🔥 EX-ARMY UNIMOG takes on the OLD TELE TRACK (Cape York, Australia)
Jase is taking his 12-tonne ex-Army Mercedes Unimog on the infamous Old Telegraph Track in far North Queensland. Simon is along for the ride in his modified V8 LandCruiser, hauling a 7-metre trailer. Together they face tough terrain, emergency bush mechanics, and even a good old fashioned vehicle rollover.

Hey jase, can we see some crabbing and fishing please, I only got back from the Cape 3 weeks ago, mate I went with put his Mitsubishi triton and camper trailer down palm Creek and gunshot, didn't do no fishing as way too windy and didn't really know where to go, hopefully next year we are taking my tinny and we are going to either do NT or the Kimberleys, we got back to bundy 3 Saturday ago, already keen for the next journey, I see use Met up with Sam eyles and that on ur way to the next destination, pull in for a beer on your way home, pretty sure dad will have a catch up with ya, we are on goodwood road, cheers Chris honor 🍻
Need to see the second half!
How do I get into the club. They updated my fn iPad and now I don't have a discrition like they uses to. Please explain. I'm computer illiterate . Just found your channel and love it thanks
theres a mog with super crawl..vid. it climbed a 3ft tree stump, without a driver.
I know it’s for funn and views because we all know it would make wayyy more sense to hook the big Mog To the trailer and let him pull it the trailer through the woods so the Cruiser wouldn’t have to fight so hard to get through there
I love these guys but if everything wasn't exaggerated and flared would be 1000% the best 4wd channel on KZhead I love their raw stuff from years ago
Well said
Read this comment before I started the video and agreed straight away 🤣
Yeah I did the telletrack 2 months ago in a stock dmax with a camper trailer and only put it in low range maybe 3 or 4 times. It's an awesome track but yeah all these shows make it out to be way harder than it is.
Agree entirely, usually can,t watch a full video because of BS. Could be great
Totally agree. I was subscribed to their unleashed channel. I couldn’t handle the made up drama.
Everyone who’s done the Tele or spent years in a mog is rolling their eyes big time
Did it in 2009 driving a Unimog, bloody great time
Drove these for several decades. Unstoppable in the right hands. But its not 12 tonne, thats GVM. Its 5.7 Tonne plus about 1.5 tonne of gear on the tray if all those 44's are full. That's almost the same as the insane weight of the LC/trailer combo. But the mog is cruising it whereas the LC will be working its arse off...and most probably sucking more fuel than the mog!!!
Yep. Mine with Hutchinson wheels and 395's, with front and rear winch bars and 25k winches, tares in at 7.0T flat. To weigh 12T they must have filled the tyres with gold dust. 🤣
Yeah had a giggle when he keeps mentioning 12 ton. Even the most kitted out Mog camper set ups with all the gear are between 9 and 10 ton.
@@GCL110 Yep, Spot on.. My Expedition mog fully loaded including 500L water, 200L fuel, all the wife’s clothes comes in just over 9T. @renegadejourney
@@hil7160 🤣
I think if you look at the weight the unimog military it’s the bigger of the mogs and the weight of those mogs is 8 tones
Damn, the UNIMOG is a hella beast, but are going to ignore the 10:14 moment? that was really scary, what an absolute loving trip
I got to drive these in the Australian Army years ago. Also drove the old F-1 6x6 trucks that we had prior to the Unimogs, they were quite the beast to drive (no synchro, noisy AF)
Very skilful. Cheers for showing this. Honest no bull. Just say it like it is and doing it very well indeed. Cheers guys from England
unimogs are beasts. driven em a few times offroad. awesome
I joined the ADF, Army in 1987. In RAEME and did my time on the MOG, best 4x4 truck!
Pogue
@@gandalf2256 haha😂
Just love those mogs They will go anywhere! Only problem is when you do get em stuck you have BIG problems Love the vids guys !
I drove Ambulance Unimogs, whilst posted in Berlin in the 80s - British Army - First time in one had no idea how to get it to move, until i found the rev stick - strange old vehicles.
Gripping Sunday morning viewing! 😬 I would like to see the Toyotas' pass through The Gunshot. Well done fellas'! 👏
jase n simon watching since after 1yr BEST SIMON exists this time with mighty 79 love
What a friggin weapon. She's the most💪
Top video guys. Keep up the good work.
Learnt to drive a truck in the Army one of these bad boys. There's a few photos online of Aussie Mogs doing Dukes of Hazzard impersonations. The Mack's R6x6 arexa great rig and would hold their own too
and stuffing them up when they hit the dirt again.
Well at least I know now that my canter will fit thanks to you lol , I thort you sold the mog ,been thinking of changing to one .👍
Entertaining video for all 4x4 enthusiast. Comparable to the Borneo Safaris where the participants going through uncharted route which eventually would be the new roads of Borneo or would be an entertainment venues for 4x4 enthusiast.
These videos are awesome. I thought I had seen all of these guys vids on tv but I was soooo wrong. Great Aussie legends.
