30 Year Old Hiluxes vs Cape York's Most Brutal Climbs… This Was a Bad Idea

Episode 2 of Rust to Dust is here. Day 2 kicks off at Cape Tribulation as the crew wakes up in paradise, makes some running repairs to the setups and maps out the next leg of the journey north. Before the serious tracks begin, the team check out some of Cape Tribulation's best swimming spots and a sneaky fishing spot.. but it doesn't take long for things to go sideways when Mike's Hilux throws the team an early scare at a remote fishing spot. The legendary Bloomfield Track delivers steep climbs, rough terrain, and the kind of conditions that quickly expose weaknesses in 30-year-old vehicles. These old Hiluxes have made it this far, but there's still a long way to go! Cape York is only just getting started. 🏆 WIN the Retro Dream Shed!
