@@lance752 So far it seems to only be as often as you fill it up. I pressurised it a few weeks ago and then used the tap and it came out as it should.

Hey mate, it was gifted to me from Vicoffroads. With that being said it’s still on the car today as it’s proved very handy

Hey mate, so far it hasn’t deflated over night. Seems to be pretty solid!

Hey mate, on my car the rear of the awning is in line with the bottom of the tub rack spoiler thing and the front overhangs the top of the windscreen by 30cms. For reference, I can’t see it from the driver seat unless I lean forward. Hope that helps.

@@rangertouring thanks, was more concerned about how it performs when open. Does it sag at the fronts or adversely affected by wind?

@@rangertouring oh is the the 180 Or the versatile 180

@@Wonderinggreek it’s pretty good in the rain, had mine for about 5 years and it’s still remaining strong and the canvas is in great quality. Under rain and wind you need to tie it down but overall it’s very robust!

@@rangertouring thanks so much for the feedback back, ordered one today and was a bit iffy. Much enjoy your vids and if ever in Melbourne and want company around a camp fire sing out ! Take care!

This is probably as good as it gets for easy tracks! Kenilworth and Bellthorpe also have a range of tracks, some of those are easy too!

Hey mate, it’s a pretty good mattress as far as air mattresses go. There is not other cushioning other then air so it will feel pretty normal. It’s got a lot of depth once inflated which does allow you to sink in a bit. Overall pretty good

Hey mate, was running 16 PSI at the time. The slope was a bit off camber and I slowed down and it started going sideways. Normally it’s pretty straight forward with the maxtrax, but the slope made it really difficult to go forward.

@@rangertouring yeah off camber + soft sand does that aye, cameras never do it justice, keep it up looking forward to more vids 🤘

Yeah mate, unplug the valve and it all deflated very quickly!

I think I want to get rid of the sail plane in the future. It will be all low for a much bigger RTT. Big fan of the 23 Zeros

Should have no issue, they are pretty small. My mate has one on his Prado now and fits well

Hey Mate, if you deflate it and fold it up it would fit no worries if you also took the current mattress out. With the mattress still in, it would likely fit but be a bit of a squeeze. The swag is hands down more comfortable, but overall I am a fan of the roof top tent. Tub rack wise its from a guy on the Sunshine Coast who makes his own. If you look up NFA fab you will find his page - it comes with a brace kit and he installed on the day. I am overall very happy with the product.

@@rangertouring got a link ? my searches have not been able to find NFA Fab :-(

@@chrisduckworth2022 hey mate, look up NFA 4x4 on Instagram. Pretty sure he doesn’t have a website

It has nothing to do with engine displacement bud

Hey mate, there are heaps of gates and fences popping up all over there tracks! You really have to search to find anything good there now :(

All cars in the video have a 2 inch lift

Happy to help! Very enjoyable track! It definitely is one of the less travelled places!

Bugger! Didn’t know you could get down there, would have been awesome to swim!

Hey mate, I’ve got an external oil cooler fitted and am getting a thermal bypass fitted shortly. I have a scan guage and more or less drive to the temperature. If I’m in soft sand or driving steep hills, I will always run the car in low range as it doesn’t get as hot. At Stockton Beach I had it in high range and it got very hot, very quickly. I will use it in sports mode to control what gear I’m in, by doing that I can usually keep the auto temp under 100 even in sand. It does start to climb up a little higher if I’m conducting a long decent in low range

@@rangertouring depending on the terrain, I swap back and forth between sports mode and drive in either 4H or 4L. Despite many peoples comments about the Ranger gearbox, it is actually pretty clever and does a fair job of managing it's temps if left to self manage. 100% agree to swap into sport mode for steep climbs/descents but as soon as it levels off a bit, I swap back to Drive and you will be amazed at how quickly the gearbox jumps up to a much higher gear, relieving some of the stress. I'd also advise that if you do a lot of deep mud driving, to make sure you get right down into the bottom of the radiator with a hose, especially if you have bash plates protecting the cooling zone of the engine bay. When my first intercooler failed due to the winch cabling being run up against it and eventually wearing through the fins, Ford found that all the radiators at the front had about the bottom 3rd of each one caked in mud which impacted cooling performance. Looks like you had some good tracks there and saw some cool spots !!

Hi mate, this spot is just short of Cedar Grove Camp on the right hand side of the road as your driving west. It’s about 1km short

Hi Mate, check out the Southern Downs Regional Council page, they post when it closes / opens

Family has owned a BT50 - E locker standard (yes) - snorkel (no) What’s wrong with the charger under the bonnet Air compressor sits there, so a battery wouldn’t fit No worries if you didn’t like it. Thank you for the view anyway! It take a horizontal pull, what do you think your snatch block is held in by! I would never use the tow ball, obviously that is silly. Once again, thank you for the feedback!

That's true but this is getting advertising for them. But would like to see them against some stedi lights

Hi Mate, thanks for the feedback. Always appreciate it when it’s constructive!

Hi mate, thanks for the feedback. I do actually have a Wanderer swag which wasn’t used for this video as it was similar in size to the Darche Dusk til Dawn swag (bit smaller though). That swag has been my go to for about 5 years and I’ve always found it reliable and comfortable. With that said, pending your style of camping, these days we have a roof top tent and I’m loving the space and practicality for on the move camping. However, you definitely take a hit with regards to mattress comfort and performance in poor weather

Hi mate, dropped down to 28 PSI. If I’m staying off-road for a while, I’ll pretty much always drop the tyres. With that said, you could get away with not doing it for this trip

Negative. Got them from Vicoffroad

@@rangertouring Thank you ! Great review they look awesome.

Unsure what you mean by that?

Fair, did own one though

Hey mate, thanks for the feedback and support! It’s lifted 2 inches, but after adding a bit of weight, it’s probably only 1 inch just above stock. It is fitted with slightly bigger tyres as well. I have a the off-road custom bash-plates which are still on the car today and working great! Generally speaking, you can get away in the high country with a pretty stock car, good tyres would be my main recommendation

Definitely a lot of roof racks these days exceeding the limit

Soon enough! I do miss it a lot!

Fair enough
