76 Series Toyota Land Cruiser Setup Packed for the Simpson Desert & Outback Australia Trip

[@ThePlim62]

I truly do love your setup. Very neat and very organised. I do have to say though, on the opposite when it comes to things in bags. One of the very first things I do when I buy an item that comes in a bag, is I get rid of the bag. I do agree that some things are better kept in the bag but boy oh boy do you save some time unpacking and packing when you get rid of the bag.

[@4wdadventurer]

Thanks mate appreciate it. With the bags, for us, we move between the 76 and our camper trailer all the time. So having everything in bags makes it super quick and easy depending on which setup we are using. Grab a few bags from the trailer and throw them in the 76 and off we go. Really depends on how you use your setup. For us, bags make it really easy.

[@charlieross3054]

was thinking the same thing.. looks good at home, but on the track.. the bags are gone..

[@kevinwaters-marsh217]

Inspiring. Thank you. Well done. An organised waggon definitely makes it easier and that much more relaxing. Take care.

[@4wdadventurer]

Thanks mate. Yeah an organised wagon is a must. Nothing worse than struggling to find things.

[@lewisjeffreys9175]

Well set up, gives me confidence that a 76 will take as much as my current canopy setup.

[@4wdadventurer]

Cheers mate. Yeah if you can get the storage laid out well and have some good compact gear then you can get quite a bit in the 76. When we get the back seat out and make a few storage additions there with water etc it’ll then be tops for touring.

[@Phil-ud2vv]

Just purchased my 76 thanks for a great vid mate I’ve got the inspiration thing working now 👍👍

[@4wdadventurer]

That’s awesome mate. Always exciting starting a new build. Check out our blog for lots of build posts if you need any more inspiration.

Organization makes for a fun trip. I went across the Simpson in 2019 with a mate and every time he packed his car each morning it was packed differently. I knew where everything was in mine and he would turn his upside down just to find a bottle opener.

[@4wdadventurer]

Haha that’s the worst mate having stuff disorganised. A well organised does make any trip more fun. So much better when everything had its place and is easy to get to.

[@Doctor-en8dj]

What a setup. Amazing work.

[@4wdadventurer]

Thanks mate really appreciate it!

[@jaredtansley3236]

Looks bloody awesome matey

[@4wdadventurer]

Thanks mate 👍 need to do a vid update as setups changed a bit again 😆

[@shaddonaghue]

Really well thought out set up, good idea with the water and fuel thats the best place for the weight. Thanks for sharing

[@4wdadventurer]

Thanks Shad appreciate it mate. Next project is to remove the back seat and get permanent water storage and more storage options for spares etc.

[@shaddonaghue]

@@4wdadventurer yeah , thats the go. I still haven’t pulled mine back out to carpet yet and take some measurements. It is handy though 👍👍

[@ilove2explore]

Thanks, really good to see how you packed for the trip, definitely investing in some canvas and bootliner bags

[@4wdadventurer]

Cheers mate. Yeah canvas and bootliner bags make a massive difference. So much easier to pack and move. After this trip and all the rough roads, nothing got damaged. They work a treat.

[@christurner68]

after a few days on the road, do another view of the setup, I dont think everything will be quite so right dressed ;) Take a photo and print it out and laininate it so you have a pictorial reference for packing back up.

[@4wdadventurer]

Haha. It ended up being pretty good mate. It was more me giving my old man a hard time as he kept putting stuff back in the wrong spot. But worked out pretty damn good the whole trip fortunately. Just a bit of moving stuff around each day as things got used up.

[@mackf7275]

Excellent setup, love. I set up my 100 series with similar ideas. Shows you dont need a trailer.

[@4wdadventurer]

Thanks Mack. Yeah you are right. If you get storage right and carry the correct gear you definitely don’t need one.

[@shaneturner6887]

Awsome setup man

[@4wdadventurer]

Thanks mate. There’s been a lot of work gone into it.

[@shaneturner6887]

@@4wdadventurer tell me about it they feel never ending sometimes but well worth the effort when you pull into camp an everythings sorted

[@4wdadventurer]

Yeah 100% mate. After this trip we’ve decided a few more mods to come. Haha. Never ends. Back seat will be coming out eventually and permanent water storage. Hopefully get to the Jerry can mount on the rear bar soon as well.

[@Johnnywraphood]

Nice setup. Where did you get those shades on your barn door windows?

[@4wdadventurer]

Thanks mate. They are from Solar Screen Australia. Check out our blog post here 4wdadventurer.com/4wds/land-cruiser-build-rear-solar-screens/

[@Johnnywraphood]

@@4wdadventurer thanks for that. Been looking for something like this for ages.

[@4wdadventurer]

No problem mate. Hit them up they are very well made and fit perfectly. I think they cost around $200 for the rear side windows and barn windows. Make a big difference with heat and added security with no one being able to see our gear.

[@Dudesunperfect]

Hi mate, where did you get the rear window lining stuff?

[@4wdadventurer]

Hey mate. We have written a story on our website about it here 4wdadventurer.com/4wds/land-cruiser-build-rear-solar-screens/ Solar Screen Australia based in Brisi.

[@deusvult2553]

Hey mate, how are the LED's fitted to the roof of the rear?

[@4wdadventurer]

Hey mate. When we had the setup running like that, the one on the LHS was just the magnet on a steel bracket. The ones in the centre rear shelf, cut out the carpet to size and then glued them onto the ply.

[@deusvult2553]

@@4wdadventurer Ah nice. Thanks for that man. Did you have a false roof?

[@4wdadventurer]

Na at the time of this vid we had a rear shelf setup we built. Check this vid here. Shows the lights etc. unless you are referencing a different light? DIY Drawer Modifications to Our Existing Drifta 4WD Drawer Setup kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKe8eWicqd2EbpI

@@4wdadventurer I can see much better. Cheers boet!

[@Keithygeorge]

Did you make everything above the Drifta draws?

[@4wdadventurer]

Gday Steve. Yeah we made the side shelf and top shelf. We did up a blog post showing how we did it all. Check out the link below. 4wdadventurer.com/4wds/land-cruiser-build-diy-rear-drawer-additional-storage/
