Welcome to the ROAM Overlanding channel! In this exciting episode, we take you on an overlanding adventure through the Tankwa Karoo National Park with not one, but two budget build vehicles.

You'll see our vehicles power through rocky trails, cross dry rivers, and tackle steep inclines with ease. Witness the incredible durability and reliability of these budget builds as we push them to their limits.
We'll also discuss the modifications we've made to our vehicles, showcasing how it's possible to create impressive overland vehicles on a budget. You'll learn about the challenges we faced and how we overcame them to create these capable and reliable overlanding machines.
As we explore the stunning landscapes of the Tankwa Karoo, we'll also share our experiences and insights into the joys and challenges of overlanding in budget builds.
Join us on this exciting journey as we explore the Tankwa Karoo National Park in our budget builds, proving that you don't need to break the bank to have an incredible overlanding adventure. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe to the ROAM Overlanding channel for more overlanding content!

Yay major step up for short shorts uncle Andy!

[@thunderbear0]

His isuzu is gorgeous

[@andile.ngcobo]

I'm definitely one of the people that used to say "oh poor Andy" 😅

[@fatmanoverlanding]

Its good to see Andy and his rig out and about, and with him (Andy) sporting a huge smile on his face. It goes to show you don't need to have the latest and greatest rig and gear to start having fun off-road. Just be sensible and you can venture out on the road less travelled on a budget.

[@HammerRocks]

It's refreshing to see through Andy's eyes the excitement of someone new to 4WD overlanding. It brings back memories of my own experience nearly 20 year ago, as a 19yr old when I packed my 1st 4WD (NL Pajero), and went on my 1st 4WD overland trip with two mates, and covered nearly 4k kms in two weeks. An overland trip to this day that all 3 of us still think back with fond memories. I spent all my money buying the Pajero, which left me little money for mods. Just enough to afford a set of BFG ATs, a roof rack & a pair of IPF driving lights from ARB. Other than that, the Pajero was stock standard. I've since been in countless 4WD overland trips that were longer, more challenging, better and more exciting. But nothing beats the feeling of the first real 4WD overland trip.

[@RoamOverlanding]

Absolutely 👌🏻 I left on my first trip on my own for a few days through Lesotho, crossing mountain passes and river beds, camping in the middle of open grassy valleys. All on my own 🤣

[@YouthR6]

In my opinion i would love toe see Nicki get a buget build because i can see he loves what he is doing and just imagine a budget build for him i think it could be a great oppertunity for him btw love the videos❤

[@RoamOverlanding]

Nicki has a little something that he has been working on for years, hopefully one day I can share that with you 😋

[@chubsmash7602]

Thank you Roam Overlanding for these videos, really loving your work ♥

[@RoamOverlanding]

Thank you for watching, and I am so glad you are enjoying it!

[@seanscott685]

Man I love this!

[@pauljansen6650]

Yes finally! If nothing was sponsored and an average joe had bought the exact same vehicle and paid for all the upgrades/labour/accessories. What would you estimate the total cost to be including the bakkie? Would you consider it budget still?

[@happygramper]

Again... sponsorship does not align with "budget build" although I am chuffed for Andy.

[@pauljansen6650]

@smuggler1807 I'm not bothered with certain things being sponsored or a workshop helping for free but it would be great to get the monetary value for those things and add it up with the other costs to get a real picture. Great episode...

[@RoamOverlanding]

So this build crooked Andy a bit on the maintenance side, so we lost alot of the budget there; but our initial budget of 250 included all the things you see on the truck; but the reality is it comes closer to 300.. But then you look at the Tata, and over this trip it’s going to really surprise you how great it does at a fraction of the price of even the Isuzu 😋

[@pauljansen6650]

@RoamOverlanding Thanks Adrian, appreciate the reply. Yes the Tata money was very very surprising, so little. Same price as my Bushtec with some accessories.

[@AwesomeAnto]

Hard work & consistency getting rewarded is a joy to witness. Touch on wood to many adventures of Andy & Old Soldier.

[@leenderdhoutzager9389]

The Isuzu looks great

[@Sir_Chuckmyster]

Wow, Well Done Andy, with Adrians help. Awesome 😀

[@burtonrania1303]

Jaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh the ANDY!!!! well done team ROAM........

