Fantastic job Tyler. Fancy a weekend away with the boys with 4WD'ing being the hero. Not drinking, not talking shit, not campfires or even cooking. Just good old driving, planning your line and enjoying company with friends. I would drive with you anytime. Cannot wait for Part 2.
Great video. That Hilux looks like it has 1mm of down travel at static ride height. It would probably do a lot better if the front end was cranked down a bit.
Yeah he's going to get it sorted this week mate, not something you notice when you're driving it but then easy to see when you get it filmed in slo motion haha
Tyler, if you don’t hug the lantana on the creek drive at the end it’s all bad. Went up there just after New Years. 15mins from my place. You could’ve crashed here. Plenty or room for swags, water views by the pool and a dedicated beer fridge. Have a look at beers gears & LowRange for the creek drive
Yep we had a bit of trouble on that bit of the creek drive in part two haha we tried to hug the lantana but myself and ryan both slipped in, Dad was the only one who managed to hold the line
Just got my first 4x4 recently 2001 Pajero, not the ducks nuts but good enough to learn, in Coffs local, been out England’s a few times but yet to hit that 3 bears trail, it’s epic. Love the vids mate.
Love this channel way Better then the others, covers a lot more aspects and the videos show more of what’s going on, it’s not all about the channel hosts, even the cooking segments are better, new subscriber here,binge watching all the videos.....thanks from nz
With your old mans Mux I think you need to turn traction control back on after you select low range... just a thought might be worth a try if hasn’t already tried. Great vid hanging for part two 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Yeah the NAV! Watching all your videos from the beginning, love your content and this is definitely the best yet! Hopefully I'm getting my navara end of this year 💪
Great work, all the vehicles did really well on extremely difficult tracks, and the nav seems to have really good crawl capabilities very impressive, enjoyed watching, looking forward two part two........
At 34k views, not sure why there isn't 33,300 more likes.. come on crew, help the man out - this was epic and he clearly ran several marathons up and down the hills to film it for us. Smash that button. Stay safe dude, last thing you need is a maxtrax to the head, even 10+m back!
That was wicked, great driving by all. Can tell the video doesn’t do it justice as to how steep it would be in person. Bet you had to stay hydrated with all the nervous sweating going on 😂
It might just be the sound on the video mate, couple of people said they over a year ago on an older video but had it check over and couldn't find anything and sounds normal in real life
Mate love your videos,got a nav my self with all the bells and whistles including front locker and id still be scared attempting commando,would love to get up there later in the year
Mate !! That Navara surprised the heck out of me. With the mods you have done it has make your Ute a heavyweight contender in the off road department. Respect ✊.
Thanks mate, sure was! We were looking at that before. He said it started when he put the 33's and new suspension in but he also said he took the front sway bar out, so I'm thinking thats why? Because the front has lost all its stabilisation with no sway bar?
@@TylerThompson90 I doubt it would be the sway bar. That has no effect on the alignment. How big is the lift? I'm not the greatest with IFS but I'm thinking more likely a steering arm or control arm issue.
@@TylerThompson90 If it is 3" & he didn't do the control arms & steering arms I'd definitely be thinking that's where the problem is. Could be it needs a diff drop to bring the axles & cv's back into line to. Tell him to throw it on stands & just make sure nothing is bent or flogged out before sending it to a specialist. Hopefully it doesn't cost him too much to get sorted. Again, awesome video mate. Definitely worth the wait 👍👍
Great video mate! Love it. That Lux's front end looks shagged haha. And the poor vd dust buster sounds terrible if your infront of the exhaust, probably be the fuel pump/injectors, but it sounds shagged hahaha
Whoaaa nicely done. That looked like a hell of a track. 👍😎 Love your Navara-built Tyler, and like to see you enjoy the results of that effort. Why the Cruiser makes those knoking engine noise? Sounds pretty unhealthy to me? Ceep on exploring, greets from 🇩🇪, Björn
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video :). I think it might just be the sound over the camera because it sounds find in real life and he's had it checked over and can't find any issues
The steering rack and tie rods are just not coping with the lift and tyre size on that Lux! I'm here watching expecting the wheels to get stuck 90 degrees from each other!
Is there anyway u could put up some rd maps so we could do the same track as u from port area ??? keen to do it.Buy the way great vid mate showing the 4wdrive action boys how to do it lol
Thanks mate! Appreciate it! So Commando trail is on google maps I'm pretty sure, its on Mount Coramba. And Three Bears comes straight off New Englands Road, couple of kms up it on the right, can't miss it
Another narly track video Tyler. I really enjoy watching your adventures. Good to see you all set up now in your new Navara. Does the Mux have any difflocks?
I'm 15mins in and enjoying the footage. I've driven 3rd bear , did you also do 1st and 2nd bears as well? You skipped koala which is one of coffs actual hard trails , you aired down right at the entrance to it. I'll go back to watching now :D
Yep I did see the turn off there to Koala trail, looks pretty insane from the vids I've seen but might check it out next time I'm there. Na didn't do 1st and 2nd bears, didn't know they existed haha are they nearby?
@@TylerThompson90 yep, where you enter England's and then turn right at the top, 1st bear is a little side trail on the right, it weaves around some off camber logs and then back to the main track, then 2nd bear is about 50m up and it takes you through a mild rutted left turn and up to a neat little clearing you could camp in if you wanted. And then as you return to the road, 3rd bear is the one you did. :) I've done it twice in my Xj, yet to do it since adding 33s and a front locker.
Hey mate, nope I don't keep any maps but Commando trail is on google maps I'm pretty sure, its on Mount Coramba. And Three Bears comes straight off New Englands Road, couple of kms up it on the right, can't miss it
another great video as always, good to see a few different cars in the convoy but man do them 70 series cruiser suck off road, no point in a vid v8 if ya can't get up a Little hill ahahah
Is it me, or does that hilux look bow legged at times going up some of those hills? Almosts looks like something in the IFS/steering is busted. Good hard work gents
Fat Guts1971 yeah, i wonder if there is a simple fix for this, Nissan is on top here with this one. Surely its just a simple program change for Toyota.
I saw a vid just the other day where a y62 patrol had a bypass system plugged in that operated the diff lock in high or low range, with or without TC on. Seemed to work great. Could be a fix for toyotas? I am thinking a front locker for my fortuner to overcome the issue, but bypassing the system and engage the rear locker while TC stays on would be a cheaper fix. I think the vid was 4x4 brothers but not sure. I will see if i can find it and post a link in this reply thread.
Like Nissan, ford have it the same with their Ranger; the TC stays selectable - on or off - with the the rear diff lock engaged . The Pajero is the same as the Hilux , however there is an aftermarket bypass available
Tyler Thompson yea lived there and had me first child Coffs Harbour base hospital now live in Brisbane injoy and everyone else clean up after ur self please makes it better for next time cheers and bring the rain at Tamworth atm
Such a sick day, gotta do it again some time soon mate
For sure mate!
The Land Cruiser driver has Rocket's driving style! :D
Haha yep!

