About us:
We're Jack & Megan, and in late 2020 we sold our belongings and packed our lives into our 2005 Toyota Troop Carrier to travel Australia. Our original plan was to complete a full lap of Australia and return home to Perth to resume our 'normal' lives. We decided we wanted to document our lap for the future and began sharing weekly travel vlogs of our life on the road and fell in love vlogging, filmmaking and sharing our lives with you. We completed our first lap and couldn't imagine living any other way so we decided to continue travelling and calling the Troopy home. We have gone on some crazy adventures since then and it is all thanks to you tuning in to join us every week.
I gotta say, the editing on these daily vlogs are really good. most people just kind of stich a few clips together and call it a day. But then you guys do it and you throw in the B-Roll, the outtakes, the sweet drone footage, andthe music. You guys put the effort into it! Certainly makes for great entertainment.
Thanks mate! Yeah our plan is to try our best to keep the quality as much as we can as soon as we think it’s been lost we will go back to 1 a week. We like a challenge we will see how we go!
Stop doubting yourselves, you guys are doing an amazing job, best parts of travelling & life aren't planned that's what makes you guys so real..
Love the videos & seeing you two exploring our great backyard the more we see you, the more we feel like your our family..
Keep it up 🥰🥰🥰
Waterholes, Megan swims in them but don't drink from them. Jack drinks from them but doesn't swim in them. You two are hilarious. Loving the vlogs.👍👍
Blackdown Tableland National Park is amazing. The drive up is spectacular as is the view from the first stop just before you hit the dirt. We didn't get down to the falls so glad we got to see it through your journey. Keep having fun.
Hello Jack and Megan I had a 1hz landcruiser and the injector pump started leaking, turns out the diesel that we use now doesnt agree with the seals in the older pumps, so had a new updated seal kit put through the pump and no more problems, hope this helps
Thanks for that Scott!
Love the extra blogs. A little bit often is awesome. You guys are so real and honest and I love your smiley faces. Keep up the adventures. VENTURE ON!
Thanks Annie glad your enjoying them 👍😊 Venture on is starting catch on!!!
Hey jack & Megan IV got a 1hz engine,it's ok to drive to get out of trouble until it gets fixed , could be o rings or a crack under fuel pump, I'm a mechanic. Cheers Chris
Loving the daily episodes! You Guys are never boring. So authentic and down to earth. As long as it’s good for you Guys, keep going
I don't post comments very often, but I've been watching your videos for almost 2 years. I like to put on your videos on my days off and just let them play. I live in Alaska and I would love to visit Australia some day. I really love how your videos have evolved and they now show more of the challenges and joys of daily life. As a person who will probably never actually get to visit Australia, this gives me a glimpse into real life. I very much enjoy it and the company you provide. Your joy, your honesty, your struggles, they're quite lovely.
Also, don't drink unfiltered water- you risk a gut infection that can really mess you up, even if the water tastes wonderful and appears clean. They sell small, inexpensive filters for water bottles to avoid troubles.
Happy travels and thank you for sharing.
What a nice couple, so down to earth and easy to warm too.
Love your adventures and terrific commentary.
Wish you guys all the very best.
Keep up the great work and have fun.
The benefits of being tiny and nimble. There is no way I can change on the same spot Megan did.😁
Hi Megan and Jack ( ladies first) I'm loving the daily vlogs, I enjoy every moment of your adventures, you are both so down to earth, no bullshit. Keep them up if you can , safe travels. Steve
Keep it up guys! Thank you for these, it's great to be shown around the quieter areas of Oz with Aussies for a change!
The Diesle leak maybe just the feed or return line but if not there are service plugs on the side of the pump that have o’rings that can be replaced this is a very cheep fix or you may need to overhaul the injector pump but this is quite pricey but this is something you will only need to do once every 400,000 kms or so, love you videos guys 😊
you guys are doing great...everyone else is doing the same thing and it becomes boring...you guys are keeping it fresh!
Spectacular falls! Thanks!
We just got back from another remote camp and so catching up with your vlogs. Really guys you should not doubt yourselves for one minute. Anyone can film the landscape but you capture it and take us with you. would say more but have to watch the next one.
