- Опубліковано 25 тра 2022
- On Sunday 22rd May 202 after nearly two weeks of rain, a group of GWM Cannon Utes ( P-series / Pao ) set out to conquer Whangmōmona road.
What started as a 4 hours "bring your lunch" drive, turned into an 18 hour rescue mission.
It was a bit stressful on the night, but the day after everyone was fizzing with excitement, having achieved something they never expected.
Thanks to the crew at Keppler ( keppler.co.nz ) for oganising this, and for the laughs that I'll remember for ages !
Wow you guy’s love the Canons over there, they look like a great machine and a more than capable 4wd. Seeing lots about here in Australia now.
Great headlights
Also great to see the cannon crue come together as you have. Those cannons really tore thier way through that slushy mud. Great effort Paul
thanks man :)
Great video Keplers are great to deal with have bought 3 cannons awesome Utes
10 points for effort dude! That place is my local playground and is not to be taken lightly this time of year. You will want as much lift as you can safely get and some real good aggressive mt tyres that are as large as you can fit as well as a winch minimum to hit that track this time if year. Its even a bit of a mission on a dirt bike in winter. Its a cool part of the world.
Bloody great video Paul I love seeing all the cannon's they really look the part. 👍
Awesome adventure Paul great video.
Loved the video. Keep it up 👌👌
Excellent. Great show Paul. We took our CannonX out for a run in some mud on the weekend. Performed really well.
Enjoyed very much good video was wonderful to see uncle bill
Cheers for the shout out on the terrible pronunciation I had 😅 Definitely changed since the years ago I was kicking through there. Looks to be a wicked trail in there now. Rough spending such a long time on track though! We were lucky to have ours kitted out to camp anywhere and just stay on track. Wicked time though, glad ya picking up some mods!
Top effort team!!!
gidday Paul, thanks for the invite :p
What an awesome video. I'm fresh on the scene when it comes to gwm cannon. Recently went through a lot of dramas trying to purchase a mahindra pik up. I pulled the pin on that purchase got a full refund. And hopefully next week putting a deposit on a red cannon L. Took one for a test drive today.
I'm across the Ditch from you in Aussie land. Enjoy every aspect of your vids. Top job.
Cool man .. you're gonna have a great toy
Great stuff
thank you for the nice video. i am thinking of getting a Canon and fit it with a camper. my plan is to take it to Tibet. i have seen video of people using it at above 5000 meters, visiting glaciers
What an amazing journey you have taken us on in that beautiful countey. May be time for that lift kit and rated anchor points
Lift kit in already :)
Plus some rugged rock sliders this week
@@loudas which brand lift kit did you go with? Foam shocks?
@@loudas I reckon a 33 inch rubber height will just finish her off nicely now that you have a lift kit.
You will be ready to join the 4wd 24/7 team soon as the cannon ambassador

Nice!
veri gut...
What idiots doing that track with town tires when it is wet as there are big drop offs and big muddy holes.
Wrong tyres and bad equipment and not the best drivers.....stop and go through an obstacle is a primary no- no.
Looks great wicked great video mate.
I hope you mean Bow Shackles not D shackles
Yeah I do mean that 🤣
Great video on what not to do, i hope you get to enjoy more tracks around our beautiful country. PLEASE get some better tyres before you go out at this time of year! I think most experienced 4wd ers would say you were very lucky.
You obviously didn't read what I wrote, or probably even watch the vid to the end (where I discuss mods i have bought THIS week)
Like I said l, we were invited out on a "bring your lunch for a 4 hour drive through the bush"
Obviously, things changed when we arrived the night before and talked to the locals.
But thanks for your comments 👍
@@loudas Hi Paul, im not sure who advised you. our group of 5 trucks were advised we would not make it through in december because of the slip at tunnel. we spent a few hours digging to get over it. looks like more work has been done since then. our vechiles were set up with M?Ts 2 inch lifts and winches. we are a similar age to your group 55 through to 65. we had to drag a young guy through in vechile similar to yours in setup (blown cv ). he too was off to get a lift kit and better tyres. trips are way more fun if you are confident in your truck staying on the road. look forward to seeing future vids. regards Rob
@@robcalis6014 I don't really want to throw the advisor under the bus 🤣
But let's say this trip was organised for a TV spot .. so y'know, work it out yourself.
Those who sponsored the trip were disappointed in the complete lack of preparedness.
Some guys turned up wearing street shoes (vans), because they weren't advised. There was a complete lack of care and duty before setting out.
As you say ... LUCKY
And yeah .. booked in for a lift next, and shopping for treps right now 🤣
@@loudas Good on you , it will be worth it for the enjoyment factor and safety. we have all the maps out on the table at the moment planing christmass trip.
Yes well lucky indeed, was going to comment lasy night that at least being there in the pitch dark you wouldn't of seen just how high above the river the track gets in places.... I've just driven through the track again today an chuckled at the street tyre tread patterns still visible... 🙂
Great vid Paul , lots of “fun” on that track.
Would have loved to see a different car brand , Toyota or Isuzu or whatever , joining in so could make a good comparison in performance !
Cannon seemed to be doing great job though!
Yeah , first thing that jumped to mind watching this vid , your cars need a lift kit.
Thanks man. ;-))
What a great video, Paul. What varieties of pressures did you run in the tyres?
I was running 25
It seems like cannon have survived. Hahah. Would it be competitive to other established brands based on your experience.
I can confidently say you could only get through this track unassisted in a unimog 🤣🤣🤣🤣
To tackle what you did in this video you definetly need a 2" lift. Good effort. But I would not attempt any of that with stock tyres, as some of the people in the group did. No wonder you guys ended up with some damage. So, did you select 4L , Cross Country Expert mode or just left it in Standard as is?
In and out of 4wd L and expert mode all night 🤣
Can't wait for my lift ... super excited
why someone would destroy a new vehicle like that? I can t really see the point or the fun in it ..
,👏👏👏👏🇨🇱
we groom these ute after off ride 6 ute
Entry to that tunnel gives me the shits looking to the left
Hahahaha gave me the shits.when the blue Cannon was slipping off the track
First!
Stop being a big baby !
