Hi Andrew, thanks for the plug on my business much appreciated. Loving the build so far can’t wait to see the end result.
Thanks Andrew for: "Why should I go for Amazon when I can support a lokal family"! Yyyyessss! That is, in my oppinion, a helpful hint for esp. many youngsters who even buy their catfood at Amazon only to have any poor parcel driver to carry it up to the 4th floor to them.....instead of doing it by themselves! Thank you!
Exactly.
please do a rant...we love em - the GoPro rant is needed..
I’m probably the odd one out, but love seeing how you rig up your camera kit.
For the glue if it's like the old stuff use kero and it will clean up easy as
Watching these videos is almost as much fun as doing the build on my own truck.
Really enjoying the content !
Please spellcheck your subtitles. It is ‘remuneration’ NOT ‘renumeration’! I know, I’m a pedantic prick but spelling counts.
thanks. too late to change. but it does matter!
I’m glad you are installing aluminium boxes and trays for this fit out 🎉
Andrew ,I'm excited for the 2.8 build .. And look forward to driving a 2.8 Troopy .. Take each vehicle on its individual merits .. post experience, that is !
Perhaps you think similar ....
Not to mention the same engine in a different vehicle does not make it "the same vehicle "
I never felt I needed a 2017 v8 Troopy, even after co-driving 7,000 klms in 2017 .. I feel I need the 2.8 though .. and the fuel saving,
Big country is Australia & wont become cheap to journey anytime SOON.
hey Andrew @4xoverland at 5.47 I notice a console style fridge. We are buying a (2018) 78 series (also fitting a roof top conversion) and I was told by Consoles Australia that I can't fit a console fridge as the floor pan is "too high" in the Troopy and the fridge will therefore sit too high and be unusable as an armrest. You clearly have one and it works... May I ask what brand and how you've got it set up. Is there an aftermarket console in front of it?
What about a rear vision camera that replaces the mirror? We have them in trucks and they really help. Gives us an idea of what’s behind us and a good set of mirrors do beside and behind aswel. A lot of the reverse camera /mirror replacement u can leave on all the time aswel not just when ur reversing.
Hi Andrew. While I enjoy your content, I feel that this build using "Australian" company's products is not exactly turning out that way. It tells me that there is a severe lack of well made Australian 4WD products which makes me sad. Perhaps you might be able to offer your expertise to these Aussie companies to improve their products so that you CAN, eventually, do what you started out to do with this build. Also, I'm looking forward to your Hiace build.
Why paying for amazon since you can pay double the price for people who got it from amazon. :) Andrew stop this. i can get it in open discussion live about this matter and you cannot win any day in 20 years. West is what it is because of China wonder. China is what it is because of Western buyers. Stop this "local market advertising" its misleading and hypocrite. We are buying cheap stuff for 20 years and now suddenly we care about the local market? C`mon man.
Hooray, Mission 4x4 now list the cost on their website. Thankfully common sense prevailed. Thanks for the content Andrew. Cheers
I thought you used the DJI osmo action
I would imagine the mounting location on the dash of that Sony camera would be illegal as it obstructs your view out the front of the vehicle - certainly in QLD it’s not legal to mount anything like that in the centre of your view - perhaps WA is different.
So, if you remove those two rear air vents - how does the cabin air now flow through and out of the vehicle? Have you installed replacement exit vents elsewhere?
These exist for a very necessary specific purpose.
Great !! I doubt I’d have the patience and guts to remove those factory windows. Well done Andrew !!
Yoi know, ive just got to say it , it seems like now you are flogging products yes your opinions are taken and your experience with different types of products are also taken in and appreciated but you are no longer the starter builder or to say you are now above the rest especially with products .Admittedly yes you need to make a living i get it but you are starting to lose me with the amount of products you have on your vehicle well beyond most travellers
"Flogging products"? I do not sell any products. I use products that I like. No more complex than that.
@4xoverland I do not want to offend you I honestly don't I do prefer your out thete living the life blogs especially when u have trialed a product as i've seen how many LC builds now ? it's ridiculous ,
Andrew, get yourself a set of plastic pry bars for that sort of thing, they are softer than the metal ones, and won’t damage the car
Andrew, you did a bloody good job of the glass removal🍻
That glue is a right bugger to get out of one's fur.
For interior shots, I like the Sony RX0 II. 1" sensor, 8bit :( and built in audio input! The only issue is no continuous AF. So I set focus manually. Works great with a Tentacle Sync for timecode as well.
Of course the full frame will be better, but enormous!
Love your builds, they’re the best 👌🏻
No fly screens on those gull wing windows?
Rename it to "The Troopy Channel". Seriously. You lost it, content for every overlander went out of your hands.
If for you overlanding is only about the truck and nothing but the truck, then I concede. Although. I also drive a Range Rover and am taking a Hiace and converting it to 4wd. So, not all Troopys as it turns out.
Regarding Bus 4 x 4.
I can for the life of me, not imagine that Toyota HQ have not. Or will not, take note of this momentous success, of 4x conversions. Or, that they will be sufficiently stupid not to follow suit. And, even attempt to do the work as thoroughly. And as professionally. Corporately. As the present coming out of Rocklea !!!
