We started out 20 years ago with a swag on the ground, one fry pan and probably too much alcohol, now we have a van we love and a Toyota Prado that does everything we ask of it. Travelling 8 months of the year. Happy days ❤️
When it’s your full-time life, and job, it’s easily justified. No such thing as perfect, just perfect for your situation. Gets you where you need to go, with what you need to carry, comfortably and safely. 👍
I love how you have set the car up for your needs and the type of driving/ touring that you and your family do. You explained you still have the factory Toyota bash plates and didn’t opt for the top of the range clear view mirrors. I’m sure you could’ve got your hands on these items through sponsors etc but it really shows the quality and purpose of the landcruiser build. I far enjoyed watching this rather than a hotted up 79 series that has had all top shelf items fitted just because it can. Keep up with the quality content👌🏻
With your Diesel Mechanic background, you bring an authenticity in showing us the important stuff, the stuff that matters without all the bells and whistles (and waste).
Hav a Chat Justin!, WOW! That was the BEST build info I’ve ever seen presented, you are the only guy that is upfront about the price, every other build series blog make you hang out until the end… what a great open and honest presenter you are Justin. Congratulations on your past successes and hope with your big 2022 coming up for you that it continues for you and Bec and family. Cheers Dav T
We have our ultimate touring rig! Our LC 200 series is the bomb! Tows our camper well. One day we will upgrade to a full van but until then, I continue to dream!
Brilliant and thorough video. Gave me tons of great ideas in case I ever have enough money to do something similar. I am amazed at how much detail you remember about your upgrades but most of all I appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge since you live and breathe this stuff. Thanks Justin.
That is a great van. We can't wait to see how it performs. I love watching your episodes because you explain things so well. Have loved watching your family grow & develop in confidence. Really looking forward to your next trip. Thanks so much for taking us along. 😀
We have a 200 series and it’s the husbands dream to do the chop with a full canopy set up, fridge, coffee machine, beer keg, cooktop! The absolute dream!
My dream touring rig is the rig I already have 2011 gu patrol with bush company RTT and simple rear draw set up , gets me everywhere I need to go, comfortable to live out of and not bad on the eye 😆 4 years ago it was my dream car and even though it will never be finished with mods I absolutely love it !
Persistence was key for my hubby. After many years begging and dreaming. I gave him the green light to get his dream car. A mighty 200. No regrets - they are a game changer.
Ultimate touring build is the one we're using right now. 80 series LandCruiser. 💪 Carries 85l of water, two bikes, toolbox and solar panel on roof and tows our caravan for full time living in the road. It takes us EVERYWHERE!!!
My current GU patrol! 200hp 600nm td42t, black label storage solution drawers in the back, towing our camper trailer! We came and said hi you to yesterday in Harvey Norman car park in Karratha!
Couldn't even begin to think about hubby's next ultimate touring build, spending time and money on getting his 100 series to were he'd be content 🙄 Not that I'd ever say it out aloud, I like what he has done 😉
Mate that was an epic review! I love the honesty and the depth you went into about your parts. Plus mate gotta say that final clip about the DIY dash had me in stitches!
Been watching your channel for a since nearly the start, from tent, camper and now new van comming in mid jan, cost me a kidney and liver but cant wait to get out and use the crap out of it, cheers for keeping it real
Our dream build would be a chopped 200 series with a full canopy set up on the back including upright fridge, induction cooktop and enough weight allowance to pack all the kids (& dads) toys! We’ve ordered our dream van so now just working out the costs and needs vs wants on the tow rig!! Thanks again for the inspiration to get out there and see this amazing country!!
Our ultimate touring rig would be a chopped 200 series but for now we make do with our older 80 series - we have a young family and have just bought our first secondhand van six months ago! We are so excited to start getting out and about more, we have loved it so far. Thanks for the motivation from your videos, we watch them as a family most nights and our toddler can’t get enough - so inspiring! 😀
Definitely a 200 for our family would be the dream, full set up. Recently we have done a 40 series up and plan on having the full set up once sparky do their work. roof top tent, slide fridge, big tool box all the conversions for the best parents get away.
The ultimate build with no limit would be a chopped 200 with decked out canopy but I would like to deck out my current SR Hilux that would do me and my kids to travel.
