As for security. In the front cab area. Take the seat belts and wrap them around the door handles, then clip into seat belt clip as you would normaly. Then if the front doors are opened the seat belts will keep them from opening wide for someone to gain access
Enjoying the videos. Coming back to what you were saying about security, have you thought about fitting cameras so you can see what's going on outside, especially at night from the safety of the truck. Just a thought. Looking forward to more videos 👍
love following your travels, we have had a few narrow streets in our 7.5 motorhome (2.3m wide) thinking what the hell are we doing!! nothing compared to you lol
In the 90s I drove a truck all over Europe, it was a removals truck 11 metres long 4 metre height and believe me not all houses mean you can get a truck there, never commit yourself until you take a look first even if you have to walk far, I got stuck in the centre of La Linea once because I rushed it, never again did I make the same mistake
the local farmers must cross that rail track day-in-day out, there probably was a field crossing somewhere ? More google map research? Enjoy the adventure.
I suspect that Garmin navigation would have avoided the low bridge problem - you input your length, height, width, and weight and supposedly it plots a route that avoids low bridges, weight limits etc.
Love the story - love the journey As a Brit now calling Australia home, feel free to reach out when you hit this island … I’m in South Australia, true Australia and a perfect play zone for the forby!
I literally watched some of this through my fingers. I was remembering getting my van directed by some French workers down an ever narrowing alley. Made it unscathed apart from the nervous wear and tear but I really felt your pain
Hi Bobby u should have dropped the tyre pressures and you would have squeezed under. That is if u had a inflator for the other side. Good luck on ya adventure you've got this 👌
Bob, that looked stressful! If you ever feel unsafe, unsure, stop turn around head back to Europe, no one will ever think less of you, maybe find an idyllic place to stay for a while, as long as your happy & safe, that's all I, and I am sure anyone wants! 😊🤗
White out and green flashes on camera looks like corruption on memory card. Possibly due to the card class not been high enough for the video quality selected.
Only a thought for next time & there will be a next time. I Assume you were just on the bridge limit so by deflating your tyres by say 50% you may have got under the bridge & then re-inflate them on the other side. Would have thought that would have given you an extra 15cm. When i used to drive trucks around Europe we had Air suspension so we could drop it down but i assume you do not have that option. Keep on enjoying yourself.
Interested in route updates - how will you get beyond Turkey?? Lots of us are waiting to see how you solve this question. Through Iran?? ....very, very risky and not recommendedby ANYBODY! Through Azerbaijan and into centeal Asia......borders still closed, I think and where to go after Central Asia???. Ferry from Greece to Israel, then into Saudi, but then where???? Safest option I can see would really be through Russia (btw don't be intimidated by Russia, very safe, very friendly, I know because i lived there for 11 years) to Vladivostock and then into China.....but documentation for driving in China is really horribly complex. What's your plan?? Would make an interesting video!

I think I need a beer now also! Impressive driving!

Well done lad, all part of the adventure that you will look back at one day and smile.
Great video. Such an an amazing adventure. Can't wait for the next instalment.
Cracking video mate, good to see you get out. Big truck little bridge ! 😂
I literally watched some of this through my fingers. I was remembering getting my van directed by some French workers down an ever narrowing alley. Made it unscathed apart from the nervous wear and tear but I really felt your pain
Mate. Proper loving the videos already!
You could have put those two roof-boxes in the middle of the rack instead of both sides. As the bridge was arched, you'd probably have got through.
If you were driving past me in my state (Connecticut) I would be 👁 you as well....in envy of your expedition Vehicle! Loving your channel!
I had a van hire business and it was called “ Go Truck Yourself” only rented my vans to the film and tv industry.
Some of them old houses probably were built a good long time ago when machinery was alot smaller! Doing a good job though 👍 keep it up!
Reminded Me of Driving in Ireland and the local who told Me that no matter where I wanted to go, I couldn’t get There from Here.

Harikaaaa ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great videos so far, good luck on your journey. How about the caption "For Truck Sake"
Professionell truck drivers us satnav for lorries . They have the ability to adjust routs in respect of the size and weight of the vehicle.
the real drama her is the booger stuck in your nose! :D
Have you tried Sygic navigation?. You can put your height and weight limits in. It’s designed for trucks.
An idea is just to let most of the air out your tyres as that would give u 4 or 5” m8
Name.. Truckin’ Strife! 😂
Aussie flag? Did I miss the episode were u explain it. Cheers
Did u calculate extra clearance if u let your tyres all the way down?

I would have deflated the tyres? Possibly?
Get yourself a Garmin Overlander or similar - you can input your vehicle dimensions.
Hi loving the stories and the adventures
What drone do you use? For filming
So you didn't have to go back up the mountain round all those hairpin bends again?
No fun that mate!

Mate if you ever get stuck under a bridge let your tires down
Call it Truck off tour
