    Here's my tip. When using Max Tracks I attach them to the back of my vehicle with para cord, so as I drive out of the mud, I pull my tracks out behind me. That way I don't have to stop until I'm well clear of the obstacle. And I don't have to dig around trying to find them.

I miss my old mates from the Army but seeing you lot muck around bring back tonnes of memories of mischief and skulduggery from the buggers in the Army that I have worked with over the years. Thanks for the laughs Grahame, and thanks for the cooking tips Shauno, you are a real fitter and turner mate. I look forward to your future endeavors and laughs.

    Graham, I grew up on a cattle station just outside of Carnarvon, Brick House Station. The original race used to run through our property and we were heavily involved with the race, my mother in race command, our aircraft as the mobile repeater station, my father chief comms. officer along with Garry Larsen and I was in the timing office as a 9-12yro! I'm not sure how long you've been going, but I'm guessing you fell along with the bar in a show of increased confidence and exuberance one night after racing was complete? Maybe not rated to a mass quite as much as you were expecting haha. Many shenanigans have been had and will continue to be had. Hahaha, love everyone's work at 4WD 24/7.

    Great show guys … this was exactly what I mentioned in one of my previous comments … Well done. A cool diy mod I saw on CZcams was 100mm pvc pipe used inside the canopy in a H style pattern. The guy put a tap at one end and a pressure valve at the other. He pumped 30psi of air into the pipe and had pressurised water on tap. Great idea.

    A good clothes line idea is a magnet. Perfect for a pair of board shorts once they’re rung out, just hang them inside and they’ll dry quicker than in a tub, and won’t get forgotten.

    That was a good episode showing off the diy mods we do to our fourbys.
    I've built a drawer system in the back of my fronty that combines diy with store bought. One side is a bcf drawer with fridge slide and slide out bench and the other is my own design drawer slide made from formply. I also have a party that holds my second fridge that I take out my rear seat and it fits kn neatly there.

    Some unreal ideas for my hzj105 that I’m building at the moment, as I’ve spent heaps on rebuilding the engine, gearbox, diffs and suspension. I’ll have to do the camping set up on the cheap and these ideas will help me achieve that instead of relying on my mates set up every time we go 4wdriving. Absolutely rate the clothes line definitely the best idea that no one thinks about.

    Lol I spent the whole Summer during the lock down in the man cave modifying my Zuki sidekick. Lifted it, new suspension, 30 inch tires and rims, snorkel ECT. Then I went camping and fishing in the bush.i could not have been more isolated being in the bush with my family. The pandemic had little effect on my sanity, being in the bush does the mind and soul good!

    • @surayagriffey1568
      @surayagriffey1568 Před 2 lety +2

      The Bush is good for the mind and soul, both for you and your family when you are together. Children today mostly never get to know the bush as a positive thing, only something foreign to them, something scary or uncommon to them. People who watch this channel know for a Fact that the bush and being away from the 24-7 hectic city life is beneficial to health, both physically and mentally.
      Taking your kid's bush is probably one of the best things you can do for them at this point in time given the current dogma. Oh and Suzuki's can go anywhere with a competent operator even as stock standerd, a friend and I once got a Suzuki Sierra soft top up to 100 Km an hr up in the NT. And I have seen them climb some incredible inclines. Going Bush with your kids is one of the best things you can ever do for them.
