Love ya boys! You got me into 4WDing this year. Just bought myself an 80 series. You guys have opened up a completely new world to me. I am forever thankful ❤
Welcome to the 80 club 👌🏻
The best club ever
That is awesome mate!
Yeah I got I hilux after watching all there videos 😂 now mates and I are planning cape next year around sep
Night time driving on those middle of whoop whoop highways looking out for those roos
Hats off to Levi, you bloody champ!! Got diagnosed with leukaemia on 17th October and sure isn't a fun time... Haven't beaten it once yet but the thought of having to do it all again sounds like a nightmare can't wait to hit the tracks again

I feel like towards the end of Winter, when people have come back from their mid year Cape York trips etc, that is when a few really good bargains could come up especially with camper trailers.
That's a good point mate!
My dad bought a 2012 single cab triton with 216 thousand on the clock, with all the bells and whistles, arb bull bar, custom built scrub bars, spotties, fridge slide, 12v system and a custom built canopy that we roll out the mattress and sleep in.👍🤙
I noticed that when Graham was talking about when it would be a great idea (next year) to buy a used car.
He changed it from May-June, then to March -April then finished with June -July. And he probably didn't even know it.
Keep up the great work boys, although i don't own a 4wd, I love watching 4wd 24-7
as always, great content guys! looking at upgrading the Nav early next year so a new set of spotties would be an awesome upgrade from the very old square ARBs!
We entered the Simpson dessert from west to east. The first day was a bit windy. We set up camp and had dinner then went to bed in our tents. At about 12.30 in the morning a big sand storm hit and flattened our tents so we decided to pack up and leave. We drove through the dessert at night and had to stop at the top of the sand dunes and use a torch to look were we had to go. A good set of driving lights would have helped heaps. We drove all night and the next day to Birdsville. The lady at the camp area was very surprised that we made it at night. We were stuffed when we got to bed that night.
And that's why i need a good set of driving lights.
Thanks john omalley
Great episode as always guys! One time I really needed a set of spotties was when I was wheeling out the back of Lithgow in my n70 hilux when I lost both headlights plus all sorts of electrical gremlins from going through a deep bog-hole. I found myself navigating the top a ridge with nothing but a torch out the window to look around. I also remember me and my mate squirting the windscreen with our water bottles to try and clean the mud off because my windscreen washer pump packed it in too. Safe to say visibility was a hard thing to come by that night. But it was definitely an adventure and thats what its all about 👍
Great episode guys, we are literally just down the road and would love to come out and watch you guys in action on those awesome tracks. Our kids love all the great work you put out every week. Cheers boys 🍻
I definitely could of used some decent spotties on my rental from Broome. The amount of wildlife outside of the township at night was unbelievable.. the Hyundai wouldn't of definitely benefited from so flash lights in the looks department as well 😉
Levi is such a great story well done guys for what you did for him,is that the first jeep we have seen on here ?
off grid really does get it done. looking forward to the next series Graham.
Love what you guys do! Always love watching after a long day of work!
I definitely wish I had a set of stedi’s when I got stuck in some steep mud in the Vic high country with my mate who had NEVER BEEN 4WD BEFORE! Definitely a trial by firer but after 3 hours of trying we got out and on the drive home my mate
was looking at 4wd drives to buy on Facebook 💪
Love the show! Could use a pair of spot lights for heading north to the cape! First timer, would def help make trip safer
Ive been keeping an eye on 70s troop carriers for about a year now, and see the same thing luckily. After the prices absolutely blew out of the water, they've been going down slowly for months. I'm in the market for one in August, so lets hope this trend continues 🤙🏼
Cheers from Oregon, USA! Just enjoyed thanksgiving, and we’re thankful for you guys! Much love!
A time where i could of used a set of spotties was when i was doing a early remote beach launch with my boat. These spotties would have lit the whole beach up, so that i could see all animals that were in front of me.
Keep up the great content guys!!!
We are definitely starting to see prices come down here in the U.S. The car lots, new and used, are starting to fill up. Rental car inventories are back to normal. All good things for finding a good deal from a private seller.
The 80 is gonna be a beast can’t wait to see it in action
Spotlights are a must for night driving on unsealed surfaces stock headlights only just saved me from a car accident.
