Two things: 1) The Troopy is not ugly! 2) If I were you, I would take both vehicles on “The Lap” around Australia. Similar to what you did on Friends Cross the Canning, we had a comparison between the old Land Rover and your Troop Carrier. I would do the same with the new Troopy and the HiAce- and bring your friends, they are hilarious!
Stoked to see your thoughts on the 2.8 and looking forward to the build! Ignore the haters on saying it’s the same old content for the troopy. The fact it has an entirely new engine and transmission makes it a new take and to be honest I could watch troopy content all day long. Hiace will be great viewing too.
This is actually refreshing and exciting news! And that's a lot to say in this industry. Can't wait to what you do with them, especially the HiAce. The more the merrier
Wow, as a Japan resident, I'm very surprised as to how different the Australian Hiace is to the Japanese Hiace. Completely different in fact. The only thing they seemingly have in common is the name. Conversions of the Hiace in Japan is very popular, ranging from various types of camper builds by specialist companies to owners dressing up their vehicles and adding things like bed-kits to their Hiaces. Interestingly, our Hiaces in Japan come with a 4WD variant in various grades from factory. It makes sense, much of Japan is snow country in winter and these being primarily delivery, commercial, police, ambulances and fire brigade vehicles wouldn't be much use without it in many regions. I'm looking forward to seeing this conversion as much as I am of the new Troop Carrier. Interesting stuff.
The two-box Hiace is reportedly based on the Previa platform. It was developed to compete with the big European vans, in terms of ride comfort, safety and carrying capacity. A two-box van design is also more resistant to twisting which, in some vans, has caused water ingress and corrosion around the windscreen, even without fitted roof racks.
We see some 4 wheel drive Hiaces in neighbouring mountainous Lesotho but I think that they are recycled secondhand ex Asian market vehicles which are not allowed South African roads.
How are the hiace different? There are 2 hiace, the old style van, and the new style with a hood/bonnet. Presumably the hood for better crash protection, but they seem to cost quite a bit more too.
My grandfather modified a hi ace van and did many Australian trips, always with my grandmother. They travelled into the Cape for a couple of months when they were well onto their eighties in their van which was fitted with solar panels, fridge, double bed and a hot outdoor shower. It was a go anywhere 2 wheel drive. They both lived to 104, were ahead of their time and great examples to all of us. I think you're on a winner with the hiace👍
Finally, something exciting to watch(as a build series).A Hiace build, something Australians don't do. With the price of caravans going up to astronomical prices, this will be a good alternative.Just watched an Irish couple convert an old Toyota high ace to a campervan for next to nothing, and will be traveling all over Australia(2WD).Let's see what Andrew can do with one.
The Hi Ace will be an incredible build....essentially a Japanese Sportsmobile. This could be the start of 4X4 Van Life in Australia once Aussies realize how great a proper 4WD equipped van really is. Hard to beat a 4WD van for touring.
Hiace sounds like an excellent solution for a small family, very curious to see this project. But my heart will always beat for a troopy❤ ugly duck is the best !! 😂
Merry Christmas, love your channel, very much looking forward to these builds, you remind me of my childhood days watching Malcolm Douglas and bush adventures except with more emphasis on the vehicle, which I love as a BJ42LX & 76 owner, thanks 👍
Wow😮 Andrew, really looking forward to the Hiace build because in Uganda the hiace has been a staple for public transport and as a conversion for safari 4x4 vehicles (the older versions from the 80's and 90's). As a safari enthusiast just launching a safari company I am really looking forward to this build.
Man I really hope it’s the van. That would be a nice build. i’m trying decide to get a van and I think with your build would probably help me make my decision. Especially with your knowledge and experience. I really appreciate all your hard work and dedication to your videos to us and your lifestyle.
Roy Hill used a couple of the converted HiAce vans for people transport up the the Pilbara and I think they look great. It’s great to see you doing a totally different vehicle build
Camped in Perth once and the guy was driving a HiAce 4X4. Said it skipped across mud and sand as the old type had the engine in the centre. Heat was the only issue on long drives. Lent us 2 kayaks to explore dolphin bay... top bloke.
It seems like Christmas really came threw this year! I came to this channel because I loved (still do) the way you plan out and build your vehicles! And now we get to see 3 builds! The Africa build, the new land cruiser, and a Hiace! You are doing an amazing job! Thanks, Andrew
Brilliant news! Make sure you get the High Roof Hiace Commuter! Makes a world of difference! Cannot wait to watch this! Side note - I own an old 2003 3l diesel Hiace Commuter with the 5l motor, the vehicle is old and slow but absolutely amazing for reliability and changed my life when I converted it to a camper! Just wish it was 4x4.
Looking forward the the HiAce build as we have them at work , and I've always wondered what they'd be like as a tourer, so I can't wait for this build to come.
I love this direction you are taking with the Troopy and the Australian 4x4 industry! I was one of them saying "same olde same olde" when I saw your you were building another Troopy, but this will be great. Can't wait to see it and congratulations on 7 years. It doesn't seem like that long you left SA! Best wishes to you and your family in 2024!
Very interesting to follow the build of the HiAce. Here in Sweden a tent is not so comfortable year around. Yes we do sleep in tent in -30 celcius. But when overlanding why not use the comfort that a vehicle like the HiAce can support. Unfortunately we don't have any 4x4 vans available on the market here. Just 30 years old Delicas and HiAces, and then of course the different models of the Volvo C303 but then we are talking about 50 years old vehicle.
