Hey legends! Crystal creek rockslides is our first stop, there’s nothing better than natures waterslides! But from there it’s bad news this week!! We hit the weight bridge to find out some bad news…. At least our destination is Australia’s best free camp, Notch Point! We continue to make our way south through 1770 and Agnes Waters where we have our first ocean swim in over 6 months! We finish up at middle beach through the coolest little 4wd track!
Check out our WEBSITE HERE at www.lilandjake.com and treat yourself to some new EASTSIDE clothing and stickers!

Thankyou for another entertaining weekend starter, you never disappoint love you guys
Cheers legend! We ❤️ you!
That's a good thing to keep in mind before going away for an extended trip like you guys did. A dry run is a good way to test things out, like handling and weight distribution.
A quick way to do some weights is to load up and go to the local tip where most have a weighbridge at the entrance, otherwise, there are mobile scale businesses that come to you to weigh cars/caravans for a small fee.
Yea true! I think it was just an accumulation of stuff in the wrong spot! We were under once upon a time and back under again now though!
Love it guys, Angus Water is an awesome place
Keep up the running Lily doing very well. Jake keep the rest days coming, your on track in training too!
You guys are nuts but so much fun to follow love it ❤
Awww damn! That’s so nice, we’ll keep ‘Em coming. 🤩
Nature provides all you'll need!
Love this videoooo!! Running kit looks elite 🫶🏼
Awwwww, 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 And girl! You’ve got to run in style! 😍
Another great video, love your attitudes on life. Fun not boring 👍
We ditched one draw, some shoes Lil and tools which were doubled up. Also we reduce gas bottles to the smaller ones as our fridge doesn’t run on gas and one large bottle lasted us 6mnths using fires etc.
Thanks so much legend!! You’re absolutely right, we need to do some culling. Yeah, how good is cooking on the fire! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
G'day you two,,,,, We watch you episodes every week but rarley do I drop you a comment ....The facial expressions are gold -they make us laugh and smile ..thanks for making our Sunday arvo's entertaining
A jar of Tiger Balm from the shops is the best thing for midge bites and works quickly
Ohhhh great tip!! We will have to have a squiz for some. 👌🏼
We really enjoy your channel. Drove past big crystal yesterday with a similar rig to you. Amarok towing aor quantum with a high side 3.7m tinny on the roof. Just under gvm and heaps left for gcm. This video is so important for awareness in legality and safety. Keep it up.
You two are definitely not the only ones in the overweight boat. This is why everyone should get their set-ups weighed when fully loaded.
To be fair, I only found out by chance about eight months ago, that my 4WD and van has been at least, at least 300kg overweight for the last 10 years. I was in shock for a month. Tray and canopy are aluminium, only use plastic crates for storage, no drawers, no winch, two fridges empty at time of weighing. I’m not going gvm upgrade, I’m selling, giving away sending home or binning a heap. Clear ya rig, clear your mind. You guys are awesome and don’t let anyone tell you different..😆
That's heavy Brian, no pun intended, we all want to travel with whatever creature comforts we want but it eventually comes down to need not want hey! ❤️
Lil and Jake, just add water for instant smiles. 😁The tracks you go no gvm upgrade is a good excuse to stay lighter and the Itech battery monitor with shunt would be perfect to keep an eye on your batteries. 😉 The sudden ending caught me out, another great start to my weekend.🤩😍🥰
I know!!!! That’s exactly what we needed I think, some salty water swims! Gosh we’ve missed that. 🙌🏼 you’re so right, we’d love a GVM upgrade. Saving up atm, they’re so expensive! 😂 that’s so nice!!! Hope you have a great one Mark! 😍
@@lilandjake I feel your pain with the tools Jake, they're like children in that you love them all unconditionally. 😂Everybody madly googling Blue Tongue X13 tow ball weight, or was that just me. 🤣🤣🤣
but for how much they have traveled they have done a great job, I would say better then some that are under weight
I loved your episode I also love how honest you guys are keep it up 💜Can’t wait until the next one
Thank you, that really means a lot to us!! Can’t wait to keep bringing you more fun eps! 😍😍😍
Hi Lil and Jake, weather report from Hobart, Pouring Rain🌧️ good on you having a clear out, loved the cows on the beach, midges are so bad, try putting an ice pack on them, you will be so marathon ready Lil, go girl. Stay safe, have fun. 😌
Just watched first video of u guys ....great stuff. 'keep'in it Real '...Had a good laugh. 'Notchie" is just down the road for us and we've camped there many times. There can be 300 trailers there over an Easter weekend.
