STEEP POINT - Tackling the 4x4 Track With Our MDC Campertrailer

- čas přidán 23. 02. 2024
- We are off to camp at Steep Point, the most westerly point on mainland Australia, which can only be accessed by boat or via a 140km 4x4 track!
We weren't sure if we would make after finding a problem with activating 4wd on the Landcruiser.
So what else can you do but put your foot down and hope for the best!
Thank you for your support, catch ya out there!

Another great episode, love your work 👌
Thanks Darryl 🍻
What a stunning looking place. Great to see you guys out and enjoy the camper again. I feel the same when I set up the van. I say "this will do me" 😂 Doesn't get much better👍
It really doesn't get much better!! We love being in the camper as well.
Oh mate this place is just beautiful, we really didn't want to leave! 😁
not to many places in the world with options like this, did this trek in the 80's , good buzz
Gosh I can just imagine what the track would have been like in the 80's! It is a fun track to drive and such a great spot. Thanks for watching mate 🍻
Brilliant once again. Can't wait to get out there.
Thanks David!! Enjoy when you go, it is such a beautiful spot. We were all very sad when it was time to leave there. Thanks for watching mate 🍻
Great vid guys. We love steep point and DHI. Amazing beach fishing. That was a very nice flathead you landed. Congrats.
Thanks mate! Such a beautiful part of WA is it! The flathead was so tasty, just wish we caught more 😉
Bit late catching up with you again great to see you all and wow the beard impressive 👏 another great outting u doing what great camp site 👍 by the ocean and a great ride up the track xx
Hehehe the beard is getting pretty bushy isn't it! It was such a fantastic spot, we were all very sad to leave. Thank you for watching and all your support Myra, it is always appreciated!
Have had to exercise extreme patience waiting for this one! Watching your trip out to Steep Point has increased my confidence for when we're headed up there later this year.
In the (so called) good old days, we didn't have diff locks when headed into spots like this - but then we weren't towing a camper. All the same, you know what you're doing, your gear choice and tyre pressure was spot on, so not surprised you made it look easy. You fish like I do :)
Looks great and I can't wait to get out there. Thanks.
PS - I bought a valve adaptor that fits on the SUP and uses your 12v compressor. Makes inflating the darn things easy.
Sorry to make you wait mate!!! You are going to absolutely love it out there! Such a beautiful spot! You are so right cars are so much better than they used to be, they can deal with a lot more. We were just so worries about not being able to get out to paradise, it was the BEST holiday! Thanks for tge tip going to check that out now. Thanks mate!!
Great spot & great vid!🙌🏾
Thanks mate! Such a spectacular spot. Hope the travels are going well!
TOES Grow Back.. great Video Guys
😂 they grow back dont they?? 😬 thank you!!
You’ve seriously got to stop with showing us this gorgeous country especially Steep Point / Shark Bay area.
For many of years Cam and I called this our own as we wouldn’t see a single person for weeks on end until unfortunately people wrecked it all for us and now those two stations have come to a end which breaks our hearts into pieces 💔
This place simply makes our hearts skip a beat and after watching another of your AMAZING 🤩 videos that you produce we can’t wait to get back there and enjoy to continue catching the pinkies like we used to by the bucket full (not rubbing it in at all Craig 🤭)
This time we are looking at finally putting the new rig (we’ve christened now) on the barge to Dirk Hartog Island, something we have had on our bucket lists for so long.
Your footage made us really appreciate how special this piece is 😍
Thankyou once again for bringing us along on your trip 😊
Thanks guys it really is such a slice of paradise isn't it! Wish we had your luck of buckets full of fish 🤣 but oh well at least we had an amazing time with the odd fish thrown in 😁 enjoy DHI when you go no doubt it will be a awesome experience!
Beard is looking amazing, glad to see it back!
🤣🤣 thanks mate!
Glad I found your channel, I’m also looking at purchasing an MDC camper here in Utah.
Hey mate! Welcome to the channel! Good luck with your decision making, personally we love our MDC. It has gotten us so many beautiful places. Happy and safe travels. Thanks for watching! 🍻
Great to have you guys back ❤️ beautiful location what an amazing spot the sea life looks great so much to see.
loved the drone shots camera work on point great camp spot great weather a bit of successful fishing and….I dunno some chicken thing for dinner 😂 what more can ya ask for….great video loved it ❤️
Welcome back guys 🙌🏻🦘🇦🇺🪃
🤣🤣 the chicken dinner was actually quite tasty just didnt look it 😜 Thanks mate it was such a beautiful place we honestly had such a great time there, so relaxing! Was such a crackin spot!
