brisbane (via Sydney). Kal marks the start of my partner (who was working in Kal) and I embarking on our first West Coast trip kicking off in Esperance tomorrow.
I picked up one of those black bag camp showers for the trip, haven’t used it yet, but I’m excited to give it a crack when we camp the first time on this trip!
great to see you using those rigs for what theyre meant for - nice ep guys 😊
Great job guys
The Man River is such an awesome spot, I went threw there last year did a pretty similar trip to you guys from Vic to Qld and back hitting up all the similar spots, I find it really funny and weird nsw and qld are so coastal focused there inland mountains, forest and rivers are amazing the great dividing range 👌🏻
You did such a good job on your GQ Liam should be very proud just needs some lockers now and some internal air bead locks and it will be unstoppable, Scratches and Dints are badges of honour, funny stories and great memories in years to come which is priceless, Nothing better than seeing a well used 4wd and hearing the trips and stories to go with it
As always, loving the content. Looking forward to the collab with Tyler..!
Just glad NSW turned on the good weather for you guys 👍🏽
Bloody lovely fellas looks like some wicked exploring up there keen to check out a heap of inland NSW one day. . Yeah you can either keep your car like show pony or use the thing as it should be personally love the off the beaten track lesser driven tracks never know what hidden gems are out there and only way to find out. Rebuild my GQ years ago and was beautiful but she gets used, give it a freshen up every few years still like good and enjoy the thing without stressing. . You did the right thing painting yours in Velspar Liam bloody tough paint that stuff will take a beating👍👍
I’m sure wheeling with TT helped with the scratches 😅 keen for that ep
Hahahaha it was pretty wild!
I certainly understand Liam's complaint. The odd battle scar from a tough track is one thing, but the constant pin stripes from trying to push through overgrown tracks (especially if you don't know where they end) gets very tired very fast. A PPF wrap goes a long way to alleviating some of the frustration. Just be thankful you don't have a shiny metallic paint job like me that shows up every single tiny scratch 😅
Such a shame about the graffiti on the tunnel. This is why we cant have nice things. 🙄 Love the big fridge. We've got a 100l Brass Monkey at a deal too good to refuse... Do not regret it at all. Overkill is just the right size. Used it for 2 months worth of Canning Stock Route/Central Australia travel it was fantastic not having to restock our meat in remote places.
Fantastic Scenery. Your content is just so watchable!
I reckon if I were to respray a 4wd, I would raptor liner and thin it out. Thinned versions look so good and are really durable. Liam's white Patrol would look mint, best part is those little bush strips wouldn't cause any issue at all. Happy camping and safe travels guys 🥳🥳
Great work. None of us like to see our hard work dmamged by use, but it's in the use we reap the benefits of the hard work. I've used those 'bush showers' and when, at the end of a hot and dustry day, you can get clean it's a great feeling. Thanks for making and sharing!
100% cheers mate!
I invested in a portable Coleman gas hot water system for the missus and kids last summer. Game changer! I even took it on a recent boys trip to use for myself. A hot shower to feel clean after a dirt bike ride was amazing and I didn't care what anyone said :)
Build a grocery getter if you are worried about scratching your freshly built 4wd, ive built a fair few tough cars and 4wds, decide what you plan on doing with them first and build it accordingly. Scratches and dents are pretty much inevitable when doing remote country 4 wheel driving. I get its annoying but in turn you get what you pay for. As much as raptor coat is shit, a real thin coat can still look good and prevent scratches. And that’s coming from someone that does not like raptor coat haha, never the less awesome video as always.
Well done lads top video as always
Best 4wd / Camping content on UA-cam
Another good episode boys love ya work 🤙
Cheers Brayden !
Heads up liam ol' boy ... atleast she got battle damage in the bush and not dented in a shopping centre car park 😉👍
Have you thought about getting the Patrol bush wrapped? Won't stop the dents but will save the paint work. Awesome episode as always
Good job lads.
Epic guys! Been to this area many times to another famous camp spot outside Grafton but never seen or heard of the places you went to. So cool. Just goes to show 😊
Thanks mate!!
I nearly guarantee that dozer works just fine. The fact its not fully overgrown suggests it gets fired up one every couple years to scratch out a fence line and track or two
Old mate has finally got a sign up! This wasn't the case when I went through a few years back. I got ripped a new one by the world's angriest old man. Good content lads!
Super professional video Patrick, very very nice, and stocked to see you work with Tyler.
Thanks mate! excited to show you !
