Thank you so much for your support this year with the build. We couldn't have done it without you! 2025 will be the year of travels, where should we go? 🗺
Happy New Year from the 3 of us ❤️
P.S. We hope you stayed for the drone scene at the end 🤯
Drone video at the end. 😮
The skill, time and engineering is impressive. Chris is like a Swiss army knife! 😆👌🏼
More like a blunt butter knife.. but I'll take it! 😂 Thanks a lot for the Super Thanks!
@TheOutFit Haha fair enough, but he gets the job done. Thank you for sharing your adventure! So Inspiring to watch. Please get Oakley something fun for the cash 😁👌🏼
The van looks amazing inside and out , it’s definitely a winner.
Glad to see you changed that box in between the front seats with one that does not destroy your elbow!
14:20 , Very cute seeing dad playing with the little guy (recycling rocks, lol😂) outside in the bottom left screen while you’re doing the inside kitchen tour. These 304’s are such cool vehicles. If everything is set up correctly, they can go nearly anywhere. So, they make a terrific remote location camper. Nice job on the build!! 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Thanks
Thank you so much David, wishing you a happy new year!
I’m 6 days late to comment , but I knew this v-log would be good , so I pressed the like button after like 5 seconds 🤭
Happy New Year from Thailand 🇹🇭
What I like about you is how sincere and straightforward you are. Happy New Year !
You have done a fantastic job, being able to camp in remote areas really opens up the travel experience. I hope you end up in Morocco as you will absolutely love it. 🏴🏴🏴
You have me rethinking the rig we want for full time travel. Really enjoying this build!
For *full* time travel, clearly you'll need a TARDIS - no amount of driven wheels will get you to where you need to go ;)
Merry Christmas
Me and my family have just finished a 4 month trip in our Coaster and we are moving to Queenstown tomorrow to start our next adventure and next build. Taking time off to build our bus and travel as a family has been was the best decision we ever made and I love seeing you guys do the same with your little man.
Great video, you can see why so many western gunfighter movies are made in Spain with that incredible scenery.
Ange did a great job filming the opening!
Aww thank you for the nice compliment, it's always nice to hear!
Really nice job you three. All you need now is a dog to watch after the little one. Smile
at 1:04, I did the same there with my G class and thought 'this is why I have a G class, river crossing !' 🤣
Love it.... sunday night. On my television. Watching your adventures. Thanks guys. Love the walk arround the Volvo❤❤❤
Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment!
@TheOutFit
Np at all just love it! Wishing you three a happy and loving and safe 2025 guys. See you soon on your channel❤️☀️🚐🥂🎇🎇🎆🎉
Fantastic run through episode, thanks for taking us on the journey
Thank you so much Sean, wishing you a happy New Year :)
@TheOutFit and to you guys too
This is getting cinematic day by day 🔥🔥🔥
I have always wanted to know about volvo 6×6 and it has been fascinating to watched all your videos for the past week. I really appreciate your efforts.
One of the best off road builds on utube believe me a real credit to both of two best🦘👍😁🐝
Excellent walk around of a very unique and personal build. Well done and be safe!!
Such a great build! I remember the sweat and tears during the process, now several months later, it certainly paid off. Happy New Year!!
Thank you so much for following along Gustavo!
I truly enjoyed the adventure you just brought me through. What an inspirational video for the outdoor excursions we all want to experience.
I drove it's "little brother" the C303 (tgb11) in the army, VERY noisy driving on road but when you go off road it's a BEAST, nearly unstoppable or that's what it feels like... Most important thing when driving off road, mind you thumbs, that steering wheel can whip hard on you.
Good luck on your adventures, nice to see an old swedish workhorse still going strong and in a more peaceful purpose than it was originally built for! 👍🏻
@38:06, To top of the Blinker fluid, classic!! :)
So many people forget
For watching!!!
Lots of hard work paid off for you. Looking forward to a New Year. Hope you have a nice one!
Thanks a lot for watching Jack!
One of my favorite you tubers,best wishes to you guys
Guten Morgen, ein neues Jahr und alles Glück dieser Welt, für Euch !
Really nice vehicle walk around (& drone scene). Happy trails & Merry Good Year!
Thank you so much Mattias for watching and subscribing to the channel, it means a lot!
Nice video, spectacular views from Spain and impressive work you have done with the Volvo! Happy holidays!