Haha you’ve been eating too much Maccas and KFC!!🤣🤣
Yes Heffas enjoy sun baking too😝😝
Nothing will ever defeat @Lilnjake
Hey guys. Wow Jake you are so brave telling lil she has to get rid of some shoe or is it just that you know she won’t beat you in front of the camera. Another great video. Thanks
Hey Jake, with your Dobinsons shockies, 300kg constant and airbags you should be able to get a 10% gvm upgrade. If your still at Fraser Island there’s an engineer just back at Maryborough, Luke from transmod, give him a call. Think it was around $700-800.
Yea ok? I'll do some research, might have to give him a ring! 🍻
A big thank you for sharing a other fantastic video really enjoyed it. That water hole really looks amazing with a very cool slide is well. It sucks you both have to get rid of some weight off your Ranger . Only problem is you probably going to need it sometime then you won’t have it. Some very nice camp spots. It’s great to see Lily you are doing some driving very cool. So looking forward to seeing you both next Saturday night
Hi guys, we have the xh15 and the same weight challenges. The ball download might only be 200kg, but it might add 300 to your rear axle . As others have said, most van outfits are in the same boat.
the single axle is too far back just from looking at it, always going to be a challenge, and they have a lot of weigh hanging off the back of the van and still over ball weight
The axle on that van is so far back, no wonder you have 300kgs on the ball😮
We enjoy following you guys. Your ball weight should be 10% off your GTM. And your ball weight is part of your GVM. Don't forget that ATM is GTM plus ball weight. Keep having fun and making those RUclips posts.❤
I usually park the van on that concrete pad you get the best views from up there
How good is ya running style, Lil, haha, your support man is the key, when after a run he tells ya, U look great haha. And yes midgies sux. Make a Dettol and baby oil spray up, we used to use that when we lived in Katherine, and fished up at Kakadu.
Hope you enjoyed your sweet potatoes! 😋
Cheers legend! Keep your eye out for a shout out in a couple of videos!
I have lived in places with midges and the trick to not get bitten is to eat lots of Vegemite. I don't know how it works but it does. Keep up the good work guys.
Hi guys looking good. What video has the engine bracket you made for the boat engine.
Hey guys. We’ve all been there with the tools and bolts etc. I ditched my drawers and a bunch of other stuff and saved 250 kg in weight. Yeah, it’s not as convenient without drawers and there may be a time when the thing you need isn’t there anymore. On the plus side. I’ve picked up some extra fuel savings and the Cruiser drives nicer. Travel safe 😊😊
You’re absolutely right!! There’s a lot we can do to save some kgs. Yiew!!! Something better than a logger car for some better fuel economy! 🙌🏼
That slow mo was classic.
You guys are so cool 😎 don't let misso come between you and your tools if she wants you to lose some of your tools she has to lose some of her shoes 👟 I think 💭 that guy was a axe 🪓 murderer he looked a bit dodgy cheers legends ☺️
Hey guys , so how many kilos did you manage to get rid of ? Can't see the final weight !
"What if I have an apprentice" - perfect.
Good job guy's just be careful that you don't go over the Axle
Rating weight loading the van up 😉
Dude that draw is ridiculous 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I know which tool I'd be sending home Lil!
😂😂
What a nice thing to say
If you already have the suspension and can shop the receipt or information about it. There is a guy in Brisbane that can give you a 10% gvm upgrade for $180.
ASB Engineering
Ohhh that’s such a good tip!! Thanks for that legend, we will definitely keep it in mind. 👌🏼
First the tractor and now the tools,where does it end 🤔🤣🤣🤣
Mate, tell me about it! Next it will be my free will
Hey you two, what was the name of the first place you were at with the rock slide? Phil
Absolutely, it’s so cool hey. It’s called Little Crystal Creek! 🤩
I was watching some travel hacks, spray your flyscreen with bug spray before bed. Apparently it kills them as they try get it.
