Ich komme aus Deutschland und lebe auch dort - und ich würde für mich behaupten, man erkennt einen waschechten Australier daran, wie selbstverständlich er mit der apokalyptischen Fliegenplage umgeht, ich würde wahnsinnig werden. Best Regards from Germany - I love your Videos
G'day. I've watched numerous vids on just about every truck & American ute build. This walk around is by far the most informative of any vid I've watched. No point in me going into detail about what I liked, found interesting... you covered just about everything. Well done & thanks.
Hey mate. By far the best rig run down I’ve watched. Hope to catch up with you guys on the road sometime. Probably the the only legit family to watch out of the hundreds of you tubers at the moment.
Awesome well thought out setup, you only get one turn at life and the memories you creating with your kids is more than dollar value of the truck, who cares about the little details in the long run, and there’s nothing wrong a great looking truck either
Simplicity, looks and right tool for the job 👀🚛👍 The array of 240v appliances is not for me but I appreciate this is a house on wheels supporting a big family full time.
Mate great rundown I like your no bullshit attitude and who gives a flick on what your opinion or how you go about things I’m the same. We’ve been traveling for five years and it’s been great all adventures we’ve had getting to where we are going, in Perth working for a bit it would be nice to run into when your over here. Always great videos. Cheers
There are serious big bad flying bugs at night not common known , called them vampire beetles Bull dust Roper river sides Wild cat oil field drilling Rockdril NT. . there are some serious remote spots Oz . . still to be explored . . trust me
Awesome run-down, thanks for this. With the compressors I had the same issue with mine and it ended up being the small fan inside where the wires were not crimped properly. The compressors are made by HO aircompressors in China for half the price through ali.... the kitchen hight is a big winner over the US trucks. There is no perfect rig but this comes close. Glad to hear about the ride quality. Have fun
Thanks for watching. Yeah I’m unsure of the problem I’m having. But I definitely don’t want to be giving people wrong information on products. So I’m just careful what I recommend Tray height on these is amazing.
Love the Rig!! I would have a little different setup. But! as you have said perfectly and hit the nail on the head! Is set up for you and your family needs. Great job and thanks for the rundown ❤
I’ve always loved the Isuzu’s. One of my dreams is to travel Australia in a prime mover. If that is not achievable then an Isuzu is. Bloody beauty of a truck mate.
Nice truck (so many toys) and home!!!!! This video is for those days when you want to stay at home few beers & chips, better than Netflix :) Greetings from Coruña, Galicia, Spain!!!!!!!!!!! I will follow your adventures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for share!!!!!!!
great vid. I appreciate your honesty a lot. Not being branded is unique nowadays. As for the rig, awesome! Big family, big boy, big toys / tools. I only started following you recently, and I already want to catch up for a beer lol. I'm stuck in the city (construction sector also) and take the ute and a 19ft caravan out as much as we can, we are also off-grid capable with both ute and van. Yeeew
Brilliant video,the way you explained everything.The best rundown I have seen. Also that has to to be the best fit out I have watched.Can't the gearbox be driven as a manual, I find that helps a lot. Thanks again, safe travels, may catch up somewhere around this great country.
Thanks for the honesty on the winch. We were going down the sherpa road, and now that's a pause. We are only in build, so no panic for time. You're hard on gear and (me too) so love this no-fluff review.
Thanks for the tour, looks bloody nice. Since the "Big Oz Explorers" stopped doing there thing and went into Zone RV I reckon you and your family vid's are one of the best if not the best to view, so thanks for that cause I really like watching these type of video's, cheers and keep it up. 👍
Great review guys, we are hoping to get out there on the road in something similar within the next 12 months. Met with Stuart at ATW a few weeks ago to work out what we are going with on our setup, they do an awesome job. Love the GCI Traytec Canopy, first decent review I have seen on one of their canopies for the Isuzu. Enjoy your travels, I will keep watching :)
Wow talk about the Swiss army knife of off-roading 😱 You have everything that opens and shuts, and then some, yet nothing is cluttered. Looks neat clean and practical. 👍👍
Just found you guys about a month ago now, glad I did ,looks as though you guys have been doing this for a while, don't know how much video you have but I would love to see your previous adventures as well, how about you start a "From the Beginning Series" you can thank me for all the extra work later..............LOL Your Vids are so well edited and the music is great, you all seem so easy in front of the camera, it's a pleasure to watch and I look forward to every episode now.......well done again
