I just wish you would show the prices for everything you do, including labour and fitment prices, even if your getting them for nothing, let us know what we should expect to pay
Kitchen design and functionality is next level. Gotta love Aussie ingenuity. We have some of the best items in the World for our outdoor lifestyle. I think these would sell like hotcakes in the U.S.
Awesome video as usual. One piece of constructive (I hope) feedback. Been finding the lighting / exposure a bit low in some of these night videos. Looks good but I want to see all the details.
Men this has been a great success, a lot of through an organisation involved in the development process, bloody well done in the building of the prado.
Wonderful video as usual! I’ve got a free standing kitchen that you slide out as a drawer and that put it on its legs. I was a bit envy of those slide out kitchets until I parked on a lake beach and was really off-camber, it would be impossible to cook (there were no flat spots what so ever if you wanted to be close to water). The free standing kitchen has got each leg adjustable independently so I had to problem making it nice and flat.
Very good tips with chabging out the water in the tank. I've had clear hoses to a pump and the end where I dip it into my jerry car actually grew mold. So regular flushing is important. Cheers.
Nice setup, but a little cramped with the Prado swing door. Also makes the fold down table on the door kind of useless. Don't get me wrong, if I had something that nice I would make the best of it. Dan Grec showed something quite simple but functional on his Jeep. Of course he is sponsored by the manufacturer it seems but also a nice setup.
Why is there so much negativity from people who probably have never posted a RU-vid video in their life?? Keep up the fine work Ronny for those who really appreciate what you do!! So many great ideas to be seen from these videos and comments.🙂
Impressive setup. But I chuckled when he said “The build is pretty much done”. LMAO! It’s never “done” when it comes to camping/overlanding/touring/off-roading vehicles 🤣 I bet he’ll be adding and replacing stuff for years to come.
One of the reasons I've never been sold on draw systems is I find the storage solution (draws) takes up more volume and weight than what is stored. I think Drifta having no 'runners' has gone someway in solving that. I'd love to see one made with sheet aluminium and Teflon slides.
Interesting concept, very functional. Personally I’d prefer the stove to pull out to the side with the lower table coming out from under the stove, so it’s not so cramped between the door. Top table wouldn’t need to lift up, could just be lift off for cleaning
I'm not sold on the location of that water spout. I definitely would have put a pump with a tap somewhere else in the kitchen. (Could leave a emergency backup underneath) but I think it's exposed to too much dirt and mud where it's at.
I would have liked to see a work surface next to the stove, I like to prepare and cook at the same time in my setup , seems like you need to walk around or lean over to get access to what you are cooking
The thongin at the start was brilliantly funny 😂😂 What an interesting idea with the kitchen set up, and it's so good seeing different companies like quick pitch rethinking the kitchen design where it is slightly different to what's out there in the modification world. Another great video Ronny mate, and Chris your Prado is really looking the goods so great work mate 👍👍
Re: drinking water. I travel with missus and a toddler, 37 liter tank lasted us 3 days. I’ll be increasing it to about 76 liters as I want to be able for us to go off-grid for 7 days. That’s only drinking water, I’ve got a 60 liter bag (!) for non-drining water, we spent may be third of it overy the course of 7 days.
Interested in the back light also. I think you mentioned that the light in the awning was a national luna? The looked very similar. Are they waterproof and do they only come in yellow/white (comparing against the pdp lights). Thanks!
The quickpitch kitchen seems to be an updated to the quickpitch mini kitchen on their site. Is this a new model that they're bringing out? Love the extra storage and as others said, the wood tops a very a nice touch! Great video guys.
I don't think this is their new model, I would say this model has just been re-think (rethought or remodeled) by Roni and Chris to suit their taste. I am pretty sure if you went to Quick-Pitch with an idea they could possibly help with anything.
One thing the Prado falls short is the rear door. And it's the same problem Harry has too. It only opens to 90 degress and you can't use the drop down table attached to the rear door. A mod to change it so it opens more to maybe 145 degrees untill Toyota rectifies it.