Great work guys always enjoy the positive enthusiasm...
Where's Jocko the big red EMPEROR 🔴
Hopefully permanently lost in the bush never to be seen on camera ever again
Hey guys, love the channel heaps and have started to toughen up my diesel X-trail. I do a lot of birdwatching and wildlife photography in remote places and often find myself driving to camp after dark. Those stedi’s would take my humble little rig to the next level make me a lot safer at night.
Cheers!
Another great show guys. I wish I had some spotties a number of years ago when I cleaned up a massive roo, then 5 hours later hit a pretty big boar pig which went under 60 series and took out the clutch! Stuck 5Km from Wilcannia, NSW at 2am.
Your eps are awesome I have been watching you guys for the past few years and you inspired me to buy my very first 4WD keep up the amazing job boys
The STEDI'S will come in handy against divers who forget to turn off their high beams as they come towards you. love the show...keep up the great work. Can't wait for the next episode of Graham's trip around the WA region. His given me a lot of ideas and places to visit.
I was driving from Ararat, Vic to Robe, SA at about 1am and couldn't see anything for the life of me, I only had a cheap pair of spotty's that pretty much gave me stock high beams amount of light and both the globes in my head lights were on the way out. I reckon I could only see about 20m in front of me and that was probably the most dangerous bit of driving I've done, turning off the spotty's for on coming traffic only gave me about 10m of light and I reckon I had a near miss with one roo, 2 rabbits, 2 foxes and one feral cat. Cheers to everyone involved with the show.
Been waiting all week for this, good job boys keep it going
Loving the content boys always the best feeling when I see a new video out
I was driving to a mates property in around the vic high country area at about about 4 in the morning, doing him a favour checking on his cattle. We were about 5 minutes away and we thought we would take the back way just for a bit of fun, 3 hours later with a gruelling recovery and the candles on the old 75, we finally got out. We could have really had some spotties that day.
I definitely agree that the 4x4 prices are going down, great vid looking forward to seeing the new stuff coming out.
I could have used a pair of spot lights one night driving home from, literally drove straight past a room, probably could have given him a kiss if the window was down.
Love the show and have been frothing on some Stedies for ages. I could have used them coming back to camp at night at Kenilworth and almost driving over the edge into the Mary River!
In my beautiful old well maintained D22 Navara 3 lt handgrenade ( b …..t) I drove from Coffin bay S.A. To Adelaide with stock headlights from 2005. Great light would have been a 4/ WD dream to have fantastic Driving lights a Safer way to travel long distance.
Love this show and have learnt a brilliant set of skill because of this famous channel.🇦🇺✌️😊
The 😊240z was and still one of my favourite cars. Was a car I used to work on as an apprentice many years ago.
A pair of spot lights would have been useful when traveling down the highway at 110km/h and suddenly your lights go out when you know a corner is coming around (it was also a moon-less night) so it was pitch black.
Found out the contacts in the light switch were heavily worn out in my 70 series and had to get a new light switch stick.
Love your work boys! The one time I reckon I've needed a set of spotties the most.. I was camping up at Fraser as a keen young enthusiast around 10 year ago.. went for bit of a night flick at orchid beach, then after a few hours of not bad fishing I started heading back to camp.. Misjudged what I thought was a small washout and ended up losing not only my fourby to the sea but also my catch was also returned. Glad I can laugh about it now because it was pure devastation at the time!
I just had the injectors and lines on my 1HD-FTE 79 series done for $2700, they even did the valve clearances & new gaskets for valve cover/inlet system. Runs like new.
Driving from Licola back to Woods Point in winter in an underdone Soft top Suzuki Sierra we hit snow and Ice and coupled with some road side adjustments saw the sun set as we neared Matlock. With the Zooks candle power engaged we found the simplest task of telling whether the road surface was gravel or bitumen difficult. We had replaced the rusted out rear lights with LEDS prior to the trip and at times considered driving backwards to utilise the reverse lights. Needless to say a set of Stedi’s are a must whether you think you need them or not cause I’ve learnt over the years those 4 o’clock tracks mandate them.
