Great video all round. I enjoyed it much, thank you :-) 1) An all oil shock is better for longevity than a gas oil shock. 2) ARM OME leaf springs are made in Indonesia and Malaysia. Choose wisely. 3) Greasable spring hangers are great and make life so easy. 4) Steel wheels, especially steel split rims MAY suit some users better in certain circumstances :-) I consider them a thing of beauty because they make life easy :-) 5) Safari Snorkel, when properly fitted and sealed is an asset to any overland conveyance. 6) I utilise a 10" Donaldson pre-cleaner on my 79 and a ram on my 200. There is ZERO difference in economy and noise. The pre-cleaner is a great idea, I recommend it. The ram does not give more power and the pre-cleaner does not restrict flow either. 7) We exclusively use EDS engineering for bash plates on our vehicles - Brendale QLD. 8) We use ARB bars exclusively but there are other tough bars out there these days. 9) Nice rear bar. We use Kaymar in Australia. They are better than the ARB unit. 10) Auxilliary fuel tanks should be plumbed so that they are independent of the other tank. 11) I like the dual battery holder although when one bolt comes loose you lose both batt's. (try to figure out what I mean). 12) A combi pintle with ball is superior for extractions and towing. 13) Long handled shovels are always more useful and practical. The good old 1HZ. I would have added porting, polishing and tuned extractors. I would have left the timing and fuel pump stock standard for reliability. And I would have added a Diesel Care secondary fuel filter. Every 4wd needs an air compressor and a tyre repair kit. And if anyone reads this far, Sandy Taupe is my favourite LC colour. When I'm chief overlord of the universe, LC's will only come in Sandy Taupe and ASP White Green.
Looking back at your past documentaries, I often wonder just how many of the modern overland products we're seeing now were actually conceptualized by you or Paul just being innovative. I so hope you see the immense credit you deserve, Andrew, in this culture called. overlanding.
I guess im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot my password. I love any assistance you can give me.
@Christian Roberto thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
HI there been an off road rat for 50 years, may have a tip for you.A happy New Year to you and the family .For pumping water from tank to tank.use a Schrader valve on thefull tank and use air hose from the spare wheel for pressure to get the water to the shower/ bowl/tank. Works for me
Great videos with lots of useful information for offroaders,campers, daytrippers, etc..even just for the curious. Thanks for sharing your expertise. Best regards, Power Wagon Owner
As always a lot of very useful informations. :) Greetings from Poland. :) At the end of the year I plan to go to Namibia and Botswana. It's all your influence. :)
I'm not sold on the argument against fuel jerry cans on the roof as presented here. If fuel is transferred into the primary tank as needed, the amount of time weight actually remains on the roof can be minimised. If the vehicle is used as a daily driver (and lets face it 95% plus of 4x4s are) then you are simply carrying around unnecessary extra fuel and tank weight if you e installed a long range tank. Jerrys also allow for simple transfer of fuel to other vehicles- useful if in convoy (as recommended for most remote trips). They are also significantly cheaper- savings that can be redistributed to other modifications that can improve safety or performance of a vehicle.
Mr J3nk0 In Africa the quality of the diesel is very suspect in remote areas, some stations might add kerosene to make profits and or the storage tanks don't drain regularly meaning they could hold allot of sediment which is not a good thing for the engine. A Long range tanks will get you between larger cities without chancing the bad fuel......This build is more specifically for Overlanding that calls for long distance driving thru very remote areas.
waashman No doubt they have their advantages - but all still possible for the minimal of extra effort when using the jerrys. All that extra weight constantly (just the tank alone) means extra stress on components and increases deterioration. Meaning upgrades to rectify or increased replacement frequencies. Most 4X4 buyers will never modify their trucks to this extent- so you are right perhaps this advise is only relevant to that 1% of buyers.
to keep that plastic cap on your sewer tube from coming off, you can rivet two tabs - one to the lid, and one to the tube, to the system, and put at small clip through it... This will keep that cap from spinning and coming off.
Very ilustrative video, Mr. Andrew St. Pierre. I wish you could present a video of how to equip a 2004 Mitsubishi Montero Limited (Pajero). My father is going to sell me his vehicle and I'd like to go off road. Thanks againg for your videos and for reading this.
Very interesting and informative. I would like to see how much dirt your air filter would have contained if you had driven in the number 2 position in the caravan.
How much weight all the options added to this Land Cruiser? It will be interesting to see you outfit your new one and to see where you safe weight! Will you install such a large fuel tank? Thanks for another great episode, however old!
Hi Andrew. How did the old man emu shocks pan out for you? I am thinking of adding these to our Jeep. Also I would like to make a statement of something I overheard once. I don't know if the statement is a fact or not. I was told that steel rims when hit from the side, your axle takes the damage. Versus aluminum rims are weaker and bend, therefore taking the damage and not putting as much stress on the axle. What is your take on this?
What are your thoughts on Solar Panels and Power going to Caravans/Trailers nowadays? with the advancement of technology, is it ok to now have your Fridge/Freezer in the Caravan/Trailer? Cheers as always, Love the Video's :) Don, Perth WA
Loved this video but wish there was an American version. I have to say I don’t think the air filter test at the end was fair. He showed how much dust was flying up into the air as he drove 99% of which never went near his snorkel air intake. Then says he was in the front most of the time lol. So his friend, who has a normal air intake, was basically driving through huge clouds of dust lol. Of course his friend’s air filter is going to be way dirtier lol A bit disingenuous if you ask me lol
Maybe. But only available to Hollywood producers. No TV network in the world broadcasted HD or even 720 in 2003. This was shot on 4:3 DV tape, the best accessible format of the time.
All good, I was just being cheeky. PS. Hollywood Producers were the last to move to HD, major film studios were reluctant due to the fact that preservation of data files was untested against the 100+ year history of film. A version of HD has been around since the 1930's but Japan was the first country in the world to broadcast in 1993 a modern HD signal. USA followed in 1996 and then the world broadcast in 1998 of an Astronaut mission into space (I believe it was John Glenn and my years could be +/- a year) Anyhow, this is all besides the point. Again, just been a cheeky bugger. DV was one of the best consumer available formats of the time. Your video looks great and is super informative regardless of the format! Cheers!!!
@@toddgiroux3531 Can't blame them for not wanting to compromise on the longevity and quality, you only have to look at some of the 80s TV shows filmed on video here in the UK the quality doesn't hold up today in the digital age
Hey Andrew... What's the defenders roof rack brand you recommended? i can not quite catch the name... Also i'm based in barcelona and most of the products you mention in your videos are not available here or if they are they tend to be ridiculously expensive.. any ideas?
True, but it was extremely expensive and NL editors that could handle HD cost about as much as going to the moon. A bit like 8K is now. We went HDV (720) in 2008 and HD in 2009, and 4K in 2018.
watching this video just makes me so jelous that he can get a toyota landcruiser diesel with solid axles at that time in an environment that its not going to rust out. bet there are tons of these lying around there that nobody thinks are worth anything....

