Overlanding Omar
Australia
Приєднався 24 кві 2020
I am Omar and together with my besties Monty & Marly we are Overlanding Omar.
SUBSCRIBE to follow Overlanding Omar on my Australian overlanding adventures in a 1989 Ex-Fire Truck Isuzu FTS700 4x4 (Suzi). I'll be circumnavigating and exploring Australia with Monty and Marly enjoying both the open road and occasional off-roading adventures which that will bring, experiencing as much of Australia's wilderness, being off-grid, sustainable and self contained as possible.
Follow Overlanding Omar on my journey as I DIY build my Overlanding Expedition Truck 'Suzi' converting her into my off-grid home. The videos will hopefully give you inspiration to do your own.

Exmouth Trip Ep35 Hybrid solar eclipse.
Переглядів 4333 місяці тому
First trip of the truck with the box. A quick trip to Exmouth to see the Hybrid solar eclipse. What a mission it was to get there on time. Had pre booked the campsite a few month previous to the event and as usual things take much longer that I anticipated, but never the less I managed to get there in the nick of time. Enjoy the video.

Finally the habitation box is on! The Marriage is done and thank goodness it went reasonably smoothly with the help of my friend Mick. Thank you Mick. I have pushed myself hard to get to this point as I made a promise to myself that I would try to get to Exmouth 930 km's north of my home town to witness my first ever total eclipse of the sun.

Will it all line up. Did I get my measurements right! Habitation Box frame test fit on my Isuzu FTS 700 Ex fire truck. Its a tense moment for sure not knowing after all the effort building the frame and the extensions whether everything will line up. Watch the episode and find out.
Habitation Box Assembly Ep32

Habitation Box Build with composite panels on my Isuzu FTS700 ex fire truck. This is a large camper box known as a big rig in Australia and sure does live up to that name for size at 4500 long, 2450 high and 2500 wide. This part of the build took a lot of man hours of organising to make sure my mates were able to be at my place at the same time. You will see the meticulous preparation of the fi...
Mounting Front frame Ep30

Front frame or Bow mounting done. We now have the main structure of the Habitation Box taking shape. A lot of hard work as usual battling wind and hot conditions, not ideal. The Isuzu FTS700 is beginning a new life from being an ex fire truck to a mobile home for me.
Mounting rear frame Ep29

Finally the habitation box is taking shape with the install of the rear frame/Bow. I needed some help with this one and got a friend to help lift it up and square it up with the aid of a material handler. Basically a manual forklift. This episode is again countless hours of editing resulting in a more palatable length to watch. I hope you enjoy it and support me and my channel by liking, commen...

Nice work Omar 👍
Thank you mate I appreciate it.
It looks flash.
@@hawkers94 thanks mate
Looks amazing Omar, great to see it coming to life, after all the hard work!!😊
@@ManagingMarathons thanks bro.
Coming along nicely Omar 👌🏻
@@Mick-sl3nv thanks Mick. Getting there
Great videos. Thanks. Where did you get the wheels and how about certification?
Nice work!
Omar, some dimensions please.... back of cab to centre rear axle. Also your box length and overall height (external) Cheers mate form cold Victoria AU.
Thanks for watching. External Box height is 3800mm. Length 4500mm x 2400mm and Width is 2500mm. As for the measurements from back of cab to centre of rear axle I don't have that, but from the back of the box which will include the spare wheel to the centre of the rear axle is 2500mm which is 20mm under the legal limit which is 60% of the measurement of the length between the centre of the front axle and rear axle which on mine is 4200mm. I hope this helps.
@@overlandingomar Thanks so much! Have been watching since the beginning. Cheers
Alot of work into that bespoke door frame... looks great!!
Where did you buy the wheels from please. Having trouble finding 8 stud
STW in perth, half the price of the qld mobs :)
Yep that’s where I bought mine
@@overlandingomar GREAT CREW THERE, doing a 2007 FTS 750, ex Rio rail chase truck, pretty similar to what you have done, fun, fun, just went to Landor races, great trip :):):), and there's 3 ways to do the rear nuts/studs, like you did or screw the inner studs on hub first, fit wheel then fit original outer nuts, or just screw inner studs only on wheel :)
Looking good Omar, that building bond is super strong!! Frame finish and varnish works well😊
Awesome work Oma, Im impressed with your build. Im at the start of mine sadly, yourself and a few others are my inspiration keep up the vids. thanks 👍
Thank you mate. I really appreciate your encouragement. It’s been a hard slog with a full time job an all. Keep at it with your build. What are you building?
@@overlandingomar Hello Omar, I own an Isuzu NPS300 (2003) crew cab 4x4. It came with a second-hand aluminum tray that I've attached. I'm working on getting it to run smoothly, addressing the small fixes it needs. I haven't yet decided on the type of slip-on to construct, whether to build a steel frame and line it or opt for a composite panel like you did.
Absolutely magnificent first journey Omar... must be such a great feeling giving her a bit of shakedown on the roads finally!! Well done!!!❤😊

