This is why I love Aussies. States he's out of depth, scared, and afraid of heights but sends it over the snow while laughing. Got to love it.
It's a survival instinct 😂
We are usually pretty truthful too. We also love to say “Send it”. Or if in doubt, peddle out.
As a Colorado native who's been wheeling in the San Jauns my whole life, and a MASSIVE fan of this channel, this is AMAZING!
Dude pretty much same here, always thought they would love it here.
Me three XOXO we are so lucky 🙂
Me as well! So glad to see a bunch of Aussies in CO this year as some of the drag car guys also did rocky mountain race week!
It was an amazing video, except for the part where they illegally drove off trail onto the tundra to camp in an area where camping isn't allowed.
What trail are they on? Parts of it look like Alpine Loop, but the challenging snow spot I don't recognize
Thanks to you all for allowing us to help you with the show. Truly an epic experience! Oh, we think people like the prado too 😉
The Prado goes alright 👍
When will you be coming down under to film an episode?
why is it made by lexus? in aus all our lexus’s are just city suv’s nothing like prados and 200’s
@@thataustralian4078 Just badge engineering for the market. The only Prado's in UK are Jap market imports. Horses for courses.
Omg! Id have been put with you guys in a heartbeat
Your America trip has been some of the very best content on RUclips fellas. Take a bow, truly entertaining stuff. Seeing you guys so out of your element while tackling some of the most difficult trails the good ol US of A can offer is super fun to watch and offers a nice contrast from your Aussie adventures where you all know the tracks inside and out. I LOVED the Rubicon trail content. The CO content was top-notch as well. I cannot wait to see what you all get up to in Moab.
My Cherokee has gps cords to a place in Moab under the seat! Easter egg
Graham doesn’t have to worry about Pete’s wheeling. He’s the best the show has ever seen
Yep, cool as always.
He and Jock are both exceptional behind a steering wheel.
@@BillyTpower I prefer Jesse’s approach over Jock straps. I do like Jocks technical ability though.
been watching the show a couple of years now and imo Jessie is the best driver/line spotter and appears he and Jocko work on a tighter vehicle budget then the others ? cant wait to see his bmw powered rig on the trails though
Graham talks a lot, but really is not close to being the best.
Boys I’m struggling for the right words to describe the cinematography in this particular episode. I can’t do it justice. Really reminds me of Top Gear in terms of production quality. Awesome effort. Can’t wait for the next one.
You had me at "cinematography".
The Aussies especially Shauno are comedic gold. Reminds me of the Aussie Army Amphibious units I got to train with in the 90’s. They can turn any bad situation into something hilarious.
Man, I am so happy y'all got to wheel both Colorado and Utah. Anyone is welcome to come here and wheel. By in large, most Americans are nice, good people. Especially the people out there wheeling. Living in the USA you start to take these places for granted. Really reminds me how lucky we are to have these types of tracks available to us.
I moved to Colorado from the east. The large swaths of public land available here are amazing. The east half could never
I don't care who you are, or where you're from... there is nothing better than seeing some long time friends living their dreams... There is no faking the enthusiasm and excitement on all of your faces! Living life like bloddy legends..!
Pete and Graham in the same car is gold!
As a Colorado native. Been wheeling for over 50 years. And just found your channel. Love it
From an American living in Australia, this tour warms my heart. Two great countries with amazing adventures to be shared with everyone!
What brought you to Australia? You enjoy living there? The wife and I want to travel to NZ and AUS sometime in the next few years. I've seen so much of the continent by watching this channel I am really looking forward to it.
Exactly how I feel as an Aussie living in America! Cheers brother
That prado is absolutely badass
Thank you! 🎉
I’m devastated because this is not Australia and yet it’s the best episode yet. Aaargh, too good. Mind blown boys!
lulz
I'm blown away by all the Australian trails. I've been watching every video I can since I saw the Rubicon video. A lot of the Australian tracks look way more crazy.
