I don't understand the haters. I'm sitting here with a rum and coke, watching some content that I find very interesting for free. I like some of your builds better than others but I appreciate the fact that you're always trying to find new ways to do things and new variations. It's like I get to test different ideas without spending any money. But of course, nothing beats your first Canning Stock trip. That was majestic.

I watched that video and didn’t think anything at all when you get stuck things like that happen, you handled it and had all the gear.. keep up the great videos mate.

Hi Andrew, my partner and i are in the early stages of a 4x4 hiace after touring in a 2017 hiace for a few years now. We have had times that the vehicle limited our journeys. We have decided to bite the bullet and spend the money on a vehicle that both suits our needs and works for us. Its so easy to travel in and set up. I have come across these haters that say its not a 4wd and your wasting your money, my response is i am a pioneer and you will thank me when you try and buy one. Chin up keep moving forward.

Your problem Andrew is that you don’t know how much some people (like me) appreciate your experience and love seeing you get stuck and seeing how you use your experience to get out. Some people have low range in their cars but would not know when to use it. The know it alls who watch your videos must make their own videos. They must make a “know it all” channel. Been driving my Discovery for 2 years and have never gotten stuck because I have been watching your videos (and know what not to do). 2 weekends ago I was driving behind 3 Jeep Wranglers. They got stuck and I didn’t. The only difference between me and them is that I would ask, “what Would Andrew Do?” 😂

The comments "you shold have done this x" and "Why didn't you do x" in my opinion are not negativity, rather, it is stupidity. "Do not attribute malice to that which can be explained by stupidity" I really hope you don't get yourself into the well known KZbin comment downward spiral. Do and film what you love, those who don't share your interest will be filtered out soon enough. Cheers.

I have done some off roading here in America, but watching you solve your problems has given me ideas about situations I’ve been in. About what equipment could have helped me. I’m no where near as experienced as you, do us novices a favor and continue to film your struggles for us. Fuck the know-it-alls! They don’t actually do anything, they just talk!

Andrew thankyou for your content. After travelling and living in my Hiace Commuter around Australia for several years and for a lot of those it was an ongoing build, I decided to go down the 4WD track. I have built and now travel in a 4WD built to suit my needs, like you it is a tool to get me where i want to go. It doesn't have the living comforts of the Hiace in all weathers, but it gets me to places in greater driving comfort and where i could never go before. Over the years i have fantasied about my ultimate vehicle, from an Iveco to a ute with a slide on and everything in between. So I'm following your build with baited breath

Cheer up mate! Being so passionate it is normal to miss the obvious: as of today (2 weeks later) 23.000 people viewed the episode with the recovery from Namibia, 1.200 applauded and 161 felt the urge to comment, most of them in a positive way. That's 7/1.000 people, less than 1%, that left a comment and for sure much less than 2/1.000 had the urge to say something negative and stupid. The rest of us just enjoyed it quietly, 993/1.000 people it is, that had the luck to stay at home and live the adventure we don't get to have but we dream of it, quietly and respectfully, some of us (more than 52/1.000) just clapping at the end. And that is a massive positive result!

Please keep the breakdowns in your videos, without learning from our problems and fixing, we would still be living in trees. 🇮🇪

Andrew, I love your channel! Been following your builds and adventures for almost 10 years now. I think most folks who watch for any real length of time is going to know you're incredibly knowledgeable. The overwhelming majority of us are here because we are fans. Toxic know-it-all buttholes are not a 4x4 Overland community problem, but a fairly universal one. Youll find jerks like that EVERYWHERE. Just block them when they pop up. For me, I hope you continue to film the parts of your adventures that go wrong, like getting bogged, because that stuff is important. I want to see how youre able to use your experience and ingenuity to get yourself out and fix whatever went wrong.

Made a facebook video of my first gen Ford Ranger Raptor doing some offroad and got blasted from every possible angle leading to me removing it from a community 4x4 group :/ You should ignore these types of people Andrew, your channel taught me so much in terms of 4x4, builds, equipment etc. The contribution you make to the community is a lot more than these toxic people ever do.

Ja - my 300 TDI LR 90 turned out to be a good vehicle after I crashed it a bit for starters. Long story from the other life... Tyre pressures as a lightweight 4X on the C28 from Swakop to WHK were 1.8 front and 1.5 rear. The C28 is a big wide dirt road between Swakopmund and Windhoek - Namibia. When I adjusted the tyre pressure from 2.5 bar to 1.5 bar was able to pin it all the way back home. Defender 90 can be a twitchy beast on a straight gravel line with speed. Tyre pressure adjustment helped. My personal best time from Swakop to WHK on the C28 still remains at 2H 59m ( Edit: time is right now) on a BMW R80 airhead roadbike mongrel. Life is good!

Well ranted! I agree 100% with everything you said. Please note, anything I may have said in the past (ie. Rails on doors of Ineos Granadier are for hanging jerry cans) are purely sarcasm. I love your lifelong devotion and please continue doing what you do. Your humility shows that even the best of us make mistakes and importantly overlanding should be about reaching the destination safely and not about the destructive testing of your equipment. Looking forward to the Hiace build with enthusiasm.

