    That tribute to the ol’ gal almost brought a tear to the eye.
    I’m a fairly new follower but have been diving deep into the older episodes and sooty never fails to impress. Can’t pick one that stands out, as they all do.
    Much love for old soot, can’t wait to see the adventures of Mark II soon though!

    Shauno! This episode is by far the best memory of Soot.
    The old girl has made other vehicles look, at times, inept.
    The short part in this episode where you walk through why shes retired, and seeing her still defy the odds to keep on keeping on is a testiment to the vehicle and how well she was treated.. Despite the hiding you gave her.. I have a 76 seties, which ive slowly been self modifying, and young (very new) family which i cant wait to get them out on the tracks camping with. Hope Soot MKII brings as much joy to yourself and viewers as MKI did.

    There are far too many wild and wonderful memories of old Soot, but one of the funniest would have to be the hill climb (either the Vic high country or NSW) where the second of the two lockers were exposed to Graham. He was absolutely shooketh and could not explain how Sooty, in a somewhat smug fashion, trotted her way up the steep and shaley climb. Priceless! Absolutely love this car.

    This episode would be my favourite of Sooty. The fact that she just keeps going despite being worked as hard as she does, she's fairly reliable. In this episode she lived up to what she was built for even though she's near the end. Old Sooty will live on in the new build. I can only hope my 200 series gets to go on some of tracks that Sooty has done.

    Hard to pick just one favourite memory of sooty but it’s hard to look past soot’s performance on the $1000 track. Absolute beast through the mud, the recovery’s and full sends just really made for a great episode. Definitely showed what an 80 is truely made of. I myself have an 80series HZJ80 and if it sounded even half as good as sooty with that new exhaust I’d be over the moon.

  • @mattgalvin3386

    Cracking episode fellas! and what a way to send off soot. My 4 year old son and I always watch on and we love seeing the adventures the boys take on. We live here on the Coffs Coast and for us, our favourite episode would have to be around a year ago when you ventured out to pebbly beach camp ground and cooked up the chilli mud dogs! Plenty of carnage in that episode including a snapped axle for sooty and nearly ending up vertically on its side…… the action and carnage was at course all offset by the stunning surrounds and camping spots on the Coffs Coast which we are lucky to frequent. We have a 2018 200 Series and the exhaust is the last piece of the puzzle for us! Thanks so much for taking us on many adventures and we look forward to seeing Sooty MKII taking on more tracks! Cheers!

    Hard to pick a favourite ep, although loved seeing her tear up pine creek to then transition to the calm cruise down kinkuna, looks at home with both.
    A torqit exhaust would really make a difference to my twin locked Fj Cruiser, really missing that sweet note through the tough tracks and higher RPM drives. Plus, would most likely push me in the right direction for at least a tune.

    Love 80 on the rear (GME) most on this convoy of amazing rigs. The 200 series is one hell of a rig but maintenance and stuffs gonna super expensive. D-max on the other hand suits my conditions best especially with the Mitsalloy canopy but being only on 31s its too low. Atleast 33s would be ideal for my needs cause tracks I used to do need bigger tyres than 31s even full 32s aren't high enough. If jocko was on 33s he would have cleared most of the bog holes and winching won't be necessary. He hung up many times cause of his tiny wheels😞. Timbo on the other hand can do a spring swap from leafs to coils. The rear low spring hanger is the weak point on a deep ruts muddy or not for the 79 series.

    Favourite memory of Sooty was when Shauno first put in the front diff lock but didn't tell the boys about it and then proceeded to walk up everything he pointed it at. Gooooooooo Sooty! 2018 79 series.

    Having watched every single episode, there are so many great memories of Sooty but the $1000 track would have to be my fav!! Would love a new exhaust for my 2021 Mazda BT50. 😍🚙

      I agree! $1k track is my favorite after watching every episode! I live in the States but own an imported 93 1hdt that I've named Mr Soots lol. I'll miss ol Soots, but hopefully his soul will live on in Sooty MK2

    I own a 100 myself.
    And the most memorable Sooty moment for me is when I stumbled across your channel about 3 years ago and since land cruisers isn't exactly abundent im Norway I was intrigued. Here we had the 100, 200, some short 70-series from the 80's, but mostly pradoes. So Sooty for me the car that really peaked my land cruiser interest. I did not know about the 80-, 60, 55, or forty-series before. I was a lover of land cruisers before, but now, thanks to Sooty (and the dirty 30) I read and learn more about land cruisers and their history almoast weekly. And you also introdused me to Roothy's channel and Milo 1 and 2.
    Thank you.

    First memory of Sooty was a few years ago randomly coming across your channel. She was doing what she does best. Giving it red hot go and contributing to global warming at the same time! Was smoke, mud and smiles regardless of where you were wheeling.

  • @joshscurrah3941
    @joshscurrah3941 Před 2 lety

    What can I say, every memory of Sooty is epic no matter how tuff the tracks are she eats everything up in true Sooty style. What an absolute rig of an 80. Can't wait to see Sooty mark ii hit the tracks. 80 series is my dream rig but I drive a 2004 Toyota Hilux and a brand new Exhaust would be awesome 👌
    Watching Sooty in the glasshouse mountains is probably the best.

