How to convert a SUV into a 4x4 Overland Tourer. Toyota Land Cruiser VDJ76 | 4xOverland

In a step-by-step process I take a 5-door station-wagon SUV (Toyota Land Cruiser VDJ76) and turn it into a overland touring vehicle/truck. And while I do so share the principles I use. This is part-1.

[@kitwalker8030]

This guy is the David Attenborough of 4x4’s

[@danschardein856]

Kit Walker Though the same thing. Sounds just like him.

[@JJ-uy2sg]

Nice BBC vid of the troopy used as an ambulance in Afghanistan.

[@Bamwich]

except if you really listen to him he's mostly just saying the same thing over and over.

[@derrickmurphy9988]

I think I would have learned something at school if he had have been my teacher.

[@TinS0lder]

I don't know man, hes on the wrong side of the road? Is he drunk?

[@jacooza1]

Why am I watching this I have never offroaded in my life before

[@mattdrives4757]

Now you will lol

[@mattdrives4757]

I recommend buying a Jeep Rubicon if you want to get into, they're beasts off road

[@thewrongopinion7811]

Same! I own a 4x4 but haven’t off-roaded or overlanded it. Yet.

[@calavino223]

just get a Toyota land cruiser 70 series if you're on a budget

[@showmequick2245]

Matt Gyver please don’t tell people to buy jeeps while going off road. Unreliable piece of work it is

[@peterwebb7775]

Just terrific. Not everybody is knowledgeable about things like this so this video is just the job. The advice given here is balanced, not condescending and comes from a genuine first hand experience. Top marks mate.

[@Splits-man]

As much as this pains me to admit, for a South African you are light years ahead of anyone in Australia in terms of your off road common sense and your 4WD technical knowledge and it’s application. Your logic is indisputable. Simply amazing! 😲

[@globalmobile017]

This easily could’ve been 15 to 20 separate videos... good job on cutting out the fat and getting directly to the meat...👍 Can’t wait for part 2.

[@freedomrider266]

I agree with your point, but for some purposes, the "fat" is quite necessary. Not in this case, but now you made me want a ribeye, with fat!!

[@lyonleech4733]

Here in east Africa majorly Kenya , Tanzania, Uganda, Southern Ethiopia, somalia,Sudan, south Sudan and Eritrea this is what we always need

[@oliverhawkins3098]

Unlike other videos that tell you what you need, this video tells you WHY you need or or don't need something.

[@mangoMango-ck3et]

David Attenborough and Andrew are similar, because one reason,easy to listen to, also,. coherent, articulate, very intelligent.,last, thoroughly know their stuff inside and out.

[@johnnyst.4372]

Oh God. This Man, he is such a good teacher and he is giving me so positive vibes. I really love the way how he explain everything and he makes it so so Clear !!!

[@baruchmbd]

Great detail, Andrew. Especially appreciate how you logically explain the pros and cons of items that are in the same category.

[@attilathehun402]

I have been following this channel for over 5 years now. So far it's the best 4x4/travel advice channel I came across.

[@adamw4469]

Andrew, this is such a great resource. Here are things you MIGHT find you need, and here is how to best determine if/when you need/want them. EXCELLENT!

[@Theprofessor1212]

That detail about breathers was very important. Thanks for the information.

[@Jason-cl8hk]

Andrew, this has to be the most pragmatic, useful and interesting review I’ve seen. Very informative - thanks!

[@derrickmartin9717]

Thank you so much for this video, Andrew. Though many of your followers are experienced off-roades and overlanders, having this type of video gives one a philosophy as they go about making their first purchases right up to the big ticket items for their rig.

[@Adamski2018]

What a legend, years of experience evident as he flies through detail after detail you pick up only sporadically in other videos..

[@etienne_oosthuizen]

I learnt a say while guiding in Zambia, OVERKILL IS UNDERRATED ... very true to traveling through Africa

[@mre.w.2850]

Tyre repair kit is damn vital, used cheap ones they are utter shit, they break don't make a big enough hole, cheap rubber plugs that break and crap glue, a quality set is a must have, thorns sharp rocks no brainer, awesome video Andrew

[@computer1166]

An honest answer to an honest sales person

[@peterbudd7118]

I love that your opinions are your own. It is so rare on social media currently.

[@bradcleavenger5826]

Fantastic! Love the check list approach and just the right level of detail on each subject. Looking forward to part two.

[@hghori1]

What I find amazing is that even though I have seen a lot of your previous videos and learned a lot from them, I still learn something new from your videos. Thank you

[@peterassel562]

Understatement of the century - a good puncture repair kit. While a simplistic video this is an awesome starter video. Subscribed!!!