I agree Kelly. The dream rig. But I’m the meantime the SR Hilux is a good vehicle. I’m slowly working through setting mine up too. Got some more great ideas from the Trip in a van crew. Keep up the great work Team TIAV. 👌🏻👍🏻
Husband would LOVE a fully kitted out F250, with our (currently being built) Jayco Basestation on the back 👌🏼 Me, I’m happy with our current Patrol- hasn’t skipped a beat!!
200 series, but wasn’t willing to pay COVID price for one, so we’ve purchased a new Prado. Kids have grown up so it’s only the two us now. Ordered May for delivery January. As much as it sucked waiting this long it’s given me time to research and purchase all the goodies to be installed.
Good honest review mate, i appreciate how you can explain the things you didn’t need. A lot of the 200 reviews have all the fruit and its hard to know what is necessary and what is not
Absolutely love watching you guys. I'm building my new 2021 navara up to be a family tourer for a young family my partner and I are dreaming of. Been trying to find a good size bag that fit on the tyre and the new navigator bin bag would be perfect! Thank you for all the inspiration over the years.
Really excited to see if the RIVIAN full electric lives up to the hype. Currently it is only just rolling out of the factory but is likely to be here 2023 Big towing capabilities and designed for real off road. That’s my current dream rig with all its bells and whistles
Mate!! The chopped LC200 VX is my dream rig. I would have a little rooftop tent on top, a pretty big water storage tank and plumbed to a sink and external shower rose. I would be maxed out on solar and battery power systems, inverter etc.. A nice big upright 12v fridge, pull out tables, 270 degree awning and external and internal white and yellow lights. Some beaut fishing equipment storage, an inflatable kayak and the hubby! Hook up to my sweet caravan and drive off into the sunset! Might as well dream big 😎
I’d absolutely love to build a Tundra brought in from the states. Always loved a Toyota and I reckon they look unreal and have some great numbers off the shelf. My ultimate rig decked out with a canopy and the works for sure! 🤙🏻
Chopped 200 series would be the absolute dream🤤 pretty much exactly what you guys have 👌…. but I’ll have to settle for a hilux and just a pop up van for now!
Pretty sure my husband was barring up over everything you just went over on your car..... his ultimate dream car. Thanks for sharing Justin! Would love to surprise him with the Navigator gear bag for Xmas... giddy up 🤟
We have just purchased a Ram warlock and waiting on our new age caravan to arrive early next year plan to do our first big trip in 2023 so will be getting car Ans van set up for it.
Without a doubt a Toyota Landcruiser chopped. Hubby and I have only ever bought Toyota vehicles, so it’s a no brainer. Oh my goodness..it would be a dream!
I’ve set up a 79 series one of the most important things is a good canopy set up with all the essentials (big fridge and coffee machine) Thanks for another great episode
We hit the road 5months ago. Sold our house, paid debts and hit the road in a little Avan camper. We could definitely use an updated 12volt to the camper. The Ranger build is a beast but heavy. In hindsight we may consider the drawer system canopy build. We could definitely use a wheel cover bag! We don’t have one for the Ranger. Love your vids guys 👍 Keep it coming.
Our ideal setup is basically the same as yours. Pro Concept chopped 200, Sunseeker van. Except our van is a club lounge layout so I can get a break from hubby…. 😉 It’s all being built at the moment. So excited!
We got a Pro Touring built 200 chop without a canopy a month or two before yours - 70,000Km on it now. I agree, the GXL audio/nav system sucks and I wish I'd upgraded it straight up. We added a Kenwood DMX9720XDS 10.1'' Multimedia Receiver (after a false start with a cheaper unit) and it's all plug n play with the right add ons. Apple carplay/Android auto and it works a treat. Can't recommend this enough.
Thanks Justin, excellent rundown. Given me a couple of ideas of "must dos " for my cruiser. Not chopped, but we are full time towing a heavy van. Cheers.
Omg we need this! We have just started our lap and as much as I love our Jeep, if we could have anything, ie money not being an issue, we would love to build a chopped 200! It would be hubby's dream come true! Love you guys, thanks for inspiring us to live the travelling life. ❤
Heaps of info in the episode I think I’m going to have to watch a couple of times just to take it all in. So much interesting work that has been done to the conversion.
