Fantastic walk through video👍
Love watching you guys and especially Jack. Sound is much better now.
Thanks for tuning in Kevin! You guys have made our series all worth it 😁
Hi guys, just started watching and love all the information that you share, keep it coming. Just remember that your towball weight that's added for your gvm is not added again for your gcm, another word's the gcm is the weight of the caravan and the weight of the car, no towball weight because it's already on the van or else you you would be counting the towball weight twice. 😉
Yes agree, it's easier for newbies to understand if you break it down into the three sections discussed, even though the weight can travel from van to car when in combination. :)
You guys are doing great. Sound volume fine for me 👍
Really enjoying watching the build. Great to see another Y62 being set up for touring. I've just about finished mine, just need to be allowed out of Melbourne........
Bet your counting the weeks, days, hours to be let out! Glad you’ve enjoyed the build so far, it’s in the shop at the moment having it’s last ‘big’ changes 😲🤫
You're doing an awesome job on the editing and sound! Maybe you should do your own stickers in merch!?
Hey Darren, we do have stickers! Send us a message on socials for info! We’ll have to include this on YT in an upcoming episode 🙌🏻
Hi guys
All your videos and sound, to me look very professional, Great drone footage and some awesome places, keep up the great work and hope to pass you on our travels one day.
Well, all the way up here in Cairns, the sound is great. Another ripper episode guys. GME radios are terrific, good choice.
Love your videos. No issues with sound.
Gr8 work guys on y62. Sound is good and love the side joke to Sian, sound is on another level. Haha. Be safe.
Thanks Jason 😁
Enjoying your videos and currently living through you guys and a few other youtubers travelling as I am stuck in Vic locked down and cant get out in our new caravan :-( format, content timings and audio are all good.. May want to bring up the audio with the GME (11:27) but nailing end to end production. Keep the content and the adventure coming! Nice rig btw...
I feel for you being cooped up in VIC at the moment! Hopefully once a week we can get you off your sofa and to a holiday destination, even if just for a little while 🌴 💦
Thanks for your feedback on production etc... I think the GME bit was because we were a bit far away! This type of filming (the build) is a bit different to the norm, it’s crazy one small thing (being a little further away from the mic) can make such a difference. It didn’t feel so far away on the day 😂🤦🏼♀️
Thanks for tuning in and watching our journey 🥰🙏🏻
Sound was perfect at my end. Great episode 👌
Sound was prefect.
Sound was fine :-) thanks for your videos so much you guys are awesome. Helps keep us inspired to go on our big lap. We always get a chuckle too Jack is a crack up. Its musy be hard to get things right on the you tub! :-)
Comments like you’re one is why we love to do this! Thanks so much for being a part of our Big Oz family on ‘YouTub’ 😜
🥰🙏🏻
Great videos, no issues with sound here. Thanks for inspirations :)
I’m a bit behind here , but catching up . Wanted to know about your Y62 build. Your bloody brave doing what you’ve done in a caravan park 😳 . I know you get other bigger jobs done out sourced, but even so 🤷♂️. But it’s all come together 👍. Don’t know how I got so far out of sink as I was watching you move out of your home , and now , 🤷♂️ look where you guys are 😃 😎👍
Sound is fine for me! Great episode and nice to see a different car to a Landcruiser for once!
We agree! So many cruisers, they own the market but we hope to help level the playing field out for future buyers... maybe 😏🤷🏼♀️
@@BigOzExplorers That Patrol looks friggin MINT !
No sound issues. Heard you clear as a bell here in the A.C.T. 🤪
Sound was excellent
Sound is heaps better now. Great video guys. Would be great if you could do a video on your rig fully loaded with axle weights to see how it ended up.