I don't know how you did it with the manual caulking guns. I had to use a pnuematic gun to get the adhesive down fast enough. Looks good, bit bigger than mine
Yeah. Was bloody hard work. That’s why I did one panel at a time, with two ppl.
Great project ! Where did you buy the rubber mounts ???
Try this website. That’s where I got mine timbren.com/en-au/collections/all
Oh the fun we had Omar 😂😂
good job mr omar it's amazing to see the box from A to Z....i hope to see a vidéo about the susponsion system in chasis's body
Watch my video on building the Torsion Brackets. It explains it all there. Thanks for watching.
Omer Selam , You fixed the chassis and the box. The box will not bend and twist?
Watch my video on building the Torsion Brackets. It explains it all there. Thanks for watching.
Your videos are so nice👏👏👍 from I.R.I🇮🇷❤😊
Isnt a engineer modification plate (certification needed), not just as simple as swapping out tyres ?? It was for my fuso canter 4x4, then it had to go back over the dept of transport pits for registration checks
I apologize.. have not seen all your videos. Just came across them. What is the rubber unit you are using as a captured spring? Name I can search by? Does one of your videos cover why you chose that item over others manufactures or between versions by same manufacture?
Hi @coachgeo. ‘AEON’ distributed by Timbren. This is the company I dealt with. They are a Canadian company, but I used and Aussie distributor. I haven’t done a specific video of why I used except that I know most of the fire truck of that era in Australia used them. Here’s the link to get you started: timbren.com/en-au
A very hard and good work nothing to say bro you are a ginus ❤❤❤ tbarkellah 3lik sidi omar
Thankq a lot mr omar i really appreciate the scientific sens you have about the physics of offroading expédition vehicul ...im going to build my own truck in morocco , w'd you please to share with us the links of products y've used in yoyr truck . Thanks a lot bro .❤❤❤❤❤❤
what are these tyres please Omar?
They are Berkeley’s 385x65x22.5
hey Omar these look mad! love them. wondering if they are legal though if picked up by the police?
Already been stopped by the police for speeding! I was in an 80km zone due to road works and I was doing 80 on the speedometer, but it actually was about 86! So they stopped me and had a good look at the truck and explained about the over sized tires and to be under what my speedo was reading to compensate for the larger diameter etc. They were very pleasant and let me go with a caution.
Great Vid Omar, can’t wait to see the truck complete, bet it looks awesome 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Mick. Can’t wait for the completion too😎
did i miss ep 25 or there isnt one?
Not sure what happened, but I skipped an episode number!
Wow all held together by glue. I didn’t think glue would be strong enough!
Yeah it’s amazing stuff. All the German box manufacturers use it in all those million dollar plus big rigs.
@@overlandingomar learn something new every day! Amazing how far technology has come
You explained nothing!!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this What was the cost?
If you mean the panel costs. Then they were $10000 AUD
@@overlandingomar Oh wowwwww. That’s fantastic. Well done.
@@overlandingomar Who did you buy the panels from? I’m based in Melbourne
@@poerava I’m in WA got them from AFA (Advanced Fiberglass Australia) Perth
Wow! Lots of work...big panels to maneuver- coming along nicely though!!
Great episode Omar, my eyes are still recovering from the whiteness of those bloody panels. Green was the only colour I have seen since 😂😂😂
Ha ha. You and me both 😎😂
Where I live its logging country, all logging trucks here have dullies apart from the front axle, truck owners are very aware of updates for their trucks but, no wheel change. Pickup truck dollies fit a 1-2" steel ring between the back wheel pairs that pretty much aradicates stone pick up.
Another great information packed video Omar, well done mate and it’s coming along a treat. Top job mate
Thanks Mick. Yep bit by bit 😎
Sorry Omar, been a tad busy to watch but binge watching as we speak. Starting to come together nicely mate. Some serious fabrication. Top job mate. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great work Omar… how did it work out? Any last minutes tips or suggestions… did your weight ratings work out well? Thank you
Haven’t really had the chance to test it out fully. Box is yet to go on Will keep you posted. Getting closer now
@@overlandingomarthanks for responding .. have a good day..
You are making good progress with the frame, you'll have it all boxed up in no time.
Yes definitely taking shape. For sure
Big job!! Good thing Ron was there to lend a hand. Love the welding with blanket over your head!
Yeah the neighbours always thought I was weird. Now the have proof 😂
@@overlandingomar haha😆
Coming together now Omar, looks great mate 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Mick.
Nice job starting to take shape.
Thanks David. It’s definitely taking shape
Big job!! Good you had someone to help you👍😁
Keep the videos coming, your doing a great job. Love the tail gate lift idea will be putting that on my truck when I get started on it.
Thank you David. I appreciate your support.
Happy new year...looking forward to more vids.
Happy New Year to you too. Yep will be more vids coming for sure.
Great job looks great 👍
Thanks. 🙏
Nice truck👍
Thanks 👍
No crush tubes?
I decided to use a 6mm plate welded either side of the chassis rails instead, then I mounted the fixed chassis attachment which in itself also 8mm thick. I haven’t torqued them down yet, but I believe they should be 248 ft/b at M16 gal. I’m keen to know what your thoughts are. Thanks for the comment.
Congratulations looking good down to the details
Thank you. I appreciate that
Another great episode Omar, coming together well mate 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Mick 🙏
For the calculating load on each sub chassis support it will depend on the weight distribution of the suspended load (the camp box) Look into videos on "free body diagrams" and "beam deflection calculation : point loads and distributed loads" and that will give you a better idea of how to calculate. Keep in mind that dividing by four is probably good enough as long as you are very conservative with your weights etc
