Ep17 Ultimate Toyota Hilux Overlanding Rig Walk Around ROAM 2 0
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 พ.ค. 2024
- The Much Anticipated Vehicle Walk Around. This is a custom of the Overlanding world; that when you reach a certain point of completion on your build, that you. walk around and show everyone what you've been up too! Today we cover everything from under the hood to in the canopy and everything inbetween! The Toyota Hilux build has been an incredible experience, watching it go from a 4x4 Rental, and step by step turning into an EPIC Overlander! I have been privileged to work with all the companies that got involved with the build and to also share it with such an awesome audience! Sit back, relax and enjoy!

Most underrated channel. He deserves million+ subscribers
Thanks Nilesh! Maybe one day! But I’m not chasing numbers, I’m chasing quality viewers 🙏🏻
@@RoamOverlanding and you're a quality content provider buddy!
I couldn't agree more.Am getting a lot of ideas from this guy.
Love From Pakistan .. You're more than Welcome in Pakistan in My House ...❣️
Yes
Hi, thas a very Overland Truck 10/10 . Love this truck . Well built.
Wow nice toyota hilux for South Africa overlander son....good luck for your adventure..
Wow what an incredible transformation of your Rig. I really loved the way you so passionately spoke about it. Wish you Good Luck
Great video! One thing - Never put any heavy stuff like a spare wheel up so high, keep all your heavy stuff like water, spare wheel ect as low as possible...
Love from INDIA, kerala🥰🥰
Great build up. Looks good and opens up the outdoor! You must have the budget, but hey, if you have it, you have it! ENJOY! Thank you for your program!
Thanks Frans! Lots of help from Sponsors to make it all happen, it’s definitely a teamwork! The vehicle has changes so much I’ll need to do a new walk around soon😂
This was absolutely awesome. I agree with Nelesh - you deserve tons of subscribers. Thank you for your inputs
Awsome , love your Rig and very informative !!👍👍👍
You've said it all loud and clear, thank you very much for this video and sharing much appreciated
Some of the best content around😉
Thanks buddy! I appreciate the kind words 🤟🏻
So nice to mention my country KENYA🤗Welcome if you were to come
Dude you are living the life. I have a Ford Ranger that I want to kit to almost exactly the point you have done your Hilux. Drooling watching your videos. Well done!
One of thé most thought through builds I've ever seen. That spare on top of cab is just 👌🏻... Good job 👍🏻👊🏻
Glad you like it!
what if it rains haha
This beast is a dream, I must say it is the most uniquely built overlander out there...🐎
So basically this vlog is ROAM OverHilux😃
A whole new level after jimny
I'm really amazed how you built that kind of paradise
Wow 😉 What a great built. Congratulations to this outstanding Overlander 👍👍
ADRIAN this is great stuff I like it I'm watching it in the early hours of the Monday morning keep it up
good work! gained a few ideas for my build. thanks.
Glad I could help
Thank you for the top quality video. It's great to see local SA build guides and information sharing relevant to our own conditions.
I am convinced / overwhelmed. Your walkaround was excellent. As a future overlanding traveler, this is my vehicle and the way I would like to rig my 2.4 CD6 Hilux. Thank you and hope we meet in the bush somewhere sometime. Good luck and safe overlanding.
Really loved the video series. One of the most impressive vehicles I have ever seen. Many safe travels!
You make such awesome builds! This is premium content, this and the Jimny series too! Always looking forward to your videos! 🇰🇪
Glad you enjoy it!
Thanks for the great content! Looking forward to see your new adventures with the Hilux!
Kudos to your camera person, they did an excellent job and really held the camera steady. I really like the build of the Hi-Lux now. Again, I wish we got them in the United States.
Thanks John! I’ll pass on the feedback to Roelf; his arms were dying holding the big gimbal! 😂
Awesome build, very well thought out! And the colour is something else, congratulations. Looking forward to the next videos with the Hilux in action ;)
I love what you've done with the Hilux, it's ready for anything. Literally get in and go. Kudos
100% thanks brother!
You gonna want to upgrade the intercooler on there, you wont regret. Dash is a bit cluttered but thats just my opinion. Love the build looks good and practical.
