Out in Central QLD doing some 4x4 time and well......... Just watch what happens here. HILARIOUS!!

For those that dont want to watch or cant. He puts laxatives in his mates coffee in the morning lol.

Imagine a day out on the rough tracks and having to content with diarrhoea lol.

Well, they've been giving most of us the ****s for years - about time they got some of their own medicine!

You dont enjoy them?
I find some of the places they get too are absolutely spectacular. This video for example.

At some point in my life i want to do the lap, and videos like this just enforce that feeling for me.

I agree that the places are spectacular, as are some of the places All 4 Adventure go to, amongst others.

I'm just over all the product placement and subliminal messages that if you don't have X, Y and Z products, you can't possibly enjoy yourself in the bush.

Plus, some of the examples they set are quite possibly at the root of some of the track closures that are sadly becoming more and more prevalent. Watch one of their videos, and put yourself in the frame of mind of a Greenie, anti 4wd person - lots of ammunition there! Like the group that is trying to get the Condamine Gorge Road closed to all except residents. I heard (second-hand) that at one of their meetings, they showed some clips of Shaun and Graham churning up a muddy track to convince people of the damage those pesky 4wds can do.

I have a neighbour who has a full collection of their videos. He also has a box full of receipts for new radiators, alternators and starter motors for his Toyota, because he insists on driving flat out through any mud/water he can find, just like his heroes do. Trouble is, he has 4 boys who are going to drive "just like Dad"!

Yeah, they've never pushed the 'Tread lightly' message that's for sure and the product placement gives me the irrits to say the least...

What a pack of Bogans , so glad I've never seen any of their stuff before.

No wonder the 4x4 Destinations are full of dickheads nowadays.

Ha, I was reading one of their mags at the Barbers yesterday on iconic Oz treks. The trek routes themselves were interesting but their list of mods required to do them was just way over the top! They definitely push the fully sik, lifted, blah blah tough truck required to drive any desert track.....

I see your point re there aggressive driving.

There not nearly as bad as some though who really do just tear it up every chance they get.

Nearly impossible not to spin wheels some times and ultimately make ruts just that little bigger than they were.

I actively try not destroy any tracks despite people on here claiming i do. Some times my car comes home full of mud though.

Any mud that is on my car come from where i was so in theory im just making it worse.

Cant see any way around this really.

Some places require difficult driving to get there and as each next person comes through it will get worse. Even with the mindset of respecting the tracks.


Banning all offroad activity seems the only solution. Or the greenies pull there heads in a bit which wont happen.



As for the product flogging.... Well i see that everywhere i go on the webs. Something i learned to ignore long ago.

I like their videos not the magazine....

On one issue of 4wd action magazine, the editor praise the position of the a/c compressor on a puma defender, saying"look at the position of alternator, land Rover surely know their business" hahaha
