Love your honesty on costs. And real life affordability. I follow a shit tonne of youtube peeps. And no one ever explains the cost.. as a hard working tradesman. I really appreciate your explaining the cost. As its my biggest concern traveling AUS.. FYI subscribed
Love the honesty about bringing too much, it's so easy to overload for no reason. First time I went I brought way more than I needed and it just took up room and bounced around. Such a great trip though!
I always wondered what the rough figure for a trip to the Cape would cost. Now I know. Thanks for the video mate, really helpful. Maybe one day when I have saved enough money and convinced a couple of my mates to go along, I will be there. I haven't got big enough balls to do that trip alone.
Appreciate the vid mate.. Will definitely be doing this trip in 07 Rodeo diesel pulling 13 ft van from Sydney straight to the Cape.. Standard rims ,toyo open country 255,s. Standard suspension.. Might take your advise and put better shocks in...
Good video 👍 just an add on for those who haven’t done the cape, place your vehical up on ramps prior to leaving & tighten every bolt you can reach ! Do the same at the tip, prior to return travel, you will thank yourself for doing it ,! 👍😎 another tip ok & a good one,clean all door rubbers, and before deep water crossings smear lightly on your seals, Dubbin, as you don’t want to use grease as you may forget about removing it and will cause the rubber to perish, never use an alcohol based products, believe me ! It works great 😎👍
Thanks for the Video, I'd love to do the trip up sometime in the future. With The Old Teletrack is their roads around the deep water crossings and Shot Gun?
Great video mate! Actually given me a huge kick of inspiration! Was starting to think it was going to be out of reach for a few years. From Mornington myself haha! Must make this happen this year, Can't wait!
Hello i would like some info please do you have diff and gearbox breathers. snorkel do you think it's woreth spending the money on a winch i have a std 2014 hilux dual cab. than you i found it very useful we're supposed to be going next september
ted bower hi there ted, if you’re traveling just up the development to the tip, you can probably get away without those items, if you’re going to be doing some exploring and doing the old telegraph track, I would definitely recommend breathers and a snorkel as some of the crossings were very deep with water depth well over the bonnet, as far as a winch I only used it once at palm creek crossing on the old telegraph track , which can be bypassed or if you’re going with mates with a winch you’ll be fine cheers and enjoy 👍
PROCHECK Automotive g’day mate cheers, all my group had diesel and there was no problem with availability, I only saw 1 petrol gu patrol which had about 8 jerry cans on the roof, you may have to just check the availability for petrol 👍
4x4 Touring Views & Reviews only 8 hahaha, yeah I am trying to look at what the availability of petrol is like. I’ve got an old V6 Hilux. Might have to convince the wife we need a new car haha
Chainsawversustree the longest distance is around 200-250kms roughly from what we read, my mate had a range of around 400km in his troopy and never had an issue, me and my other mate both had long range tanks so never really paid attention, but both carried a jerry incase, and a lot were diesel only👍
GJWalker Walker not at all, we went in June before the school holidays, we had most campsites to ourselves or just a few people, the only place we booked was for punsand bay as it can get busy, for the rest of the trip we just rocked up anywhere and there was always a spot cheers
I have a 2016 GXL Prado with 84k, running on BFG K2,s, UHF, dual battery and no other no mods. Do you think it is good to make the trip following your route? Cheers
Absolutely you can , probably suspension upgrade sure would help with the corrugations, but if sticking to the main routes, you will be fine. We passed people in Hyundai excels and subaru wagons, just take your time and enjoy 👍
A VERY realistic report,however you failed to comment on a very important cost factor. Booze!! Or maybe you are wise enough not to partake in one of Gods greatest gifts.

PROCHECK Automotive g’day mate cheers, all my group had diesel and there was no problem with availability, I only saw 1 petrol gu patrol which had about 8 jerry cans on the roof, you may have to just check the availability for petrol 👍

PROCHECK Automotive seems like a good enough excuse to me, but you’ll be fine in a petrol ⛽️ just enjoy the trip
Really helpful thanks mate

Bm Images cheers mate
What's is the longest distance between fuel stations ?
Chainsawversustree the longest distance is around 200-250kms roughly from what we read, my mate had a range of around 400km in his troopy and never had an issue, me and my other mate both had long range tanks so never really paid attention, but both carried a jerry incase, and a lot were diesel only👍
Ahh, no issues then Im going up on abike so should be fine, tahnks.
Very nice , would love to do it on the bike enjoy your time👍
Did you find it hard to find decent camp sites that weren’t over crowded?
GJWalker Walker not at all, we went in June before the school holidays, we had most campsites to ourselves or just a few people, the only place we booked was for punsand bay as it can get busy, for the rest of the trip we just rocked up anywhere and there was always a spot cheers