Good stuff Bud. Keep the videos coming. Great work
Thanks for the video. Great summary of everything you did to the vehicle! You've come a long way since you started 💪🏼
I appreciate that!
Awsome review hope to someday get close to having this build keep safe!
I'm in kenya welcome to kenya i love your overlanding
Saw you standing out of Woolworths Village Square, beautiful rig. DURBANVILLE
many thanks, it´s a complete guide!!!
New subscriber 🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼
Awesome! Thank you!
Excellent content Adrian. Watched the Jimny and Hilux series. Subscribed after watching the first video. Excellent content and super proud that you are highlighting South Africa. Only problem is that I am now super confused. I was convinced that I was going to buy a Jimny now I want a Hilux.
Great building serie Adrian! Really loved to watch it. Thanks as well for sharing all the products u used, very helpful! Hopefully you will create some footage about your future trips. Good luck, cheers!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 👌🏻 I know it’s difficult sometimes to spot all the little things in the videos so I always try make atleast one video to show as many details as possible... I still missed stuff 😂
@@RoamOverlanding Can imagine you mist stuff. I learned a lot watching your video's and get inspired to improve my hilux as well. The first thing I am going to improve are my supspensions :-)
I'm with cross country insurance aswel and they have been good.. Really recommend them..... Nice hilux
Now i know why you picked the 2.4, your upgrades are worth another hilux. Haha
Awesome build
Am from Kenya i have followed up on this transformation from the first episode.
This is good work, am surely purchasing a hilux soon enough and get all this done.
Hopefully i get all the accesories here.
That’s awesome! Goodluck on your build and thanks for watching!
Damn your videos are so calm and peaceful yet full of content and information. You’re an overland legend!
Yes No doubt about it.
You have a really nice Hilux, i want mine to look like that one day, looks very expensive
Enjoyed watching the build up of this Roam Beast , would love to see it take on the Richterveld and Van Zyl Pass in the Kaokoland
Oh! That would be amazing
💥 Boom what a intro! Now take that thing to what it is build for and bring us some more of that awesome footage. Lekka Adrian.
Out and about right now! Stay tuned!
It is great build, the most important thing is that you should feel comfy in it. 👍👍
Oh for sure! It’s especially nice in that sense! I just want to add abit more sound deadening in the cabin 👌🏻
just found your channel and spent a couple of days checking out your luxie build - awesome !!!
So cool to hear! Welcome!
Love you bro and your Hilux❤️❤️
awesome build👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Amazing review.
I'd also add a PLB (Personal Locator Beacon) in your grab bag.
thank ;you nice comentory
Looks good, enjoyed the build series
Great to hear! Thanks Leenerd!
Thanks for the video. These are some interesting thoughts and upgrades you showcased. Also, it's quite epic to be able to buy insurance which is off-road "rated". Never heard of a similar option here in the EU. Best of luck from followers here in Lithuania!
Thanks so much Martynas! 🤟🏻
👏🏻 👏🏻 Well done Adrian you did a wonderful job with your build and you love what you do every step of the way ~ now for the adventures ~ 🚙 💨
For sure! Been packing the car all evening so far! Leaving bright and early tomorrow AM
@@RoamOverlanding yeah - happy packing
@@RoamOverlanding Am an Aussie with a Jimny GLX on order and would love to have your input on the roof-top load you were putting on the Eezi-Awn roof rack when you had the Jimny. In Aus we reportedly have a 30kg limit on roof top loads for the vehicle but it seems to me you must have had much more weight up there than that: a couple of full jerry cans alone would take you over. Did you ever have any trouble? Very much like the look of the Eezi-Awn rack with those four supports each side. Looks much more secure than any of the local products. Would greatly appreciate your input.
Dope!
Yea cool build and great vid bro, I’m purchasing a 2021 SR5 in early October and I have a set of those Pro Comp 5035 Predator rims sitting at my local Tyrepower waiting to be fitted when I pick up my new 4x4.
Good choice!
amazing video. 👍👍❤️
Хорошо и по уму все сделано!
