Congratulations guys. It seems amazingly comfortable and practical at the same time. Looking forward to watching the next adventures in the new setup.

Looks amazing, can't wait to see it built out. It is a great settup.

Thank you 🙏

Toyota Hilux rules! Next modify it into heavily armored & heavily armed technicals in the future? :P

[@lewieandtherover]

Haha well that’s how you see them in the Middle East 😂

Congratulations!!

Thank you 🙏

[@UnderAchievrLP]

Damn so good, still want an alucab. Went with a much cheaper option but deleting tailgate is so nice, along with the build quality.

[@lewieandtherover]

Yes it’s beautiful 🤩

[@afzal.jahangir]

Congrats!! Amazing!!!

[@lewieandtherover]

Thank you 🙏

[@anic0485]

Interest to see the whole build later and how much space you guys end up with. Must be a huge upgrade from the 90. We traveling in our Toyota troopcarrier from Australia to Germany and can't imagine anything smaller then that in the different weathers we went through so far.

[@lewieandtherover]

We are really excited to show the end result! And what an amazing journey you guys are doing!

[@jefiwild9529]

Ziet er gaaf uit die mod cap. Wil hem ook graag op onze volgende overland project. Veel reis plezier.

[@lewieandtherover]

Dankjewel het is echt een fantastisch concept!

[@jefiwild9529]

@ We hebben nu een canopy camper op onze huidige auto maar op de nieuwe willen we graag de mod cap. Hij ziet er fantastisch uit👍🏻 succes met de laatste dingen erop en erin maken💪🏻

[@lewieandtherover]

@ oh wat gaaf! Ja we hebben heel veel zin hem te gaan gebruiken

[@drjill7]

More travels!!! Curious why you didn't get a defender 110 with alu-cab but I'm sure you had your reasons. Glad you are planning on more travel! Many congrats for many more miles! 🙂

[@lewieandtherover]

Yayy! We chose this one for more comfort while driving, airco, airbags etc. Thanks for following along 🫶

[@shaunmoller2997]

What an awesome rig enjoy and many 100000000 km

[@lewieandtherover]

Thank you 🫶

[@davemangle6448]

Keen to see how this pans out. I’ve got a duel cab Ranger that I’d be keen to do something with. I’m thinking chassis extension and build a pop top camper back on it. (I don’t think my Defender will cut it with 3 of us travelling)

[@lewieandtherover]

We will try and share as much as possible 🫶

[@ralfboegel6089]

I wish you all the best with your new Hilux- Looks great! How heavy is the AluCab? I have a friend who mounted a trailer Cabin on a Hilux and the frane broke in Northern Africa. However thus was a non-foldable carbon fiber cabin and I assume, this was much heavier. So I guess you will not have that problem. However Defender frames are signifficantly stronger than the ones of Hilux or Landcruisers - Everything is a compromise in one way or another...

[@lewieandtherover]

The Alu cab is 300 kg, fully loaded around 500kg but good one the hilux can take around 1000kg so we have to keep an eye out

[@iamnicholas9300]

Maybe you might consider to upgrade the rear absorber to support the weight of back load. Can't wait to see your new adventure in that superb hilux.

[@lewieandtherover]

Yes we will do that next week! 🫶

[@sumosquare]

Hi guys ! Looking forward to seeing the new setup in action ! Will you use the same rear view video mirror setup as in the Rover ? Curious to get the brand and model ! Thank you

[@lewieandtherover]

Maybe in the future we used the wolf box for the defender

[@Cali_Land]

Superbe 🤩

[@mac22011964]

