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!"

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

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
If ya not using it buy a prius .....

Wow, they must have some serious gvm upgrades done then!
Creative conversions , their work is very good , 2 mate's had wagons cut to duels a gu patrol and a 79 series wagon , I'm not sure but I think they can get them to about 4.5t
If ya not using it buy a prius .....