Nice truck lovely set up you have spent some time setting it up for yourself and your family which works for you, some lovely equipment and great solutions to problems. But those flies I couldn’t cope with that many flies, crikey you batted a few away but you cope so well with the rest
Camper trailers provide a gateway to reconnect with nature. Wake up to the stunning landscapes of Australia in remote and picturesque locations. It's an opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural wonders of this beautiful land.
Very cool set up! I've been enjoying watching your videos from the US. We do overlanding a little different, but do a lot the same with the same goals.
I had the same experience with Sherpa 4x4. Winch motor failed on a near new winch, and there customer service was woeful. Would avoid 💯. Subscribed after hearing your honest review, great content 👍🏻
30,000lb Hydraulic Winch is what you want on the front of your rig. You will continue to rip through the smaller electric, regardless of brand. You need something that can pull that much with your rig. (Assuming you can find a suitable anchor) . Keep up the good work, you are living my dream.
@@thecartwrights you should also look into engine-driven & hydraulic winches, also capstan winches. Each have their pros & cons, you're the only one who knows how you use them so I wouldn't offer a preference but you should know what's available.
Very nice truck! I only hope the stray jack under the bench is mounted solid. You don''t want to have it flying through the cab when rolling the truck or in a accident. Stay safe and enjoy life
I have a new 45 155 npr manual, would not pull top gear, i had it dynotuned for about 2k, now it is the truck it should have been, drive top gear everywhere and 10 to 15% less diesel. it is a must do on the 5.2l as it is in its lowest state of tune in a 155 truck.
Love the videos guys. We looked really closely at the Isuzu trucks but went with a Silverado 2500 instead for our own reasons and don’t regret it one bit but to compare our needs and want to someone else’s is silly so I love your view on things.
Hiya mate, I'm a regular watcher, just tolet you know that currently there are no NPS Trucks available as Izusu ate up grading this model. Yes I am looking at getting a manual as you advised. Cant wait to see what they have next year in 2025!!
Awesome Fantastic say it how it is thanks for being so Honest. Stay safe Enjoy Life as it's so short. Great to see the Family together look forward to more adventures Cheers
Thanks 🙏 for the very detailed Video of your Rig. 👍 Very interesting that in Australia, you are going with your trailers off-roading. 😎 For us in Europe is that unthinkable.🙈 We have done a trip to Africa i hope more to follow. Can not think how we would have done this with a trailer. 🤔 Yes Australia is very different, you have a lot of space in your country. 👍👍 Have a good time and always safe trips with your family!
ex-military trailers have been available for decades but they're heavy & almost all are too small or too big to build a caravan on but now there's several makers catering to the _overland to Africa_ market.
Wow.... just wow! Have actually seen guys doing this for 6 years now, great tax deduction for guys in business. Solves so many problems.. No lift needed, No GVM issues. Endless storage .. But wow, talk about attention to detail Well Done.... fuel figures are actually pretty good for that combo
Hey just saw your bottle Jack under the back seat, couldn't see if it was secured to the floor, but if not I would certainly tie it down, you don't want it coming loose in a roll over. Just a thought. Love your vids.
Awesome rig, love everything about it. The memories you're creating with your family will last a lifetime. Safe travels mate. Btw those flies were bothering me just watching. Lol
Most interesting, But I am left to wonder why you don't carry/use a sand anchor, That, buried in front of your truck. on your video in the Simpson desert would have been so easy to get yourselves out, even digging a hole to set it, would be easier than the 'landscaping" you did. But the thing I am interested in, is you are only running a 2Kw inverter and 200 amp hour batteries in the truck, yet you have a microwave, that doesn't work that well, (think you said) an induction cooker. and you run air-con in the van, how long can you run that for? or do you have a generator as well. I just want to know because we are about to hit the road in NZ for our caravan retirement cruse. and basically I am trying to find if we are set up well enough, or what else we may need to change in our setup. Love your Videos, looking forward to the next one.
Just found and subscribed to your channel. I love you rig. I tow with an 2000 International 4700 mid duty flat bed. I put my Suzuki Grand Vitara on the flat bed and tow a 26 foot off road travel trailer ( yes I am in the US). I have two issues with my set up. 1, the truck is two wheel drive, 2 it is long. ( it takes 39 acres to turn it around). I am looking forward to your adventures.
