You can purchase the episodes on Vimeo, once the episode has been broadcast a week later it is avalable on Vimeo.

Welkom Bernie!! Now post some pics of YOUR Hilux and other vehicles... Rumour has it there could be a few in the garage??
I really do enjoy the show. Just like it was said numerous times on different forums... Just too short and too little route info. Keep it up.

LOL!! Thank you...I wish those rumours were true!! The pics you see on my signature is my one and only!!

Time constraints are a huge problem.....we do post links to info of places visited on the Facebook page...THAT 4x4 SHOW

This week Im in the Kaokoveld with the Prado......great vehicle but in my view they have gone to soft, I prefer the previous Prado 120.

Hope you enjoy the episode!!

Welcome oom Bernie, this forum is way more fun and light hearted than any you will ever be on. Fact. The guys also know what they are talking about, unlike some specialized web wheelers I have come to see on some forums. Welcome, oom.

Bernie,

Nog nie gedink om die reeks op dvd beskikbaar te stel nie, ala Voetspore of so iets?

En ook 'n lekker reeks oor daai lekker vas sit en recoveries wat jy nie mag uitsaai nie?

Ek geniet 'n 4x4 program maar het 'n honger na iets meer tegnies asook dit wat die gewone shows nie wys nie. Baie min ouens kan R750k op 'n speelding uitgee. Die wat kan sal 99% van die tyd ook nooit hul voeruite bos toe vat nie, dus is dit nodig om gewone mense in bekostigbare voertuie ook lugtyd te gee?

Dalk so paar extreme kompetiese karre feature en dan weer bv. voertuie wat elke dag hard werk om 'n lewe te maak. En sommer ook 'n paar goed ingerigte overlanders en dalk 'n iets om te wys hoe kan iemand op 'n studente budget ook die lekker van Afrika geniet.

Ek weet nie veel van jou program nie en het ook nie toegang tot dstv nie, dus is my opinies soos deur my bril gesien.

Ps. As ek reg is, is jy uit Bloem uit met 'n 4.5 Cruiser?

More!

Daar is so baie dinge wat ek graag sou wou doen......probleem is tweeledig......tyd en geld.

Die eerste reeks sowel as die tweede reeks is beskikbaar op Vimeo, reeks twee se episodes is beskikbaar 'n week na uitsending, dis baie goedkoper om dit daar af te laai as om 'n DVD te koop.

Kompetisie karre is nie regtig ons ding nie en word gedek deur TV programme elders......ons probeer fokus op die "gewone" 4x4's daar buite alhoewel ons wys wat party mense doen met hulle 4x4's wanneer geld nie 'n kwessie is nie...wat my betref is dit nie die roete wat ek sou gaan met my voertuig nie, jy skep meer probleme as iets anders, vir een begin gewig 'n groot rol speel en loop jy die risiko om stewige boetes te kry ens. Die gevolge alleen is 'n heel ander gesprek.

Ek sou graag mense wou plekke gaan wys wat bereikbaar is sonder dat jy 'n 4x4 nodig het in die droee tye. Veral op 'n student se begroting.....wie weet...dalk in die toekoms?

Ek het 39 jaar in Bloemfontein gebly en het twee 4.5 EFI's gehad waarmee ek toere begelei het, het egter hulle verkoop toe ek vir 'n bekende 4x4 winkel gewerk het. Ek is nou amper 3 jaar weh by hulle en doen weer toere, ek ry nou 'n Hilux V6.

Dankie vir jou terugvoer en gesels! Ek waardeer dit!!

Everything is done strategically oom Bernie, and the main reason is we would never hear the end of it when he gets that certificate, I think they're just playing it safe.

Ok,

Let me put the cat amongst the pigeons here....

The Unit Standard training has it's origin for govt and corporate institutions that needed a standard against which to train....Im sure we understand how and why so Im not gonna explain that now.

The "pie" in the sky was that with a DCC (Driver Compatency Certificate) you would be allowed in ecologically sensitive areas under guidance....not a bad idea.....so where are these areas you might ask?? This is where the problem now comes in.....these areas where to be identified and then enviromental impact studies would be done...so how far are they with this?.....these areas havnt even been identified yet.......impact study is a minimum of 18 months to two years......

Im sure you will see what the benefit of a "DCC" certificate is now.....absolutely nothing guys!!! Where do people go on their 4x4 holidays? Neighbouring countries.....and then that certificate is worth nothing......and PLEASE.......Im NOT knocking training at all......by all means get trained please...Im just saying.....dont let people bullshit you with it's gonna be law one of these days etc.....know the facts......

