    Probably the most useful video I've ever watched on You Tube - I've got an FJ that I have just started modifying for road trips/camping.. long long way to go to get close to a set up anything like yours... but learn't loads just by watching.... Many thanks for sharing.

    • @4xAdventures
      @4xAdventures  5 років тому +2

      Hi Ross, Thanks very much!! 😀
      I highly recommend getting a GVM upgrade as the FJ’s payload & factory GVM is fairly low.
      I’m actually not over GVM, believe it or not. I’ve kept everything as light as possible. Apart from the payload, the only other downside of the FJ is the lack of room, however if you are clever about how you design it, you can see that space is not really an issue.
      Enjoy your future FJ!! :)

    Thank you so much for your fantastic build video - we also have a 2012 Red FJ Cruiser called "CHIEF" as it was an American fire Chief's vehicle brought to Australia & converted - I'd love to do a build like you have - but I have just started to save again after being off work for 6mths after cutting my fingers off with a circular saw. My next add on is a long range fuel tank, Drifta Drawers & 12Volt system + 2 spotties & a light Bar...this will take place over the next 2 years. we already have a red & chrome ARB bulbar & Rhino full length roof rack + newly added GME CB Radio for a our group 4WD trips....Thank you again for the great Video. Looking forward to more Videos from you!!! Darren

    Very good build for overlanding. My 2016 was stock for first year then I started doing necessary mods. I have kept OEM size tires but switched to Nitto Terra Grappler G2s. I added a snorkel and TRD exhaust and did the ARB breather mod. I added TTUE Bilstein 6112/5165 to the suspension and most important, I added a Hayden 679 transmission cooler. Apart from that a Magnefine filter to keep the tranny clean and oil catch can to keep the intake tract clean as well. Added MCC nudge bar to accommodate a pair of PIAA LP570s. The transmission oil cooler is highly recommended for overlanding.

    • @4xAdventures

      @@4xAdventures fully loaded climbing up steep hills behind slow traffic on hot day, 30c reduction in temps. There are some significant threads on fjcc.com.au and fjcruiserforums.com regarding the importance of transmission cooler and damage from heat on the A750 thats the standard auto in FJC. Usually most have experienced burnt oil under 50000 as well as other transmission damage if they regularly did hills, stop and go traffic as well as beaches and off roads. The built in cooler in the radiator doesn't suffice for the vehicle if its used regularly beyond call of its design.

    It is very interesting to see just what you have done to make your outback and off road travelling both safe and comfortable. The ability to be able to respond to any situation quickly and with all tools to hand is most useful. Similarly the ability to quickly set up camp and prepare a hearty meal even in inclement weather at the end of a long day on the road.Congratulations on a very informative presentation.I am very interested in what you have achieved and would like to get in touch with you soon.Brian Smith

      I know what you mean. The first time I saw the FJ, it didn’t do anything for me. Then I saw the inside and I didn’t like it. But that was a few years before I got into 4WDing. Now, I love my FJ, and keep realising that it’s an amazingly capable vehicle. So far, I haven’t found its limits off-road... and that’s probably a good thing! :)

    Excellent video, and thanks for sharing your experience. Looking forward to setting up something similar in an FJ next year, and your choice of components and equipment gives lots of helpful pointers for a workable setup. In particular, I like your minimalist kitchen, as I think too many people focus on an “all the bells and whistles” approach that is both space consuming and heavy.

    • @4xAdventures

      Thanks very much! I’m particularly happy with my kitchen setup. This basically evolved over a number of years through trial & error. Everything is designed to be quick & efficient & having now used this about 50 times, there is very little I would change with it. It does the job really well.

    I paused the video at EPIRB and added one to my Amazon list. 😅 This is probably the best build I've seen so far. The awning is the winning stroke for me and the hot water shower system is brilliant. While I love the build, I think I'll still get a camper. Unfortunately, women have a little more to think about when it comes to being naked outside while traveling solo!

      @@4xAdventures I can't wait to see what you you do with the camper. I know you won't let the FJ down and will give it a worthy partner! 😅 I plan to pair the FJ Cruiser with an RPod 179 to start and then move up to a GeoPro 19FD once my desert home is done. The idea is to spend half the time at the desert home and the rest of the year living in the camper while traveling solo in the Great American Western deserts. We'll see if my plans survive COVID-19. I originally should have been leaving on Monday, but alas! Safe travels to you as well. :)