What a fascinating process and journey you 3 are having, a complete inspiration and a whole meaning for living your life by your own standards. ¡¡Pura Vida and Happy New Year!!
If you’re going through Spain, perhaps do some exploring the south of Spain and perhaps cross over to Morocco by ferry and take the 6x6 into the dessert for some crazy off-road fun
Nice video as always you guys, thanks for taking the time to explain things so well, your whole set up is awesome, thanks for sharing. Been where you are, Spain has some amazing terrain and its nice to see someone enjoying it in true Overlanding spirit. Enjoy yourselves and all the very best to you for 2025.
Merry Christmas to you. This vehicle is an amazing accomplishment that the both of you have constructed. Craftsmen indeed, well done and stay safe. Also, such incredible scenery that you have photographed in your videos. Thank you.
Another great episode, I’m actually speechless as you continue to provide fantastic info of your experience. Happy New Year to the three of you and I look forward to more of the Bowser adventures 👌
Merry Christmas guys. Travel safe and I look forward to your vlogs in 2025 🙏
WOW!!! Your rig is the best, coolest out there!!!
Thanks for sharing your adventures!!
Wishing you all the best for the new year!!!
living the dream! happy new year :)
Thanks for watching Nick!
enjoyed every part of the vid .even though i watched the complete build their was a lot missed .fantastic build and looks like a lot learnt from the mog ,i do remember the water in the mog ..turned out to be a very capable machine .looking foward to the new year and fantastic scenery and film footage .stay safe and enjoy
Compact 6x6 off road van👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great Video and happy holidays! Cheers from the US !
The intro's are awesome lately!!
Thanks Klaas for the nice feedback!
Congratulations to all of you on the inventive and thoughtful rebuild of your truck! All the best to you as you continue to seek adventures and share them with the rest of us. Family is, whatever the configuration, the greatest adventure of all; adding children is an additional layer of craziness and richness. Happy 2025 to you! 🌞
Merry Christmas (Belated ) to you Angie, Chris and Oakley, and what a lovely place to have it. I wish all the best for you in '25 too.
Glad you got into better weather for winter, 0° and freezing fog last night here in 'D' 😕
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Coolbellup guys
Happy New Year to you guys too! Looking forward to following your adventures in the new year. Take care!
That rig is a beast!!
if you take a couple degrees of timing out of it that should help your pinging, it would be so easy with that thing you could almost adjust it per fuel tank.
I used to ride in those in the army, we used them as command and radio. We still use them in some degree but for 16 years i rode in them and tgb 20 😅
EPIC video guys, thank you!
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment John!
Low range without the front axle engaged would be a cool option in that 6x6. Easier to stear, save the equipment, etc..
Thank you for your vids. I want one now. That thing is crazy
Merry Christmas and happy New Year from the PNW! You guys did such a great job with everything!! I think my favorite part of the truck is the water system! Actually-I like everything-hahaha! Thanks for sharing very impressive.
Chris, make a small pericope with lighting if neccesary to see the panels in the powersystem. Just with two mirrors in a board or on a stick! :)
Beautiful scenery!
Happy new year to all of you.
This Volvo truck is awesome 👍🏻
I loved the video.
Glad to hear, thank you so much for watching!
Fantastic video, informative and a lovely balanced view of life on the road. Looking forward to the engine swap ......have a great 2025 and thanks for the videos to date...
That thing is sweet!
Happy New Year
Oh, and a happy new year!!
beautiful truck -- makes me thing again about my own!
That must be awesome.
What an ALSOM RIG! The only change I would make is adding an overlandind trailer. Then you could have more water, fuel, outdoor kitchen, storage and room for a canoe, bikes, etcetera. 🎉HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉 From the USA❤
Suggestion: In the Kitchen, your drawer handle closures... If you took those small wood blocks off, drilled a shallow hole...you could glue in a strong but tiny magnet, then on the drawer face, you could adhere/embed a small piece of steel/iron. I could see those retainer clips starting to lose their friction over time, so having a hidden magnet closure would be perfect! (it'd be a fun little indoor project too...just need a small forstner bit to gouge a shallow recess for the neodymium magnet coins)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎆🎊🎈!!!!
Truck envy! Amazing work. Looks incredible!
People don't realize just how much we "cage" ourselves into an itty bitty corner of reality, when you as a family discover just how vast the Nature of Earth is, looking at all those miles of Nature untouched by "man" awakens one to a higher level of Awareness.
The blinker fluid. 😂 nice.