[@881Gino]

Fantastic video Andrew. I have been 4x4ing for years and you are summing things up perfectly! Keep up the great work.

[@geoffcook9103]

Wow! Such a great informative video! Probably one of my favorites to date due to the sheer information provided within! Thank you, can’t wait to catch part 2.

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

I get asked about this often as well and always feel like I'm ducking the question when I answer "It depends how you want to use your vehicle". So it's nice hearing the same basic answer from you.

[@AdventuresInLandCruising]

Fantastic video! I've been off-roading for a while but love getting all the basic ideas and principals on each system. Thanks for the content!

[@jayfoster5756]

Another excellent video, love the straight to the point, no BS explanations. Keep up the great work.

[@madrx2]

Andrew, you're videos are so under rated! You're an absolute legend. Best knowledge in the industry.

[@sierramantrvlnus]

Ah my good man, great video. You make me chuckle in a good way.

[@felyx_kingmedia7863]

Wow!, Being a beginner as a safari driver in Kenya, this video is really helpful in understanding the mighty LC

[@danschardein856]

Excellent video! As a novice to overlanding I found it very informative and helpful as I build out my truck. Future videos expanding on the various topics covered would be great as well.

[@luisandluisgabriel6778]

Fantastic Video. I am looking forward to the next. I just took delivery of my new adventure vehicle (2019 T4R TRD PRO) and have begun its build. I have learned much from your past videos. Thank you 🙏

[@abdkim1917]

Just by watching this, I really can’t wait for my 1990 LC RJ77 this Sept!!! My first LC ever!

[@muzzaball]

Really really good video Andrew, just loved it. Your info is top notch, your delivery is very pleasing and I enjoy them very much, thank you.

[@jpatrickdowns]

I just stumbled across your videos! FANTASTiC. What an excellent resource. Thank you. I'm buying an older 4Runner with low miles, and want to set it up for off-road touring.

[@Michael_Mears]

I'm enjoying this series. Getting a few ideas as well. Good work, Andrew.

[@martinbguk]

Liking the video Andrew. Looking forward to the next installment.

[@VCV_Travel]

Greeting from Brazil! Thank you for sharing this content. Even here on the other side of the world, I have used this information a lot.

[@20DYNAMITE06]

The best kit video he's ever done. Thank you ASPW-

[@ruairim7551]

This is essential viewing for anyone wanting to get into 4x4 driving.

[@jrodriguez8216]

Great stuff, especially for me you is just in the very first stages of a build. I really enjoyed it. Would love to see more of your opinions on stuff you must have and things that you don't use anymore and why. May help the beginner avoid some issues. Thanks again

[@alexchin6074]

This guy is a legend. Should be a must watch for all new 4wd's

[@RadioRake]

Andrew, this is one of your best instructional videos! I enjoyed it very much and will strongly consider your advice.

[@sbblmb]

Top bloke, knows his stuff inside out.

[@solarbuduk]

Fantastic concept and execution for a video series. This is what they (we) want!!! Tasty stuff.

[@Simon-tg7jg]

Thank you Andrew for your informative video. Looking forward to part 2. Cheers

[@johannvanschalkwyk2141]

For new people to this, this is a very, very good info video… Well done Andrew…

[@davehoover8853]

Very nice overview of how to get started. So important to ask yourself what you are going to do with vehicle and what is needed to get off on your adventure.

[@solooverland3666]

Excellent video (as usual)! I’m glad I have the totally beautiful and great working overkill ARB Twin Compressor for my 4Runner. Every time Mr. 4x4 St. Pierre White says something is not absolutely necessary, I go get it... :)

[@BenzinioB]

That's an awesome informative vid for rookies like me that going to put a lot of unnecessary things on vehicle, spending too much money for getting worst result. Excellent job!

[@mountainconstructions]

Yes, well done here Andrew. Very accurate and concise. Nice to see the truth given and not hyped up marketing bs, like some YT channels

[@BTS-gu4iz]

jesus, I havn't seen this dude before, what a pro! love the "most compressors turn electricity into noise" so true

[@keithg4441]

Extremely good video, an enormous amount of information for someone like me just getting into this.

[@nigelwilliams8191]

Great video, really enjoyed the way you explained your process.

[@mickmorgan5104]

GREAT VID YOUNG ANDREW , take care.

[@ricardosamuels1253]

This video is so informative! I’ve learned much more from this single vid than the thousands I’ve watched. Thank you! You’re awesome.

[@4xoverland]

You are so welcome!

[@daniellavoie8379]

This video and part 2 will certainly be very popular. Once gain great video and thank you!

[@markuffindell]

Great practical advice. Thank you Andrew.

