"All you need is to let your tyres down and the means to pump them back up"
One weird trick companies don't want you to know!!!
Yep - my Mrs asked what she needed in a soft roader to go places - Air pump is number 1 - even a "pathetic" lowend pump is better than nothing (at least once).
64k. Stock 4wd.
Take me back. It's just ridiculous now.
Watching this series very closely, I purchased a Hilux last week and so far you've already answered a lot of my questions, good work mate.
Love it Ronny, that is how I have camped and hunted for years here in British Columbia, Canada! Very old school, roughing it in the Bush.
This is an excellent series Ronny. I'm not planning to get a Hilux, but the info you present is clear and applicable to all 4x4's. I really appreciate you are not building unobtainium.
Thank you for putting in all the time and effort for these videos.
Cheers 🍻
Thanks for the appreciation 🍻
@@Ronny_Dahl - I only have a cab chassis and my little buddy has really taken to fishing and camping, so I have a big decision coming up. Been doing heaps of research and wanted to say a big thank you for your “no nonsense” videos. Mate, it could save people thousands - or save us making a mistake, especially for those of us who can only afford one vehicle that can do both work and play.
Cheers 🍻 again
From the owner of a stock toyota SUV thank you so much, too many crazy builds on youtube. Nice to see simplicity.
Hear, hear! To add to what you've said, this shake-up demonstrated the abilities & limitations of a nearly-stock vehicle, & the adjustments a driver can do to make full use of the vehicle despite existing limitations.
All that gear has no value if you don't have experience in overlanding.
Until now you're the perfect gear.🤙Thank you for your work buddy.
I think it's hard to do what you like and get paid for it ...😂👍
Good video mate thanks for sharing. Love that you are telling people to just get out there rather than telling them they need a heap of mods to do anything.
Loving the hilux build mate
The only mods I worry about is a winch because he gives you peace of mind if I wanna go through a mud hole or anything else
Very good video mate! Love the little steps you explain every single detail.
Mate I've ordered my sr5 because i like the look and feedback you give and i might just follow your build.. love ya work
make sure you get an akubra mate
Thanks Ronny, been doing the off road, overlanding, crawling, for many years, and several different platforms, but dig your take on things. Keep up the good work, and Cheers!
Wow!! Thanks for the advice on Rock Sliders. Certainly have a few more important considerations to make.
Cheers Ronny!!
Ive got one of those small shovels. Had it for years and awesome
Great series! I have a 2020 Tacoma. Will start building it in a year or so. Looking forward to following your lux build for ideas and insight. Keep up the great work brother!
Mate I love your videos, so glad there is someone being honest about just getting out and doing it in a stock vehicle. I've been learning heaps from your videos this year. I've had my new JB74 for a month now and been out 3 times already, so much fun and so capable as a stock car. The 3rd time I had some KO2's put on, but still had a crack fully stock after only 500k's on the odo. You're a true Aussie legend mate, keep up the good vids.
Great stuff mate. Thankyou for the hard work.
Here in the USA, I've got my self a Tacoma. My build is extremely slow bc im trying to purchase a home and these mods can quickly add up but going slow has definitely allowed me to get out there see where the rig is lacking and buying only what I absolutely need as I go along. It's fun to watch my rig transform slowly and sometimes I wish I could go a bit faster with the build as I watch everyone around me with there fully kitted out trucks but for now I'm making do, lol. So I'm especially enjoying your Hilux build as it's more for the common man lol. Thanx and keep up the awesome videos!
P.s. just managed to purchase an ARB snorkel for 100$ off the usual price. Super excited for that, can't wait for our to arrive.
I LOVE your message at the beginning. In the age of Instagram overlanding cred, I think too many folks don’t think they can just get out and go.
Actually going from a tray and canopy set on my old px 2 ranger to a tub set up on my new 2021 Dmax. already saving weight and money with the option out today
What a great series and a great approach, doing 2 builds. I've had my current hilux for a year and a half now and the only changes I've made are winter tyres, for winter, and a pair of driving lights. After seeing this I think I will put all terrains on in spring instead of the highway tyres.