Cartwrights, I am a fan of your setup. I like the four-door cab and low roof. Looks sweet. Is a hydrostatic-powered winch a viable option instead of electric? They are usually found on military vehicles. at time 34:20 the 'don't be dumb....' magnet is there and then it is removed at 34:27. I like it. Leave it there. There is no wasted space with a hooded engine in front of a cab. I like the cab over design. I am a fan of the US Army LMTV 1095 (3 axle) or the 1078 (2 axle) that some overlanders use.
Haha. Very keen eye!! The overlay was actually shot a couple of weeks AFTER we shot the main video. And the sticker was purchased within ghat time..so the sticker was visible in that footage and not visible in the footage where he is talking. You will be pleased to know, the sticker is still actually there 😆😎
Awesome effort guys. Would not have been a pleasant mission at all. Watched your vid and last 5mins saw you had a rear winch. Ive used a rear winch to move forward before. Stuck in a river bed in a unimog. Ran the cable under the diffs and worked a treat. Did this in NZDF year's ago training but seriously stuck. Nice job you two.
I would worry about the cable sawing through the axles or the cable getting cut on a sharp edge, cables cut through amazingly easily. Also, pulling from the wrong end is unstable, I once had to pull a trailer up a short gentle slope hitched on the wrong end & it took 6 heavy blokes to hold it straight despite pulling really gently. If you've got enough fairleads to guide the cable through that's fair enough but without? I wouldn't want to trust my life to it.
I wouldn't trust a Ram in this country - Elnick Adventures recovered one with their Isuzu NPS in a recent video of theirs, that had broken down on the Googs Track. Most other 4WD wouldn't be able to do that.
great build.. yeah i understand you with the amt. for terrain you would like a manual where you can control the revs with precision to get unstuck or not get stuck. same problem automatics got when driving in snow or on ice is its hard to control the power you put down to the wheels. question.. how much got destroyed when it got stuck in that mud. only axles or did it bring some nasty expensive surprise like transfer case or something ??
Love the truck...seriously love the kitchen set up. I like the garage area....Hmmm, I wonder if a full size trail bike could fit...needs a higher ceiling. I would go for the truck as opposed to a RAM or other vehicle, due to its durability, and GVM.
Yeah mate. Pretty much the reasons I picked the truck. If you took the back canopy off and just had one canopy, you could put the bike in the tray section ✌️
New subscriber from UK... spent ten years in QLD... Love this video... Loved it all... HOWEVER... can i ask about your first aid kit, it seemed to me that your first aid is just thrown in, in a box with little thought... Truly love everything your doing but please, with all them children raise the level of priority of the first aid gear and access, time is critical, not just for the kids but for you as without you, the children will be at risk... Like I say love it keep on going. Per Ardua.
A most excellent set up. The point is it works for you. But its just a tool. The way your family live your life is the best thing. Those kids will have a special childhood and it will shape them fir life. Drive safe, happy travels 👍
Hello from Wisconsin, USA. Really enjoyed the tour. Thinking about an Isuzu with 4x4 conversion to replace my 4x4 Sprinter. For Over-landing in the US, Canada and Mexico I’m considering the small block GM gas engine for simplicity and fuel availability. I liked Mitsubishi-Fuso but they are pulling out of the States. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Awesome, You guys are killing it! both with the setup and production quality of the content. Thanks for the honest review on all your gear. We will definitely be staying away from the sherpa winches, have heard way too many stories about them failing now. just a quick question what compressor is that you have swapped to now? I didn't catch the name and I don't think I've see that one around. Keep up the good work, you guys are gonna blow up!
I have often wondered why more people don't use the Isuzu platform. Most overland vehicles wannabe's seem to obsess with trying to find Mitsubishi Fuso. Do you know why? Is it better? New ones aren't available in the US so an Isuzu seems like a great option. You touched a bit on the Isuzu power, or lack of. Milage? The fancy American touring trucks you mentioned are great and comfy, but the milage is awful (worse than yours). You do a video centered on the Isuzu truck and what models choices there are? I love all the outdoor cooking options you have, that is not common in the states. Great job mate! All the best to you and your family. (sorry, you answered some of these questions at the end, I'm inpatient).

