that reminds so much of my EA Fairmont wagon! me and a mate took it up and over the baryugal mountain range, only got stopped by a huge river crossing & we ran out of daylight, so had no choice but to turn around and go back up and over - which a completly stocko EA Monty did rather well!
Ah! My EA wagon is gone. I now have an El sedan that i will be building up! The AU with IRS would maybe be the best thing for this. There is no diff pumpkin hanging in the way and being an XR8 diff housing (standard m86 i think??), you can get lockers for them. It negates the need for giant tyres. This is why i love Subarus (what i use for serious stuff), can do heaps of rutted stuff because you wont get hung up on a diff. I prefer the E series so will toy with this. If the diff keeps getting in the way i will look at an IRS conversion. See how i go!
Love your clips and do you still have the RTV's? also wondering which on has the LSD and which has the diff lock. My 2004 version has the LSD with a diff lock switch.
I've got to ask the question. Why? LOL The bf all terrains are worth more than the car LOL. I guess they still both flex better than a 79 Series landcruiser.
Robert Jefferies Hey there! In my old ea in the video, I had put in AU front struts (no real lift) and a 10mm strut top spacer. This.have 20mm lift. Whatever size spacer you put on the top, it will be x2 in terms of lift. The rear had some 50x50 shs between the body and the rear leaf spring mount. That gave about 20mm aswell. It's the opposite here, you get half of what you add. The remaining lift is in the tyres. The AU has full suspension from an RTV Ute. I now run an almost identical setup in an EL sedan. If you're on Facebook, you can join the offroad falcon club run by us, best thing for any questions and things! But do let me know if you need to know more here.
Hi there! I have a BA RTV wagon these days. Did you convert yours to awd?!!! The snorkel is a genuine TJM product, they make them for BA aswell but I they're made to order.
@@raymondmccarthy6301 fantastic! Yours would be the second awd wagon I know about! Awesome! Been wanting to do it to mine but haven't got to it yet. Are you on facebook by any chance?
Either the EA's engine is more than just rattly, or the box is slipping terribly. Not being able to spin the wheels on dirt. Still, impressive driving. I
Hi there. Thanks! Track is very steep in that section and the muddies had latched onto the rock very well. Car has done nearly 350xxxkms and is daily driven but im not sure how old the gearbox is. I have been towing all week with no issues and it works and behaves perfectly. Its just one of those things
Both need different techniques over different terrain however on that day they both went as good as each other. But given the clearance of the AU, he could take more agressive lines and pull through no worries so if i had to pick, it would be the locker. The lsd did go very very well especially when coupled with agressive tyres, almost no real difference.
It's great to see the old Falcons bumping around on rough tracks. That AU is pretty handy.

the falcon if such a legendary car. it's such a shame that it's basically out of production at this point

Haha awesome, where did you see us? Cheers!
+Interceptor508
out the back of mt dale at the little dam we were cooking lunch in the lc105 and nav.👍
I like the air intake mod on the AU never seen that before on an Aussie car
john falzon almost every landcruiser ever has one
@@BrosefDudley Land cruisers aren't Aussie cars.
john falzon neither are fords or holdens anymore
Glorious AU wagon. I wanna so this but with a sedan. The IRS would be a pain though..

Nah thats about right, the old 3.9 litres could barely spin on an oil slick....love my fords but they were a shit motor
Why are the falcons so good at this
Because built ford tough
Which in is which
is that out near Aashenden road
Yes it's in that area! We will probably do another trip out there once I finish rebuilding my Fairmont probably looking at December!)
So which performed better, the locked diff or lsd?

why are you offroading a sedan wagon?
Uncle Quack we call em station wagons in aus haha
Because bogan you dumb fuck
Wouldn't mind taking my xh outback on these tracks
Heya. If youre in Perth we would be happy to take you (or anyone else who is keen to offroad a Falcon) through these tracks. Just lemme know!
What size tyres are on the EA?
Hi there. 215/75r15 biggest that will fit!
Interceptor508 what size is on the AU?
жестко и круто
My Holden adventra would eat those tracks easy
I should hope so. Be cool to see an Adventra offroad to begin with. Nice.
+Interceptor508 I take mine out all the time, it's not a full on 4x4 but does a bloody good job
auto locker time
A proper build needs shovels and axes hanging off the top !!
у меня норм пельмень
I'm surprised that they made it to the bush, definitely won't be leaving.
leigh James Bravo. Wow. Never heard that one before. Don't like it? you don't have to watch it. Jog on and keep your boring dribble to yourself.
Hhrrrgg teee veeee
Buy a truck.
Chas R Martel I used to have one. This has been more fun.
