This story is a preamble as I'm excited as you can imagine, as I wait to collect my 10th Landcruiser in South Africa.
When I'm excited about a new project, I tend to fixate on it, make stuff in preparation for it, and as usual, make a video. Here is what I did in the weeks prior to departure for South Africa.
By the time you get this, we'll be there. But you can track my progress live, using this link: www.4xoverland.com/andrew-live/

No 80 series?! You.might have been on your 5th LC at most if only you crossed paths with an 80.
I would love to see a series with a vehicle that doesn't have a ton of expensive parts "donated" by companies like Terrain Tamer. Just upgrades that the average person could afford?
I agree with dirtleg,the average man in the street or Bush don't get to buy all the fancy add ons,still good to watch but becomes a bit of an advertising series if you watch the lot this man has done,saying that good advice he does have about overland travelling, Aidan in Ireland
Nice to hear ASP say he wants to keep it simple...novel idea!
Hi Andrew my I'm from Kenya but I've been living in South Africa for 9 years now . currently in Bloemfontein Free State & when you are going to be around South Africa please make a MEET & GREET I want to see your work I'm so fascinated in it.I was in Lesotho yesterday I used the Ficksburg route & the place is a wonder
Don't mind the Land Cruisers, I love them as well, but another Troopy in a row is a bit too much.
... more over most people Overland build will be based on 90 or 120 Prado more available and affordable rigs.
My favorite videos from you are the ones where you are building out a vehicle. I'm just getting into overlanding and I love watching you kit these out! I love watching what your years and years of experience can do when you build out a vehicle! Can't wait for the next one!
Somehow the rolling blackouts don't seem quite as bad knowing you and Gwyn are here. Happy travels. Enjoy the lack of kangaroos...🤣
the 2009 105 Diesel is my favorite of all on the list....great series
I hope you both have an awesome trip, thanks for inspiring us all to get out and see this big round thing we live on 😁👍👍
I’ve done this route myself in a discovery and it was absolutely fantastic, enjoy the scenery cannot wait to see the content you show us all! Exciting stuff
Looks like an awesome trip.
Every body that follows you and watcher’s your videos including myself would love to have done and do what you’ve done so far and are doing. Well done and thank you for sharing 👍
Andrew, I just watched your video and looked at the map of your current location.. You are now in Capetown! This is really good! Greetings from West TX!
looking forward to seeing this trip.
Love the box of bits, everyone has one and at some point goes oh wait I have a thingy majig that will do that,
Lovely Vid hope you enjoy your trip, My dad had the first WW2 Jeep in our area just after the WW2, he bought his first new SWB LandRover around the 1950s then he had 9 more brand new ones up until 1978 Then he bought his first Tray back Land Cruiser in 1979, he then bought a new Land cruiser tray back every two years right up till they put coils in the front end, so 10 or 12 new ones over the years, Me Ive had 6 different 4wds
Hey Andrew, keen to see the new series. Do yourself a favor when driving near Cradock and pop in, or preferably stay over, at Mountain Zebra National Park (unless you have been there already). I think it's a great little park. Got interesting animals to see and less crowded than Addo. Addo is obviously great for the ellies though. Both are great, but MZNP is a little gem.
I left land cruisers once I realized that they became too expensive without proving their value for money. Some trucks are half their price and not half their value.....hence, I left my love for these cars years ago.....I owned six of them.
Out of curiosity, what country do you live in and what vehicle did you eventually switch to?
@@TurdBugler I still own a landcruiser 75 and have a mahindra pik up which has performed quite well without failures for over 4 years now. I use them for ranching in very harsh conditions in the Colombian mountains and both perform very good but the one showing it´s true value is the mahindra.
@@TurdBugler the thing is that the mahindra is less than half its price here and I rather have two mahindras and a motorcycle than one land cruiser. My tractor does whatever other tougher job that I might need to do inside the ranch..
@@ossa60 never heard of that vehicle. I’m gonna check it out. Thanks!
Toyota priced the LC 200 out of the U.S. market, they only sold the high end luxury model @$90k U.S. no one bought them as the Lexus LX570 was $2000 more ? in auz the base spec LX300 GX diesel is $99k auz $ about $67k U.S $ we pay that for broncos and wranglers, not sure of the LC 70 series wagon and troopy prices has the Toyota auz web does not show the total drive off, think they are sold out
Arranging for an intervention, for your addictions mate, don't worry we'll only chain you to an outback tree for a few weeks, and throw buckets of cold water on you hourly... O.o
Bon Voyage Andrew, & Gwyn -(The better half) ..
