Lenard Mwangi you are a long way from Cape York mate, you are going to need more than just a 4WD the ocean is way too deep. Good on you mate for watching
Great advice me made it up early 2000s in my 1995 nissan terrano 2.7td she was light and lucky to make it through the deeper long crossings yet what a trip.....
That was well worth waiting for . Great tips for the cape. You guys have the best life & job . Good on yah guys , keep doing what you are doing so well. Can not wait until the next DVD to come on you tube. Thanks for that Graham . Love your work.
Went to the OTT solo made friends at the first crossing and helped each other out the whole way. Fruit bat and Elliot falls were the best swimming holes I've ever seen anywhere.
Welcome to my home town BAMAGA CAPE YORK 🙏🏾 Please come back up there are more places you would wanna see make a friend with locals like myself and my dad will show you where million dollar places and fishing spots are hidden
@@denisnuredinix2447 Are you calling me "Stupid Abo" ???? FYI I'm not Aboriginal, I am a Torress Strait Islander, I come from the islands so before you judge a book by its cover check yourself and educate yourself!! I'M A PROUD TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER whats your blood line and culture?????
Been waiting excitedly for an upload :)) I’m obsessed, been watching since the early days (before you went on RUclips) keep doing u guys, it’s hilarious. Absolutely love it!
Great vid. Been to the top 3 times. Last time was 20 years ago. I hear they put a bridge across the Wenlock. Nolan’s was always a pain in the ass. Some good tips on preparing your truck. Lift out alternators with all the water crossings. Get a Bra for your truck and because of the corrugated roads get a sports Bra for the Misses.
Sydney Hustler Hi Syd. Alternators will play up and stop charging if they get submerged. People who own late model Land Cruises will take a spare or the rich will buy a water cooled sealed alternator. No battery power nothing will work.
Parachuted into Coen on an Army exercise back in the late '80's. Camped in the dry river bank and had some beer from the Exchange Hotel. I'll never forget it!
Cape York looks awesome, I'll have to add that to the list of places to go when I make it to Australia. The list is getting longer and longer thanks to all the places I've seen through 4WD action videos. Thanks for all of the great videos and other content, you guys rock!!
Great vid Graham! As always. I remember seeing you guys come into Loyalty Beach camp grounds last year a couple of weeks after we had just done the telly track. Great to see you guys out there exploring so much of our awesome country, gives us ideas on where to go and what to do on our big lap as we are travelling now.
I just bought a 80 series land cruiser and i want to set it up to tackle the cape im 18 years old and this is my first 4x4 watching u guys make me want to do it so much i watch most of your epiaodes
I live just North of Cairns up in the rain forest and when it comes to choosing when, November is seriously underrated. The wet starts later than they advertise in the brochures. When I have family up, I get them up here in November. Blue skies, sunshine, usually pretty decent visibility on the reef, hardly any crowds, off season rates and if it is going to rain, you're going to get a pretty dramatic thunderstorm along with it. The really heavy flooding monsoonal rains don't set in until late December or January, but the first decent rains and thunderstorms will start to come in November. If you can make those tracks early after the wet you'll do them easy at the tail end of the dry. Bring your widest wide angle lens, the sky can be amazing when a storm is coming. If you can camp comfortably in the rain, it's an incredible time to see the tropics.
Great advise Mate, stopped and said g’day to you guys up their in 2017 on the PDR in-between the north and south OTT Going back again 2021 can’t wait ... this vid got my cape juices flowing like the Jardine - thanks
Well done Graham, I really enjoyed listening to your helpful knowledge & experience of the top end, great stuff mate! I can’t wait cause I’m doing it this year. Thanks, some of your best work.
Great Vid!!!....would love to do that run, as I sit here in Debary, Florida and watch the vid....some day...been thru Sydney a few times and never knew there were tracks so close from watching the rest of your series...
I am planning a family trip to Cape York in 2021. Going to skip the OTT for our first trip as it's way above my skill level at present. I have a 2014 Prado GXL.
I love the show, also love cape york. Its an easy trip for me living in Townsville. Will not be going this year as i am off to Honeymoon Bay in the kimberlies to spread my brothers ashes. Maybe next year back to the cape, cheers
Hi Graham. Mate you're from the west... How come you legends never head that way? Man I would just love to see a big trip over there. 2 hour episode. Bring it on mate!! 🙌🏻
Gerard Putker There's a RUclips channel called Seek Adventure. He's WA based and has some sweet single and multi part tours of your awesome looking state. And that's coming from a Queenslander lol
We did tassie last year in September with 5 of us camping out of the 79 cruiser and off to the cape in august south and north tips in 12 mths what a country!
I've seen every episode that Graham and Shauno have recorded and I love everything. How much does a trip cost? Keep up with what you guys are doing, because I'm following the journey on RUclips.. From Peter Nyberg from Sweden 🇸🇪 thanks guys.
