Nice episode.
I couldnt catch the name of the area as they pronounced it differently each time.
I thought it might be Cosava or Cofaba.

Turns out its Coffs Harbour.

But you think they say the difficult obstacle is coming up because the say 'na hier' (after this) meanwhile they are saying 'Gnarly'...

Mike, that's how Kurt knew, but I never saw the title until I pressed the remote near the end...

Some light entertainment with most extreme obstacles to enjoy after Christmas (or Hanukkah) over indulgence:

Really nice 'Christmas' Episode Kurt - one of the nicest as they do really hardcore stuff...
The follow on 2019 wrap up 'Best of 2019' video was also fun.

I noted the following in this last video:

1) the 76 Cruiser was crap in those conditions and had a tendency to want to fall over A LOT!!!

2) the new Hilux looked to do really really well, much better than the Isuzu. It must be down to the rear locker and possibly better flex.

3) that older Hilux that Jocko built up to be SFA outclassed even the 80 series Cruisers, very capable.

2). That New Hilux had more lift than Grahams D-Max I suspect - but they run the same make of suspension as the Hilux belongs to the Suspension Sponsor.
Graham has a rear locker in the Red D-Max. His previous grey D-Max didn't have a locker. Isuzu sponsors the vehicles.

3) I agree, but that old 'Kz-TE; shape Hilux is A LOT shorter and narrower than the other vehicles and has a massive departure angle.
I think it has a tunedD-4D motor...

I do notice they use thier (Sponsored by Dominator) winches at every opportunity, rather than a last resort...

BTW: that 'Kz-TE' shape Hilux came out with IFS - so he converted it to SFA...

Yes, that’s why I said “Built up to be SFA...” Image

Manny, this proves that only true hardcore expert 4x4’ers damage their left C-pillars on their 4x4’ers. Everyone else is not trying hard enough.