The mechanix are infinitely better improvement over prior art in pullout/drop down kit. Albeit, too small. Constructively, changing from hob to flat plate grill will up thebcooking surface and adding a bottle hob for boiling off to the side is one way to fix the stove bottleneck. Horiz. ARB frig. is a cool mechanical but too high cost to footprint. Go vertical!
Looking good brother hope to see more of this vehicle in future also Ronnie what awning is on the Hilux and where can I get a door arm rest many thanks?
how do you make the Prado level? with a kitchen coming that far out, sloping ground will greatly affect its working height and effort to open and close.
would love to know where your sitting on weight of vehicle....we struggle with weight with 2 adults and 2 young kids and all camping gear etc....its amazing how all those extras add up...great series, go the shopping trolley !!
Loving the build videos - kitchen setup looks phenomenal. How is the stability of it when all fully extended? Seems a lot of weight cantilevered out. Cheers!
My 3rd row seats when I took them out were 51.5kg, so the 50kg kitchen basically replaced them which is not bad. I find with all my bar work, sliders, roof rack etc I only have about 300kg of usable extra weight which includes people, water, gear etc, so not much room for extras, you must be bumping up against that GVM when loaded up I would think unless you have an upgrade. Could I ask what the camera gimbal is you use when filming at the rear of the Prado? I need to get rid of the jitters when filming, cheers!
Hey Chris and Ronny what are the mounts you used for the awning? I have a roof top tent that you can’t mount an awning directly to so it gets in the way of opening the side window. Would love a solution. Cheers
Hey Guys, I saw an ARB compressor go in in the rear quarter WITH a sub woofer on Ronny's Instagram. How did you achieve this? Was it a custom bracket? Cheers
Hey Ronny,grettings from Europe. Very nice project but a little to much for me and where i live. I can not understand what suspension u use for it and also wheels and tyres. I will apreciate if u can get the links for those. Thank u and keep up with these awesome videos.
Hey Guys, im a bout to hit the road from NT in my prado...has all the main add ons, but I want to pull out the seats at build single bed and basic camper set up in it....any pointers for unbolting seats?
Hook a hose to the outlet tap and blast away. It will leak water from the breather when full. So many tanks on the market operate in this manner. Common as 👍
Looking brilliant. As. Pajero owner this build is very relevant. 2 questions - the Kaon tank - how do you fill it? And the QP awning - cost and benefits vs others of high quality & fully self supporting like Bush Company. Cheers lads 👍🏻
Can you add a long rang fuel tank on them? Or is the standard tank large enough. I'm looking to buy one. Set it up as a tourer plus towing a four man camper trailer. Also keeps the missus happy with shopping space and kid space for day to day use.
Ok when your cooking on that cooker how do you get the fat off your Prado. There was fat coming off your bacon everywhere. Can you cook under the awning.. now u gotta get your fat off your awning.. but looks great.. we think the cooker should at least be where the shelves are get away from truck a bit.
How is removing the 3rd row of seats that weighed 51.5kg & replacing it with a 50kg kitchen increasing weight? Of course one needs to fill all the nooks and crannies with a fridge, stove and food. What does one do, stay at home where the food is? 😂 Dude, nobody is forcing folks to install these and only people who spend a lot of time on The road probably will, there’s a limit to how comfy one can be living out of plastic boxes for…..plus as you get older & smarter you realise juggling plastic boxes that weighs 20-30kg each is a five way to f#ck one’s back, weekend etc etc. It always amuses me people watch random YT Videos and then start shouting at the clouds. What’s that about ? 🤷🏼♂️ Merry Xmas Perth Pete 👍
@@GR8Tmate you no nothing mate, you are obviously a very inexperienced overlander. You need to start reading books and start at 4WD 101. Have a great day.
@@perthpete7906 “You no nothing mate” doesn’t make any sense. Perhaps you meant, “You know nothing mate”? 🤔 Perth Pete, you have an interesting skill, one where you’ve convinced yourself that you can tell something about a person’s experience by a random comment that they make. 🙄 I probably forgotten more about outback travel than you’ve ever known. Let’s face it, someone else has something nice and you can’t afford it so you get all butt hurt. Sad to be you 😂