I could have use a set of spot lights when I rolled my GQ over while solo driving on a wet poweline track at midnight.
Turned into a huge thing trying to find reception, 2x winches, Snow and all, but the old TD started again drove 3 hours home despite all the damage.
Cheers fellas always appreciate it, Graham when you doing the eastern golf fields
Love the show fellas. Thanks👍
cheers guys awesome stuff luv beers in da shed .. very big thumbs up
Went for a trip to Fraser with a bunch of mates and we had 3 cars, none of which had spotties. Drove all the way up the east coast during the day and then back down at about 7pm. It was like driving home in a tunnel! Spotting wash outs in the dark is not fun especially until you can't see them until you're already on top of them. The stedis would have come handy then haha.
Love these videos. Can’t wait for the glass house
Feels like a year since we've seen both of you together! I'm in dire need of a new Trip cook out with you two
This is a bit of a story but a time when i needed a pair of spotties was a while back when i got my first 4wd and was getting into off-roading it was only my second trip, me and my mates when out the back of my place and were getting into a couple hard tracks and before we could even think about it it got dark and that’s when i realised my headlights didn’t work at all i just had the small white leds it was the worst drive home
ever and to make matters worst one of the farmers that lived up my way had left he’s gate open and he’s cattle were all over the road so i was in pitch black attempting
to not hit any of them. Definitely learnt from this one
love your content as always keep up the good work, those spotties will be awsome as I do alot of interstate driving and yet have always wanted a set of stedies 🤙🤙
Went on a run in Glasshouse, went all through mud mile which actually killed 1 of my headlights and filled the other with muddy water (didnt notice) Ending the session heading up Watson's road bending both rear trailing arms on my old GQ, by the time we pulled the tail shaft and strapped the diff back it was dark. Had to baby it home covered in mud with a candle as a headlight.. Not a fun time.
Guys you’s are great to watch & you have got my son & i keen on going back out 4wd.
The one time i needed spot light was on my old Hilux when i was up in Texas pig hunting and long story short, I wouldn’t have drove it in to a dried up creek chasing the boar if i had spot lights on 🤦🏻♂️
Night run down the east coast of Fraser. Racing to get to the resort before it closes with our room key. Melted the alternator on the way and made it just in time with torches and glowing headlights. Could have used some spotties- or a working alternator.
one time we couldve used some good Spotties was a time me and the boys went up bush to get to our campsite in the middle of the night through Gum Scrub creek in victoria, we had some sub par lights on the bullbar and installed ourselves (first mistake). going over all the bumps rooted the lights and didnt have what we needed to fix them on the track. This was all right before we needed to do a big river crossing, 2 boys hanging out the ute with torches. Just made it through, was a trip ill never forget.
Great beers in the bush episode lads, cannot wait for Sooty's first trip.
Keep up the great content guys, I was driving back from the Learmonth jetty to Exmouth after a night fish in my GQ with candles and just missed a big bush chook in the bottom of a flood way.
Hey boys, love the show, could’ve used a pair of spottys when I just bought my NP Pajero about a year ago, went for abit of an arvo trip to glasshouse with the boys and I told them not to bring their rigs because I was keen to wheel the new rig. Soon discovered that the vacuum solenoid needed replacing and the paj wouldn’t go into 4WD. Had to wait in a dirty old bog hole for about 2 and a half hours for one of our mates to come up from brissy to give me a pull out.
Hi Shaun & Graham, please keep me & the Missus entertained as our days of your 4 wheelin are getting very scarce but that set of Stedi's would sure have come in handy when we crossed the Simpson Desert back in 1986 on a return trip between Delhousie springs & Birdsville when my mates Daihatsu alternator brushes became frozen , stuck from salt & water, we were traveling at night to see wildlife when his battery drained completely , I had to tow him more than half the distance back arriving in Delhousie just after daybreak next morning . we freed up the alternator brushes & we were on our way again on through Fink & out to Uluru, we filmed the trip on VHS, but the STEDI'S would sure have made the trip a lot brighter, cheers Harry & Glenda
always watch your videos all the fun and laughs and joking about . love it i am from the uk keep up the good work
Hi Shauno and Graham. Great episode as usual. I always look forward to beers in the shed.