Ive got a 05 jeep wrangler tj, dana 44 axles 4 inches of suspension lift couple inch body lift on 35" falcon wild peak mt'tires, core 4x4 adjustable control arms, novak transfercase shift cable system linkage eliminator, snorkel kit, winch, eaton detroit rear differential locker, quick disconnect swaybar links, new clutch new rebuilds on both axles, all new u and wheel joints, cherry bomb glass packs exaust, wheel spacers for stability,4.0 straight 6 with 4:11 gearing and much more i could wheel those spots with ease!! looks like a blast i would give just about anything to go on an adventure with you guys!!
great video Graham, very informative and i guess it could be applied to almost any track anywhere in this magnificent country of ours, my question is experience, we are about the same vintage but i have only been 4 wheeling for about 18 months, im not planning a trip to the tip just yet but is it really only for the experienced and old dogs among us or are the tracks, or by pass tracks ok for someone with limited experience? thanks again mate, keep the great videos coming.
one thing you should do for river crossing is put a tarp, "arb crossing cover" or similar to stop water destroying the fan blades when in the water as the blade can break off and go threw the radiator and then you could have a major issue on the tracks
Jeez, was looking at videos of our second trip to the cape in 2010. Still thinking how we made it to the tip and back towing a camper with motorbike of the roof with a tinny and our family of 5. Evven made gunshot and Nolan brooks without getting bogged. Old gq patrol 35s 5” tb42 it was a beast
i enjoy watching your videos. I was wondering when you show a plastic fan from a vehicle or tires in other shows, do you clean up some the area when you are out wheeling? I look forward to all videos that Graham and Shauno are in! Thank you.
Hope you are not effected by the fires happening there. Very sad. Hello from NE Okla. I will never be able to go there. But very much enjoy getting to see the places I will never be able to visit..
so how do i get my truck from the UK to Cape york ;) would love to come over and go for it. would need to buy a truck over there ready for the trip or borrow one if you know anyone graham! ;)
Curious as to why you guys dont run either an antirock sway bar system or use quick disconnect sway bar links? your off road capabilities would go through the roof and it would stabilize your vehicles in situations that cause wheel lift saving you 9 times out of 10 from rolling your rig and doubling your traction by allowing all 4 tires to consistently stay on the ground! being able to flex your suspension/axles is everything!!.. food for thought!!!! I do love your show it is probably the best one out there better than the ones we have here in America! look forward to all your futture episodes
Flying my Son over here to South West WA in mid May then heading for the track via Uluru, Alice, Madigan line, Normanton and Cairns up to the Cape. Looking forward to it.
Hey legends we are heading up there for the first time for all of July this vid was good thanks guys What about crocs is there an induction where to really look out for them. hope to see u boys there you guys are my 2 boys idles
Rule of thumb, always suspect creeks have crocs when in FNQ. Particularly in the low areas. Crocs can travel large distances overland to find water. Just because they called salt water crocs, doesn't mean they don't live in fresh water. They do. Only real safe bet is anything above large waterfalls if you're up in the range. Which you won't be on the cape. I'm only speaking from living in Townsville and Cairns. Which leads me to my last point. Talk to the locals before you leave. They know the area better than anyone. Same with Rangers.
If people are coming during the next few months, be very security aware. Currently in Coen we have about 80 people extra escaping violence at Aurukun. Our health clinic has extra staff to cope and it is very busy. Once at the start of the Tele, it is back to normal. For me, I’m leaving the Cape and doing the Simpson this year.
Hey guys we are definitely going to the cape again this year selling the big van and getting a camper so we can have a real good look at the different track's and beaches around the cape hope to see you up there going in July.
We are heading up this year, thanks for the hot tips, especially where to set up camp on the OTT, fuel availability and food sources. I'm a bit worried about Nolan's cos it's just me and the misso by ourselves. I've put in my notes the info you gave on how to cross it. Cheers
Fraser is way overrated and way over visited. 3 different ferries dropping thousands an hour onto the island. try Moreton Island, it is the choice island up here. only 2 ferries trips a day. plus those who do drive Morton know how to drive in sand. just watch any Inskip point youtube. idiots stuck for hours with 6.1 liter jeeps rotary hoeing the sand. once their clear you can see old 4x4's putting past towing caravans. how can an old lux tow a van but a 6.1 litre jeep is stuck. comes down to the idiot behind the wheel. i'd stay away from those idiots before you get dragged into their recovery.
Some day I will make a trip to Australia form the USA. So many places I would like to see it may have to be more than one trip. Great video hope many people take advantage of good info.