Hey guys,
Hope you had a great trip! Going remote is the best kind of trip!! Thanks for the kind words mate. We really appreciate it 👍😊
LOL @ No Gas, you guys are a laugh a min. Brilliant vlog and photography
Love the coast, love the water, but I am so excited to go inland, great job guys!!!
Hi Jack and Megan ... re your fuel leak, there is a small lever on the top plate of the fuel pump that has an O ring in it. It is not uncommon for these to leak. Need to remove the top plate to replace the O ring and as someone else mentioned the fuel pump needs to come off to replace the ones on the side. Give it a degrease to see where it is coming from. Good luck.
Great vlog guys, we are always waiting for your next upload. Keep doing what you are doing. Mal and Di
You do an amazing job Jack and Megan love the episode love the walking again the troopy is a legend love the rivier were you stopped lost and found
Blackdown is awesome! Another spot to check out next time is Carnarvon Gorge, it's a bigger version of Blackdown and is beautiful. I live and work there and it'd be awesome to see ya's along the trail 😄🏞️
That is a wonderful water fall and pond great scenery wonderful video
Thanks so much for watching Robert! It's a beautiful national park isn't it!
Another awesome video. Enjoying the channel. Love the personal touch, knowing more about you guys not just your travels. Xox
Keep going we love you guys alot 💗💗💗 you're in our neck of the woods
good to see some of the places you go to ... gives me some ideas of what to see on my travels
I had the same issue with my Troopy. Fixed by way of an exchange fuel pump $3000 + $600 deposit on return of old fuel pump plus my mechanics bill who also suggested replacement Timing Belt and Tensioning pully as all needs to come off when replacing the fuel pump. A costly but worthwhile excercise.
Wow that’s expensive! Hopefully ours is ok!
New subscriber here. You guys are doing amazing job, keep pushing as UA-cam is recommending your channel now to new audience. Just keep it regular, the content is great
Hey Jack, I just found a diesel leak on the Patrol coming from back of injector pump yesterday. Found it was a cracked rubber hose above the pump. I'm now trying to get a new one. Let us know what your issue is when you find it.
Marty from Perth
Keep doing what you're doing, love it!
Really need to inspect diesel pump to see where leak is from. It might be hose or 'o' ring. They do have seal kits. But you can also buy reconditioned fuel pumps.
Megan & Jack thanks for the video 👍👍👍
G'day jack and Megan. I've been following u guys for a while now. And to be honest I don't mind the Vlogs or the "episode" versions. Both are enjoyable to watch. If you're struggling to get into the rhythm of Vlogs. Maybe u could mix it up a bit. Sometimes just throw together a Vlog and other times an episode... there's no rules to this UA-cam stuff
She isn’t looks like Megan but definitely looks like Kate 😘 love your videos. Xx
Hi Jack .the fuel leak could be as simple as the timing plate seal which is not an expensive fix .find a injection service center when you can and have it looked at. cheers and hope that is all it is .Good vid by the way but try not to get lost to often .
I really like your vlogs! Sometimes the mundane and boring can be good to watch. Because it’s relatable. And some of us just enjoy the ‘company’. Well that’s what I feel like when I watch the vlog style anyway. I feel like I’m hanging with yous as mates.
Best ever keep being natural, followed you guys from the start most enjoyable channel on UA-cam. Keep on going!
Cheers John
Thanks so much John! Thanks for following along for so long!!
Probably just the return to the pump from the injectors which is a little rubber hose which perish. Either that or the seal where the throttle pivot goes into the top of the pump. Not so easy to fix but not a massive job either. Good luck.
I saw the sneaky kettlebell in there.
How great are they for workout one thing for whole body workout can't beat it.
They’re brillant! When we actually use it 🤣😂😂
Another great vlog good on you so natural.
What ever you guys do is good quality. 👍
Thanks Rob! We really appreciate it 👍👍😊
Hey Jack and Megan looks great, love watching your journey! Central Queensland is such a nice place to visit, I'm in Gladstone and have been for some time now ! Enjoy your time here!
