A bit of footage from our holiday trip from Denmark through Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia Herzegovina.
Not hardcore off-road, but a lot more fun than driving on pavement all the way. - the inclines are somewhat steeper than it seems on video though :-)

Such a nice build, i've been wanting to do a similar project with a C304 for some time, it was really nice that someone else has already done it before.

What a weapon! Love that truck mate. Thanks for taking us on that trip with you. Cheers for sharing :)

You are a lucky guy! Nice car, nice girl, a lot of time :-D.

@keeferzjr 7 лет назад

A great trip! I love the vehicle. If we ever get any zombies, you are all set!

@tth0313 11 лет назад

Thank you :-) Most parts are available and not very expensive - brakes are the sames as Land Rover Series, but most other parts are can be ordered through Volvo Truck dealers i think. (if you know the part numbers) But i've heard that axles can be difficult to find. We haven't had much problems, so haven't bought that much parts :-)

Great Truck and Video ! I love the TGB 13 ..... i build an TGB 13 in 1:10. GREAT VIDEO !

@tth0313 10 лет назад

Yes i saw that - fantastic build! You have some amazing skills :-) I would love to buy one from you, but i guess that i would be pretty expensive considering the parts and the time spend :-)

По каким критериям лучше всего сравнить надежность Вольво и Мазды? Как правильно сравнить? По каким критериям лучше проводить сравнение? Что нужно для этого? Подскажите, пожалуйста, кто знает.

Nice girlfriend, perfect car, good trip but I don't see any off road experience on this video. This car is excellent for heavy off road but any models of Land Cruisers are better for such kind of expeditions. I know, it is not easy to found wild extreme roads in Europe. Welcome to Russia. You will have a chance to use all benefits of this car and see a wonderful wild places as a reward.

Sensationell...

@pellcio 9 лет назад

Does it have the stock B30 6 cylinder engine or something else. Sounds like a diesel, maybe but I can't tell on my laptop speakers. If so, what kind of swap? I drove one of these in Southern California about 10 years ago and fell in love with it. Unfortunately my friend was afraid of something breaking and not being able to fix it. Thank you.

@jjt1093 7 лет назад

Great vids guys, wondering if you might be willing to share routes ?, building my own vehicle and going through the Laplands next spring but don't want to be on pavement :)

@ChristinaColoradoan 8 лет назад

I know that's a tremendous vehicle, I'm sorry to say I don't feel that it was challenged at all in this video. A run of the mill 2 wheel drive could have gotten over most of that terrain and a 4x4 would have had 0 problems. Perhaps there's another video that showcases that beast. 🌞🌞🌞

@tth0313 8 лет назад

+Christina Coloradoan You are absolutely right! As stated in the text; it is a vacaition trip, not an offroad trophy :-) And i would guess that most of the world can be seen in a 2wd Peugeot, for us its just more fun this way :-)

@ChristinaColoradoan 8 лет назад

Raredog sorry, I obviously didn't read the description...

@Zhendoz 5 лет назад

I realize it’s been a long time sin e you posted this video but will still give it a try. I am in the middle of restoring tgb11 and the plan is to hit the road in spring. Do you have any tracks left from this trip or any others that you have made? Kind regards, Jev Lithuania

@KlajniKleiner 7 лет назад

hi, great video, congratz, did you travel form DK to Balkans witout using the black roads- totally ? :) ?

@kumbackquatsta 11 лет назад

@Prestonesfpv 7 лет назад

Det er godt nok en fin gammel volvo!! Den kunne være hyggelig at have til at tulre rundt og overnatte i :)

@superbuggah 3 года назад

What mpg are you getting now it has the OM603?

@Ariranhaa 10 лет назад

Nice video, man. How much did the truck cost to you and how much do you think it costs yearly with maintenance? Thanks!

@tth0313 9 лет назад

Yearly costs arent very high, as we haven't had any major problems, but they are a bit hard to find in good shape :-)

@jaggernutox 8 лет назад

so i have been thinking about getting one of these, and just wondering, how is the sound Level inside the Cab? how much fuel does it use per 100 KM? and how comfortable is it to drive over longer distances, does it require a trip to the garage every 10 kilometers for repairs, or are they reliable?

