- It’s hard to distinguish between genuine products and marketing hype these days. With outrageous claims, over the top advertising or social media flooding, it can be confusing and hard to decide where to spend your hard earned money.
In this episode I go over 5 touring type accessories that not only add ease and accessibility to your setup, but are genuine products that have lasted the test of time on my setup over the years.
These products are items that I genuinely use all the time, with or without my Lifestyle Reconn camper in tow.
I hope that these products and ideas can help you out and maybe they are something that you are looking to implement in your build.

One of the best most transparent youtubers getting around (in the 4wd and camping space). Your channel, wild touring, and WACA run rings around all the other flog channels with "greater audiences". Keep Staying Genuine mate, its ur greatest asset i believe.
Thanks mate, I appreciate that. Just out here doing what I love and trying to help other along the way 👍
This channel has the best group of subscribers I’ve seen on any YT channel. There’s virtually never a verbal dust up in here (cough cough, ignoring just one dust up I think I started) 😂😳
But the people here are all interested in what the channel is doing and have similar interests, without the toxicity. Nathan’s productions just keep getting better imo.
This is not an easy gig, constantly trying to come up with new ideas, the expense and time commitment & the reward is not that high if your not chasing the sponsor credits.
I think Nathan does well because he’s not constantly trying to hang tickets on himself like the ppl at the other channels seem to like to do. Also the way he throws factual information into his reviews verses the opinionated waffle you can find elsewhere.
The only thing I’d like to see is a few more itechworld episodes 😂😏
Thanks, you've helped me save myself from bad choices and have only value-added with things I want to do, so I feel you deserve some kick-back. Much appreciation for quick replies too 😊😁
Thanks mate, I really appreciate that 🙏 I'm so glad that I'm able to help out, apart from this being a hobby for me, it's awesome that so many people can get good value from it 👍
I think you can throw in your own designed water pump, Nathan. To us, it was a definite game changer. Great video so thanks again
Ahh yes, that was a popular build that one. Still carry that in the rear of the LC to this date and has been used a few times on our travels 👍
Glad it was helpful to so many
Great video as usual I love our 270 awning use it all the time!
Thanks Nate! For sure, one of the best touring inventions 👍
Great clip mate. My 30second awning is 5 years old and going strong. Cheers Steve
Thanks mate, that's awesome to hear. Hopefully my one will last the test of time too 🤞
Yep another great video. Keep up the good work.
Thanks mate, much appreciated 🙏
Well thought out rig, takes the hard work out of touring / living boon the road 👍🏻
Cheers man 🤙 Love this setup!
Nathan, I love your videos, absolutely awesome. Thank you again for your content. Love that tee shirt! Gen 2 on its way for you!
Thanks mate, appreciate that 👍 Look forward to it
very well done as per usual
Awesome, thank you 🙏
Excellent video very helpful
Thanks mate, appreciate it 👍
Great video very well done Thanks
Thanks mate, appreciate it 👍
Another top quality informative video. Thanks Nathan. PS… that cars a weapon 😂
Thanks Greg! Appreciate it! Love this vehicle and the way it's setup now, makes life on the road very easy!
They are all on the "want it" list but hard to find a cruiser with a similar setup for a decent price. Good video again mate! Safe travels 🤙🏼
For sure, they are seriously expensive, particularly from private owners who want to recoup their costs on sale.
Here's hoping you're able to find the right one soon 🤞
Hey, mate ,love your stuff.
Can you pleeeeease do a review on solar blankets, they're just as confusing as 200 series upgrades.
Cheers
I'm looking into all awnings again. Cheers for reminder 👍
Awesome, well this should certainly be a consideration. There are many good ones on the market, with slightly different features, but this has worked well for us so far 👍
@@XploringOz(third time trying to post. Can links be posted here?)
'30 Second Awning' have released Storm Chaser 270° Awning that has 2 flaps near the apex bar (Leaving link out) for an extra 200 buckeroos, to reduce the upward pressure of higher winds. With your time so far do you see a need for these flaps? Would you pay the extra given your time again?
Cheers for your research and answer, if you have the time, Nathan. 👍
@@VenidiciRobidici Hey mate, sorry about the blocks. I have it set for high scrutiny on links due to spam comments. I'm sure they will come through to my review box soon, but YT is often delayed.
In relation to the Stormchaser, look I haven't needed it yet, however I probably would go for it it I was purchasing again as I can only see benefits with it. This being said, given how well my current one is working, I wouldn't swap it over 👍
@@XploringOz Thanks buddy! Choose whatever reply you think fits best, no probs, and thanks for letting me know about the scrutiny 👍
I'm sold! Storm Chaser 270° it will be for me then.
