THREE LEGGED GU PATROL? - Roothy

https://roothy.com.au WINCHING WEEKEND in NSW - Roothy Some weekends are tougher than others - on men and machines! Check out this wil weekend we spent up in the back hills of mid NSW coast. It was an incredible test for everything off-road - and great blokes to do it with too. Yep, Glenno and Jamie back in the early days when I'd get lucky enough to have them along. Watch the LandRover in action - awesome, amazing what they can do. And this GU despite busting a CV - something that can happen to anything with a front locker and a big job - was incredible off road. Kev Smith makes an appearance - and somewhere out there is a Patrol with a missing CV....

4WD BEACH PREP - MILO2 REFRESH, Roothy

https://roothy.com.au 4WD BEACH PREP - MILO2 REFRESH, Roothy What to do before taking your 4wd beach? Maybe what to do once a year or so just to preserve an old vehicle? Maybe there's lessons here for new vehicles too? Having made a living out of getting stuck on beaches and in mudholes, crawling through snow slush and sucking up desert dust, Roothy has worked out a few techniques for keeping the corrosion out and letting the vehicle last as long as it possibly can. The original Milo retired with over 1 million kms on the original body and chassis/ For the first 200K it was the local scout vehicle, driven on the local beaches and through SEQ bush. Then the rest was done all over Australia. Thirty six years of rough tracks, water crossings, tidal creeks and rocky hills, but when she was retired it wasn't rust damager - although there was plenty - it was metal fatigue that got to everything. Thank you Lanotec Lanolin! The Vikings couldn't have scared the world without you!

4WD BUILDS - WHAT YOU NEED - Roothy

https://roothy.com.au Wow, isn't this one close to the heart, the old 4WD Build - What You Need argument. In this old custom truck clip from about ten years ago we took a close look at Jason's 2009 Nissan Navara dual cab. Now he wanted a competent vehicle that'd take him and the family wherever they wanted to go, safely and comfortably. So he built the truck up using some off the shelf stuff and some pure custom stuff too. While your choice of brands has changed and the products themselves, the common sense behind Jason's decisions never has. If, like me, you're planning a common sense outback tourer that'll do it all, then this clip is a must see.

COFFS HARBOR V8 THUNDER - Roothy

https://roothy.com.au COFFS HARBOR V8 THUNDER - Roothy and Big Red Coffs Harbor, and we met another ‘slap in the face’ situation on this trip, one I’d been seeing more and more often around the tougher four wheel driving corners of our country. Yep, that’s the tyre size line. One particular hill was an incredible gauge for this as you’ll see on the show. Although not incredibly steep or even that difficult, the ground had been softened and because there wasn’t any room on either side of it, the first few vehicles up there pushing bigger tyres had shaped the track to suit. So Red, with her 31” Mickey Thompsons, bagged out on the diffs about thirty metres into it. A Prado, with 33” tyres but a lower belly pan, went a bit further before sitting on a lump with tyres spinning. Along come two trucks with 35” tyres and romper stomper, they drove that hill as easily as the driveway at Government House. Yep, anyone who says ‘size doesn’t matter’ must be talking about beer bellies and not tyre size! Around Coffs it’s often the maker or breaker. Why is that? It seems to me it’s the areas where there’s plenty of active and motivated four wheelers that seem to suffer from the tyre size line first. I guess that’s because as one bloke goes up a size, his mates see the advantage and go up a size or two too. Pretty soon if you want to go driving with the pack you’ve got to have 35” tyres or bigger to have a chance of following anywhere except at the end of a snatch strap. And once a track’s copped a few 35”s, you need that or bigger to make traction. Because you ain't gonna understand the signs around the back of Coffs so you might as well drive out! It’s a little known fact that Coffs Harbour is the result of a spelling mistake in a government bulletin. Back in 1847 Captain John Korff put his ship ‘Brothers’ in to shelter off the southern headland of Coffs for four days as storms ripped across the ocean. He was pretty impressed by the safe harbour he’d found and the area soon became known as ‘Korff’s Harbour’. Then, in 1861, a spello in a gazettal notice saw the area christened Coffs Harbour once and for all. That’s not that exciting but it gives a glimpse into this region’s history that’s essential for understanding the four wheel driving around there. Storms, Mother Nature at her rawest and a sense of confused identity for the few pioneers in the area for the first hundred or so years of white history. Welcome to some of the wildest country on earth, just up the back of beach holiday central and the rest of Australia's population. You got 4wd, or you've missed out.