Ultimate touring building would definitely be a 76 series with bush company roof top tent, 270 awning and simple slide out kitchen set up. Something that is practical, simple and just works. Its the dream for sure! Love you guys, keep up the awesome content 😁
We have our ultimate touring rig on order :) Dual cab 79 series.! We get her in April then it’s time to hit the road with the wife and 2 kids. Can not wait!
Thoroughly enjoyed this vid. Thanks Justin. Such an in depth look at what suits YOU for YOUR life. And the general information, tips, tricks and opinions. Awesome.
We are just starting to set up our canopy. We got it last Friday MW from ARB. Love your setup. We are only running a a ranger but so excited to hit the road to TAS for 5 weeks in 7 days yew
Hubbys 79 series is awesome with loads of bells and whistles which I can’t explain 🤣 but for a bit more room for our 2 growing boys we would love a chopped 200 series.
Cruiser with an off-road camper… canopy on the cruiser so we can enjoy days out without the van wherever we choose to go! We are doing this now, just need another canopy for the cruiser!!
Fantastic truck Justin you have done a great job on it 👍 looks smicko I will have to settle for my 80 series just updated my 12 volt system yours puts mine to shame keep the vids coming along great work guys
Ultimate rig for us would be a 200 series with fully decked out canopy and a full offroad Lotus trooper caravan... plus maybe a rooftop tent for out of the way camping and of course the dinghy 😍
My Ultimate tour rig is my 2007 Land Rover defender 130 Ute, witch I am in the process of restoring her to tour worthy status! And hopefully should be chasing those sunrise’s and sunset’s around Australia very soon! 🤙🏽
Bloody sic setup pilgrim!!! My 200 is a V8 petrol GXL towing a 22 ft caravan, I also have a torque converter lock up 💪 they are 300 hp standard, so with a few upgrades you couldn’t go past a 200 for power/ comfort and towing, I’m stoked so I can only imagine how your rig is to use 😎 great video once again thanks Justin . good gear buy once and you save money ,,,,screens are available just to fit factory plugs and inter grate your a/c control to full touch screen they do look good 👍🏻
The ultimate rig would have to be a Chevrolet truck canopy The lot with our awesome trail Caravan on the back with the three kids traveling around Australia and living our dream. This is our plan but at the moment we have a sick ranger and if we did we would make it into a 6x6 wheel drive canopy canopy all decked out. So one day this will all happen until then we watch ur adventures and plan, save and we will be out there!
Enjoyed watching this vid! didn’t realize you hated that head unit - it was like you thought of everything except the head unit, look forward to the head unit DIY replacement video :)
@@TripInAVan Going today to check out the 300 series but they still have to prove if they can tow. Hope to see you and your family on the road one day.
Great set up. Eell done. It's amhow prices have changed because of the vid. Our Expedition rig build is exciting. Like to see the difference between here in the USA, Australia, and Europe. Thanks Mate for sharing 👍
I still blame you (lol) for getting me into a Norweld Canopy after I saw the old Mazda getting one fitted. Best mod I ever did, canopy is a game changer for touring, and a fantastic bit of kit👍👍👍
Great info mate as usual. The Rig is awesome definitely a dream vehicle for most Cheers for the contact info will come in handy as doing a build next year for full time touring.
Mate you are a champion. Not only does our whole family love the show.. but this is the first car special that I've actually loved. Out of all the camping, RUclips shows we watch, I actually loved this ep mate. Brilliant. It's set up soo good. You're a man after me heart! The missus loves your merch and your missus book etc. We just love everything you guys are putting out mate. Hey when you say 360 odd K, is that for the entire set up Inc. the van and tinny etc, or just the ute set up?
Can’t believe you have had it for 18 months already. For us white with black trim 200 & van, with option to unhitch and travel with kids just in 200 for those remote spots.
Got a Ford Ranger that I’ll be slowly building up as tourer as i can afford to continue my adventures around Australia in a bit more comfort than the old VW Transporter! Love the vids keep em up 🤙
Hey Justin, Merry Christmas to you and your family. Yesterday I received the Xmas present I ordered for my Chevy after watching this video.....a brand new CRX110 fridge. This replaces the 55 litre Engel upright I've been using for years. The Dometic just squeezes in (height wise) and I'd like to thank you for the tip about lifting the bottom shelf.....24 cans successfully loaded! Dunno if I'll be able to bring myself to screwing stuff to the door, but if it works for you...why not!! All the best for 2022.
