Dankie Chris, ek het ‘n Fortuner so dit was altyd vir my lekker om te sien waarheen jy kon gaan. Lekker idees gekry met al die modifikasies. Sien uit na jou volgende series!
Been to so many of these places. Now I am 74 and I can’t do it on my own anymore. Over the last few years I have made conversions that can make my Cruiser 70series, a 2 seater, 3 seater or 4 seater. Every mod you vacant think of except a snorkel. Who might appreciate her?
All the best Chris with the next chapter, will miss the fortuner; but i sense u keeping the next rig a Toyota, looking forward to the build. All the best
Hi Christoph - great vid and great build. Ive just bought a 2012 Fortuner myself (Aus). Absolutely loving everything about it and have kicked off my upgrade/build journey to make it a tourer. One thing im in desperate need of is upgrading the low beams to something brighter. The HIDs just don’t seem to throw light far forward enough. Have you upgraded HID bulbs? Alternatively, do you know whether they can be converted to LED? Thanks mate!!
Hi thanks for the informative video... I'd like to ask if you could add a parts list... I've recently bought my first car it's the same model fortuner and I'd like to build it for a similar if not same purpose... I've had it for 6 months and ive already put on 60000km+ plus on it... I live on a farm I do alot of camping and yeah... also I can't really afford much so I'd like to do something as inexpensive as possible but reliable... I dont mind saving for 2 or 3 months to finance each necessary part or modification... I really enjoyed the video it has inspired me... I love your rigs functionality in the sense that every modification has a purpose it's not just for show
Good day thanks for your insigtfull content. Q - I am in the market for a 4x4 vehicle and is not sure what to buy, why are you looking at other vehicles and not another fortuner? Kind regards and good luck in your search for a new touring set up.
Thanks! Our needs are very specific, we are going to be on the road full time soon so we need an inside living space to get out of the elements when needed. I don’t want to tow something either so that means a camper or something like a Troopy. I also need something that can handle the harsh road conditions we frequently face a little better. Your needs might be completely different and thus your choice of vehicle would be as well.
Toyota’s hold their value relatively well compared to other vehicles but you always lose money, a vehicle is not an investment from a monetary point of view, it is however our home as well so I’ll always make sure it’s reliable and comfortable.
Hallo Chris, sal jy weer n Iron Man suspensie op n volgende voertuig laat installeer of sal jy n ander fabrikaat oorweeg? Was jy tevrede met die IM? Wimpie Groblersdal
Hi Wimpie, al my 4x4’s het sovêr net Ironman 4x4 suspensie gehad. Ek sal baie moeilik iets anders opsit. Het al voertuie met ander suspensie gery en ek dink Ironman is vir my die beste waarde vir geld.
My condolences. If a Toyota is your house you are in an exceptionally poor state. I, too had a 4x4 Toyota for over a decade. To cut a long story short. The wisest thing I did was to sell it. The stupidest thing I did was buying it new from a Toyota main dealer. Never did I have a vehicle with so many problems that cost so much to maintain. Mind you I have owned twelve vehicles over a period of thirty years form various makes (European and Japanese). No other vehicle came close to being so poor and unreliable as the Toyota unless you consider a vehicle that broke down three days after collected (new) from the dealership and kept braking down hundred and sixty-five times the first year.

I have a 2006 model from New...I will NEVER replace it. We're in a forever relationship !!

Dankie Shaun!

Sample and functional. Thanks for sharing Chris
First time to your channel. I appreciate the review and excellent filming. New subscriber
Welcome, thanks for watching and subscribing!
I’ve always loved your simple but incredibly effective set up. Can’t way to see what you’ve got cooking.
Going BIG I see Chris. Enjoyed all the journeys u did with the Fortuner, she was a loyal friend. Looking forward to the next 1 💪
Fortuner is one of the most reliable and budget friendly 4x4 Suv right❤
Christoff you have seriously looked after your Toyota Fortuner, the interior still looks immaculate :)
Thanks
Thanks Anton, much appreciated!
Looking forward to seeing your new rig 👌
I have always liked your build cant wait to see your new one
Thank you!

We have come so used to the Tuna, we never thought we would part ways with it. Can't wait for the new build...
Likewise, but like I said, our needs are changing and as much as I'd like to keep it it just doesn't fit the bill anymore
All the best Chris with the next chapter, will miss the fortuner; but i sense u keeping the next rig a Toyota, looking forward to the build. All the best
Wow! Really looking forward to what’s next!! 🙌🏼👊🏼👏🏼😃
Coming soon!
Looking forward to view the next rig......
Happy Holidays 🥂🤙
Phenomenal vehicle, not much to say but it will always get out and go!!!
can't wait
Awesome rig! Can't wait to see the new build!
Sorry to see your car go. It would be great if you could partner with someone here in the states to sell your get out go merchandise here locally
Great music track at the end
I watched the new video of your new (better) vehicle, but i like this fortuner too.
It’s not necessarily better, just better suited for our current needs. This Fortuner is also a great car 👍
@@GetOutGO yes, you're right, planning to get the Fotuner for my future trip.
Those d4d fortuners are excellent.
Ek kan nie wag om te sien wat jy in 2024 vir ons gaan bring nie. Ek geniet jou videos (en natuurlik OE s'n ook). En geniet jou nuwe wiele.
Dankie Pieter!

Have a look at Lightforce’s LED upgrade kits. I have them in my Land Cruiser now as well and they’re great!
Keen to so what you will be getting!

You can have a look here getoutgo.co.za/gear/
Your Fortuner is a awesome rig. Curious what's coming next.
Coming soon! 🙂
If this is the Cruiser that Rudu showed me then this is a serious upgrade.
I’ll be reviewing quite a few campers / trailers (that Cruiser will be in the next episode)
79 Cruiser V8, Yes babe 😂👌🏻💪🏻
Damn I miss my Fortuner. Got stolen two weeks before my planned Namib trip.
Sorry to hear that 😢
Thanks for being so informative, Chris. Just a q. Did the spare wheel carrier on the rear bumper rattle?
Nope, I can highly recommend the Gobi-X rear bumper and carriers.
Good day thanks for your insigtfull content.

Hello...wats the right tyre size ....after Ironman lift. ...on the R17 ...stock alloys
It's still on stock alloys, 265/65R17's. You can go to 265/70R17's with a 2" lift as well.
Bud did you get your moneys worth considering the extras etc?

Please tell me you getting an INEOS Grenadier you be the first in the world doing proper trips with it.
I really like the Grenadier, I don't however like the R1,5m price tag (for the base model)
What with lions, elephants and other wild animals if you are sleeping in the rooftop tent. It is just a little layer of fabric. Best Regards, David
Hi David, well even worse if you're in a ground tent then 😉 As long as you don't keep any food / toiletries / garbage in your tent you should be okay
Cruiser 76 would be nice except for the thirsty motor. Not much price difference to a new Fortuner 4x4 either
70 series is definitely an option (V8)
How many Km's on this old Beast?
202,000 km
Yoh! A bit more grey in the beard there young man 🙂
UA-cam is making me old! 😂
oh wao cruiser
Nice one 💯🇿🇦🇿🇦
I'm a bit late,is it sold Chris😢
Yup, it found a great new home and I have a new vehicle as well. Coming soon…

Sorry to hear, I've had no major hassles
Don’t buy a ford🤭
Don't have to worry about that one...
