Have you seen the aircraft firing lasers and fireworks to derude Sanstrom??? Its even more Australian ruclips.net/video/n1GEr8w5EAo/видео.htmlsi=2AKRf2hKgdao2nt7 The most insane thing Ive ever seen and its at a public airshow
My favourite quote "My ex-mother-in-law is way scary than any crocodile or shark that I have seen.." Love it along with the typical Landcuiser handbrake rock.
2 brothers who ran the Ampol petrol station at Warners Bay NSW in 90,s drove a Nissan Patrol across the bottom of Lake Macquarie from Marmong point to Warners bay. The Patrol sat out the front of the petrol station on display while being built. It was a petrol engine and had a floating pontoon on the surface with snorkels going down for air intake and exhaust. It packed it in half way across and was towed to shore by a barge.
Just heard about this on the Bob & Tom show today here in the States and this is awesome! As one of the guys on the show said, probably the first time in history a sea urchin could become roadkill 😂
Amazing! first thought that came to mind when the guy mentioned they did extensive testing at 100 PSI, first thought was... they were better prepared than that one submarine a couple months ago~
This is awesome! I didn't know if they could actually do this or not? I was worried but thought that it's possible? Good on them and all the people that have supported this achievement👍
Well done fellas and everyone involved! Mate this is legendary and will put Australia on the map for many years to come! Looking forward to what comes next. YEEWWWW 🍻🥃🥃🥃🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👍😎
Bloody legends, great work by all involved and the boys behind the wheel. My grandad attempted to drive a Volkswagen under water in WA back in the late 60s-70s but came to the same fault as the old og cruiser
As soon as I saw tires, despite them. I thought silty bottom. Any reason why not to do tracks? Bunch of R&D out there to have a track setup work. It's only crawling anyways.
FROM DOZA @BIKERS SUPPORTING COUNTRY TOWNS Pittsworth QLD THANK Q on a wonderful effort N teamwork to witness as a Australian world record.. So Many Years happiness and laughter on a magnificent journey. thank you for the wonderful memories. THANK YOU 👍💙🙏
Mate I'm from New Zealand over the ditch, all I can say is get a bunch of Australians (good buggers), a random idea, a few beers and a BBQ and boom. The human spirit is one of the few forces that can't be measured and Australians have amazing spirit. See you at the World Cup may the best team win and the others continue the dream of one day, hopefully ours isn't a nightmare????? By the way I had shark for lunch.
Maybe filling the tyres with a soft gel with a low pressure rather than water would give you more tread, just as low air pressure on dry sand give a larger tread pattern. You could simulate that with gel and just weigh down the car with lead weights if needed.
Gel is more dense than water, and provides more rolling resistance. Filling them with water while underwater is similar to filling with air while in air.
you guys need to add electric to the title before mudcrab, I didn't realise it was electric till quarter way through the video till you guys told us, throw it in the tags too! You'll pull even more attention ;) This thing is fuckin sick boys!
i may not have a Landcruiser but im happy with my lifted awd chevy express 1500 got it setup with a snorkel and a tank so it can go under running for a decent while but it is airtight so needs it ballast or it floats sadly i gotta fix it because some doughnut rear ended it but otherwise i think yours is the better option for crossing like that i bet the pressure would crush my van in and i would need a exhaust hose because at about 24 ft deep cant get the exhaust out but thats for a future revision
Bloody amazing!!! Now I wonder who, where, when will someone attempt to do better elsewhere in the world??? Or maybe attempt to do the same but quicker, lol.
I love this!! So australian, and also like, guys!! A freaking EV drove underwater through a harbour for 7km completely submerged! If that doesnt prove that theres a future in EV's then i dont know what else will!
Upon reading about this crossing on a N.T Newspaper I was worried about live WW2 bombs that could still be in the bottom of the harbour, but apart from that, you guys have done great, way to go mates and thanks for the vid👍😁🇦🇺
Well It´s an open goal. If they had failed. They´l be the true Darwin-award winners for ever. Now car managed, driving/floating the whole distance. Still I´d say James Bond had the "Moore" sophisticated solution. But, you did it for real, Well done, 30 divers, you did it. Now you got the ultimate rain-proof (Japanese) Jeep.
YOu guys are F awesome man! I got to hand it to you Australians you dont F around when it comes to building some serious machines. Plus and FJ I mean it does not get better then that. It might be a good idea to pair up with Tesla and create a new submersible product
Try customizing the Jeep with giant outboard rubber-tire-less huge diameter pole spoked wheels with paddles for traction similar to hill climb spikes. I don't think that would be cheating.
12 hours = how stubbies? How did you keep the beer from getting warm? Was it hard to light a smoke? Did your meat pies get too salty? Was it done purely with electric or was the ex mother in pushing as well?
This one of the most Australian things I have ever seen 😬
It is one of the most Darwin (or North Territory) I seen reported.
This year.
Hold my beer and watch this eh?
The fun thing is that this is just the start. The next one will be across from Long Beach to Catalina.