Your trip looks like it is going to be absolutely amazing journey, I can't wait for some snippets from SA.
All the very best to you both on your travels, Take care, stay safe.
You seem to be very happy to be heading back in SA lad. It’s nice to see 👍
Andrew, when you come through Addo I highly recommend doing the Bedrogfontein trail from the Darlington Dam in the North (you’ll be approaching from this side anyway) and ending in Kirkwood which is very close to the main gate. This section of the park (Kabouga) is much greener, much more mountainous and FAR less crowded. The rest of the park might end up being a little claustrophobic for your liking, although you will see more animals in the main camp.
I have a video on my channel detailing the Bedrogfontein route if you’re interested.
Spot on Matt, the Eastern Cape has so much to offer! I kinda held my breath, to hear if he was finally going to going to do the Baviaanskloof, which in my mind is an absolute must for someone like our host who has never been. Then connect up with friends and family at Knysna via the Prince Alfred Pass.
Completely understand. I own a Troopy and will never sell it for another offroader. The size and the looks alone make it unique. When I think of offroad vehicles I think of the 78 Land Cruiser. Iconic! Archetype! Hope you are having a great experience in South Africa.
We know you’re addicted hence you not building anything else. Have you considered the reason that 105 was your most watched series is because it wasn’t yet another 70 series?
It's always epic to see big youtubers heading to our little slice of heaven. If you are heading through Ladybrand/Aliwal North then you have to make a stop at the Greens Farm. It's called Pitlochrie Cottage! A 10/10
Off the beaten track is awesome in South Africa, just be cautious of road deterioration. The people are the best!
I live about 15min drive from Addo elephant park. We have had alot of rain recently so the park will be beautifully green
Hah awesome. I've had 3 LC's so far, hope to get to 10
There's some nice sailing vessels being produced out of Knysna as well.
If you haven’t been to Mountain Zebra National Park, it’s a definitely worth a visit. Just outside Cradock.
Hi Andrew, Travel safe if you are here in South Africa. Wish I could meet you in person. You are a legend!
It’s an addiction I share as well
However I have a few that I hung onto till very high kilometres…
All great vehicles, never had a problem with any
Take it easy on those Free State roads................ there are more potholes than roads, especially if you are going past Reitz!
Addiction No Obsession Yes.
nice content,you should come to kenya in july go to mara and see the seventh wonder of the world,great wilderbeast migration then visit amboseli ,the home of elephants,then cross to tanzanian to the great serengeti,africa is beautiful
Andrew be prepared for horrific potholes. I used to live in Clarens and visited last year. The state of the road between Ficksburg and Fouriesburg in particular was heartbreaking and very sad.
Potholes shouldn't be a problem, he's driving a Landcruiser after all! They're built for that ☺👍
@@labourlawact7826 Agreed. Just slow going and uncomfortable, a lot worse than most dirt roads. 😱
@@larryingle9966 That's true. I blame anc corruption for that. He'll be relieved once he reaches "civilisation" (the Western Cape). We don't have potholes here☺
Hi Andrew, it was great meeting you in Clarens, thanks for taking the time to have a chat with me and my family, it was one of the highlights of our trip. You've been a great inspiration and mentor to the overland community. Safe travels
Haha, here is the list of Vehicles I have owned, and its Disturbing...
Maybe a solar blanket as well to go with that anderson plug andrew?
I think you missed out one VDJ 79... The one before you toyed with before the 1st VDJ78...😇
If you are doing Eastern Free State, mayI recommend Zastron and the R393 over Lundins Nek ending up in Barkley East. Remote and magnificent mountain scenery - not something that WA has an abundance of.
Hi Andrew. Unfortunately I don't have Instagram. We share many of the same interests. I am a mechanical engineer. Like you, I love nature and flying. Did my PPL at Stellenbosch Flying club. I watched your live tracker and saw you are in Cape Town at the moment. It would be an honour for me to take you and Gwynn out on my yacht, based at Royal Cape Yacht Club. We are planning a to go sailing/motoring on Thursday (2nd) for a sunset cruise or Sunday (5th) for a sail to Clifton. I never heard you mention sailing before and I would LOVE to introduce you to it! I think you and Gwynn will enjoy seeing Table mountain from the sea. Please reply on this message if you are interested. 👍🏼
Hey Andrew! Do you think you'll ever do a review on the New fortuner or the 2012-2013 models, Im curious to see what it's capable of!
