@@johncoops6897 Gas is petrol in America. But yeah the audio doesn’t match the video…😀

​@@Challenger4WD - Well, Goulburn and Sydney are in Australia, not America. Gas in AU is LPG. Since your video and title only mentions Diesel, the gasoline prices are completely irrelevant anyway. Furthermore, the AU fuel prices aren't affected by Putin or Ukraine 😃

Thank you 🙏 😀👍🏻

@@doncoyote2 thanks, yes it’s a dirt road. Only the Root Hog crossing is rocky but you don’t need to cross there. Some of the campsites have sandy areas near the river which might require 4WD. If it’s busy and you meet someone, one of you may have to back up but that’s it. There’s places to pass but some sections of the track are narrow. You won’t have any problems. 😀👍🏻

@@Challenger4WD Thanks

There might be but I haven’t noticed them and I’ve been there about half a dozen times. Doesn’t really make it clear on their website either. I know big holiday weekends they do have portaloos. 😀👍🏻👍🏻

@@Challenger4WD $50 to drive on sand and 💩 in a portaloo? Pass! 😂

@@donr62 Stockton is a bit of a hike but a much better option! 😀🤙🏼

Yeah it’d be good but at least you have the new bike to explore with? 👍🏻😀

@@Challenger4WD yes I do and I'm loving it. My channel and views have taken off since getting the bike

@@warrengregory8452 I found it on the way back from Nattai National Park. It’s off Seabrook Rd Hilltop NSW. 👍🏻😀

@@1SweetPete No Sydney! Southern Highlands actually. The winter here has been cold this year and plenty of rain too. Miserable sums it up! 😀🤙🏼

@@felixcolvin4423 thx Felix, I bought the Challenger at auction in Canberra and it was already modified. The previous owner had a horse float and he didn’t want all those fumes getting to the horses so he got it custom fitted. I also tow my camper trailer so it’s been useful to me too. 😀👍🏻

Thanks for that comment. 👍🏻 Re: The Cross which was weird to see, the first 2 bodies were found by a couple of runners off Longacre FT. Then later 2 more fairly close by so it’s a big part of the backpacker story. Who would put a cross like that? Yeah it could be a sick fan I guess. There’s evidence of 2 people’s involvement in some of the murders and only Milat went to jail so there could be an accomplice still out there? Belanglo is still closed apart from the campsite so check on the State Forests website about closures before you go eh? 👍🏻😀

⁠@@Challenger4WD​​⁠I reckon he had an accomplice/s. There was talk that he was incestuous with his sister, so it makes sense that he would’ve used her to put female backpackers at ease and willing to get in the car with him. Bloody unsettling knowing that his Nephew carried on his disgusting legacy in the same area years later. Did you let your tyres down? I know that you would every other time, but I’m wondering if you did it here? That 10 minutes outside pumping the tyres up in the dark would be too much for me in that area haha! Definitely agree with you on the Please Be Careful sign. We’ve been to a hell of a lot of State Forests, Conservation Areas, and National Parks over the years, and never have I seen a sign like that anywhere else. Makes for a good photo, though. I showed my Wife your video and she said “no chance are we going at night” 😂

She’s the sensible one eh? 😀 We did let the tyres down but the main road out is dirt so we kept going and pumped them up at the rest stop on the Hume Hwy which is well lit! There were 2 caravans camping overnight btw. We saw them as we came into the Forest. They maybe didn’t know that Milat has passed earlier that morning! My wife said she’d never camp there, probably a good decision…😀👍🏻

@@Challenger4WDsmart move on waiting until the Hume to get out the air compressor mate! Keep the videos coming.

True yeah Belanglo would be ideal but Wolf Creek was also based on Bradley Murdoch and he abducted the couple in the outback so they’ve gone with that location. 🤙🏼😀

What are the chances they will make on movie based on Ivan malit and his life story

Do you believe the forest is haunted do you believe it's cursed and do you believe the ghosts of the backpackers Ivan killed are haunting the forest did you ever have any experiences with that with their ghosts did you hear anything or see anything unusual out in the forest at night

Just picture this camping in the forest at night and you can hear the ghostly screams of the backpackers being chased by Ivan Milat and just picture this you're in your tent and you hear a noise and it's Ivan pointing a gun at you from the tents door you close the tent and he's ghost is gone

@@scottwalker5379 maybe they will. There’s been documentary type shows but not a proper movie like Wolf Creek.