@@buddzilla187Touring Australia via this channel has been such a treat. I’m glad you’re experiencing it too!
better trails,,less bs laws in u.s. ausie.. engineers, need a labotomy.. its a 4x4,,not a car..
I started four wheeling because of this channel and never thought you guys would love my home so much thanks for visiting.
As an American viewer, it’s awesome to see the guys from down under coming to the US and running all these iconic US trails. Really bummed I couldn’t make the Moab meet up way back. This is getting me stoked on wanting to run more trails.
Come to Australia for some epic tracks 👌🏾👌🏾
@@MultiRow1 one of these years I will I think! Gonna be the far off future though because that would be an all me trip and the wife had no interest (unfortunately) to visit Australia
@@adambrown7741 First thing you gotta do is either Fraser Island beach driving or Cape York and do its Gun Barrel when you come to Australia in the far future mate
@@BlackSwordsman32 k’gari/frazier is tip top of the list. Coupled with finding a stick shift diesel to tool around in lol
So happy for you guys and the fact that you got to experience the adventures of the U.S. shame people that live here never go and dont even know it exists.
A shame ? Nah bro.
pretty sure that literal thousands of people cross the Alpine passes in the San Juan every year.
I live it everyday at 3,000 ft elevation. Off grid brutha!
Go to the midwest or east coast and ask how many off roaders have wheeled in Utah, Colorado and Nevada. Only a very small percentage. They always say they will or they want to but they never do. @@eat.sleep.wheel21
Those that don't go can't do to sky high taxes leaving them without the money to.
Honestly, im so impressed that Sean got the picture despite his fear of heights! This and the rubicon episode has been awesome!
So true!
Shauno is goated bro
Yeah I don't know if I'd be able to make myself drive out there!
That pictures staying on his wall forever.
guys be careful with compression fittings. they do work in a pinch as a temporary fix, but they can blow apart under high brake load like a panic stop. always try to use a union instead that matches the flare type on the line. the difference is the union is a solid piece of material that puts the load on the threads and the flare seal. the compression fitting relies on friction alone on the outer surface of the line to hold it together.
That is a beast of a trail. But there are roads upto 5800m in Indian Himalayas. That is literally higher than Everest base camp! Lot of trails and camps in 4000-5500m range. Very fortunate to have driven and ridden on a few of them!
The prado valiantly leading the way with no breakages or errors and aussies still sh*t on it, classic
She gets rowdy!
You guys found my favorite trail! I turned around at the snow in July and came back a few weeks later, after you guys blazed the trail for me. Thanks!
Growing up in Colorado and living in this Coloradan country y’all are in, makes me so happy! Love watching this channel and all you all do. Thanks for showing that dreams can happen with some hard work and perseverance! AMAZING!
Your positivity even when things go wrong, is exactly why we all love 4WD 24-7! Side note, that salmon dinner ya'll made may just look like the best meal you have made yet! I can honestly say that I was smiling throughout this entire video... even money cannot buy that feeling. Thanks guys
Finally!!! Glad to see the Lexus gx470 (120 prado) getting some love!!
Just shows how capable they are
PRADO REPRESENT 🔥
@@badonkadonk2646 its basically a 4th gen 4runner with a bulletproof v8, leather seats, rear air suspension, and some sweet overfenders. Love mine!
I am SOOO stoked for this especially after your Rubicon video, super happy you guys are being able to enjoy America's trails, I feel spoiled being able to have these trails
Straight up, equally as good watching Shawn-O and the boys taking on our American trails, as watching Clarkson, Hammond, and May travel through Vietnam. Absolutely epic storytelling, locations, and filmography. I had no idea you guys hit the Rubicon, just watched the video, and here I am halfway through this one. Completely and utterly glorious.
Shaun with his shoulders shrugged with a beer watching his mate obtain hypothermia while he goes “u alright” is just gold.
