THE 4WD SHORTCUT FROM HELL – 4 days in the mud, Bush mechanic fixes, winching into the night

[Music] [Music] this is Tasmania in the middle of winter and mud is on the menu let me smoke out there folks covered in mud it's getting dark there the old money track could be anywhere off night it's value of course and this is one of those decisions we've made natella give little left-hand side track though it's better short kind of who knows not even mi in track when not if this is this was not even only a radar and it is getting dark this is about the 50th which we're about to do tezi if you want to test yourself your vehicle and your mates fly on the right foot baby or we got to yeah get on out of tehse you for now though folks see pregnant over chair crack something cold makes it hissing sound when you open it put that in your mouth and enjoy what will drive action suigetsu up here or it'd be like making up the convoy this trip it's none other than my best mates Shawn oak leading in the big 80 series not much stops that truck except perhaps Tazi mud let's see how he goes down the line we've got stood from wholesale automatics now he's actually got a shack in the east coast of Tazi when he's grown to the love of this place for their first time on a four-wheel drive action trip we've got Adam and Jay from Clearview accessories these boys are pretty new to four-wheel driving so what better way to throw them right in the deep end then a midwinter Tazi trip hey Jade you got a copy there Mike yeah yeah I'm not mistaken and you've done a bit of beach driving up at Fraser before but nothing down here in Tasmania nothing like this might be surprised it gets pretty dolly Tasmania will - marble - rocks rocks dips way to test out a call out to you of that right well let's see what she's got I'm looking for thermite it's like an absolute piece I can't wait to check that out to over a few beers look at those four wheel drives clean as a whistle not a drop of mud on them which means it's time to air down get dirty real dirty cause you mud start as you can see already into the rocks the ruts had in the mud and yet get a load of this we are still on the main road we haven't even turned into the track yet this is Tessie and this is why I enjoy coming down here [Music] wasn't long before we come across this little boozy right here there's no way around it you just got to drop into it I think it was putting one toy up on the high bank nice straddle it funny wonder we know our buck a rule of thumb folks if ever you get to travel with Stu from wholesale automatics is never loosen the stood from wholesale automatics is that vice is often wrong you're a good mates do it I can say that because you're a good mate before get here there okay that looked relatively easy time to give it a go there's not much I can say to make this situation any better I simply stuffed up okay I mean I think with for driving isn't for everyone no it's not it's getting more popular but it is certainly there's a lot of fun guides on the internet that self-help ones you know okay I should read something sure there's a great book out there called four-wheel drive action they go through a lot of the basic stuff okay if you go through some of the tips in there and teach the techniques yeah yeah then you know start with some easier tracks yeah that's right oh I'm s you're not on a track at the moment I'm still on the line ride before I could just get off the main road I'll be laughing right well I can't it was all in the somebody help me please that's a fail from me and we haven't even started yet we figured the best way to do this was a simple push from another four-wheel drive don't try this at home folks gently doesn't stir gently doesn't make the air boys wind up well that's not exactly the start I was hoping for but things can only go up from here I only just got it of that type where I stood you've seen how not to do it who's Bob all the trip it's gone up to break anything yeah that's really good advice dude really good advice man [Music] yeah good Drive stray dog good Drive mate right Oh Adam enjoy time to get that brand spankin new Hilux filthy dirty get into it boys oh lucky let's gently gently pick it up wheels already he scratches helmet good stop with that little introductory challenge out of the way we pushed on only to find a side track that looked well let's just say interesting and that was like a red rag to a bull we've had to give it a try who's like a savage little rock step here and um there's actually two little rock steps which I'm gonna go work cut out for us so it's done here which tractions in you can do it all over here look at that wheel speed that's quite slippery you can really see just how much traction there isn't Charlie rots can I go up this one if I do it a little more but barely not [Music] that right there is foot left at the forgiven everything you've got to get traction together Tasmania sleepy up that line [Music] and then even when you're not on a rock step you still run out of traction what's going on up there Mike [Music] look at that second game that's the biggest rule of forward writing keeping that power give it give it the berries alright Sean I just put on water display I think I've made that book card I'll now show you how to do it the easy way I've seen a line and I reckon if I stick to it stand a good chance to strive and straight up this you actually couldn't so dogs doing them that's been scary holy heck literally out there looking for a d-max one owner low kilometers never driven off-road hard and anger oh yeah contact Graham holy yak what a drive he's giving that a readout go sounds no good god ice - we've