wondering how did the N70 go did it struggle at any point of it?
@LifeoftheCromies
@LifeoftheCromies Месяц назад
Did pretty well for a near standard setup and no lockers. The only point it needed assistance was through logans crossing, it wasn't necessary but we towed it as a precaution. Definitely more than capable for doing the trip!

This is what I am looking to do with my LC (when I get one). Do you know if anyone has converted their head unit and AC controls from a Sahara to a GXL style with the fan speed as a button control instead of within the display? In the US we only got the Sahara trim as standard, and this is something that everyone would love to change. Edited to change VX to GXL

Not to sure buddy haven't looked into units for the newer FL 70 series models, aside from the Kenwood we installed in our '21 79. The Kenwood was a whole unit replacement, not an interface for the stock unit.

Great info. How do you find them on the road and off-road such as corrugations. Much difference in fuel use
@LifeoftheCromies
@LifeoftheCromies Месяц назад
Hey mate, no real fuel usage difference as the change in gear ratios compensation for the larger tyres and extra drag. They perform like a stock setup on corrugations, just with more clearance.

Congrats guys! I think you’ll miss the practicality of a tray and canopy. But the trade off for comfort would be hard to pass. Keen to follow the new build 👍 Do a single turbo conversion with a motec 😂
@LifeoftheCromies
@LifeoftheCromies Месяц назад
Thanks mate! We will definitely miss the convenience of a canopy, even if it was way too high to be practical 😂 the 200 is super comfy and it will be legal and insured when towing next year. That was the biggest thing for us. If you want to see the mods, you will have to follow along!

Not sure man. You look a bit upset tbh. From a portaled 79 to a 200. Are you sure this was a "we" decision, or hers?
@LifeoftheCromies
@LifeoftheCromies Месяц назад
Hey mate, definitely a hard decision as we both love the 79. The 200 series was the best vehicle for our future plans and allows us to take a year off work and travel Australia! Pretty sweet deal to me!

@Werkar27 Месяц назад
Great news guys. I came to the channel because of the unique 79 but stayed for your adventures especially the cape and OTT. Really glad to see another unique perspective from you guys as you still have sometime before you begin the lap. Forget the naysayer's, your lap your rules. My wife and I are in the same boat as you guys. We're also "thinking" of getting a van, as in our 40's we do want a few luxuries. Definitely stoked to see what you guys get and your reasons behind it, that should help us a lot. Cheers and all the best.

Would you believe yours is one of the only videos on the net showing how to do this, I don’t think Norweld have ever made one. The leg stability has always annoyed me since I also do this but my dilemma was solved by making a custom table to store it on. I’ve scraped and scratched a few things along the way so the little tips you have might help someone else. I also put weight in the rear drawer, let down the back tyres and take the tray side bolts off.
