In this episode of Overland Rides I showcase not one, not two but THREE separate overland vehicles – the vehicles we teamed up with to tackle the old telegraph track!
Learn more about each of these vehicles, what I love about them, and wha we can learn about them to apply to our own vehicles and adventures.

Also: The nice little drawing on the GU airbox made me crack up
14:17 I think a Toyota owner got to it.. 😁
If you end up in Karijini National Park in W.A.,2 spare tires are a must,This place with all the roads made of rocks,shreds tires.One just is not enough.
I usually be waiting on these episodes every week man. Feels like i know almost all of Australia now😅
Fantastic commentary, Dan. So glad you took the opportunity to take us on a walk-around of these cool vehicles. And really great information too — amazing that you filmed it and talked through all that info with only three cuts. Bravo!
Great video Dan. I run a GU Patrol myself. Twin locked with a Chev 6.5ltre turbo diesel ( very capable vehicle ) with a trayback. And u are right. U definitely need to make use of the under tray area of these set ups to truly take advantage of the space. I run long range tanks, under tray draws, etc. And this really frees up space on the tray for other uses.
I could watch walk arounds of differently outfitted vehicles all day long.
Great video.
Nice one. Good walkaround of all the rigs in your party.👍 Nowadays, that gap between the chassis and flat tray is filled with a sliding trundle tray that pulls out from the rear, and/or (as you've said) tanks.
Yay!
Good stuff Dan 😎
Dan, just curious what you guys are thinking about your mode of camping…breaking camp each day, rolling up the swag, packing up the “boot” etc.
Lockers just make everything safer by letting you bee slower and more controlled.
I really enjoyed all of your descriptions of each vehicle
Is the Jeep the best? I think yes
Lots of videos of the Old Tele these days! Great stuff. It's too bad they don't sell those Land Cruisers in the States (except for those 200/300 series, which no-one can find or afford…), I reckon they would do really well over here, even with a petrol version. I guess we'll just have to stick with our Jeeps though.
Why do you over pronounce the letters A and H when talking I can’t watch
The gas cooker table on the bar of the 79 series is awesome
🍻
All icons
lol, someone left an easter egg at 14:17 🤣
Thanks for explanation on the cars.
Locker make you go deeper in the mud and on the end you will use winch. 😉😂
Cheers. 🍻
I loved the run down of the vehicles. Fun to see the differences and how they did on the track.