We started out 20 years ago with a swag on the ground, one fry pan and probably too much alcohol, now we have a van we love and a Toyota Prado that does everything we ask of it. Travelling 8 months of the year. Happy days ❤️
When it’s your full-time life, and job, it’s easily justified. No such thing as perfect, just perfect for your situation. Gets you where you need to go, with what you need to carry, comfortably and safely. 👍
Would definitely have to be a 200 series with no limits on cash Happy with what we have now, but one day
I love how you have set the car up for your needs and the type of driving/ touring that you and your family do. You explained you still have the factory Toyota bash plates and didn’t opt for the top of the range clear view mirrors. I’m sure you could’ve got your hands on these items through sponsors etc but it really shows the quality and purpose of the landcruiser build.

what you paid isn't a cost, it was an investment in making memories with your family that you simply cant put a price on.
That is a great van. We can't wait to see how it performs. I love watching your episodes because you explain things so well.
Have loved watching your family grow & develop in confidence. Really looking forward to your next trip. Thanks so much for taking us along. 😀

Ram 1500 is my dream touring vehicle all decked with canopy and draw storage, water, and power so we can go off grid 🙌🏼
Persistence was key for my hubby. After many years begging and dreaming. I gave him the green light to get his dream car. A mighty 200. No regrets - they are a game changer.
So good
We are going to be travelling with a 2021 Ranger. Ultimate rig for sure would have to be a 200 series ✌️
Ultimate touring build is the one we're using right now.
80 series LandCruiser. 💪
Carries 85l of water, two bikes, toolbox and solar panel on roof and tows our caravan for full time living in the road. It takes us EVERYWHERE!!!
Love a decked out 80💪
I think your 200 and van set up is the ultimate bench mark for set up, full off grid living without worry is the ultimate set up for me
My current GU patrol! 200hp 600nm td42t, black label storage solution drawers in the back, towing our camper trailer!
We came and said hi you to yesterday in Harvey Norman car park in Karratha!
We would love a 79 series to explore Australia on our continuing journey. But wouldn't say no to a chopped 200 Series either!!! 😉
Couldn't even begin to think about hubby's next ultimate touring build, spending time and money on getting his 100 series to were he'd be content 🙄
Not that I'd ever say it out aloud, I like what he has done 😉
We’d love to build a 200 series and set off for a year or so. Something like your rig would be an absolute dream.
Great vid!
Thanks mate
Mate that was an epic review! I love the honesty and the depth you went into about your parts. Plus mate gotta say that final clip about the DIY dash had me in stitches!
😂😂 here’s hoping someone helps me out
Dream rig is a 200 series with the full rear wagon setup & towing a big boat! Still have the mighty 90 series prado going strong currently!
you have made some quality vids in the past. but this, arguably one of the most informative and detailed vids you have done. congrats
Just finished my 200 series and now we’re ready to hit the road full time
Just got the van… getting it set up for a trip around in a year or two 😊 love keeping up with your fam and the travels!!

Big towing capabilities and designed for real off road.
That’s my current dream rig with all its bells and whistles
Keen to check them out
The range isn’t enough for long range touring but it looks like a killer weekender if it lives up to the hype.
Mate!! The chopped LC200 VX is my dream rig. I would have a little rooftop tent on top, a pretty big water storage tank and plumbed to a sink and external shower rose. I would be maxed out on solar and battery power systems, inverter etc.. A nice big upright 12v fridge, pull out tables, 270 degree awning and external and internal white and yellow lights. Some beaut fishing equipment storage, an inflatable kayak and the hubby! Hook up to my sweet caravan and drive off into the sunset! Might as well dream big 😎
Sounds perfect
Absolutely a 200 we have started building our touring machine 👌👌
I’d absolutely love to build a Tundra brought in from the states. Always loved a Toyota and I reckon they look unreal and have some great numbers off the shelf. My ultimate rig decked out with a canopy and the works for sure! 🤙🏻
Chopped 200 series would be the absolute dream🤤 pretty much exactly what you guys have 👌…. but I’ll have to settle for a hilux and just a pop up van for now!
