[@AJ-qn6gd]

Watching these old episodes during lockdown (covid 19) reminding myself that there is world out there !

[@AW-xv7dq]

best fun you can have getting away from the crowds and enjoying the quiet and serenity that is more and more difficult to come by these days

This video was made long before Toyota built a double-cab version of their 70-series PU. This was shot in South Africa.

+4xOverland Hello there, I have watched all the videos you have made and found my passion to travel around the world. But I have a question. How do you make your travel funding. If it's possible could you please give me some advise on how to get funding for travel expedition. thank you

[@charlieandhudsonspal1312]

I hit thumbs down by accident

[@BelloBudo007]

I've only just acquired a very nice 76 series Troopy, so I enjoyed watching and listening to the suspension information. Very interesting and extremely helpful. Thank you.

[@Bouwentjes]

Thanks for posting. Love to see more. Like to see the young kids traveling with you, got two young girls myself who always go along with our travels.

[@Unit13FREMSLT]

Wow that conversion is amazing. Look at all the skill and craftsmanship.

[@simonlivsey1210]

Hey Andrew, you look like the 3rd Leyland brother in these old videos!

[@JeepCherokeeful]

Some full-time center differentials are more effective than others, such as certain Torsen equipped Toyota's vs the less effective model in that Land Rover Defender.

[@adelarsen9776]

I used to think that Gas-Oil shocks were the best but my opinion has changed. I prefer the all-oil type shocks.

[@adelarsen9776]

John is such a polite chap. The kind of SA I like.

[@takayama1638]

Very helpful to me Andrew. Baby boomer, hehehehehe, I got you by a few years, but just got my first 4wd a few years ago, and know nothing about how to use it. I learn...

[@Bugoutvehiclesuk]

spot on.

[@johndemello8802]

Great video, great people!!!! Just great!!!!

[@79series]

A better dual cab than the Toyota dualcab

[@runnerxa]

Great video series no matter how old it is! I can't stop watching them. I do have one question regarding the full-time 4WD/permanent 4WD system that you mentioned. You said locking the center diff to enable 50/50 ratio front and back to gain the safety advantage of having real 4WD (regardless of high or low range). If I want 50/50 front and back or if the going gets tough, I would definitely lock the center diff. I can see that one wheel spin can cause you to lose traction if you have an open center diff permanent 4WD system. What if the vehicle is equipped with torsen sensing or viscous coupling locking center diff that changes the distribution ratio front and back depending on the slip? Just like a limited slip center differential. Would you still recommend locking the center diff? Example vehicles would be Jeep Grand Cherokee, LC Prado (LC120/150), and LC100/200.

[@4xoverland]

Viscous coupling transmission means that drive is even over all wheels, and therefore its less necessary to lock up that transmission to get the safety advantages. Its really only necessary to lock when traction is extremely uneven between the wheels, I.e. when wheels lift etc.

[@fookdatchit4245]

+4xOverland I'm hooked on your vids, and such a well rounded sense of humour to, thank you very much for sharing

[@kooky216]

Thanks for posting these. When was this filmed?

[@outdoorfugitive2613]

If I lock the central diff lock and turn at a relatively high speed or drift, can it damage the vehicle?

[@rand0mGT]

Nice old video

[@ShiftyBigmac]

Why not import as these are already available in Australia from the factory?

[@husseinkimwaga638]

[@Toad_Hugger]

4xOverland Nice! Very enjoyable channel, by da by.

[@jasonhowe1697]

question do you still have the rights to all your old material ?? especially the docos you did..

[@4xoverland]

I still hold the rights to all my material, including all the docos I did. Why do you ask?

[@jasonhowe1697]

I was thinking may be start converting them to dvd and or blue ray..

[@4xoverland]

They were made into VHS tapes, then DVDs from 1996 to 2013. Today, nobody uses DVDs, and nobody buys this kind of programming on BlueRay. Instead, all my productions, are available as high-def and 4K downloads on 4xoverland.com.

[@KHGuitarFreak1988]

Is it just me or did you lose quite a bit of weight compared to your first video on KZbin? o_0

[@4xoverland]

This was shot nine years ago. I was thinner then.

[@dyermade]

You also had more hair!

[@mickerlou]

get a new camera

[@edwardcharles9764]

Why are these films uploaded again and again? I've seen this at least 3 times now after it being uploaded yet again.

[@4xoverland]

There are a few video bites of the series, 4WD-season-1 already on KZbin. The vast bulk of this series is not on KZbin and will be uploaded in the coming months. In addition, some old uploads that are of poor video quality have been replaced with high definition files.

[@JamesTheCaptain]

Stop crying edward

[@4xoverland]

This video has been unloaded only twice. The second time was to improve video quality. Sorry if this offends you.

[@edwardcharles9764]

NUTZ OffRoading Just thought we suffered enough repeats on TV without finding them on You tube. Maybe you can't remember what you've seen.