Started to crack up when he said he was getting sympathy shrinkage 😂
Glad to see your adventures in our lands continue. The release of videos is a bit long apart but enjoyable to see them indeed.
Disappointing that they decided to treat our lands poorly. The campsite they show on Imogene is 100% against forest regulations.
@@n0pe213that campsite your talking about is actually at the end of the trail Yankee Boy Basin.. it’s in the Uncompahgre Natl Forrest and you can dispersed camp there
It is generally poor form in the west to start a new camp site.Certainly, in that alpine region the standard is to camp in an established location. Not on the undisturbed Tundra. The American should have known better. Also, Yankee Boy Basin is mostly private property. The signs are subtle but it is widely posted.@@Tn_Taco
@@scotthemmen8717 yeah I agree, I took a look back at it on OnX can see where the private property is along the trail but it seems like the place they camped was NF land per the app
@@scotthemmen8717 this is what I found on the NF website: “Dispersed camping is allowed in the Grand Mesa & Uncompahgre National Forest. You can set up your campsite within 300 feet of any designated road or trail, providing no resource damage occurs.”
I grew up wheeling in Colorado, and the off camber stuff above tree line gets so freaking scary. Even just watching the first few minutes I'm getting legit ptsd to some bad moments I had back when. I moved to California and started exploring the Sierra Nevadas, so in two videos you'll have hit my two main stomping grounds, and when you hit Moab, you'll be in one of my ultimate paradise spots.
Thanks for coming over. I'm in central America and heading south, but y'all are making me super homesick!
Each time another 5 minutes of the video plays I go to hit the like button and realize I've already done it! Living in Colorao and having driven trails in that area it warms my heart to see Shanuo, Graham, Pete and Tim drive and enjoy the same ones! Love you guys
Man, y'all are my favorite off-roading content. I'm a new fan that just found you guys a week ago! Already cooked Seano's curry sausage meal and my god it is good!!
You men are just the thing we needed up here in the states!
From the PNW in Washington
So proud of you SHAUNO! Conquer that fear legend!
Epic show as always
Since I started following yall years ago I've been dreaming of an offroad trip in Australia.
Some of us Americans tend to forget what beauty we have in our own land.
Thanks to the Aussies for the reminder 🙏
Few days has passed since this video launched, and I finally decided its time to get myself a 4x4. Bought a Nissan Pathfinder R51 2011 for cheap and will start modding it soon. I'm pretty much motivated by you guys. Hopefully will get into new experiences and adventures soon 😁
Right on
I can’t believe Graham made such an epic trip and didn’t take Shorty over for it!
Great video none the less fellas.
Cheers Pat
It’s quite likely that shorty wouldn’t pass the inspections required. And then the sea freight will probably cause a lot of damage
@@justinkatipa9577 We don't have inspections here in most of CO, some have imported diesel LCs also
the BEST forby channel on youtube 100%
Keep up the amazing work Shauno, Graham and the boys
Best on TV anywhere! Far better than top gear.
I have been to 5000 meters on the border from Chile to Bolivia. And the most stunning thing was that over that pass the other day heavy haulage trucks passed with a big load of maybe 100 tonnes!😮
I live a hour away from these trails. Yall make me realize how much of a amazing place I live. I have been on many of these back country trails and they still make me smile every time. Awesome cinematography.
G'day guys . This is by a looong chalk the best value video your crew has EVER produced. Totally awesome. Thank you for sharing
I like all the friendly banter the Prado/GX was getting and it absolutely preformed 💪🏼
I grew up riding motorcycles on these trails, I loved riding all over Colorado, Utah, and northern New Mexico, I remember our first high altitude climb over the continental divide and up to American Flag Mountain where one of our two stoke motorcycles couldn't make it on its jets that were set for 8000ft. fun times! Glad you guys could see my childhood back yard!
Just awesome witnessing Sean facing his fear with his mates support every step of the way. Fear is an interesting thing. What might seem like nothing to one man can be terrifying for another and vice versa. Awesome stuff men!