I think Toyota really got it right with the 105. I know quite a few people who own them and never want to sell them.
Andrew, your love for all Landcruisers is there for all to see, so here's a question, if 'All' Landcruisers were out of the question, what would you pick?
My question too.
My guess is a DMAX or Hilux
@@Malc664Mux?
You forgot one more Land Cruiser, the 79 series pickup you bought when you moved to Australia. Sure, you gave up on it almost immediately, but it was yours for a while.
wish we could get the new LC300 in the U.S. we do get the lexus LC600 v6 gas and LCprado sold as the Lexus GX460 v8 gas hog,if we could get a troopy to build a car camper overlander as all our wagons /S.U.V. are luxury cars 3 rows of leather, 2nd row ent screens ,2 sunroofs and of course they all have to have "indpendent rear axle for a smooth ride and leg room for the 3rd row " and our utes are to big
70 series landcruiser is a fun build, but it's accessible in only a few countries. 105 on the other hand is available almost everywhere and I loved that built because it was relatable and more closer to reality for me. A 70 series is a unicorn for me and I'm not interested in fantasy builds.
will you ever try an 80 series!?!?!
Thoughts in 12HT auto engine swap for a troopy?
I still think … you should be getting a cybertruck.
Sorry about the stage 6 load shedding.... not fun while you're here in SA.
After hearing about all the vehicles you got me curious what the longest continuous/non stop trip you've done to date?
65 days. vimeo.com/ondemand/okavangoriver
Andrew, the roads in the Eastern Free State are horrific and potholed beyond measure. SADC legislation now appears to allow for vehicles registered in other SADC regions to be used without importation.
I know. Ive just driven them. Was shocked as to how bad they are.
Mmmnnn🤔 G60 nissan patrol, landrover series 3 lwb, toyota FJ45, Nissan GQ, toyota 60 series, 80 series, 100 series, troopie trakka camper, fj cruiser (only toyota ive ever hated), 75 series ute, 79 single cabs x3, 200 series, dual cab 79.. still have a fj45, oh! 1985 4 door range rover, ww2 jeep. A host of 4x4 company cars (i get a new one every 10,000km including prado/300/ranger/isuzu/nissan/hilux/blah blah blah…. My favorites? 40 series cruisers, 80 series and 70s.
Looks like an awesome road trip! How safe is South Africa for self-driving holidays for someone who's not been there?
Apply common sense and you'll be fine - like any other country in the world.
@@willactually7509 I think there's more to it than that. Street smart in one country does not equal street smart in any other.
Well…
The sad story is that here in Germany Toyota does not sell these type of Land Cruisers …
So the once you could get are priced ridiculously high … 😢
It's too bad that most of these are hard to find in the States.
What 4x4 did you have while working on your PELICAN project?
It was my first G-Wagen. (290GD)
👍👍🙏🙏❤️❤️🇸🇦🇸🇦
If you’re staying in BNB’s, can’t you just charge your gear up over night instead?
Most of the night there's no power. It's called "let them eat a bit " (or loadshedding)
And u still havnt a landcuiser toy car on ya shelf 🤣
But why you just don't want to look good with Jeep Wrangler Unlimited? Better looking better off road.
i thought you do like Ranger Rovers?
I do. I also like Land Cruisers.
And Mercedes G 461.
It's no so much an addiction as a business model and lack of choice .
Every single time you say "I'm going to drive from Victoria to Cape Town" I immediately say bullshit. Within 2 seconds I realise that you are not taking about Australia.
Yeah, I laugh at my stupidity more than anyone.
South Africa has become too dangerous to just camp anywhere.
I guess this explains, why you seem to be so biased... dont get me wrong, dont think you are... but you seem to be... when someone, who doesnt watch most of your Videos, watches just some of them... they'll get the impression, that you are not very open to anything other than your 2 favorite brands.
the same truck and the same outfit...always the same...why????
@@labourlawact7826 why not a camper truck? you can use Toyota trucks or others, something diferent is perhaps better, a refresh in the channel, we need to evolve and try others things in our life, always the same is boring and dont make other views
Best regards
