    What you were talking about at the start, happens with my 100 when it's fully loaded. The auto and the cruise control does struggle to find a comfortable rev range.
    I'd reccomend some weight reduction. Switch to alloy rims instead of steelies, saves 50-60kg depends on what rim size

    About the valve stem cap for your tires. We use short valve stem extensions on big trucks here in the US. You don't need to take them off to put air in or let it out and still keeps dirt and mud out of your valve seals

    hi! #overlandlady This problem of not reaching a certain speed soon or reaching 120 kph is solved by installing a turbocharger, your toyota admits that possibility, a 300hp one is enough so that you have enough power, without excesses and you can get enough energy to walk at good speed and which will also improve off road performance!

    Hello, I enjoy your videos and spirit of adventure! I am a long time Land Cruiser owner, having many since 1978. My current rig is a 100 series. I use only premium grade fuel, and when available, ethanol-free fuel! I upgraded the suspension to Old Man Emu with a 2" lift. Tires are Yokohama Geolander A/T 285/75R16 (10 ply). I am not sure of your lack of power issue in the mountains. The only time I lost power was when I lost two coil packs and she was only running on 6 cyl. Good luck!

    Moniqe, CBC Weather Scientist "cant recall her name" said that the real danger in a fire is wind. Wind carrier fire brands down wind and starts spot fires. She said STAY out of the forest if its in the middle of a severe drought. Also, winds over 30km/h, Tempatures over 30C and Humidity under 30%. These are what causes mega fires in Canada and the United States. I would consider bring a portable fire shelter should you be caught in a forest fire.

    With all the added weight with your build, try looking into re-gearing your differentials into a better ratio. Keep in mind the weight of your rig and also your tire size. Though this process will not so much help with your speed, it will really come through with your gas mileage and prevent engine strain. Love the channel!!!

    This life isn't for everyone. Isolation can have positive and negative affect to people. But, I have travelled a lot of the world, often to some remote locations, and the most memorable is sitting alone with only the sound of the wind overlooking a frozen ocean where there are no animals and no sounds of human life. This was a great video and almost suspenseful to find out what happens in the end. It was like petting a dog, I think my heart rate and blood pressure dropped.

    Feel your pain with the wind had my old R50 Pathfinder rock pretty good a couple of times up on Chilko lake. The wind shifted and the side rather than the front. Garbage sucks, I clean up every site I am at, if there is garbage. But at the end of a long day hitting the site you planned on with a bunch junk scattered around tends to take you down a notch. I stop, setup, eat and then clean up the site. I find the act of leaving things better for the next guy lifts my spirits a bit.
    I have enjoyed your channel so far.

    So so Shameful for people to leave there trash everywhere they go.
    In Hawaii we have a few people like that, they don’t know how they affect the land, the air, the rivers... that leads to the Oceans, that trash that they have just left affects the whole planet, which later which later affects us as the human species.
    We are the Planets Worst Species to live on this Beautiful planet, we should be honored to have such a beautiful place to call... home... we should think of ourselves as Gaurdians and Care takers of this land.
    We have a saying here in Hawaii, “you bring it in... you can take it out! Leaving only footsteps in the Sand, and taking a great experience!”
    Keep up with pushing for a cleaner living leaving only footsteps. ♥️

      The Kings from Australia is my stable because it's thicker and comfy. Loved the Kuma heated chair but it packs down too big and don't need the heating function in warm weather now. However for sitting and writing, ARB director chair is best because of its flat bottom. Normal camp chair is comfortable when leaning back because it sags but not for leaning over to reach a table.
