No pressure at all eh , that was a few months ago now I think.
Those two don't exactly follow Tread lightly protocol.
Great viewing IMO great show

Well what a story.
That is how easy it turns to shoit..
MR they are showing that episode now on channel 72
Exciting footage.............. but they really are a couple of cowboys. Still, a good account of how not to do things.
As he said "one simple mistake we almost lost 2 cars". He really should have said "one simple stupid mistake and we almost lost someones life and 2 cars. We were just being cowboys and stupid!"
Classic example of Toyota Syndrome
Awesome,
There out there haven a go & living the dream,
We'll done guys.
They had been across that section all day but missed the footage on the return trip.
Yeah two Aussie drongo's having a go.
Did you hear the bit where the younger guy said "if you have any weight on don't use the towball"
to me that meant it was OK to use for light recoveries, wrong, wrong, wrong, NEVER USE THE TOW BALL EVER
Yeah how dare someone use a tow ball for a light tow recovery.Quote:

Agree totally when the shite has hit the fan and your back is against the wall do what you have to do.
Great show, love watching these guys. I think it was just bad luck piling up for them on that trip.
Im surprised it's the first rollover though. They do carry a lot of weight up high with the tinnies etc.
They said on this episode Simon's truck and trailer weigh 6 tonnes. Must be bloody close to it's limits, I believe the GVM on the 79 Series is 3300kg
On their web site it says the 200 is 4.2t and the 79 3.8t. Plus the trailer, good on them I like the show it's not all comp trucks and mud racing
Wow, they must have some serious gvm upgrades done then!Quote:

Tuff job eh eating muddies , river crossing camping out under the stars, yeah life is tuff
I dont really think much of the show..... I am interested in where they go but I think they give the 4wding world a bad name....
All personal opinion..
Scotty
Yeah can see how you see that, but they do go to some very remote places.
Otherwise it would be a celebrity driving an AWD as they would get most places in that.
One thing for sure that 4door troopy thing has plenty of mumbo
I've never seen it before is it on foxtel??
Nope free to air
What Chanel mate?
Chanel ONE I think.
I scored 2 slabs out of this show. Me and a mate had a bet how they'll get out of the shit they're in and I pretty much got it spot on. His idea was they're gonna use a camera car to recover, but camera car does not exist.
channel 73 here
My bad 72 here
Channel 7Two its on.
that was absolutely pathetic, would have been so easy to run winch line and extension strap to the bogged car, back the recovery vehicle up and use a couple of straps to attach him to the tree to overcome the brakes not holding issue, and just winch him out, while winching, dig and max trax relocationing would have been out without all the fuckking around
If my bloody speakers worked on my phone I could watch it!!!!

If there's no drama it wont stand out from the crowd therefore doesn't sell, it seems they had their fair share of drama.
One of the blokes did say how stupid it was, got to give him credit for that.
These blokes are OK because they keep the fish they catch so the must be fair dinkum.
It's better than most of the other crap that's on all those channels on the TV.
You can watch it without sound, you just wont here it.Quote:

I also agree with the above, back up the recovery vehicle to the winch tree and tie it on from the back then Winch out. Easy recovery really. Double line pull and all over in 10minutes. No time lapse required.
I also agree they go to some really remote places and I'd love their job!!

No matter your experience, if you are going to go b@lls to the wall, sooner or later you are going to have a mishap. All you can hope for is that the mishap is a minor one and that you have the experience and training to prevent it from getting worse.
