I think instagram is the reason 4wd builds have gone so far, everyone is competing for followers and likes instead of getting out and wheeling, there's nothing wrong with big expensive builds but budget builds is where everyone starts, and you guys have done an awesome job showing how the farm trucks can go to beautiful destinations with just a winch proving that you don't need a big bank account to get out and enjoy the outdoors, and the more that people realise they can get out with a basic setup the more people we will see out on the tracks

But on the same note, if it's your vision or your necessities that are going into the build, then there is no limit. Each to their own in terms of build choice, but stick to what YOU want and need rather than what's advertised and everyone else seems to have. Just give her a go.

Some of the best rigs in my opinion are simplistic. Less Mods sometimes means easier maintenance and trail fixes (if needed). Sometimes it has nothing to do with the mods on the vehicle, but the recovery tools that you need to get yourself out of the situation. (Ropes, Hi-Lift jacks, Tracks, Tools). Sometimes the industry puts the thought in our heads we need to spend thousands to have fun, And that is not the case. Go out, Adventure, but have the tools necessary to help you go even further while not breaking the budget!

Then you hop in and drive down the road and see another car with the same mod but better/fancier than yours and get somewhat jealous. I think everyone wants their hard work on their cars to be admired but it seems to come down to who has the most money for the best gear. Everyone’s trying to flex on everyone… pardon the pun.

I've just bought my first 4wd and I'm quite late to the party, I'm hitting the tracks this weekend in a completely stock standard cruiser, but the only thing that I think I'm worried about is tyre size. Everyone else can have their seventeen UHF antennas and three rooftop tents bolted together, that doesn't impact my ability to get off-road at all, but when I hit my local tracks and there are 37 inch ruts cut out of everything it makes it not only difficult, but possibly more dangerous to take a vehicle with much smaller tyres. But I'd rather take the vehicle out completely stock and get an understanding of what it's limitations are, and what my skill limit is, then make a modification and see what the real impact is by going out again, rather than just cutting away half my guards, putting on a 2 inch lift and some airbags, 37ish inch tyres, lockers, spotties, a snorkel that never gets wet and just praying there's noone around to defect me. Even just from watching your Old Tele Track vids from 2 years ago and comparing that to the most recent vid it's easy to see how much damage has been done to the tracks from people just full sending it up or through an obstacle on massive tyres with no regard for what they're doing to the track. Anyway, here's hoping I don't need to be recovered when I go out for the first time this weekend!

The 4WD industry is like any other, there's entry level right through to extreme. Take body-building for example, you can take it to the extreme and go for Mr Universe (Chopped 200s) or your local community title (an 80 with some lockers)... doesn't stop someone from hitting the gym and getting into it though. The more you want to invest into the sport, the more extreme the builds. Doesn't mean the bigger you are the better though, look at the twin locked GU from Ultimate9, out drives most of the rigs worth 3,4, 5 times the price. Key thing is to get into it, enjoy what you're doing and make it a good community to be part of.

Rigs have definitely gone too far, there's this huge belief now that to be able to get out there and enjoy what your vehicle has to offer it HAS to be modded. Tyres, lift, power, winch, fancy electrics etc. The fact is that you'll probably have more fun if a vehicle is just left to be the vehicle it was meant to be. The boys experienced the old rigs up north recently and said they had tons of fun. Whatever you've got, just wheel the hell out of it and get out there.

I feel rigs may have gone too far. But at the end of the day really it’s each persons own rig and if they want a coffee machine then they can get a bloody coffee machine. As you guys touched on the fact that people are scared to go out without that coffee machine is more the problem. On top of that those big rigs inspire others and ultimately make amazing mods more available.

I think that you can never have a 4wd build go too far, we will always be trying our best to reach the furthest-but you can still have just as much fun in a basic 4wd.

Great to see you guys at the Melbourne 4x4 show & great to see Jesse join the crew. I have a coffee machine in my 80, because I love my coffee! I don’t have a hair straightener as I don’t have enough hair to justify the expense. If you are building a rig that will do what you need it to do, then you haven’t gone to far. If you are just adding stuff because you can afford it, or to outdo some other rig, then you probably have.

I used to have a 80 series, basic set-up with 2 inch lift, bullbar with spotties and winch, aggressive all terrains, dual battery, uhf, roof rack, awning and a few LED's for camping and night time fishing, slept in my swag which I could connect one end to my awning and the side to my side steps for a wind brake. Now that I have a Pajero I'm thinking a very similar set-up, it's all you need for a decent rig

I think 4wds are going too far. One massove point of going away is to escape the luxuries / stressors of life, technology etc. But now people are taking those with them when camping. Keep up the great work boys!!

As a Canadian, our 4x4s aren't getting built to the same level as you Aussies. That being said everytime I watch you guys I'm jealous of how easy it is for you guys to setup camp and clean it up. Lets be honest there is nothing worse than getting to camp, and having to spend 20 minutes setting up before cracking a cold one. Some of the builds I see down there (especially those kitchens) seem so convenient, and when they're built for the sole purpose of spending as much time out in the bush as possible I can't really find a problem with them. I think as long as people are building rigs that suit their needs and fulfill a purpose then you can't go "too far". It becomes a problem when people are building rigs for likes, or just because they want the latest and greatest equipment.

