I love manual, but the auto is objectively better in most off-road cases. It also allows you to be smoother and avoid drivetrain shock in tough situations.

I think for a single winch, you could rig some sort of post-mounted pulley to flip down and push the cable below running gear, mufflers and stuff.

It actually depends on the vehicle power train and gearing. My Jeep YJ and TJ are totally different off-road both are good but due to different powertrains the YJ needs 4 low most often and the Rubicon in almost never in 4 low.

Awesome driving, persistence and a display of skillset. Personally, I don't think I would have been able to manage that. Trax would be coming out for sure

I have a question : How can I safely negotiate an extremely steep decline using a manual 4x4 vehicle while off-roading? The slope is so steep that if I take my foot off the brake, the car will roll downhill very quickly. I need to use the brake and clutch to prevent the engine from stalling, but this puts a lot of strain on the brakes and hubs and doesn't allow enough oil pumping. Should I use a heel-toe downshifting technique or blip the accelerator to manage this situation effectively without fully relying on the brakes? How can I best use first gear to control the descent without stalling the engine?

Track them down, twenty year ban for all involved where they can't enter national parks, big fines, vehicles confiscated and sold. Can almost guarantee this behaviour will stop immediately.

Idiots. These clowns have their year or two of stupidity, then leave bans and closures for the rest of us to suffer. Maybe an age restriction in National parks, where under forty means forget it.

It only takes a few fools to mess it up for everyone. Sadly those few fools will always be around sooner or later.

Wait, is the winch mounted right behind the drivers seat on the wrecked rig?

Wet (lubricated) torque= subtract 10% from the dry torque spec, and set your torque wrench to the new lower value. If no torque wrench is available, tighten it until it just gets loose again, then back it off ½ a turn.

Yellow covers also stop bugs flying towards the car

If you add yellow covers to your driving lights it fixes so many issues Like snow goggles are yellow to add better definition

so strong these Patrols.....why wreck it

Isn’t it funny how brand/engine/thought process we are to a vehicle. Rabid 80 series fan 6 in total), and wish I had 100 more. Great video, and thank you for sharing…..

Anything you said is spot on. I just don't get this type of 4WDriving, bouncing and crashing over the rocks and I see some very expensive vehicles doing it. These are the types who causers tracks in NP's getting closed off to 4WDrivers,. Would have loved to know if they pricked up all their rubbish?

Glad you're bringing attention to this as this recovery was amateurish, which is surprising considering almost everyone here would be a local so you'd think would have some idea as to what they're doing here. In addition to everything you said - those 2 people standing where they were @ 2:00. The person in the water just not even looking for crocs, but both of them standing in the potential reach of that rope snapping and hitting one of them. I've seen ropes and chains snap and shoot off in surprising directions. Also the person standing on the backhoe's/trackor's bucket - if a chain snaps and hits you it'll knock your jaw or a limb clean off. No exaggeration. It looks like they waited a while for that backhoe to come out, as the current had changed drastically since the car was first stuck, so perhaps I can understand them attempting the recovery with that other car, but even still waiting some hours for a suitable recovery vehicle is well worth it - that water is high enough for a small or medium croc to sneak up. It may not bring you down but will rip up your calf pretty bad.

Where is the Bundera?

What an idiot He just mashed the gas in reverse with no thought.

This guy is a terrible driver. He hits the throttle while it’s still in reverse then goes flying down the hill. Yea nah bloke can’t drive for sh**, prob thinks he’s a champ at it though. Bunch of brainless idiots on the tinnies circle jerking each other. Saying the comments after the roll are good aussie value is just adding to that circle jerk.

i am not sure how this become big deal? i always put lube on wheel nut, because easier when u to open :P if people dont like that, just dont do it, why interfere other people? :)

Looks like 40psi in those tyres 🤦🏻‍♂️

It's stupidity like these guys have that ends up ruining it for the rest of us. I'd saty the roll down the hill might have knocked some sense into that bloke, but I'm sure he has no brain.

My LC 200 front wheel came off in zimbabwe after abot 5000km whilst touring. I suspected the nuts werent tightened, but after yr vid I think too tight is the answer! 1 stud was broken and nuts all loosened up. I thought broken stud was last but now im convinced it was first ! Thnx and greetings from SAfrica

Gona cop hate as im only 40sec in and ill fix at the end but from what ive seen and heard already im going to say your type of 4x4ing will be different to someone else's doesn't mean your right or wrong and doesn't mean there's is right or wrong being into 4x4ing is like being into cars some like racing some like rallying some like showing off some like drag racing and so on and so on, 4x4ing has many different aspects aswell so because you like and do things 1 way and someone else did it another doesn't mean you get to say its not 4x4ing its like telling a rally car racer its not proper racing just because you race on road surfaces. You also have to take into account the experience levels of the driver you may have done this in a swb vehicle and this is a lwb but what was your experience level at that time, it could have been less then 6 months for this guy and he might not have mentors teaching him so hes now learning the hard way

It’s almost criminal deliberately wrecking good ol’ patrols.