Love the build. Don't listen to all the hate. A good improvement on all accounts. Perfecting a platform is something to admire.
The go pro thing, yeah go pro are bad in low light but your comparison is to a$6000-$8000 Sony set ( surprise it’s better)of coarse a full frame is better. This is show how out of touch you are.
And this goes back to you begging for money of patron. Yet in the same sentence after the go pro you commented on about $10000 dollars of the 2 cameras we see, the troopy build you have going on in Africa, the troopy build you have going on in Perth, whilst still driving around in a $180k troopy build. So yeah I’m a viewer of yours and do respect your game but it does come off abit snobbish mate.
I recently purchased a 2023 v8 79 have the tray from Norweld and that’s already $100k and it’s still looks stock. My point being, this was meant to be you build for a average joe, and mate you not a average joe, it’s still a build by someone who has massively deep pockets and and has resources to just going spend tens of thousands at a drop of a hat. Sorry just my opinion of how I see it
Rant over
Andrew, you weren't ranting about GoPros at all. Whilst they have improved their low light abilities, they are as you accurately described them. Of course, they are a good product, but with a very specific usage. You are far better off with the choice of cameras that you have made, as you know very well of course.
My guess for the roof top conversion is it's from Headspace Campers. I'm a fan of RAM Mounts.. And combined with Seasuckers, they're the only mounts that haven't vibrated loose when I'm offroad.
Well, the Sony should be better - Massive price difference between a A7S3 and a GoPro
Hi! Any 100 series land cruiser gull wing provider available in Europe you might know, please?
Saw you driving through Canningvale today, Sorry for not leaving you to much room for you to squeeze past the truck bed while at the lights. The rig is looking good.
Every woman knows, that the sentence “I go for a short thing in the Garage/workshop” means that they will not see you again on this day 😊
Gosh steelarmstrong! His build is very important. When loaded and doing the trips Andrew does, i am confident that we will get genuine feedback on the good the bad and the ugly in the new 2.8. I kinda feel (as a landcruiser enthusiast), that ive pushed Andrew out into the rain to go and get the mail on this product. This will represent whether i ever buy another cruiser or be content with my Hilux (and my lovely fj45)… Andrews opinions are not tarnished by the manufacturer and from memory has trodden on toes by being frank and transparent. So, id sit back relax and dont get your knickers in a twist
Is there any reason why you can't go solid lift up panels, not see through, and upgrade your mirror to compensate. My old 75s and my 79 series utes always have solid canopies, leaving vision to the front doors and mirros, essentially the same vision as a troopy with blocked out rear glass. 26 years of landcruiser utes with no traffic issues.
These build videos are great, thank you for posting them. What would be good is for the average Joe is if you could give a run down of costs if you had to buy all the mods. Giving people an idea what it would cost to do something similar.
Ive learned alot just from watching your channel so thank you. Do you ever worry about theft when you go into town with your troopies? And what is you're favorite year and model troopy? Thank you for everything
Enjoy your content except your plug of the PVS head unit. I purchased this unit from your plug, I even got the same inserts for the badge …I hate this unit. And hate is a strong word. But I hate it, and I hate the steering wheel. Loathe it. It will die a slow painful death. Other than that keep it up. I do like your videos. Just being honest. Cheers from central qld. 🍻
Like the honesty. I loved my steering wheel. As I said. As for the head unit, its passable and I had one replaced because the CarPlay Interface was very poor. New one was better. I learned to live with it, but didn't love it.
@@4xoverlandwhat was your replacement head unit? PVS sent me not the whole steering wheel but the inserts. My god they are foul. I can see the frame of the steering wheel through the material. Absolutely disgusting. I agree with the CarPlay as well as the poor attempt of a CPU setup. I’m not bad with technology but I cannot for the life of me get the thing to operate efficiently. The idea is grand the delivery is far less. Live and learn I guess.
Andrew, yes that glue and muck they use under rubbers, take a lot of slow arduous work with white spirit, kerosene and metho to remove from car and make sure you have plenty of black silicone gloves to protect yourself 😂
We had crap everywhere on the 200 and we were being so cautious.
Cannot wait to see this build …. You choice is always practical and worthy!
❤️❤️
Why do you do this to us ? You know full well all of us would have loved to hear an in-depth rant about GoPros
awesome and outstanding as always.enjoying the build series.thanks for sharing and taking us along.
Wish you had shown the installation, like the glue, how you prepared the surface and putting it in.
nice love the troopy , but we cant have them in the U.S we have no good wagons or vans to build out a overland kit
Hi Andrew, great info as usual, can you show the centre console fridge install please
I have had Troopies since the 1990's and what is needed is a hatch on the passenger's side to gain access to gear.
Do you ever get pinged by the police for ubstucking your view
Kero will clean the mastic off the paint without any problems
I agree on action cameras - no amount of in-camera software trickery can bridge the gap between a 34.65 mm2 sensor and a 864 mm2 full frame sensor. Add on the quality of the lenses, the raw image quality and the accessories to aid in professional looking shots and I reckon a DSLR is still the clear winner to produce top-quality video that you'll always be proud of.
