Organization is the key to success and happiness here.

Yeah not much trouble packing a big 4x4 like that but how about doing it with a smaller one like a 90 series Prado? We have great fun trying to get our gear into one of those :)

I've been using a hiking tent and a Thermarest mattress for years and can set up and pack down just as quick as my mates "rolling out a swag" (and I don't have to climb on my roof to get it, or destroy my back putting it back up).
A hiking tent is a 2-3kg (1/10th the weight of a swag) and about 60% smaller. Sure, after I set up my tent I have to inflate the mattress but that takes about 30 seconds. I could go down to a ultralight hiking mat but I treat myself to a bigger mattress that packs down to the same size as a standard sleeping bag. A quality hiking tents will hold up to much more severe weather than a swag ever will. It's just so logical I don't understand why swags are so popular.

Where are you putting the spare rear main and Puma 3.2 TDCi Duratorq?

[@Jellybean00001]

Hi guys would you mind sharing information on the rear canopy. Thanks and love your videos 👍

[@4X4Australia]

Hey mate, it's an Amazon aluminium tub canopy

Putting recovery gear in drawers is a rookie error. It needs to be accessible from the outside of the vehicle, where you don’t have to open doors or tail gates to a access it.

[@Morgzy04]

What alloy canopy is that ?