This is a very similar set up to us. The Defender 90 will get you further in the sand and mud BUT the Toyota will be almost as good. However, living and long road journeys will be sooooo much more comfortable. Our Alucab setup has been amazing. The shadow awning is superb and can withstand high winds. We bought the side awnings but only ever take 2 sides with us and use them if we are staying a day or two somewhere. It means we can park to the weather side and get out of the wind/ rain and cook etc in comfort. The mattress IS great and sleep better than at home. However, we found it uncomfortably hot and bought a cool topper….game changer! We uprated suspension to Old Man Emu for lift, weight and comfort…..superb and brilliant on washboards. One MUST do for the Hilux is gearbox and diff breathers. Cheap and simple to do BUT will prolong life of both. Also uprated the underside protection and recovery points. You’re going to love this over the Defender. Not as much character BUT you won’t need a Chiropracter and a shower at the end of each journey!😊

[@lewieandtherover]

Thank you so much for your insights. We are glad to hear your experiences and can’t wait to get on the road soon!

[@dusssky]

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@saulmartinez6498]

it looks amazing, but I think you are wasting space by having the angled roof, was a full raised top not an option? Im sure it fits your needs, just curious.

[@lewieandtherover]

It is an option with the family modCAP!

[@avontuurlijkkamperen7388]

Wordt wel mooi, een 110 met hefdak was slimmer en zeker comfortabeler geweest. Maar, Alucab is een goede keuze. De awning is niets, gehad en snel weer verkocht. Daar zijn veel betere in, maar is vervangbaar.

[@Bergo101]

What’s wrong with the awning?

[@lewieandtherover]

Dankjewel! Wij zijn altijd erg tevreden geweest met onze alu cab awning op de defender maar we gaan testen, wellicht is de grotere anders

[@sebastianwyszynski4677]

Why you didn't choose LR Defender L110?

[@lewieandtherover]

More comfort and easy access to spare parts in Africa 🫶

[@jangeerts5063]

Nice! Did you work on the suspension of the hilux aswell?

[@lewieandtherover]

Yes we are going to a specialist in the Netherlands 4WD specialist they will help us with the suspension

[@roydebets]

Heel doordacht systeem, daar gaan jullie veel plezier van hebben. Ben benieuwd naar het eindresultaat. Maar wat gaat er met de naam van het kanaal gebeuren? Wordt het nu: Lewie and the Hilux?

[@lewieandtherover]

We zijn ook heel erg benieuwd als die helemaal af is! De naam laten we nog even zo haha

[@gregorekq]

Congratz ! Now the rover worship gang is and will always be after you for betraying the brand, you will miss doing hairpins in one turn, you will sh*t yourself much more often on traverses and sketchy tracks, but overlanding is not about brand love nor making yourself purposely miserable being stripped out of any conveniences on the road - its about being on the road, seeing places and meeting people. Having bit more comfort, more space, be able to have water reserve to take a shower and bear with yourself bit longer on remote trail, cook and sit inside when weather goes south, slap bigger fridge into the rig with more food supplies to be able to enjoy real, cooked meal in a stunning place instead of dehydrated-read-meal on a roadside parking and maybe even do such outrages things like have a huge inverter and battery and run a coffee machine or a hairdryer in the rig - these are not a bad things, especially doing it long term as you do. Ignore all the hate and have fun 😊 PS. you will be able to find a machine gun mounted hilux all over the world, so parts will no longer be a problem (not being in Toyota gang, still needed to admit this) :D

[@lewieandtherover]

We totally agree. It’s not the most sexy vehicle but I it will allow us to make our adventures much better so our films will also improve 🫶

[@Xiao-pi3un]

Do you guys carry weapons when you are travelling? For safety..

[@lewieandtherover]

Haha no we are not allowed. We have Lewie.

Be courageous: the Land Rover Fan boys will do their utmost best to get your arses..ignore it, move on and enjoy the Hilux..and learn more about Japanese buddhist philosophy..an integral part of the Toyota brand..after 25 years behind the wheel of a Defender and since 15 in a Land Cruiser I could never go back to a Defender..let alone my wife..happy to spend so much more time with me instead of making tea for me fixing niggly stuff on the Land Rover