taken the top off at night this should be easy not you can see that track right there is just getting more and more slippery as you go up it okay go up you go up the hill there's a Sun in your eyes that's enemy Carolee do any damage here because the system walk step it's not like we can cut it up anymore so it's worth having a few cracks enter you might just wash some of the mud off upon the traction you need to get up that's it come on get guys Judas one movement down but can't back off yeah that was just I saw it Stephanie I look spectacular you'll say there's a big hole right here you want to avoid the drivers tight in there so you want to cut for this side in turn that's fine so we can actually see the track at all I'll stop doing the where are they sometimes despite your best efforts it really is time to put your money to the test and use that winch it's what you bought it for use it especially in situations like this what I'm doing here of course is well it's not textbook but I have got a proper dampener but it's about 300 meters directly up atop this hill and I'm fat old and lazy I can't be bothered to go and get it so I'm gonna use a bag no really you totally can't do this that'll work fine the beauty of this location is we've got so many trees to choose from on all of them so we're just launched you up pop him up over that rock step good to go this also highlights the importance of having someone out spotting while you are winching because sometimes it can be really difficult to see exactly what's going on and if a mate can tell you which way to point the wheels when to drive when to back off just makes life a lot easier over there putting a spotter at the front it's a good idea I can't even see Ron go man you've got this [Applause] Stu I ain't holding back now yeah yeah that was a good Drive buddy other scripty drawing conditions that was epic I reckon when you give us a go mate you want to do it one smooth motion if you want to go up this left line so obviously seat belt on put both your lockers on and if you want maybe sit on a tail as well because if you pay yourself going up here go straight through the seats so really our are Adam and J in the deep end we figured out wherever the boys got a winch on the front now is the time to use it got a winch in from here because it's the first track of the of the day and we don't to break anything he's got some brand new lockers I just put in his vehicle but there's an air leak so I will fix that when we get out of the mud and for now just winch don't break any Seavey's exactly right so all right we're in tune if you like it's hard up against this back the winch off ok what's happened there is that we've used a tree as the anchor point that was way too far to the right hand side and so it looked us up wider just pulled the highlights over so we've stopped everything back to the winch off and now we're gonna choose a tree directly in front and we should see a big difference that's it stop it okay we probably would have had that if you had diff locks you've got this [Music] with that slippery climb out of the way rather drop back into some muddy stuff ha ha ha Abigail that will you that is just two wheel ruts or month haha it's slippery while Sean I was doing battle with a bit of Tazi mud I'm meeting the locals did you walk up from your place yeah ankles get absolutely let's read the first bit that is super slippery Tazi mud thank you sorry I don't disturb your fans get the photo yeah alright Sean I stand it up I've got me photos done now it's time for me to have a crack boys pretty that bit of power on tap when we come I'm driving in manual mode through here second gear low range pretty much just given up the berries wherever I possibly can know [Music] [Music] I'm hung up [Music] Oh gonna try a trick it's no turn traction control a lot of stuff that I overcooked it those ruts are just too deep for the d-max I'm hung up now the carriage is caught neither going forward nor backward I went too far I'm not going anywhere yes yep and I put mud through the everything Creek that's crab track mud yeah right but you got to go this way though not backwards you right you getting scared you go you tell you know what you know what else oh that won't need you really think I'd learn to put me we know I thought for all these years but yet yeah a lad who wished he'd fallen over then what I served him right cheeky bugger [Music] this stuff is so slippery go gate Pongo just can't take off so bright him he's gotta fill up anymore but it's just so stifling all for a spinning so putting up a suti win team after getting over this bit and then just starting this track hare good right that's the d-max out of the way now the other boys - rah - dude you got this mate let's do it [Music] Ximena red-hot go but it exact same spot [Music] rooster tail maybe one more shot stoop one more go mate he's roosting way back to here soon around the window up but never he was like God you want a soy latte with that it's Jews that a red hot go but just like oh I had to do is have to break out the winch as well Brod I'm brand new Hilux Clearview boys are our seats let's see how they go god of magic is that somehow the boys advanced traction beautiful oh that's the dark out so pretty that just worked all right egos of course this is Tessa in the middle of winter that there's not the end of it we pushed on what's camber okay it's a one more but inside Louis yeah good time to call it but y'all know that that's a perfect spot to winch from right there there's no point in continuing doing more damage you could bust a CV even worse and conditions like this you really got to know when to opt