- The Shake Down Tour continues as Heather and Garry travel in their SLRV
4 x 4 Commander through the New England Region of New South Wales. They encounter amazing views, more than 20 river crossings, slippery and steep bush tracks and rural properties
Beautiful camara work, you let us travel with you. Heather is a good-natured scout, you guys are indeed a great team.
Thanks once again Mike for your encouragement. I was a Boy scout and Heather a Girl Guide. One thing we learnt was BE PREPARED😂
Congratulations to both for having the courage to buy the truck and discovering Australia.
Thanks for the encouragement, Roger!
Great drive thru a beautiful part of the country thanks for sharing
Nice meeting the both of you today, and what an incredible truck , safe trips guys .
Thanks Ian. We’re having an amazing time with more adventures to come!
Heather can be a killjoy at times. Just enjoy the experiences. Great life to be living. You have both obviously worked hard to put yourselves in this position so make the most of it folks
Not normally a killjoy but before the start of the trip she came down with a sever dose of shingles. OUCH! She'a a real trooper. Definitely making the most of the opportunity to have some amazing experiences!!!
Super
looks like a fun new chapter in your lives :D
Sure is! We're having a ball
Can’t wait to see you let some air out of the tyres. I’m sure the boss knows what he’s doing.
When mum starts telling you how to drive and what to do when driving just stop and put her in the drivers seat !! She seems to know more. 😊
Thanks Chris for the encouragement!
Good idea about the map
Quite interesting, you'll slide into how it drives on various surfaces with more experience.
May I suggest the drivetrain will really be less stressed if you pop it into 4WD whenever you are on a loose surface. As you are running with super singles on the steer and drive axles; the larger single wheel is doing the work of two on the drive axle. The hint was the drive axle wheel spin which can be remedied with even lower tyre pressure, or adding the steer axle drivetrain. You will also like the surefootedness that engaging the steer axle drive gives you.
Thanks for the feedback Allan👍
Ditto
Great country the way your heading is towards ellerstone then moonan pub. Worked at glenrock fencing there’s some serious 4wd ,motorbike riding and great hunting spots but only open for workers apart from main road thru to nundle via all the creek crossings
Yes, agree 100% Amazing country!! We stopped at the Moonan Pub for a late lunch. It was like an oasis.
Hahaha. Yep Miklos I need to toughen up. Have to come to terms with the difference between a car 4x4 and a truck 4x4!
Love it !!!!!
Thanks Chris!
Listen to Heather, mate. four wheel drive whenever you are off the tar. DROP THE TYRE PRESSURES, Heather said! Heather, make sure he is in full 4X4 with difflocks on whenever he does river crossings, ok? Doesn't matter if it's only a few mill deep. Better safe than sorry. Remind him to bring the bloody chainsaw too! Love your work!
Thanks for the advice hahaha. Chainsaw is packed!! Glad you're enjoying the videos. Checkout our latest video about a road train we helped out when the driver drove off a flooded causeway in Far North Queensland.
Oh Garry, as a new retiree, I would not have ordered that truck just for sanity my friend, although a superb vehicle to tour in… my wife would be the same 😂
Heather is about to have kittens, and is very unsure if it’s capabilities I feel. Hoping she has upgraded her license to LR (I think) and then can take turns!
Good luck and hope to catch you guys in the road sometime once our new AOR van is ready!
You hit the nail on the head with your comments Tony! Hoping to get some driving in soon. Watch this space🤣
Hi 👋🏼
From the land down-under 🇬🇧 😊
Love the wife 😂😂
I need a good wife 😵💫
Very capable wife 👍
Great dry sense of humour 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed the video😂 she’s a keeper👍
I reckon i saw this vehicle in the Showgrounds in Sale Vic. on the 20th of May. Would i be correct?
Nope, wasn't us 🙃
Hi when offroading make sure your thumbs are out of the steering wheel if it spins will break thumbs ouch 👍
Good point!
❤❤👍👍👍👍👍
Gr8 keep up the posts...would be interesting to show a map of your route...cheers chris from jeeralang junction
Good suggestion, thanks Chris!
Gary!
Give Heather some time behind the wheel
Definitely on the cards! Stay tuned for the fun and games😀
First of all congratulations on your new mobile home. I know and well aware that you guys are only just starting your adventure and yes there's going to be times where it's going to test you both. Heather my dear you're going to have to learn that you are now in a truck and you're going to have to get used to it whether you like.it.or.not and any Creek crossings the truck can go to which is up to your chest and you don't have to panic which means you're going to have to trust the truck and move out of your comfort zone and enjoy the reward satisfaction and pleasure of enjoy your trip🎉🎉❤
We’re also bikers! 😊👍 Yes, you’re right! I need to toughen up. Thanks for your support and keep watching the channel. I’ll have a cup of concrete!! Cheers
@@teamd-tour the title that I use on here is actually a registered organisation for charity work and helping those who need help from homeless to seniors and everything in between. And it's not about toughening up but it is all about freedom and enjoying yourself putting your faith in both driver and truck and the truck will outdo your nerves that's right you will collapse first before the car but we all go through it that's why I'm giving you a guidance I can also see that you are a wonderful person so keep up the good work
Give your head a shake big rig and don't take 5 min to run a strap or winch line peel obstacle out of way then struggle just laziness
Hi guys just wondering why don't you put Go Pro in between the pair of you looking foward out the windscreen showing every body were you going we really dont need to look at you two in the cab all the time.
Good point! This was an early video and we didn't have a Go Pro. We are working on improving our skills 🤓
@@teamd-tour keep on keeping on you will atcheav you goals one day so never stop.
Sharing everyone of Jesus Christ, He is coming back. We are spiritually saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ our Lord God and Savior .
You must have been a manager with a uni degree in your last life.
Hahhhahah. How did you know!
Be nice to see footage out front. There’s nothing to see.
Yes, good comment thanks Errol. Still learning. We addressed that in later videos 👍😀
@@teamd-tour I hope that didn’t sound like criticism off me. Just disappointed not to see what sort of crazy spot you had to get yourself out of. I might add in that downhill slide nerves of steel “ohh here we go “. There is a comment about Andy green the mad Pom who holds the land speed record. They say he had a special seat with a hole in the base for his balls.
I thought of that while watching u
@@errolturner3496 All good Errol didn't take it as a criticism. At the front there was nothing to see. The truck slid sideways off into a run off drain. There was a loss of traction. Garry has nerves of steel, very cool and calm!!!
Stop complaining woman, give Gerry you support! 😊
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Don’t worry Heather, I would have put it in 4wd long before.
