Filthy Off Road Adventures
Filthy Off Road Adventures
We are a couple passionate about exploration & discovery, traveling with our two boxer dogs. Our journey will take us around Australia in a Jeep Gladiator, towing a Lifestyle Reconn R2 SE Hyper Camper. The Reconn is on order with an ETA of Jan 2025, so we are currently camping out of a Mod Con Forward Fold Camper or a swag
We aim to experience & share the diverse landscapes and cultures of Australia. From coasts to outback, we’re excited to explore and document our travels. We offer tips & insights for a successful overlanding adventure.
Join us as we navigate beautiful scenery & immerse ourselves in unique experiences.
Follow our journey & get inspired to embark on your own adventures in the great outdoors.
Together, we'll explore the wonders of Australia, one road at a time.

Brendan has NO Regrets !!!!
😂😂
Posting back to Brisbane can't wait to re join and participate again with you all.
Awesome welcome back to Brisvegas. What rig do you run?
@filthyoffroadadventures Thanks. I have a 2012 JK unlimited sport and 2021 Gladiator sport. The wrangler is my second. I accidentally rolled my first one while out with BJC, but I'm glad it was out with the club as it helped having everyone to assist in the recovery.
Oh wow that would make for a story, hope nobody was injured. Look forward to meeting you on one of the runs.
Such a great video.. love this type of content, but also love touring videos too. Great spotting by all. Cant wait to get my XJ out there. I have done alot to it and want to make sure its ready. And it is ! 😊
Awesome so that means you will visitor on one of the Brisbane Jeep Club trips soon?
That's a definite!!
Awesome
I love the square bodied cherokee's. They look amazing.
agree 100% If we were not packing up to travel I would be very tempted to get one and go down the similar path as Dane has. Even better I have seen one that was chopped to look like a style side ute.
Go on, you know you want one !!!😁
@Wolf4wdadventures.576 I do but won’t do us much good as we travel full time. Otherwise I would be looking hard for one.
Nice job Matt. I plan on having my front locker for the next Swan Gully trip so it'll be interesting to see if I'm able to get through the same obstacles a bit easier (hopefully without busting any tyres 😅)
are you doing front over rear? or are you doing both? Did you end up with damage other that the TPM Sensor?
Awesome video Mat really enjoyed it mate definitely looking forward to seeing some more content like this one soon 😊😊
glad you enjoyed Jeremy. I love doing these days and will take every opportunity to tag along and film it. You would love Swan gully
Wow looks like a fun road and that lookout is great.
It was an awesome road and such a huge surprise to me.
Wow they do look like original fitment.
Definitely. Last thing we wanted was that ugly bolt on or strap on type they look crap.
wow how good is that for service. I am looking at drones at the moment, guess I know what company to use now. great episode guys thanks.
They are unbeatable hey. I will just not look at any other brands now. When we can afford to upgrade the Air 2S it will definitely be another DJI.
Nice work Lisa you looked super comfortable in the drivers seat.
She sure was. Very quick learner and definitely not scared 😂🤣
Just did the Oombulgurri track (Carson River stock route) in the Kimberley...for the second time !! (sucker for punishment).I reckon the toughest 4WD track in Oz....and I have done the CSR (x 3), CREB etc. One of my mates was running these on his Ineos Grenadier, and I have to say, they performed flawlessly. I was very impressed.
Man I am so jealous the Oombulgurri Track is high on my bucket list and hope to get it done over the next few years. Keen to do the CSR but really want to do it towing which can’t do. Have done the Creb a few times and loved it. How was the Ineos?
@@filthyoffroadadventures Well, you have to know he had the entire family (incl 3 teenagers), with a lot of gear on the roof, and no room for even a cigarette paper in the back. I suspect he was a tad over his GVM. So, that's the background. Frankly, it was f***ing amazing.That transmission is a miracle, the motor was totally unworried (but a bit thirsty at 24l/100km.....my 200 did 18). It made a lifted, JMAXCed 79, all singing -all dancing build look clumsy. To watch it nail the Moons jump up south of the Forrest River, and cross the Durack (where the 79 threw a very beefy rear shock) was just amazing. For me , however, the onboard acreage for the driver in an Ineos is too small - I wont be swapping out of my 200.
Wow impressive. Personally feel the 70’s are over rated I’d take the 200 over them all day (can hear the crowds with pitch forks forming 😂). You sure have done some cool tracks great to see people out there really getting after it.