Just goes to show that nothing in Australia can come halfway as close to being amazing as these views, my God what an incredible country the USA is
Don't kid yourself. Australia packs a punch in the scenery department also.
Yes it certainly does but not to the extent over there
Yeah nah
@@andysparks1973 aah yeah
yeah nah@@oliverdouglas9370
Funny how they comment Jeeps being prone to breaking (a brake line and a tie rod, from hitting boulders etc on the trail btw). Yet two Toyotas break their drivelines from basic climbs, and another's rear brakes stop working, but somehow no criticism...
I was thinking the same thing lol I think they are in denial after watching the JKU stroll through the stuff their rigs are struggling through !
Jeep is shit
You guys are incredible I love to see people appreciate the Colorado trails. Your attitude and mechanics skills are very impressive. Colorado is Amazing and hard to beat anywhere.
The American content and videos have been by far some of the best this Channel has produced. I’m loving it. This could be a new start of visiting other countries with iconic tracks
I just did Imogene Pass and Engineer Pass in early September in my lightly modded GX460 (Prado) with no issues, but was fortunate to not deal with snow on the trail itself.
Yer the Prado! Absolute rig!
As a Colorado native who has been over all these roads this is so much fun. I'm sitting here with happy tears hearing your words about my home state. When you live there it doesn't hit you as hard how special it can be. So watching your joy is like seeing with a new set of eyes.
What an absolutely awesome episode! It's so awesome to see you guys in my backyard after having watched you guy for over 6 years now. I'm glad to be a Colorado Native and see you enjoy all of the same experiences I have had growing up here in Colorado. It's truly a one of kind place.
"Chase did it, and he drives a Prado.".... classic
😂😂😂
As a fellow GX470 owner. Thanks for the proper representation! Great rigs. Cheers 🇺🇸
🎉🎉🎉
Glad you enjoyed our Colorado Mtns! The views don’t get much better. Come back again anytime!
I love Colorado and have wheeled that area and Imogene a few times. The beauty never gets old. I love seeing you guys getting excited about the places I have grown to love.
Welcome to the states. Enjoy.
You can 4wd in bolivia across the Andes at 17,000ft. Top gear did it
amazing video guys thank a lot for taking us along BUT got to love what we know as a PRADO thats the only van that didn't break ;-]
TELL EM
I was one of those campers at the site below your group yelling “hey bear” haha. A mama bear and her two cubs came wandering through the middle of camp. It was great getting to meet yall, and very cool getting a shoutout of sorts in the video haha!
I don’t understand why someone would dump money into ifs 🤷🏼♂️ you get so much more out of a straight axle stronger, more articulation less failure points
Sweet video 🤙🏼
America 🇺🇸 💪🏼🦅🛠️
I've been wheeling the Rockies and the Sierras for over 50 years. It's a blast watching these wonderful lowlanders enjoy it and conquer the routine obstacles like broken rigs and testing your sanity. Great job friends! I have a dream to see Australia, but will probably have to make do with your wonderful filming. Thanks for visiting us.
putting aside the altitude, I can say for certain that seeing those mountain ranges, those views remind me of Carpathian ranges in this country of ours (Romania), it felt to me like I was back on the trails in Bucegi Mountains and Fagaras Mountains as well. Simply stunning views in this part of the parallels. Almost Everywhere.
I've visited the edge of the mountains in Romania and have frenquently visited Colorado in the U.S.
Both beautiful places
I stayed up late ( here in the states) to watch you guys. Sooo glad you came. We where waiting in agony for this episode
"i've never been this high on a mountain before." Glad to see he's really getting the full Colorado experience.
How many US featured episodes will there be? So far it's been very entertaining.
