The real reason I love watching your videos and your travels is that they are very informative, entertaining and hilarious. The other part is the fact that you like things to be very practical and simplified for the user. I like that. The passion is on steroids really 😁.
I’m watching this while I do an assignment, for the back ground noise as his voice is very soothing. When he got excited about the ladder I had too watch to see what got him worked up.
The drawer system that holds both fridge and cook top is just on another level! Great use of space. Also, two foldable legs on that extended tray could really aid on stability and strength when using the kitchen drawer.
We have a Gen3 tent by Alucab and changed the ladder to a telescopic one. Bought it cheap on Amazon. And mounted Alucabs’ hinge thingy on it. For what I see Alucabs’ system to connect the ladder to the tent is a bit easier. Also after rain I wouldn’t put the ladder in the tent. The tubes of these kind of ladders tend to fill with water during rain.
Some very slick kit there. That shade awning is awesome. I very much like the kitchen design. What a great idea for the lowering fridge in the unit. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Andrew, I loved it! The video that is. I think this is one of the best videos which actually shows the passion you have in building a new vehicle. Sure...no amazing photography...but just raw enthusiasm on a project. So cheers to you from one of your patreons!
What a perfect way to start the weekend! great video, cant wait for you trying the build on a trip. 17:48 there are nice waterproof bags for your shoes which you can fix to the tent. Theyre hanging outside so you dont even have to move your shoes through the tents inside. Sheepie is selling those as well as many European tent manufacturers like Maggiolina or James Baroud. I think Thule also has those shoe bags. I also hope that more and more tent manufacturers will move to the in-built roof rack for aluminium tents. Often it just needs one company to start this, and the rest of them will follow.
The Feldon Shelter soft shell tent in New Zealand here have a shoe bag that hangs outside by the door - super useful feature! You can sit on the edge to remove/put them back on
Thank you Andrew for reviewing these products, I was at the big boys toys expo in Perth just this weekend gone and i had a good look at this very same QuickPitch setup and I was very impressed. It has given me some new idea's about what i want in my touring rig.
Well done Andrew. The second handle on the lower half of the R/T ten will certainly help in climbing up to close the tent. Very good first look at the Tent.
This was my 1st Video of you and your channel! What an absolute pleasure to watch! The Missus had to drag me away from the TV, as I started binge watching video after video! Well done and congratulations on the new truck. May you have many happy miles! Looking forward to your test run/overland trip during mid 2020... Cheers from Cape Town!
Found your channel after getting a 100 series for family trips (with a caravan) and festivals but looking to learn and expand both my and the vehicles capability - keep up the good work 👍🏻
Nice Andrew, well done! I have the same setup on my 105, a couple comments: 1. The telescopic ladder - if the "telescopic portions" are not clicked and locked, the ladder will tend to "creep" towards the side of the car and then one has trouble getting your feet onto the rungs, and also risk scratching / damaging the side of the vehicle. Also, I originally had my ladder in the same position as yours but then I moved it 6 inches towards the rear because we couldn't open the back door to gain access to articles needed for camping in there. A local manufacturer here in Limpopo has designed a really nice much smaller permanent ladder that bolts onto the side of the vehicle, and one uses the rear tyre to step up, brilliant, I'm getting one of those! 2. The roof-rack issue: I like to have a separate roof-rack on the vehicle as it allows one to load articles up there when one is not on holiday / touring, that takes off the 84kg tent. I remove my tent when I have the car at home for several months using a setup in my garage utilising the winch as a lift mechanism; can do it alone easily. 3. I moved my fridge setup to behind the drivers seat - removed the rear seats and built a flat, all-framed, carpeted board with tie-downs and that gives me a lot more space at the back for all the other items for safari. Great rig, thanks for the reviews, go well.
Wow Nice setup! Couple of little mistakes here and there, but really good and practical. The kitchen kit is beautiful. Really well thought-out suggestions too. Thanks for sharing!
That kitchen set up is pretty cool. If its reliable over time I can see that catching on..And I do like the 270 awnings, I will be getting one to upgrade my traditional one.
Love this Cruiser, I have one very very similar in design minus the roof top tent, which will be following very closely as have been looking at them. I built a similar kitchen to cross the Simpson Desert last year and it works well. Looking at some gull wing windows at the moment for side access, need to be fitted for the Gibb River Road in July. Also in Perth, can't believe the similarity, except ours is blue.
For the ladder, your shoebag suggestion should double up as a storage bag for the ladder, which will no doubt get dirty on a trip, saves having a dirty ladder on your bedding and having to clean tent inside 😅
Thanks so much. These reviews are extremely useful. I am looking to covert my 2019 Armada for weekend camping excursions and I'm leaning towards the iKamper Skycamp. It's very pricey but at 72 kg, it's extremely lightweight and I have yet to see any other rooftop tent that is simpler to open/close. BTW, they also make a shoe rack and outer storage shelf that attaches to the underside of the tent.
@ Outback Joe... The design ideas are very similar to that of AluCab's ShadowAwn, which has anchor straps stowed in the arms. We have set ours up and anchored with storm pegs in very bad continuos wind for almost two weeks without a problem. The design seems sturdy. Fitted solidly to the side of the vehicle and with propper anchoring, it should not be a problem at all.
I find it interesting when people get irritated because i like to support people who "give their content away for free anyway". It is because i deeply enjoy those videos/shows and i want the creators to be able to make more of their awesome content without having to worry what they might eat tomorrow or how to pay the rent.