    Sooty 🤩 My favourite memory is seeing her in the flesh at the Brisbane 4x4 Show and actually be able to touch and see all the memories (dints) from all the shows. As awesome as those torqit exhausts are on Toyotas, let’s see one of these great exhausts on something different!! Perhaps a short wheel base Defender hey ShaunO? 🤔 Love the show! Never stop

    I'm rocking a 2007 Pajero and it does me proud. My core memory of Soot is hands down 2019 in Fraser Island. The moment I laid eyes on that rig with that beach it transformed my passion to get out and explore. Ever since, I've been glued to these videos and it made me persist in saving up for my first 4WD!

  • @theacreelife
    @theacreelife Před 2 lety

    I have always liked the Victorian high country memories of Sooty....probably because its hot as hades where I live. That and the current crop of videos where you share your feelings while building the new Sooty. It really shows a connection with the vehicle and perfectly illustrates how much we love our cars! Its the same love I have for my 2008 76 series Landcruiser wagon.

    I have always love seeing Sooty in Coffs Habour, I remember the time when Sooty done a rear axle on the first track. Track side repairs are always fun, I hope you kept the small piece that you removed from the housing, would be good to frame and put up in the man cave.

    Up and down the coast , and any journey made throughout Aus , the usual “ puff the magic dragon “ signature blow and full roar just had you sitting at home being what 4WD driving is all about! It just shows the old girls still have it!

    Went to Tassie a few years ago and drove out to Motezuma Falls. Got to the ring road track junction and there is a sign saying once you head down the decent on the track you are committed as you can not return back up. With no winch and pissing down with rain I continued on to Montezuma. At this stage it was too much for the wife who left us and took the walking trail and then hitch hiked back to camp. My daughters and I drove out having only minor issues on the slippery rock descents and climbs past the waterfalls. It was amazing one of the most memorable 4WD experiences I have had. Low and behold 4WD 247 go to Tassie and do the Ring Road. But no the normal way is not for them and they do it in reverse and go up the unclimbable hill. If my memory serves me correct Sooty did it in the wet, no winching in 3WD. My only disappointment was that there was not enough light for you to do the track out to the waterfall so I didn't get to see how she compared to my rig on the waterfall descents and climbs out to Motezuma. I have an NT Pajero with 33's (well 22.5's but I'll call them 33's) and 2' lift. Rear locker and a winch bar with no winch so I have to be a bit conservative as I usually wheel on my own, especially when the wife gets out which is quite often. Can't wait to see the new rig!! 👍

    My favourite Sooty moment was watching her down in Tassie dragging Reubens dead 79 out of the tracks in the middle of the night while pissing with rain. She showed just how unbeatable the 80 with a 1hdt really is. I have the same vehicle as Sooty, a 1991 80 series with a 1 HD-T. Sooty is certainly an inspirational old girl, sad to see her go.

    2014 n70 dual cab hilux. Too many good memories from old sooty to pick a favourite. So ill say, the best memory/episode is this one. An awesome send-off for the old girl, especially with the guard of honour at the end with all the 4wbies. Brings all the memories into one episode. All the best with mk2 🤙🏼

    Just picked up my first 4wd, a 2014 Prado, getting myself into 4wd and so so bloody keen to get started and do her up when I can.

    There is no way to have a favorite memory of sooty. The best part is the way it just keeps on going, nothing can stop the ol soot. And you just can't beat the sound when you get it on song.

    I’m new to the scene here.
    I love watching Sooty tackle challenges. I’m still going through watching the archives but the $1000 track in the snow was an epic run.
    Like a lot of other comments, this ep is certainly a heart tugger. I’m looking forward to Sooty 2.0.
    I’m even newer to the 4x4 scene. Got my first rig (try not to judge) which is a Mitzy Pajero Sport 21. As soon as I bought it, I packed up the missus and kids, took em to Albany and got my rig covered in mud/clay. 10months later and quite a few trips later, I’m hooked making my own memories with my fam exploring WA.

Sooty made me fall inlove with the tracks! my favourite memory is the time sooty powered up the most sketchy rock climb in Lithgow track! Sooty is just a weapon sad to see the old girl go she is just a rig! Always powered on and made the hardest climbs look like an easy task 😂 love ya sooty ❤️

    Mate, best sooty memory was the beers in the shed episode where you spun the yarn about getting bogged on a mates place out near Inverell, nothing going to plan, having to leave it bogged for a days or two and getting a bloke with a tractor to pull you out.
    It’s great because you weren’t too far from where I live. great for the area to get a shout out but I also know exactly what you went through because that’s us on the daily in the black soil.

    The best episode of Sooty would have to be.The Telly track 2019, just after the big wet, deep river crossings (with floating cars), mud stuck vehicles, Gunshot, Nolans and fantastic camping spots with mates. Sooty in her element, doing what an 80 was made for, making it look easy. And because of that I headed to the Cap, after 20year with my 80. Keep up the great content and laughs your all champions in my eyes. 🍻👍

    Favourite memory of Sooty was helping to pull out the Nissan on Moreton island, great teamwork in a beautiful location. I just got off Moreton and makes me feel better knowing that Shauno got bogged in Sooty as well on the island, it wasn't just me. Some real great footage on that trip fellas.