Thanks Danny! We just love Queensland it’s such a special place hey!
Yes it certainly is guy's, enjoy ur travels and continue with your daily volgs!!!!
Hay Jack you might need to get someone to have a look at your Troopy injector pump as mine did the same thing over a period of time until it started leaking badly ... it is most likely the o-rings on the side of your pump which are quite cheep but if it is on the side that faces your engine block ( high pressure side ) the pump needs to come off for that. If you have noticed some power lose & fuel economy not as grate as it use to be it is most likely the high side o-rings that have gone, maybe someone in the area you are in can recommend a good diesel pump & injector place if there got the right tools they can have it done in a few hours.
Have you guys been to Byfields Nat'l Park? If not try Five Rocks or Stoney Creek around that area they are a must places to visit here at Central Highlands. Great vlogs!
Enjoying the daily blogs. Could you please give a little more info on your locations. Keep them coming guys
Thanks Gary! Will do mate 😄👍
Best to see the daily activities gives a realistic prospective of life on the road. Not every day will be filled with great sights and places to see but that is real reality blog. Keep up the great blogs guys. Just be careful you don't burn yourself out trying to achieve the frequency of blogs it can really be hard work.
Nice work as usual.
Keeping it real guys, the poor Guy getting busted laying a cable probably didn't even get a chance to wipe lol....hey don't mess with the Fuel Leak, it maybe Pump rebuild time, Seal Failure has been a issue since they took the Sulphur out of Diesel, they dry out, you should run a additive.
Hi MJs, loved the down to earth nature of this video. More importantly how did the chook turn out?
Love the new format great point of difference guys . Megan you have to get Jack in the next water fall xxxx lol
Wonderful video. Thanks for making us travelling with you guys ♥
G’day guys. Your doing a great job just be yourselves and don’t worry too much on all the hoora on editing side of things. Jack you cracked me up on the out take doing circles as Megan ran back for the cam, something I would do too. Regards, Mario.
Thanks for watching Mario! That’s so funny you noticed that in the outtakes I thought it was a classic to 🤣🤣😂
Hi Jack and Megan, Re your diesel leak. I have a 1HZ troopy had it for years and just had the same problem. It is quite a common problem and the pump will require seald done. Best to get it done professionally as the pump should come off and be done in a clean environment as if the external seal is leaking then the seal on the timing belt end is probably not far off leaking. It really is a job for a specialist. Hope this helps. I enjoy your show. Happy travels. Regards Greg
Thanks for the help Greg I’ll pop into a mechanic soon and have them look at it!
Damn, I’m thinking you’ve already passed Carnarvon Gorge and or Expedition Nat Park. So much too see, great area to explore
Great vid guy's,your smashing the vlog side.Thanks for your effort.👍🏾👴🏾
Liking the daily blogs .
Thanks Trevor! So happy to hear you’re enjoying them 😊
Went to Blackdown Tablelands last month for our first camping trip in Australia. The view at the 4wd loop was amazing.
Yes!! That view is incredible hey!
We also went to the Blackdown Tablelands a couple weeks ago and found it stunning and off the beaten track. Again, loving your vlogs cos it feels like we are right there with you!
Such an amazing place hey! Very of the beaten track 🤣 thanks for following along😊
I'm absolutely loving your content.
Just to give you some feedback ☺️
Keeping it real guys, looks like nice fishing hole at campsite.
Thanks Wade!!
Loving the style of these daily vlogs! Really really suits you guys and it’s so damn entertaining! You guys have inspired my partner and I to do the big lap next year and this videos are making us more keen then ever! Appreciate it!
Hey guys! Thanks for following along! That’s so great to hear your doing the lap as well!! Best thing you will ever do 🙏👍😊
What a great-looking spot you found outside Rocky to camp up.
Thanks Geoff it’s a beautiful place hey!!
Loved this ... the vlogs are great. Keep it going guys.