[@suesanders263]

What a wonderful very kind thing everyone is doing for Andy. Happy for Andy

[@patshes1951]

Cool drive! Good luck with the Tata, a real budget 4x4.

[@francoisrossouw1656]

That Isuzu is purring and Andy has got a Lekka dos spot in the back heaps of space

[@DieterPey]

That is a very smart setup inside the tub like that. So much potential!

[@paulsmit8147]

Just replaced my cab rubbers (between body and chassis), engine mountings and gearbox mounting on my Isuzu Frontier. Now i can feel how shot my suspension is, thought my ride was going to be better 🙁 Awesome on sorting out Andy 🤙👍

[@nqumthemba]

Andy is on a TakeOff.

[@mekerekatjiuongua]

Andy is such a great person. I love how he films such great shots.

[@jonathanvolmink4518]

How do I double like videos!!! Love love this! Its got so much of everything overlanding related. Tankwa is one of the most magical places to experience. Thanks for sharing it again. It really is amazing. And so different from most other things. It's why people keep going back.

[@patshes1951]

And now the tankwa is completely flooded . It wil look really good next summer.

[@robwainwright5387]

So nice to see normal (unmodified) 4x4 trucks. Mostly we see hugely modified Hilux or Land cruiser's with everything (except the chicken hok) bolted on to the roof. Well done.

[@troopyinafrica]

So nice to see Nicky & Andrew there with you guys. They are a special breed of nice people. Looking forward to the next show🤙. Oh and check you later this week at TT for the meet and greet with ASPW & Paul Marsh 👍

[@marvinshi]

[@oaitsemoremi5657]

This reminds me of you when you started with the VW amarok,wow!👊🏼

[@ultimatendlovu1425]

Been waiting for Andy and the beast!!!!!!

[@asafmenjivar7936]

there is so much I loved about this episode... "Friends" they make the journey even more enjoyable... loved the music too it all fits nicely... thanks for posting and sharing man. I doubt I will ever get the chance to visit Africa but you make me feel like i am there. thanks again.

[@r1017397]

Thanks for your efforts Lads, you provide such an awesome relief / break from my boring old daily grind

[@RoamOverlanding]

Our pleasure!

[@mphomolefe3340]

heart warming ... great job. 😍

[@ghostsfsa942]

Awesome, great episode.👍

[@taurota1554]

Awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

[@RoamOverlanding]

Glad you enjoyed

[@AsherPardey]

Hi Adrian, I've just found your channel and I've literally binge watched almost all your videos. They're so good, and you're super inspirational! Thank you!! Now all I need to do is get myself a 4x4 somehow! :)

[@RoamOverlanding]

Really glad you’ve been enjoying it! Welcome to the ROAM community! 👏🏻

[@bevanbrukman8117]

Saw you on the m3 kaapstad the other day with the hilux

[@RoamOverlanding]

👏🏻👏🏻

[@billyflatt]

Andy needs to get in front of the camera way more often.

[@RoamOverlanding]

I agree! But he is very camera shy 😂

[@davidkelroe-cooke4766]

Hi Guys Thanks once again for great videos! I couldn’t help noticing a greater looking fan in Andie’s vehicle. I have been looking for something for our setup which doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Would you mind sharing details on your fan, and is it 12v?

[@RoamOverlanding]

Our pleasure! I’ll ask him! I think he got it off takealot

[@lawrencelesedi536]

How many cameras are you using my brother

[@RoamOverlanding]

Just one

[@cathyhackland4598]

Hi there see you are all running diesel aditives to your tanks .please do some research on this .not a good idea. Rather run an extra filter

[@RoamOverlanding]

We run extra filters and diesel additives; the additive we use is the Flash Lube Diesel conditioner, it reduces CO2 emmissions and assists in water separation through our 30micron filters. I even get better fuel consumption out of the truck

[@cathyhackland4598]

@@RoamOverlanding thank you for that what is the cost of the flash lube who sells it

[@RoamOverlanding]

It’s sold by Terrain Tamer 👌🏻

[@cathyhackland4598]

R300k is not for everyone