An oil rig? More like a truck.
Again Awesome can't believe I've only just found the channel I'm bingeing it hard- love how real you guys seem to be, I would love to live your life
The flying bugs! You have patience my man! I would be driven crazy! Amazing rig!

Great to you guys teaching your children the school of life that they’ll never forget. Keep on enjoying your travels wherever you go.👍👍 cheers
Thank you. They have the greatest life.
Nice truck (so many toys) and home!!!!! This video is for those days when you want to stay at home few beers & chips, better than Netflix :) Greetings from Coruña, Galicia, Spain!!!!!!!!!!! I will follow your adventures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for share!!!!!!!
I loved every bit of this. Such a neat setup of your electrics, cooking gear and food prep areas. It's giving me some ideas. I like the Isuzu too.
Cheers mate. Appreciate it
I'm about to build out a truck & I'm determined to put the electrics in a cupboard, half on the wall & half on the back of the door.
What a fantastic rig run down, amazing vehicle for touring Australia
Everything that you can tinker back to work yourself is the key, you got that👍👍

Knowing what happens when it breaks is essential.

Just came across your channel, Subscribed! Safe Travels Always! Cheers from my Wife and I from Los Angeles.
Well done guys! Great video. You have clearly showed the you have worked very hard for everything you have. Enjoy and safe travels!
Good rundown . Helps a lot.
Great review guys, we are hoping to get out there on the road in something similar within the next 12 months. Met with Stuart at ATW a few weeks ago to work out what we are going with on our setup, they do an awesome job.

Thank you Dwayne. All the best with the truck build. Your in good hands with atw
Nice work guys. I hope to see you on or off the road soon. This is truly a beautiful country that we live in.

Wow that’s so nice. Thank you. We do have footage from before this series. Maybe we can post some after this series is done
What an impressive rig. Really well kitted out and I can see why it suits you so well. "Basically" a well presented vid. Travel well.
Hahaha cheers
Great rig and great overview.. enjoy
Nice truck lovely set up you have spent some time setting it up for yourself and your family which works for you, some lovely equipment and great solutions to problems.
But those flies I couldn’t cope with that many flies, crikey you batted a few away but you cope so well with the rest
Haha. And i had fly spray plastered all over me too..to try and deter them. We’re pretty used to them now though 😅
Thanks for your message

Great video has helped heaps I’m in the process of building mine and taking your recommendations you saved me some pain I’m sure 👍🏾

I can’t like this video enough! Awesome job. ❤🇦🇺
Thank you!!!
American here, love the setup.
Thats awesome dude, love the walkthrough! For me its more tent on top and ditch the trailer. Isuzu's have a pretty good engine reliability too.
Everyone does it differently mate. Thank you for watching. 🙏✌️