Following you from South Africa.This is the best 4x4 show available anywhere.
Yep
Guys, you really make it easy to know what you need.
I can imagine lots of families finding a way to go, just because you showed them the fun too.
Great to see old Shorty again, I can't wait till Shorty meets the Dirty 30 but other then that great tips
What are these "holidays" you speak of? 🤔 are they available on Amazon?
That was well worth waiting for . Great tips for the cape. You guys have the best life & job . Good on yah guys , keep doing what you are doing so well. Can not wait until the next DVD to come on you tube. Thanks for that Graham . Love your work.

Lift out alternators with all the water crossings. Get a Bra for your truck and because of the corrugated roads get a sports Bra for the Misses.
solid advice, but sports bra not necessary. That only increases carrying weight and reduces fuel economy. I told the missus to leave at home.👍
What do you meany by lift out alternators?
Sydney Hustler Hi Syd. Alternators will play up and stop charging if they get submerged. People who own late model Land Cruises will take a spare or the rich will buy a water cooled sealed alternator. No battery power nothing will work.
What an absolute bonus of a video. Thanks 4WD Action. I got a lot out of this.

Thx
Oh, you look cool though.
Hands down ‘THE BEST 4WD Show’ on RUclips. Sensational guys 👍🏼😎, thanks.
That was such a great video. Awesome place to visit again & again & again & again & again.

Man i wanna go so bad,i watch every video i can on this place. Your so right Graham,leave it one more year and you'll be a year older.
Awsome vid.
Awesome. That's a great guide lads. I need the 2022 version though 😂
your videos are getting better every time. and yes i really do want to go to cape york this year

I think I'll do this next year, no way id want to go with the massive crowds
Good video. Thanks graham. Def on the bucket list so that vid will come in real handy. Cheers. 👍🍻
First person to comment so happy I look forward to watching you boys every Thursday
Great advise Mate, stopped and said g’day to you guys up their in 2017 on the PDR in-between the north and south OTT
Going back again 2021 can’t wait ... this vid got my cape juices flowing like the Jardine - thanks
Awesome vid fellas. Would love a Fraser Island version with some of the lesser known spots on the island.
Hoping we will we see u guys up there this year! Love it graham as always!
Thanks for making this. It is stuff of dreams ❤️ yet actually achievable with a bit of 4x4 upgrading and planning. Keep these coming 👍
I've committed to spending a few months driving offroad around Australia!
Well done Graham, I really enjoyed listening to your helpful knowledge & experience of the top end, great stuff mate! I can’t wait cause I’m doing it this year. Thanks, some of your best work.

We did tassie last year in September with 5 of us camping out of the 79 cruiser and off to the cape in august south and north tips in 12 mths what a country!
I would love to see you guys come out to the states and do a holiday sometime. That would be awesome!
Wish I could come over there if I can ever get out of Arkansas. Long way from y'all. Great vid as usual
Good on you Graham, great tips, excellent vid and priceless advice, you”re a real champion!
First love the vids you keep me happy on my down days
I want to move to Australia when I get my journey man mechanics and some good money saved up I’ll really consider it
It already is in my bucket lost, go to Oz, meet Graham, Shauno and Ronny Dahl, and do Cape York driving a landcruiser.
I've seen every episode that Graham and Shauno have recorded and I love everything. How much does a trip cost?
Keep up with what you guys are doing, because I'm following the journey on RUclips.. From Peter Nyberg from Sweden 🇸🇪 thanks guys.