Haven't watched it yet but already gave it a thumbs up 🤙🏽 breakfast is on with this on sweet way to start the day!
Appreciate it :)
Excellent vid, that cruiser got some serious wheel in the air action!
Thanks! Yep sure did
Great video. That Hilux looks like it has 1mm of down travel at static ride height. It would probably do a lot better if the front end was cranked down a bit.
Was just about to say the same thing. With zero droop, he bounces all over the place and looses traction. A good example of how not to setup an IFS.
Yeah he's going to get it sorted this week mate, not something you notice when you're driving it but then easy to see when you get it filmed in slo motion haha

Another awesome video mate. You're definitely becoming one of my favourite youtubers. 💪💪💪
Cheers mate :) Glad you're enjoying the videos!
With your old mans Mux I think you need to turn traction control back on after you select low range... just a thought might be worth a try if hasn’t already tried. Great vid hanging for part two 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Hows the flex on the xrox bar!
Yeah someone else did suggest that, not sure if he's doing that or not but will let him know and see how he goes, thanks mate!
Absolutely amazing!!! Fantastic driving from everyone.
Thanks mate!
Love the under belly of the cruiser
Mate, best one yet👍 Great mixed crew and some ballsy tracks. Well done your channel just keeps getting better🍻
Cheers mate, appreciate it!

Nice one guys. Looked like an epic weekend away. Wish I was there.
Thanks mate!
I don't know how your sub count is so low with quality video's like this, keep it up mate.
Thanks mate, appreciate it :)
Looks awesome fun mate. Glad to see your old man using his rig and pushing it. Great work. Keep them coming😉
Cheers mate!
Nice mate! Probaly one of your best videos in my opinion keep it up!
Thanks mate!
Some serious off road stuff there mate. Well done and great to see the "new" Navara mixing it with the best. Rig looks great !! Well done as always !!
Thanks mate! Appreciate it :)
Good workout for the new truck Tyler you should be happy with how it went,good vid cheers mate.🍻
Thanks mate, yep it definitely goes well!
Yeah the NAV! Watching all your videos from the beginning, love your content and this is definitely the best yet! Hopefully I'm getting my navara end of this year 💪
Thanks mate, appreciate it!