@@filthyoffroadadventures In the NW deserts, did the Old Gunbarrel, the Gary, the shot line across to the Eagle (I wrote and will be recording a song about that "The Shotline to Nowhere"), the Warri site, then overland from Kwirrikurra to Balgo (bloody interesting....and we needed specific TO permission to do that), swam in Lake Gregory (full as a tick), but Gregory NP was closed (rain damage)... All the tracks were heavily overgrown, and I have last a few pieces of my Bush Barriers. And will;l need to do a lot of buffing... And went through 7 tyres.... But as the adage goes : if you can't afford to pay, then don't play !! Agree entirely re 200 v 70s. My truck never missed a beat, crawled happily over everything, and was as comfortable as all getout. I started with a 60, then a couple of 80s, a couple of 100s and now this one - love 'em !! Now happily (?) back in Brizvegas.....altho I do prefer winter temps in the Kimberly !!
Wow that’s a great list of adventures super jealous. Yeah never good having to replace bit or tyres etc it’s sometimes the price we pay for an epic story. We head off on Friday for a 3 week adventure and Leisa just told me that the roads have just reopened after the rain. Fingers crossed there will be water in lake Ayre 🤞
Will have to check out this hip camp
Definitely worth checking out. Hope you enjoy your stay.
In September 2014 myself, my then 7 year old daughter and then 4 year old son travelled from Lyndhurst to Cameron Corner via Merty Merty Station in an 80 series Landcruiser towing a Jayco Swift pop top tourer. 436 kilometres of bone jarring teeth rattling corrugations. It was not funny. At times we were lucky to do 15 kmh.
Yeah they can be brutal at times. That would have been an amazing trip and we love a 80 series Cruiser.
Some great looking Jeeps... Nice place to off-road, been there a few times myself. Looks like it was a fun day. 👍
Yeah was a great day with like minded people. You need to get the XJ to one of the club trips.
Leisa looked very calm in the drivers seat
She did a great job as always. Getting more confident all the time.
Great messaging. Hope all is okay.
Agree we need this message to spread and thanks for the well wishes.
Thank you for sharing this! Anything we can do to raise awareness and normalise taking these tests can only be a good thing. Particularly encouraging men to take care of themselves and the fact is, this "sh*tty" test is quick n easy and might just save your life! Good on you for sharing and we wish you all the best! 🤠
Hi thanks for watching. I agree it’s all about spreading the word and making it not a “weird” topic to discuss. Thanks so much for the well wishes at this stage looking promising 🤞 By the way love your Ram. Are you guys going to be able to make it to Camp for a Cure next year?
@@filthyoffroadadventures thanks guys, well, who knows where we will be, possibly on the other side of the country then, but time will tell and we will certainly keep it in mind. 😊
Awesome. We will be starting our life on the road from the event. We figured what better way to start.
@@filthyoffroadadventures that's cool. We will need to go to the Sunshine coast at some stage towards the end of the year or early next year to get the bushtracker serviced and a check over, so who knows where we will end up 😉
Oh thanks for sharing Mat and Lisa really enjoyed it. You both are really making me think should I buy a Jimny or a Wrangler it’s a very hard decision lol . Lisa you definitely look great behind the wheel you should keep it up and do some more driving. Always looking forward to seeing you both on your next adventure 😊
Hard choice Jimny’s are such fun and with the right mods super capable. For me they are just too small but still very cool, can not go wrong with a Wrangler 👌
Wow looks like you guys had a great time well except for the drone. I’m sure Lisa would’ve been so happy.
Great Day. Sorry about the bump that caused your hand to slip that made the drone crash 😂
New controller and confined space had as much to do with it than anything else 😂
Holy crap. Glad to hear things look positive. Hope you get the all clear soon and say bugger it and head off sooner. Sending good vibes.
Looks like a great day and Lisa looked like she had fun.
Mate that must have been so scary getting the results but so glad to hear that everything look good now!! We really appreciate your support and can’t wait to see you at CFAC!
Yeah wasn’t expecting that. We will be there and will be working till bring as many people with us. We are keen to arrive early and stay for a day or two following so we can help you guys. Are we best to book through Goochie Creek too?
Great message Matt & thanks for sharing! I only wish it was a more positive outcome for others & very glad that they’ve decided to lower the age of sending out the bowel cancer testing kits to 45 👍
100% Rene it’s a heart breaking outcome for some. I did not read about the lowing of the age for the kit that is amazing and a great initiative. I just hope people take it. Hope all is well with you guys we are thinking of you.
Floored, just floored. Glad things are looking positive Mr T. “Pity the fool who doesn’t take the test”
Yeah kinda how I felt for a little bit too. I have just found out that if you are under 50 you can request a kit. You know what I am going to say now hey 🤔 Jump on the website and order it now 👌
Great video Matt. Thank you for your message. I received the kit a few weeks after I turned 50, and when I posted it in my feed I got shocked and impressed feedback from my mates and relatives in the US. I think I've received 3 testing kits now (I'm 57), and I don't hesitate to take them. A colleague at work just turned 50, and I told him to expect the kit. He laughed at first, then got serious when I told him how grateful we should be that we have amazing free healthcare in this country.
