4 wheel Action DVD

[Chops]

Have just been watching the latest offerings from the Action crew. Yes, I buy the mag every month, mainly so I can see where they go. The scenery is usually awesome, especially when they do the "big trips".
They are up in NSW somewhere, Cessnock area, and as usual, two are towing trailers. The tracks are impressive, but whilst watching Steve in the Lux tow his trailer around, and how he tackles some of the obsticles I'm a bit fed up
Going up, what seems like a fairly narly set of rock steps, he's managed to get the trailer airbourne
Glen has next turn, and you would'nt even think it was hard at all. No air under any wheel.

No wonder not soon after, they discover a broken diff in said Lux. Serves em right.

Its also no wonder why theres so many hoons out in the bush damaging the tracks to the max when they are all watching this stuff.

Whatever happened to his "Tread Lightly" slogan?

Its a Landrover thing he never understood, just quoted.

As slowly as possible but as fast as necessary.

their attitude is more

Why learn to do with skill and care what you can achieve with brute force and ignorance?

Hi

Couldn't agree more.

I've watched that Hilux driver Steve a few times and he's not much of a driver - too much throttle, too much wheelspin, no respect for his machine or the track.or his mates.. broken parts everywhere.. emergency trips to the mechanic--jeez.


I'd leave him there..really every trip he f..s the truck and track and he doesn't have to. Who pays the bills

That Hilux is setup to break things which is what it has been doing. Lift is too high and if you watch the front end it appears to have no travel left so it bounces over everything. CVs and front diff won't be liking it. You'd think they'd know better being the 'experts' they are.

The way he drove up that rocky section was just plain stupid.

I have a hunch that there are a lot of behind the scenes repairs we hear nothing about.

[dungarover]

Not a fan of his driving style but I must admit I go pretty hard of-road but 99% of that I would tackle a lot slower than he did as it could have mostly been done without the loud pedal.


So for me to criticise him makes me a hypocrite to a degree but know where you're coming from.

is it just me or does every one else think Roothy laughs like Porky Pig? He also sounds like he's telling a story to the kids in play school.

Yeah Steve's a schmuck, what did he think he was going to achieve tearing up that steep slope with a trailer on the back? He had diff locks why not slow down and let them do their job?

Because their knobs!

[Didge]

Yeah, bit of a joke with Roothy always banging on about the tracks being locked off and then they go hooning around causing damage. Perhaps if they didn't promote reckless driving so much more of the tracks would stay open.

They started out much better than they are now. Roothy has been stooged and beguiled by most of his new "leeching"!mates. They keep throwing money at him to keep him giggling away like a school girl.

The mags and videos are now nothing more than massive supplier adverts and the "stars" are mostly rich industry knobs looking for 15 seconds of fame. Bunch of Boof heads.

Convert yourself to Simon and Miranda's 4WD TV stuff (think it's all on planet earth?) and stop wasting 10 bucks a month on that other mobs crap.

Unfortunately I tend to fall asleep watching 4wd TV. Tried to like it and occasionally has some good bits but is mostly a bunch of industry...knobs...out for a lame Sunday drive.

I dont condone the track destroying antics you sometimes see on the 4wd Craption vids but they are much better than 4WD TV as far as being watchable.