Why did you convert the front windows to gullwing and not the rear or both?
I will be changing one of the back windows to gull wing. but not both. I learned why that's not the best idea. Keep watching.
New holland is australia's
No other mounts but RAM mounts!
Are you setting your cameras to the base iso? That way you’ll get a lot less grain in low light.
I understand very clearly the function of base ISOs. They help. But all actions cams stink in low light when compared with large sensor cameras, especially the Sony sensors.
08:35 I appreciate the honesty
I'm curious to know what the primary benefits of the gull wing windows are over Aussie builds. Suspect you won't enhance but would be good to know why, hence we can make an informed decision also.
Troopy's biggest drawback is poor access when camping, as we do in Australia and South Africa, outside more than inside the vehicle. Done well, gull wings solve this issue.
@@4xoverland thanks for response, I did realise the benefit of gull wings, but why imported ones.
What the primary benefits.
I actually thought the clamped frame type units in your previous video were pretty good, why the imported ones.
Sorry, realise my query didn't cover that well.
Hi , I’d be interested to see what your thoughts on a Insta 360 Ace pro would be, compared with the GoPro 12 .
I'm done with action cameras in all but in locations where other cameras do not work. Their image quality, especially in low light, sucks. Even at 50fps the GoPro 12 frame blur sucks. As for the user interface, GoPro is the worst of all and always has been. As for skin tones, DJI is awful. Insta looks interesting but is probably not much better.
@@4xoverland thanks for the reply, I have experience with multiple GoPro’s some work faultlessly and some are overheating nightmares , I do believe the new 360 Ace pro isn’t having any problems, but I don’t have the funds to risk on an experiment.
Another thing that's not Australian in the Australian build troopy.
Turns out, more difficult than I thought. Being Australian doesn't automatically make it good. Nobody in Aus, IMO, makes a decent glass gull wing.
Fair point. However if you just choose the best of the best it will just be the same as your other builds. No one wants a rubbish product that might fail, but there is a balance somewhere.
Great content as always
I thought this build would be using local affordable parts? I think most of us can't afford a 200k car as we don't get all the handouts.
You thought/heard wrong. I make no excuses that I have a great job.
My V8 rants are clearly not a waste of time - and you are proof of that. They stir up discussion. Job well done!
You just contradicted yourself. If standard they are 200hp, then at 600hp they would be tuned. Not de-tuned. "People know". No mate. "I think!" Understand the difference.
@@4xoverland when is the HiAce build starting? Looking forward to that.
very, very soon
You stated a few months ago that this build was “ a celebration of the Australian 4wd industry “ and that you were going to use Aussie products where possible, yet time and time again you have used products from overseas when there are perfectly good Aussie products you could have used
history lesson HOLLAND Exist not !!!! is the NETHERLANDS now!!!!! after napoleon Bonapart when to prison after losing the European war in 1795 Holland was split up in 2 country's the Netherlands and Belgium what means were is holland are you really 230+ year old that you were in Holland
Holland is and area inside the Netherlands.
I don't think that's entirely the full story. Holland as we know it today is a region / province within the Netherlands, being North Holland and South Holland. Furthermore it was only in 2020 the informal use of "Holland" to mean the entire country was officially stopped! I have friends who, to this day, are Hollanders and say they come from Holland when asked!
Congratulations for teaching me something and then being an arse. You know I'm not 230 years old. Clearly I do not know as much as you do about European history. But I know more about manners.
@@4xoverland i am a dutch history professor and talked a few times with you perth when you sent people to a company TRY to use the rigth country !! What is maybe in the right country life is simple do not make it arrogant !!
If you met me, you would not talk to my face like you are doing now. You are an ill-mannered man and your comments are rendered valueless by your attitude. Now go and learn some manners.
This build purely must be a comparison from the V8 troopy to the 2.8ltr, I mean come on its already been done, you could of taken a bog stock V8 and a 2.8 and compare it has nothing to do with the build....Wether it can handle the weight I honestly don't know what this build is supposed to prove other then product slamming because there is absolutely no difference in builds other then some improvements in products not the actual vehicle....Yes you have proved your the troopy king when it comes to packing them right up using every bit of space but again this news is old you been there and dragged us all through every single build....I put it to you to put us straight that your are in fact a overlander builder of 4x4s otherwise you need a new theme and intro the troopy king not overlander builder....do another platform next build let's see what your vision your products your ability, what you can do over the same old same old....i admit i done this comment without even watching the video ill wait till i see a notice hopefully one day you exploring outside your comfort zone with a new platform.
Dude, go elsewhere then, he can do whatever he want, it his car, his channel, his money.
I didn't read it all, and won't. But all that and you are still here. I must ask: Why?
"dragged us all through every single build" - what on earth are you doing on this guys channel?? unbelievable comment
Dont like it, dont watch it.
I read about 2 lines of this crap comment. Save us all your opinions, unsubscribe, and go elsewhere..
Hi Andrew you ever been overlanding in Argentina been following bluelandy and it looks epic mate