Excellent stuff Ronnie
Excellent Ronny!!:D
Projecta powahub 👌🏽 bang for buck portable powerbox i have one in my np300 navara and love it
It is great to see this progress. We picked up a new SR5 pre-face lift for a bargain in the sales. So we don't have the extra power, car play etc but otherwise pretty similar. We are new to owning a ute and 4 Wheel driving in general. So far our mod choices seem to be following yours pretty closely apart from a soft cover (we already have the roof rack) and a decent 12v system has been added.
Thank you Ronny, I live in Norway and you have inspired me to sell my tesla and buy a Hilux, I cant afford all these builds straight away thats for sure but i am looking at 2016+ models. Thank you for the videos.
Thanks Ronny 👍
I love my Uneek rocksliders I have rested the whole weight of my ranger on them no dramas at all. Best 1st mod in my opinion. Cheers Steve
The first acessory i add to any pickup is a fiberglass camper shell. Lockable, dry storage is something i cant live without
Nice vid Ronny good to see the Hilux slowly getting there keen to do a shake down on mine this weekend as well how comfortable are these new cars 😂
Every off road adventurer needs to watch this series and ASPWs Zambia ep 16. Just get out there! Well done.
Really cool build project. I'm waiting for mine atm as well. Ordered the Extra Cab though. Would be cool if you'd explain your decision for the Double Cab at some point.
I thought about that decision a lot and ended up with the EC mainly because I can sleep in it when I add a canopy... Stealth camping is a useful feature in Europe since setting up camp is not allowed in most places :)
Great videos overall. They get me so pumped for my truck :D
Greetings from Germany!
Appreciate the focus, at least on build one, on the normal budget.
Ronny, great videos, love the content as usual. I do have a video suggestion though. Could you cover securing things inside the cab from a safety perspective. If one were to flip their 4WD it wouldn't be good to have heavy things (i.e. cans of food, tools, an axe) flying around inside the cab. Also, bottles rolling under the brake pedal. Things falling off seats can result in one reaching to pick them back up which means diverting one's attention from driving.
An example of something I do in my work van. I'm a field service tech, my laptop backpack and lunch box live on the passenger seat when I'm on the way a job site. I got tired of my lunch box falling off on the floor so I loop the lunch box should strap over the seat headrest. When traffic gets dumb (i.e. people 5 cars in front of me slamming on the brakes because they aren't paying attention) I'll also pull the passenger seat belt over both the lunch box and backpack to keep them in place should I have an accident.
Hi Ronny, just wanted to say that I love your channel!! I am selling 94 G class (crazy offroad rig) and switching this year to now SR5 Hilux with bigger engine as I have daughter now and want to get my family into it for a next decade at least! I will go for AT habitat and few more mods but want to go more from experience rather then making full set at the beginnig. This channel is very helpful and now exciting as we will have same cars! Cheers from Poland!!
Check out the AFN bull bar with hoops
Great vids and content thanks
What will your mods do to the warrantee or have you just given up on that?
Ronny. when you do your bar work, it would be great to hear your thoughts on the pros/cons of hoopless, single hoop and triple hoop bars and whether some styles are better for particular circumstances (technical driving vs touring etc)
Ronny starting to resemble Bruce Springstein circa 1985
Ronnie as long as the beers are cold and the fire is burning mate.
Glad your a hard copy map person like me.
Ronny, get some seat covers for the love of god, while your seats are still nice
No point in having nice seats if you can't see them likesaving your wife for next guy
@@mblake0420 you put a smile on my face, love your comment
thank you for detail video
look at wheels and tyres for my Isuzu 300 4x4 crew cab and cost set is $8,000 dollars buy off-road tyes
Hi Ronny, Any chance you can add a link to ebay for your head torch? i have looked for months on and off and can't seem to find the one you use. It just reminded me again when you mentioned it .Thanks.
I got a question: You gonna add a snorkel because of that river crossing you did on that shakedown trip?