[@cyrusthegrape]

I subscribed without watching the video, the comment section was enough.

[@papikopano7707]

you are the GAOT Mr Andrew..i love it

[@ShaneNayani]

Great video,love the unbiased information

[@ToyBJ]

Good views Andrew and well presented as always mate .

[@crwhy]

Its nice to watch a clip with 0 bias between brands and basically cherry picking the parts that you know work best.

[@musamthembo7245]

The amount of info is absolutely priceless

[@markleach1974]

Fantastic video, thank you very much. I appreciate you explaining everything in detail.

[@richardellis69]

Best one I've seen you do yet mate!

[@saeedenkan4566]

excited for part 2 .

[@killraven0078]

Thanks for sharing your wisdom and experience in this area :)

[@charliemcgrain]

Been trying to work it out, finally got it. This guy is the David Attenborough of 4x4.

[@babrakkshahid9525]

Quiet elaborative!! Nice job my friend!!

[@upsetpatient2528]

Love your videos... you should be more well known for the quality of information you give!

[@patm5165]

Fantastic video, I’m new to this and this was very helpful, thank you!

[@-paulmp]

"the cheap ones will turn electricity into to noise" hahahah... yep, I've had one of those, I've got a great ARB one now, I love it.

[@photosynthesis_by_pete4006]

I am a poor man with an OLD #SUZUKI #VITARA. Thanks for that video helping NOOBS like myself. Bririlliant

[@consaka1]

That compressor looks like my Smitty built of the same size. That is a very nice compressor and pumps more air than many small compressors people have in their garage taking up 8 times the space.

[@JEFernando1]

It’s an amazing axe, and a unique piece, if I could just have one axe , this would be it 👍

[@SifsSwag]

Great, informative video Andrew!

[@jr15wa]

Great job and video Andrew!!! Cheers from hometown Perth will share with so many 4by-newbys!!

[@QuantumAlchemyst]

We appreciate a lot your instructive and very practical videos. Well explained and clear. We are learning a lot with it. Thank you very much from Spain. LR Disco 95 300tdi. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😀

[@riteshmishra908]

Best video ever for me....on 4WD

[@muumarlin1731]

Very helpful info! Great opportunity to learn.

[@767dag]

No bs , right to point... diff lock is probably the best up grade , Detroit locker limited slip

[@CaptainKnots]

Excelent video with very valuable information. Thanks!

[@Chemtech2010]

The method I'm using is just take the vechicle out a lot and see where the limits lie and adjust accordingly. That way you prevent buying unnecessary "upgrades". I mainly use my vehicle on weekends for off roading with planned tours once in a while so I have the luxury to do that. Ofcourse when outfitting for a big trip sometimes you need to do it in one go so good tips for that kind of stuff. Tires and a good air pump are THE best upgrades when starting out by the way. Seen guys with ARB bumpers and expensive lighting getting stuck because they use road tires in the mud :D

[@dylanphillips7520]

Brilliantly done Andrew!

[@JohnSluderPhoto]

Very nice over view!!!

[@dreadpirate.roberts]

It’s like listening to Gordon Ramsay critique off-road rigs. Wonderful information here. Loving all of these videos.

[@transignalelectricalsales330]

Awsome video thanks lots of love from South Africa

[@VikingBagsYT]

Much respect from everyone here at Vikingbags!

[@wyattoneable]

What I love about great channels such as this one, is that we get to watch and learn from passionate creators. This was a very informational video, thank you.

[@DifficultNerd]

awesome video - thank you for all the great information and for breaking it down for easy of understanding. :)

[@TheKeows]

Very informative video..planning to hv a 4wd tourer in the future🤘

[@renedeboer7348]

very good Andrew have fun to buld it all ,, they will love it the way you have than it for them ,,,, gr8 Job .. and alot's of good idea's when you wandet to build a 4x4

[@FloydStandiferIV]

good luck breaking a plasma line. when I was a U>S>Army Watercraft operator ( Deck side) on the small (900 Series Tugboats) as well as the bigger tug boats, that's all we used to tow the craziest of things. to date I don't remember hearing of any plasma lone breaking. so its good to hear that you can get plasma's for your vehicle winch. put a winch of the front and rear of your vehicle and set up to pull on both, I will bet that you will rip your vehicle in half before those lines break

[@vreklekker3474]

Love this. Thanks Andrew

[@noorismailceoismail9131]

Thanks, david, such useful info... excellent !

[@leeroys207]

Could be one of the best videos you have done.

[@scothunter3221]

Just discovered this video. I learn more from this one video then from a whole ton of other ones I’ve watched. I’m not subscribed.

[@joshuaambani5688]

Andrew, You are just amazing!!