We did this trek from cabarlah to Bamiga in the unimog. The tyres aren't standard and we had larger winches
First time I have found this channel, and what a baptism. Fellas, I know that I must never try doing any of your tricks as you are light years ahead of me. I am 74 with a full HC licence, but I have never tried off roading. Well done.
Anyone from Army remember doing the “Steps” in a Mog at Holsworthy driving range?
Never did Holsworthy but was in Townsville and did some serious bush up nth Queensland in the mogs
took a drivers course through there and they consisted of RFSV'S, 6x6 LR and unimog and went through the original gunshot for there were only two ways through without a scratch.
Nice work,nice video,nice guys💪
So COOL!
What a blast👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Towed the tree on to the track. Nice work.
Place is amazing
Surprising how much the 79 gets through with that big old hauler on the tow. MOG just pisses it in...seen Ftrucks peel tyres off rims on tracks just because of the ruts being standard width. Luv the remote track chasing episodes...The latest swampy film off the top is great.
@@asktoseducemiss434 LOL
After time in the SADF in the Buffel , you know that Unimog will go anywhere ( the Buffel is a landmine proof armoured unimog , South African built for war . Would be interesting to see a team of those tear up the telegraph .
Awesome 😎
I know this is old content, but I've always wondered why the 'Mog wasn't towing the trailer?
The bloody trailer was designed for a regular 4wd not a mog . The tow hitch on the mog is to high.
That’s insane that first hole you showed at the start
Was macht ihr eigentlich mit der Ausrüstung, die ihr auf Euren Fahrzeugen mitnehmt?
I'd absolutely love to see All 4 adventure and 4wd 24/7 Guys in one video It'll be amazing Love you guys Keep doing what you do best
Awesome
If you know that the truck is wider than the tracks, then you know you are going to be causing the tracks unnecessary damage. Why would you do it?
Most all terrain vehicles are truck width. Its just that here in Australia, we are backward due to the transport authorities being anal retentive and very ignorant to change and do not permit any of the really serious all terrain vehicles to be imported, so we have learnt to think that the toy's we have like Toyotas, Fords , Datsuns, etc are real 4x4's. Top end all wheel drive vehicles are in the million dollar plus plus range. So for those lucky enough to have even a poor mans small 4x4 such as a Unimog, why not let them have their fun in the sun.
@@jasonf1451 Worth remembering that your four wheel drive adventure is somebody else’s commute, why make it harder for them?
Why not put the spare underneath where it's supposed to go plus one in the back. Remember there's a lot of Mog drivers out here.
Because those wheels don’t fit on the spare tyre holder.
@@keithkearns93 But plenty of room on the tray.
@@Robert-cu9bm not when you have a camper that fills the tray . Rack on the cab with a spitz lift works well though .
do you guys lower the PSI of your Mud tyres for better traction ?
Hey Jase, what’s that watch you are wearing?
NT IN THE WET SEASON TOO MOGS MY OLD MAN DROVE THEM IN THE RSA AMY AND HE THINK U BOYS CAN DO IT THE MOG IS A BEAST
wicked ! 🏞️🛻🤙😎📹
when was this filmed ? coz the palm creek entry was flat and the river bed was completely dry , no water . and the exit didn't have any ruts
Jason and Simon are the modern day Leyland Brothers. Live their stuff
Oh come on …..the Leylands did it with nothing and in a lot of cases they were the first to do it .
That’s a very handy vehicle
On the walkie talkie when your two meters away from each other lol
You will eventually break your winches with all that towing. You should never tow with a winch. I love the unimog, used to drive one here in Finland for couple of years =)
When was this filmed? Palm Creek is dry.😲 And the rest of the creeks, water is very low.
iIthought the same crazy hey. Im surprised Dalhunty and Bertie were where they were considering levels of gunshot and palm. we crossed palm and gunshot in bonnet deep water and when we crossed dalhunty and bertie they look exactly the same as in this video... mind blown
Why not tow the trailer with the mog?
Unimog is common in Europe with the utility guys. Big toys for serious boys(or girls). It'll wade up to your floorpan no problem.
What is rhe actual size of a 42 inch. Rim diameter and width/profile of the tyre.
Always with a smile but it's like Simon just doesn't want to be there.
Like the moving pictures ... now idea what language the two lovers are speaking
I would love to try it in a tatra 8wd truck
2 Mogs would be good aye !
The Track lived up to it's name while I was pulling a trailer with 2 four wheelers a boat and tons of equipment on it LOL🤣🤦♂️🤦🤷♂️ I think that's called overloaded
Gotta love a Unimog!! The only thing better is that other Mercedes 6x6 truck which is a unimog on steroids
My suggestion is go to the army and ask if you can do a 4 x 4 training course on the unimog
Seems those guys are overdoing the drama as they often pick the less sensible track options, so it is not advisable for novices to attempt that strategy for outback journeys, but then it is about entertainment for people, most of whom may never try to do any serious off-road driving.! It remind me of Bear Grylls and his high octane show of survival in the wild, where much of what he do is not something any novice could, or should attempt, as the main objective is creating excitement for entertainment and people should realise that.🙄...
