24 Hours Off-Grid: Our 4WDs Got Destroyed

We gave ourselves exactly 24 hours to head off-road, off-grid, and test the 4WDs to their absolute limits just outside Melbourne in the Lerderderg State Park. Everything was going smoothly until the 12-hour mark, when a greasy clay hill, a massive RAM with a trailer, and a sudden downpour turned a casual weekend camp trip into a high-stakes midnight recovery rescue. From track testing and budget DIY modifications to winching in the dark and fixing track damage at camp, this is what happens when a quick 24-hour getaway turns into a series of beautiful bad ideas. 👕 GRAB THE BAD IDEAS MERCH HERE!
