- The best 4x4 Overland Expo on Earth. Abenteuer & Allrad 2016
Abenteuer & Allrad is the largest dedicated overland and 4x4 expo in the world. It is not only the biggest event by number of visitors, but also with the quality and diversity of the exhibits. Better than ever, I report from this year's event, the 18th, from Bad Kissingen, Germany, May 26-29, 2016.
This video is by 4xOverland.com, makers of the world's favourite 4x4 and overland videos.
Africa Expedition in a Stock 4x4. Can it be done? 15/16. Lower Zambezi
Our expedition concludes just outside of the Lower Zambezi National park, camped at Mvuu (Hippo) Lodge on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River. kate goes fishing while I talk about what a rich, learning experience Zambia and Malawi has been.

I went this year and it was wonderful 😍 Also the organization is very friendly and they gave me press access so I could make a show report. But the best thing is the camping 😍 Because my 1965 unimog was broken I had to rent a vanlife van. But I parked it between a Man Kat 4x4 and VW T4 synchro. Total opposites of overlanding but that makes it interesting. Everyone has their own stories and experiences.
And it is a great place to meet other content creators.
I got recognized by 3 people 😄
Was nice to meet you on the show and look forward to see and hear more from you.
Leave it to the Germans to put on a good show, and leave it to you for bringing us a great channel!
You made plenty of valid points on this video, that only made absolute sense. You years of experience and honesty are very appreciated. Thank you for this! 👍
I have absolutely no interest in overlanding but it's such a joy to watch your vids. thanks :)
That does look like a great show to visit. I tried to avoid shows in general, but if I'm ever in a position to start travelling like that I'll definetely will go there first for inspiration.
BTW the last bit of abenteuer isn't pronounced as 'ture' but as 'toyer', the first bit is spot on. Makes you sound like you belong in The Eagle Has Landed, mixing abenteuer and adventure together.
excelent... thanks Andew
jajajajajaaa!!1 We're all chairmans here!!!
What a superb expo for 4x4 enthusiasts!
Great Job Andrew!
Andrew, this show looks amazing! The phrase "kid in a candy store" comes to mind when I see the look in your eyes. My wish list gets even longer seeing the products you spotlighted and even the things I catch out of the corner of my eye. I'd especially like to see more on the line of Volkswagen products that we'll never see here in the States:(
Great video thank you!
I have seen a few of your shows when I have to say I think this is your best one. The editing the sound and the overall quality were done really well.
I would love to film that expo. maybe I can get a company to sponsor my trip? lol its a long way away from Las Vegas where I'm from. great show! I can only enjoy the overland expo in Arizona for now.
Thanks for the video.
love your videos
Witty German joke and I love your unbiased views about all brands!
Hermosos coches, buen video felicitaciones.
As overlanding continues to grow here in the states, I hope to see more truck camper manufactures develop an "off road" camper like the Four Wheel Camper. Their a great alternative for the weekend warrior who does not want or can afford a dedicated rig.
Amazing
Damn I'd love to go there!
One day I will make it there... Thanks again for the report! Was cool to see you at the Overland Expo in Arizona. Will you have a video about that also?
So you've committed to the 6x6...This is going to be interesting.
My vote on most popular tires. BFG K02, Cooper AT3 and ST Maxx!
Its obviously a tough job Andrew, but someone has to do it. Well presented. Another difficult assignment if you are up for it, is the Perth 4WD show in November, in West Australia. Just go easy on the jokes ok.
Will be at the Perth show. No stand of my own, but I will be there for a visit and report.
All good, I hope you have an enjoyable trip then. cheers.
I don't know why I never commented on this, as I did explain the hardtop Land Cruisers in the first of your Abenteuer videos. :)
It obviously depends on the interior layout of those hard shell camper bodies with pop up tent tops, but I think it's about being able to choose depending on the climate. If you imagine doing an Alaska to Patagonia trip or similar, you can keep the top closed when the weather is bad or if it's cold in Alaska or whatever and simply sleep/live in the hard shell. But when you get the southern USA, Mexico, South America etc. you then have the option of popping the top and get more space and potentially sleeping up top if the layout permits it.
It's sort of like the Land Cruisers from Toms Fahrzeugtechnik in that sense I suspect. You can live inside of them and just keep the top closed if the weather is bad. But you still have the option of popping the top and enjoying the weather when you get to warmer regions. :)
I guess I should register a 6xoverland domain :D
7:35, that's great!
Didn't manage to visit this year... maybe next year...
Me encanta jeep y toyota.
Another excellent video, thank you. have you ever had the oportunity to look at the Earth Cruiser truck? they are an Ausie overlander that looks the DB'S.
Another great show ! I am gutted that I couldn't attend this year. Hopefully will be there for 2017 and arriving on 4 wheels instead of two like last year. Will you be returning next year Andrew ? It's a long way from Oz !
