Building an Overland Vehicle Tips and Advice (feat Andrew White) 

I've learnt so much from these two legends and I don't even own my first 4x4 yet.

Andrew is basicly one of the founding father of modern overlanding. He is a legend! Love the guy.

also. love that u guys are independent. this is the future of media. im ova the likes of product flogging 4wd shows who bullshit. like the honest approach

My 2 fav channels come together. I was so happy to see you come to Australia Andrew

I go over the GVM for my stock Suzuki Jimny when I go through the drive through and order anything larger than a small cheeseburger meal.

Masters of overlanding came together. My all time favorites!

My two favorite off road channels in one place.

This is so very cool, my two favourite 4x4 experts in the one place.May this collaboration last for ever and be as strong and informative as Paul Marsh and Andrew have done for years.Cheers Eric. 200LC

The collaboration of two Icons in Overlanding and Offroad camping... Bravo!! Great information and advice as usual on both men's behalf...

Brian's filing cabinet is brilliant! It works so well. So good to see you blokes together. Great rundown on builds too.

The best conversation I've ever heard on real world 4x4 set up, no product pushing, just the physical reality of equipment.

Wow, two of my favourite off road youtube channel collaboration. All top notch points mentioned in the video, Andrew is extremely knowledgeable. Good on you Rohhny for the making the callab video.

awesome guys, so happy to see you both together. you're the two guys that are mainly inspiring me for my overland tours ..

2 great overlanders! respect n glad to see them link up!

2 Legends working together. Both of my favourite RU-vid channels in one! I hope these collabs keep happening fellas!

A truly rare beast. A Overland video full of down to earth, realistic advice. You are building a really good channel Ronnie. Keep up the good work. You have earned a genuine fan. Thank You.

Great to see you chaps together at last. Good point on the electrics. Most auto electricians just connect things. They don't "install" anything properly. Electrical installation on overlander and extreme use vehicles is a far different thing to fitting a boom box in a street car. Another thing worth mentioning is that an inexperienced person is more likely to create a bad solder joint than a bad crimp joint assuming they are actually using crimping pliers of course. Although soldering is good practice in most electrical applications, it is not actually best in automotive applications especially in high stress and vibration environments. You will rarely find a solder joint unless it's on a PCB.

My two favorite overland content creators. Great video with lots of priceless knowledge.

The collab I've been waiting for! Awesome!

so awesome seeing the two of you making vids together i have been watching and learning from both your channels for some time now and am really excited to see what you guys come up with for collaborations

DREAMS REALLY DO COME TRUE!!! So glad to see a colab video with the BEST overlanders!

Loving the collaboration with my two favourite channels, thanks guys

Mind blown. They are two of my favorite off-road / overland channels! Cool collaboration!

I have just been getting into overlanding. Thank you for the videos you have made. They are really helpfull for questions I had and questions I haven't known I needed to have.

a worthwhile discussion ... in relaxed, comfortable-looking surroundings. Thanks ...

Wow both of you together is an awesome video. Thankyou for making this happen!

I loved seeing this collaboration Vid. My father was a professional Boy Scout and am looking forward to putting my lifelong camping experiences with the Overland community. I am just getting started with a vehicle and have watched and subscribed to both of your channels a few months back. this was a grand suprise and will certainly be a money saver for me. Thanks to you Ronnie and Andrew for sharing your extended experience. looking forward to the wilderness!

Andrew and Ronny, what a team can't be beaten keep up the good work

Fantastic---- I have learned most from Mr. White --- thank you for making a video with him

2 fav youtubers together. watched it twice now. great work and handy tips

One Of The Best videos I’ve seen. Thank you Guys. Must say I’ve been learning a lot with your content Ronny. Greetings from Portugal. Cheers

The two people that started me on this journey in the same damn place! Awesome.

Wow my two favorite 4x4 people on the same channel, looking forward to an adventure with the two of you!

Dream Team! Once again what an awesome video. Very informative. Its given me some ideas for my future build. Great video Ronny.

Two intelligent good blokes , very easy to listen to. Cheers boys

Great video Ronny your collaboration with Andrew was fantastic to see, I also follow Andrew on his channel & I think these types of joint videos will really go the distance. The wealth of knowledge you both have is enormous & you complimented each other very well when discussing each topic, really great to watch & you covered a good deal of subjects which gave some great advice for someone just about to do a build as well as sound tips for existing Overlanders. I really hope you both will continue to do these types of collaboration videos. Thank's Mate, Steve.