you were very young in this episode, nice , i love watching your shows i learnt alot from you, thank you
A good movie.
I am waiting for a similar film but with your new car in the lead role.
As always a lot of very useful informations. :)
Greetings from Poland. :)
At the end of the year I plan to go to Namibia and Botswana. It's all your influence. :)
the fire extinguisher to to pump up tyres is fascinating and not seen in a long time...
Well done Andrew , very much looking forward to following the build. Good luck take care.
Solid spare wheel carrier is something what i really need in my Range Rover Classic :) But only for one spare, second place is for traps :)
Very much enjoyed this film and got some great ideas. Thanks so much.
great video as showing all way in 4x4
welcome to Australia
Another excellent video Andrew. As your new build reaches completion, you should consider doing a modern version.
Absolutely loving this video, very informative.
Really good advice, many thanks.
Excelent video, I did not know I had VHS films

Great Video. Only one comment. Your window tint is meant to go on the inside of the vehicle.
How much weight did you ad to the vehicle when upgrading ?
brilliant stuff Andrew!
Perfect for upgrading mine
How much weight all the options added to this Land Cruiser? It will be interesting to see you outfit your new one and to see where you safe weight! Will you install such a large fuel tank?
Thanks for another great episode, however old!
If you do suspension last you can more easily achieve the correct spring rates
Completely amazing vid. Thanks for sharing. What was the GVM in the end?
Who's the young guy presenting the video?

I know this is an old video, but shouldn't the solar film be on the inside of the window?.
Never the less this video is great!, thank you.
Yes, to protect the film, it is advisable to place the film on the inside of the windows. Also, don't buy the cheap ones. They are a waste of money.
3M Scotch Tint.
3M sux. Huper Optik Ceramic film WON'T fade and features higher heat rejection to visible light transmission ratio.
DON'T MEAN TOO BE TACKY. .. BUT... UMMMM. ..HOW MUCH $$$$$...DID ALL THAT COST?¿
much learned
who was towing the trailer you or your friend
Is it advisable to use mud flaps ?
This should have been uploaded to Pornhub not TH-cam 😵

That video was made a long time ago, and African Outback went out of business. Today, I would fit a K9 rack by Ezi-Awn.

Now you can just buy Landcruisers as dual cabs
How long ago was this?
Kevin and Jindi Behbahany the title says first made 2000, updated 2008
not bad not hugely useful for me don't have the kind of $$ it would cost to do that here in USA but enjoyed it and makes me want a snorkel even more
Congratulations. You made a junk yard of your car.

Why not just purchase a Dodge Power Wagon? Seems like Dodge did the things that you want.

If he was a real off-roader he would done most of this work his self not paying somebody to do it
