    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 😁

    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.

    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

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 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 👍😁🇦🇺🦘

    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.

      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!

    Outback WA - most popular vehicle by far is Landcruiser. Even the mines use Landcruisers. Parts readily available new or used!