@HD373 10 лет назад

hej, en super bil og film, har du standard motoren i? "B30", har selv en C303, som jeg er igang med at lave til en CAMPER, så skal den ud at rejse :) MVH fra Færøerne

@tth0313 9 лет назад

Hej Nej der en 300d i, men fantastisk rejsebil, du kan godt begynde at glæde dig :-)

@NasserAlhameli 9 лет назад

I had a hard time finding like these,,, I heard that 6x6 is much nicer on harsh bumpy roads,, is that right?

@tth0313 8 лет назад

+Nasser Alhameli Yes, the front behaves like any other 4x4 when hitting bumps, but the rear boogie almost eliminates them, so you only feel half of the bumps :-)

@Volvo1969 10 лет назад

You have a really patient girlfriend/friend! :) what engine do you have? I can hear that you have replaced the original B30. Regards from Sweden!

@tth0313 10 лет назад

Yes she is lovely - but a bit tired the morning i woke her up and needed her help for the winching :-) Its a OM603 - runs great and cheaper on fuel than the B30 :-)

@NasserAlhameli 9 лет назад

Would you please tell me, is this truck diesel or gas? and which would be better?

@paulhartzer10 8 лет назад

it is diesel of course. You need to get a lot of Power for the engine, speed isnt that important. Also, gas would be way too expensive.

@tth0313 8 лет назад

+Nasser Alhameli It is originally a gas engine, but it is converted to diesel: www.tgb13.raredog.dk

@mariusb9307 5 лет назад

was it mb 3l diesel insted stock petrol?

@tth0313 5 лет назад

Yes, slow as a turtle, but bulletproof 🙂🙂

@thomasfuruvik2310 9 лет назад

Hi. Nice ride! What does the interior look like?

@tth0313 8 лет назад

+Thomas Furuvik you can see more pictures of it on our blog: www.tgb13.raredog.dk - there is a lot of pictures of the build :-) and thanks!

@chongsfury4358 7 лет назад

how good are these things in deep snow?

@tth0313 7 лет назад

They are very capable, we have driven in about 1m, new, loose snow without chains :) you can see some old footage from the swedish armys inital test in 4x4,6x6 and 8x8 prototype vs Unimog here; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nmYI_FDKQ0s.html

@janvanbesouw262 9 лет назад

That a verry nice co driver you have there ;-) Can i borrow her to show me the way too ?

@jamesbradley1695 9 лет назад

+Jan van Besouw Yes, it makes all the difference to have good (and helpful) company!

@tth0313 8 лет назад

+Jan van Besouw Unfortunately (for you that is) i need her as we soon are going for a long trip to Africa :-)

@johnsomerset1510 8 лет назад

+Abd ul aziz Lighten up man. Besouw is obviously joking and Raredog never took offence anyway!!!!

@azadam1000 8 лет назад

John Somerset I don't know raredog or Besouw personally . In my culture you do not make jokes about wives , sisters , mothers of others but I guess I should get used to it . Thanks for your comment and God bless you

@tth0313 8 лет назад

In Denmark we always make fun of each other, and mothers, wives and sisters, so we are used to it - but we have to learn that it doesn't apply everywhere in the world :-)

@johnarizona3820 9 лет назад

If that winch line snapped it would sting ya girlie. better to stand at more of a 90 deg.

@clobbyhops 8 лет назад

should of had bog tires on

@tth0313 8 лет назад

+clobbyhops Yeah, but then the 113hp wouldn't be enough - and it would probably be a bit harsh on paved roads :-) Its a motorhome, not a trail-rig :-)

@calthmlikiseethm704 9 лет назад

Not really off-road... except for the part that you were stuck. ..

@tth0313 9 лет назад

No its not hardcore offroad racing, but then again - its a holiday trip, not a race :-)

@vr7515 3 месяца назад

Do You even know what "offroad" means? But as rough road trip it is ok:) But

@tth0313 3 месяца назад

Yes, and here is the definition from the Oxford Dictionary, in case you don't know: "off-road /ˌɒfˈrəʊd/ adverb adverb: offroad away from the road; on rough terrain." If you ever where to take your rare car, thousands of kms from home, and days away from any help - you would probably understand how to take care of it, instead of bashing it... - Besides that, you can take a look at the videos, where I am using my Samurai in competions ;-)