First of all keep up the good work on what you do. I find your introductory and knowledge very interesting an easy-to-follow. I know your video is 3 years old. In 2005 I got a 60 series 97 model turned it into a ute then put a 6.5 l Chevy diesel motor powder weight ratio was pretty much unstoppable. On the back I had some tool boxes which I converted to a workshop on one side tools and spare parts on the driver's side I built a full kitchen and it looks funny with me sitting on the floor in Bunnings with plastic containers sorting out how I'd like my kitchen with the drawers. I even got a C channel with flat bar aluminium and made the first awning which had tent poles that went from the rock sliders to the awning to keep it up in place no ropes were needed now Greg Brown from Opposite Lock said why don't you make a vinyl bag for it I said not yet not long after that everybody's taking photos even in the exposed I should have taken patency but I didn't today you see what people have today because Chinese bungalows took photos of my canopy everything. And today when I say what I said and I have proof all they do is bag you down so now I don't worry about the idiots and keyboard warriors. In 2006 I picked up a GU Patrol 2005 model. I told the people what I want they tried to tell me different but the suspension had to be done military style all it wasn't worth it. In the end I took it to a truck place at Archerfield where I got my plates done for the rear upper hangers for the spring so they don't Bend or Flex. Again a lot of people I got backlash from but I was the one still driving while they are stuck in the bush with fuel problems. You keep up the good work Sir because I do follow you when I get the chance.

Just a small mistake Andrew : the sprinter 4x4 does have a Low Range (45% reduction) but it is optional. And the clearance is 14 cm better than the normal sprinter. What it only lacks is a diff. Lock. But I agree that your Hi ace is certainly a better off-roader with all this Land Cruiser parts 😍 and keep posting recovery stuff we love it !

A lot of these keyboard warriors need a good "Fuck You!" and it's always a pleasure to watch someone puts them in their place in such a brilliant, professional manner. 😂 Unfortunately, you'll always get idiots with 4 or 5 years experience ripping up trails trying to sound smart over these platforms. You truly are a master at what you do ... "Fuck You's" included 😊 May The Build Be With You 😂

Mongolia is fantastic. We took an overland expedition - of sorts - in 2022. Eight days on Mongolian horses through the Gorkhi Terelj National Park. Ulaanbaatar was a bit of a Toyota town, although not as we expected. Hybrid cars are basically zero-rated on tax, so Mongolians import tens of thousands of second-hand Toyota Priuses from Japan, even though they’re RHD and Mongolia is LHD.

Actually the Sprinter can be had with a real 4x4. Iglhaut, Oberaigner and Achleitner build amazing conversions. On that note, Iglhaut also offers 4x4 conversions for the Mercedes Vito/V-Class/Metro with low range and 3 lockers. It would be quite Interesting to just take a Mercedes V-Class Westfalia Marco-Polo and have Iglhaut do their magic with it...

Andrew, don’t waste time with the haters and the negative ones, they are not worth even a second of your time. Those that are haters or are negative have issues in their own lives and are best ignored when behaving badly. We all do things from time to time that seemed appropriate at the time under the circumstances and learned from those experiences. Generally it is those with little experience that tend to be negative as they think that they are all knowing. Mate keep doing you, your knowledge and experience that you share with others is invaluable to helping those starting out in over-landing etc. With age comes wisdom, and there’s no substitute for firsthand experience. Cheers mate from another old fart 🥴

People accusing you of only doing soft roading have clearly never travelled to remote places. When remote the last thing I want to do is push the limits as that risks breaking stuff, which is not ideal when your thousands of kms from home. I got no issue with people wanting to to hard 4wd tracks, but a dedicated overlanding vehicle is not the right choice for that sort of stuff

Even I, did the whole of the Kaudum in 4 high in my v8 79 dualcab because of a sticky low range shifter, but ja, that's life, we learned and we enjoy the journey.

I’ve been plumbing 37 years , i understand your frustrations with people who don’t fully know the facts or believe they have the answer to world hunger. You need to read some Mark Twain quotes when it comes to idiots, Keep up the good work 👍

Andrew love your show and comments. Any internal switch in gear box yes, we were up at Cape York 2019 my nephew revered out of our camp site when to change gears and then the gear box just locked up in neutral, end result we towed the vehicle 20km to Bamaga and had to exchange the gear box. Looking forward to your tours and builds. Cheers

You are perfectly right. Communities on the web can be incredibly offensive. I've left several groups. Rude comments from people who would never say it to my face without getting a smack. Thanks for your great videos!

the only person who never made a mistake did nothing, it takes a better person to solve issues when they occur, I think you made a great recovery from getting bogged down and f the begrudgers

While 48v systems are the defacto standard for stationary solar installations, for mobile, there are still a few limiting factors. Primarily limiting 48v is mobile friendly gear, want an MPPT, no issue, want a 12 48v DCDC, your options are very limited. Victron, Redarc etc nothing from them. You'll have to resort to something like a Scotty or Sterling power to charge the batteries from the alt. If (when) there is a greater expectation of running mains powered devices away from shore power (like induction and air fryers), the bigger players will jump onboard when the demand makes it viable to produce the DCDC chargers. Early adopters, like always will have to pave the way for everyone else, with limited choices and inflated prices. Though, eventually multi volt systems will become the standard, it just makes sense.

I thought the same about the Sprinter when it went AWD until I saw someone go through the Simpson desert with an AWD model with relative ease and I’ve heard of them doing the Cape too. I do like the Hiace though.