I use my gu patrol for touring at the moment but may also grab the new ranger raptor next year, if it comes out awd, as I think it’s the best looking Ute I’ve ever seen. I would like to turn that into a tourer as well as the ifs unfortunately would make it a weak candidate as a weekend rock basher as well, so your shows are perfect to see what would work on a Ute as touring mods. Great segment.
Hi Ronny loving the build up the Lux look awesome. You were talking about doing some lighting in the tub maybe some camp lights. Have you thought about running strip lights. They are lightweight bright and don't use much power. What's your thoughts?
When you mention a bul/roobar, I'm reminded of a farmer strapping a roadkill roo to the roobar, to feed her dogs.
Hey mate, I use a projecta battery box, consider it for a option as with a cheap solar controller its a great oiption as it has a built in 300w pure sine built into it, its a good unit, good video, you know what i'd look forward to seeing, how it stacks up to heavily modded vehicles on your trips, like up against the 79's etc.
We need a project Luxy T shirt! Be interesting to see how it sells in comparison to the two cruisers
Best goddamn series lessgo
Perfect time to buy the hilux and all the mods. Instant asset write off💰💰
Like anything else you buy for hobby- leisure
Have a facelift 2.4 Luxy. The 2.8 has just been brought to the shores of Scotland 🏴 and I plan on getting one soon as. I like the rear bed cover you’re rocking mate I may go for a similar set up but was also thinking about a roll out load bed slide set up and was wondering if you think it would be a good idea or not worth the load space lost ???
Outstanding videos absolutely love this channel buddy 👌👍👍👍
i want everything and now:), yes you have point, I got Grand Cherokee WK2 and was bad buy in the beginning as not enough space with 4 and German Shepard. Than after 2-3 years I was on hunt and went thru few trucks, Tacoma, Colorado (amazing off road but too small), Tundra is better but no locker, Dodge Power Wagon is right but price tag is away up there. So I have needed up with Titan XD 4 ProX. Add topper, drawer system from decked, 34' ( i wish 35' but it needs front fender mods, iKamper, FrontRunners rack and removable winch. Next will do lighting, replace fronts struts, rock sliders (1000 bucks in USA min)
I think a Amber and white LED strip and magnetic strip on the inside of you hard top would go well.
Great intro to your setup mate, can't wait for your next step into the mods.
Keep up the good work.
Love the vids mate, even got the wife hooked. My question is is you find a fridge and fridge location idea for the tub please share. Cheers
If*
Great set up, what litre size is that CAOS storage tub Ronny please matey?
Hey Ronny. When talking to the camera what camera body, lense and mic are you using. Something has improved greatly, this is top quality.
I notice you weigh and keep track everything for the build, will you also provide a cost of everything? I see the purpose of build one is to show people what they need - feels like a waste if you don't include costs?
Hey Ronny - can you recommend a workout plan for long-term overlanding?
Loving the hilux mods Ronny, I was wondering if it would still be okay to run the stock 18 inch hilux rims with all terrains? What would you recommend? Also waiting how the black out paint will look on yours before I do mine. Cheers
You don't really need to bring a tent if you have a wagon. I've gone camping in the back of my car several times. It really is enjoyable.
Just thought I'd throw that out there.
Mate loving the hard lid, what's your thoughts opening it up with a 6x3m gazebo strapped to it ?. I priced it up online and would like to know before selling my first born child to get one
Ronny. Do you have any tips or video on how to prevent your truck from rolling? It seems to be common here in the U.S
8:20 There are aftermarket seat spacers which go under Toyota truck seats to tilt them forwards, backwards or lift straight up. I think they are aluminum blocks, anodized black.
Hey what do you think about double shakles increasing comfort.
Is there a plan later on to tow your camper trailer with the hilux.
Nice Q&A , Good job! Very helpful
Hi Ronny, I like the tinted slimeline wind shield /screens you have over your windows on the Hilux, do you find they stop any wind noise when you have your window down about an inch or so ?
