I too love the old front end on the 70s...round headlights! I laughed at Goose bouncing around with no shocks on! I had a buddy in high school that had an oldsmobile that rode like that, we called it the hoopty. I enjoyed the video, great editing Kelsey! I don't know why you guys don't have a million subs! Cheers!
One of the most interesting videos imo. Totally get the anxiety of letting anyone else work on the truck. It also illustrates the importance of the logistics behind being able to do all the cool remote stuff. Oil changes are a stressful business on the road. Another tick in the column for petrol vs diesel.
We've been so fortunate to need very little work done, but each time it becomes an adventure. What do you think makes the Diesel/Gas difference in this case?
@@rufant6110 Ah, I see what you're saying now. Yah, the black mud AKA oil of our friends as we travel compared to ours still being amber-ish after 5 or more thousand miles was wild.
Awesome video! I lived in the Dominican Republic for a while, and the amount of time it would take to get stuff done was very similar to what you guys experienced. "Mañana" is like a way of life for millions of people, haha. Also, it's cool that you actually know your truck so that you're not at the total mercy of some unknown mechanic. Also, love the SpongeBob transitions lol
It's not all waterfalls, beaches and rainbows, is it! I actually carried one full oil change worth of oil (16 qts) with me on my false start to SA. Even though I used it, I won't do that when I restart. I'll just bring the filters as they could be difficult to find but I'm sure I will be able to find oil that I (my engine) can live with. Thanks for sharing!
Is it difficult to find parts for the 80 series in South America? And for the petrol engine? I grew up there and I remember seeing more diesel trucks...Nice videos guys!
Lucas, not in most countries, but it depends on where we are. In Colombia and Bolivia they only had Petrol Cruisers, but in some of the other countries they had diesel. Either way we could get what we needed if we were willing to wait a few weeks or months.
The altiplano and Santa Cruz de la Sierra are two different worlds. Glad you got to see both. Safe travels mis amigos.
This video was a reality check. Overlanding isn’t all the sexy cool stuff, it’s grimy, gritty and yet, it still looks like so much fun!!
Always an adventure and sometimes it's a good lesson in patience. Haha

Hoopty suspension for sure!
The Best part of the video 1:22 through 1:53 cool cruisers
Loveing the beer, older trucks and your safe travels. #gooserocks

@@SaltySunriseSailing Diesels need the oil changing twice as regularly, generally.

Always a joy to watch your guy’s videos.

Good call. We did the same thing at first and then just carried 3 or so filters. If the oil seemed of bad quality we'd just change it sooner.