Now this is an exciting development. Im going to call it now, you'll keep the hiace. So much more potential build wise. The high centre of gravity will be interesting as will the longer wheel base for tricky off-roading stuff.
Hi! thats i love may mitsubishi 1995 delica 2.8 td for traveling ,fan... fishing!!!!! still build , converting rhd to lhd ... hope finish this year.... old ... yes. 4x4... yes.... strong , simple japanese old school...!!!!!!!!!! hello from Latvija!!!
Hi Andrew, I will be looking forward to your future videos of these two vehicles, they both have been on my list, I drive 2023 hilux I love the 2.8, just looking for a future camper set up. You do great videos mate.
Happy Holiday from Hiace owner from Poland! I am really pleased to hear about your new built. We have 2003 Hiace 4wd, but the euro version (sbv). To improve its capabilities we put a hilux transfer case. Now for me it is an ultimate 4wd. I really dont know, what i could get after the rust consume our Hiacynta. The amount of space is overwhelming 😉 Looking forward to see Your ideas!
Your welcome Andrew, Glad you took my advice about the van when you were asking us all what you should build next. I am really looking forward to seeing what you do with the van build. From my research the suspension will be an issue as it has limi5ed travel. Be interesting to see if you can up with a solution with industry to improve it . To compensate I think you will need a front diff lock in the van as well. All the best for the new year and I can’t wait to see the van content come out . Cheers Chris 🍻
Looking forward to seeing how the 2.8 78 goes with all the gear/ weight on it, to the point that I’m delaying ordering til you are finished building this one
I am wondering, for touring purposes, how often would you really have needed the true offroad capability of the troopy? I am pretty sure the capability of the Hi Ace converted will be more than sufficient for touring purposes in my opinion. Awesome idea and can't wait to see the build
Best of luck Andrew. You are going to need it. I don't think you have any experience with Toyot 4 pots diesel, I have, You especially have no experience with one mated to Aisin auto box. I suppose you will soon learn what Toyota's vritual warranty means. Happy New Year.
This should be an interesting proposition. I've done the "lap' quite a few times over the last 35 years with many different vehicles. One of them a V8 troopy. Looking forward to your preference in your upcoming "lap" in 2025!
You can get Andrew out of a troopy, but you can't get the troopy out of Andrew. Love your work Andrew keep it up. I hope you enjoy the troopy superleggera gt fastback version.
I can’t wait for the construction of both vehicles, but the newness of the HiAce is going to fantastic! Merry Christmas to you, Gwen, and the girls,Andrew! @4xoverland
Hi, new to your channel. ( from West Virginia) I like the HiAce idea very much. I've thought of similar builds using the vans available here. I have hills, snow, ice, mud, heat, and cold here and need to lug around people and wheelchairs. So 5 person and cargo hauling is my life. Looking forward to the build. I found this on TFL channels.
Now you made my ears prick, The Hiace van conversion I’m interested in.I looked at this myself before buying the Hilux. The extra price at the time on top of the purchase price was out there…we have the 8 seater’s on site. They do go alright..Only thing I would recommend is some type of protection up the sides of the van, they are quite exposed. Good luck with the new builds 👍
10 years ago friends and I were talking about the concept of 4x4 vans for touring australia with a large family. Our thinking was to have factory offerings like toyota hiace and hyundai imax with factory 4x4 systems with decent lift and 33-35" tyres. If such offerings were available from factory we would have both bought them in an instant. Closest thing to what we were thinking was a ford F350 4x4 van.
As a 2022 Hiace Crewvan owner, it's going to be great to see these vans get some attention. A modest 2" lift and rear locker would go a long way. Hopefully the industry takes notice and starts producing more off-road orientated products
There are two companies producing the lifted 4x4 HiAce's, of both lengths. SLWB at 157" seems not so popular for RVing but I am happy with mine. Longer shocks on the rear helps a lot. And yes a rear locker helps when pushing articulation. 2wd raise can be done any time (Melb) but the 4wd must be done prior to reg. Unfortunately the 300 series has not yet reached most AU creators minds. Most campers are low and short for city folks housing limitations. Oh, and don't forget the Toyo designers have opted to omit the rear (barn) door interior handle.. I have looked and it's not as straight forward as hoped. As an aside the post office have bought 130 of them (in red) from the local agent. So if you 've got 10 years or so to wait you'll be able to snap up one of theirs.
Awesome can't wait to see the Hiace. I owned a Lond Wheel Base Delica, and for a family car/4WD it's the best vehicle in the world. It's so perfect for most family's 4WD trip. The only issue is it can't tow Caravans. But a camper trailer would be perfect
Brilliant! This is something different and exciting. I purchased a new Hiace a few months ago and am loving it. Toyota build great cars.(coming from a Nissan Patrol Owner). I know the HiAce is about $50,000 new so I guess the conversion must be about $40,000? I think you'll do your lap in the HiAce. Keep up the great work Andrew. Marty from Perth
Hi Andrew I met you today at bakers hill bakery Sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable I even forgot to introduce myself.. I wanted to say how I appreciate your videos and knowledge and how you’ve inspired me with my Landcruiser but of course nothing came out of my mouth 🙄I’m very much looking forward to fallow you 4x4 Toyota hiace build I hope you have a safe new year kind regards Phil.
I am really looking forward to see what you do with the Hi Ace!!!!! There are a couple of old 4x4 Hi Ace taxis running up and down Sani pass like Kamakazi pilots so I would be interested to see if your build would be better