    • @4xAdventures
      @4xAdventures  4 роки тому +1

      I’m definitely keeping the FJ. I’ve spent way too much time & effort on it, so it is definitely staying! Plus, the FJ is a brilliant 4WD!!
      Unfortunately towing a caravan into the remote outback is not really an option here in Australia. No sealed roads & the most shocking corrugations means that your standard caravan will simply be shaken to bits. So I’m definitely in favour of a self-contained vehicle like what I’ve built.
      I have plenty of trips coming up, so if your interested, stay tuned :)
      Your trips sound fascinating as well. Wish I could see that part of America. 🙂

Still on my list, but will need to be its own trip. The desert roads out west are probably as bad as Aussie haha. I got stuck out there last year. Took 3 hours to pull out the over-ambitious crossover I rented. Those 2 RVs have optional off-road kits, so hopefully I won't bottom out. I subscribed, so will definitely stay tuned to see what you have coming up next. ☺️

      Legitimate question for you, how does it drive on the highway? I am curious at speeds of 100-125km. With the tent and extra weight etc.

    • @4xAdventures
      @4xAdventures  4 роки тому

      Thanks very much!! 😊👍

    • @4xAdventures
      @4xAdventures  4 роки тому +2

      Legit answer: very comfortable. The FJ is a super comfy car anyway. The extra weight seems to make no difference handling-wise. I’ve been up & down 45 degree inclines and there are no stability issues at all.
      Re. wind noise, yes, there is wind noise, but it’s not too bad really. There is always the radio. But often I find myself driving in silence, lost in thought, and the wind noise doesn’t really bother me. It’s there, but easily gotten used to I think.
      From a fuel economy point of view, range is decreased a bit. The best I’ve ever gotten on a full tank was 1650km highway driving, but that was when the car was new & empty. These days, with a full load, I get about 1450 highway & ~1200 city driving.
      Hope that helps!! 😊

I’ve had no issues and they have given me a much more comfortable ride over rough corrugations than friends who’s vehicles had different shocks. I’m definitely very happy with them.

I have the Rhino Rack backbone system on the roof (Frontrunner also make a backbone system) with 3 x heavy duty load bars. If you can get low-profile load bars (Alu-Cab or FrontRunner both make these), your tent will sit a little lower. All the best!!

      Hi Alex! Which country are you in? I only know the market in Australia. Over here, you can get a 2012 model with 200-250,000 on the clock for about AU$24k. The trouble is, FJ’s hold their value really well, so it’s hard to find one for much less. If you’re in the US and that $20K was US dollars, you could probably pick up a much newer model with far fewer mileage. Good luck!! 😊👍

      G’day Dave. Back in that video, I had it going under the rubber seal, which is not the best way of doing it. Since then I’ve re/done it a better way. You can see it more clearly in the FJ rebuild series (can’t remember which episode… 2 or 3 I think). Essentially there is an existing rubber grommet that has power going to the rear door demister. You can push the coax wire through this grommet. This comes out just near the rear tail light. Hope that helps! 😊👍

    G’day, I’ve just discovered and binge watched almost all of your videos. Great work and information. I’m am getting the Ali-cab roof top tent fitted to my Prado but I have the rhino rack flat platform on the backbone system. I’m in two minds as to whether I have the rhino rack platform removed and just have alu-cab cross bars fitted to the backbone or mount the RTT to the platform roof rack. How have you found the Alu-cab fitted to the heavy duty bars and backbone?

    • @4xAdventures
      @4xAdventures  3 роки тому

      Thanks very much! And welcome to the channel!
      I highly recommend leaving the backbone in place, removing the platform tray and adding 3 x heavy duty load bars to support the tent. This is substantially lighter, and you want to reduce the weight on the roof as much as possible. In fact, if you get 3 x low profile load bars (the Frontrunner ones are the lightest), the tent will be as close to the roof as possible. That is the best result.
      The Ali-Cab tents are great - I love mine and would get it again.
      All the best! 😊👍

    Hi Artie, there does your Awning cover ,the back door property, I have a Darche would you or any of your followers have an idea of how to make something to cover so rain doesn't get in thankyou.The space between it a.d the roof rack is 11inch and goes out to 14 inch.

    • @4xAdventures
      @4xAdventures  3 роки тому

      Hi Suzy, lovely to hear from you :) My awning is the Alu-cab 270 shadow awn. The name is a bit misleading because it’s more like 269 degrees. It is exactly like yours - there’s a gap above the rear door which widens a little as you go across the vehicle. I know you can buy a “rain gutter” for the alu-cab awning - not sure if it would be suitable for other awnings. But I’ve heard of people making their own, and I may make my own as well one day. Essentially, all you need is a long piece of canvas that is a bit wider than the gap and longer than the width of the car. I would then Velcro one edge to the awning frame and the other edge to the roof top tent (or roof rack if you don’t have a roof top tent). Allow a bit of slack so it forms a shallow U-shaped gutter & allows the rain to drain off beyond your door hinge. That’s my idea anyway... there’s no reason it won’t work. 😊👍

    Just wanting to understand the heat exchanger - do you have the engine running whilst you shower or does it heat water whilst you drive ready for when you get to camp ?