@Frank Moroney and I needed those spotties on Fraser Island North of Ngali Rocks, when we had to park up on the beach to fix a thermostat in the old GU TB 48 , got caught by the tide and camped overnight with a large rogue dingo circling and eyeing off our dinner. Some good spotties might have helped us ! Some decent spotties might have got us back home along the beach! We ended up armed with a big stick and a broom eating dinner standing up, only one beer and a cuppa, on guard and were grateful for the roof top tent! Sharon and Frank.
Was out 4wd with some mates at night by the Murray river and could not see much, lucky a mate had a set of spoties and it made all the difference. Love what you guys do keep it up 👍🏼
Love watching you guys CZcams channel, have really made me want to get a 4wd as my first car so I can go adventuring. The spotties would be a huge help to me to put on my first 4wd.
Great channel fellas, always entertaining and got me keen to get out more. Time I needed spotties was driving from Townsville to Alice Springs to race finke a couple years back, cruising along near Hughenden and the biggest bloody roo I've ever seen stood up right next to the road while I was travelling a tad over the limit at about 2am. No bar, no nothing in an ss ute. Thankfully he stayed put or it would've been airbags at dawn and no moto racing. Got a 79 series now so not as much of a drama in the roo dept but the lights are rubbish. Cheers lads!
When we 1st got our 200 series we didn't yet have a bullbar fitted due to a wait on parts. We were travelling in out back NSW and in particular the stretch from Bourke to Cunnamulla late afternoon into night. We definitely needed a set of Stedi lights then.
Hey Graham & Shaun. Been a long journey since the days of 4WD Action Magazine. Waiting for the latest edition to land in my mailbox and sitting around with a few beverages with my mates to watch the latest DVD.
How's about an episode showcasing where you guys have come from. Be a refreshing change from the slick CZcams content 4WD/27 is today.
No matter where you find yourself, always remember where you are from.
Thoroughly enjoyed this one fellas, kudos.
Have a ripper boys!
Good job Levi, keep at it brother
great vid guys I could have used then when we were driving Coffs at night and didn't see a massive hole with the standard lights
Up in the Vic high country, globes went out on the old Pajero. All I had were the parker lights. Had to whip out a few crappy LED Flashlights and zip tie mount them to the bullbar. It wasn't pretty but I desperately needed a set of spotties then 😂
Great series up north Graham. I could have used the Stedi lights on my trip back from Exmouth. The cheap lightbar on the roof illuminated every thing straight in front of the windscreen, reflected off the bonnet and caused eye strain but could not see without it. Good steak lights on the bullbar would have been so much better.
Fellas, I watch your show EVERY week, and even watch older episodes again, love the trips and the new Off grid episodes
Now about them spotties
Trust me when I say I am looking for and needing new spotties on my GU TD42 , the ones I still have mounted to the car carkd it up at Cape York and I drove back to Sydney with NO lights and NO blinkers, was quite the trip, definitely could have used them then, thanks boys keep em coming
I could have definitely used the spotlights travelling back from Exmouth. Exmouth to Perth in the night is sketchy but doing it in my beloved 80 with stock lights is an absolute nightmare. Graham knows the route and Shaun knows the stock 80 lights. All 4 candle power!
When I was a young fella I worked with this older bloke who loved a beer, more than your average bloke. Anyway he calls me about 4 o clock one morning blind asking me to drive him to work (big concrete pour) so I hop in my old clapped out navara and as soon as I got out the driveway I realise I’ve got nothing but parkers for headlights too late to turn back or make other plans I pushed on 😂😂. Next 1.5 hours consisted of old mate leaning out the passenger side window with a torch lighting the way to work
We drove Goat Rd (down south WA) in our old bush basher GQ and a mate in a 105, whilst on a massive hill climb, 105 snapped his diff and tail shaft, we were stuck behind him, in the rain and couldn't get around, we waited hours and hours for him to winch up the hill- then the winch fried itself, we were stuck in the fading light on a rocky hill in the rain, long story short someone came to the rescue, but our poor old GQ had lights fading, we limped out of there in the terrible weather behind a car in tow with one headlight barely working.. wasn't a fun time at the time! But an awesome memory now 🤙 definetly needed a set of Stedis then but they'd look mint on our touring 200 😄😄
I got an old 1999 Hilux and kitted it out with a budget winch awnings and recovery gear and a home made tub rack all fit 2000 dollars, I was lucky because the Hilux was given to me, it has new suspension and a rebuilt petrol engine. Now I am saving up for spares and then the fun will begin.