Ultimate touring rig would be a chopped 200 series. We are looking to head on a trip next year so looking around for something at the moment.
Chopped 200 series landcruiser! Ultimate touring rig hands down
Ultimate touring build? Anything that gets us out there.
I’d build a RAM 1500 with a tray and canopy setup, just simply love them with the engine and overall badass look!
What is it like on fuel
I have a 2500 with a GCI Traytec canopy. Now having to do a GVM upgrade to 5670Kg so I can regain payload and tow my van.
@@PhilShenton thank mate
@@daviddawson2411
When your buying one of them, you don't worry about fuel.
Pretty sure my husband was barring up over everything you just went over on your car..... his ultimate dream car. Thanks for sharing Justin!
Would love to surprise him with the Navigator gear bag for Xmas... giddy up 🤟
Ultimate tour build is what I'm currently setting up. Sahara with 8 seats (I've got 5kids) and 7 berth Van. Can't wait!!! Yew!
Land Rover Defender (diesel) - one on order! Can’t bloody wait to hit the road with that beast. 🤩
You're a good yapper Justin! 😂
Full of info and no fumbling with your words.
You really love your car... And why wouldn't you, she's gorgeous 😍
Thanks mate
You're a bloody legend mate! Livin your best life. My dream setup right there. Love the content
Cheers
We would definitely love to build a 200 series chopped with a canopy! Love your setup!
We have just purchased a Ram warlock and waiting on our new age caravan to arrive early next year plan to do our first big trip in 2023 so will be getting car Ans van set up for it.
Justin thanks for the rundown video & interesting comments about the Coopers 👍👍👍
Cheers mate
Without a doubt a Toyota Landcruiser chopped. Hubby and I have only ever bought Toyota vehicles, so it’s a no brainer. Oh my goodness..it would be a dream!
I’ve set up a 79 series one of the most important things is a good canopy set up with all the essentials (big fridge and coffee machine)
Thanks for another great episode
dual cab chopped 80series 300mm chassis extention tray and canopy and 1vd swap, the best of everything!!
love the vids guys.

Thanks Justin, excellent rundown. Given me a couple of ideas of "must dos " for my cruiser. Not chopped, but we are full time towing a heavy van. Cheers.
Modified 200 series…..and a tinny
Thanks for your video it makes it so much easier when modifying
Glad it helped

Love you guys, thanks for inspiring us to live the travelling life. ❤
I’m just a kid and I’m saving for a rig like yours
Heaps of info in the episode I think I’m going to have to watch a couple of times just to take it all in. So much interesting work that has been done to the conversion.
just came across you guys and I'm loving it!! Just bought a van, now to kit out my rig, you're an inspiration bud, cheers.
My ultimate van would be a everyday vehicle so spontaneous trips are always on but also include all the luxuries for an extended trip
Nice run through Justo! honest, true and no BS. Yeah the mud tyres? but hey, they do look cool! Looking forward to next years adventures man!
Bad move with the muddies 😂😂
Ultimate touring building would definitely be a 76 series with bush company roof top tent, 270 awning and simple slide out kitchen set up. Something that is practical, simple and just works. Its the dream for sure! Love you guys, keep up the awesome content 😁

Awesome guys! So exciting
We are just starting to set up our canopy. We got it last Friday MW from ARB. Love your setup. We are only running a a ranger but so excited to hit the road to TAS for 5 weeks in 7 days yew
Exciting stuff
A 200 series would probably be the dream rig for us to deck out
Hubbys 79 series is awesome with loads of bells and whistles which I can’t explain 🤣 but for a bit more room for our 2 growing boys we would love a chopped 200 series.
Cruiser with an off-road camper… canopy on the cruiser so we can enjoy days out without the van wherever we choose to go! We are doing this now, just need another canopy for the cruiser!!
