This is SO good!! Great information. After watching a ton of 4XOverland, I love hearing Paul Marsh’s ideas and priorities and applying them to my build. It was great hearing about “Andrew’s truck”
Paul's way with words soft and so easy to the ears of a novice. This makes it very addictive to listen to him. There's a whole lot that goes into theses landcruisers to be able to overland. The dents on the bank accounts must be humongous! Like the double cab cruiser, how much did it cost to buy and have it in Pristine shape to overland?
Though not an overland purposed vehicle, I was able to design my wd21 pathfinder for extended camping trips and work/payloads through Paul's and Andrew's teaching. It inspired me and I was confident and able to create a truck that suits my needs. From the suspension, interior mods and custom roof rack to the mechanical parts and kit I should carry. Priceless info that you share and I am certainly grateful for it. Cheers from N.Y.
I saw Paul's grey 80-Series Cruiser parked at the Raffles Hotel here in Cambodia last year when he came through on the Myanmaar Rally. Would have been chuffed to see him and chat.
@@Africasideways I do live in the desert, and we have't much rain lately. The locals here are fine with small, 4 cylinder offroad vehicles. Only our tourists HAVE to have 4WD. When they crash, they fill up our ER on weekends.
@@Africasideways I'm in SoCal's Mojave Desert. If every trip was like Mengle Pass, my 4cyl 2WD Tacoma "solution" wouldn't fly. But 95% of the places I wanna go, I can easily go.
Paul, always a pleasure listening to you share those expertise. Came here from 4xOverland. Have got a cruiser myself and been to countless Safari's here in Kenya. Lots of built cruisers here in Kenya, come over sometime! let me know ;)!
Informative, entertaining, Paul has an amazing way of holding attention of the listener, I personally loved it, however the machine shop noise in the background not good for me, that said, I would sooner with, than no video at all, thank you Paul. ( 80 overlander owner)
They've been putting the 4.5 litre in the 79 series double cab for a couple of years in SA. The single cab is still the old 4.2 diesel, one of the finest engines ever produced.
@@Africasideways I agree, the older six cylinder engines are far more reliable and less complicated. I have a hj61 Sahara with a factory turbo 12ht in it and after 34 years it's still going strong
The last mistake that Toyota makes will be to remove the 1HZ from the troopy. The engine is excellent. In Tanzania they are run down to 1 Million kilometers and are still going good
Hi Paul, thanks for sharing ur experience. I own a triton and I Wana get an overland car likes of patrol, old cruisers etc. Can u brief me on the deference between coils springs and leave spring the comfort on the gravel roads, confuse. Thanks
Coils are more comfortable on rough gravel and provide more wheel articulation, but you get a heavier payload with the leaf springs which makes it more desirable for overlanding. Really depends on the application and duration of your trip.
This one video destroys 99% of all the other youtube "overlander influencers" content.
Thanks for the positive feedback Brett.

Indeed, he has a way with words. It can get costly, but Paul tries to suit packages to fit people's budget.
Excellent interview - Paul Marsh is an unassuming fount of knowledge!
Thanks Michael.
Always good to listen to Paul. A very knowledgeable guy.
Wealth of knowledge.

Great advice as always by Paul

Thanks for watching, must be some epic trails in Cambodia through the jungle...?
@@Africasideways Very much! No shortage of dirt and jungle here. Let me know if you ever want to see for yourself.
@@EthanCrowley Interesting, thanks Ethan.
7:51 We like stick shifts just fine. My dealership only had an automatic to sell me.
That's like saying you like long walks in rain but live in the desert :).

@@daveybernard1056 Nice tracks around Utah mountains, some great 4 cylinder offerings.

@@daveybernard1056 very groovy part of the world, did not know they made 4cy pickups in the States.
Nice video, keep them coming ✌
Thank you, looks like you've been busy on the trails :).
@@Africasideways A little 😎
@@OverlandTrax the dude will abide
Great discussion, Cheers

Thanks for watching Billy. Yes, Paul is a great storyteller.
One of the best thumps up
Yeah Paul is a stud
And always will
Seriously your a walking knowledge base! Great video 👍
He is indeed.
love me some land cruiser
Yeah, the 80 series is 4x4 royalty.
Love paul's 80. I'd love to know if he has the 1hdt in it or the 1hdft engine?
Reckon he's running the 1hdt, got it in the uk.
Wow I didn't even know they still made a 76-79 series with a 1hz , in Australia they're all 4.5l v8 desiels
They've been putting the 4.5 litre in the 79 series double cab for a couple of years in SA. The single cab is still the old 4.2 diesel, one of the finest engines ever produced.

i love your work excellent
Thanks Zim.
I didn't even know he had a channel, till now.
Thanks for watching, he's just a guest. He's on various people's channels.

@@Africasideways Thanks very big.
💕👍🏻

What No FJ Cruiser? 🙀
Too small for legit overlanding.
Did Paul marsh have any channel ?
Not sure, but plenty of other videos on youtube with Paul in them.
What about a Defender? ;p
Paul does a couple here and there.
how can I contact paul for a expedition vehicle
Hi, here you go: paul@paulmarsh4x4.com
thank you
Only a pleasure.
Guys, I will never inderstand why an Interview has to be taken in a noisy environment like that.
Not ideal, but a busy workshop goes that way.