It’s coming!! We just have to wait until it’s totally built for a proper ‘to the kg’ fully loaded weight 😁😁 we did our first test weigh the other day over a weigh bridge though... details to come in the next episodes 😉
Hi Big Oz! Just got off the phone to Bob Jane (old mate was a little cranky on the phone for me suggesting he look at your video 😂) and they told me -
1. What are method wheels and method wheels must be a dodgy bloke importing a cinta Inter with cheap rims 😂
2. 295/70/R18 have alignment issues that will never balance and I will have rattles and tyre wear issues
My questions are;
1. How many kms have you so far traveled with your rims and tyre set up
2. what has your experience been with 295/70?
3. Have you had alignment issues specifically?
Thank you - in anticipation of your awesome vids- I’ve hit the “bell” notification 😝
Enjoyed watching sound is fine 👍👍👍👍
Hey guys
Just finished watching this episode. Congratulations guys you are doing a awesome job. The editing is great and audio is fine. Good work and hope to see you guys on the road one day. Take care!
Thanks Chris and I hope we see each other too, we love meeting others! Send us a message on the socials if we are ever passing through your area 😀
Sound was great
Sound was perfect!
Love the rims, audio was perfect for me
Sounds awesome. You guys are just the cutest
Nawww shucks 🙊🙊 thanks for following ☺️
Sound was perfect
Builds coming along nicely guys 🤙🏻
Thank you ☺️🙏🏻
Well done again guys 👍 should have a daily show
We would need a camera crew to keep up the daily show! We would be so busy on the socials and editing that we’d forget to actually travel and make content for you! 😂 if you find us an affordable camera crew, let me know! 😜
Great video, cant wait to see more. if you do what i think you will do i can see myself buying one next year, you doing all the research for me , keep them coming and look forward to you trip.
Haha, glad we can help! It’s always good when someone else does the hard work for you, we’re only half way there yet! Thanks for following 🙌🏻
Sounds was fine
All good Sian 👌 please don’t forget to enjoy your time exploring our country with your family and don’t get too engrossed in getting videos perfect . Well done and happy travels
Thanks Stewart! The day we stop loving and living our travels, is the day I will stop... It defeats the purpose if we can’t enjoy our journey 😁 thanks for following and I hope that never happens 🙌🏻
Great Vlogs, no problem with the sound keep up the good work and great content
Thanks Steve! 😁
Sound all good you are doing an amazing job
Just changed your outfit and your bloody tires! haha I'm keeping that on file lol. You guys are so clever, fitting everything out yourselves. Wheels look wicked and sound is perfect Sian, your YouTub channel rocks. Great job as always legends.
Hahaha love the YouTub reference! Thanks for the support again Lisa! The next episode your going to love ps... 😉 finally!!
Big Oz Explorers 😃😃 Ohhh 😲 Thats sounds exciting!! Even though I love all your vids! 😍🤩 Can’t wait!! 🥳
Sound levels fine, Video content levels awesome !
Those wheels will scrub on a bump on a right turn but with the right lift and moving wheel forward you should be right🤙
Haven’t had any issues on or off-road yet! We haven’t got a lift either ☺️
Sound is good- love what you’re doing
Sounds good 👌🏻 cant wait for the next episode
Another awesome vid guys keep them coming🤙🏻
Audio was great
Thanks ash!
Methods and 35s or 295s are becoming a Y62 standard mod. And the sound was great.
Seems that way! However not all the methods fit the new brake callipers on the S5 like the S4. Thanks for following and the sound feedback ☺️
Sound was fine, what I find annoying is when the music is louder than the dialogue, you’ve got it sweet👍
Yeah I’m not a fan of that either and that’s one thing I try to get right! I don’t want anyone’s eardrums to suffer from it being too loud! Especially those with headphones! 😲 IMO, it’s better to turn it up a bit than be too loud 🙌🏻☺️
Thanks for sharing. Sound was ok. You had a little background noise, but you could still make out clearly your voices. Suggestion: if you have not done so, leave the extra cable for your CB out the front near your arial. When you mount your new bar, they will need the extra cable for the repositioned whip.