Yeah I think 4WD builds are starting to go to far, it's always good to have a dream car to drool over but I think now there are so many crazy builds that are really unachievable for the common man. These posterboys of the 4WD industry can make it look like there is a huge barrier to entry for new people coming into the industry!

I started 4wding in a stock 60 series that was my best mates. Esky in the back that we buried in the ground with an old towel over the top (wet down with salt water) on Fraser Island. Had his dads old GME UHF that still works! And that was it! Few Bundaberg ginger beers (because we were 17) Had the best time and got me instilled in camping and 4wding! Things have progressed to an Engel fridge, small inverter and a home made draw system. Can’t afford the full canopy setup but my partner and I still love getting out there and enjoying what Australia has to offer! NO BETTER MOD THAN A FULL TANK OF FUEL AND A BOTTLE OF RUM!!!

I’m a relatively new 4x4 owner not even a year and I have definitely got the bug of “how much can I mod this thing”. I’ve spent far more money on modifying my RG Colorado and I’ve definitely got to get out there more and enjoy it. I’m writing a “parts Christmas list” not a “where am I going on my next adventure list”. Love the show boys love to see you out there!

I don't think 4wds have gotten too far but some have been over built in my mind. if you like it and it suits your needs then go ahead. I think most have been built pretty nice for that person. For example I have a decently built n70 hilux but for my needs it has pretty much everything I could need

As much as I love this channel, it's mindboggling that the people in Australia apparently have no clue of what's coming. If you want to own a 4x4 in the future, then maybe it's time to push back as a community against all the madness that is being rolled out because your transportation is next. As we speak the WEF is making plans to END private car ownership. Let that marinate for a while . . . Does this sound like there's a future where you are driving your 4x4 in the great outdoors? The past 2.5 years they took away your freedoms unhindered, I wonder what it takes for people to stop feeling comfortable and to wake up.

@@carmensmith94 Read the fourth industrial revolution published in 2016 by S Schwab. The book literally tells you the agenda that is being rolled out since 2020. The p*ndem*c included,. Let that sink in for a while . . . . He literally tells you that they will take your car, your house, your job, they will tell you what to eat and give you a state income, they want you coupled to a carbon footprint (restrict your meat consumption) and assign you to social credit score system and you find me insulting? Carmen, I love this channel, I love my wrangler, I love the 4x4 community, I love modding my rig, but even more important, I love my kids and I want them to experience 4x4 the same way I did. Problem is that this is not going to happen if people constantly get insulted by the truth only because it makes them feel uncomfortable.

Recommend min build, based on experience, in order. Good off road tyres full bash plates roof rack tow bar snorkel protection step/ sliders bull bar winch rear locker (if not standard) Stronger springs (full lift is preferable) The above will get you most anywhere, and home again. There is of course a bunch of stuff you should bring with you. The above is just what’s mounted to the car. You can obviously get away with less and still do a lot (we drove ours stock for a while). However, there are times where you either need to turn back or call for help without the above gear.

Just got back from 2 weeks In outback and country nsw with the wife, kids and swags - we all had a great time. We’ve got an MQ triton exceed 2018 , the only mods are all terrain tyres, canopy, diff breathers, snorkel , dual battery, USB-battery powered camp lights, a stedi work light, solar panel and a fridge. Oh and 3 water Jerry cans with a simple siphon system and $3 irrigation tap from Bunnings, for water. We did outback qld last year too on a massive trip over two weeks , including a night 50km into the Simpson desert , absolute trip of a lifetime in many ways. A bloke in a lifted 79 series passed us in the Simpson desert, we stopped to say gday to each other and I could see it written all over his face, how the hell is that triton so far out in this terrain compared to my 79. The day after on the way back, the triton flew up Big Red (third attempt as I didn’t know what I was doing haha) and some guys on a motorbike trip who saw it complemented me in the Birdsville hotel for that effort. This all just goes to show you don’t need a tricked out 79 series to get amongst it.

Gday! I bought an 1fzfe 80 a couple years ago $4k, and made it mechanically sound, stock as a rock. still to this day no drawers instead I have a couple old wood Schweppes bottle crates, esky instead of fridge, swag instead of rooftop, still no 12v set up. and picked up an awning from a 4x4 wreckers near me. I do love all builds over the top big and budget ones and taking in knowledge watching them. But to me it just feels like a split community in a way. I’ve copped hate from a random 4bie owner once for having chrome Sunraysia’s.. me being new to 4wding back then I put the 80series away for a while thinking it was “embarrassing” to take out. But still looks the same to this day and I’ve been out plenty of times and had the most fun I’ve ever had! Cheers guys👍

Added since buying: Top mounted intercooler, heavy duty clutch, 3 inch stainless exhaust, replaced winch, full Bar work, twin locked/air compressor, low range reduction gear's, greaseable shackle's. As well as replaced, shock's rear leaf spring's...etc. For me I have fully sorted my fourby. Reliable, capable of driving just about any track, super easy to work on and, always get's me home.

We just completed 6,500 kilometers in a 40 year old land rover covering the Flinders Ranges , Oodndatta Track , Ularu, Kings Canyon and back through Alice Springs, Coober Pedy to Victoria. We had two issues mechanically an electrical issue with the ignition switch and a broken "U" bolt on the trailer and all in all had a great time.The old car was quite a talking point and we got to see everything anyone in a 200 series Toyota or a Nissan saw with a lot less expense apart from the beer prices.