Old mate done a good job fitting that suspension 😉
Nar I hope your enjoying it mate
Haha thanks mate!
Awesome trip Tyler. First serious off road trip since the build went quite good.

The 76 was a very committed drive
Yep sure was!
A solid effort by all in this episode, they were some pretty hectic tracks there at times!
Thanks mate! Yep Coffs has got plenty of hectic tracks haha
Wow Epic drives! keep on wheeling! Hi from Canada!
Thank you! :)
Fantastic video-interesting range of vehicles, great camera work and story telling. Been waiting for this one for a while and it didnt disappoint!
Thanks mate! :)
Great work mate. Love the clips!!
Thanks mate!
Tyler you all did very well on commando
Thanks mate!
Good to see you putting that DRIFTA recovery gear to good use. Great vid to BTW.
Thanks mate!
Only just watched this vid! Well done fellas. That was wild haha! Quality entertainment 🤣
Haha thanks mate!
Great clip mate thanks for sharing love all that new recovery gear your using , & that aluminium box you have in the back looks pretty cool 😎 🇦🇺👍
Thanks mate, appreciate it!
Nice one Tyler. I bet that would be more fun in the wet lol. 👍😎🇳🇿
Thank you! Yep would definitely be interesting in the wet haha
Great vid as always mate cant wait for part 2 Cheers Steve
Thanks mate!
Wow unreal tracks ,definitely front and rear locker stuff well done! and thanks for sharing Cheers
Thanks mate :)
That was wicked, great driving by all. Can tell the video doesn’t do it justice as to how steep it would be in person. Bet you had to stay hydrated with all the nervous sweating going on 😂
Thanks mate, yep those hills are very steep in real life haha and big ruts and rock steps on them
The 76 doesn't sound to healthy. Is that an injector rattle, seems to be getting worse. Watching this makes me wanna do another trip to Coffs 👍
It might just be the sound on the video mate, couple of people said they over a year ago on an older video but had it check over and couldn't find anything and sounds normal in real life
that landcruiser is a mean machine
Mate love your videos,got a nav my self with all the bells and whistles including front locker and id still be scared attempting commando,would love to get up there later in the year
Thanks mate! Yep they are pretty scary tracks those ones haha
Yet another great vid mate! The nav always surprises me how capable they are.
Cheers mate! Yep they certainly are capable
Put a safety pin through your seat belt or put a cable tie around it to stop the seat belt retracting all the way 👍wicked video as always mate
Thanks mate, will do that next time :)
good stuff..that hilux looks like it wants to break an axle
Yeah had something wrong in the front end there with a steering arm maybe
Mate !! That Navara surprised the heck out of me. With the mods you have done it has make your Ute a heavyweight contender in the off road department.
Respect ✊.
Thanks mate! Yep they definitely are super capable offroad with a few mods
This place is on my bucket list! Cheers!
Enjoy mate!
Hey mate put a clothes peg on your seatbelt when you're getting out and it won't lock up.
Cheers mate, will give that a go!
Nice one Tyler. Looks like a great day. Somethings not right in the front end of the hilux. It kept going crosseyed coming up Commando.

That Lux's front end looks shagged haha.
And the poor vd dust buster sounds terrible if your infront of the exhaust, probably be the fuel pump/injectors, but it sounds shagged hahaha
Thanks mate! Yeah Mitch is getting his hilux fixed up, think it was a damaged steering arm
Oh my bloody hell mate that was nerve-wracking, I almost shooot in my pants!!!! Bloody Awesome Awesome stuff mate, way to go Tyler mate 👍👍👍
Haha yep some pretty hectic tracks out there. Thanks mate!
Yeah, was worth the wait, epic, can't wait to see the van demonsland vidz,

Cool vid mate nav’s going awesome looking forward to part 2
Thanks mate!
Is there anyway u could put up some rd maps so we could do the same track as u from port area ??? keen to do it.Buy the way great vid mate showing the 4wdrive action boys how to do it lol

