This is still a great memory of an amazing caravan journey around Australia. No this guy wasn't an idiot. He just had a lapse of concentration after assisting others to traverse the drop
Hi Veronica, This guy definitely wasn’t crazy your right there but he has gotten crazy in his old age. I’m his eldest daughter and was there when he did that. It’s so cool that he managed to get 3.6M views with your help. So thanks
And this is the reason why your off-roader should be a bullet proof Nissan Patrol! Insane! Great video. I though he hit that rock pretty hard but there's barely any damage, wow!
The worst part about this, is if he did not have a trailer and rolled upside down into the water, you can't get your doors open to get out, this is a pretty dangerous bit for an inexperienced 4wder, I've seen some nearly break too hard and forward roll on this, would be pretty scary if it happened.
My dad didn’t spend much money on equipment but had a lot of commonsense or else he wouldn’t have been able to get down and out of there without any help from another car
classic mate... love the way all the key board warriors bag you for stuffin the line... good on ya for sharing the moment with us all.. I did this trip on a DRZ last year had a gr8 time.
@ClaytonNJoanne actually pal I'm not the driver , just an observer . this guy has done it many times and just had an off day - at least he is out there having fun - and not just criticizing others from the safety of his computer
So basically, according to a lot of these comments here, if you plan on going off-road, rushing like a mad cat, choosing shitty lines, then you should have a Toyota cause the horn won't go off when you fuck the hole side of your truck. Personally I'd rather pick my line, take my time, do it properly and avoid the whole screwing up the side my truck thing! then it doesn't matter whether its a Nissan, Toyota or anything else.
Maybe he figured out if you are going to do this type of 4wd driving,do it closer to home in a bush basher....not half a country away on a holiday that easily get fucked up along with his vehicle.....heap of wrecks on a property not far from there,insurance companies deemed it not cost effective to retrieve or repair...every one represents a fucked up vacation
interesting the points of view here, would love to have seen the approach & preparation footage about 2 mins prior, lots of spectators, distractions etc. probably in all the fuss he simply forgot where his wheels were, didn't see anyone stopping him! to state the obvious - no designated spotter or radio contact employed to actually plan the descent correctly! the kid on the right was just an onlooker like everyone else, lots to learn from that one, glad no one was hurt except his pride and his wallet.
I happened to meet this bloke and his wife in the Kimberley this year , he was a great bloke , I would go bush with him anytime , yep he admits he stuffed up and was bloody lucky to have so little damage We have all stuffed up at sometime , I know I have plenty of times
wall:haha u will never pass nissan:yes i will wall:no you wont haha you flip nissan:thats what you think wall:stares blankly in dissapiontment as the nissan drives away nissan:man i thought i was gonna loose
I can't believe with everyone standing round no one was spotting him and helping place the line of the tyres! I would have been beyond pissed off. Very lucky mate!
Good deal, I have a video on here of my lil silverado that I put a leveling kit on the front and larger nitto trail grapplers. It's my daily driver so I'd never attempt what the driver did in this video. My truck is too long, mainly use it on my farm and when it snows.....Good to meet ya...
Bloody lucky mate! That would not have been a fun recovery if it went over all the way! Would have most likely been the end of a great adventure. Hope you got a lottery ticket when you got home!
Lesson learnt, you've saved me money watching the fall(?), decent(?) of your GU. Hindsight's a great thing and your lucky almost everyone posting has a bucket full :-).
Where was the spotter??? Whoever told him to put his right front wheel up there got it wrong. It happens. Something to talk about over a beer that night. No-one likes to damage their car, but dont buy a 4WD if you're that worried about it!!!!
And for the rest of the journey all that was heard was, beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
yeah the camper was the only reason he didn't flip over fully it looks like . Not gonna have a go at him calling him shit or what not but pick ur lines more carefully :P
i found it hard to stop entertaining my self by replaying oo shit no fuck about a hundred times....how the hell was he so far to the right? surely u would know your riding that ledge, thank fuck for the trailer....
