    STOP IMMEDIATELY FOR YOUR OWN SAKE!!
    You absolutely, without delay need to fit 35s, a 4"lift, barwork front to back & over the windows if you can, 6 more spotties high up on the front to shine through your bonnet & engine, 8 work lamps per side & underneath & tow 2 trailers like a road train before even attempting a gravel road!!!
    Seriously, good on you guys, you've done it exactly how it should be done by everyone else, using what you've got & what is suitable for you, not whatever you're told by "experts" that you absolutely need. Top of the pops guys 👊

      GAJ haha thanks mate! You’re right though I do need two trailers 🤔
      I always think if they could do it in 40 series and old land rovers..... or before that a camel.... then a relatively new ute should do the trick.

      I wish in America we could have flat beds with those utility boxes on top. No one here makes it. I really want a set up like the one in this video! Seen Patriot campers starting to bring some for certain youtubers, but they’re not commercially available. Sucks

    Great to see someone reviewing and using a set up for regular aussies. Seems that most at camp spots these days are zillionaires. This is going to be inspirational to heaps wanting to do it, but don't think they can. These kind of set up's are comfortable and you can make it all work great for you. Well done Overland Travellers.

    Spend the money on getting away and experiences, rather than objects. Camping has gone crazy these days. I'll be doing my lap next year with a budget build that I know will get me to all the places I want to get to that will be reasonably remote, and have the money to be away 1+ year. As opposed to glorifying little weekend away trips people do with their norweld builds. Don't get me wrong it's worth spending the money on quality gear you can guy rely on, but when you're spending tens of thousands of dollars to just leave city now and then, well I think you have a couple of questions to ask yourself. Good video guys, love it.

    As some one who has camped heaps, and now bought a new Hiliux which is more than capable of doing most 4wheeling as a stock vehicle, all the videos i have watched with full on road touring setups worth thousands of dollars on youtube, the big brand stores telling me i need the latest and greatest kit installed on my ute, watching your video this afternoon has been the best thing i could have done, you just saved me thousands of dollars from buying stuff that i actually wont ever really need, ill be able to keep all that extra money and have more money to travel away for longer like you guys, thats what its all about. Toyota's are the best and i cant wait to take my family around Australia without all the fancy bling added on.

    Love a well thought out budget rig. Absolutely fed up with the flashy show rigs. Went to the 4x4 show last year and all I saw was 150-200k chopped 200s and 79s. I bourbon my factory turbo 80 for 20k. Came with a superior 4 inch superflex left with remote res shocks, part time 4x4 kit barwork all round dual batteries with a basic Redarc isolator and a good tickle up in the engine pushing about 200hp with 480000km. Since have put in some E lockers and 35s to bring the revs down on the highway. All up owes me 25k and it runs rings around 100k+ rigs both on the black top and absolutely eats them in all sorts of lowrange. Prior to the 80 I had a 2012 79 single cab cruiser with a mint touring set up chipped on 35s. Sold it inside of a year to buy the 80. Talk about an upgrade

    Nice rig mate. I actually have a 2001 Hilux 3LD non turbo. And I love it to bit. (Dam slow as well). I was thinking about changing the gear ratios for fifth gear so it can actually sit at 100. It's cheaper than changing the diff ratios and then you won't lose your low 4 wheel drive. If you guys are ever in Queensland give me a bell and I'll make you a cuppa 👍👌😄

    I have a new Landcruiser Sahara with 30k of extras. I also own a 2003 kzn165r Hilux SR5 4wd. I can tell everyone yes the Cruiser is comfy and fast and tows my 3.5 ton van perfectly. But here is the thing, that 140k 4WD and 100k van does not buy happyness or good times. We had less worry and less stress with the old Hilux, we never worried about the 3yo spilling a drink inside or some asswipe opening their car door into the side. And heaven forbid if you got a bit of water in your diesel, the cruiser would be a tow job and a 5k injector replacement. Enjoy your lives, chose the path of less stress and make great memories as we are not young forever.

    I've got the grand tourer mate and overall seems pretty good.. with that said I am on my second one under warranty after only having it for 3 weeks! If you can hold off getting one I would and hopefully they have ironed out some of the issues. Main one being the glue used on the roof insulation is no good and between not having enough and in my case the glue got hot and melted the foam insulation the lining will fall off. Structurally it looks ok but a 2 year warranty is awesome and was the deciding factor for me to buy it. They are a little bit flimsy and you wouldn't be able to mount it over a 2 pole system and not have the belly supported as the sub frame top and bottom is not strong enough. Love your videos guys, Enjoy your trip!

    I would recommend the turbo upgrade I have a LN106 with a 5L turbo and it's a great goer, your not making it race car but the turbo vs na is really noticeable
    Edit: Also with the inverters it doesn't matter if it's a 300w or 1500w the draw on the battery is dictated by the load and the inverters efficiency so if you use both to charge a laptop the battery draw will be the same if not slightly lower on the larger one because peak efficiency is normally between 20-40% of full load but really you are talking a tiny difference

      Yeah we had three cars but had no dramas at all! Head out to Cobourg Peninsula when you hit the NT. One of my favourite spots in Australia. I’ll keep an eye out for the episode!

    Really enjoy the video guys. If you had a few extra grand what would be the first thing's you'd upgrade? And also, what has been the most satisfying budget buys?
    Just starting to plan my own build for a years time and fighting the battle of complete cost blowouts, although sometimes quality is worth it.
