200 SERIES TOYOTA LANDCRUISER WALKTHROUGH - built to travel Australia 

Glad you enjoyed it mate!

It’s all ‘living a dream’ until you realize you’re homeless living out of a car...

@@986C historically people were nomadic and didn’t have permanent residences.

Are you joking about the overpriced gadgets? Lol

Thanks 👍

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks, will do!

Glad you enjoyed it

100%

He said early in the walk through that he had a gvm upgrade done pre rego. Think it was upped to 3800kg

Around the 4min mark, they mention the GVM upgrade pre rego to 3800kg. Had mine done a while back, post rego to 4015kg. Nice and simple and a great improvement to the vehicle.

Yep got a GVM upgrade so its still within the limits

@@TylerThompson90 have you ever put her on the scales when set up for a "2 week trip" .. i have an extra 180 litre fuel tank and set up with just me in the car i tip the scales at 3600kg

Thanks for the tip

Hey mate one for me was the tailgate

Drive on beach to wash the bottom was even a shot of parked in the water at the beach fishing or something sitting off the tailgate . Be sold as never on beach and the whole underneath covered in black paint...

Mate they come off the boat with rust haha After driving most of Australia with a lot of dirt roads hard not to get stone chips. There’s still a lot of red dirty from wa and the cape up under there. The under body is getting a respray

Good pick up, pretty sure they are designed to move from the body hence the the need for a gap.

The bull bar is solid mounted to the chassis, but the body is rubber mounted, what you're seeing is the body trying to stay still while the chassis moves around under it. A bit like wheels bouncing while the vehicle stays flat.....sort of.

Thanks mate, coming soon 😉😁

Call me crazy, but I suspect it is!

stupiest mistake ever he juts lost a 100k

@@notanotherutubeuser his money, and he seems happy

@@notanotherutubeuser currently, he'd be making 100K, he's currently laughing. Best thing about the 300 release, 200's trippled in value. His property would possibly be worth less now the market is turning. His gamble, well if he sold now would pay off, sell car for more, buy replacement property for less, however I think this rigs staying with him. Do it whilst you're young if you can afford it. Me, wife, 3 kids did, kids all adults with own kids, they all love the outdoors as a result of their youth spent on the road, mind you, we did keep the house, saved like hell to achieve it.

Perhaps people don’t buy things to make money but to enjoy it.

@@isaacandhismusic1153 exactly, hopefully plenty of fulfillment & enjoyment come his way. Good touring rigs are my passion, it's been a way of life for me since 1999, toured Aus as a family of five and as a result, it has become infectious for all my kids too, so another 3 tourers out there now. Should he end up selling (why would ya?), all good 200 series are currently worth so much money he wouldn't be out of pocket.

Hey mate its a modified ebay special haha Its held up well.

He said it was from eBay!

@@TylerThompson90 thanks for the info!

Hey mate it was on ebay, I just had to mod it to fit. Flipped some parts and drilled a new pin hole. Cheers

@@matthewjorgensen5497 thanks for the additional info. Absolutely loved the vid - your mods are a great inspiration for my soon-to-arrive LC200 VX!

Hey mate fitted the middle bar first

@@matthewjorgensen5497 Hi mate can you help me please, my question is do you have the rooftop tent fixed to middle load bar? Or is the tent only fixed on the front & back load bars? say four clamp points rather than six? and any troubles with rooftop tent off-road? Also was there any trouble getting underneath to fix the clamps? Because I to have taken off my rhino platform and would like to setup the three front runner load bars also to the backbone but am worried about enough clearance room to underneath so I can fix the clamps to the loading bars, By the way I love your deadly setup 👍🏾

@@waynetobane8814 Hey mate, so from memory you attach the middle cross bar to the back bone first then put the tent on and fix it off with the brackets. The front and back crossbars are alittle easier. Ive had the tent,awning and accessories up there since new, 60,00kms later (WA top to bottom and the cape) not one issue. Cheers!!

Alu-Cab. You can see it about the 5:48 mark.

What do you recommend for bash plates mate?

@@matthewjorgensen5497 I used ARB underbody on my Navara and travelled from Tassie to the Cape and Kimberley’s, VHC etc and protected me.. Now I have V6 Amarok set up for touring and have Rival underbody which is great..!! Not sure the best on a 200 but would like you to get extra underbody protection for such a great rig .!!!

@@matthewjorgensen5497 a reason for extra under body protection is from big gibber rocks that are flung up under vehicle and known to crack and smash transfer cases and transmissions etc..!!

Bcdc is to show they have no idea about what they sold their house to buy.

It charges your second battery and also for solar power

You are partly right, BUT if you have a Redarc as he does and was referring to, Redarc call their range, BCDC followed by amps, (in his case 25) then a D for dual input, (alternator & solar). So they did know what they're talking about, sorry. Check Redarc site out to verify.

@@ianweal3081 you mean I’m completely right. It’s a dcdc charger right ? Because it’s shelf name is BCDC doesn’t make it anything different from what the competitors sell

@@Chris-sf2cp well yes, they are dcdc chargers, and Redarc say they are dcdc chargers, but your query referred to his Redarc unit terminology and that's what I clarified. He's still correct referring to it under Redarc's title as I do, infact I hear anyone with a Redarc unit refer to them as BCDC. Whatever we call it, you obviously knew what he was referring to, just as I did. Bloody good unit, no matter what we call it.

Do you even overland then, bro? :D

Yeah the current generation should be called the "Gen Now" Has to have 200k car 800k house avo on every breakfast lol. Bank owes them for life.

@@ausguy4385 yeh a lot of people take car loans and house loans and refuse to work within their means. I personally prefer to live a life that I can afford whilst still being able to enjoy the finer things in life😁😁😁

😂😂

Keep the house, just do it, the experience is awesome. In our case we had to set up vehicle for five of us, 16, 14, 10 year olds plus wife & me. Created the ultimate storage system, three vehicles later still using same system, but been modified to suit two on the road now, not 5, gees space was limited.

Na tree house bro

Always more to the story mate. The headline isn’t totally correct

Mate it gets washed weekly, also underbody ever time after off road. It’s hard with so much stone chips. It’s getting another underbody spray

They come off the boat with surface rust haha

You have to be joking, that is just surface deterioration that any used 4x4 will end up with. If he goes for a run thru long lush grass the exposed underside will appear polished. Having said that, I owned a 76 series once and even with a rust eliminating electrical circuit running individually thru body and chassis, the surface deterioration was horrendous, not too confident in Toyotas chassis paint jobs after owning it. Sons Hilux, the front cross member had to be cut out and replaced, now that was rusted. Again, a Toyota.