Love your vids, Ronny! So much good knowledge and honest advice here! I'm a fledgling overlander here in the U.S. and hope to experience overlanding in South America and Australia one day, as well. Your vids have been indispensable in helping me equip myself sensibly and use my equipment correctly. Thanks; and keep up the great work!

this is my favorite 4wd channel ..fmower from Algeria.

Love that you guys teamed up!!!

Great vid...Cheers Good to see you here Andrew.

hell yea! my favorite two speakers!

Great to see you two doing video together. I really enjoyed it. Thanks :-)

Well done guys, one of the best videos I have seen for a long time. Down to earth and real, and definitely not sponsored by one of those large companies. Loved the talk about electronics, being a electronics tech, I have seen some shockers, do all my own now. Thanks again for a great video.

Best collaboration!!! thx for upload high quality video.

Best episode ever, Like when you discuss lite a blogg talk with argumenting with each other. More of that! Thanks for charing, Cheers

Loved this, great to see you guys having a natter like this - we need more! :-)

My 2 favorite channels in one show, awesome..🤗

this duo is going to be epic. cant wait for more

This the collaboration I have been waiting for

Hey my two favorite RU-vid off-road people! WOOT WOOO!

wow this video is just AMAIZING, really helpful information, the right kind of tips, thanks Ronny Dahl and Mr. Andrew for this great video

On soldering wires: there's a very good argument (and for certain applications it's a requirement) that wires shouldn't be soldered and that they should be crimped instead. The reason is that the solder will create a rigid area of the wire that will then be prone to fail when subjected to the vibrations that you find in in vehicles. Crimping done properly will give an excellent electrical connection without the negative effects that soldering has.

You two guys were clearly enjoying yourselves.

This collab is awsome

Thank you for sharing your wisdom xxxx I’ve got a 96 Defender, I love 💓 her x

excellent video Ronny and to true about learning to repair /service your own vehicle I saved a fortune repairing my front cv shafts on my 80 series cruiser also have done all my own wiring for winch lights and radio to date next i am building my own rear bar with swingout arms on both sides with all lighting also building my own rood racks ...personally I have been doing my own breaks for as long as I have been driving the trick to brakes is ensuring your seals are in good condition and knowing the correct way to bleed the brakes ;) never had an issue with fail or fading even on steep or extended declines .. not mechanically trained but I been tinkering on cars since I was 10 1/2 working on brakes was the first thing i was taught by my best mates brother on an old ap5 valiant ....great video guys now i best go get a fire extinguisher and first aid kit ....

Just watched both videos mate. great episode and what a wealth of information you both have. Appreciate the effort. Cheers Moose.

Thanks from the states just getting started in the over landing . Great info and insight. You guys are true gentlemen f the hobby

awesome that the two of you are getting together.

Exceeded my expectations as to how I've imagined your team video to look like. Hope you will get many more opportunities to get together in the future. Thanks!

THANK RONNY AND ANDREW FOR PUT TOGETHER GREAT DETAIL VIDEO AS BOTH KNOW WHAT TOURING IN OUTBACK AUSTRALIA BUSH AND KNOW WHAT SHOULd BE CARRY IN OUR 4X4 AS STAND TO TOUR IN BUSH

Wow this was an awesome video Watching you talking to a legend! Brilliant Ronnie, we all can learn so much from Andrew

Rodney you have some great video and this one was one of your best . It was honest and very informative. Thank you

Thanks Ronny, just what we needed to help us with out build of our BT50 😀

I totally agree with the your take on DIY. It might not look as good, but it might work better. That’s part of design as well…deciding how good you want it to look and how much you want to pay for it

Out of every friggin' metal music crammed offroad or gear review video i've seen now THIS has been the most educational. I'm saving this to re-listen. GREAT discussion. No I'm going to go buy me a nice shovel, max trax and some nice straps! Thanks guys

Two great channels come together - love it

Well good on you for doing this Ronny, watch both videos and I started with my list for must haves for my next trip. Stuff I mostly new about but kept getting pushed to the back of my mind. Cheers.

On my 1992 Land Cruiser HJZ75RV the front and rear wheel bearings are the same so I carry a universal kit with tab washers and seals for both axles.

