www.adventure-videos.com Fraser Island is the biggest Sand Island in the World. A perfect place for a great adventure. It is located not too far from Brisbane, QLD on the east coast of Australia. It’s 4×4 adventure only, the highway is the beach, and you can take some bypass accross the island. You will see some wild dingos and some of the most amazing travel sceneries in OZ. It’s an adventure you can’t forget. I had a lot of fun to do this travel, while camping near the beautiful beaches, visiting Lake McKenzie, the ship wreck, go through the 4WD indian head bypass, and much more. I recommend that adventure trip to everybody! Video Rating: 0 / 5

Diff Breathers
When a hot axle hits cold water it cools rapidly. This has the effect of lowering the air pressure inside the axle and the diff housing, causing air to be drawn in via the diff breathers.
Extending your diff breathers higher up the chassis (standard on most Landcruisers) with the aid of plastic tubing is a “must do” for regular water goers. The 4x4 pictured has run both front and rear breathers to a high position on the firewall under the bonnet. However, it is no guarantee that water will not enter your diff.
The sudden reduction in air pressure inside your diff can still cause water to be drawn in via your axle seals if the diff breathers do not equalize the pressure quick enough. This is why its still necessary to allow the 4x4 time to cool down, even when extended diff breathers are fitted.

Courage!! lol Je suis tombée par hasard sur tes vidéos. Je prépare un itinéraire semblable au tiens pour Décembre 2009. 6 mois Ouest Canadien, 6 mois Australie, 3 mois Japon, et le reste pas encore planifié. En regardant tes vidéos tu me donne le goût de voyager encore plus.
BRAVO
