Thx mate, it's a great drive! Definitely worth doing if you haven't done it in a while.

Hi Bobby, I did mention at the time you asked about order, prior to you ordering that I couldn't guarantee when I'd be able to ship as I was moving house. Actually a bit more too it than that, but that's life. I've just logged into my buymeacoffee page and refunded you. I trust the refund will be received in a timely fashion. While I expect to be able to ship pending sticker and patch orders over the break, between Christmas and New Year I certainly can't guarantee arrival before christmas. Thank you to everyone else who is still waiting for theirs.

Geehi is a great spot. Personally love finding new parts of the high country to explore!

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate the feedback. Yeah it was a sunny day so figured the shoes wouid dry pretty quick. They did.

Thanks Mate. Definitely different now. The guys from Endless 4x4 drove it recently and said it was chalk and cheese to what it was. Will take another 3-4 years of traffic to get challenging again.

Thx mate, yeah plenty of gems to find in the high country!

@@OffTheBeatenPathAus Yeah thats for sure. Glad I know someone that can show me around when I finally get down there lol

Sounds good mate this was a great trip! Some amazing spots we came across.

Thx Russell, glad you enjoyed it. Was a lot of fun taking the DOT to the high country.

Thx mate, was some new ones for me as well great pocket of the high country to explore!

Something like a patriot X series I think so. Wouldn't want anything too heavy. Thanks for watching!

wow ok thx for the heads up on Steiners Ln, one of the hard things navigating in the high country sometimes. Bummer you couldn't get round the fallen tree, we were lucky it was an easy drive.

Thx Mate, glad you enjoyed it. Thx for commenting

I use Memory Map on PC for my trip planning. Has the purchased HEMA map packs in it as well. This is what I make all the intro videos with.

@@OffTheBeatenPathAus nice one, what are you using on the track?

Sounds great Colin, they're well worth the drive. Not advertised as much as Billy Goat and Blue Rag but just as iconic in my opinion! Enjoy.

Sounds like an epic wedding! Couldn't help myself, with not a lot of tracks to explore had to drive the one main one just to check it out! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Great idea, probably only an hour or so from Murtoa, worth the drive IMHO. Should be less busy than when i was there at easter too!!!

Thx it's an epic spot to visit. A shame it's looking like getting closed to climbers which will have a huge impact on Natimuk and even Horsham to a lesser extent. Quite the landmark out that way.

​5:22​@@OffTheBeatenPathAuswe are loosing access to spots all over Australia on a regular basis. All in the name of Culture issues.

Thx for the heads up. Valid point on diagnosis. The install though was in the trailer when I bought it. Probably done for a previous owner.

Yeah simple is good. I enjoy the simple VSR dual battery setup in the 76.

@OffTheBeatenPathAus I get ots nice being able to easily check levels and stuff but the more you add in the more can go wrong sadly. I do think a Multimeter should have shown where the fault there was though but if you are not confident working with electrical it's best to stay away.

Possibly, multimeter like so many other things packed for the move at this time (still haven't found it)

@OffTheBeatenPathAus always the way lol. I need to buy myself another one so I can keep one in the car. I have a good one at home but nothing for the car so I need one I think.

Does seem to be pretty common. Was extra annoying given I'd just recently had it looked it.

Yeah right before a planned trip which was frustrating. Also only recently had had it looked it.

Hey mate, I really should do a video discussing that. In sort, on road - not really a comparison - the Paj was super comfortable and easy to drive being a modern quiet auto. Off road, both capable but I'd give the edge to the 76, primarily due to clearance with the body on chassis solid axle design. I don't have a lift in the 76 but running larger tyres (slightly) than I had on the paj. Also with the gearing on the steep stuff the 76 is way ahead (particularly on descents). In a perfect world if money was no object, I'd keep the Paj for a daily and use the 76 offroad only....

About 150L generally, that said my distance calcs are pretty rough as the larger tyre size makes the odo inaccurate....