If it wasn't for the trailer, this vid would've been very different. Very lucky, would've been a bad place to flip in that narrow ravine full of water....
There is so much wrong with this, they are so lucky that no one got hurt or killed. The man attempting to do the Gunshot like that is a mindless peanut and should not be let behind the wheel of a 4wd. I just hope he doesn't have and will never have any children. Anyway, happy and lucky they drove out of it.
This man is not a mindless peanut he is the smartest man I know and I am proud to call him my father. He had been down gunshot multiple times before this and was just doing it again. He is extremely experienced in 4WD and has even been a diesel mechanic. I have a feeling that you wouldn’t have the balls to do this so you really cant say anything.
grew up around this type of activity all over this region mentioned and have witnessed greater skill in a Hilux 2WD from my now nearly 70 year old father. if he had no trailer, providing downward force onto the rear of the chassis at that critical "im about to roll" moment - he would have tipped over because the angle of attack was completely misjudged. just talking to the facts, driver error, was luck not end up in the water upside down. ah seriously, with passengers? *look in the mirror dude*
It make me realize one important thing...no horse power can match skills to handle a diesel low end torque compact truck...but in north america we love so much to spoil oil and cant get compact truck because it would cut some american job in manufacturing plant...why don't they build them in america for american and european can keep their production line ! FRUSTRATION
ROFL... The horn stays on... and the way he grips the steering wheel and leans out of the bloody car is classic... fucked up bet he never went 4x4 again after this trip...sold the patrol and went back to a sedan of some type...possibly a kluger
should be thankful for the trailer .. kept him 'wheels on the floor'
true

Insane!
Great video. I though he hit that rock pretty hard but there's barely any damage, wow!
This is where a spotter is handy not just onlookers keen to see someone crash

A 500kg trailer won't stop a 3tonne 4wd from rolling over. If the bank was not there he wouldve Sat on his lid
Ah...off-roaders:
Equipment = many $10,000s.
Common sense = 0.1.
My dad didn’t spend much money on equipment but had a lot of commonsense or else he wouldn’t have been able to get down and out of there without any help from another car

His wife chipped her tooth on that bank
The trailer was holding on to that Nissan yelling "you ain't tippin! I got you!"
And I’m lucky to call the driver my loving dad.
Yeah nah, not good line choice...
mudbutton2 yeah I think a bit to the right bpmight be good ay
Say what you want ,but that Nissan just saved that guy's ass.
Naw. Pretty sure the trailer hung on the back of that Nissan just saved that guy's ass.

"slowly, slowly slowly, oh shit no, ohhh, fuck !" .........lol, that got me
Removal, inspection of frame, new part, primer, paint, clearcoat, installation.
It all adds up
yep, bet he's thankful he ended up taking the trailer on that trip! probs the only thing that saved him lol
I just hope he learned something from that. Scary moments.
Maybe he figured out if you are going to do this type of 4wd driving,do it closer to home in a bush basher....not half a country away on a holiday that easily get fucked up along with his vehicle.....heap of wrecks on a property not far from there,insurance companies deemed it not cost effective to retrieve or repair...every one represents a fucked up vacation
Nah my dad learnt nothing from this and I think he wants to go back and do it again
@@bushjustice6649 he still drives half a country away to explore this beautiful country that we call home
interesting the points of view here, would love to have seen the approach & preparation footage about 2 mins prior, lots of spectators, distractions etc. probably in all the fuss he simply forgot where his wheels were, didn't see anyone stopping him! to state the obvious - no designated spotter or radio contact employed to actually plan the descent correctly! the kid on the right was just an onlooker like everyone else, lots to learn from that one, glad no one was hurt except his pride and his wallet.
I agree but gunshot doesn't require a spotter, just line it up and go for it. It's not like you need to pick lines or anything, there's only 1 line.