Awesome to see the Lexus GX470 making a main appearance on this episode instead of just being in the background 🤙👌
Wow guys that was totally epic. Oh what fun that all looked like. It just goes to show that the dirty 30 can run with the big boys even on the small tyres well done guys. I’m so jealous 🤙😎🇦🇺
Yep. Blown away. Great to see you guys having fun. The scenery is awe inspiring.
I'm from CO and love this video, 4wding in CO is one of the most different and fun kinds you can do! Tire selection is also extremely important here, getting a cold weather compound and tread with siping is extremely important. And as a Coloradan it makes me proud how much they respect and enjoy my state
Glad you're enjoying Colorado!
Its worth mentioning that high alpine tundra is very fragile so driving off trail can cause damage that can take decades to recover and puts trails at risk of being shut down. I'm sure your camp was sanctioned but it's an important detail for others watching this video that may not know.
Someone should tell the wildlife to stay off of it as well... the heards of wildlife are causing irreversible damage. 😢
About 100 years with short growing seasons
@@crabbitkClearly that's not the case but it is with 4wd tires
Yea that wasn't cool. That's what gets trails shut down.
@@crabbitkwildlife has no brain, hopefully u do
as another colorado native who's driven all over the san juans I was sooo stoked for you guys to see this incredible place! i'm a huge fan of you guys and was so proud to see you guys enjoy it like i have. what an episode! can't wait for the moab episode! p.s. did you go thru the rock tunnel thousands of feet above telluride?
Highest I camped at is only 2876 Sarni Pass in Lesotho it is very cold there in winter and they close the track to South Africa so it’s the long way around but what beautiful surroundings
Been there. Took the South Africa side with the rented jeeps. Beautiful view
@@matthewmosier8439 I went up there with my 2/4 Toyota used diff lock
I live relativity close to Ouray. Its brings me such joy to be reminded of how blessed i am to live here. Seeing the joy and wonder you've experienced brings me back.
This is AMAZING 👏. I'm only a quarter through and I'm FROTHIN ❤ . What an epic trip, good on the Americans for looking after you so well
Great episode. Thoroughly enjoyed everything in the video and watching the Prado on 37’s. I’d put 37’s on mine in Australia but the Department Against Transport might not like a car being too much fun.
You guys have some sick drives. Absolutely amazing Keep up the great work.😊😊
I lived and wheeled in Colorado, in my 74 Bronco. I 'pucker' thinking about all the sketchy trails and close calls. The sense of accomplishment finishing these trail will follow you your entire life. Red Cone was my favorite run, could do it alone without major hassles. 12,800ft is no joke. Remember, it's on trail and not offroad.
Love our Aussie brothers! I’ve spent a lot of time traveling SE Asia and of course always run into many Aussies as it’s so much closer for them to get there. I’ve met so many fun, friendly and genuinely great Aussies on these trips! Great to see some come here and have such an amazing journey in the US.
I can’t wait to see how Shawn reacts to the top of the world trail 😂😂
Hey fellas. love the show. I live in Colorado and hope you enjoy your time here and in the us. Would have loved to show you around some amazing trails though my rig was stolen and the guy drove it through a house moving the house off of its foundation. 96 bronco fully kitted out. The heavy duty bumper I welded up saved his life but the truck it in a sad state. Anyways have a great time Fellas.
Sorry to hear that. Hope you can fix it
SYMPATHY SHRINKAGE....Classic!!! Greetings from South Carolina USA!!!! I think ya'll need to to do an ENTIRE EPISODE OF JUST BLOOPERS!!
It truly is amazing and incredible that you boys got to go to a place that I visit regularly. It’s almost like my son and I are there with you guys. What a fantastic episode.
I’m a fan from Mexico. Missed you guys on Ouray for a couple of days, would’ve been great to get a photo with that iconic Dirty 30. The San Juan Mountains are one of my favorite wheeling and scenery places and love them!