    • @4xAdventures
      @4xAdventures  2 роки тому +1

      Hi Chris, check out the Hot Water system FAQ video - it may answer some questions. But basically, all the heat exchanger does is allow you to pass cold water from your water tank or external source through the heat exchanger, where it is heated up on the fly because the plumbing inside the heat exchanger bring it into close proximity to the hot coolant that has just circulated through your engine. Note: they never mix - they just pass close enough to each other for the heat to be transferred to the cold water pipe.
      If you keep your engine idling, you have an unlimited source of hot water. If you turn the engine off, you still have residual heat from the engine block to heat water for a period of time. The FAQ video should be able to answer any more questions.
      All the best! 😊👍

  • @oliverswiss7197

    Great video, interesting to see a different setup. However, I don't like that kitchen setup, with the fridge on the back seat. I have mine in the back with all the kitchen gear. Rather than walking back and forth all the time. For weekend trips I use the drifta table, for longer trips of with the missus the brilliant frontrunner table that sits under the roof rack. Also that built in cooker with butan gas won't work in winter.
    Roof top tents are also not ideal for me. Great setup and quick pack-up. But too much weight on the roof for me. Prefer my swag, yes takes 5 min to setup, but who cares...When I did the simpson, I needed the space on the roof. Couldn't have done it with a roof top tent.
    Love the shower setup :-)

    • @4xAdventures
      @4xAdventures  5 років тому +1

      Hi Ralf,
      Thanks for your comments. There are SO many ways of building these things. Whatever works well for you, is the right setup for you! :)
      I started out with the fridge in the back but it took far too much space, plus I didn’t want to have the back filled to the ceiling. I want to be able to see out the back. I had no use for the back seat anyway. The fridge and cooking setup is working really well for me now. I can’t imagine going back to carrying 2 tables & setting up cooker etc. I like the quick & hassle free setup :) I travel mostly solo, so this works great for me, but yes, it may not be suitable for everyone.
      I did the Simpson a year ago with exactly this setup and it worked a treat.
      If you check out the Lake Mungo Part 3 video, you can see that I was camping in 4*C and the gas stove worked just fine. Mind you, it did take a little longer, but it still worked ok - I think partly because it was sheltered from the weather being down inside the drawer. I do like the idea of an alcohol stove though...might switch to that if I can track one down. I think Dometic make one.
      Anyway, thanks very much for watching & commenting. I might see you out on the tracks one day. All the best! 😊👍

    Hi, what is the load rating for your roof rack and how heavy is your tent. Just purchased a James Baroud Espace, which weighs 60 kg to go on my FJ Cruiser. Has been recommended to install on a Rhino platform with the backbone system, which will have a load rating of 120kg compared to a rating if 70 kg for the backbone with 3 bars. Of course the set up with the bars would be cheaper option. What are your thoughts?
    Very nice video. Thanks for the upload.

    • @4xAdventures
      @4xAdventures  4 роки тому

      Hi Rudi, I don’t know the roof rack load capacity off the top of my head, but it’s the Rhino Rack backbone system. The specs are probably easy to find online.
      The Alu-Cab Gen3 rooftop tent is 80kg.
      I’ve seen the James Baroud tents, but I didn’t have a look at how they mount to the roof rack. Typically, most tents come with brackets that allow them to be mounted on most roof racks.
      The load bars would definitely be lighter than the full platform - which is why I have the load bars instead of a platform. It’s unnecessary weight. Also, I’d recommend going with 3 heavy duty load bars. From memory, they are rated at 76kg each, so with 3 of them, your weight is evenly distributed and easily within their rated limits. If you can find low-profile load bars, that would save 50% on height. Alu-cab and frontrunner both make low profile bars.
      The more important thing to pay attention to, is the roof load capacity. This is really difficult to track down though because Toyota don’t seem to publish this. 100-120kg would be typical of roof (dynamic) weight capacity. Static weight, i.e.when you’re parked would be greater.
      You would have no issues with your 60kg tent, the backbone & 3 x HD load bars.
      Thanks for watching!! And good luck with your FJ! 😀👍

      Hi Suzy :) Yes, the solar panel is charging the secondary battery. I have a 110AH lead crystal battery, which I am very happy with, however I would recommend a lithium battery if you are looking for a battery, simply because it has all the same characteristics of a lead crystal (super quick to recharge, can discharge to completely empty), but it is about half the weight of lead crystal.

