DISASTER in Cape York 2021! Must watch for all 4wd owners! I broke down so many times

Never lose your honesty in storytelling, it sets you apart.

Hahahaha “a lot of these people will just drive tot he coffee shop and back and brag about how tough their 4wd are” the most truthful words ever said. When you use it for what’s it’s meant for, the wear and tear cost goes up. Doesn’t matter what make and model you got. Hope the bank account can have a rest now mate

100% respect for the honesty man! There’s a lot of viewers/followers on this channel that can appreciate the lessons you’ve learnt. Absolute legend!

I drive my truck to the coffee shop and back.... It still breaks down, it's a Ford Ranger 😂

Another great video , As a mechanic or many years there is a list of parts you should take on any large trip which would include all filters (Air ,fuel and oil) , Hose's and clamps , extra heater hose (usually 5/8) enough engine oil for a change if you swamp the engine , a wheel bearing kit , a cv joint ,gearbox and diff oil ,liquid steel ,radiator sealer , some wire (electrical and fence tie wire) ,metric nuts and bolts fine thread , rags and grease and some wd40 with a good set of hand tools . As for the filter location the aftermarket fuel filter is a pre filter as it is a more course filter element to remove larger particles before the finer factory filter. There is a lot of humidity in FNQ and the fuel supply can gain moisture from this , I would recommend changing a common rail fuel filter at least every 20,000km if not at every oil change as the fuel systems are very expensive and filters are cheap. Keep up the great video work Cheers

You are honest beyond reproach, nothing to be roasted for here. Good tips here, well done mate.

Every failure is just a lesson for the next trip and anyway you drove the car home still, plenty of cars don’t come back. The fact you are being honest and telling everyone what went wrong is awesome, most people would hide that or not want to talk about it , and the amount of 4wding your car has done since you bought it most peoples car wouldn’t do that in its lifetime. Thanks for sharing it gets everyone thinking about that stuff because doesn’t matter if your car is new or 20 years old still need to be prepared 👍👍. This cape york series will be a good one I reckon 👌👌🤠.

excited for the trip episodes mate

I can only imagine how stressful all those issues would be. But you’re out there doing it mate. What an adventure. Congrats. Much respect.

As stated previously in the comments Tyler, your honesty was the best part. Have learned quite a lot from this, things I wouldn't have thought about so thank you. Your not the first person to make mistakes or have bad luck and certainly won't be the last.

Learnt a lot from this! Reliability is so underrated on a trip because it's hard to enjoy the experience when you're constantly worried about making it home. Kudos to you for telling us all about it!

Good lesson learnt mate. I learnt the hard way and now always replace hoses,belts and wheel bearings whenever I am doing a big remote trip and keep old ones as spares

The red particles in the fuel and the water was sort of clear indicates either your fuel tank breather or the fill point is allowing water and dust ingress. Its a pretty common issue and normally takes a while before the symptons show. Fuel up the cape is fine this time of year as they sell so much, and they are on point with the bowser filter changes. You definitely should have the tank pulled out and checked/drained. If there is enough crap in the bottom to be going through the pump sock its going to constantly cause dramas until fully cleaned.

Dont stress Tyler, saw the maintenance that Rocket Rod did to his cruiser after the kimberley trip they just did amd it was pretty huge. All the wheel bearings were cactus, new front suspension, all sorts of stuff. Worth a watch. Reality is these rigs are abused when theyre used. Nothings bulletproof just some hold up better than others when theyre maintained right. Trips where lessons are learnt are never a bad thing.

Thank you for your honesty and sharing your experiences on what spares to take and maintenance done before you leave your drive way.

Fantastic stuff Tyler. Great to see you capturing the feelings / experiences almost every 4wdriver goes thru when things don't go as planned. Your honesty is hugely appreciated. You & your son made it back home safely with a bag of memories you will treasure forever.

Wow, bit of bad luck mate. Love your honesty though. Can't wait for the series.

Your integrity is your edge mate 👍your honesty and advice will help people like me when it's my turn one day! Looks like it will be a ripper watch!

Really appreciate your honesty and the sharing of your experience and lessons learned. Time for repair and back to the adventure again!!