Thanks for the sound feedback! ☺️ With the extra wire we have done exactly that! It’s all ziptied in behind the front bumper. Depending where it’s mounted, they may still have to pull it through the grommet again... fingers crossed we’ve left a clean/easy job for them 🙌🏻
Just started watching your series. Have seen a few eps now and really enjoying what you’re doing. Keep it up guys 😎🍻
Ps sound was sweet 🤙🏼
Hey Luke, thanks so much for joining the family and following our journey! Exciting hearing new people find us and enjoy what we have to offer 🙌🏻 look forward to sharing more of our journey as we go around Australia with you ☺️
Great job on sound for my phone.
Sound was good. Except for when the two of you were explaining the UHF kit.
Car is looking great with its new shoes.
Thanks mate! 😁 hopefully next video will be on point! 🙌🏻
Damn that thing looks sick. Great Video as always really loving them.
Pst.. Hey i looked and none of those boxes said Harrop.
😂😂
Sounds great
Sound is good
It was the 7t mass people were saying is impossible to have legally. If ur car is 3.5t then u can’t add 3.5t caravan on it because of added towball weight. There for the car when towing could only b 3.2t if the caravan had a 300kg ball weight. Without the caravan on u can b 3.5t in the car. Think I just confused myself haha must b a challenge for u guys to get right. Channels looking good 👍
Exactly. There’s no possible legal way that their setup can weigh 7T. Just because the tow ball weight is added to the GVM, doesn’t mean you can then take it away from your van. The van when weighed by itself can still weigh no more than 3.5T, that’s the max braked towing capacity for the vehicle. It’s not all bad though, because they can get a GVM upgrade which would then allow the extra 300kg to be used up to reach the 7T GCM. I really hope they are not assuming that they can now tow over a 3.5T van because the ball weight is transferred to the van. You absolutely can’t.
It’s always a challenge to try and explain something simply, we had enough difficultly learning it in the beginning let alone trying to relay it lol! You could have a 3.5t car without the van, your right, but that would lead to trouble when you hook up the van! As GVM is based on the car ‘as it stands’ on the road, technically the ball weight is a part of the GVM, so 7t is achievable. Ball weight shouldn’t be a separate figure when in combination... I hate sounding argumentative, I used to have the same questions when we were learning at the beginning 💁🏼♀️ it’s a what came first, the chicken or the egg situation I think! It’s what the transport department says that we all have to abide by! ☺️ Thanks again for commenting, following and interesting conversation 🙌🏻
@@BigOzExplorers Sorry guys but like Dale says and I have said before a 7T GCM is not achievable , well not legally I know people keep stating the GCM is 7T , just on the FB page someone has said just that , can you explain how you could possibly have a 7T GCM and not have either the Patrol or the Van over weight ,
My question is and I think a lot of people are thinking the same but what is your tare weight with the four of you guys in it and a full tank of juice as if you keep adding all this stuff your going to run out of payload pretty quick and still going to want to add on a ball weight. I’ve been doing a lil add up as you go and think your going to run out pretty quick.
Ass the 62’s are a pretty heavy beast to start with can’t wait to see a weight bridge doc.
Big Oz Explorers We’ll just have to agree to disagree on this one. 7T is only achievable if your van is heavier than 3.5T (when weighed by itself off the vehicle). This exceeds your vehicles maximum braked towing capacity. You can’t add the ball weight figure to your max braked towing capacity. Ball weight is a downwards force. Max braked towing capacity is about forward to aft force when you hit the brakes. If you have an accident and the insurance company decide to weigh your van by itself and it’s over 3.5T, your insurance will be void. It’s not about what QLD transport say, it’s about that label on your vehicle that says max braked towing capacity and understanding what that means. It’s about the weight of the thing you’re towing, unhitched. Not once it’s on the vehicle. Really enjoy your content and look forward to the rest of your vids 👍
Hey guys im new to the channel. Love the content and look forward to seeing the results of the s5 ti build👌 sound was good as well
That’s awesome Ryan and welcome! Hope you enjoy all we have to share ☺️☺️
Sounds was good!
