    Thank you so much for your support this year with the build. We couldn't have done it without you! 2025 will be the year of travels, where should we go? 🗺
    Happy New Year from the 3 of us ❤️
    P.S. We hope you stayed for the drone scene at the end 🤯

    The van looks amazing inside and out , it’s definitely a winner.
    Glad to see you changed that box in between the front seats with one that does not destroy your elbow!

    14:20 , Very cute seeing dad playing with the little guy (recycling rocks, lol😂) outside in the bottom left screen while you’re doing the inside kitchen tour. These 304’s are such cool vehicles. If everything is set up correctly, they can go nearly anywhere. So, they make a terrific remote location camper. Nice job on the build!! 👍🏻😎👍🏻

    Me and my family have just finished a 4 month trip in our Coaster and we are moving to Queenstown tomorrow to start our next adventure and next build. Taking time off to build our bus and travel as a family has been was the best decision we ever made and I love seeing you guys do the same with your little man.

    I drove it's "little brother" the C303 (tgb11) in the army, VERY noisy driving on road but when you go off road it's a BEAST, nearly unstoppable or that's what it feels like... Most important thing when driving off road, mind you thumbs, that steering wheel can whip hard on you.
    Good luck on your adventures, nice to see an old swedish workhorse still going strong and in a more peaceful purpose than it was originally built for! 👍🏻

    Suggestion: In the Kitchen, your drawer handle closures... If you took those small wood blocks off, drilled a shallow hole...you could glue in a strong but tiny magnet, then on the drawer face, you could adhere/embed a small piece of steel/iron. I could see those retainer clips starting to lose their friction over time, so having a hidden magnet closure would be perfect! (it'd be a fun little indoor project too...just need a small forstner bit to gouge a shallow recess for the neodymium magnet coins)

    In the final stages of a Landrover Forward Control build. 1965 S11A.
    I have been looking forward to peering through the tiny window, but you have me questioning that thought.
    I think I have more knee room. But your shifter looks more fun.
    The FC is basically stock. And I am always interested in your upgrades.
    My plan is a canvas roof with a double bed and small kitchenette. Long term.
    Short term goal is to go up hills, shoot deer. Camp.
    You guys are a great source of motivation and ideas.

    People don't realize just how much we "cage" ourselves into an itty bitty corner of reality, when you as a family discover just how vast the Nature of Earth is, looking at all those miles of Nature untouched by "man" awakens one to a higher level of Awareness.

    @WealthyChronicle Місяць тому +1

    I love the blend of nostalgia and practicality in your build. But honestly, would you recommend this lifestyle with a toddler, or is it too much work?

    • @TheOutFit
      @TheOutFit  Місяць тому

      We have never lived in a house with Oakley so for us/him this nomadic lifestyle is the norm. It may be harder to transition/downsize from a house to a vehicle but at the end of the day, parenting, no matter where you do it from, will have its challenges. You may as well do it with the nice views if you can 😊😅
      Also I (Ange) personally think overlanding with a toddler is easier than travelling by plane and going to hotels for example because you can stop whenever you want, you can still create a routine on the road, carry toys etc. Also only having one child is probably more manageable. Hope that helps :)

    Great vid with the two noisy roof top fans try a variable fan speed controller. For a similar job i put them on a waeco 220l fridge condenser. The advantage is you can set the working range the controller sends power to the fans with and the amount of current. The greater the difference the set temp is from the actual temp the faster the fans run. With this my fans instead of 100% all the time spend most of the time at around 15% speed so they are super quiet. Imagine at night your set temp is 20c the actual temp 25c but the max speed set at 30c. At 25c 50% power, 24c 40% power, 23c 30% power, 22c 20% power, 21c 10% power, 20c auto stop. They are on ebay dual fan 12v controller fully programable. Good luck