for the winch with the d-max time will look a lot like a mud 'mobile and he's my turn to give this a crack I'm slipping John downhill [Music] that's all she got captain as you can see gave it a red-hot go wasn't gonna back off but there does come a point when you got to break out the winch if you need to look up four-wheel-drive tracks in tazzy in the dictionary there'd be a photo of this this is about as quintessentially Tasmanian as you get big ruts water cascading down the track mud mud mud and in our usual form son starting to set and we're still on it so I don't know we'll see how we go we had no choice of course but to continue under the Sun start to go down the mud and the rats well they just continue in the dry honestly you hardly even need to engage four-wheel drive here it's not steep it's just so slippery this is cool goodies teddy you have enough guests over there as happy as a pig in muck for literally so I'll just keep going okay watch it let's see how we go right on [Music] - June the white foot is the one Yamini make the white drive though good Drive mr. dog come on boys [Music] with light rapidly fading we're gonna try and find a campsite you boys got the tracks today I have a bit of fun yeah man look forward to warming up but maybe a few Carl was a little sneaky bought the Scotch someone actually before we get too excited I say the camera car I've been front of the loop too - good bike there standing at the front of it and I think something's wrong we're just about to finish up on the track and well this has happened the drag links that go on the camera car here the boys on a bit of difficulty steering thank goodness a steering arm still on side we're just gonna get this off and hopefully like it to camp tonight before it gets too dark anyway all right I reckon we're gonna need some fills boys sometimes necessity is the mother of invention and when you are trackside in the middle of Tassie with a busted camera truck well you'll do just about anything we didn't think this was gonna work up until the point where it's simply did good is that so what I do here of course the pan out is come straight off the bush so we're trying to line it back up because the problem with the piano that's not connected to the diff the diff is just kind of move side to side and probably come straight out so it's been our best interest to try and make this all stick together so we're going to use a ratchet strap to hold the pan to the diff in that a lot that'll get us back into inter care by reckons in a white so anyway my target packed up we're losing light when indeed off this track our fans with midnight all right back in the 80 with the camera kinda sorta fixed up it was time to limp our way into camp what a first day in Tasmania time to roll out canvas get Ordnung set up get a Flygon have a couple of cold beers bitter dinner and I reckon everyone is gonna be early to bed tonight because tomorrow another big day on the tazzy tracks everybody's up and out of the swags before the Sun we packed up and we are ready to hit the tracks for day two of Tasmania we don't have to go too far from Kennett before we are literally up upon our very first challenge for the day and if anyone thought the mad model it up well I were wrong dead wrong look at this track mate it looks pretty important but me we're not windows up slippery that's all I'm David mud than I thought oh man what are this oh yeah an RPM we've got like a it's like a mini gunshot you gotta try and get over oh I'll look at that when I get there this one's gonna be quite challenging all right I'm gonna have deep the Mahdi's you need that's the other problem for you that's deep wet muddy and gnarly with a vertical exit I don't think he got much chance oh he's got the front up he's got the front up remember the chance that's the hard bit your back your back Wiggles underwater yeah I laid a wrench boys Martin do that relatively quickly to exactly what boys want the underwater yeah good is it you get it a whole new perspective Tasmania or this year see the Savoy the tops of trees beautiful aromas of tasmanian mud but say what draws a pull order no good there's nothing forward on this challenge but to reach the real beauty is there's a trophy directly in front which makes the winching job that much easier yeah to work fellas having seen our Sean went I've decided to get prepped before I even get in that blog oh well yeah a plan of attack here is really just to get into a position where we can winch I ain't gonna try anything heroic whoa that's me we're gonna think we're gonna win this one win she learned it out just go high on that tree we're gonna have to go really high on this tree I think and just almost go vertical probably change the wink to win teen after he's halfway up and then go little bit further down as far as you possibly can so you problem is Graham didn't get his front up over the first village so we've always gonna win him vertically up all right hold there just so we can get his nose up and out of the rut and then we drive to readjust the reach when he's over bring it down a little bit like it's good dad mates up front on the ground to know what they're doing that's the perfect winch position you can see quite clearly they're the from the d-max coming around and out of that bog hole as opposed to being pushed into the bank which is what would have happened if we put the winch right down low on that tree from here we can bring that winch cable back down low and pull myself up and out if we keep it up high we'll pretty much pull the front wheels off the ground and that's not what we want to do [Music] you know you find some pretty funny things in