From the start Nav took the word outta my mouth, this is real trucking and real camping, all these 2-500k vehicles with all the shit to me is just ruining the whole experience, less is more, more fun, more challenge and esp if ya a young dude, no pressure from big debt, damage concerns etc, get out and explore and enjoy, its not how much ya have it is how much ya do, less is more, back to basics as the bush gods intended.. Tip for the tip, if ya going to open tracks or be first, as well as ya fancy new shovels, take a MATTOCK or some call a GRUBER no not Nav. Gruber not Guber! This will eat banks, roots and slice like a hot knife through butter and cut ya digging time in half at least.. the head comes off for easy stashing as well, pick one up from Bunnings, cheap and best ground tool ya will ever have in ya kit bag, TRUST me.. Epic boys, ya fricken legends, best series ever on Explore and on the Tube in 2026 hands down🤘
Absolutely loving this series, every day Aussie cars doing what Aussies love. Showing that you don't have to spend 300k on a set up to get out and enjoy what Australia has to offer ❤
Who's else has fallen more in love with the ole hiluxs after this series. What absolute mud monsters
I’m a farmers daughter so I had to go and buy some shirts and the day membership. Thanks for helping Australian farmers 🎉
Awesome 👍👍
The GOAT is sensational
Yeah, ya can’t flip there mate
Love the scratches, dents, sand on the floor and dog hair in the back. Every one of them is a story of our adventures (and misadventures)🤠👍🐕
Absolute ripper of a vid and of course she starts right up
