great to see indian head again was there 3 years ago fairplay for towing through the sand, we were on one of the island tour buses it got bogged down during a high tide nearly caught fire and turned over when the sea came in around it. hope the bull sharks stayed away and the fishing was good.
Nice vid. Just to add to the argument about softroader they go well but like anything have their limitations. I will admit I have a modified Subaru Forester for my offroading and it does well but yeah has its limitations. It does have low range, more clearance than a Hilux but only open diffs. Light weight is an advantage too but I don't want a big 4x4. If I were towing a boat then I would get a turbo diesel car but I like having the onroad comfort of a car with offroad ability.
Would it not be easier to put the boat in on the mainland and make the 10 minute crossing to Fraser by boat? Looks like a boat and 4x4 show with the dude with the biggest combo winning the biggest wanker on Fraser award..
THANK YOU!!! Fraser Island, the best camping / fishing / family holiday ever. When I'm stuck at work on a bad day your Fraser videos make me think of the great times I've experienced at Orchid Beach and and I can't wait to get back again.
I gotta admit...thats pretty hardcore!!! Anyone can wheel w/the right tools...it takes a real badass to play in the sand w/a boat attached. Awesome video!
Every car you listed after, "so what's wrong with..." ARE crap. I mean a terracan. You have gotta be fucking kidding me mate. Go down to your local Toyota Dealership and have a squiz through a Toyota catalog.
@Gtaking78 Hey, I personall think the Prado TD's are a very reliable and off road capable. The Prado has heaps of articulation at the rear end which helps tremedously off road but independent front suspension has limited travel. As for fuel economy since it is a TD it is better than the petrol and will give you good economy as long as you don't constantly give it a bootful. Because prado's are so popular there are plenty of cheap aftermarket acessories to make it as capable as you want.
@andyoopoo I think im gonna buy a 2001 lift it and put spot lights on it biger tyers winch bull bar all arb. gonna be around $20,000 thats the only bad thing. gonna take some saveing
@Gtaking78 Yea sounds goods, just watch it when the front suspension flexes it can sometimes make cracking noise its apparantly normal. And just check to make sure it went back in to get the factory recall.
@andyoopoo You have no idea do you, I own an xtrail and hve gone through every part of fraser without getting stuck. Yeah they arnt the biggest 4wd nor are they the best but horses for courses mate.
@blacls Clearly you have no idea. Xtrail = no articulation, no low range, no ground clearance. The only thing an Xtrail has going for it is its lightweight, but even that cannot stop it dragging its guts. Also when you lock the centre diff (which is only a fake centre diff lock) they overheat if you drive with it engaged for to long.
@andyoopoo Get of your high horse ego, Ground Clearence can be fixed easily, old man emu lift kit built especially for xtrail no probs. The diff lock doesnt overheat mine never has nor has anyone's I have known.
Keep ya big 4wds pay your big bucks and stroke your cock and no doubt your wanker wagon will spend more time in the Woolworths parking lot instead of the beach. Don't knock the people having fun in the smaller 4WD's
@blacls I am not on my high horse, I am just stating facts that Xtrails suck off road. They are in a completely different league of off road abiltiy than anything that has low range. Even the suzuki grand vitara dominates the xtrail off road. Learn you facts about soft roaders before commenting on youtube. There is a reason why Xtrails and Rav4s and foresters are called soft roaders, because they are soft.
@andyoopoo Well mate they might be soft but I have never had to turn around and I have done Fraser, Moreton, Rainbow Beach and tow a 4.2 tinnie so maybe they are only suck when drivers like you drive them.
@blacls I have never been bogged in one, it is just they have to work alot harder than a proper four wheel drive does. There is less control because you are constantly having to give it the loud boot. As soon as a wheel comes off the ground which easily happens nearly all momentum lost. They are adequate in some sand, but in deep rutted soft powdery sand they struggle. I have seen numerous bogged in Indian head and also Ngkala rocks where low range is a must.
great to see indian head again was there 3 years ago fairplay for towing through the sand, we were on one of the island tour buses it got bogged down during a high tide nearly caught fire and turned over when the sea came in around it. hope the bull sharks stayed away and the fishing was good.