Great videos.... Do you have a product code on the OEM snorkel!?
great 👍
Great build with well orginised. Where did you get the canvas bags with the clear tops that you use in your draws?
I got them from Outdoorwarehouse 👌🏻
@@RoamOverlanding thanks so much
Still want a Jimny. Can you please let me know the approx pricing of a kitted out one. Can be a previous model as well. Just a ball park figure. Great channel. Thanks a ton.
Great build, especially when you don't have the budget of some of the others!
And this is more than overkill! I think you could dial it back quite abit and still have a really amazing setup!
Definitely
Maybe one day u will finally get a Toyota land cruiser double cab lx v8 and turn it in to a beast
Hahah maybe! But I’ll need lots of Patreon support to afford the fuel 😂
🙌🏻 love the channel
Thanks Boety! Got lots of lekker adventures coming up soon!
@@RoamOverlanding can’t wait😎
I want to see trips and i want to see the car working (offroad)! But good work so far!
I’m packing the vehicle right now 👌🏻
Looks heavy, do you not have vehicle weight limits in SA, I noticed you didn’t mention GVM upgrade with the suspension?
Adrian if i may ask where did you get the decal sticker "Roam overlanding "made up
Hey JP its a company in Honeydew called Branding Zone bit.ly/BrandingZone here is a link
Have loved watching the build progress, can you tell me how much the truck weighs when loaded with fuel, water, food etc ?
That is something I would like to find out myself
i would lime to know how the Jackery differs from the nationalluna? what would u do with the one vs the other?
The Jackery charges at 10A max vs 25A max for the NL Greenbox; The NL is a more reliable power delivery for say a camping fridge. You can also scale up the battery on a NL to a high capacity if you wanted too. The down side though then is that you will need to add an inverter for clean AC power and that can get quite expensive to get good quality inverters; but you can then scale it up to more output than the jackery, so again the Jackery is an off the shelf option that requires little hard installation into the vehicle. The NL needs cables run from the battery directly to the charger etc. So if you have to balance the price, the jackery is good value, but less versatile in some ways!
Well done Adrian. So whats next for Roam Overland? What trips can we look forward to? You have tough luxxie now, so maybe its time to tackle an equally tough trail? Perhaps Baboons pass? 😈😁
I’ve just finished three provinces! So expect that soon and then some really nice surprises
Kick that Luxy ass brother!! Keep it up!! Cheers!!
Mabuasehube Trip 👍🏻
Very cool liked it all but just a question what jack are you using of luck for the future
The Jack... the horrible horrible horrible one from Toyota :( going to definitely buy a better one
I was wondering if you Have an extended fuel tank/water tank underneath your vehicle and if you carry Jerry cans put them?
Hey Ian! I do have a 65L extra diesel tank under the rear of the vehicle 👍🏻
@@RoamOverlanding and what water storage do you have?
@@Lairdofsaltire this setup uses a 55L water tank behind the drawer system
Hi Adrian . Its a well built Hilux fill it with diesel and go explore . If I could make one recommendation , Speak to Kallie at EFS Africa they are importing Browndavis 150 LT replacement tank for the N80 Hilux , This would get your spare wheel back in its original position and remove the weight from the roof .
Hey Richard; if I had the bucks for that it would be amazing 👌🏻 unfortunately it’s travel time; and I need every cent I can get to keep making content. That’s why I rely on sponsors so much; we all know travel ain’t cheap! But maybe something for the future; who knows!
Please don't take this the wrong way, I am not criticizing your decision to get a bigger, more versatile vehicle, as it makes perfect sense in every measurable metric.
However, I really wish you could've kept the Jimny, or replaced it with a vehicle with equal charm and soul. As capable as the Hilux is, it leaves one feeling cold and not emotionally invested in the films like the Jimny did. There is a trio of South African overlanders who regularly do trips in their 3 Toyota's, and they do amazing trips, yet I never go back to re-watch their trips...but with the Jimny I go back to watch episodes I'd already seen over and again (eg. S1E33).