I belive in some states you'll need to prove that drawers are easily removed (which they are ) :)
Phew... Lucky! 🍀👌🏻
As an Ex professional sound engineer the biggest mistake all vlogers make is their inconsistent sound levels. If you run a limiter on the main bus channel it can help.
Just remember all recording music is already mastered and will therefore seem a lot louder. Not sure what you are doing your sound on but if you can route your prerecorded music via a seperate bus it would be helpful.
Have learnt all these things now, had no idea pre this video months ago! ☺️
audio was good. one thing to keep in mind is distance away from mic.( Proximity effect and Gain)
Thanks Ashley! 😁
Hey guys the sound was okay for me and I like the patrol buy the way I’m a Nissan man too
Go the Patrols! 😁
Nailed this one vid sound everything
Yewww 😜
Uhf should always be connected direct to the battery.. that way in an emergency you can use it without turning on the acc.. also the uhf shouldn’t flatten your battery if it’s left on for a week. Ours is left on 24/7 and have never had issue with the battery being drained.
Good to see you chose an Aussie made UHF in GME 👍🏻
Why did you choose the Dick Cepeks over say a Toyo, Nitto or Yokohamas which all seem to be coming popular in the Y62 world.
We love our Aussie brands 🙌🏻 🇦🇺
Tyres were because of research on the dick cepeks and the quality/road noise/value for money/km wear and tear etc... it was between these and the Yokohama’s but, availability was what helped us make the final choice! If you’ve seen much of our series, you’ll see a trend where we tend to try something different from the crowd where we can! Hopefully this helps others make an informed choice with a bit of different research/info 😁
No issues with sound
I've got 295/70/18 on the stock rim Nitto ridge grapplers and right full lock it scrubs but not left full lock, it's a series 4 though, not sure if that makes a difference. Sounds was great too.
True!! The tire guy did say to us that sometimes there are slight variations in the build of a car and there is a possibility of being ‘that car’ That scrubs, I’m really glad we are fortunate enough not to be! 🥰 hope yours doesn’t cause you any trouble 🙏🏻
Sound ok
I always just miss the premiers lol
Haha one day! 😁
Is your suspension standard?
Air bags for the van ball weight?
It’s standard at the moment but it’s being upgraded in the next couple of episodes 😃
Hi guys, love your videos!!!
Just wondering if the spare tyre did fit underneath deflated??
I’m hearing from some tyre shops that a 295 won’t fit if you have a tow bar.
Definitely! We have had a Dick Cepek and now Yokohama 295/70/18 under there no issues. Fully deflated is the easiest. Takes a little manoeuvring if not on level ground. 🤙🏼
Hi guys, when you fitted the tires, was the car completely stock standard? i.e. no suspension or anything? I'm also thinking about getting that size tire, looks great.
Yes it was totally stock, no springs/airbags etc yet and worked a treat. It was close on full lock and we’ve heard some have a very slight scrub but for us personally we had about 1cm leeway on full lock steering in the front 😁
Hi guys enjoying your videos just some questions one putting the bigger tyres & wheels did it change your fuel economy, & did it change the speedometer reading ........cheers .
I know another company who would be happy to help. And there stuff is good and they can spell. And I'm hearing so many good things about the Y62. Make
me wish I didn't sell my GQ which i drooped a V8 into
Feel free to send details through via socials! We’ll need another printer at some stage 👍🏻 never too late to buy another Nissan 😉
@@BigOzExplorers Im sold on the Ram 1500 but have to wait till next year now. Some really good off-road options are about to drop for the Truck. And my days of wheeling hard are over. Could have owned a Ram 20 years ago with the amount of money I have spent building and fixing 4x4's.Travel safe and keep up the good work with uploads...