0:35 I love the mechanics just staring at the camera. Really reminds you of all the people that make this channel happen.
Don't know how I ended up watching your channel but today was the first day I started watching. Really finding it entertaining and interesting.
Looks amazing, another fantastic build. Thank you for sharing!
Keep em coming Andrew, love it all!
It looks fantastic and very simple great setup
Your kitchen system is outstanding, a great asset. I loved it.
A waterproof holder for two pairs of shoes. Aloft outside is a brilliant idea.

Finally a proper rooftop tent and awning combo. Well done for finding this product. Will be looking forward to the July videos.
thank you for sharing!!, I'm just putting my own rig together currently. I got some great insight and ideas, Thank you!!
Looks amazing, another fantastic build. The Quick Pitch and Takla products work great on this Land Cruiser. Thank you for sharing Andrew!

Hi Andrew, fantastic job on the cruiser, love all the Quick Pitch equipment.
Fantastic. Lots of good ideas and thoughts generated.
Split rear door must be a winner, rooftop tent as a rack witch you asked for before - one of your best initiatives ever!

You put your heart and soul to it mate, it is amazing. God bless you.
Nice setup finally completed congratulations 👍
Landcruiser looks great love the quick pitch products, well done guys, Andrew enjoy the van
Looking good Andrew. Can't wait to see how it preforms.
Great clam shell set up. Love it!
Yes, It's you Andrew. You have way to much knowledge and become this anoying twat that we just love ;) keep up the good work !

Your land cruiser is my dream machine. Your builds keep getting better and better. Another great video. 👍
Very thorough review. Thank you, sir!
Good on you. Quick Pitch. Great products.

Good idea about the extra handle, and I really love the kitchen idea

Wonderful ! Thank you for sharing
Another wonderful vehicle, well done once more Mr White.
Great video! Something about your vibe in this video feels better than previous ones. 👌🏻
Well done Andrew. The second handle on the lower half of the R/T ten will certainly help in climbing up to close the tent. Very good first look at the Tent.
Love the 4XO on the seat covers Andrew !!

Lookinn forward for future videos with this vehicle.
Love that kitchen slide 👍🏼
Thank you. Inspirational as always.
Man Andrew! That is amazing. I'm a big fan of QuickPitch. I saw you in QuickPitch Australia with your new 79 about 2 weeks ago!
Excellent Andrew
Great stuff as usual
Found your channel after getting a 100 series for family trips (with a caravan) and festivals but looking to learn and expand both my and the vehicles capability - keep up the good work 👍🏻

Great build!
I recently added their 270 awning to my 80 Series and agree it is an amazing awning
How much $$ is the awning, Quickpitch website has no prices...🤷😕
Thank you fantastic products
I am excited for you!!
Wow Nice setup! Couple of little mistakes here and there, but really good and practical. The kitchen kit is beautiful. Really well thought-out suggestions too. Thanks for sharing!
Just can’t stop watching ur videos
Great video Andrew
Seriously, this is amazing
That lowering fridge drawer slide is sick 👌
Great video.
That kitchen set up is pretty cool. If its reliable over time I can see that catching on..And I do like the 270 awnings, I will be getting one to upgrade my traditional one.
Mate an awesome result from blind purchase to a really great truck . love it roll on July 2020 Cheers Ty
Great video thank you!
Nice! Good Review.
Very nice!
Free Spirit Recreation's tents have a shoe pouch on the outside. I love that feature, no need to bring my muddy boots inside!
Nice, thanks ASPW
First rate setup, manufacturers should be proud of their product .
U MAKE IT REAL! QUITE NICE, WELL DONE.
An exterior waterproof "shoe bag" came standard on my $900 Smittybuilt RTT. Love that tent!
happy new year... a fan from kenya! love the videos.
Re watched this video series.
Such a shame covid brought it all to an end. Would have loved to have seen it used.
Hope it found a good home!
Looks fantastic Andrew. Maybe a simple drop down leg under the cooker will give it a bit more strength? Cant wait for your first trip

Nice setup the extra handle is a good idea.
Go to Bunnings, get a handle, 2 screws and a driver and the extra handle is placed wherever desired. Simples.
Love it! I want one
18:00 paparazzi in the background
Drooling all the way from “low emmission zone” infested Belgium 🤤😫
Looking forward to seeing you enjoy this one, Andrew. Stop by the next time you’re in the UAE. There are some Troopies waiting to meet you.
Dear Andrew, for better packing of the awning, first fold the canvas for half and then role it up ( time line=23:20)
I promise to become a Patreon supporter this year.
Lovely truck.
Very nice effort.
I'm only 177cm (185cm on Tinder) and struggle to comfortably fit in these tents. The kitchen is great and looks like a terrific overload vehicle