Looks like some cool places around there, bloody Lantana taking over scratching your car. Great filming
Can't wait for the next one with T T , good vid enjoy NSW
Chin up Liam. I understand it's frustrating and dints aside, scratches alone are invevitable and duco on a 4x4 used as it was intended will always cop it. Only suggestion (which I'm yet to do) is wrap the car (e.g. bushwrapz protective film) or magnetic protection (e.g. Rhinohide). Thanks for sharing gents. Cheers
Excellent content
Hey Guys, thanks for your content, loved the Mann River video, looking forward to your trip with Tyler, you guys would be my favourite UA-camRS, along with Timmy has heart & JAFFA ADVENTURES 👍I realy appreciate the no BS over reaction you see on the other major Aussie 4x4 shows.
Thanks mate, grouse to be along side some other legends!
Epic Installment. I have Rhinohide panels on my fourbie, something to look into maybe.
If you want swimming holes rivers and natural rock waterslides you need to visit north Queensland starting just north of Townsville at paluma then all the way north into amd beyond Cairns..!!
ya can't have a fancy mall crawler and use in the way it's meant to be and expect it to still win show and shine.
. Fact of life. love your stories boys.
Look at the scratches like an investment. Keep up the awesome content and one day sponsors will throw stuff at you and you’ll deck out a rig
Everything is warmer than Victoria? Haha my backyard. Love it
Track definitely comes out near that farm! We did it literally the day before you guys went through!
i get Liam wanted to keep the cab clean as possible because of the effort he put in. doing wat u guys r doing was never going to happened. i thought with all the effort Liam went to he wud have wrapped the cab in clear PPE or used raptor white paint to help with the scratches. the 4bys r taking u to all parts of aussieland for the sights n memories, that comes with the scratches n road rash. can always repaint it in a few years mate.
I love my battered body panels. Each dent is a memory.
Ultimately you must decide, are you a parking lot warrier or an offroad adventurer?
GQ's are not meant to stay on sealed roads, hell sometimes you need to use the winch just to get them back on the unsealed roads (was teaching my nephew to drive offroad, got one new dent out of that experience).
Nice production
Beautiful part of NSW
Next time for brushy areas get some of the wires they used on the Land Rover camel trophy vehicles. They run bullbar to roof rack. Unsure how well they do, but if it helps it helps.
Gday, I feel your pain Liam, your got good reason to be pissed mate, a lot of effort money and time went into build your ultimate 4wd but now I think it’s time for a bushwarp, great episode, cheers
I feel you guys need to get over here in SA and do the Flinders Ranges, Arkaroola and the Gawler Ranges, you guys will have a great time
Liam needs to get raptor paint coating and then he needn't worry so much. I've scratched the crap out of our brand new ute and I'll be getting a raptor paint coat for it soon!
If you want to protect your paint from light pin striping get some good quality self healing clear wrap. Obviously it won’t stop the big hits but will protect from light rubbing on trees and clay banks.
Cheers Pat
That's some beautiful but rough Country boys, shame about the weather. Very brave of you to camp in the river, water levels can change very quickly! Check out ontap 12v jerry can showers, I'm not affiliated/ just a paying customer, they're excellent 👌🏽
Definitely going to get one of them camp showers🤙
Bugger that. Just grab a joolca hot tap or similar.
Gas bottle. Instant hot water.
The damage sucks but the experience is worth it cant wait for the next one boys
Hey Liam there’s a company called bush wrapz that make a clear film for your panels that scratch’s heal in sun and you will have perfect paint underneath great product
Look at bush skins or a bush wrap. When you get home the car a good cut and polish you might even be able to pdr some of those dents out. Top content though boys not even the bigger 4wd channels have covered these type of tracks well done.
Hey guys I have a new product I have made for that exact reason scratching your rig up when in the bush , there only for your bar work more for colour coded ones but I have black bars and use them they work perfect , I will send you a picture of them , scrub sleeves
Yeah I feel Liam especially keeping it clean haha but it’s battle scars 😂
That's it hahaha !
Looks like a lovely drive except that bloody over grown lantana. That crap is the worst weed out there. I know Liam loves how he has done the Patrol but honestly look at Predator Protective Coating for the car. Same stuff Tyler has on the GQ. It cops a real beating and holds up great. A little harder to wash tree sap and stuff from but dirt etc comes off easy.
I think Liam needs to invest in some Bushwrapz or similar! Haha
It is definitely gutting when you have put so much into the car. Maybe look into some PPF to help reduce the scratching
Wont help for dents. But if u wax or get ur paint ceramic coated before the trips itl help with the scratching.