Yes agree. When you've spent say $150k to $300k upgrading an ex ADF Mog, you don't want to damage it by taking the worst track possible.
4wd action ( roothy) from years ago lost my interest for the same reason. Roothy came up gunshot in Milo and destroyed a front cv just to get an exciting shit for camera,his face told the truth,far from happy Jan. These guys are entertaining but the thought of dragging the ' toy' trailer every where is ridiculous, a lot of the drama is caused by the weight
@@jasonf1451 then what's the point? To drive it on the black top? Just send it! Finished doing the tele 2 weeks ago in a triton. No damage, no dramas, loved it!
Back in the late 90's we used to race the Unimog through the range out the back of Base and jump them over Creeks and attack the APC terraced hill climb Lock all three diffs low range and dont take ya foot off the gas. Another Mad c--t Foster would drive the Unimog 8th gear in reverse load of old Tea tree dried roots with blokes on the back as if they did a U Turn off the track the old tree stumps would puncture the sidewalls and we had to clear a drop zone. It was mad watching a Unimog doing near 60 plus KMS in reverse with a load and blokes on board but thats why the Took away the units wings because of hundreds of out there shit we got away with...≥
The Unimog is a beast! Mud is a bastard to any 4WD.
It may be a lot of theatrics but I would love to have the time, money, energy and health to do this trip.
Gday guys. What is your thoughts on the new GRENIDER. ❓❓
10 meter vertical wall? Maybe 4-5 metres.
12 ton my eye
I always felt safer and more confident in the mog than in the 110 Landrover.
Now here’s a crew I could go with, my 12 SVT Raptor. Would be awesome to get to Australia for a few months of Offroad times
What were the Unimogs replaced by?
In NZ they are being replaced by 6 wheel MAN trucks
Why aren't they towing the toy hauler with the unimog??
Cause that would make sense.
u need too put blades on the mog so u can fit in track
Why not mount a spare underneath?
Because it will not fit underneath, they are not standard wheels.
Awestayas toughest track????? wot a load of cobblers! I used to commute along there regularly, if you want tough go the old coach track into the palmer river.
how come we never see any kangaroos hopping around
I like how they said moving the log is doing their bit for the track. Why not leave the 7 metre trailer at Bramwell? Ha that would do the track a world of good. So many people drag far too much down the track it's like keeping up with the Joneses these days.
like the mog
can u take the mog in the wet season the woud be so good
please n t wet season mog or too mogs please BOYS EK my old man was in the Amy in RSA WITH THE MOG HE TOLD ME THE MOG WILL TAKE U ALL THE WAY IT UNSTOPIBELL
My two most fav Aussie Explorers! Always a pleasure to watch the pro's in action.
Well the two highest paid.
Hardly explorers, making things worse than they are, Steve Irwin went down the same track doing stuff for the camera
Where do you even buy a Unimog? 🤔
In Australia? Front line Machinery auctions.
Pickles auctions every month. They average about $26k for the 4x4's but can go up to $70k for special versions such as dump trucks. 6x6 recovery versions can be $100 plus k.
We call ours "The Honey Badger"
I know it’s for funn and views because we all know it would make wayyy more sense to hook the big Mog To the trailer and let him pull it the trailer through the woods so the Cruiser wouldn’t have to fight so hard to get through there
For coastal bushies, in their branded thongs, these dudes are soooo dramatic; they should run their unimog in the Sydney mardigras thingo and deck it out in pink ribbons and drag queens?
To match your outfit?
What ever happen to roddo?
jeez mate hows ya fuel economy with that trailer
79 landcruiser looks at home.
come to western canada,ill show you stuff that would scare you
Cool accent by the way ! You should check out Matt's off-road recovery check out the world's biggest off-road recovery vehicle !
this must have been 2017
My limit is the Kmart parking lot in Joondalup : (
Probably more hazardous than Gunshot after seeing damage done to vehicles by lunatics in carparks!
but why ?
All 4 Adventures Doing their best to wreck tracks since 2010🤦♂️
Should imagine the heavy the vehicle the worst it gets for the normal 4x4 ….especially with those tyres .
Out back in flip flops 🙊
Can't the trailer go onto the mog?
That's a union for you I used to use them every day
@hueo far Because mogs need trailers designed for the high hitch hight (which they didn't have)
First surely reply I love your videos ❤
10 metre drop hey 😂
Why is that trailer not on the mog😂
the way you're going on about that truck mate. when are you two getting married.
0 challenge for the Unimog
Where is Simon now?
He's having a break, and will apparently be back for the new All 4Adventure show soon to be shown...
@@sjc4wdoffroad.576 cool. Thanks
Great story, but the additional commentary from 3 person is a bit weird, would be a lot better if either if you guys did it
It's a proper T.V series mate, not a bloody YT show. Hence the commentary.
