The Australian Bushman.....

[Robmacca]

Just finished watching Jamie Hazelden's 1st (I think) DVD of CREB Track as the Australian Bushman..... I liked the 2 well setup Defenders that were in the DVD. I believe the White one was a Puma but not sure what Jamie's was...
As far as the DVD goes, I guess it wasn't too bad as I learnt a bit more about the CREB track & the surrounding areas, etc......

Has anybody else seen this Video & what did they think of it?

Here's the LINK: The Australian Bushman (http://australianbushman.com.au/)

Cool... I was hoping it would go for longer though.....

Does anyone know what model Jamie's LR single cab style side Ute is?

Not sure of the exact year but it's a tweaked up td5, he's set it up a bit different than his other 130 s as far as not having a full camp setup. That's why he has the 110 wagon as camera/ crew car to carry all supplies etc. Jamies 110 single cabs pretty cool, being able to carry both tinny and a four wheeler to do some serious remote adventure. Jamie s a top bloke and well experienced in offroad adventure and knows how to do it right, which is why he's out own his own now and away from 4wd action. Mark from British offroad helped Jamie put the two the defenders together. I spoke to Jamie extensively in regard to camp and 12v setup when I was designing and building the canopy for my 130, very helpful guy and knows how to setup a defender for hard off-roading/ camping. Also his real life experience of 12v is second to none. I couldn't be happier with how my canopy setup turned out, being able get everything right the first time, I have Jamie to thank for his knowledge and expierence. Funnily enough, when Jamie mentioned he would be selling his puma130 that he was using on 4wd action, well let's just say my mate got great deal and I'm a little jealous of the galvanised chassis!! Very tough touring setup!!

Yeah, I love the look of his single cab, but did notice that he appeared to be sitting fairly close to the steering wheel. When u watch him driving it, his elbows are quite close to the steering wheel. I'm assuming this is due to the lack of seat adjustment backwards with it being a single cab.....

It was good as well as they both explain how both of their Defenders are setup and what mods they have done to them....

With his being the TD5, do they have any weaknesses with the Gearboxes, are they prone to shaft breakages, etc ?? (I'm not familiar with these vehicles at all would like to change that :) )

If u mean was he the fella that u use to see in some of the 4wdaction mags/dvds, then yes, but he obviously saw the light and could see it was not good to remain tied to them.... I assume....

[Doc130]

That's correct...

[460cixy]

Good on him only watched him once or twice at a mates place he gets the DVDs it seemed to be all about that other sawn off jerk with the Nissan. Any how good on him for getting out having a go and flying the landy flag.

[Doc130]

That's exactly right!

[Robmacca]

I see that he is also involved in The Offroad Show (http://www.offroadadventureshow.com.au/)

Apparently this is shown on TV but we don't get to see this up here in Qld.....

There's a few others involved in this show that I've thought I've also seen on 4WDAction as well..... Looks like there's a few more abandoning the sinking ship......

Is the DVD worth the money you pay for it? Bob