bog holes and I'm graves picked up a big stick here it's about that round where that long led us right through suppose right near his stereo and stuff like that of his thyroid in so you want to try and remove that so he doesn't Bend anything who knows it might be hold everything together so we part of firewood collection done too far for me to move out of the way and give the other boys a crack right I stood the best we can hope for the inmate is did you get your front up and over that lip where we can win too easily you gotta push it baby to maudette are you we just knock this little edge over here probably I always get those fun tires up which will make a big difference this is my chief toilet trouble you're not gonna literally if I help chickens to move dirt how you use it ain't you using they don't let you that rule no you're not job you're awkward and sometimes it doesn't take much just a little bit of track building and you really can make a big difference [Music] and then you guys choose Gotti's front ties up and from here it's pretty easy winched up I reckon that's me oh you dummy oh yeah loss of you everybody I'll tell you what I gotta get them nervous wait there yep this should be a simple winch top or so we thought yeah good no I can't see anybody crazy we've stuffed up here and put that anchor point way to live okay right now you've got this what's happened is it's called stood directly into the back put too much load on the winch cable and it's snapped nice you hear that bang it's like there's like a gunshot gonna - I guess that's why I mean it happens it's no big deal it happens that's why you put a damper on more importantly that's why I was standing over there in the bush that way I was behind a tree yeah shovel just attack yeah so the thing about using rope on you each so you can just basically splice that back on or you can just read with the hook back on with another supply yeah yeah you're good to go again yeah it's got to be out on how about 10 meters of but less right now but yes right on the other end he didn't keep winching from it but well I've looked so here we go yeah but I say we've got a couple little bits and pieces we're gonna try and splice that book back onto the our winch rope and it's a good tip to know because it can get you out of trouble out in the bush I could in a jam you could just tie a knot tied on a good boy it's a bowline there any of you right that's not a good bowline but it's not but what I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna cut that off nice and clean yeah plenty to work with now you'll see me holding a little bit of electrical tape and I've got a punch here you know if you don't have a punch in the in the vehicle I carry all sorts of tools in the back of my lady but you couldn't keys just a bar open like a chief borrow what you want to do here is use this on the end of the winter rope take the winch rope on top doesn't move and then you use this is like a needle to thread and basic what do they call it splice into into the rest of the winter over so make that really is gonna put that down the hole I see us like that yeah the tape holds all to get up so when you ask glycine it doesn't come off use a favorite type this stuff cheap guy I'm just gonna whoa give that a go all right that's good to go that's your mark in the face as you can see there folks it's gone straight through ah you can interact with it you want to pull that winch right through I probably could have done with a bit donate a little little look very big don't do the same thing again you ever go that's right yeah one more go again there you go that's looking pretty good make that time moving that still have that for the next 10 12 trips already we're gonna that last that patrol at the shore I went through there like that straight back on there all right and that bikes with that hook spliced back on Stewarts we decide to put the anchor poor and high now so we're pulling Stu up and out of that of that rear comes up off that chassis and should be right yeah all right look at the difference that's made he's up and out of there in a jiffy sure you're right it's good plenty of you boys have been waiting patiently up the back for their turn now time for them to shine oh they're not holding back they got the front up and I thought for a split second there now we're gonna bring the rear to follow wasn't the case time to winch that's one way of doing it it's good we got here alright we check once again we're getting that anchor point nice and high so we're pulling the boys up and out of the rut as opposed to come to watch that Bank I'll Drive from there and sad we've dared it was onwards but we didn't make it too far before we've got another unexpected interruption the boys this guy over the radio and said they've got a puncture but I've got a sneaking suspicion that it's done ur gonna be somewhere well now it's come off completely what we're gonna do is they Park up on the side here you can see the trucks on little slight lean this way get them back on the right here we'll Jack it up and I can get some air in that and I think this is gonna get booked pop back on as it turns out I was completely wrong and it was a puncher so there's nothing else for it of course but to change it to helping hands on the tools we're gonna make light work of this and be back on the track in a jiffy out with the old in with the new just like that we're all done back in order good news is it just up to sprinkle lightly so get a nice bit of moisture on this track see exactly what we need right because I've been finding there's just been too much traction it's a big run here just might be held up before