I had to rewind 3 times to hear that properly.
Mother-in-laws are a whole different species from the rest. Very scary indeed.

*on the phone with insurance*
“What do you mean my tires aren’t protected from sea urchins!?!!”
@@F7skillzSir, we have determined that a fish put that urchin in front of your path. It was an act of cod, which we don't cover.
Amazing! first thought that came to mind when the guy mentioned they did extensive testing at 100 PSI, first thought was... they were better prepared than that one submarine a couple months ago~
This takes "Down Under" to an other level entirely. Cheers!

Awesome guys. That was my first cruiser. On number five now. They are great 4wd. Love what you did.
Does it get any cooler than this? So awesome! The fella from the recovery channel with Christopher is a legend.
Luke is a legend!
Brilliant feat, and a fantastic result. Well done. 👏👏
Great effort boy's no one better to get the job done than your team 👍
As soon as I saw tires, despite them. I thought silty bottom. Any reason why not to do tracks? Bunch of R&D out there to have a track setup work. It's only crawling anyways.
I was in Darwin when they first tried it. That's Darwinian people for you! 😁👍👍
Mad lads, comgratulations!
Only in Australia, onya guys, congrats on the win🍺🍺 👍
While you're down there can you go pick up mh370 and there is carbon fiber sub in pieces too
Well done to all people indirectly and of course directly involved in making this mud crab make it across
wow ! unreal watching them drive underwater !
You guys are nuts 👍👋
Awesome,you all did a great job
Go the boys 🎉only in Australia 🇦🇺🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻👌
You little bloody ripper.💪
I know the next history breaking record for the mudcrab🤯to cross Cahill's crossing at high tide🐊🐊🐊🚙🐊🐊🐊

THANK Q on a wonderful effort N teamwork to witness as a Australian world record.. So Many Years happiness and laughter on a magnificent journey. thank you for the wonderful memories.
THANK YOU 👍💙🙏
There is more Research and Development in this Landcruiser than the Titan Sub.
This is very could be useful technology.Thank you.
Best thing ever new all the crew n boys could do it☝️☝️☝️. Cant make this shit up

11:36 “about to go down in the Top End…and not in a good way”
😂. I see what you did there😜
Well done everyone. 😁👍
Congrats, what a thing to do.

great coverage rich! top video should do well
Awsome effort guys
Its great ! I love it ! , but why did (do) you need a wind screen (wind shield) , so underwater bugs don't fly into your face ?
Amazing experiment world record 👏
Top stuff, just as good as the beer can regatta
That is absolutely shit hot, credit to everyone involved
Well done everyone, thanks Richard. Seeya Rob
mid 80s in lake Macquarie they drove a 4x4 under water from booragul to Warner's bay
you guys need to add electric to the title before mudcrab, I didn't realise it was electric till quarter way through the video till you guys told us, throw it in the tags too!
You'll pull even more attention ;)