Great driving & track!!
Thanks mate!
Another narly track video Tyler. I really enjoy watching your adventures. Good to see you all set up now in your new Navara. Does the Mux have any difflocks?
Thanks mate! Nope doesn't have any diff locks, he will get one or two when he can afford it :)
Awesome video mate and it was a great weekend away, going to have to do something about those springs 👍👍
Good drive mate!
Frank thanks mate 👍
Cheers mate! Yep get those new superior clearance plates in you got, ready for the next trip I take you on ;)
Coil rear conversion mate. lol

hey man im looking at doing a coffs harbour trip in the near future and was wondering if u had a map or something so i could see the same spots
Hey mate, nope I don't keep any maps but Commando trail is on google maps I'm pretty sure, its on Mount Coramba. And Three Bears comes straight off New Englands Road, couple of kms up it on the right, can't miss it
Absolutely stunning mate looked rather hot can't even imagine how hot it was How's the new nav compared to the old one mate 👍
Thanks mate! Yep definitely goes much better then the old one!
@@TylerThompson90 glad to hear it bud
Awesome!! think I need to plan a trip up north :)
Yep we are keen to get up that way soon!
And to think 4wd action pit the nav in last spot in there Ute shoot out. Glad I just bought a series 4 nav and didn't listen to them loved this vid
Thanks mate, yep the nav go really well offroad!
another great video as always, good to see a few different cars in the convoy but man do them 70 series cruiser suck off road, no point in a vid v8 if ya can't get up a Little hill ahahah
Cheers mate
Another great video.... BTW Hema has Commando as "E".......LOL
Thank you! I haven't used the Hema maps before, what does the E stand for? Easy? Or extreme? haha
@@TylerThompson90 E = Easy, M = medium, then single black diamond, then double black diamond, as I understand..........VBG....
They might need to re-visit that rating haha
Would be very different drive at the moment with all the rain
Yep thats for sure
Nice work boys
Thanks mate!
Hey bro just saw your rig up in port, looks awesome up close mate 👍🏼
Thanks mate!
Nice driving Tyler🤘🏼
Cheers mate
Is it me, or does that hilux look bow legged at times going up some of those hills? Almosts looks like something in the IFS/steering is busted. Good hard work gents
Thanks mate, yeah didn't realise on the day but he had a damaged steering arm
@@TylerThompson90 ouch man. Lucky Hilux = reliable
12.10 RIP Hilux front end. Independent front steering lol
Love watching your videos, great job!!!!!🍻🍻🍻
Thank you! :)
You would think these super heavy 4X4's would have front and rear lockers.
Cruiser is twin locked, Hilux and Navara have rear locker only. Will upgrade when I have the money, lockers aren't cheap unfortunately
Maybe look for a sponsor that will cover your armpits and your gear. REXONA... won’t let you down. I’ll keep watching as this is a good show! 👍👍
One day when we get the tank back
Always great footage
Cheers!
Nice bar on that Hilux
What is it?
Not too sure mate, Ill have to message Mitch and ask him
Low range and winching 🤤
Yep!
Nice effort mate. Awesome vid. Cheers
Thanks mate!
I don't know why Toyotas turn the fron TC off when you put the rear diff lock in. Its stupid.
Fat Guts1971 yeah, i wonder if there is a simple fix for this, Nissan is on top here with this one. Surely its just a simple program change for Toyota.

Okay no worries, thanks mate
Another 3 wheel drive 76 haha
Intro music sounded like the weet-bix kid! Lol
no front n rear diff lock on cruiser activated ?

cold gold kb both lockers on but the anchor was out 😂😂😁.

Hectic!
Great video. Thx
Cheers mate!
Hope the 4WD Action guys are watching this after putting the Navara last in there least capable 4WD ute.
Yeah I did see that, I would have to disagree haha
choice bro....
Cheers!
Something is not right with that Hilux's suspension setup. ....
Yeah he's getting it looked at this week
Awesome vid guys, would be awesomer without all the slow mo
Thanks mate
Go sawtell boyss
Give that a go next time
Tyler Thompson yea lived there and had me first child Coffs Harbour base hospital now live in Brisbane injoy and everyone else clean up after ur self please makes it better for next time cheers and bring the rain at Tamworth atm
I had my first child there to and moved to redciffe 13yrs and in Tammworth small world mate
Sunscreen on ya face. Great video
Cheers mate!
Best off roading
Little dude in the back on the Mac is not impressed. :)
So you just showed us how to domthe Commando properly, Shauno showed us how NOT to do it!
Yeah we all make mistakes somewhere along the tracks, hopefully I don't roll the nav one day haha