Wow awesome video great to see you both together. I have watched a lot of Andrew's videos and liked seeing the build on his Cruiser by Alu Cab. I love seeing RU-vidrs work together to make cross over videos. Thank you to both of you.

Great video Ronny, I have enjoyed your Videos and trips and Tips. I have watched many of Andrew's videos. I find that you both produce excellent videos and enjoy seeing the outback, and Andrew's trips around Southern Africa. Looking forward to seeing more videos from both of you and hopefully trips you do together.

Andrew seems like a great guy, as well as Ronny. Great video

It is great to see both of you in the same video.

The Lords of the Cruisers! They finally found each other. We expect a lot of info from you guys. Like this vid. Well done.

I agree so much with this guy's point at 14:20.

I could not agree more with your advice. Spot on comment re 200 too. Ive always had 70series, got a nice fj45 collector too. Bought a 200 cause of the grandkids. Lovely car. Awesome black top/dirt road tourer until i put myself/wife and camping gear in it. Suspension was overwhelmed. I travel light too! When i looked at gvm and added up bull bar, 2 people, tent, fridge, small shovel, clothes, water, spares (no extra spare wheel no highlift jack), i was still “over”. Owned it for 3 years and couldnt bring myself to spend $10-20,000 on upgrades. Sold it 4 weeks ago back into a 79 dual cab. Could not be happier :)).

good show once again ronny and Andrew,in regards to you chat about draws I think one way to get what you want and need is make up a cutting list for your panel sizes and work out what draw runners you will use and take your cutting list to a local cabinet maker for him to cut everything to size.This makes all the cuts nice and neat,make sure you glue and screw you panels together.Its not expensive to do.

Great advice guys, yes and I carry a mid-size fiskars axe, very useful tool. Don't go out if you don't train first, do some practice . I have seen people that were kitted well enough but did not know what to do. First aid, tyre changing, the list goes on. Practice, become competent then you can have fun and not cause trouble for the rest of us. Search and rescue is not my idea of fun, I do it but do not enjoy it! Looking forward to the Canning video, Thank you

Excellent video. Thanks guys.

Great video, great collabo, true legends.

This is an awesome video Ronny. Really enjoy all your stuff. Im young and don't know alot about overlanding and 4 wheel driving but very interested and just purchased a project vehicle. These are very helpful for me. Keep up the good work.

Enjoy both of your guy's videos. Good work on collaborating. Jealous of the 70's series LC's being in Canada....

Very helpful video gents! Thank you!

Yes!! I love Andrew!!

Andrew is king of building overland cars !

Two legends man ! Learnt so much from these guys

thank very much. a whole lot of useful info from the two of you.

Loved this video! Thanks!

Two overlanding legends in one place :) !

Wow. Great content. I learned quite a bit. This is almost like an over landing bible. I can say my history of being an electronic tech along with a mechanic. I will do my own work. No power mods unless it is an option from the factory

I JUST found your site here on RU-vid and am totally stoked. I have watched five of your videos so far and I am so very thankful that I have found your site. I have been four-wheeling off and on my whole life (I'm 73 years young now) and you're information is spot on, hands down!!! I live in the U S (Kingman Arizona) to be specific but your information is so very usable that no one can deny it. Too bad that you are in Australia. I'd sure like to meet and know you! You are very knowlegable and I thank you for posting these videos. Keep them coming!

Two continents .. and a passion greetings from Portugal ;)

Thanks for all the great tips.

Hey this is really neat two very different styles, but experts coming together to make a very good video. Thanks

Great Collab.... More please

I've just got myself a '01 Lux. (I'm 17 btw). This was really helpful, seeing as places like ARB will always just try and sell you stuff. Towing my 4.5 tinnie around the place, it's definitely important to consider weight and such.

fantastic!!! the two big boys,🤗🤗😎

Great video, two great 4wd minds 👍

Great conversation, tnx

I really like your comments regarding chips. I would also add that the real point of chipping and tuning is to make it exactly right for you. Andrews comment about the t-shirt is spot on. When you choose to tune your engine the most important part is to make it work exactly right for what you are doing. Even to the point of tuning to more power at lower RPM because your driving style is at the bottom of the range. Make the wrench tune it for you not for him or his impressions.