Btw, plenty of people take large vehicles to other continents all the time. They do often get broken into but from what I've heard it's simply about not having anything worth stealing in it during transport. If the crew steals a pot or a pan it's not like it's hard getting a new one in the USA, Australia or wherever you're going. You can make sure they see that it's basically an empty container when it's transported on to the ship... You could even leave it unlocked as the crew need the keys anywhere to get it to the ship. Then someone may open the door and realize there's nothing of value in it and leave again. Not a big issue.
Great channel, I love your insight. I have yet to see you do anything on Unimogs. Have you? To big? Or?
Brilliant joke 🙄😀
Love you channel and am planning to one day do some over landing too. Though real life does get in the way a lot.
Could you do some more TH-cam style long examples of some of the products. Showing us them in more detail. When you can't get to this kind of shows you lap up every bit you can get on TH-cam!
Hi, you need to see Earthcruiser, for your new land Cruiser!
G'day Andrew nice video & yes it seams to be a Hugh show well done to the organizers, it would be good to have shows like that hear in Australia. The one thing that amazed me was your purchase of the wind break devise with plastic hinges, I really do not see the worth in it because we all know that plastic hinges especially like the thin strip you have has no longevity it might be good for twelve months or so but it simply wont last mate.
MB, (WW2 vintage) a CJ2 has a bezel around the headlamp... ( I had a 48 CJ2A)
That i like, that new toy of you'r.......
Your comment about not finding Land Rover seems odd, considering the article at Expedition Portal reckons:
"Land Rover was once again the largest single exhibitor. " expeditionportal.com/abenteuer-allrad-2016-the-worlds-biggest-off-road-show/
The stand you found with Matzker - they're very well known Land Rover modifiers, both for overlanding and off road performance. The guy that started it up (Matzker himself) died recently, I think whilst overlanding.
When i was down in Ayr a few days ago i came across a Camper Van made by Hymer , Hymermobile Starline S Model , Door had a fine wire mesh door cover which allowed the main door to be left open but able to stop insects flying into the camper .. Also had a Satelite Dish fitted on the Roof . Maybe that is something it may/ might interest you . And the 6 wheeled Toyota you mentioned in this footage . How much would it cost to have one built Mobile home format basically all the requirements is all fitted no need for outside tent .. etc
I agree with your assessment that European camping tends to be too much focused to the inside/ indoor space. the Aussies are masters of outdoor integration. slide on campers like Trayon and Travellander for pickup flatbeds, and then their love for off-road campers trailers. the most amazing are tracktrailer tvan over patriot campers to full blown hybrid caravans by ultimate Nautilus or BruderX EXP.
In Europe you see beginnings of this trend even in the mainstream camper van conversion market like spacecamper with their swinging indoor outdoor kitchen for VW T5 and T6. or the British Auto Campers Leisure VA based on the brilliant Ford Custom / Small transit.
Clever indoor outdoor combinations will be one of the big trends globally in the camper / expedition industries
I wonder where can I get those plastic hinges as pikra used for their folding table, any ideas ? Very best Andrew !
Presume the dislikes was due to someone thinking they were going to see some funny cats or something.
Excellent as usual :) PS, How is the move to Australia going? (Only just seen the video you put out last july saying you were moving).
Nice gag :)
Hi Andrew
Years ago I came across a handwriten map in a 4x4 shop in Namibia. I am quite sure that it was made by you. Do you have this kind of maps still.. Do you have more of them (eks Namibia, Botswana) I would love to get my hands on them again
Would love to see what VW are offering with that high lift Transporter van.
Great Video i wish if you could review more stuff because you say your opinion no mater what the good bad and the ugly 😱 and if i am subscribed to this channel is for the love of adventure and overlanding and of course for the story telling 👍👍👍👍 not your love of Toyotas 😬
Andrew have you considered using American heavy duty pick-ups as a base for you next build? I know it might be inconvenient in terms of parts and maintenance but you would get much higher payload, space and arguably better on road performance from the diesel versions. What do you think?
What was the vehicle that you caught slightly on camera at 13.53/5mark ..
Looked like a APC style for public use ???
Thanks. Mostly inoffensive if you’re not a chairman’s yuk yuk yuk
Love British humour. Here's a good German knock-knock joke for ya: Knock, knock. VE VILL ASK DA QUESTIONS HERE!!
2:45 Definitely not a CJ2A! It is either a WW2 Willys MB or Ford GPW, but then again it could (very likely) be a Hotchkiss M201 (License built in France and in use by the French Army right up till the early-2000s).
Thanks. I know I could rely on a Jeep nut to explain the difference. The star of the entire show, this one. A real beauty.
I agree but leaning on the MB.
I watch your vids alot. Im looking for a batwing awning that will work on a trailer instead of the TV ive seen foxwing here in california, but it has way to many poles and tent pole lines,any suggestions?