"pop back up", " just walk away like nothing happened"
Good try mate, was near impossible to complete with out breaking something! you did well getting away with a faulty horn and a bashed quarter panel :D
Hey ! ,
you left your scoop embedded in the embankment .
Lucky it wasn't worse .
I happened to meet this bloke and his wife in the Kimberley this year , he was a great bloke ,
I would go bush with him anytime , yep he admits he stuffed up and was bloody lucky to have so little damage
We have all stuffed up at sometime , I know I have plenty of times
haha i always come back to see this every once in a while
I think the trailer saved his bacon from going over completely.
Brown trouser moment right there. I bet he's glad you got it on video, he can show people how he got that funny dent in the top of the front left wing
wall:haha u will never pass
nissan:yes i will
wall:no you wont haha you flip
nissan:thats what you think
wall:stares blankly in dissapiontment as the nissan drives away
nissan:man i thought i was gonna loose
Wow nice way to line the track up lol, Very lucky it was just a quater panel thought it was going to go over.
that trailer acturally helped him from not rolling over onto his roof.
I think a colorful metaphor or two was quite understandable in that situation. ^_^ I might have muttered one myself just watching the video. -_^
even my freckle puckered up just watching that one
WOW love the bumper mate i thought the damage would have been much more nice love the ride:)
I can't believe with everyone standing round no one was spotting him and helping place the line of the tyres! I would have been beyond pissed off. Very lucky mate!
I’m pretty sure my dad didn’t want help because if he did he would’ve asked his mates that came with us
I think the trailer saved that a bit, stopped it from going over onto its roof
no, that trailer saved him a LOT
Good deal, I have a video on here of my lil silverado that I put a leveling kit on the front and larger nitto trail grapplers. It's my daily driver so I'd never attempt what the driver did in this video. My truck is too long, mainly use it on my farm and when it snows.....Good to meet ya...
all the people standing around you would think he would know he's way off line
dude. if i was that guy, id brag about that dent on the hood after that kind of stunt, serious balls
That was better than i thought it was going to be!!!
Bloody lucky mate! That would not have been a fun recovery if it went over all the way! Would have most likely been the end of a great adventure. Hope you got a lottery ticket when you got home!
Plenty of people standing around and know onw spotted him down the hill he couldnt see down. Hmmmm ah well.
Nissan Patrols are Amazing!!
WTF. Why be up on the right side like that....Pure stupidity
LOL, sounds like he used the horn to cover all the swearing.
Looks like he busted off his fresh air intake cap, but that one bloke went to pick it up.
LOL good stuff, he made it!! Why is there so many tough typers out there, face to face and they would be timid as fuck
🤣🤣 That's kinda why you have spotters 🤣🤣
More vids from this trip please.... with driving like that, that could'mt have been the only thing to go wrong
Lesson learnt, you've saved me money watching the fall(?), decent(?) of your GU.
Hindsight's a great thing and your lucky almost everyone posting has a bucket full :-).
the trailer behind hugely help it from fliping over
...love the terrain,post more vids!!. I'm wanting to setup my '94 yoda alot like that.. rock on from the Rogue river valley... other side of the world
yea, don't try and straddle a five foot tall wall....
gotta love the sound of the horns surfaceing though lol.
What an absolute legend! Onya Steery!!
very impressive-well done!
Where was the spotter???
Whoever told him to put his right front wheel up there got it wrong.
It happens. Something to talk about over a beer that night. No-one likes to damage their car, but dont buy a 4WD if you're that worried about it!!!!
I think if he didn't have the trailer he would have picked a better line.
THAT WAS FUCKING EPPPIC DUDE YOU HAVE BALLS FOR DOING THAT AY HAHA GOOD JOB.
I think your trailer saved your ass from a roll!!!
OMG Matty that's insane! How did Saph take that? Hope the car is okay.
Still bummed I couldn't come on this trip.