This is by far the best episode you guys have ever done that scenery was amazing. 😮 keep it up do our brothers in the NZ next!!!
thank you for coming all the way to my home trails. And doing so with the respect and ability you all showed. Come again theres so much more waiting for you
Man I love your crew! Thanks for enjoying Colorado. Your voices make it even better! The snow is like non other! God Bless and thanks for a great video!
If the 12,000 " pass doesn't kill you, the Norwegian Farm Raised Salmon surely will . . . . .
So glad to see y’all enjoy the trails I love to go on here in Colorado. I moved here 4 years ago and it changed my life. So blessed to call this beautiful place home.
This truly brings me joy to watch! Thank you for making such great content as always! Your channel is something I love to watch in the background while I work on my 110 😂
I absolutely loved this video which brought back great memories of off-roading with friends back in the 1970's and '80's in British Columbia, Canada. We didn't have all the fancy gear these guys do but with winches, jack-alls and chainsaws we made it one way or another. Yank's Peak in the Cariboo, the Jade Mine in the Shulaps mountain range, Middlepass crossing over the continental divide from the Flathead valley in B.C. into Alberta, P Line in the mountains above Squamish....all amazing trips. I'm a little too old now to get back into off-roading but watching these Aussies exploring the U.S. where I now live helps me relive my glory days of my youth. Thank you!
I think we're going to see a lot of Aussies coming over the southern border in their 4WDs soon after watching this video 😮
They're welcome! They can bring the 'good' 80 series stuff with them to haha
At least they speak English, unlike the majority that come across our southern border. They'll probably also return to their homeland as well & not wear out their welcome
Time for Shauno to swap in a stout set of high pinion high steering Dana 60's on the 30.
I believe I made the suggestion of coming to the states around the same time you guys changed from 4WD Action to 4WD 24/7. Been watching since Roothy started posting on RUclips.
Hope you guys get a chance to see the Pacific North West and Alaska. Love to see you guys make the run up to Prudhoe Bay.
Great going guys. Not only are you showing us great views and great wheeling adventures but the polar plunge, the salmon filet cooking, sleeping in a swag in bear country, where you are "easy prey", the laughing and joking just make your videos absolutely amazing. Welcome to the USA. I am enjoying your visit.
I am ecstatic about this, especially in light of your Rubicon video. I'm glad you guys can enjoy the trails in America; I feel privileged to have access to such tracks.
dude these videos are amazing. what an adventure. as an american GX/prado owner myself, wheeling the soccer mom rig is always a good time 😂 they are becoming pretty common rigs out here at least on the west coast these days.
Love mine. Theyre popping up all over the East Coast too
As a native coloradian who runs up and down webster pass and redcone on a yearly basis, seeing others' experience makes me realize how privileged I am when this is in my backyard, you guys are more than welcome to come again I hope one day to see you running the trail
We are reallllly lucky that these trails are hours and less from us. We have to do our best to protect them too and keep access open since everyone seems to be gunning against motorized trail users anymore.
Nice! I grew up in Summit County running those trails. I didn't know there was any other wheeling than shelf roads and driving over mountain peaks. 😄 I love seeing the Australian trails these guys run. Those islands look out of this world.
As a New Mexican . It's awesome to have the mountains just north of us. Great way to get out of the heat and enjoy some camping and wheeling. We are blessed to have it.
Seeing y’all in places I went that got me into camping is as good as it gets on you tube. This is awesome.
i cant wait to 4WD when im older!
2psi. I would be worried. About the tyres and rims. Parting company. Even if Shaun was shitting bricks.
The scenery is magnificent guys
Great job capturing the excitement and emotion of concurring these trails. If you are ever back in the states I would love to wheel with you guys. There’s plenty more to see! 😊👍🏼
I’ve played that brake game with 3 different Jeeps in my day. YJ, XJ and WJ all failed at the rear line. I got ahead of the issue on my current JK and regularly keep an eye on it.
Needless to say, now I always carry spare coils of 3/16” brake line and several Parker 3500psi 3/16” compression couplers.
Jeep life.
😂🍻
