![[$28,000] I purchased TOYOTA HIACE 4WD diesel cold region model off-road style.](/img/1.gif)
Nice and thorough on the sound deadener and insulation. I added sound panels inside my walls before wool insulation filling. Not much point but seriously I can be on a loud phone call in the van and sound like in 200m away 😂
I just did a HiAce van myself! Almost all finished. You gave me a great tip with the carpet around the back door. Thanks! Ordered it myself and I will have to squeeze it in but it will be worth it! The height of the van doesn't bother me as I can sit in it, so all good! Used it twice already on some trips. Great van!
Don't worry too much about anyone telling you it's too low and you should have bought something else... A lot is just driving competence, I've got spending places in my van which would be a similar ride height.
Hey Guys! In love with the build. Just wondering if you insulated and sound proofed the floor and wheel bays? Also, I would love to know how thick your ply is for the subfloor? Thanks so much : )
Hi good to see a quality build i have a hiace there is only a few of these vans in the UK people dont know how good they are when converting into a camper
Hiaces are great aren't they! 😄
Hello Mason & Sarah...seeing ur amazing DIY conversion made me subscribe.Thank u for inspiring us & excited for finishing touch.Wish u all the best & more power guys,cheers🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for your support! 😄
Great vid. Can't wait to see the end product
thanks!
Hey Guys, any review on the engine sort of thing, I noticed this van is not very common in australia however it looks sick and I'm interested to buy one of those. easy to find parts? any major issue or anything I need to keep an eye before buying? cheers.
Very inspiring go-getting duo
Aw thank you! :)
UV Express Service has entered the group chat 😅
Awesome van guys!!
I'm going to look at a few of these 4x4 hiaces to buy soon, is there anything I can look for to confirm that it is indeed the 4x4 model so I don't get screwed over and end up with a 2wd haha?
Thanks so much! We would recommend paying for an independent mechanical check before you buy it, we do this with all our vans & its certainly money well spent!
Hey Mason and Sarah, Great Content and all the very best for your future endeavours!
By the way, Is your HIACE fitted with factory 4WD setup? Or you guys bought the 2WD Van and converted it in to 4WD?
Regards.
is the van factory raised or is it after maket springs
Hi guys! Loved the van build vids, I’ve just bought the same van and wanting to insulate it soon, so you remember how many Sqm of sound deadener and insulation you used for this build?
Many thanks if you can help 😊
We used two boxes of sound deander, and 1 roll of insulation :)
@@masonandsarah thanks!!
@@VanLyf no problem 😌
Where can you buy a 4x4 hiace in Australia?
You can import them from japan
You 2 are fabulous. The best videos, easy to follow, very informative. I love that it's Aussie with products from bunnings so i can easily get when we do our build. Thanks, you rock
For sure one my favourite builds so far and from across the ditch too haha
About halfway through with my Hiace, if it turns out half as good as your guys, i'll be stoked lol
Noticed engine sensor light was on too. Build looks amazing.
Did you buy the van from a dealer Mason?
Когда твоим проектом руководит женщина , можешь сказать ему до свидания😂 полное говно
bruh better use a mask while sanding those panels
Just bought my 4x4 Hiace from Mordialloc last month and all the way drive back to Gold Coast, nice works you guys done, can't wait to see the final result.🤙🏽
Thats epic! Enjoy your new 4X4!
Hey guys, great job! Looking into buying one of these, how has the fuel economy been?
You won't be doing any serious four wheel driving in that thing.
Very nice build so far. I've done the same thing recently with my 2008 hiace AWD, nearly finished. Can't wait to get away. Good luck with your build and your journeys.
How exciting! Best of luck with your van build too 🤗

Hiace 4x4 wow...how much the price...good choice for campervan ,toilet is must...👍🏻
Did you weigh it before and after the fit out?
Interested how the extra weight will affect your fuel economy…
damn looks good pimps
Great build guys! Question, where did you buy the Tassie oak shiplap boards from?
Where did you purchase it I need one for my 9 kids I have
Watching from Southern Africa. Nice build guys.
Hi guys, awesome job ! what did you use precisely for your walls and roof?
I like how the plywood floor just appeared
Hi is a great job guys well done...
I like your dog.😊
Hiace is far too low for a good camper, you will need to raise it. A Mitsubishi would probably have been better….
Митсубиси лучше подходит для бездорожья..Но Делика меньше Хайса и доставляет больше проблем с надёжностью
they can always add a pop top if its an issue
@@bodgespuds too low to the ground, their ground clearance is not good….
Can I ask how many boxes of sound deader did you use many thanks
two!
Where do you live? NZ?
Australia 😊
more videos please :D:P
Ep 2 comes out tomorrow!
Great job!
thank you!
killing it!
Thanks heaps! :)
It looks like the perfect blank setup. All it needs is a deep clean insulation a re-tune of engine lift kit wheels and tires and I'm done
try less talk and more work. you explain 80% and work for 20% thats why people dont follow your channel.
I disagree, I like to understand what they are doing, how and why.
Funny you say not much to see here just an empty van.... that's the only part i give a sh*t about lol. So i can plan before i buy one.
What's the guy's real name?