someone what have a couple of guys at this well that's called indecision I tribes it sort of half straddle it and yeah fussing sure what that line was there's no plot why silent dad he's just a mess of a track you really have just got to get into it and hope you find traction summer that's pretty hard it's too far why turn and I make backing off all the time eat this in one chunk that's that little thing there a lot of people think the max tracks are really only used for beach driving but let me tell you they've got me out of more muddy situations than I can count they really are as versatile as you can think of right here what we're doing is using them to try and bridge the gap in these holes in which bracket so that I'm not dropping it or when you bottoming out yeah boy see have a go at that couldn't be easier max tracks not just for the beach Weiss Jun let's see it buddy he's come on stuck in exactly the same spot as a plan of attack here is to put max tracks behind Stu so that he can reverse on it and then take off honey grip let's leave these where they are and this reverse all the way back down left on the crack Laura we're gonna hit that exact same spot with the max tracks in place Lenny momentum and it's worked an absolute trap it's a good Drive - what's up and you nearly killed a cameraman by the way you did well Mike that was good how much of that was you and how much that was bought by one pipe are you gonna be printing on the 4-pin you push that and I didn't leave put a live right giant Adam let's do this you can see we've left those max tracks in place there because work fish jus should work for the boys give it a little on that sit yeah bit more commitment and the boys have done it that's an aggressive drive well done so one of these days he tracks they're so tight in places and it really does not have enough this a good set of mirrors that fall back in and that are really tough but the cleave you boys will they've got a step further what a take this opportunity to show you their new mirrors because trust me they're very very impressive these mirrors of course are the same clear view time mirrors that i've got in saudi the 80 in both 179 but there's one very special difference in it how cool is that of course they've got motors inside so by the press of a button you can fold them against a side of your vehicle that's super handy in tracks like this in tasmania tuck them back out look at that photo to work and of course no need to get out of the vehicle yeah cool is that pop-up yeah how cool is that you know that really is a clever little function the cleaver you tiny mirrors to be able to push them back in by the press of a button I mean specially here in Tasmania where it's real thick and it's really cold you only get outside and push them in yourself I mean it's really clever in fact they've got another little function for the press of a button it's actually got a heater element inside the mirror so it can defog those mirrors on those cold winter mornings very very clever now these motorized clear view mirrors of course still manual so you can push them out or if you do hit a tree by mistake there's no harm done the force they pull out as well they're just a really clever bit of kit if you ask me absolutely unreal mate well there's a few hard tracks down there so I reckon let's get in okay as has become the order of this trip order up against another slippery Hill pond you know that's the guy you just feel the toys gripping [Music] but no choice the vehicle guys where was the guy you just keep that right foot buried Oh spelling I'm moving hi baby give us ice lolly [Music] yeah gonna have to wait one thing you've gotta love about tazzy is there's plenty of trees to winch off all righty oh boy right boot is the order of the day the boys have seen how I've done it and they're gonna follow suit [Music] Stu's gonna have a second try just a bit more berries in my tab this I thought he had that boy it was confident but jus never says never he's having another crack well winter that's a smile but joy I'm gonna do damage my time to bring you out the window epic epic right eye Jon and Adam you've seen how it's done well let me say this you've seen how we win stream now it's your turn the boys are twin locked plenty of clearance I might just do this you know oh rich [Music] now we're talking it's been another big day on the tozi tracks and right now I think I speak for everyone when I say it's time to head for camp we got a 10 out of 10 for funds at i/o reckon well you reckon the plan is Mike what you want to do it starting to get dark it is I reckon um who knows approaches something I totally get to camp who knows all right camp it is mate because camp means here's your fridge looking but it's been a while since I don't look in the back of your truck no there's nothing of note in there mate especially not in the fridge anyway all right no but I'll just check it out anyway um so let's get into camp and Craig Goldy okay how did you get a copy yeah we had a bit of carnage today but it's also fun hey down fight for those mirrors of yours yeah I'm hearing top Nick yeah if they've handled quite well I'm very impressed like so I can jump in a cab but anyone who I helped with the reefster day I reckon I had me at least one beer Oh else your urine fair yeah really rough all mine I know they won't break with shorts hard-driving the campsites in Tazi never disappointed and this little bad boy is one of our favorites this right here is the river's edge wilderness camp site just outside of hewn ville beautiful campsites right on the river and it's a favorite of ours we've camped here a few times and I reckon