One time I needed spotlights on my 75 landcruiser was when I was out 4wding with few mates. And we all know the old landcruiser headlights are legit candles 🕯️ so could hardly see where I was going and o drove straight into a big ditch and was quite a big smack too.
Was pretty embarrassing having to get snatched out backwards 😂🤣
Always nice seeing Shauno & Graham back together
Just brought myself a Vdj79 2013 with 240k on the odo for $37k got a heap of extras and fairly extensive service history…! Happy. Very. Love the show guys. Liked and subscribed 👍
SOOOOOO looking forward to the Tassie eps coming up. WOWSERS!
Camping at loguebrook dam wa and got myself into a bit of a bingle driving to camp at night, had blown a fuse to my old school spotties and only had my patrol head candles, now building a second patrol with spotties high on the list
I just got back from Ironman after getting my winch installed, and I was thinning about the empty space next to the control box. I sat down, put you guys on for a 4WD fix, and literally was looking Dirty30's Stedi's thinking I really need some of those. And then you guys said a pair was up for grabs. As for when I really needed them and didn't have them- now! Reason being the past few paychecks have gone to a bar, winch, secondary power, bash plate, solar panels, and xmas is coming and I still need to have some budget left over for a fridge, not to mention -some- fuel! Anyway guys, love your work, keep up the classy content 👌💯
Recently bought a single cab hilux ln167 model, me and my dad decided to take it out after some tlc and ended up breaking a rear axle on the tracks up at ormeau 😂. that ended up going into a night run with only 2wd and thank god for a winch. some spotties would definitely have helped when it got dark. doing up the car at the moment and getting it ready for me to get my l’s. cheers boys.
I think in this era the 4Runner is pretty underrated since it’s reliable enough if you service it, and a very good budget 4wd to start off
A set of the Stedi lights would have been awesome on the Hay Plain. I knew there was a bend coming but due to the flatness couldn't tell how far it was. Coming the other way was a semi and another vehicle behind. I could see their lights getting closer and realised as we hit the bend, the truck was being overtaken. I steered off the road to avoid trouble. The truckie let fly over the UHF. A good set of lights sure would have helped me.
Good episodes boys 🍺love Thursday’s !! Laying in my swag watching can’t beAt it go the mighty tritons 💙
Can't wait to see the Glasshouse episode the tracks are so much harder since all the rain earlier this year. I bet there will some fun drives.
I needed spotties back when I was wheeling around a farm outside Richmond qld, didn't see a ravine and dropped the whole front axle of my old 91 gxl land cruiser into it
Love your work fellas, looking forward to the price of 4x4s to fall so I only have to remortgage for fuel!
On another note, could have used a set of spotties while stuck on some unamed goat track in Bago state forest, we were bogged to the sills and being staunched by a pack of wild dogs.
The bar on the back was keeping them away while we were digging it out, the front lights had long shit the bed and the mutts were getting very brave when we had to work on the front...
My big brave bully/staghound was hiding in the back the whole time the big sook....
I just need those Stedi X Pro lights to fill my bull bar out. And for the occasional night drive.
Plus, I think 4WD 24/7 have single handedly pushed the price of 4x4's up because you guys do such a great job of making it look awesome.
The time I most needed a set of spotties I was leaving camp at 4am solo with the dog. Heading down this trail to make my way onto the blacktop and this monster grey roo just popped up infront of us. It was a stand off he wouldn't budge but he was just out range of my headlights in the y62 as we were on a decent. The dog started growling and carrying on. My Y62 headlights don't fade into the distance like normal headlamps, they just have a crisp line where they stop shining which was just short of shining onto this roo. A set of spotties would of been great 👍
Enjoying the beers in the scrub guys, keep it up! Living out of town a fair while ago and heading home from work late at night in my 83 Bluebird. A owl 🦉 flew out and clipped my driver's side headlight doing no damage but scared the shit out of me. Well I swerved hitting a guide post smashing the passenger headlight. Could have done with some spotties!
