Had Longranger tanks for 15 yrs and never had an issue and it’s taken a few big rock hits underneath it.
The drone footage was at times absoutely stunning and your composition photographs are really beautiful.
Thank you very much!
I love your honesty; you guys are real. That’s a lovely ring you’re wearing, Holly 💖
Wow! I find that cost a bit daunting, especially as you seemed to have had the same teething problems we all face with a new set up.
Congratulations on your sponsorship deals and being able to build and afford your rig. I guess it's different if it's your job.
Lovely Ep guys
Thanks you could have given us a pre warning re the cost, I sprayed coffee across my iPad screen
Great video from both of you.
I am currently building a Troopy (Sandy Taupe naturally) for a major trip in Australia - 6-12months duration.
I really appreciate the openness and honesty of your videos and your willingness to tell the whole story, not just the good or self-promotional bits. The CSR series was particularly impressive in this regard. The whole group presented a good, engaging story.
I must also say that I really enjoy your photos and videos from a visual arts perspective, the quality and editing are exceptional.
All the best for the future in whatever direction it takes you both.
Thanks for the feedback we appreciate the kind words. Good luck with your build.
Great Q & A Matt and Holly. Love the Updates on how things are working. Merry Christmas to everyone .
Best wishes for future travel, work and family life. You two really influences me on my travels.
Pass my wishes to Adrian and Alan too (The Bush Mechanic)
Holly & Matt thanks for the video 👍👍
hi guys, nice wrap up of the Troopy and 2023 travels. all the best for 2024. cheers
Totally reasonable price guys. A lot of people must live under rocks to think a rig like yours would be under $200K with all the mods you have. I’ve done the Jmacx 4495kg GVM to my 79 and yep, it costs.
When you get the 40K service make sure Toyota engage your lockers before they replace/service your wheel bearings otherwise the locker ring will fall out. Cheers
Yeah its a big investment but gees its nice! Good tip on the 40K service 👍
Great Q&A guys..... bring on 2024.
Hi guys, happy to hear that you are being open about the what did work and what didn’t. Good to see you you have taken onboard some advice from your viewers , it works both ways. There is nothing perfect and we are always learning. The long ranger fuel tank you will be happy with, I have had mine for 16 years and I like how it use the factory gauge., no LED stick on.
Great episode guys your honesty goes a long way that would awesome that tag a long but we are currently saving for the cape can't do both have a great New Year cheers legends ☺️
Cool some great info
Great presentation, Really honest and authentic. Wish I was young again!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Guys, you’re inspiring .
I totally understand about a homebase after working 7+ years driving adventure tours through North Africa Scandinavia and Europe. I was glad to be able to return home to New Zealand.
I’m lucky to have been able to buy last ones to be able to get a new Troopy in New Zealand.
With the change to the new Land Cruiser 70 series the Troopy has been deleted from the models available in NZ.
If there is anyone who would like to order a new Troopy in NZ there was three more new cancelled order Troopys in stock in NZ read it to be shipped to your local Toyota dealer and then that’s it.
Love the honesty on the price guys. Its pretty rare for anyone to admit what they paid, let alone on UA-cam. Keep up the good work!
Yeah not cheap! Makes the 4.5K HJ47 look pretty good!
I need more paintings Matt 🙂
Great video, I'm new to the channel but have watched all the hilux and Lc travels which you can tell in this latest Q&A is why you have spot on advice on 4x4 accessories. Also the footage you guys create is amazing to watch, You and Salty D are def up there and either would be a great buy on a large print be a cool Christmas gift. Look forward to next episode. Merry Christmas
Cheers mate appreciate you watching all the videos! Keep an eye out for the prints :)
Hi Guys, love to hear about your opinion concerning full time travelling. I completely agree, it is hard and not for everybody. I also prefer to have a home base, love my Troopy and would not miss it but after a3 month travel I also love to be back home and digest all the impression from the travel. with full time travel your are quickly at the status ‚data overflow‘ 😂. cheers mates!
