Awesome. Just discovered your channel and I'm about to binge watch until I've caught up. I too have a 4WD bus, kitted out as a home. It's a 1991 Mitsubishi Rosa 4WD. I bought it (in New Zealand) 6 years ago, already kitted out in modern campervan style. It wasn't perfect for my needs, so I gutted the dining and kitchen area. I built a new lounge and kitchen area out of cardboard and duct tape, lived with it for 2 weeks and tweaked the design until it was perfect. Then I measured everything and rebuilt the interior out of elm and plywood. It's an on-going project, mostly because of the ridiculous way I like to do things. Curved drawer fronts, for example. I'm stoked to have found your channel and to finally find some other 4WD bus peeps. Cheers guys.
It’s cold and raining. I’m lying here with a cold and cold sore and watching this as an escape. I can only dream about this. I’m hoping to do this. Well done!
Thank you beautiful person. You absolutely CAN do anything you want in life. Just take little steps each day and have a clear goal. You can do anything you want in life. Thank you for watching our journey and sending support to you on yours!!
Just come across this build as I've just bought a 1990 4WD Coaster. We live up in the Riverland. I'll be following the build now. Cheers
Ahhh awesome! You part of the coaster 4x4 facebook group? There are some great guys on there as well to help with the build. Thanks for following, more videos coming soon :)
@saltandcharcoal yes, we are, will no doubt be a great resource
Lots of great tips on things to look out for - thanks 🙏
Hi guys! Congratulations🎉😊 Nice camper! Where are you from? Is it possible to see your bus? I am from Adelaide. Thanks, Alex.
Such a cool vehicle to travel Aus in. Can't wait to see the rest of the build.

Thank you guys. Wow we have so much to share on the build. Coming very soon 😊🤗
Love your bus 🤩🚐hello guys from “the sand van “
We’re looking at upgrading to a 4x4 coaster next year 🤩we’ll be following along ❤️❤️
Keep us informed on your journey lovely people! Thanks for following along on ours. Following you 😍
Hahah ahhh I loved the map video with the tiny plane/bus! Amazing:) hope you’re feeling a lot better now Bec! Hate that you’ve been so ill:( there’ll be happy times to come in your cool bus though hehe LOVE you! xxx
A better option for getting the insulation glue off is plastic metal brush head. It pulls it all off without damaging the paint like a scraper will. Make sure you’ve rust proofed everywhere you’ve scraped after 👍
Hey Vicky, thank you this is an excellent point we didn't think of! Wish we had that back then lol, eeek! Yes the metal brush head did grate away a bit. Thankfully we did rust proof most of those sections after... but not all of them 😬
Guys Please Please make a detail review of the 4x4 system of your bus.
Ok ok. We are going to try post some more here.. What exactly would you like to know?
about the transfer case and front axle. I mean if one want to do the job what parts would he be looking for this conversion. and thanks for the reply.
.... here's a thought for a video not many have done, instead of it being one of a billion conversion videos.......Change it back to a small passenger bus?
Sorry guys....but if you put the wrong insulation directly against a steel roof you get condensation against the surface...., which means rust.
Yea defiantly the wrong insulation can do that. Not ideal to be directly on it.