I will volunteer to drive the Hiace on that trip 😂
That is a fantastic idea!!
Get some glasses the new Land Cruiser looks like a Jimny with Down syndrome
Andrew check Quantum Theck HD building aHiace is doing great job it’s maybe help u and me and contributers
the NEW TROOPY is awesome looking; I LOVE IT!!
Hired a Hiace camper on the Gold Coast recently. It had done over 600,000 kms and was still going strong. Very impressed.
Stoked to see your thoughts on the 2.8 and looking forward to the build! Ignore the haters on saying it’s the same old content for the troopy.

@@survivalabcthanks mate your so smart thanks for your comment, have a good one champ
Over 50k for 4WD conversion
Mitsubishi have had the Express & Delica for years now.
Nothing new at all, just it's a converted HiAce, lots of pending issues possibly.
Delica is not available in Australia. Unfortunately.
Absolutely awsome I have been waiting for ages for a well respected channel to build an off road hiace . I can't wait well done love your work
Couldn’t be more excited for this! I love the idea of overlanding with a van/SUV more than a truck.
Hiace sounds like an excellent solution for a small family, very curious to see this project.
But my heart will always beat for a troopy❤ ugly duck is the best !! 😂
Merry Christmas, love your channel, very much looking forward to these builds, you remind me of my childhood days watching Malcolm Douglas and bush adventures except with more emphasis on the vehicle, which I love as a BJ42LX & 76 owner, thanks 👍