@@RoaminintheRobbo glad you enjoyed it…it looked a beautiful spot! I said you would make it in the Toyota you had no reason to worry 👍🏻 I can’t put it on our list it’s a little to far off track for us 😂 so lucky to have such a beautiful country! Awesome mate take it easy guys 🙌🏻🤗
@Neil-clare maybe extend to holiday? 😂 we really are spoilt for choices of beautiful places in Australia. Yep ended up being worried for nothing, the good old cruiser pulled through for us 😁
@@RoaminintheRobbo 😂😂😂😂 we wish we could but work and cost gets in the way unfortunately…..if we did extend it we,d be going to tunnel creek….that would be your fault for going there and showing us what a awesome place that was 😂 ….still planning so things may change…..I must say dealing with the hire company is a task in itself most of the time non responsive with reply’s so may have to start ringing them…which is another expense 😂 it grows on trees round here (money) 😂 and yes you are spoilt for choices so many I can’t keep up!
@Neil-clare yeah darn work and the cost of travelling certainly can restrict things! Would be nice if we didnt have to worry about those things 😂 What a shame it has been such a struggle dealing with the hire company 😕 hope you get it all sorted out soon 🤞
Great episode, Steep Point looks amazing! Looking forward to next the episode 😊
Thank you! It was such a spectacular spot, we absolutely loved it!
Another fun adventure! Looks like a beautiful place 👍🏻
The place was amazing! So beautiful 😁 thanks for watching mate!
Just beautiful, thanks for sharing.
Your welcome mate, highly recommend heading out there with your camper. Such a beautiful spot!
I got my CDL going by pushing the button and driving forward and backward left and right on the steering wheel zig zagging. Went clunk and has worked ever since. There is the top and lower actuator the top is the CDL you can try while in park with the ignition on and the CDL pushed giving it a tap as they get stuck on the contact plate in there.
Awesome I will definitely give this a try, thanks for the advice! Fingers crossed it works for us as well 🤞
Great vid as usual ! We did a day trip out there to check it all out. We didn’t take the camper out there as there was no way we could carry enough momentum to get up that long soft climb due to all the wombat holes others had left. That spot is exactly where we went 😂 I had a good spearfishing session around that little island off the point next to you.
Does the centre diff lock stop flashing if you turn the car off and back on again once the transmission is up to temp ? That’s how I clear ours, I also try to use it at least every few weeks to move the contacts. The contacts in the unit itself need a wipe and clean. There is a few vids on how to do it out there and I’ll give it a go one day 😂😂. Safe travels guys !!
Thanks mate! Yeah those wombat holes can be a bit of a killer hey! Hope you enjoyed your day out there, it is so beautiful isn't it. Haven tried that, will give it a good we also have it booked in with Toyota to have a look at next week so hopefully it is back up and running soon 🤞🏼 Thanks for watching, safe travels to you too mate!!
Supposed to be a great fishing spot but even with a boat we struck out. Beautiful area though.
Yep supposed to be, we didn't have alot of luck either 🤣 such a beautiful area 😍
G/day troops, I’m watching this vid and saw the prob with your centre diff lock, not sure if you know but when you disengage your traction control hold it down for another 3 seconds it will lock in all four wheels
Love your shows
Thanks mate! Will give that a try thank you!!
Watch the icon pop up in dash bourd
Hi mate love you work, I live in Queensland and was thinking about doing the savannah way, gibb river and down to my old home Perth. I need some advice on size of max tracks , I see 1100s and 900s . I have a new twin cab .
Hey Phil, thanks mate! That would be an awesome trip, such beautiful landscape through there. If you have the space I would recommend the larger ones, but you do need to take into account they weigh more so that maybe a factor depending on your weight limits. Thanks for watching, safe travels!
Another great episode guys. Man can’t wait to hit the west coast up. Can I ask when you had the drone follow you up was that manual control or did you use tracking?
Thanks guys!! Be sure to hit us up when you get to the West. Such a beautiful state to explore. It was on tracking but unfortunately I think it lost us when we went past some trees and I was to busy trying to get us up the hill, I just gave up on it 😂
@@RoaminintheRobbo nice. Yeah as you hit those wombat holes you would’ve had your hands full 😂
@@RoaminintheRobbo oh and definitely keen to catch up. I’ll show you a bad fisherman 😂😂
@filthyjeepadventures absolutely!! Just trying to get us through 😁
@@filthyoffroadadventures challenge accepted 🤣🤣
Third
Your amazing 🤣🤣
Good one we are heading there in April. Can I ask what sand pegs did you use?
Hope you have the best time!! We just used some sand pegs from BCF and they worked great. They were about $7 ea so good value.
@@RoaminintheRobboThanks
The big hill is called tin hill
16-18psi is usually ample to get up tin hill
Use 4l and you’ll be right
Thanks mate! Didn't know it had a name 😊 we were concerned given we had the weight of the trailer and the stories we had heard. But thankfully no issues 😁 thanks for watching!
@@RoaminintheRobbo some years the track going in is a super smooth. U da travel at 100 kms per hr. Other times. It’s rooted and u go slow
Tin hill is easy. Low tyre pressures
I’ve abused blokes for fcking up the 1st bend up the top on the track
They were running on 25psi and stuck for 3 hrs. Muppets
Friend and I got them out in 10 minutes. Clowns
@@tontobb8956 that's the thing if people don't lower their pressures it just messes up the track for everyone else!