I heard he was there for a while. That’s a real old school prison isn’t it? 😀🤙🏼

@@Challenger4WD Yes it was. Smack bang in the middle of suburbia

Well spotted! 😀 It was all a bit of an experiment. We didn’t know if we’d be able to film at night but the Sony Camera did a great job. The autofocus was accurate even through the windscreen at night. One of the lights has a spread beam and the other was the spot and we thought it’d show more of the bush if it was pointed up slightly. 😀🤙🏼

Too easy mate, ta

Yeah I had a copyright issue and had to re edit the video with different music. It’s closed and I’m looking forward to visiting when they finally open it! 😀🤙🏼

@@Challenger4WD they will probably never re open it….

I hope that’s not the case! 😀👍🏻

Thx for the comment, it does bounce a bit but not too bad. The shocks are Bilsteins which are very good. But, when I update the vehicle I’d go with adjustable shocks for different terrain. 😀👍🏻

Thank you! ❤️🤙🏼

The older Landcruisers were built to survive the harshest conditions! I was taken aback at the size of the housing. The filter itself probably costs a bit. 😀👍🏻

😀

Thx mate! Aren’t you that mate of Tylzz Jim? 😀👍🏻

@@Challenger4WD it was the 1st time I've met him

@@FlatBrokeAdventures it was a good photo too, you both looked good.

Thanks. Photo was taken by Shad Donahue as he was working on Tyler's stand

Thankyou, it’s all closed off at the moment but they’ll reopen when the stabilise the road. The river is shallow there at Newnes so probably only carp but it joins the Colo eventually. It’s busy in summer but winter there’s plenty of quiet spots to enjoy. 😀👍🏻

Thx Jarrad, there’s still a lot of places I haven’t been though! 😀👍🏻

@@Challenger4WD you’ve got that right, mate. There’s always somewhere to go and something to see.

Thx Jim, yeah Stockton last week I’d never been to before so I ticked that off my list. Six Foot Track is another I haven’t done. And Abercrombie NP, I went years ago but I need to get back there as well..😀🤙🏼

@@Challenger4WD I have the 6 foot track on my to do list. I've never been to Lithgow or Bathurst, so that area is high on my list as is the Vic High Country and the Old Tele Track. I could be going to Moreton Island next year. But I still need to get the 4wd working so I can get back out there.

Thanks for that, I think Belanglo is mostly closed and Penrose too so atm Wingello may be the only one still open.😀🤙🏼

The Tank looks good but reliability and availability of parts and as you said, accessories, will be a big factor in how many are sold. I’ve seen a few out on the tracks already but yeah time will tell. 😀👍🏻

Yeah I hope so but all the guys have young families now so I get it. Those dunes at Stockton are excellent though. I’ll def go back there at some point.😀🤙🏼

Thanks digger old mate, good advice! 😀🤙🏼

My wife said the same thing? 😀 I didn’t think of doing it haha, not to worry. Yes it’s a good idea, maybe next time I’ll remember. 🤙🏼😀

Thanks Mason, it was great to meet you guys, and we were glad to help. 😀🤙🏼

I didn’t think about that? I love dogs too! I think there’s a caretaker so hopefully it was ok. 😀👍🏻

Thx Carmello 👍🏻😀

The couple who own it told me it was a 105? 😀🤙🏼

Thanks, yeah CapCut is a good editing tool too. Makes it easier to do nice clips. 😀🤙🏼

Thanks mate, yeah I watched the trailer for your Blue Mountains series! Looks insane? I see you took the truck and trailer up Baal Bone? Haha so good can’t wait to watch it. 😀🤙🏼

@@Challenger4WD sight to see for sure. Was a ripper experience

Thanks Jim! 😀🤙🏼

Thanks mate, just Google maps. I download the relevant map in case there’s no mobile coverage and it’s normally pretty good. 👍🏻😀

I don’t know if you’re local? But has he been up Baal Bone? Or Lost City West also has steep rocky bits. My Challenger will do both of those? 😀👍🏻

Thanks mate , appreciate it! 😀👍🏻

Thanks for subbing and the nice comments, 🤙🏼😀

No worries I enjoyed exploring too! 😀🤙🏼

Haha yes it was the bash plate. A mangled mess! I fitted an OCAM one in the next video I think. Thx for the comment! 😀👍🏻

It does doesn’t it? I’m going to get a new vehicle at some point and I’ll miss the Challenger! 😀🤙🏼

I think the EV’s are much worse for the environment? Maybe hydrogen will be the way forward, time will tell? 😀🤙🏼

@@Challenger4WD Who talked about EVs?

I did? You’re against diesel vehicles so I assumed you were an EV fan. If not, are you a bushwalker or cyclist who wants no vehicles in nature?

Thanks Tim, I enjoyed that track too! 😀🤙🏼

Thanks mate I enjoyed the track too! 🤙🏼😬
