  • In a step-by-step process I take a 5-door station-wagon SUV (Toyota Land Cruiser VDJ76) and turn it into a overland touring vehicle/truck. And while I do so share the principles I use. This is part-1.

      I recommend buying a Jeep Rubicon if you want to get into, they're beasts off road

    • @thewrongopinion7811

      Same! I own a 4x4 but haven’t off-roaded or overlanded it. Yet.

      Matt Gyver please don’t tell people to buy jeeps while going off road. Unreliable piece of work it is

    @globalmobile017 5 років тому +252

    This easily could’ve been 15 to 20 separate videos... good job on cutting out the fat and getting directly to the meat...👍 Can’t wait for part 2.

    • @freedomrider266
      @freedomrider266 4 роки тому +1

      I agree with your point, but for some purposes, the "fat" is quite necessary. Not in this case, but now you made me want a ribeye, with fat!!

  • @peterwebb7775
    @peterwebb7775 5 років тому +5

    Just terrific. Not everybody is knowledgeable about things like this so this video is just the job. The advice given here is balanced, not condescending and comes from a genuine first hand experience. Top marks mate.

  • @DiHandley
    @DiHandley 4 роки тому +1

    As much as this pains me to admit, for a South African you are light years ahead of anyone in Australia in terms of your off road common sense and your 4WD technical knowledge and it’s application. Your logic is indisputable. Simply amazing! 😲

  • @derrickmartin9717
    @derrickmartin9717 5 років тому +2

    Thank you so much for this video, Andrew. Though many of your followers are experienced off-roades and overlanders, having this type of video gives one a philosophy as they go about making their first purchases right up to the big ticket items for their rig.

  • @Chemtech2010
    @Chemtech2010 5 років тому

    The method I'm using is just take the vechicle out a lot and see where the limits lie and adjust accordingly. That way you prevent buying unnecessary "upgrades". I mainly use my vehicle on weekends for off roading with planned tours once in a while so I have the luxury to do that. Ofcourse when outfitting for a big trip sometimes you need to do it in one go so good tips for that kind of stuff. Tires and a good air pump are THE best upgrades when starting out by the way. Seen guys with ARB bumpers and expensive lighting getting stuck because they use road tires in the mud :D