How you going guys. Good videos. How does your travel buddy oven go and agm battery when your parked up cooking
Well done guys, if that’s not planing your day , It was really great
It turned out pretty good in the end 🤣
🎥😍👍👍👍 good luck 😃
Beautiful rock pools. Maybe three times a week blogs would give you more time and you can chill some. ❤️
Just remember, you can never be lost. Keep walking in a straight line until you come to the coast. Then turn left, or right and continue walking until you find something you recognise. Want more top tips? Just ask. ;)
Noice... do ya add anything else to the cooking ? to act as a sauce to cook in ??
Nah just that garlic oil! Was delicious 😋 although looked like a dog’s breakfast in the dark so we didn’t end up showing it haha
Another great vlog.
With your leak I think there is a plug in the back of the pump that is an easy job apparently. So hopefully you only need a copper washer or o’ring. Check all your fuel lines. Hopefully it not a pump out job. Love your work guys.
Thanks for watching mate! Yep I think what you have mentioned is exactly what it is!
@@itsJackandMegan Jack , if you managed to see my photo albums on the other site , there's an album there called "Bosch VE type injector pump" which is what I think you have on the 1HZ , made by Nippon Denso under license from Bosch . It'll give you an idea of how it's put together , might help as a reference perhaps .
@@Gordon_L I was literally just looking at that on your page!! Thanks.
So far so good guys with the daily, more frequent vlogs. Keep going 👏🍻😊
Thanks mate!! Hope you’re well 🙏👍😊
@@itsJackandMegan All good here thanks. Can't wait to be back on the road, couple more weeks. 😛
Still got to enjoy yourselves and nit spend the whole time stressing about getting a daily "vlog"
IMO your weekly Sunday ones were great and something to look forward to and gave you guys a chance to put together something over time not spend all day filming then editing.. just my thoughts but I'm a no body haha
Ohh don’t say that, we definitely value your opinion! I think we’d usually still be on the same kind of filming/editing schedule with just the one video a week but we’re just trying to be a bit more open and honest with what goes into our daily life in our videos lately. Thankfully we still enjoy all sides of it so don’t really feel stressed about it, just want to make it as enjoyable for the viewer as possible. Think we just had a lot of self doubt on this day because the other videos hadn’t gone live yet so were a bit unsure haha. Thanks so much for watching, we really appreciate it!
Hi jack and Megan how are you doing guys I am cruising around where you guys are keep an eye out for me on the road Toyota hulix
Did you try and fish at the last camp site? 12mins onward?
Didn’t have any bait 😅 otherwise I would have, was a few people fishing further down but didn’t look like they had much luck. 😊
Marco!!
Polo!!
cool video .. gonna have to keep a GPS watch or something 📡💻🏞️🛻🤙😎📹
loved it guys, what happened with the fuel leak??? I have the same motor but never experienced that issue after nearly 400k kilometers.......
touring & camping is a bit like a box of chocolates - you never know what's around the corner and looks like you found a little gem of a camp site - sort of reminds me of the Murry River along the NSW & Vic boarder. That dinner looked perfic, how did it end up? I do similar with a big chunk of chuck and whatever left over veg I have slow cooked in the oven and it never misses being delish. 👍🥩😋
Hey Steve, thanks for watching mate! Yeah haven’t figured out the leak yet it’s a very slow on someone mentioned it could be an o ring which is easily replaced haven’t worried to much about it yet it seems to be in and of very weird! Still getting about 600km to our 90litre tanks is that around what you get as well?
Hi mate, yeah just keep an eye on it and maybe get it seen too once you hit a bigger town, you will prob tell by your milage per tank if it's getting any worse, ummmm 600k is okish - not sure what weight you have on board, I consistently get 1440km per 150lt (I don't run both tanks dry) around town and hwy.
Hi guys, really enjoy your vids and any chance of a catch and cook in any future vids? 👍
Hey Henry,
Thanks for watching!! Yes definitely going to give it our best shot with a catch and cook coming soon.
How did dinner turn out on the fire?
Turned out brilliant sorry we didn’t show it 😅 we were very hungry by the time it was done. It didn’t look to appetising either 😂😂
your boring is not boring and daily vlog is good to watch. not a huge fan of channels that change to a more unnatural commercial style video so your change is a welcome change. Not that anything you have done in the past is not good, it just means more of your content can be enjoyed now.