Whoa!!! SO COOL!! 😊💖
Thanks a lot for the tour around your vehicle. A diesel engine swap would be great for the vehicle.
I would be interested in your tools and processes around the video editing - just to understand the work involved doing such great cineastic content. All the best for 2025!
Have been watching you with the MOG and now the Volvo (both toys I would love to own) and it has been a serious adventure. Now with a 3rd wheel it must be even more challenging. Can't wait to see your next adventure. Happy New Year
I love the blend of nostalgia and practicality in your build. But honestly, would you recommend this lifestyle with a toddler, or is it too much work?
We have never lived in a house with Oakley so for us/him this nomadic lifestyle is the norm. It may be harder to transition/downsize from a house to a vehicle but at the end of the day, parenting, no matter where you do it from, will have its challenges. You may as well do it with the nice views if you can 😊😅
Also I (Ange) personally think overlanding with a toddler is easier than travelling by plane and going to hotels for example because you can stop whenever you want, you can still create a routine on the road, carry toys etc. Also only having one child is probably more manageable. Hope that helps :)
Your best vídeo 💪
Feliz 2025 !
Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
Thanks for the tour! Happy Holidays!
Really nice machine
Happy new year :) and bee safe on the roads
epic rig
Keep living the dream.
Happy new year!
Hope you fulfil all your new year travel plans.
Great job on the van. Spectaular scenery in Spain. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
You did a marvelous job on the conversión, really Love it and even keeping Oakley comfortable and happy! Thanks for the tour and beautiful drone footage. Happy New Year lovely family 🥂🙌🎉💛💛💛
Just a really nice setup ! Well done 👍
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. I wish you a happy 2025
Great job showing off your super camper, the attention to detail shows throughout, well done 👍
The camera work and scenery are epic and those tapas looked amazing. Nothing beats Spanish chorizo, yum.😋
Wishing you a Healthy Happy New Year. Looking forward to whatever and wherever you take us next year…😊
All the Best
Lou from Miami 🇺🇸
Thank you Lou for all your lovely comments this year and for following along our adventures! Have a great end of 2024 :)
In the final stages of a Landrover Forward Control build. 1965 S11A.
I have been looking forward to peering through the tiny window, but you have me questioning that thought.
I think I have more knee room. But your shifter looks more fun.
The FC is basically stock. And I am always interested in your upgrades.
My plan is a canvas roof with a double bed and small kitchenette. Long term.
Short term goal is to go up hills, shoot deer. Camp.
You guys are a great source of motivation and ideas.
Very wonderful so nice ❤❤❤❤god bless your adventures 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for a great tour of the camper. a huge inspiration for us and we learned a lot. happy 2025 and have a safe and healthy journey.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Great show and tell video. We like how you built it out. Happy travels.
Thank you for sharing the build, the travels and your family with us armchair travelers! May you go into 2025 with all 3 diff locks locked!!!!! Wishing you safe travels and awesome memories!!! Be safe!
My wife noticed your ikea baby monkey above the car seat. Glad to see another family of culture on here 😂😂
Ahah I love that she noticed it 🤣 we also have the elephant, the bee and the lion! 😅
Lovely Volvo!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year guys, love the drone shots, stay safe , cheers , Garry from DownUnder
Now that’s cool 😎
44:31 Wow! I was wondering why Camper Food always taste the best even how simple it is 😋😋
Great walk around. Hope you bring that beast to Arizona one day! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Thank you so much Chris, we look forward to exploring Arizona one day! Have a great end of 2024 :)
Happy Xmas Season to you 3.
I have been following your channel for a while and I would like to thank you for your shares... It's been quite an interesting journey.
I am based in Porto, Portugal... Feel free to keep in touch in case you'll be around...
All the best for 2025!
Very cool Van/truck
Great vid with the two noisy roof top fans try a variable fan speed controller. For a similar job i put them on a waeco 220l fridge condenser. The advantage is you can set the working range the controller sends power to the fans with and the amount of current. The greater the difference the set temp is from the actual temp the faster the fans run. With this my fans instead of 100% all the time spend most of the time at around 15% speed so they are super quiet. Imagine at night your set temp is 20c the actual temp 25c but the max speed set at 30c. At 25c 50% power, 24c 40% power, 23c 30% power, 22c 20% power, 21c 10% power, 20c auto stop. They are on ebay dual fan 12v controller fully programable. Good luck