You've become a youtube celebrity!
And for the rest of the journey all that was heard was, beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
Damn...fortunate son!
horn stuck on?
no he was just celebrating like a boss
attempting? more like completing and with style too! go the patrol! :D
yeah the camper was the only reason he didn't flip over fully it looks like . Not gonna have a go at him calling him shit or what not but pick ur lines more carefully :P
I reckon if the camper trailer wasn't on the back it may have been a lot worse.
Thats one tough windscreen
That was awesome.
i found it hard to stop entertaining my self by replaying oo shit no fuck about a hundred times....how the hell was he so far to the right? surely u would know your riding that ledge, thank fuck for the trailer....
the drive did attempt to correct, but by that point due to the insane incline there was nothing he could do but hope he didnt roll onto his roof
Great advertisement for Nissan Australia
Great vid, big balls, love it
Trailer kept him otherwise he roll over. More luck, less drive. Happy end anyway!
one hell of a stunt he pulled here. Looks like he went a little too far to his right side. I had to watch it a couple of times. Wow
doesn't matter what 4wd you drive, what counts is what's underneath it!
not necessarily, if water entered the relay boxes in the engine compartment, it would cause a similar issue
i was like oh yeah, damnit it landed it!
haha lol with a trailer even ! nice
If it wasn't for the trailer, this vid would've been very different. Very lucky, would've been a bad place to flip in that narrow ravine full of water....
without the trailer would have been an upside down vehicle and 2 people dead, drowned in that muck
@TheCRU54 - the guys were telling him , but too late to change the wheel direction as the momentum took hold - ronnie
saved by the trailer! shame for the damages :(
Add to list: Bring spare mirrors!
I reckon there would be a slight smell of poo in the cabin after that. As soon as he wheeled right you could see it comong
Always have a spotter!
Serves him right. Expensive mistake.. Nearly broke his front axles.
Why expensive??
Horns stuck on woulf drain his battery . Hahs
Lucky he had the trailer on
el sorete que se llevo este tipo ,no se lo olvida mas en su vida!
A short should have blown the fuse.
I think just a cheap pressure switch on the steering wheel was the issue.
LMFAO! He's tooting as well as the same time!
There is so much wrong with this, they are so lucky that no one got hurt or killed. The man attempting to do the Gunshot like that is a mindless peanut and should not be let behind the wheel of a 4wd. I just hope he doesn't have and will never have any children.

He is extremely experienced in 4WD and has even been a diesel mechanic. I have a feeling that you wouldn’t have the balls to do this so you really cant say anything.
It all worked out in the end though didn't it?
Thats themain thing.
And if it didn't happen then we wouldnt be able to have a laugh at him, lol.
Is it a kind of tradition then to blow the horn minutes long? Interesting...
grew up around this type of activity all over this region mentioned and have witnessed greater skill in a Hilux 2WD from my now nearly 70 year old father. if he had no trailer, providing downward force onto the rear of the chassis at that critical "im about to roll" moment - he would have tipped over because the angle of attack was completely misjudged. just talking to the facts, driver error, was luck not end up in the water upside down. ah seriously, with passengers? *look in the mirror dude*
*crash* "keep on going like nothing happened"
What.A. Recovery.
I hate youtube, I thought that I have been off roading untill I watched some of these videos.
It make me realize one important thing...no horse power can match skills to handle a diesel low end torque compact truck...but in north america we love so much to spoil oil and cant get compact truck because it would cut some american job in manufacturing plant...why don't they build them in america for american and european can keep their production line ! FRUSTRATION
They dont make em like that anymore!
Water must have shorted the horn.
Nice ding in the front quater panel! Very lucky. Chose the wrong line??
ROFL... The horn stays on... and the way he grips the steering wheel and leans out of the bloody car is classic... fucked up bet he never went 4x4 again after this trip...sold the patrol and went back to a sedan of some type...possibly a kluger