we'll keep coming back [Music] another balmy night in Tasmania I mean whose vet - about 400 I think tonight I take you inside the 80 a little bit of meal that's a nice hearty chicken soup chicken soup and it's not gonna light up I'm gonna cut a few corners like usual and I pretty much got it there chicken stock so anyway I went into the shops in town here I got all the chicken at the supermarket in you and Bill and less starting that with that cuz that's a pretty important gradient chicken soup so yeah what I've got here I got a mixture if she can literally bought the whole place here the chicken I'm what you can left in your door it's going let me do these yeah so the plan here is just a flight actually get off and cut into smaller pieces it really is a one-pot wonder super easy to make and tastes good there's a couple little secret ingredients I'll share with you as well along the way so I get buddy hot in there you're gonna well that's good that's good you get it nice and hot I think I made a bit too hot to be honest Oh get me I mean let's Chuck they mean just like that we'll cut these thighs you know smaller pieces but not not too small oricon when you're doing curries or soups or anything like that try and get big chunks of meat because otherwise off on the smaller ones start to lose their flavor what we're gonna do is again by to the soap if you can't have a dirty oven because look that's a good tip for anyone on the Cape I have a night clean at all the time just uh because I reckon a camp oven retains a lot of flavors from everything you've cooked over the years and after 10 or 12 years of cooking with this one I reckon I'm onto something here is viola bit of garlic with Chile not too much of either mate because you you know you know I don't really like that sort of stuff for the old chilli and garlic no you forgot tubing in you yeah in Chile that's extremely hot that one that's the what is it that's pretty hot is it now how do that don't see that good now taking the black off the chicken side side look red and a bit garlic in here so that's good right it's up in the veggies in yeah you go north so I'm just cutting the veggies things I'm putting them in next so they sort of saute a little bit with the old chicken little down you saute infuse mesh network jacket in this joke when you got when you got it and pull get him in there what's next what do we got there art the other veggies there all of them anyone know that it's a chicken veggie soup so this is a stock get the sock in it you need more water ah yes nice that's heaps the last thing before I go I said there was a secret ingredient bit weird I've got a bit of tomato paste you know ideally want to be a two teaspoon well for this one at least the whole eye one of these I mean give us the Mac give us the thumb touching it and then yeah look I don't do this at home but bit of pass up he's gonna put like just a little bit in there slightly our chicken mince training sort of thing yes lay it on half an hour maybe maybe 45 yep or four beers whatever whatever whatever sort of time system you years when I've got a good fry guy we got another that next to the side of it I'll be right here we go straight up straight up here this is nice and warm steam it I won't take a drumstick you take those mate I'll take them just a bit mate though I still like the welding though I'm probably out in a that for this oh look at this boys although is that a ladle that looks sensational right the boys are loving it mmm chicken vegetable stew or call it now absolutely unreal can we get the internet for grab a little bit of courage and yeah we'll go down there and finish this off [Music] the tracks are filthy and we're not much better but that doesn't stop us getting up early getting a copper on getting back out on to the Taddy tracks or boys another guy on the tracks and just got a feeling don't know look don't be a psychic or something like that but I reckon is gonna be a bit of mud and rock today right it's Tasmania 100% oh good I'll get that drove you again you aced your dog all right can we make a new roommate every time I have to help you in Seattle a place it's one bit what are you gonna buy me ice absolutely stunning through here just this different time I've never been attached mainly this time of year I think most people would think you've got rocks in here if you come to something here but you're prepared for it you know you've got a spray jacket some more clothes and and a good wench people have a lot they are a superball Danny it must be it some serious ltitude at the moment some downright chilly outside you know wrong there mate the opportunity I was me bouncy driving gone [Music] one of the things I noticed down here is obviously you want to get you so far a decent set up core wardrobe because the tracks are quite hard but um I think I think what's most important it sounds I'm good recovery gear just having a winch on the front of your vehicle and of course the snorkel have those two things and good set of mud tires as well if he takes great things so don't be well you really need to tackle Tasmania and have an absolute blast just like we are what we've got here is a beautiful little Tasmanian creek crossing it's only a short one it's not deep but it's extremely rocky and bouncing I reckon if you were to go upstream from here with a little trout rod wouldn't take you long to get beginner sean's up first and there's a definite line across this Creek Crossing so we'll watch him and just see how he goes to be honest this is a really good chance to stuff give that undercarriage a bit of a claim Oh Jews nearly come unstuck on that exit it's not steep but