New engine, Auto, new offroading features, new look...That is the best Troopy you will build!
Love from India and really enjoy your contents . Thanks for supporting family business all over the world .
Sounds like an exciting endeavor- can’t wait to see how things turn out!
Appreciate your comment on supporting local business. Keep it up
I wish you good luck. You are in for some surprises with the 2.8 Auto.
The van build will be a breath of fresh air and I will look forward to it.

Love the idea of the Hiace conversion. Can’t wait to follow along, I’m sure it will be one of a kind!
Yes yes yes, can't wait to see the van
What a great idea, going for the hiace and doing the both simultaneously.
Wow, the 4x4 conversion of a Hiace looks awesome.
Yeah for over 50k

Looking forward to seeing the hi-ace
This AMAZING channel just got much more EXCITING!!!! Let’s goooooo
Hi, new to your channel. ( from West Virginia) I like the HiAce idea very much. I've thought of similar builds using the vans available here. I have hills, snow, ice, mud, heat, and cold here and need to lug around people and wheelchairs. So 5 person and cargo hauling is my life. Looking forward to the build. I found this on TFL channels.
Very excited about the Hi-Ace build Andrew! ❤
2024 is going to be an interesting year. We are looking forward to these new builds.
Best wishes for the Season
Now you made my ears prick, The Hiace van conversion I’m interested in.I looked at this myself before buying the Hilux. The extra price at the time on top of the purchase price was out there…we have the 8 seater’s on site. They do go alright..Only thing I would recommend is some type of protection up the sides of the van, they are quite exposed. Good luck with the new builds 👍
Really excited to see the outcome of both new builds
10 years ago friends and I were talking about the concept of 4x4 vans for touring australia with a large family.

Fantastic vid Andrew 👌
Love the new Troopy Andrew! Can’t wait to see the Hiace build!
As a 2022 Hiace Crewvan owner, it's going to be great to see these vans get some attention. A modest 2" lift and rear locker would go a long way. Hopefully the industry takes notice and starts producing more off-road orientated products
There are two companies producing the lifted 4x4 HiAce's, of both lengths. SLWB at 157" seems not so popular for RVing but I am happy with mine. Longer shocks on the rear helps a lot. And yes a rear locker helps when pushing articulation. 2wd raise can be done any time (Melb) but the 4wd must be done prior to reg. Unfortunately the 300 series has not yet reached most AU creators minds. Most campers are low and short for city folks housing limitations. Oh, and don't forget the Toyo designers have opted to omit the rear (barn) door interior handle.. I have looked and it's not as straight forward as hoped. As an aside the post office have bought 130 of them (in red) from the local agent. So if you 've got 10 years or so to wait you'll be able to snap up one of theirs.

Good plan, interested!
This is going to be good -- I'm especially keen to see the Hi Ace build.
Great idea doing the Hiace!! I used to have a Mistsi Delica 4x4 and it was great fun. Hope you do a pop top and diff lockers all round!
Oh Andrew, what a great idea. I’m really looking forward to your forthcoming videos 👍🏼
I'm looking forward to this. Great news and I'm sure it will grow your channel by a leap.
❤Love the concept of these builds Andrew! Thanks for sharing
Tough job making the troopy look good. Those headlights need serious work. Looking forward to this, great ideas.
Looking forward to the builds for 2024, i suspect the hiace will attract most attention for your end of year lap.
I am really looking forward to see what you do with the Hi Ace!!!!! There are a couple of old 4x4 Hi Ace taxis running up and down Sani pass like Kamakazi pilots so I would be interested to see if your build would be better
Funny you said the Cruiser is ugly, the look was finally growing on me after 39 years!
This is going to be great to watch Andrew. Really looking forward to watching it. 👌
