You were and are two of the nicest people anyone could ever hope to meet. Add to that you are so capable and helpful. You saved our group trip, and we're extremely greatful to you both for doing so. It was also super interesting to learn you lead group trips and provide tracks and content to Hema. What a couple of understated Aussie champions. I hope you have great travel adventures after Mt. Dare in your Hilux. I hope you enjoyed the beer. Cheers, Craig (white Prado 150 - brake pads and me cleaning the residual mud of the inside of my Methods with the shop brush).
This is awesome! I'm a 30 yr old female who is tiny and just started a heavy diesel mechanic apprenticeship in Sydney, so it's good inspiration seeing another female who knows her stuff! Both of you are legends 😁
Good on ya kids. It is not where you do the work but how you go about it. Looks like you do things correctly without being pretentious. They were all lucky to have you two there.
Back in about 1984, my family were bringing two campers down from the Alice. Can't remember what happened, but we broke down at Mt Dare! Stuck there for a few hours while they fixed the issue. Glad to see the place is still going. Essential service.
Hey Isabella. I’ve been a mechanic for 40 years on the north coast of nsw we got parts delivered twice a day ,I can only imagine your frustration having to wait for a part to finish a job. Having the passion is the only way to keep going as mechanic, well that’s what I found anyway. Good on you guys well done.
This woman knows her stuff very well i use to work with her, i would rather a woman work on my vehicle than a bloke who doesn't care :) i know some very good female techs and males too :)😃