Ultimate touring rig for me is my y62. I love it. All I need now is a bag for the back of the caravan
Fantastic truck Justin you have done a great job on it 👍 looks smicko I will have to settle for my 80 series just updated my 12 volt system yours puts mine to shame keep the vids coming along great work guys
Ultimate rig for us would be a 200 series with fully decked out canopy and a full offroad Lotus trooper caravan... plus maybe a rooftop tent for out of the way camping and of course the dinghy 😍

Building my dream touring vehicle now. 76 series Land cruiser. The kids love it! The wife…..she thinks it’s ok. 🤷🏼♂️
Bloody sic setup pilgrim!!! My 200 is a V8 petrol GXL towing a 22 ft caravan, I also have a torque converter lock up 💪 they are 300 hp standard, so with a few upgrades you couldn’t go past a 200 for power/ comfort and towing, I’m stoked so I can only imagine how your rig is to use 😎 great video once again thanks Justin . good gear buy once and you save money ,,,,screens are available just to fit factory plugs and inter grate your a/c control to full touch screen they do look good 👍🏻
We have a 200, love it! Super comfy ride! We would love to chop it, but it’s great to have our 3 boys seperated!
The ultimate rig would have to be a Chevrolet truck canopy The lot with our awesome trail Caravan on the back with the three kids traveling around Australia and living our dream. This is our plan but at the moment we have a sick ranger and if we did we would make it into a 6x6 wheel drive canopy canopy all decked out. So one day this will all happen until then we watch ur adventures and plan, save and we will be out there!
Cheers guys
Enjoyed watching this vid! didn’t realize you hated that head unit - it was like you thought of everything except the head unit, look forward to the head unit DIY replacement video :)

Enjoyed the LC 200 video well done and I'm an owner of a 2019 200 series VX and its a great machine and its only travelled 12500 Kms.
Ya wanna sell it??😂
@@TripInAVan Going today to check out the 300 series but they still have to prove if they can tow. Hope to see you and your family on the road one day.
Toyota Prado, lift kits, air bag suspension GVM upgrade. I would love all the accessories you guys have, Inspirational!!!
Great set up. Eell done. It's amhow prices have changed because of the vid. Our Expedition rig build is exciting. Like to see the difference between here in the USA, Australia, and Europe. Thanks Mate for sharing 👍
We are currently building a Y62 patrol as our full time tourer. Can’t wait to set off next year with the fam!
I still blame you (lol) for getting me into a Norweld Canopy after I saw the old Mazda getting one fitted. Best mod I ever did, canopy is a game changer for touring, and a fantastic bit of kit👍👍👍
Great info mate as usual. The Rig is awesome definitely a dream vehicle for most Cheers for the contact info will come in handy as doing a build next year for full time touring.
Cheers mate, glad we can help
The same rig you are driving.. perfect
Yours! 😝🙌🏼🙌🏼 Thanks for all the inspiration guys. We ordered a Sunseeker after binge watching all your vids ☺️
Mate you are a champion. Not only does our whole family love the show.. but this is the first car special that I've actually loved. Out of all the camping, RUclips shows we watch, I actually loved this ep mate. Brilliant. It's set up soo good. You're a man after me heart! The missus loves your merch and your missus book etc. We just love everything you guys are putting out mate. Hey when you say 360 odd K, is that for the entire set up Inc. the van and tinny etc, or just the ute set up?
The whole lot mate yeah
Thanks heaps for your support
@@TripInAVan sorry mate I meant 230 odd K!
Can’t believe you have had it for 18 months already. For us white with black trim 200 & van, with option to unhitch and travel with kids just in 200 for those remote spots.
Got a Ford Ranger that I’ll be slowly building up as tourer as i can afford to continue my adventures around Australia in a bit more comfort than the old VW Transporter! Love the vids keep em up 🤙
I'll go with a 75/155 nps isuzu seen crew with one out at 14 mile last week and feel in love
You know he’s a true Aussie when he says age in every sentence
Hey Justin, Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Yesterday I received the Xmas present I ordered for my Chevy after watching this video.....a brand new CRX110 fridge. This replaces the 55 litre Engel upright I've been using for years.
The Dometic just squeezes in (height wise) and I'd like to thank you for the tip about lifting the bottom shelf.....24 cans successfully loaded!
Dunno if I'll be able to bring myself to screwing stuff to the door, but if it works for you...why not!!
All the best for 2022.
Our Titanium Van will be built 2023, so we are looking at getting a RAM ♥ and considering EC Offroad to do the canopy 👍