Hi, Gwynn on behalf of Andrew....He (we) love the EasiAwn batwing awning.
plese show more vw transporter
So the 6x6 build is confirmed!?!?!
At 0:29 That very first white "troopy" gwagon camper (looks like it's on portal axles), anyone know who makes it?
So i might be a little late, but the vehicle is actually orange and made by a company with the very fitting name “Orangework“ .
checkout the French Gazell pickup cabins as well as their really intriguing Jeep Wrangler conversion. beautiful, lightweight . they might have been on the Tom's Fahrzeuge expo stand. www.gazell.fr
Thanks for the link! Really worth considering.
Picra guy is about to be sold out of every item in his inventory.
i cant seem to find the video of the death valley trip
That's because it is not completed editing yet.
4xOverland oh Right. looking forward to it then.
Don't mention the war - I did but I think I got away with it.......
Basil Fawlty.
It's pronounced Ah Ben Toy Er
I admire the inspiration you bring to over landing. I really do. I however find your bias against land rover a bit much. Let me objectively illustrate. On minute 2:42, you show an old vehicle that we cant buy anymore (1920 I jeep??) and your reaction is "This is nice to look at" on minute 11:22, you see a land rover and your reaction is "I don't get this, showing vehicles you cant buy anymore". I completely understand that you don't like land rovers, but do you have to bash them at any chance you get? You have proven it is possible to like land cruiser without bashing land rovers. This goes down better with your viewers and is proven by the number of viewers on your icarus video. Food for thought...
Have you heard zee Gestapo joke?
No I haven't.
(slap across face) LIAR!!!
I'm genuinely confused by these campers. I can understand a Jeep JKU with a fridge and other amenities (low center of gravity, still nimble, can go topless, etc.). At a certain point of upfitting, wouldn't it just make sense to get an RV?
I kind of see your point. Except the fact of the lack of 4 wheel drive, low range, and ground clearance (among others) that a RV would be lacking.
Yeah, I guess it's a case of the "different strokes for different folks". Some of these things are pretty monstrous.
I say that, but if I had a family, I'd definitely trade up my Jeep JKUR for a 79 series double cab, or even a Sportsmobile.
Some of these things are so big, they're limited to big open trails anyway. Even a Sportsmobile would be too big for the trails in Colorado, let alone these other monsters.
Like I said, different strokes for different folks. Not hating on them, I just think I'd go about it differently.
You wouldn't happen to be American by any chance, would you? :)
Overlanding seems to mean something completely different to Americans than to the rest of the world. Overlanding for Europeans etc. is a way of traveling. Not a weekend hobby involving driving along tracks.
The big overlanding trucks *are* essentially RVs but they're RVs that can go pretty much anywhere. Those people will drive from Germany to South Africa, drive around the world, drive around in places like Mongolia where you can have thousands of kilometers without paved roads, without gas stations, without shops etc.
You also see a clear difference between overland trucks from Europe and the USA. Even if the basic car is the same. Americans will lift theirs, mount massive wheels etc. which you'll very rarely see on European, African etc. overlanding trucks. It just makes the car less safe and worse to drive which isn't really that desirable when you're going to drive thousands of kilometers on shitty bumpy roads with huge holes.
For whatever reason it's like things change their meaning when they get to the USA. Everywhere else overlanding means traveling *over land*. Off-roading means driving *off the road*, backpacking means traveling around only with your backpack etc. "I went backpacking around South America for a year." and so on.
In the USA they all got transformed into weekend hobbies it seems. It's completely different to the rest of the world. That's probably where the confusion comes from. Overlanding doesn't always mean what you think it means. :)
The word Overlanding in America has been coined by companies that found a new market of people to sell over the top gear too. As an American myself, I can tell you that many people take pride in having the biggest, baddest rig with the coolest gear on the block, no matter how unpractical it may be for what they're actually going to use it for. For some, they're even status symbols. Companies have seen this and have brought all these new Overlanding product from around the world to the USA (which is actually good for), but they're selling it as if it's absolutely necessary for a weekend trip. I'm glad we have options, but I'm not going to get sucked into the gear grab myself.
hey brother you should get the old ticker checked out your not looking so good.
Thank you. My ticker is 100% perfect. Its called ageing. You have this problem also.
+4xOverland glad to here it. Thanks for the great videos.
11:35
Don't say that too loud in Europe, 80% of overlanders and offroaders use the Defender here :P
Because if you want something similar and capable of oofrad-use like a Landcruiser, you don't have much choice. Only real alternative is Mercedes G-wagon, and this you usually can't afford.
nice joke :D
Seriously, why can't you convince yourself to feel a bit patriotic and go for a Marauder conversion? You say, high vehicles might catch branches - not the Marauder, since you won't even hear as it drags along the occasional acacia tree… th-cam.com/video/cDoRmT0iRic/w-d-xo.html
South Africa actually started to get more and more independent from the UK (over a century ago...)
