Video summary

Press to jump

  1. 0:20The convoy sets out to return the battered 60 Series to Zeehan through the Mile of Mud.
  2. 2:46Brocko's window regulator fails, leaving the driver's window open in the rain.
  3. 6:23The LandCruiser slips sideways into a muddy rut and needs recovery from behind.
  4. 10:45A massive fallen gum tree forces the convoy onto a steep, slippery bypass.
  5. 15:58Odell's sliding Triton requires stabilization and a twin-winch recovery.

Brocko has bilge pumps clearing muddy water from the LandCruiser's cabin, which tells you something about how this homecoming is going. Getting the battered Toyota to Zeehan is the mission; Tasmania's Mile of Mud makes even modest progress a job for the whole convoy.

The expedition was the most-watched new release in 4WD 24-7's fifteen-upload week, reaching roughly half a million views. Jock McDonald brings the HiLux, Jesse the GU Patrol, Laurie the twin-locked GQ and Odell a newly built Triton. Brocko gets the underpowered 60 Series, without locking differentials and with a window that refuses to close in the rain.

Beyond the fallen-tree trouble we reported here, the audience conversation has settled on the people doing the driving. Viewers describe Brocko's trip as an initiation, offer encouragement about taking his time and point out how comfortably he handles the camera. Laurie's GQ gets its own running observation: the vehicle wearing the winch branding seems to need remarkably little winching.

The full episode remains the channel's busiest upload right now. Around it, the week's shorter offerings turn broken windows and improvised repairs into bite-sized viewing, alongside jokes about vehicles held together with zip ties. A Savannah Way upload involving crocodiles and scarce fuel is also among the active draws.

Subscribers held steady, while daily views are running below the channel's usual level. Among nearby motoring channels, ThoughTaken had a particularly large week and CarsandCameras was quieter. For 4WD 24-7, the most distinctive contribution remains a homecoming where getting water out of the car is part of keeping it moving.