there's just a number of rocks that if you take even a slightly wrong line you're gonna get wheel spin one thing about Tazi there's no shortage of rivers and here's an absolute beauty beautiful they call this thing they call that this nature's carwash is what they call it yeah I saw a spine back actually between sensing the slot make them draw it through this look at it absolutely beautiful I might put my max tracks in here lady for a while Mac it was a huge log in there I'm crossings like this that always pays to be aware of the holes that you do see you can drop into them and bottom out and whilst it's not dangerous it does become a bit of a issue if you've got to jump out and winch yourself means you're gonna get wet we've managed to avoid anything like that and we're all across safely despite that little wash though you're never gonna stay clean for very long in Tasmania a man-made ops - with us not a lot of room in there Shana no keep it straight and narrow mate [Music] it's really rocky bottom you'll have no Darla's up so ever and something floating in there who for once traction isn't going to be an issue but fitting through here might be [Music] people thought there all good all good in the hood G we shiny just fit in there they're a bit of traffic for ya [Music] here than your guilt [Music] what we've got here is a bit of a choose-your-own-adventure there's a few lines you can take through here well boys I'd check the depth of hourlies puddles and they're not really puddles a middle one is actually like an ocean I want to go the right-hand one oh no he goes on a third one from the left our buddy that is deep that is people in deep and muddy this ain't looking real positive but the good news is Shawn's able to reverse have another go first have another go yeah my scrap gata2 said scrap what I just said maybe probably have backwards and I'll go for another one now scrap that idea time to winch him out but the good news is he's got three other options to choose from what's he gonna decide on and why don't get me our measuring stick out and get a second opinion this is the one I reckon you go you reckon yeah oh yeah that's all right yeah all right I mean I think this is you want Lily to check the rest of it I'm sure we'll be right windows are going up I'm going in hate to go come on live fraud baby come on you got this Oh we're ready let's give it a go can't say I'm lying dude you've been doing some really weird drives this trip I don't that is you're welcome first up you're welcome I obviously cleared that that path for you that the the suti monster came through cleared the path like a player like a highway and you're welcome I think the evidence is clearly on people's TV screens there's a way to drive and then there's your methodology [Music] last once you made that look easy Pitblado Adam and Jay your turn without a doubt that little obstacle just got easier the more people went through it and that is against the rules whoa bit of fun and so from there it was onwards through more creek crossings and more big puddles you know gonna blow your might but another BOGO now how do I believe that my Jersey it doesn't look great to be honest on you stand before we get to it well that didn't work according to plan at all that's really David I thought the camera crew check these to be honest we're good another winch job of the hands and a Sean I said to exit the hard way [Music] just just check I'm not going straight into that back turns out what was happening there was always just pulling Shawn I straight to that banks I was never gonna pull him up and out we need to dig that away and try and create a bit of a ramp bit of clearance now you're not moving at all my yonder sliding forward while Shawn sets up for a frontal recovery Stu takes another track and tries to get around in front of Shawn mate that just looks like dirty work oh you poor bugger okay we're gonna hook you up here and see if we can't snap Shawn forward the big problem we might have is stood illusion traction Chaz he really is having the last laugh okay so that didn't quite go according to plan she was falling over into a puddle got himself bogged and now we gotta live snatch strap between them so we're going to run rear which screws rig the front of this rig pull the two together and then we can take that snatch strap off [Music] and finally a plan has worked we've managed to pull the two trucks together and we can get that snatch strap off [Applause] so now Shawn is free and suus done she's having a red op go to drive out of here but he's just crabbing sideways what was that look at that he fully booked me I got an exhaust blow to the head Stew's that a solid goat trying to get out of there but he's just not making any headway so now we need to try and reach him out backwards I might I've seen the middle of my damage done I'm not gone in there that's that's ridiculous suggest anyone ever go in there every go in block it off to be honest yeah II type up all right I'll meet you out on the road sure make you on the road and then I've got a little thing a little secret thing I want to show you probably see that why do you see this thing going on this your shovel yeah well and trying to get sure no way I came into this little I guess you'd call a little gully washout thing here and I've bottomed out myself because a good nether drive to get through so the boys are just going to come down here give me a quick wedge before we got backwards that I'm going to reverse out here and avoid that obstacle down there [Music] at this point we're really keen to get out the color out of Falls but of course this is Tasmania and nothing is easy have a look