Tip for when you don't have a tom thumb pump - run a bit of hose from your fluid container into whatever you're filling/transferring to, then put you hand covering the lid of the fluid container and use compressor to blow air into it - it'll force the fluid through the hose.
The trick for stretched tyre is you need an air fitting that screws onto valve and have the air running when you hit it with the bazooka. Then rip fitting off and slap the valve stem in asap
No way could I do that. I used to clean windows from a 40’ ladder but fell off the roof of my house years ago and now terrified of heights now. My wife conquers her fear of heights busy going up the top of towers and standing on glass floors up there. I go up with her but don’t go anywhere near the windows. Well done.
I'm no mechanic but I find learning what the parts look like and watching the disassembly or installation interesting... Definitely let a bush mechanic work on my car... New subscriber... Safe travels.
Seating the tyre ,use the bazooka ,but hook up the air so its flowing into the valve stem at the same time ,makes a world of difference, found ur vids again awesome
I lived in WA Outback abou 12 years back, four hours north east of Kal. We had to make do with what was available cos spare parts was four hours away at Kal. The local tip was known as Mitre 11 cos our first port of call was the tip when in need of parts or bits and pieces. Had a Landrover with a 186 holden six cylinder on the cattle station. No spark, after examination, found it had an aftermarket contactless system on the engine which was producing no spark. Me and my mate visited the local tip. There was a Kingswood HZ with a 202 six cylinder engine, we removed the whole distributor and put it on the 186, Voila, spark and the engine started! Saved us a day driving to Kal for replacement parts and returning.
Brought back so happy memories of our several Simpson Desert crossings -Adelaide to Dalhousie and return, both in the dry and the wet, through the 80’s. Had a 1985 Troopie 11 seater brand new with all the extras, one of 10 that came out as a special edition, still got it and getting close to 200k going strong and never let me down. Too old to do those trips now at mid 80’s and just recovering from a 4th back surgery. Did all those many 4WD expeditions speed the wear and tear on me instead of Troopie? Fantastic times. Thanks for sharing your as it happens video-I know all about it and how to be prepared. Greetings from Tasmania Australia 👍😁🇦🇺🦘
Hahaha hey Kenny I have just watched this video I’m in London just off commercial road and I live in South Australia been an engineer for over 35 years both uk and Aus originally motor trade then aerospace and I can say ya need good bush mechanics and a outside the box attitude, traveled most of Aus and would never move back to England full time!come over n try it out 🤟🍻
Crossed the Simpson in 1995 hilux in group broke all leaf springs Rhonda and husband ran MtDare then gave us access to workshop rebuilt leaf packs form graveyard of wrecks awesome hospitality we then did Madigans line hilux gave continual problems but spares got him out of desert this channel will go off awesome❤
What a story mate! Sometimes the breakages make the best stories, and we're glad you made it across the Madigan in one piece, regardless of the continual problems 😊
Very impressive. Both your expertise and knowledge in completing repairs. Any workshop should be proud to have you both as team members. Keep up the great work.
Nice work folks, seems these modern vehicles a lot more complex than the old stuff I worked with on the Cape many years ago - still the same problems, but harder to fix, lol. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed it so subscribed.
I'd rather have you guys work on my 4x4 than the clean overall brigade at the multi-million dollar dealership in the city. People like you have real world experience and use common sense .
I’ve watched all your travels and enjoyed the can do attitude and adventurous spirit. It’s been a pleasure to be along for the ride. Thank you to you both for the entertainment along with practical lessons. Enjoy your travels. From Macca
Nicely Done, did the Simpson in 1985 and again in 1987, no Mt Dare pub or workshop back then but was well prepared 6 MQ patrols and a short wheelbase Gruiser in 85 and 4 MQ,s in 86.
Im well impressed with your level ,of professionalism, the right tools ,for the right job. Having been on remote properties, in QLD, its amazing how often "Bunnings" comes in handy .
No shortage of work, if you see how city slickers drive on rough roads, its just utter equipment carnage. Up at Cape York, my dad saw this old guy with a new landcruiser, who had driven it so hard on the rough, the engine bay firewall was cracked clean through from one side to the other, utterly destroyed.
Hadn’t seen your channel until I saw this video on my suggested list. Great video love seeing the work shop and the bush repairs. These episodes differentiate you guys other RUclipsrs travelling. Keep them up!
Hello from across the Pacific (the West Coast of the U.S.) Just coming to your channel (from a post in the r/videos sub-Reddit), I can already tell I'm gonna be obsessed with this channel! I got a million questions I'd love to ask you both... maybe a video idea would be to do a Top Ten (or whatever number) of bits of advice you have for folks based off of your repair experiences at Mt. Dare (carrying spares of specific things, lowering your PSI, etc.)?
yeah but thats easy to say you dont always get a choice in when or why something lets go, you could do a service then the next day something lets go or leks. out there even more so completely different story
Doesn't matter where they are I always prefer someone who knows what they're doing and who cares working on my gear. I avoid dealerships like the plague. Good to see two mechanics working so well together.
We to live and play in the bush and I'm enjoying your clips and had to google Finke Desert Race thinking it might be horses or camels but no the bikes and buggies look like a lot more fun.
I suggest a concrete pad with its own washer and it will need its own water supply + big sign “wash before workshop” I guess the short comings of that plan would be water supply. One day I might make it. What sort of fuel supply do people need to cross the Simpson, I had a friend many years ago that took a 200 L drum for the canning and filled up about half way. Loved the video. I think more people might travel, just to get a decent service.
Real cool guys, when I was a truck driver on the local council, we had ex-Army guys come and test our driving for a day. They wanted me to skip gears and just use the brakes to stop, don't go back through the gears this was a tad silly to me brake drums wear out and cost a lot of money to replace. Gear boxes can handle a lot of changes. Great job you guys.
Hey you two are amazing! Good job. I’m very impressed that you have such a range of parts in stock . Hard to cater for so many different vehicles . I guess you get to know what is needed . Gee I know some dealers that don’t stock what you have there . Well done from nz !
Mt Dare stocks a big range for their 79 series, tyres, lots of shocks, nuts and bolts ect but other parts have to get ordered and picked up from Alice Springs, which is a 1100km round trip!
Awesome! I have a 79 1Hz cruiser Great truck , simple no computers , not the most powerful but reliable . Know a guy from Adelaide who had one of those and must’ve been several times around Australia in his one , even though the middle from one side to the other , west to east . Hey all the best guys.
Well how much fun was that??? Loved your show. I was stuck in Katherine in 72 , waiting on vw kombi parts. Great expirence- got a motor off a crash and mad it to Darwin!! Had an old Holden needing motor mounts-- found an abandon roll over and didn't even have to lay on the ground/
G’day and greetings from Tasmania, I reckon your channel is like a breathe of fresh air it’s interesting on what mechanical problems you get it shows how hard the outback Australia is on vehicles. I’m 67 and I have subscribed and look forward to following the channel you all have that great sense of humour. Kind regards John
Worked for WMC around sothern lake eyer (mid 90'S) came across a local station manager with a flat tyre. New tyres fitted in pt Augusta with an impact gun He couldn't undo the wheel nuts Road temps in the 50's. We fixed him up,You can die on the side of the road in that country

