I think that the current format of 4wd action /4wd 24/7 has become really bloated. I'm not opposed to a show or 4wheel driving evolving. Just not a fan of expressiveness

What a great segment. I'm only 42, and hate to sound like the old guy, but they just don't make it like these older videos anymore. Our beautiful country is as much a star of the video as anything else. The simplicity! Everyone has a truck here that's achievable on a budget. Open back trays and all!! I love it. Long live the 40 series. Cheers guys

That was a total nut and bolt rebuild - if it's still looking good it'd be worth it.

I'd forgotten what good content looks like. One hour of good material, and not one piece of product placement to ruin the experience. I can accept seeing the logos of sponsors, but having the host pause the real content every couple of minutes to talk about how wonderful a sponsor's bit of kit is (like they all do today) - nope, not how to treat an audience (and now I can avoid that crap via a host of good amateur material on youtube). Thanks for sharing an oldie but a goodie Roothy - very enjoyable...

It’s interesting that nearly all of these types of shows have one thing in common.... lots of booze. 🍻🍺🍻🍺

Pat, you muddled yourself with the facts. The winds (generally westerly) cause the sand to drop off the top of the dunes making the eastern side steeper. The toughest route is therefore east to west. There were a few Vic’s downed the night before!!!! Lol

@JOHNROOTHROOTHY

Yep, east to west is the steeper hills which is why Big Red is the steepest. Pat would have known that, I just primed him with too many beers...

Pat was wayyyy wrong saying effies gonna make a comeback 😂😂

Haha most people like peanut butter... Good ol Roothy

There's some incorrect information in this video around 31:30 or so. The prevailing wind which forms the dunes comes from the west. The easiest way to drive across the Simpson is from west to east, the same direction these blokes are travelling.

The F250 is right hand drive, awesome, you don't see that a lot (from RHD country),

AS noted below by another viewer, Pat is wrong. The steeper side of the dunes is on the East. So the easier crossing is West to East.