My two cents worth!!

Enjoy your Monday!!

Bernie most of the guys here KNOWS I am pro training.

My first trail was done with friends - with one chap taking out time to teach a couple of newbies the ropes ....

then a couple of Andrew's CD's, also the Safari Centre CD's.

Only then did I get the opportunity to do official training - training for the sake of training, not for some paper/certificate.

Much later I did the RPL thing and obtained the certification.

I still recommend training for the sake of training - somehow the whole mood changes when it is done for a piece of paper ....

It is just better for your vehicle and the environment when you KNOW how to get the best out of your vehicle.

sadly the worst abuse of nature I have seen had NOTHING to with training, but everything with the testosterone levels of a young playboy intent on showing off ..... doubt training will stem his testosterone levels ....

strange how vocal SA is against guides ... yet see how we use guides for the prestine trails/routes in neighbouring countries ...

Welkom hier Bernie

In die programme wat ek gekyk het noem julle nie die probleme nie of word julle nie toegelat om die borge se produkte se negatiewe punte te noem nie? Ek dink dit is baie belangrik dat mense weet watse problem hulle kan teekom as hulle sekere modifikasies op hulle voertuie doen. As julle dit wel noem dan het ek dit gemis, ignoreer my opmerking dan.

"Ek sou graag mense wou plekke gaan wys wat bereikbaar is sonder dat jy 'n 4x4 nodig het in die droee tye. Veral op 'n student se begroting.....wie weet...dalk in die toekoms?"

Dink dit is n goeie idee maar pas dit in by n program wat se naam "That 4x4 show" is en nie "That 4x2 show" nie.

Hi Jaans,

Daar is plekke in Botswana en Namibia wat 'n 4x4 nie regtig nodig is maar wel baie help.

In 'n sekere mindere mate kan ek se maar nie heeltemal nie, jy het dit reg oor borge ens.....dit sou ongelooflik lekker gewees het om 'n borg of borge te he wat nie direk of indirek geraak sou word as mens dood eerlik moet wees.....maar dit knor om borge te kry vir die program, as daar ouens daar buite is wat weet of wat graag betrokke sou wou wees stuur my 'n e pos asb bernie@bernie.co.za

UIt ondervinding het ek al geleer dat ombouings 'n manier het om jou in die steek te laat op kritieke oomblikke.

Groete

Must admit also have a soft spot for the 120, one day will be our family car.

Arme kind is totaal verward .....

Gebore toe sy ouers n 80's Range Rover gehad het - SY 4x4 (ja, al die 4x4's is syne)

In die laaste 18 maande het Riaan twee keer meer spandeer aan daai voertuig as waarvoor hy dit uituindelik weggegee het ..... so ou Landy/Rangie is lekker wanneer hy die slag loop .... maar MENS dit kos geld om hom op die pad te hou !!

Intussen is sy pa se dag kar n VW Caddie, mamma ry n Sirion.

Op 14 dae was dit sy eerste wa van ons af:

Tyd stap aan, en op 18 maande was dit tyd vir n elektriese kar - met n remote control, net ingeval dinge gevaarlik raak .... sies tog, kyk net wat doen n RR aan n kind !!

: DSCN1208 (Small).JPG (62.41 KiB) Viewed 3145 times

binne enkele dae kon die man beter reverse park as meeste drywers op die pad !!

Kort hierna wat sy pa die Range Rover verkoop het ... was dit nou snot en trane vir die klein man !!! Maar nou is hy LIEF vir SY 120. :)

en toe raak dit weer tyd vir my om nog n speelding aan te skaf vir die man ....

Hy het so paar weke terug 3 geword, maar SO handig agter n stuur ! :)

Is there anywhere I can find more info on the heidelberg 4x4 route? See on facebook only a tel no. Is it open to the public? Must be close to us and sounds like an outing that might be worth the while.

How serious is the trial ito rating? 3/4 or more? Can one attempt it alone or rather not...

No reply yet from FB either... Anyone else with some info on this trial?

Post by **CasKru** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 8:10 pm

I would rate Heidelberg 4x4 trail with a max of 4 (vehicle damage possible). The majority is nice and easy going and great fun. There is a play area where you can get into some trouble if you are not careful.

And if it rained this play area gets even more interesting.

ChrisF · Post by **ChrisF** » Sat Aug 09, 2014 2:51 pm

New episode is VERY nice.

that Cruiser looks nice .... maar MENS dis n klomp geld vir ekstras ....

I take it some gearing was changed for the 37'' tires ...