Leave max trax on your vehicle incase you go somewhere without the van and get bogged
Hi guys enjoy all your vids thought I’d share this with you saw it on a vid regarding miidgie bites if you put a spoon in hot water and let heat the spoon up as hot as you can take it then press it on the bite holding for a while then it will get rid of the itch it seemed to have work might be worth a try to see if does work costs nothing keep on keeping on
Dunno what your options are but a GVM upgrade might be $700 in Qld. And you can just send through your set up tyres, suspension etc and he can let u no what your entitled too. Let me no if u want the number
Enjoyed the episode! Thank you!
I feel and see your pain and frustration regarding the tools Lil! 🤣. Big issue in our relationship as well 🫣🫣🤣🤣
Gosh!!!! Isn’t it ridiculous, there’s soooo many tools. 😭😭😭
Time for a garage sale 😂
doing the cull on your gear, perhaps you couldve measured the car height in that location before and after to see if you actually did make any gains?
Yea I did film a bit with that but just didn't think it was interesting, car sits level without the airbags now!
Hey Guys, can you not just buy a couple of tool boxes from Bunnings medium sizes then you can take that huge drawer out and throw it away. What you can’t get in the new toolboxes send back home. Great video shame about the midges. Good Luck😅😅
If your van weighs 3 tonne. You need about 300kg of ball weight. 150kg could lead to a tragic outcome for you. Please keep it at 8-12% of your caravan weight.
Hasn’t been used in 6 months fling it
Hey Lil. My wife loves your necklace, she asked me to ask you what brand it is?
Oh thank you so much! It’s from Arms of Eve! 😍
Thanks Lil. Keep the awesome vids coming and travel safe 😃
How's training for that marathon going lil?
It’s actually going really well!! So fingers crossed I can keep it up for the new few months. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Not the tools! 😅
What’s goin on guy’s, ya missed the whales, those poor cows were obviously beached & no one tried to put them back in the ocean, a pretty lady playin with a mans tools like that has got to mean trouble, give her that good shunt she wants & you will both be happy travellers. Gr8 ep guy’s. Cheers
How's marathon training going Lil 😂😅
Hahahah! It’s actually going really well! No injury upsets so far. Phew 😮💨
Gday guys. You two are ridiculous n quirky as. It’s really cool to watch. I really dunno why!?
As for shitter paper, u r so right. All these ppl gettin round with their akubra, but can’t dispose of their paper. Burying doesn’t really work. Animals generally dig it up. Since I was a kid, I was taught to clear a small area, dig a small hole, shit in said hole, bury it n burn the paper on top. No, it doesn’t start fires, because I’m not an idiot! Well most of the time.
Funny u only just sorted the weight issue now, ur Ute has been wheel standing for ages.
Anyways, I enjoy ur ridiculous content, keep enjoying ur adventures. Cheers 👍🍻🎯
Also, please don’t do shakas, too many wankers out there shakaing everywhere, no u two are way cooler than that 🤷🏿♂️👍
Guys, stop thinking of GVM upgrades. Weight is the enemy even without legal limits, so get it down. But you have been too vague about what weighbridge measurements you got other than the ball wt of 300+ kg. Get weight down and you will go further and more confidently and more reliably…weight puts a huge strain on everything, not just on the suspension and drivetrain.
Yea your right legend, gotta be vague for legal reasons sorry, would be silly of us to clearly post how much our setup weighs. But for sure your right, we're not trying to push limits that's for sure!