What a great story. They saw, they weighed it up and they conquered. Only mad buggers in the NT would think of it. Well done !
Loved the hand break joke. They all ways fail on the Land Cruiser
Fantastic Aussie's
Ripper video Rich 👌
Big shout out to the guy who potted the electical boards and batteries😂
that's badass
Good effort but should of been a diesel powered cruiser now that’s real Aussie challenge 😁
I remember seeing a guy ride an electric dirt bike fully submerged across a river, even so this was amazing!
Bloody amazing!!! Now I wonder who, where, when will someone attempt to do better elsewhere in the world??? Or maybe attempt to do the same but quicker, lol.
NOW that the crossing has been done . There has to be a race . THEN we can BET on it..That's the Australian way..
Wow Amazing Car Toyota
I love this!! So australian, and also like, guys!! A freaking EV drove underwater through a harbour for 7km completely submerged! If that doesnt prove that theres a future in EV's then i dont know what else will!
who needs a snorkel when you got yourself a cruiser :D
YOU GUYS ARE CRAZY BUT THAT'S WHAT AUSSIES DO FOR A LAUGH🤣🤣🤣👍👏
Bloody unreal.
awesome
Upon reading about this crossing on a N.T Newspaper I was worried about live WW2 bombs that could still be in the bottom of the harbour, but apart from that, you guys have done great, way to go mates and thanks for the vid👍😁🇦🇺
Cool Ep
Need to take it in some clear water, take some fishing rods with floats. And catch fish with a rod underwater XD would make for some great footage XD
My house mate Courtenay was apart of the dive team suxh a feat of engineering
OceanTec sounds much more professional than OceanGate
so they floated a car across on the bottom an stopped made clips ?
Nice one 👍 I know you are watching this in the middle of the night 🌙, go to bed 😅
When terminator reaches the other end to finish finding John Connor😂
This is how you win Top Gears Toyboata challenge. Make a U-boat.
Hope the windscreen wipers work
The stralian Jeep looks funny.
this will 100% get millions of views
149 K after a week.
16:38 Oh its ocean tec... For a while i thought its a oceangate😅
Not an Army Jeep but a Marine Jeep!
What batteries did u use
“The bog-deepinest deep bogger to ever bog deep.”
What it feels like to drive on the moon 🌝 😄😆
The "Electric vehicles and salt water don't mix "brigade are very quiet.
4:00 (splat) ! Are the tyres filled with liquid ?
Yes,water..
Filling the tyres with water was a big mistake. Air would have made it less likely to bog down.
My only problem is the camera work. This video was cool but the camera work was bad. Needed cameras mounted and a few divers filming.
Well It´s an open goal. If they had failed. They´l be the true Darwin-award winners for ever. Now car managed, driving/floating the whole distance. Still I´d say James Bond had the "Moore" sophisticated solution. But, you did it for real, Well done, 30 divers, you did it. Now you got the ultimate rain-proof (Japanese) Jeep.
what's the point?
Toyota. Let's go places 🤘
So Australian 😆 How'd they catch the barra?
YOu guys are F awesome man! I got to hand it to you Australians you dont F around when it comes to building some serious machines. Plus and FJ I mean it does not get better then that. It might be a good idea to pair up with Tesla and create a new submersible product
You could do it with a ice motor just need to get air in and out
ah Darwin - how fitting
great work, amazing
Trying to get a Darwin Award in Darwin
Is this where Darwin Awards started?
Good ol Aussie Landcruisers, you'll find them everywhere, even at the bottom of the harbour eluding ex motherinlaws.
Thats gonna be the rustiest landcruiser in Australia
😂😂 No more than any other FJ out there 😉
Hahaha fuck yeah
Australia has officially reached peak bogan 🤣

Australians are just out of this world
12 hours = how stubbies? How did you keep the beer from getting warm? Was it hard to light a smoke? Did your meat pies get too salty? Was it done purely with electric or was the ex mother in pushing as well?
What the actual…
I wish my jeep could do this😂🇺🇸
Australians and their cute lil gov suggested matching unis lmao