Would love to know what track the dozer is on would love to go see it love seeing old forgotten machinery
You guys should get a wrap coating to protect against scratches
Great vid, you guys are levelling up your game big time. However, when the going got a little tougher, we got to see who kept the content rolling, and acted as the bigger man… as was said perfectly, if you wanna use your car, it’s not gonna stay pretty.
Yip some awesome camp spots, best spots r the ones not listed & the ones you find exploring, cheer up Liam it’s a 4wd , their called beauty lines
hahaha that's it !
you used to be able to get magnetic sheets that cover your guards when out in the bush and when you get back on the road, you just peel them off and your paint would be untouched.
are they still a thing?
great great episode. shakey leg a fry/ frustrated
I remember telling you about the Mann river campsite at the Brissy show mate! Didn't think you'd actually go haha
Yeah had to check it out! Such an awesome place!!
Sucks the gq was so clean but least now i guess the bandaid has been ripped off and liam can really put it thru it's paces
Getaway a clear tough wrap
i like the minecraft background music hahah ... rippa vid as always
🇦🇺 Aussie On Guys 👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers Rosco !
I see why dan didn't join you guys on this part of the journey . Doing that tight track would have had him in tears
Bush wrapz. Scratches sorted
Put PPF on and if you a dint you would likely be able to do paint-less dint removal
Some look at that track & say "it doesn't go anywhere".
I look at that track & say "it goes to a fishing spot".
It's all about perspective.
A set of pruning shears & a tomahawk are very handy if you know you're going into overgrown territory.
Dents scratches and broken shit are part of the journey guys.
Should’ve raptor coated ya ute, it’s grouse i got no scratches on my GU ute. But hey that’s just my opinion.
This area is home for me. You have found gods country.
Yeah it was bloody impressive!!
The tunnel and road was built by convicts by hand a great achievement
Shaun. Not by convicts.
The Carved Tunnel
The Old Grafton Road was constructed using civilian labour during the 1800s. One highlight is the short tunnel carved out of the rock a few kilometres east of Dalmorton.
Scrawled upon its ceiling is graffiti dating from the 1880s - written in black paint, each figure finished with a curl so typical of the era.
@@grahameroberts8109 thanks, I just looked it up your right I was told years ago it was convict. Don’t believe everything you hear
Why not wrap (clear wrap) the GQ ? only real way to protect the paint from all the damage that could happen?
Liam, get bushwrapz ppf for $600 and you will never worry about scratches again
hi guys
Wikicamps is good for mainstream camp sites. But I have 10+ rediculously gorgeous spots next to creeks/rivers/beaches/cliffs that id NEVER put on wikicamps. 90% are secrets spots only known by the small town locals. Theyre not shared because people come in the hundreds from suburbia for a big bender and leave cans, rubbish, sh*t and drug paraphernalia everywhere, they then piss off and leave it for us country locals to clean up. The best camp spots in this country are kept secret for a reason.
Great episode guys. Patrick, what happened to your Joolca hot water system? How the 4WD system works, is how long your car will stay unscathed is the exact inverse of what it cost you to buy or restore. In other words the less it is worth the longer it will stay unscathed.
As it was just me, I wasn't too worried about showers, plus it takes up a bit of room and since we had all the merch on board from the Brisbane 4x4 show just had no room for it, this is a much smaller option!
@@AussieArvos Thanks Patrick, very good point, hadn't realised that lol.
Upcoming episodes for doing raptor coats?
Glenn Innes is a beautifil spot
yo ive been to the tunnel graften road hill that was like 10 years ago broo it hasnt really changed since ay
Yeah the tunnel was bloody awesome! cool to see it like that because i reckon one day they will do something to it !
It’s called the big hill by us locals
You guy's went through our property where the bulldozer was. You past a huge "Private Property keep out" sign. please keep this location secret!
How does the track or road go through your property? Can you explain access rules? My understanding was if its a marked gazetted track you need to provide access.
@@jamesmcpherson297 Ask the New South wales Nation Parks, they do it all the time. However, I know where they were is not a gazetted road and it leads to our property. If you don't have land beyond a property and you do not need access, the property owner can, gate fence and keep trespassers out. The bull dozer is not abandon nor broken down, just parked.
Where’s that spot by the river u camped at ?
Looks like fun, how deep are the water crossings on average?
Not too deep! Bottom on the bullbar on the deepest ones
@@AussieArvos Mate I drive a Daihatsu Charade, I have no concept of how deep that is in a measurement.