Hey guys, you both look very fit but I think Lil looks the fittest.also she is better looking than you Jake. Being a bloke may make me a bit biased but I’m sure Lil also looks better in her bikini. Mind you no offence Jake I really don’t think we want to see you in a bikini 😂😂. Great video guys. I think your ford is amazing the things you put it through are quite harsh but it keeps going on and on. Keep up the good work you two you always make me laugh. Thanks guys 🎉😊 John
So guys, what are you going to do? 300kg ball weight is way to much I would think, interested to know what your van weighed, what it’s ATM… what did the car weigh on its own? What is your rear axle load? It looks like you have put a lot weight on the back bar, what’s that rated at? Great watching you guys, hope you work it out…
You need between 8 and 10% if your caravan weight as your ball weight. If that van weighs 3 tonne, you need 300kg of ball weight.
GVM up grade comes of your GCM I really think you are a lot more over than you think get professional to weight your set up 😮
Cheers legend, the whole combination weighs about 5.4, and the ranger has a gcm of 6t, but with a bit of moving stuff around we are back under gvm!
Your the happy couple I would hate to see you paying a fine that would dampen things for you stay safe 😊
Are you heading home or doing another lap
You can save 40kgs but Lithium is now illegal to run in a van
Omg,
Please do yourself a favour and actually read the legislation if you feel the need to comment misinformation.
It is not illegal to run lithium at all!
@@bradgiles3801
Done the research required to inform the above statement is a fact!
@@jamiesullivan8900ok lol, it is not at all.
Only new installs must have the batteries separated from living space. This can still be inside the van but must be “sealed from the living space”
@@bradgiles3801 give it a rest champ. That is what the above statement suggests! It is true and factual.
@@jamiesullivan8900give it a rest? Why when the information you are saying is completely wrong.
It is not illegal to “run lithium in a van” as you say at all, end of story!
Probably work better 300kg off that rear axle
Taking anything out of the back of your ute isn't going to lower the ball weight. It's gunna hafta come out if the front of the van.
You need 2 files and all your tools.
the minute you get rid of tools is the time you will need them. don't do it!!!!!!
Lol as if you didn't know you where over weight, tinny on the roof, tub full of stuff and ball weight from the van. 😅😅
Oh these two are comical in relation to their disregard for the legalities of towing. Don't get me wrong, they're a sweet couple but what I've heard is:
We aren't supposed to camp here but we will
We aren't supposed to take a van here but we will
Now, we didn't know what we weighed
Do you see a pattern?
Basically I think we are being played, but what the fvck, every RUclipsr probably does it.
They're nice kids and I wish them well but I'm out now.
No, I'm not announcing my exit so no comments required!😂
Isn't that what youtubes about? Entertainment?
All good, bye for now, not forever!
The amount of overweight rigs is ridiculous. Too many people take too much crap away and actually believe the bullshite towing figures of their vehicles and the ATM of their vans. Salesman will tell all sorts of crap to make a sale and most punters believe him!!!
Loos the tool it’s so over rated when you don’t have the spare parts to fix the brake down. Then the tool are just a dead weight then.
That was an odd ending this week. While your on your weight loss kick, you might get Lil to check out those weighty balls Jake... 🫣🤣 And where was the bogging episode this week? What is the recommended ball weight anyway? I know the answer Jake. Get yourself another outboard motor and put it next to the one you already have, that will lift the ball weight! 🤣🤣🤣. If you get the scuba tank I was telling you about last week you could probably ditch half the tools...All those tires...What a let down this week!😇🤣🤣🤣🤣
And get rid of the hats...you don't need them while you're driving anyway...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I keep telling you that.🤣😇 It's great that you are doing your marathon prep Lil, So proud of you, but do NOT take your phone with you when you run and especially don't keep it near you breasts or legs. I've watched a program on here where a female doctor was giving an seminar at a doctors conference. She was saying how she had to do surgery on a lady that kept putting her phone in her bra. The doctor had to excise all the tumours out of her breast under the post where she puts her phone. The theory is that as you move around, whether running or driving, the phone needs to keep pinging off towers and this is when the antennae of the phone have to work the hardest boosting the power in the phone. If you need to stray in touch, which I don't think you really need to, then I'd buy a watch. Jake can always message/call you on that. This way you will only end up loosing a wrist from surgery, not the best parts of your body.🤣 Any way, just saying. Look up the doctor on RUclips and watch he video for yourself and see watch you think about it. Have a great week guys! Stay safe. Apologies for all the emoji this week.
