    I felt exactly like you, Matt, I felt sad watching the video. You just know that this guy had so much fun outfitting his car, thinking about the details, being meticulous in documenting maintenance. And then he just passes. That’s sad.
    I hope he had many good experiences with it and that he enjoyed driving it, keeping it tidy and installing stuff. No one will appreciate what you did to your car more than yourself.

      Was a bittersweet video to watch as someone with a kitted out D40 Navara, though not to this extent. I can appreciate, at least somewhat, how the previous owner thought about their vehicle and the experiences they've had.

    I can indeed confirm that was a fold up shovel…useful on an expedition. I was given one as a Christmas present a couple of years ago…now, bearing in mind I’m approaching 70…I drive an old Toyota Avensis and rarely venture beyond the local shops my use for it was always going to be limited…but the joyful surprise I mustered on being given it was worthy of an Oscar and although this reaction was an act it was an act of love. ❤️

    6:51 ~ That's a really good tea kettle, Matt. That's usually made out of Titanium. But can be found made from basic aluminum too.
    8:02 ~ That is a folding entrenching tool. Copy of the Gerber design that used to be (perhaps still is) standard-issue in the U.S. Army. Campers often use one to dig temporary trenches for use as an improvised bathroom (not for urine). Then they fill in the trenches with dirt afterwards, to bury their "business." Using one is easy. Don't extend it all the way. Just mostly so. Keep the head at a 90-degree angle pointed down. Stand with feet wide apart. Bend at the waist. 2-hand hold on the horizontal handle. Slam the tip of the head into the dirt as hard as you can, then pull back towards you to create the deep trench.
    What to do with it? Another vote for donating it to your Ukrainian friend. I'm sure he'll be happy to take it off your hands. Even if he has to tow it to where it needs to go before getting shipped over. Hopefully it survives longer than that Mitsubishi SUV you donated.

    Oh Matt, 😂here in Australia the word To Root or Rooting has a totally different meaning the little gauge you didn’t know was a auxiliary battery volt meter and a fold up spade is a must in Aussie 4x4s

    Great presenting / commentary Matt as always, always watchable videos even if the subject car is a Nissan but tbh Matt I would always prefer to stare at the car that you drive to the car park usually. One of your stunning JLRs like your Rangie or your XKR 👌😇

    Feel like I’ve just watched storage hunters on wheels, specifically the bit when they go through everything in the lot that they’ve bought to decipher if it’s gold or just old 😂

    Definitely would've had more value to it in my opinion if it was a crew cab (4dr). I really don't comment much but love your cheap content Matt, I can definitely see the effort put into them.
    I can only assume you've massively overspent on this as a project to give to someone, so that it can endure a longer adventure, and visit new places.

    Fun fact - the D22 continued to be produced here in South Africa until about 2 or 3 years ago. Remained very popular due to their toughness and relatively low cost. They were upgraded with the newer YD25 turbo diesel engines from later Navaras, but were known locally simply as the “Hardbody”. That hardbody, so to speak, was probably the reason for them being discontinued. About four years back, some safety oversight body crash tested them against the latest modern standards, and gave them a zero safety rating. Apparently, the people inside became the crumple zones.

    1:39 same with the 2nd generation models. In North America they kept that one until 2021 before replacing it with the 3rd generation which is completely different from the current Navara.

    I think the collapsible Spade if for when you have the "Call Of Nature" while camping off grid.

    That collapsible spade is also your toilet maker if you see what I mean.
    My first thoughts were rust - of that era these rotted spectacularly behind the cab in the chassis where they can almost snap in half.
