That was a GWM Ute and they have actually decent running gear. 8 speed ZF gearbox, Borg Warner transfer case and Harrop rear locker. They are also legal for 33s. Seen a few crawl up rocks easy.
Everything is good with the GWM, the gearbox, the interior, the transfer case, except for the engine. 400nm is really tiny for a ute but considering its price, its really a decent ute
@@wyc4934 The cannon is actually 200kgs lighter then most other dual cabs so it makes up for that lower torque. I just climbed a mud hill on a steep incline in my gwm. Where a Navara and ranger got stuck and needed winch.
@@wyc4934 also, it’s long wheel base is the same as the new rangers and amaroks so it destroys other utes in steep climbs and towing stability. Also is the one of the widest utes in its segment.
Roku was amazing! Especially sitting there with a cold one. That rain on the Bamaga rd was fun! Just missed you at the BP at Bamaga but you saw the rest of our crew. Fun times crossing that river. Love the adventures you all have! Can’t wait to get to Finke next year.
I was at the Sydney 4x4 show Matty on Friday seen ya there said Good day shook ya hand cause your a friendly dude, it was a great day out i had a good time...... oh and good video thanks.
We've been on the road for 4 months. Left Adelaide and did Strezleki, Windorah Rd, Savannah Way from Booroloola to Hells Gate, Burketown, Normanton through to Cairns. Haven't seen rain in 4 months. Everybody else has been hit hard, but not us WTF?
The Ute you guys came across was actually a GWM ute, a Chinese ute not the Korean SsayngYong. Its a ute with over 230k units sold a year globally so I'm sure its got its reliability issue sorted out.
One of the Best Shows I have seen of all 4wd shows. Good on you all that’s testing gear out, to the max knowing what you can & can’t do. The water crossing reminded me of Sam’s first big trip with the Boys got stuck in the Wenlock River. Again awesome honestly how good is Australia. Thanks heaps terrific. Ps walking that river carry a 30/30 for your safety snapping hand bags
@@theexplorelife ok cool they must be good the amount of tracks you've put them through and they still performing I've got a duel cab Hilux and I put her through her paces on the Pdr ott was definitely a eye opener I'll have to look into them thanks brother
what better way to end a Sunday than having a Larry while watching an Explore life episode 🤙🏻. Loved watching your Cape trip Matty.. Bring on nexts weeks
Matty got sick of being surrounded by couples 😂😂
Nahh old loves jusy a hoe 🤣🤣
Nav is is a good person to have in the Nav seat. He has a lot to add to the channel.
Ahhhah...lill miss potty mouth when the macca popped....lol...cool vid...Nice venture out.

Great episode guys, safe travels, can't wait for next episode.
That crossing was nuts
Didn't realise what a chuffing jezzabell Sam was until these episodes!
Good work love the adventure!

We've been on the road for 4 months. Left Adelaide and

We crossed that river on our bikes a few years ago... It was in considerably better shape that that though!
Wicked trip. As always Nav is the man 👍👍

Cracking episode lads, well done.
Always love the Eps. Currently in Bremer bay watching this in the trailer
Great ep Matty and Nav!
Epic content as always mate..Great way to end the Sunday.👌👌
Awesome vid as always guys
There’s a short cut from Boulia to Alice only takes 6 hours under the pump 🤝
Matty great episode today!! Really enjoyed it 👍🏻
Put Nav on Full Time
Just did to the tip Pdr was full on what suspension do you run must be good gear to stand up to all the tracks you hit 👌🏻
hey mate all Kings remote res shocks 👌 makes such a difference.
@@theexplorelife ok cool they must be good the amount of tracks you've put them through and they still performing I've got a duel cab Hilux and I put her through her paces on the Pdr ott was definitely a eye opener I'll have to look into them thanks brother
Good way to spend a gloomy/rainy morning here in the states, catchin up on your vids 👍.
Awesome Ep
wonderful episode
men the ssangong & mahinda & Tata.. will eat a ToJo and you know I'm right 😀😀👍👍👍
Nice one 🤙👍
Don't think it was a Ssangyong. Great Wall Canon guys. Great content though.
bloody sensational job lads ! Sam having a stress lol. Explore Life for the win 🏆
Awesome adventure 😎 Love the content 👌 Greetings from south africa 🇿🇦 😀
Good ep lads, how’s the boat been on your trips? Think about getting one
UPPA !!!!!!!! LEGENDS TUFFEUF4CRUSIN
Was that the Statten River? The washed out crossing one at 14.30
what better way to end a Sunday than having a Larry while watching an Explore life episode 🤙🏻. Loved watching your Cape trip Matty.. Bring on nexts weeks
Happy days
Matt baker #lovesablonde……😀
Yeeeew 🤙🏻
Imagine a ssangyong fully kitted and with body lift etc , insane
It’s Normanton not Normington lads. Great episode. That is outstanding country going that route. Have done it in my 79 too.
Yep. That was annoying me too. 😆
Yeah bud put some portals on the ssangyong and jack it up and send it haha
matty how long did it take to do Musgrave to normanton ?
that outboard needs a good wash and a bag
epic
I just wanna come send it with you and navvy at the pub
Ssangyong are solid n strong, test one, they have been tested well in Africa.... I have one, they ain't that bad
Bro I think a Ute cleaning video would be sick
How many boxes of tapes did she smack?
Shapes
Its a GWM cannon not a Ssanyong 😅
Wouldn’t mind seeing matty getting an untameable rig. I.E. LSA swap the crappy 3 litre out of the explore GU ute and just go wild on it with mods.
Your shout
@@matty_isthemotto with his platform he could easily cover the majority of the expenses with sponsors and working with mates.
@@pullingguard1527 not practical when you do that much driving, Reliability matters.
Why would he copy what Sam had last year?
There would be nothing new, nothing to show, and nothing to prove, just somewhere to sink $20k.
The rig gets the job done which is all that matters
Who’s Ally… 😉
i think you should get a ssanyong and put 35s on it....... "You wont do it"
You guys coming to SA
Where’s NORMINGTON..
Good stuff guys. But put your bloody seatbelt on lol
What size fuel tanks have you.cheers
300L total in the 79 👌brown Davis for the win
@@theexplorelife cheers. I have the same. Bloody good episode 👍🍻
Can't believe you lot don't wear Seat belts.....
Why do you keep calling Ally a dog? What did she do wrong?
get a ssssyyyongg haha
Get a ssangyong you will be surprised
There is no 'r' in 'off'
first
Sam
nah next car a triton
Don't insult the great peoples car of China, that's a Great Wall Ute.
No Matt has to go Chinese, korean is too good for him