Hi guys, just trying to find the numberplate UHF aerial holder you put on the patrol temporarily until your bull arrived came through, also you had it on your Ranger. I cannot find anything anywhere. Could you direct me to the correct site etc as this is exactly what we want for our Jeep Grand Cherokee. Thanks in advance....Brian
Hey Liz, here is a link to it! It would’ve been a hard one to find because it’s actually meant to hold extra lights on the front of the car rather than a UHF aerial! www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/sca-sca-driving-light---mounting-bracket/520665.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiAx9mABhD0ARIsAEfpavRDWeSqdW3CqqgFgXpsMb-4JZZ0ntHYLfbxtqjUo0XFZR1oKw_psQoaAlTbEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
Hi, yes the video was great but the sound does need to be evened up. I found I had to increase the volume to hear you but then when you played some music it blasted the neighbourhood. Hope this can be sorted out. Apart from that, 10 out of 10.
Thanks Paul! You’ll find our later videos are much better now 😁😁
I like how the Patrol has a 7000kg GCM. This is undone with the 3500 towing capacity, as a 3.5T caravan will have a (go with 10% as standard - 350kg) ball weight. Take that off the 785kg payload, and you're left with 435kg......not much left for a bullbar, winch, lights, fridge. etc', etc'. Not to mention passengers and luggage......
Is a GVM upgrade available for the Patrol??
Same applies for a 200 though, they all loose the ball weight in the GVM when in combination, standard stuff. GVM upgrades are available! We’ll be talking more about this in a coming episode ☺️
You are now BigOZ YouTub hahaha Good job !
Ohhh and your sound is "on point" and your GVM / GCM is too :)
😂😂
Only sound issue was any distant stuff i.e. when talking about the UHF pack. Are you using a Bluetooth microphone?
If the tyres have the potential to scrub, is the rolling diameter therefore bigger and as a result speedo and trip data will be out?
Hey David, yes I agree in the UHF bit! We need a portable mic really for this stuff but it’s not normal content on our channel so we’re learning as we go!
Based on the size increase from 265/70/18 to 295/70/18, the increase in speed will be approx 5km/hr faster than when the speedo reads 100km/hr... the numbers vary depending on speed though... still within legal limits, but it is something to be wary of when increasing tyre size. We had the same increase in the Ranger also, so we’re used to accounting for it in our speed 🙌🏻
Guys were the rims and tyres as fitted in this video with stock suspension ?
Yes 100% stock at this point, we added coils at a later date through ARB with a bulk of other stuff in a later episode :)
@@BigOzExplorers Awesome, and that tyre and rim combo does not stick out from the fenders ?
No it was perfect! We are all about staying legal for insurance purposes 👍🏻
What video editing software are you using? Your videos are great!
We use Adobe Premier Pro 😁🙌🏻
Hi mate just wondering if the exact same tye and rim for spare fit underneath deflated?
It does when deflated but it’s tight! Takes a bit of manoeuvring but 109% doable :) we left ours on the roof for the Cape and clearance
@@BigOzExplorers thanks mate. Have a safe 2021. Thanks for the vid. Hoping to get y62 at the end of this year
Hi guys, great job. Congratulations on the new car!
I’ve fitted a few accessories in my time and am a little concerned with how you have installed the uhf.
I usually never mount anything near or above the pedals.
Cables or the unit could interfere with braking or acceleration.
Passenger side is a much safer option.
Take care guys.
We always do passenger normally too but the drivers side grommet was much easier to access. There are a lot of zip ties in place and nothing would ever be in the way of pedals etc. if you’ve watched many of our episodes you’ll know how much we like to be safe and legal being on the road 24/7 👍🏻 Thanks for your feedback regardless and watching our journey! 🙌🏻
Sound was fine,another great vid looking forward to the next episode,are the tyres A/T and is the stud pattern on the wheels the same as the van.