If you've got enough fairleads to guide the cable through that's fair enough but without? I wouldn't want to trust my life to it.
great run down, nice to meet you.
I wouldn't trust a Ram in this country - Elnick Adventures recovered one with their Isuzu NPS in a recent video of theirs, that had broken down on the Googs Track. Most other 4WD wouldn't be able to do that.
You know how reliable a. Cummins is 😂
We tell elnick they should have bloody pulled me out of the binns
Wrightsville Beach, NC, USA checked in. Great family!
great build.. yeah i understand you with the amt. for terrain you would like a manual where you can control the revs with precision to get unstuck or not get stuck. same problem automatics got when driving in snow or on ice is its hard to control the power you put down to the wheels.
question.. how much got destroyed when it got stuck in that mud. only axles or did it bring some nasty expensive surprise like transfer case or something ??
Great stuff, excellent editing, keep up the good stuff. From DeLeon Texas!
Cheers Deleon from Australia
Awesome review.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Cheers mate
Great content & information on your amazing truck & what adventures wishing you all well from western Scotland 🎉
Love the truck...seriously love the kitchen set up. I like the garage area....Hmmm, I wonder if a full size trail bike could fit...needs a higher ceiling. I would go for the truck as opposed to a RAM or other vehicle, due to its durability, and GVM.
Yeah mate. Pretty much the reasons I picked the truck. If you took the back canopy off and just had one canopy, you could put the bike in the tray section ✌️
New subscriber from UK... spent ten years in QLD... Love this video... Loved it all... HOWEVER... can i ask about your first aid kit, it seemed to me that your first aid is just thrown in, in a box with little thought... Truly love everything your doing but please, with all them children raise the level of priority of the first aid gear and access, time is critical, not just for the kids but for you as without you, the children will be at risk... Like I say love it keep on going. Per Ardua.
Bloody awesome 👌 we have a supreme base camp & ranger. Have been travelling Oz since 2012 loving it all. Nice family mate. Rock on 🤘 ❤
Nice 👍 that’s a long time travelling!! Good work
Friend, the flying insects 🪰 in your video flew to me. I'm sitting here waving them off, too 😅. But I'm watching your video in northern Thailand 🌴.
A most excellent set up.
The point is it works for you.
But its just a tool. The way your family live your life is the best thing. Those kids will have a special childhood and it will shape them fir life.
Drive safe, happy travels 👍
Thank you for watching. I think your spot on 👌
Hello from Wisconsin, USA.
Really enjoyed the tour.
Thinking about an Isuzu with 4x4 conversion to replace my 4x4 Sprinter.
For Over-landing in the US, Canada and Mexico I’m considering the small block GM gas engine for simplicity and fuel availability.
I liked Mitsubishi-Fuso but they are pulling out of the States.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
It’s a good choice. Good luck with It all
Awesome, You guys are killing it! both with the setup and production quality of the content. Thanks for the honest review on all your gear. We will definitely be staying away from the sherpa winches, have heard way too many stories about them failing now. just a quick question what compressor is that you have swapped to now? I didn't catch the name and I don't think I've see that one around. Keep up the good work, you guys are gonna blow up!
I don't think it's named at 8:50 & I don't see a label. I don't recognize it either.
Thank you for a brilliant informative video we have a VW T6 that we can only use at the weekends but I wish we could live like you do Love ❤ from 🇬🇧
Thank you
No TV? Excellent!
Hi awesome video info , may I no what model was the truck compressor as I may have missed name of manufacture , love the videos
Hey mate. It’s an oasis air from the US.
hello. I saw a really cool camping truck. I wish there was a culture of camping with trucks in Korea too.
Start the culture 😊
Great rubdown. What do you use for front recovery points?
I have often wondered why more people don't use the Isuzu platform. Most overland vehicles wannabe's seem to obsess with trying to find Mitsubishi Fuso. Do you know why? Is it better? New ones aren't available in the US so an Isuzu seems like a great option. You touched a bit on the Isuzu power, or lack of. Milage? The fancy American touring trucks you mentioned are great and comfy, but the milage is awful (worse than yours). You do a video centered on the Isuzu truck and what models choices there are? I love all the outdoor cooking options you have, that is not common in the states. Great job mate! All the best to you and your family. (sorry, you answered some of these questions at the end, I'm inpatient).