at the mud straight on that tree you've really got a wonder yeah yeah you got up that high well you're going first that's the good news that is a great news it's the good news your girl let's good about that well I get to watch and see oh it's full on I reckon stand right beside it's a chance I won't flick anymore hat and I'll stand right here let's go give it a go oh whoops [Laughter] all right boys um I want to jump in and see what happens here I might give you about 20 meters night boy you're gonna be very close to the bank on this one near the mirrors hit the bank and they've gone in [Music] war you've kicked up a log about the size of my tires in there that's just ugly there's no other word for it and now it's my turn never guard that mess ain't know why I'm getting over that I don't I don't think I'm gonna get through with that great big rock there I just take it over there's only one way forward for me here I've got to move that log out of the way oh this thing only weighs about 900 kilos dude oh yeah boy this is just what I felt like yeah you got a bit of track building and we're off nice drives do but you realize it's because I move the logs that you drive through you can thank me later Mike all right boys we played the white throw you come [Music] we'd that adlai it's time for us to finish the pail who are out of track copy shot oh yeah I got you mate you got any wobbles and vibrations after beam in that mud man no I'm a bit over I've got to be a bit of mud on me inside the beard will bloom in a rod well a bit sudden pletely different and let's get the top of smoke to use he might have a look at all the router falls what'd he say right that sounds like a good change of scenery good afternoon and have a look at of you straight up ain't even complain I might and I can fight see I'm from a muddled year give had mutton area most of this trip what even doing but me made me eyes made me car but everywhere has been the theme of the trip Diana Moyer even boys absolutely loved it up unite hot definitely tell you what that little high likes is Venus star performer on this trip st. mark sprinkle well that's it it surprised me what's gonna ask you boys what are the chances I can get a set of those drop down steps just primarily for my um well height quite a view now for your D max yeah D max shorty G you to get into my house at home wanted a two-stage stick room got a negative set a steps one lowers and the next one lowest and I'll tell you what you guys need to work on is I get dropped down for each slide that actually drops up so grinding part rate to my fridge will get straight onto it thank you this right here is Pelle Virata Falls one of the most spectacular viewpoints in the whole of Tasmania and it is a true Ricci ditch four-wheel drive low track to get in and it's well worth every inch of the struggle but what you are also guaranteed to encounter is adventure and a whole heap of fun put Tasmania on your bucket list it's honestly one of those destinations that I cannot recommend more highly right you what have you I I look at that it's unreal to be honest here if I asked a question if I said give me one word to describe this trip you can only say one word what are they beautiful mud I like it you blokes positive you cruise I reckon that's the money for this badness it's fun oricon these tracks in Tasmania does what vehicle you got yep it's a lot of fun super fun man I was thinking before you can cover so much ground here and do so much for driving in a short space one take a few I've filled up one tank of fuel and we've done on weeks where the full Rob yeah yes I'm the value for money in today yeah I'm gonna take the easy way off this not that way I'm gonna go back to our trucks this way look down that way seriously we're still gonna get out of here folks tezi put it on your list it isn't it wait we've done a little tiny portion in the south where are we heading next north north east check out the beaches who's got a shack up there we're gonna go and destroy that bikes get to Tazi jump on the spirit of tez he counted indoors for yourself and definitely come and stand right here and bring him out the scared of us [Laughter] [Applause] I'm one that's our ticket things are folks gonna be Hill home trip [Laughter] help-help Recor head yeah after you got the challenge hot spot baby I can't even see that's my voice I'm not saying anybody's Rumble right just you know but we drink of water if that's okay you spend as much time at the bushes mate you don't need to even look at whether we try it guys [Music] yeah how you use it I use it use it real no you're not you're awkward here we go dole Bengal stop the government you get a I'm going Taylor I'm just a bit to go into a water crossing yeah three things you need to remember personal choice of course seat belt on ladies their window down and the third and probably most important is traction control a good stance okay guys we're going in need help you guts look right into me I want to plant me crying probably should go back to the terrace give this a go I don't reckon you're gonna get anywhere lose one night or we could just take this perfectly good tracker which is behind us on the camera where's the fun in that right praise a hundred first up you're welcome I obviously clear that that path for you that the the suti monster came through cleared the path like a player at a highway and you're welcome I think the evidence is clearly on pebbles TV screens well I'm a lyrical dancer banana-eating transfer monkey in a tree that's not for me do again yeah I'll just sit in here you go you go you know [Laughter] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