Hi Ronny. You made an important observation comparing HT tyres to the AT tyres regarding how low pressures need to go to increase tyre footprint. I’ve let tyres down (and had to pump them back up) hundreds of times, but I have never done a side by side comparison between the two types of tyres.
Could you please do an air down comparison?
Let down a HT to a pressure that gives you (say) the footprint for soft sand.
Then air down the AT until you get the desired footprint and compare the pressure differences.
Regards,
Sean
Hey Ronny, what type of mat do you use under your swag? Cheers
Campingwise, would like to see a shakedown done with the family it is current not-so-modified form. For the most of us would get a dual cab and load it up with 2 adults and 2 children with camping gear in the tub.
Also what brand of rack will you put on the hilux ???
New vid👍
Hey - general 4x4 question - do you think a turbo timer is required - don’t hear much about people adding them - do u think they are needed
What do you think about the afn bullbar? at least looks amazing :DDD
Very nice video 👍 can you tall me please where to get this hard lid or any link description? Thanks mate
Hi again I just sow the full video talking about the hard lid 👍👍
When are you going to try the beach down bremer bay at the abalone farm???
Hi Ronny, What kind of compressor do you use in the hilux from which manufacturer is your pressure gauge?
Interested to know if you have sealed the tailgate somehow? I just purchased the new X-Terrain DMax with roller shutter lid and took it down to Deep Creek Conservation Park in SA and all my gear in the tub ended up full of dust
You can buy tailgate seal kits on EBay for less than $50. I used one that had 3M seals and the seals needed to be cut to length. It was all fairly simple, just lay the seal in the sun first as the rubber seal is far more flexible and is easier to work into the shape of the body and tailgate.
My MQ Triton has a hard lid and it gets no dust in the tray at all since installing the seals.
Hi Ronny, I have a video request. You have mentioned bush mechanic repairs using wire and your Knipex wire cutters. I wonder if you could do a video showing some tying techniques and repair uses. Thanks
Hi Ronny. You mentioned you had a snake bite kit, would you be able to tell us where you can purchase those from and what's in it if possible. Any info would be great.
Go camping in Balcatta
have a look at ironman bullbars. they do loop bars
Can you fit 275/65 r18 with 0 offset rims?
Looking forward to this video got my self a cold one
does anyone know if there is a tent like that but good for extreme winters?
Are you going to install front diff lock?
Hey Ron thanks for that reply .......have 1 more question for yah, I live in Jamaica so accessing parts kinda difficult here almost impossible unless you willing to pay an arm and a leg. Anyway question ,what is your thought on the tie down points on the front of the hilux? Do you think strong enough to be used as toe points ,based on the fact they are quite thick and welded to chassis. Your views please.
Нечего не понятно но, но очень, очень интересно;)
Do you carry any protection for a yowie attack in the middle of the night.
Just watched the shakedown vid. Given my current job, lots of travel, I am not sure how long it will be before I can get back out on the trails. As far as mods go, should I upgrade the nerf bars to rock sliders or upgrade the suspension. My truck, 2019 4Runner TRD Off Road, came with stock AT tires.
Ronny, would you option leather seats on the Hilux?
What is that box/tote bag with a clear lid and zipper?
Hey Ronny, any plans of doing a portal axle on your Luxx? Heheh go for it! Thanks! 😁
I think I’d rather just SAS it
Hi Ron!
I’m watching your channel for some time now,and I want to ask you a question,wich is totally out of the subject ...
Considering the new ULEZ regulations,what ute would you recommend for a low budget ,as a starter in this beautiful journey?
Thank you in advance for your answer!
Cornel from Liverpool,UK!
Preferably double cab Ute!
Cheers!
I did a weight budget for my 2019 Fortuner after watching this. It was based on a long over-landing trip with water, extra fuel etc. My Load Limit is 780kgs. My total planned Load weight was 1000kgs 🤯 I’m not going to be able to go for the winch, rock sliders and a couple other planned mods 😓 I see now why guys get the hilux or 70 series 😂
Hi Ronny, could you please tell me what size is your CAOS ADVENTURE SERIES CASE ?