"A good indicator that the alternator is knackered is mud on the roof"...... lol, classic.
Rev up & take battery lead orf
Perfect to see lug nuts done to speck rather than a guess like 90% of places do and over tighten the buggers sometimes.
And then you can't get them off somewhere up the track 😢
Isabelle is an absolute star. In fact you’re both fabulous.
Good on ya kids. It is not where you do the work but how you go about it. Looks like you do things correctly without being pretentious. They were all lucky to have you two there.

Been working at Mt dare for 2 weeks now, mainly in the workshop etc, it's definitely an adventure everyday hey 🤣🤣.
Great job guys , your bloody gems. If only city mechanics worked like this, no fuss just get in and get it done
I know guys who dont know what a spanner is for, so its nice to see a woman who knows her stuff.
This woman knows her stuff very well i use to work with her, i would rather a woman work on my vehicle than a bloke who doesn't care :) i know some very good female techs and males too :)😃
What a Great Video. The day in the life of the outback workshop. Some you can fix others you can't. Tyres, Brakes, and Servicing all part of the job.
Thanks! That's exactly right, we can only give it a good go, and if we can't that's what a recovery truck is for.

Good to See that People are carrying there own spares. Great Vid Keep em Coming!
Many prepared travellers do carry spares, which is the smart thing to do. If they don't, they wait a while for parts to arrive from Alice Springs

Very impressive. Both your expertise and knowledge in completing repairs.

Keep up the great work.
Well done both of you. A great dynamic and I am sure everyone appreciates the extra effort at that time of year.
I can see this channel taking off. This feels fully authentic and gives such a great insight into shoplife in the outback, or similar remote setting

Stumbled across you guys and this is great.
Love watching these videos - always interesting, and what a talented crew. Well done guys. 👍
First time running across your channel bloody great content and subscribed 5 minutes in.
G'day guys from tassie.
You guys should do a list of failures for like an 80 series and what to take in parts for the simpson
Really interesting to see the different scopes of work that come through, how you get the job done and get people back on their travels👍
GREAT WORK GUYS!!💥💪
SHINE BRIGHT!!💥🙌👊💜
What a great video. You could work on my car any time. Thanks for your efforts.
That was a very interesting video. Watched it from start to finish. Nice work.
Awesome, thank you!
Nice work guys, thanks.
just discovered this channel. it’s so fricken awesome.
such great mechanics. so nice people.
That was really interesting. Nice to sae two mechanics who do exactly what is needed and do it properly. Keep up the good work.
And no Toyota is not the band it use to be.
Now that's a power couple, good on ya 👍👊❤
Alternator on the 79s the brushes get mud and stick open we do on car pull them out clean and good to go do about 6 a week

My hat off to you both love the banter and the mechanical know how!
Great work . Very enjoyable.
Awesome content, love it! So honest and informative. I would have no issue with you guys working on my car at all
Fantastic work lots of maintenance keeping you busy
Your are hard workers 👍
I suggest a concrete pad with its own washer and it will need its own water supply + big sign “wash before workshop” I guess the short comings of that plan would be water supply. One day I might make it. What sort of fuel supply do people need to cross the Simpson, I had a friend many years ago that took a 200 L drum for the canning and filled up about half way. Loved the video. I think more people might travel, just to get a decent service.
Never been out that way. Awesome to see what u do. Ur very capable u pair. Great vids. K
Great attitude towards your work. Good job your doing out there! Would be nice to meet you both but just to say hi, without needing any work! Thanks
Great guys, I must say watching you guys was quit amazing. So well done 🇦🇺WA🤗🤗

Outback WA - most popular vehicle by far is Landcruiser. Even the mines use Landcruisers. Parts readily available new or used!
Worked for WMC around sothern lake eyer (mid 90'S) came across a local station manager with a flat tyre. New tyres fitted in pt Augusta with an impact gun He couldn't undo the wheel nuts
Road temps in the 50's. We fixed him up,You can die on the side of the road in that country
