I wish more people would make videos of their builds like this. 3 hours watching and im not even a mechanic. Just so enjoyable to watch a well made video.
My Delica petrol just clocked 400k many of them off-road tracks development Rds etc never been rebuilt motor unopened still running fine I believe as a mechanic/engineer of 40yrs that reliability is not dedicated to certain brands all cars have problems most of which can be prevented when armed with knowledge known issues with any particular vehicle and of course a bit of luck helps Luv your work JA
500k km = to about 100k liter of diesel. If you use a avg of R21pl over its life that comes out to R2.1mil on diesel that truck has used😂 thats just craze!
While I thoroughly enjoyed the video, I find it hard to believe that there was nothing open in Burgersdorp. In South Africa, even in quite small towns, the petrol stations have convenience shops that are open 7 days a week, and from early until late (if not 24hrs). And they do sell very basic food stuffs and pies.
Its a shame America wont bring vehicles like these in, the mid 80s had toyota, datsun , mitsubishi ,(dodge d50) pickups, bare bone, rear bumpers were an option. But they were so simple to modify, and maintain. Today we have $40,000 plus vehicles ,that take all the fun of this away.
I love it when I see the Terrain Tamer products. Alan Gray in the background and the Terrain Tamer logo which I created when I worked for them. Good stuff :)
I have a question Andrew. For my taste, you have best videos, short, medium and long format, of covering 4x4 car overlanding. How come you have "only" 300k fallowers? When I started few years back you had 150k. Others have grown a lot more then you. But then again they are doing for the buisness and adapting videos to fallowers, you aren't. You do you and you are far most authentic of them all. And at the same time authority (in my eyes anyway) among few others (all are your close friends) in the field. So I don't get the weathers, why aren't there more fallowers?! ALL BEST in the future adventures.
Good afternoon Andrew, I have been looking forward to the upload of the video, the South African build high mileage Toyota Land Cruiser. All the best in your adventures. Good day
Hi Andrew, this video had me nailed to the computer screen. In short, I am a bit jealous. I also found myself asking the question - what is the budget for a complete overall like this? Probably not a question you would like to reply to here, but at 270,000 km on my 2007 Prado, I can't help to wonder what Snyman would discover if I had to take my girl for a proper once over. Would those pizza cutters not have performed much better with some lower pressures? Finally, thanks for your unique content and ability to transform my mind and persona into a virtual overlander.. I am already searching for the next episode that I may have missed. Ooooh - and our roads....
Those particular split rims were amongst the safer ones during my tyre fitting career. There are other split rims that we would not touch ~ and a few fitters would not touch split rims at all.
That road is called R26, its bad all the way to Wepener, last time I used it three years ago. Its a peaceful drive, but I think after Wepener its much better, and Eastern cape side roads were very good
I believe that the 70 series is a wonderful platform to build an overland 4x4 which is reliable and can be modified extensively to suit ones needs. As good as it is, and as much as I enjoy seeing your builds especially the 2.8, I would really like to see you driving a G-Wagen again. They have a lot of potential, especially the W461 G300 Pro for your needs. I know it is not available as a new car, but I think the G could be the perfect overlander with the right touches. Already has 950kg payload, 3500kg GVM, and 3500kg towing capacity in the wagon form. Steel bumpers, heavy duty roof rack, robust 4wd system and engine, 95l diesel capacity and tough 16 inch wheels as standard. Here in Europe the number of G's that are being modified and driven offroad is constantly increasing. And for good reason. It can even be outfitted with a pop-top like the one from Schmude, additional fuel tanks and much more. For a future project, as a W460 G owner I would really like to see you even consider the possibility of building a proper G. On another note, I am really looking forward to seeing the Van project evolve, as well as the 2.8 Cruiser!
The 60 series in background while you were looking at your seats at 2.38 looked nice. I'm planning to use one in Namibia for light/minimalist 2 up overlanding so I'm all ears and eyes if you have any comments or videos on them.
A thought just occurred to me for the rattles in the back, too late now, but……. A few squirts of expanding foam between the plates would have worked a treat, and the mess it would leave wouldn’t matter, cause you’re ripping it out at the end point
Fantastic video. We are planning to drive along part of this route later this year, so will hopefully be better prepared. Carry a torch, careful at traffic lights, keep a pack of biscuits in the car and stock up with Sennacot.😊
Andrew! I loved the video. Unfortunately the talking-head piece was a bit...well...nauseating 😂. I usually watch your videos while cooking, or braaing...with some red saffer wine. The talking head piece with the motion in the background unfortunately was a bit a bit too much motion for my situation. Use it, don't use it, ill still watch your videos while cooking and drinking red wine 😂 Love your work!

Just so enjoyable to watch a well made video.
I’m just about to spend 4hrs in Adelaide airport, the another 2ish hours in the sky to Alice Springs. This is perfect timing for this video to drop!
Alice Springs?, S.Africa without the airfare.
God speed in Alice Springs.

Déjà vu, still watched 3hrs….
Can’t wait for the rest ❤
My Land Cruiser is 500 KMs, too. So much more life left in this vintage jalopy! Thanks so much for the content.

As an American I would not eat your wife’s “American “ breakfast. That looked so sweet and unhealthy! 😂
Call it Holy, it has so many holes.
puh, 3 hours. i have to split that up, but guess that it will be an inspiring journey.
Gwynn she is on the watch man , look 😅her face

🤣😆😆, the Tokolosi part killed me with laughter 🤣, it can only be South Africans

Try an ozone machine for the smell. I had a coworker who bought a car from a smoker. 4 hours of the ozone machine fixed it.
It would be more epic with more cinematic shots with the car. Loving the content though!
Thank god. Not another Hiace Van (Van-Life) episode.
Andrew! I loved the video. Unfortunately the talking-head piece was a bit...well...nauseating 😂.

Use it, don't use it, ill still watch your videos while cooking and drinking red wine 😂
Love your work!
nauseating? Now you know. Next time get a bucket :-)
@@4xoverland hahahaha touché! Love your work Andrew!
Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
This is art!!!
Andrew is doing a AB Camping style video. Nice.
thanks for the video, really learned a Lot. 1hz
Yawn
The headline is meant to read 500k Kms. !
“Stock” apart from the perforated floor.
Shame on the dealership, how did that tyre pass roadworthy 😮
who knows!
What about the fitout? We've seen all this as separate videos.
stay tuned
500,000 Kilometers is about 311,000 miles in case any Americans are wondering.
not
You’re a joy. And you wonder why the children don’t call.
Love the love smack #trained
Expedition? LOL... are you Dr Livingstone now? LOL