@@OffTheBeatenPathAus verify your trip meter with GPS or an speedo / trip meter app mate. The 1” larger tyres shouldn’t have thrown your meter out too much at all. 100mm lower clearance to gain 76Litres of diesel isn’t too bad. Dash gauge is now barely even a guide hahah Safest way I’ve found is: always fill to the brim at the servo. Then fill up and 3/4. Next tank do 1/2, then next tank 1/4. And note the actual litres filled at those increments, much easier to manage your fuel/range this way! Keep up the mods Jase 👌

Surprising how much, over a long distance tyre size changes things. Even in the Paj when we did the Variety trip we had trip notes telling us to turn a direction in x number of kilometers and we'd be out by 2-5km often times. Yeah generally fill all the way up. Just about got dialled the gauge and how that relates to the tank.

Have to agree... been very happy with this, had it a bit over a year now and still looks great. Worth it IMHO. Love that you can sit hot things straight on it.

Thx mate, epic part of the high country

Very true and one of my favourite mods to the vehicle so far. Particularly that due to the longranger design I didn't lose any departure angle...

Bobby, yes I hope to get them out before christmas. As i mentioned when you ordered, I've just moved and they were packed and I haven't found them yet. Sorry for the delay happy to refund.

Would depend on the size. The road is pretty twisty with tight corners. I wouldn't recommend a large van.

They can definitely be picky with power source. In my case running of hard wired USB ports that were put in by my auto elec for the purpose. Makes no difference which one I run it off. Same intermittent problems....

I guess I was lucky. Now waiting for the latest fix from Hema to rectify the last update stuff up!!! Supposed to be ready within the next 10 days.

Thx for the heads up!

Thanks, the guys at Offline build a great van.

It's a little while since I last did Blue Rag now, over 12 months, I have heard it's getting a little chewed out but you should be fine just choose your line on the couple of sections where there are wombat holes. Also being a 2023, probably has decent traction control anyway? So less of an issue. It's not really a track you need high clearance for. Enjoy

It never ends, so much to see in the high country, so many places to explore.

Thx mate, cracking spot to visit if you're in the area!

Could be a few radio waves up there for sure :-)

Definitely would have changed a bit since the 80's for sure. It was a lot smoother than the last time I did it and that was only 3-4yrs ago...

Thx matecits worth it great spot to visit with epic views on clear days

Wow that's a long time between visits! Definitely worth the drive and it's pretty easy at the moment with the main track in good condition. Glad you enjoyed it thx!

Mick did you get back to see the Dartmouth over flow the other year ?

@aguyandhistroopy no I've got to get a bit more financial. 👍🐕🤠

@ well you my in luck, I have video on it !! 🤦🏽🤣 ruclips.net/video/V6NuV22fkjg/видео.htmlsi=tGJO8AYC27GxkdBw

@ well you my in luck, I have video on it !! 🤦🏽🤣 ruclips.net/video/V6NuV22fkjg/видео.htmlsi=tGJO8AYC27GxkdBw7

Was a cracking drive.... nice steady climb kept you paying attention.

@@OffTheBeatenPathAus Yeah it would for sure. I think you hit a couple of those bumps a bit quick personally but still nice & easy.

Thx mate, glad you enjoyed it, thanks for subbing and commenting!

Thx Dave, glad you enjoyed it, thanks for letting me know!

thx mate glad you enjoyed it!

A prado with a 2" lift will go just about anywhere. They're more capable than many give them credit for. Definitely the tracks in this video very doable!

Thx Russell, much appreciated! McMillan Spur was a great find, fun drive without the risk of breaking things on the car :-)

Good question. Currently run the Hema HX2 and ran the HX1 before that. However have had issues with both devices. In the midst of moving right now to an android tablet running Memory Map, which is the app I use on my PC to plan trips and record the intro to most of my videos.

Hey Bobby Thanks! Certainly would have been. Hoping to find the stickers/patches this weekend and get them off to you and a couple of others who have been waiting!

@@OffTheBeatenPathAus Ok thanks mate. Cheers.

No Worries!

Yeah we got that vibe as well.... We didn't interrupt them for long but I guess they thought they had the space completely to themselves then these two vehicles drive up from the river.....