      The best I ever got with the FJ was 1650km on a full tank (159L tank). That was when the car was new, highway driving, and was most definitely on fumes for the last 100km I think. Typically I would get about 1500km Highway/1100km city. Now that I have it all set up for touring, I get about 1400km highway and 900-1000km city. It’s not too bad & depending on how heavy your right foot is, you could get better/worse.

    Nice job. Curious about the wind and fuel, with all the extras and especially top heavy additions, how far are you getting on a tank of fuel? I am completely stock, wind pushes me around as this square box moves, and @ 65mph w/ my cruise control on for 90% of my commute, I am getting 16 - 17 mpg. Those are good numbers, but still the range is limited to about 250miles before panic starts setting in. Again.., nice job!

    • @4xAdventures
      @4xAdventures  4 роки тому +1

      Hi there! I only know the stats in metric, so I will give you those figures and you can work out the conversion. In Australia, the FJ Cruiser comes standard with a 159L tank. Australia is huge, so a 1000km range is the minimum requirement. As such, the best I have ever gotten was when the car was brand new, with no tent/fridge or any mods, it 1650km on a single tank. That was highway driving the whole way and I was definitely running on fumes by the end of it. Normally I'd get about 1500km highway and ~1100km city driving. But since the addition of the tent and all the other mods, those figures have come down. I'm now getting ~1400km highway/900-1000km city driving. Soft sand would alter that again, although I don't have enough data to have a firm figure for soft sand driving (yet). I hope that helps. Thanks very much for watching!! :)

I have had a bunch of requests for installing heat exchangers & the hot water shower system. I’m located in Sydney.

    Great vid, what are the mounts you are using for the cross bars on top of the tent? They look very neat and low profile 👍🏻

      G’day Shaun. Thank you. The roof rack consists on the Rhino Rack Backbone system which runs along the left & right edge of the roof. On top of that, I’m using 3 x Rhino Rack heavy duty load bars. These are about 3cm thick. Frontrunner & Alu-Cab have both released a low profile load bar that is 1/3 that thickness so I might switch to those at some point. The brackets that mount the tent to the load bars are made by Ali-Cab and actually come with the tent. The tent must be mounted with these brackets.
      Hope that helps!!

      Hey mate that’s great. It’s the load bars under your maxtrax I was asking about (I wasn’t very clear) the alucab bars are quite tall and yours are relatively low. 👍🏻

      Ahh yes. The bars up the top are Alu-Cab low profile bars. Frontrunner make very similar ones & they weigh less than the Alu-Cab bars, so I might change them in the future. The way the MaxTrax are mounted to the bars is something I made up. I bought some maxtrax mounts from ARB & removed the mounting pins, drilled holes in the load bars & mounted the pins on there. They are less than 1cm from the tent, so nice & low :)

      Thanks mate! I was look at the unpainted stainless steel brackets that hold the load bars onto the tent roof. Haven’t seen them around before 👍🏻

    Hi there Artie just wondering how did you install the platform for the fridge and how did you secure the fridge to it thankyou.

      Hi Suzy! Great to hear from you. I hope you are well :)
      I started by removing the seat portion of the chair. This is easily removed by undoing the 2 red knobs under the seat when it’s flipped up. I left the 2 hinges in place because that is what the board is mounted to. You can choose to remove the backrest as well, although that’s a little more work, but not too difficult. It’s then a matter of measuring & cutting a board to size and mounting it to the 2 hinges at the front of the seat. Because the floor under the board is all uneven, you will need to add some wood to the underside of the board until it is level & sturdy. There is an unused bolt hole right in the middle of the seat area - that’s the third point where you fasten the board down to the floor.
      You can get some rails with a movable fastening ring from super cheap. I bolted these either side of the board and then strapped the fridge down to it.
      I highly recommend using hardened steel bolts everywhere (not stainless steel). Hardened steel bolts are sort of copper coloured and thick washers to make sure the fridge is nice & secure and doesn’t rip through the board if you roll over. I don’t remember the bolt sizes off the top of my head, but the middle bolt needs to be the longest one you can get (it may be an M11... ?!) It’s a fairly easy piece of work. Best of luck!! 😊

      Tassie! Awesome! That should be fun. I’d love to go back one day and explore it properly. I have far too many places on my bucket list and nowhere near enough time at the moment 😢
      It sounds like you’re having lots of fun getting your FJ all set up. I’d love to see it one day. Stay safe, & enjoy Tassie 👋☺️