Yes they are an AT tyre. The stud pattern we’re honestly not sure about but the tyre themselves are a very different size, we’d have some serious scrub under the caravan 🤪
Sound was quite when showing the uhf and Mount
Sound quality excellent. Really enjoyed content. Sian just a question do you have a background in the automotive industry, as you seem to have a very good understanding. Thanks
Hey Dave, Sian here! No I don’t have a background in it for work, but I do a LOT of research and asking of questions to get the info we need from the right people and give it to you guys... I love numbers and technicalities lol... I’m a tomboy at heart and have been around cars most of my days so I have background on a personal front I guess? I don’t like all the fluff on RUclips and how varied opinions can be so we want to be honest and fluid and tell it as it is. If the car isn’t fuel efficient or we go over weigh for eg, we will tell you... I have some small time acting experience so the words probably fall out freely in front of a camera and I guess that helps too ☺️ thanks for following... I’ve seen your name before and remember as we have a family member with the same name! ☺️
Sounds great. Enjoying the videos. What was the UHF radio you went with. I didn't see a model number and are you happy with it? Cheers
Hey Joel, we went with a GME XRS-330C XRS Connect Super Compact UHF which comes in a touring pack that includes the 6.6db whip/antenna. We’re very happy with it so far, it’s on all the time and we have had a chance to use it on the road a few times now. Sound/volumes is AWESOME, so much better than the old school radios that kill your eardrums! Usability it simple and straightforward.. plus Aussie made 🇦🇺 thanks for tuning in!
Hi Chris. Great videos mate. Just placed an order for a new Ti-L and I'm interested in how your Method 314 rims are going in terms how they handle getting roughed up with rocks etc. Also, how is the road noise with the Trail Country EXPs? Thanks for your help.
Hey mate, the rims have had a few scuffs but the gloss titanium colour are great as they don’t show up very much! The tyres are reasonably quiet compared to the standard ones that were on there really, it doesn’t t feel it sound like a mud tyre on highways 👌🏻
@@BigOzExplorers Thanks mate. The rims do look great. 7 weeks to go before our truck arrives. Stay safe.
Looks epic mate! Do you remember the offset of these rims! Thinking of putting these on my new S5 also!
Thank you! They are pos 18 🤙🏼
Hi guys have followed you for some time now, have towed our van with a Disco 4 for almost ten years & have purchased a new y62 Ti, thanks for all you reviews/vehicle rundowns etc. I have a question in regards to the super cheap number plate mount you used for your UHF aerial, would it be suitable to use as a permanent fixture as not intending to replace bumper with bull bar, my concern is the aerial weight, potential issues with corrugations/vibrations etc. would appreciate your input.
mean while tow pro & Anderson plug installed, rear draws going in soon (fourbyfitout) & duel battery fit & then air bag man to follow if all goes well covid wise etc we will be on our way up Nth mid to late April
Kind Regards
Rob
Hey Rob, the only reason we knew about the aerial holder was because we had one on the ranger for about 3 years with an even bigger antenna. It can definitely withstand off road and consistent use! A great cheap fix. You can also get a small bracket from Autobarn that is made to suit a car that sits in the front of your bonnet, depends what size antenna your going to have and your height clearance needs though as the bonnet mount sits higher than the number plate one? We have now opted for a window mount which is invisible. Highly recommend if your open to being a little different. Great to hear we've been able to help so much with your build, thanks for letting us know! You'll have to send us some photos on socials when you've completed it. www.gme.net.au/au/antennas/ae5004/
Does your car have a lift ?
Yes, we have a 2" lift. This was done later though (after our build series) so what you watched here, it wasn't lifted yet.
