@aaronpank18 күн бұрын
Thats how I started out with my LR Disco 2. The Prado and Discovery 2s are very very similar size and layout. Because I daily drive mine, and do have tools, and various stuff i throw in and out of it, I did end up designing and building my own fit out in the back. which is modular with a top part that comes out when I don't need it, boxes that go in the fridge space when I don't have the fridge in. We did 4 weeks living out of the car in 2019 doing the red centre, and figured we needed some organisation to not send ourselves mad trying to find stuff. I am envious of your collection of canvas bags haha. I need more to help organise the back, but I haven't been away in quite a while so have forgotten what I need them to organise. The Boab roof nets are awesome. I actually use mine as a half cargo barrier/net above my fit out in the back up to the roof. Keep up the good work

I have to say its a pretty impressive modular tent system. But I can't get past the price of these things. Doing a quick check, by the time you put ion all of the bells and whistles, its about $3,000. Initially I thought that the high cost was just because it has been such a long time since I have bought any tenting equipment. But going on line I see that you can still get large external frame, two and tree room, 10 to 12 person tents for about $1,000. I get the novelty of being able to put up the basic tent in "30 second' gimmick. But $2,000 is a lot to pay for a gimmick that goes out the window when you start adding all of the other components.

Does it retain a coal base ? Only issue I have found with firepits is you can’t use a camp oven on them as the coal base burns away to quickly. P.S. to stop the grill rusting , season it as you would a frypan.

First up, its funny watching your videos. I don't think we have caught up since Berwick Scout days haha. Fantastic trip up there, and a trip that I have been wanting to do for some time now. Watching some of those steep climbs though, my only concern in my case is my Discovery being manual, can be a bit hard to keep steady. But if the Prado can do that, my Disco will do it haha

I have used a product called Fertan quite successfully on rust. It is a convertor rather than a remover but can be painted over. I use a wire brush attached to my drill first to remove any scale. Anyway another interesting video and I agree you certainly need a cargo barrier.

Wow - I just investigated Fertan. In theory you can paint straight over the chemically converted new surface..I would have done this as the step before painting. I'm going to keep this in one in mind. Thanks for supporting and watching my videos Michael😬

Best way to carry an Oztent rv4 on a sedan with roof racks? I saw you mentioned a drifta roof rack but I live too far from anyone who supplies them
@OTWDАй бұрын
Just need to support the tent along the ~2m length so there are more that a few points of contact (ie. It's not recommended to put straight onto roof bars with 2 points of contact) On the video sharing video comments (where i mentioned the drifta carrier), someone suggested using a ladder. You may need to get creative 😬

Appears to be a very expensive pain in the ar$e. 30 second tent that takes hours of extra setup! 😅😅😅😅😅 I couldn't justify the cost for the size and weight when packed and all the stuffing around to setup for a long stay. Plus it's made in Ch!na 😮😮😮

I love it - lighter than a caravan or trailer for us. Extra setup is optional, but honestly doesn't take us long. Fair enough opinion, what do you recommend instead?
@denniscalvert33902 ай бұрын
I know this vid is two years old, but the easy way to clean the floor is to set it up and push the tent forward with the front on the ground, if windy just peg down the front.

As a couple we take collapsible stretcher beds and line them either side of entrance. If u get the height right you can store gear underneath. Its quicker than airbeds and warmer off the ground. You csn buy stackable plastic drawers from big w that fit underneath plus between bunks 2 high, makes perfect bedside table. All our clothes and gear travel in them stacked in the ute. So easy to transfer. We use the same for cooking gear. Slide perfectly under tables.

Hi Greg, Glad you enjoy the videos. Thanks heaps for watching mate. I am stubborn when it comes to insect repellent - it gets stinky if you can't wash it off properly! Sunscreen on the other hand, my pasty Victorian skin burns and I lather it on...a bit hypocritical. I vote aeropress out of these two, still. I have an aeropress coffee every day before going to work, and every morning when I'm camping. The Wacaco press only comes out on special occasions - its a bit more involved, harder to clean, and you can only get a short black each use. Cheers!!

Howzit Dan. I asked for your advise almost a year ago now I think, about the 120 series. You had some good advise. I said I’d update on what I eventually bought, so I actually ended up buying a 1998 105 series Land Cruiser, the 4500 EFI. 290000 km’s, full service history with number of upgrades (raised, extended fuel tank, water tank, front and rear steel bill bars, roof rack, dual battery with inverter, and a bunch more). Ready to do some exploring. Thanks again man, your channel was part of the inspiration that got me to where I am now, appreciate it buddy. Have a good one

Do the side and front panels pack away inside the same storage bag, or would I need to plan for extra space for them in the rig? Sorry if you went over this in the video, and I know I’m late to comment, but looking into this tent setup pretty seriously.
@OTWD2 ай бұрын
Many people keep the fly attached. I personally don't I feel like its a tight squeeze. The front and side panels in general do not fit. You need to allocate a bit of extra space. They pack quite small in the oztent supplied bag but I usually stuff them in canvas duffel bags (like Drifta Small Equipment Bag) so I dont have to be too meticulous folding them up.

Nice mod Dan, more simple than I though to adapt those to the Prado. Reminds me I need to install mine on the 76. Given it's a straight magnet install for me not sure why it's taken this long!