Fantastic video. Will be interesting to see where the car market is heading in months to come. Would love a pair of spotties as night driving on the tracks is never complete without some driving lights👌🏼
Im a scout leader, a couple of years ago, just after i bought my colorado we went on a camp. Took heaps longer than it should have to pack the trailer and organise the kids. We arrived late at night to a camp site that was suppose to be lit by a streetlight. The light wasnt working and we had to set up camp by the light of the stock headlights on the car, they wernt bright enough or far reaching enough though, so we set up the tents one at a time in front of the car then moved them to ths final position and pegged them down! Would have been heaps easier with more light!!
Could’ve used those stedi spotties 2 weeks ago when we were driving down the Birdsville track towards the end. We came around a corner and fell into a very deep muddy rut and drenched the car in thick mud. Headlights, spotlights barely visible through the mud. lucky to make it out only being in 2nd at the time. Doing a mini lap of aus in our 1989 paj 🤙🤙
Hey @cameronelliott5569! You've won a set of Type X Pro Spotties from the STEDI giveaway! Please send us a message to our Facebook page with a screenshot of this comment & we'll sort you out. If we don't hear back in 7 days, we'll have to re-draw or save it for the next one!
I was driving the fence on the cattle station I worked on. I was in a old 75 series with no mods at all not even light. Anyway I was driving this fence and it got dark there this one part where the track has washed out and turned into a dry creek the only way to get though is to go off the track and cross it and there only one piece to do that anyway the lights on the old 75 wasn’t very good and I ended up crossing a little bit that went out to the side instead of the main creek got turned around because I couldn’t see enough and ended up sleeping on the front seat with no bedding. Yeah some good lights would have helped a lot lol. The next morning I drove though the middle of the paddock to the other side where I made my way home once I did the bit of the fence that I missed the night before
Everyday during the wintertime. North Norway over the Arctic circle it is no sun up for 3- 4 months
Absolutely fantastic episode!!
My story is that I was driving from Tennant Creek to Darwin in the early hours in the morning. As I was on the northern side of Adelaide River about 90km from Darwin a huge buffalo walked out in front of my car. To say I needed to change my pants is an understatement. Thankfully I managed to get around unscathed but definitely a scare so early in the morning. If I had a pair of good spotties I would've seen the big fella well before I got into this situation
Story for the spotties ! I went wedge island north of Perth 1st time there arrived at night in an old disco 1 v8 and decided to go up the dunes full send and what looked like a gradual hill was not. There was a 1m drop down Infront of the dune and I hit the face of the dune hard! my brother in law (front passenger) hit the windscreen with his face when we stopped dead. Had to turn around and drive straight back to Joondalup hospital the same night to get the glass out of his cheeks. I will never drive on sand at night with standard headlights ever again .cheers blokes love the show❤️🍺
Needed those bloody lights in 2018 crossing from Oodnadatta track to coober Peedy late afternoon to get early in before midnight for camp. Couldn’t see those cows right in front of you the whole way.
A set of Stedi spot lights would come in handy about now actually, seeing as one of the old ARB lights on my GU got taken out by a flying stone whilst traversing the Flinders Ranges recently.
Good one guys!! as always.
A set of good spot lights.. Could use those every trip in the 60. The 40 year old candles dont really hold up when trying to find a camp after work on a Friday, let alone trying to get down the road without hitting a roo
I did exactly as you guy's said when buying my first 4x4. I went to see a 20 k 1994 Troopy. The vehicle "looked" good with all the fruit already on it including a solid well serviced engine but, the old girl was spent and tired. Rusted mild steel exhaust, warn out winch, a little rust in one corner of the windscreen, noisy rear crown and pinion, sloppy gear selector and a worry some whine from gearbox when in fourth, warn out clutch, and so on. With one days rego left on it and, after a serious chat with the bloke selling it we agreed on half the asked price. I have spent a bit on it since, (locker's, stainless exhaust, new radiator, heavy duty clutch, engine tuned by Berima diesel...). I would not want any other vehicle thanks.