Hey guys just rewatching some of your old episodes. Do you know what offset your rims are? I’m thinking +30. Cheers and keep up the great work #beersforbigoz 👍🏻🍻🍻
Hey Brad, they’re +18 but the thing to consider with the S5 is that they moved the brake callipers and a lot of rims won’t fit now, it’s a bloody tight squeeze in there! Try to do a test fit for whatever you choose first and hope for the best lol🤞🏻
Cheers by the way 😉 🍺 🍺🍺
Listening on my mobile is sound was okay to good. It's really because I think you have a single mic you are talking to and not a Bluetooth collar mic or something full on like that. Unless your trying to get a Emmy, I would focus on the content more IMHO. Your doing it all on a go-pros?
Thanks Jason for the honest feedback! We don’t want an Emmy lol but we do want it to be enjoyable, seems we’ve got a good balance now! All through gopro, drone and the odd phone video ☺️🙌🏻
@@BigOzExplorers yeap.. enjoyable it is.. now for some more free camp episodes coming in from windy locations
👍👌
🙌🏻😁
Instead of buying new rims could you have put the new tyres on the existing rims from Nissan?
We could of and I suggested powder coating them to Chris as well, but we both wanted a different look to what they would give the car!
You definitely need an audio technician
It’s all much better now, this was some time ago ☺️
Gcm vcm bcm so confusing :)
It really is! But so necessary lol 😅 📊
At 11 min.... cannot hear a word, your to far from the Mic.. rest of the time its fine
Thanks Adrian! 😁
I'm a bit surprised you have gone with a larger diameter tyre on a vehicle that is being set up as a Touring / Towing vehicle , a 295 tyre is a little over 40mm larger in diameter than the 265 , it will have a negative impact on performance , fuel economy especially towing , I guess it will go halfway to correcting the speedo error , have you noticed the speedo is about 9% fast the odometer is correct with std size tyres . Also you have added probably over 100kg in weight in just the tyres , a std 62 wheel and tyre is about 35kg , maybe the new wheels are lighter than the std ones . My 62 is mostly for touring , I don't use it for everyday driving so I have stuck to std wheels and std size tyres for that reason , I have changed to a Lt tyre . The Vic Highcountry is my back yard , I haven't had any problems on the tracks I have driven so far with std size tyres , I even did a few trips with no problems on the stock Duelers .
Regards Jacko
We are aware of all those figures/details you’ve popped above, we do a lot of research before we make choices! It’s not the perfect setup for everyone but it’s perfect for us. I guess it just comes down to personal preference 🙌🏻😁
Flicking that steak knife around above your kid isn’t smart lol
We were waiting for the comment and you got it! We had bets if someone would say it, looks a worse angle than it was 🤪
Big Oz Explorers lol jackpot
Big Oz Explorers make sure u mention me on one of your vids lol
Talks about legality of tyres and then goes and blocks visibility of the number plate with an antenna.......
We thought the same back in the day as the Ranger was the same set up and no officer or speeding fine was ever misplaced let me tell you, they’re readable lol 😂
@@BigOzExplorers just to clarify I care very little about the legality, just pointing it out.
Sound was low. Had to turn it quit a bit to hear.
Really! Seemed like we got it right this episode for most watchers! 🙁
@@BigOzExplorers oof. Idk. I mean not the whole episode was low. There was parts that were of better quality. Like u started off strong when revealing the wheels. Then when he was describing the gvw, wheels nd tires it was low. Everything after that was good until the uhf then it became low again. Soon after that was it good again. I mean i don't mind I have a sound bar. I just would turn it up, then turn it down as needed. Now this is my honest nd humble opinion. But I watch a lot of RUclips vids nd I've noticed the ones that r mic'd up usually have the best quality throughout. I think with an external camera mic its better for vlog'ing nd in urface style filming nd not shooting from a distance. So it comes down to distance nd voice projection for an external mic. U know. Nd I've also noticed with the go pros u can hear them better when they r behind the go pro. Then they turn it around nd its not as loud unless the have the external mic on it. Now these r just pure observations nd speculations. But love the content. Excited to see wat else u have planned for the patrol. 🤙
Stop talking so much just get on with the show
😂😂