Thanks again 👌
I think u forgot your best mod. Torque converter lock up kit. I use a different brand but fuel consumption on a trip is around 11 - 11.7! Best thing I've done.
Sure is another great mod, but I've actually reduced my lock up usage with my trans tune and trans cooler additions. I still use it, but not as much as I used too 👍
Awesome video, what rear swing arm did you get for your spare tyre please? Kaymar told me I also need to fit the rear bar for models MY16 - MY21 but I don’t have the weight available
Thanks mate, this is a Kaymar tyre carrier as well. This being said, I'm not sure if they are still available these days? 🤷♂️
Hey Nathan. I purchased an UltraGauge based on your review of the product a while ago now and I agree that it’s an awesome bit of kit. The many and varied pieces of info you can program the different screen pages to is absolutely amazing.
I would also recommend some of the Kaon gear (e.g. UHF rear door bracket mount, reverse camera mount, rear door fold down table (for a Prado) etc.) which aren’t overly expensive but very practical, top quality and super handy.
One other accessory item which I’d highly recommend is the front and rear 4K BlackVue Dashcam. Apart from the safety/security/insurance perspective, it also allows you to progressively download and edit footage of your travel/4 wheeling adventures particularly given the 4K video resolution.
Awesome, yes the Ultraguage is a great piece of equipment!
Kaon is great and my father-in-law who now owns our old Prado 150 has much of their gear in his setup.
I do too also use a BlackVue camera for safety and entertainment too 👍
@@XploringOz The only downside with the UltraGuage that I've encountered thus far is the fact that I am unable to obtain my EGR temp (only just found out yesterday) unlike that for LC200's owners. Apparently, there isn't much demand for the EGR temp by Prado owners and so, the program codes weren't derived which sounds a bit backward to me but anyhoo ...
@@rich9903 For sure, however I will note that I'm not sure its a downfall of the Ultragauge itself, however the vehicle may not have EGT sensors to read from from factory.
For example, my pre-facellifted 200 series doesn't have these sensors and therefore I can't access them either, however the newer model do. I think the Prado is in the same boat.
I would definitely recommend EGT gauges though, I've just ended up adding my own seperate units 👍
Hmm … I just learned something new. I might need to look at getting a separate EGR gauge noting that my transmission case temp got a bit high when I was towing my caravan through the slightly hilly outskirts of BrisVegas once.
I do have an aftermarket transmission cooler fitted but as we all know, you need reasonable airflow for them to work effectively. Any recommendations on a particular brand or type?
@@rich9903 Hey mate, sorry for the late reply this one slipped through the cracks. I haven't personally had much experience with many on the market, but I'm using these little digital unit and they are still working well a couple of years on 👍 ebay.us/zIbL2E
Great info mate 👍🏻,any reason you removed the Donaldson filter on the snorkel head?
Thanks mate, yes spoke about this in this video here - ua-cam.com/video/LogkJxxXvSc/v-deo.html
👍
I got the pins setup for the Max trax but after a few trips and plenty of mud I found it annoying trying to get them back on because the mud between the trax makes it difficult.
Gone back to just strapping strapping them on the roof.
While the pins are a good idea i agree if using trax in muddy conditions the pins are a pain, definitley think they are designed for the influencer mall crawler crowd.
Yeah, this can cause an issue. If this happen, I too resort to straps, but often clean them when I can and back to using the pins. I just like the ability to easily and neatly lock them down between use 👍
Great setup, well thought out and presented
My list is similar, still trying to find an elegant water storage solution
Thanks mate, I'm happy with how it's all turned out.
Water is hard, especially on wagons, but I'm happy with my setup now 👍
Hey Nathan, those gas struts on the lower tailgate... is that standard for the Sahara or is that another mod? I have a 2019VX and interested in doing that
Hey mate, yes they must be standard as I haven't done anything to the tailgate in that fashion 👍
what brackets did you use to mount the shovel holders onto?
Hey mate, I just re-purposed some Kaon brackets I had lying around. Had to trim out a little of the holes to fit ht bracket, but otherwise they are holding up well 👍
Hey bud, what brand is the spare wheel carrier?
Hey mate, this is a Kaymar rear bar, more detail in the linked video 👍
Hi mate, what is the brand of egt gauge?
I got mine from a company called OzTherm 👍