The Jimny is flawed, we all know that (and i'm sure you know this better than most), but it is exactly that fact that makes us fall in love with it. The 'Lux is a great all-rounder, but that unfortunately does not equate to a character that we as the audience feel strongly about, or find loveable. As Jeremy Clarkson famously said when comparing the technically superior McLaren MP4-12C to the 458, "Germany is clean and run efficiently...but nobody wants to go on holiday in Germany"
I do appreciate your work though and think your storytelling skills are on point. You've done a great job and I congratulate you for all the success you have had thus far.
between the new RS and the roam 2.4, i would choose the roam 2.4 build anytime
Hahah that’s awesome buddy!
where did you buy the fuel filter in SA
From Terrain Tamer South Africa; you can email Marinus@donkyatt.com.au
nice..keren 👍
Great vid mate. What is the fuel consumption per 100km? Do you think chipping the rig has actually significantly help bring down consumption?
Hey Zacks! Fuel consumption varies between 10.5-12.5L/100km depending on wind and load 👌🏻 hoping to try get it even better on this next trip!
@@RoamOverlanding that's definitely better than what i had in mind. Thanks mate
Do you still miss the jimny ?
Where did you get hold of the front bumper is SA??
They are manufactured here, just get in touch with Onca 4x4
Thanks a lot!!
Quick question, why most ppl never opt for the chopped off loading bin for a tray and custom canopy in RSA?
There haven’t been very many options in SA until recently. Maybe you’ll be seeing one of those on the Hilux one of these days soon
Hi, could you pleas, advise an air compressor (to flat tires)????
you can just get one from your local 4x4 shop; I use a generic 160L/Min one and have it wired to my battery
many thanks!!!
Hi there , What made you get 31” tires and not 33” or bigger ?
Gear ratios would be thrown out, it would lose power, increase fuel consumption and rub on the body too
@@RoamOverlanding right on . I like the look of it . Thanks for your time . Keep up the content . I will subscribe
I might of missed it, but did you put any kind of transmission cooler on your vehicle? Keep up the great content!
Nothing hey 👍🏻
Hey there. Where did you buy the snorkel? As result of your videos I paid my dep to bushtec yesterday. Almost the same setup as yours. 💪🏻
That is so awesome Stefan! This snorkel is from Toyota but I regret getting it, I should have gotten the one from Safari (I believe terrain tamer SA stock them, I can give you contact details if you need) enjoy your canopy boet! You’re going to love it!
Howsit brother, I just wanted to ask you how long it takes for your phone to connect to the dastek module after you start the car. Cause obviously you don't want the immobilizer to become an inconvenience
You have to manually connect to the Unichip and then select it in the app; its not ideal but its better than an oke being able to flip a switch to turn off the immobiliser.
@@RoamOverlanding so kind of like a, "just put it in that mode when I park in dodgy areas" kinda thing? Thanks for the reply btw.
100% so what happens is the vehicle (atleast on the auto) can only go like 5km/h
@@RoamOverlanding one more question btw, how's the smell from the straight pipe? Ive heard that once the cat is removed it smells quite bad?
@@joecach141 normally yes; it these hilux’s don’t have catalytic converters 👍🏻 so it smells the same 😂
How are you going to access your recovery equipment if in an accident you vehicle lays on its drivers side?
Winch 👍🏻
💯💯💯
How much did it cost?
When i go mountain biking, kayaking.....in the future
It’s already happened by now
Where are the water and diesel deposits ? What´s in the back seats ?
Nothing on the backseats in this case; the extra fuel tank is where the spare wheel goes underneath the tub and the water tank is right at the back and bottom of the drawersystem
Howzit Adrian. Are you carrying two spare tyres ?
Hey Jan; not at the moment. I removed the one under the long range tank because it damaged the tank when 4x4ing
Lekke boet. Give that engine delo 400. Excellent oil.
Do you only carry one spare tyre?
Yup; we aren’t really doing any hectic cross country trips since Covid; so I don’t see value in having a second spare...
@@RoamOverlanding makes sense, keep up the great content!
Thanks bud will do! 👍🏻
Rear suspension??
The suspension has changes since then; it used to be Fox 2.0 shocks and EFS +300kg constant load leafsprings. It is now the Terrain Tamer HD shocks with 500-700kg Parabolic leafsprings
