My new favourite YT channel. Just been back thru past vids, love the rig and the your adventuring attitude . Remote touring at its best 👌

Good tip on taking a photo of hitch lock

You are the best family 4 WD adventure family out there!
Love your easy casual style and keeping it simple.
Great photography too without over editing it and always good advice.
Hope to see you on the road and share a beer, if you don’t mind an old fella and his dog joining you around the campfire

Climbed Mt. Nameless at Tom Price last week. It’s pretty narely too. This one will be on my list now. Well done. 👍

Fantastic job filming the climb up, lots of wheel lifts show how steep and gnarly it really was.

[markdixon]

That was a challenging 4x4 drive up that hill, front wheel off the ground a few times, great views and that pie, looked bloody yummy. Have a good week guys cheers 🍻

LIZ! I would have had the bottle of whiskey in my hand! It is very beautiful but I think my heart would give out😅 great achievement though. I wouldn’t have slept the night before. Good you worked out the power issue. I love that you show the stuff that happens, we are always doing little running repairs and I think it’s great for people to plan a bit for what does not go as expected 😅

Another great episode guys.
Always look forward to Sunday mornings watching your latest instalment.
We are planning our own trip from Perth to Darwin then down the centre and back home so watching with interest where you stop.
All the best.

Wohooo. What a track! Some great filming there team. That looked like a pretty good pie to me. Thanks guys. Another great episode as usual. 😊

Do agree that Mt Meharry is arguably one of best 4wd track in WA

[KWofPerth]

Loved the Mt Meharry footage, having done it in early July as well. Speccy views and a challenging little climb!

[filthyoffroadadventures]

Thanks, that track is now 100% on our list when we make it to WA.

Up until May 2025 we are still in Qld if you make it over this way and need extra car on challenging adventures. We spend most of our times solo exploring too and love it but in tougher tracks I do understand the advantage of support.

Enjoy your break.

I ditched the pole on the aframe 6 months ago. Zip tied eversince.

I use Linch Pins in the end of the mid point tube holding up the Stone Stomper. They are quick to install and relatively cheap. Bunnings have them.

[auzzieuk]

Just wondering if there were any potential pinch-holes on the way up Mt Meharry? 🙂Although you'd need your head checking if you were attempting to tow anything up there!
Also, genuinely laughed out loud at the 'Master Chef' comment Simon... but they did look pretty tasty.
Another great vid guys. Thank you.

Looks like a VICTRON battery protect.
The Battery Protect disconnects the battery from non essential loads before it is completely discharged (which would damage the battery) or before it has insufficient power left to crank the engine. In manual E1 is short circuit

[PeteWilsonAHCPhotography]

1248 metres is virtually the same height above sea level as Lake Eucumbene at high water mark and the drive is nowhere near as adventurous as that drive.
Great work TLP's.

[Accolades]

Great vid... dunno how ya survived without the dishwasher and running water 🙂

[niffa]

Looks like a great hill to test out the Rubi, I'd be there with ya for sure.. to bad I'm thousands of Kms away.. 😢