Plenty of bypass tracks mate - 4WDs of many different levels can do the Old Tele Track. Bush proof and Reliability needs to be the common factor.
Who the heck dislikes these videos? Best bloody content on the interwebs!
Great video mate. Really enjoyed the tip and aM looking nervously forward to heading up next year.
It would be fun to see you guys doing Cape York during the most busy holidays/weeks.
one thing you should do for river crossing is put a tarp, "arb crossing cover" or similar to stop water destroying the fan blades when in the water as the blade can break off and go threw the radiator and then you could have a major issue on the tracks
i havnt even been to cape york , live in nz. would love to relocate and give it a go!
28th of June & we are out of here. Cape York here we come ! It will be our 1st time, hopefully not our last.
Loved this! Thanks for the tips ... we are leaving Gladstone on the 1st August
Thanks Graham! Cant wait to get up there!
Love the 4x4 action...You planing of doin a world 4x4 tour... You are welcome to Sweden any day :)
You’re a bloody legend Graham

I am in Cape Town, South Africa...no idea why I'm watching Cape York guide and tips...:)
My favourite spot up there is Cape Melville. Especially if I'm taking a boat.
How are you guys not on Tele best 4wd show ever. Keep em coming
i enjoy watching your videos. I was wondering when you show a plastic fan from a vehicle or tires in other shows, do you clean up some the area when you are out wheeling? I look forward to all videos that Graham and Shauno are in! Thank you.

It’s about time graham took shorty on a 4wd action trip
Agreed.
“...full itinerary including gunsh*t...” 😂 yes, simple things amuse me - probably why I love this show
Like before watching...as usual!
We camped at roonga point for a couple of weeks. Had the place to ourselves. Magic spot and it’s free👍
tree always wanted to do cape now I know what to do thanks fellas
Great guide guys. Have to remember this when i do the track. (One Day)
If people are coming during the next few months, be very security aware. Currently in Coen we have about 80 people extra escaping violence at Aurukun. Our health clinic has extra staff to cope and it is very busy. Once at the start of the Tele, it is back to normal. For me, I’m leaving the Cape and doing the Simpson this year.
Makes me wish I had the money to see Australia.
Charles, me too mate...me too. And i live here haha
Gentlemen, Thanks for sharing all your videos.
Been refreshing since 4:30 waiting for the new episode
First gun shot is gnarly
You said it! ‘Even in a Lada Niva’ I used to have one, it was good but Cape York? Love to see you try it.
Hey guys we are definitely going to the cape again this year selling the big van and getting a camper so we can have a real good look at the different track's and beaches around the cape hope to see you up there going in July.
So cool you still have your little rig that you started with!!
Videos like this make me want to move to aussie
And by a 4wd
Great vid boys keep them coming
We are heading up this year, thanks for the hot tips, especially where to set up camp on the OTT, fuel availability and food sources. I'm a bit worried about Nolan's cos it's just me and the misso by ourselves. I've put in my notes the info you gave on how to cross it. Cheers
Great vid bud, need to do one of these for Fraser.. would love to know about the the lakes and great camping spots
Fraser is way overrated and way over visited. 3 different ferries dropping thousands an hour onto the island. try Moreton Island, it is the choice island up here. only 2 ferries trips a day. plus those who do drive Morton know how to drive in sand. just watch any Inskip point youtube. idiots stuck for hours with 6.1 liter jeeps rotary hoeing the sand. once their clear you can see old 4x4's putting past towing caravans. how can an old lux tow a van but a 6.1 litre jeep is stuck. comes down to the idiot behind the wheel. i'd stay away from those idiots before you get dragged into their recovery.
what was that about land cruisers at the end Graham???? Love this channel! Cape York is not on my bucket list, its on my now list.
Loved the Tele Track and Sams Creek too. We had a swim by the hidden waterfall yeww!
Some day I will make a trip to Australia form the USA. So many places I would like to see it may have to be more than one trip. Great video hope many people take advantage of good info.
Awesome video - thanks for sharing the tips.