Hi all, According to DIN and IS standards, springs made from wire or rod with a diameter above 16 mm should be hot coiled due to specific reasons. We have consulted with several manufacturers who claim they can cold coil springs using wire or rod up to 30 mm in diameter. Could you please advise if springs made from wire with a diameter ranging from 16 mm to 30 mm using the cold coiling process would be as effective as those made using the hot coiling process? I look forward to your valuable suggestions. Best regards, Johny

Certainly no shortage of douche bags driving these vehicles. No real driving skill at all.

I'm an old guy and I've always thought of straps as "Tow Straps", never for tanking a speed run and hitting the strap with tons of force. You ease into the pull slowly, never shock load them. So I do have them but I use them on trees as anchor straps (Tree Saver), or as an extension to a winch line.

Cant you just piss out the window

This is the third recovery channel where the main character is called Matt... Coincidence...?? I THINK NOT!!

Bogan and muzza bush bashing or bashing the bush…tools!!

I have a 2005 land rover lr3. I turn a knob and let god figure it out

Makes me cringe but let boys be boys. They will only learn one way.

Is wheeny creek a “legal” track I live at Camden And every track near me is “illegal” So if I want to go driving I’ve either got to drive to newnes or yalwal which are both over 2 hour drives for me

Great conversation! You covered the topic well. I’m in camp that believes anti seize is good thing. I get a sense of satisfaction knowing that the next time I get back into the assembly I won’t have to fight with rusty fasteners and rust-welded rotors.

Just don't cross when water is too deep &/or too fast flowing - simple.

The biggest issues with those old Subarus was the insufficient ground clearance.

its not the new visitors/immigrants that are tempoary australians

Most useful video on youtube

This guys has never been wheeling

Clearly they didn’t give a stuff about wrecking the vehicle which lead to an irresponsible attitude throughout to the point where, fuelled by alcohol, they had little regard for their own safety exacerbated by obvious ignorance of how to drive off road or of cable breakage dangers. I don’t think any of them realised at any moment how lucky they all were that no one was seriously hurt or worse.

How you phrased the discussion about oversteer, and preferring high range 4wd over low range I think is a bit of a misstatement. On a gravel road rwd is totally sufficient. With 4wd versus 2wd its not a lot more safe in corners...

This is a perfect example of bogans in 4x4's, these tardo's are the reason our parks are being shut down.

Really appreciate the update matt. I have just purchased one a few days ago for the front diff of my 80 then saw your original video thinking oh no haha. I am super keen to get it in my 80 and see the difference it makes.

Don’t listen to this man. Factor 55 is four miles from where I am now. The extreme duty shackle doesn’t spin freely on the retention pulley effectively increasing the load. The standard shackle is “self” lubricating and is designed to work with the pulley. A soft shackle works because it’s under a load and in a dynamic pull recovery by definition has slack in it and if a soft shackle could ever come undone it would be when it is slack.

I just own my first 4WD, Toyota Hilux, and I appreciate your knowledge very much 🙏

And the attitude for the bush shown by the individuals in the video is the problem with society, you find this sort of behaviour on represented in most groups . Dirtbike community has them , boating community has them, all groups do. They will be the loudest when the areas they have thrashed are locked up for good

I bought a BP (Gen 3 in US speak) 07 outback as a cheap work wagon with the intention to replace it in about 12months. Absolutely love it it's the best all rounder car I've ever owned and that includes some fairly expensive brand new vehicles over the years. About to do a 3inch lift with bigger A/T tyres and have some fun with it here in NZ. Even totally stock with a set of yokohama geolanders its never got stuck. It owes me nothing and paid itself off immediately through working with it. Great vid

This was an awesome learning resource ❤

Your comments about the fatigue are well thought. It's very easy to get tunnel vision and make hasty moves when really the best thing is to focus on reality: it's not your car. It's not an emergency. The car is already ripped up. Hard to toss in the towel for the night, but oftentimes it's best just to stop and pick up in the morning when you get late into the night.
