    This is simply brilliant! Thank you for this series! Firstly, it introduces the owner, his story, vision, passions, and needs. Plus, it goes a bit behind the scenes of your own channel, so to say. Secondly, lightweight concept in its proper sense. Maybe it's just my selection and/or youtube algorithms, but for my taste there are too many "perfect"/ "lightweight" builds, even from acclaimed overlanders/travelers, which are too complicated and heavily modified with form leading the function. Can't wait for the next episode

I will be kitting out the Prado with Bull bar, dual batteries, tow bar and single drawer and fridge storage system. Will be towing a boat regularly and in future a 2000-2500kg caravan. I was thinking GVM upgrade but I have been put off as too much wear and tear to other parts of vehicle. will a suspension lift and spring upgrade 100kg front and 300kg rear be better purposed and just be careful to not overload?