That’s amazing Dave. Having only lived in Aussie and NZ I had not thought about how lucky we are. So glad that you take them without hesitation which will give you confidence of catching anything early. Really appreciate your insight 👌
Time to take action Mr T. Make those small lifestyle changes now for a longer healthier life. Ain’t no way I’m heading to a retirement village without you.
Yep. First lifestyle change is get the Reconn and take off so I just get more time with you and the girls.
What an incredible episode filled with incredible videography and incredible people. I found it incredible that the drone fell in the only creek, but what was more incredible was the DJI replacement service. It’s incredible that I’ve managed to write such and incredible comment the day after my return from Bali. Incredible work!
Wow amazing we feel so proud that you took the time to contact us when I am sure you are tired and hungover 😂 Hope you had a great trip.
They just take on everything....and keep going ❤❤❤..no fuss at all what so ever
Agree 100%
I've just got them now running on my UTE,,,, just love them....and i do think that this tyres has to be my best TYRES ever.....'AAA'
Yep very hard to beat that’s for sure. What Ute are you running them on?
Any update on the Camper?
Bit of a waiting game at the moment. Production slot is December but we are hoping to do some filming with Lifestyle before then covering things like build process etc.
How and where do you peep in there?
Hi. You need to be self sufficient so need to take a toilet with you. We have both a chemical toilet and also a hot shower we use in a pop up ensuite tent.
Great camp area guys might have to include that one on our list ;)
We are thinking of heading back to use the camp as a base to enjoy the national parks in the area, without having to drive back home each night. ….cant wait to be traveling full time so we don’t have to return home.
Another great weekend away.
Such a great time even with no wheeling.
Love your hair lees
Thanks! I went to the hairdresser the night before before and she straightened it for me. I’m also putting grey foils through my hair. (Leisa) .
Matt is wondering why people don’t notice his hair. 🤣🤣
@@filthyoffroadadventures sorry Matt, you’re handsome too ❤️
😂🤣 I have not had a hair cut in about 7mths so maybe next year I will get comments on my flowing locks 😂😂 (Matt)
That big rock lookout looks like a great place to explore
Agree we should’ve spent more time there.
The dogs looked like they had fun in that creek.
They had such a good time. Ivy struggled a bit with the attention as she gets anxious but over all they had a ball.
What great rock formations / cave.
Yep places like that are my happy place 😊
On a special occasion 😉
😂🤣
Awesome video guys! We love this part of the country. Basket Swamp is so unexpected aye? We will definitely need to check out some of the lookouts 🙌
Thanks guys means a lot coming from you. Yep it was such a great weekend. Thinking of arranging it as a BJC club trip.
Coming from Hervey Bay, Roma is usually my first stop on a trip further out west. Last time I did the sale yard tour at the Roma stock yards. Very interesting but only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Heading out there next month again. Euromanga and Thargomindah.
Yeah have heard it’s a good tour. Have you been to Eromanga and Thargomindah? We did the tour at the Eromanga museum and it was worth every cent such a great facility.
@@filthyoffroadadventures No we haven't been out that way yet. Been out to Longreach, Winton and Windorah. This year I booked 2 nights at Cooper's Lodge which is part of the Eromanga Natural History Museum. $ 185,-- per night but should be worth it.
@carlbirett6123 you will love it such a great place and the staff are amazing.
Great video, buying some now, cheers
Awesome enjoy. I want to do an updated video as I have since used it multiple times when the car was literally covered from the roof down in mud and it was incredible. Would make a much more dramatic video 😂
Nice video! Is there anywhere to get a decent map of the area? The national park map is okay but doesn't label any more than the few main tracks.
We are looking at ways to supply tack mapping the future but in the meantime try the Newtracs app. It’s free and has trails on it for most areas including their difficulty. It doesn’t advise is open etc so still refer to the relevant website for latest road closures etc. good luck and have fun in there. Matt
And, if you wanna put your lippy on… Gotta get me a set pronto!
True you could definitely use the help last time I saw you it was all over the place and your teeth too.
Looks like a nice spot you were at
Was a great spot. We will have a video on it soon. 👌😉
Have you actually weighed it in full travel mode or just relying on what Jeep lists the kerb weight as and then adding the weight of the individual mods?
Hi David. At first we just did the factory spec and added planned accessories. We can’t do the van yet as it’s not build but we should have it by January 2025. We have since put Sarge over the scales as we worked on the final build specifications. It confirmed we need to watch every single gram and that we will definitely need to do a GVM upgrade. Hope to do a reveal video very soon of the now finished build. We are builds ever finished 😂