A tag along sounds good.
If you're keen email us at olttours@gmail.com
I have seen one troopy with a slide out kitchen behind the passenger door. The best location I have seen.
Thanks for the video guys - I’m busy building a Troopy largely inspired by yourselves and Ronny Dahl - very interested in your Headspace video when it comes out - definitely leaning in that direction. Also getting married next year - who knows!
Fantastic honest insight, I love that you still rate the Hilux build and that you are constantly evolving the troopy build and not just settling. The tagalong sounds awesome and what a fantastic spot to go to.
Wedding season has changed and lengthened somewhat. Best of luck
Yes we often comment to each other that the Hilux had no right to work as well as it did considering we made the build out with a hand saw, a chisel, hammer and drill.
@@OverlandTravellers sometimes it is the simple things that just work
I don't know much about cars but I figured it would cost that much. We would love to do tag along but it's impossible for us right now because we no longer have our gig 😅. We are working to save and build our home on wheels again. Thank you for sharing with us the info ❤
Hi guys love your work what navigation aid do you use on the head unit. Thanks
Love the idea of the tag along with you all, perhaps if you run another in 2025. We already have a trip away sorted for next year.
Keep up the great work
We’d love a print; the most recent prints are fabulous!
Keep an eye out hopefully I can out something together soon
I just can't see the 2.8L managing 35s and GVM upgrades. I think people looking for heavy duty towing vehicles will move to the American trucks.
Toyota are still providing the V8. It’s a choice between the two.
It’s going towards the US trucks anyway - a lot of the high end caravans when loaded are going to struggle to stay under 3.5tonne.
@@richwhetton that’s so true. The main drawback with Yank trucks is they are too wide and oversized for off-road tracks such as VIC High Country and the like. I suppose there are positive and negative points in most equipment choices when it comes to towing large vans. 🍺
My PXIII $73K 2021 Ranger, outfitted was $120K (flame me, but it's bullet proof and I can travel with it without the van). The Vison 14" Hybrid outfitted was $125K ($245K total, paid with cash). My monthly fixed costs are $8K+ pa. Annual fixed costs are $2K+.
That $11K pa does not include fuel, pantry and fridge food, alcohol, servicing, events, consumables, snacks and take aways, medical and pharmacy, clothes and shoes, camp fees, servicing and parts, family gifts and the usual unknown unknowns.
It costs over $50K a year to travel Australia constantly or continuously on a small budget. I'm closer to $100K pa, not because I'm frivolous but because it's realistic.
I'm 64 (with good Super) but still work part time (2-3 days on the road) and have an Army pension ~$54K after tax. Still got the home - no mortgage, no car loan, no personal loans, just a $10K CC for ease of use.
Many YTs go dark after a failed attempt at "living on the road" because the arithmetic wasn't done before setting off.
I will be honest I am not sure what you're trying to tell me here.
@@OverlandTravellers Sorry, I posted to the wrong VLOG.
Hey mate you should go the new ARB Parabolic airbag set up
To my knowledge they don’t have any kits for heavier applications
@@OverlandTravellers up to 1000kg
@@kromey111 of payload or extra GVM capacity?
Do your prints in a book I think it would be popular
How about combine with a cookbook?
$220,000 is ridiculous amount of money for what you have. It’s just a Toyota with a tent on top. I’m sure it’s more than capable and you like it just the same . 😀😀
P.S. You have to have a home. 😀
Hi, how much is the 2024 trophy 2.8 auto in australia?
Somewhere around 85k aud
$210,000 dollars to see Australia, country and its 4WD scene has lost the plot.. what happened to the good old honest minimalistic days, fridge, head torch and a few bits an bobs with a simple , maintained ,reliable 20k 4WD .. very sad.
We did the travel around Aus in a 20k 4WD a few years ago. Best year ever.
Weeeeee first
The people questioning how the 2.8 will go towing must never have driven a Hilux, Prado or Defender with similar engines.
