Hey Tyler As a lot have said already... Do what you do, you don't have to explain yourself to the people that either complain or don't like what you do. You have built an awesome channel with a variety of content, you have come along way in a rather short time. Well done. The Troll is looking great out on them tracks.👍

There are always trolls who watch and then decide they don't like what your doing. What's really going on is those same people have zero going on in their own life, so they get their jollies spewing on someone who is living life their own way.

[@johnnumbat9782]

You’re spot on with your balanced content and variety Tyler - I own a Hilux but it’s refreshing to see Nissan content for a change - I’ve owned two and there so much stronger than the Landcruisers IMO - I prefer the automatic ‘stop and go pedals’ in the bush and cities because it’s easier on the driver and drivetrain - I’ve seen many folk getting stuck on steep inclines with their manuals and repeatedly stalling the car and burning out clutches and yes I know it’s about technique but auto is definitely the way to go especially if you have a camper trailer behind you - John in SA

I drive a petrol auto GQ. Haven't done any mods to it but extractors as it came in a condition that seemed like it hadnt been touched since it came from factory. I recently got it down to 20 litres per hundred kays. Offroad it doesnt seem to use too much more fuel. Driving it offroad was such a good experience. Did a couple steps and some gnarly ruts and i was able to crawl it and had sooooo much control. For a first time offroader, it made such a pleasure. Ive thought about engine swapping it, TD42, TB48, 4jj1 or even a zd30 crd. But the way it is at the moment is just reliable.

Dont be discouraged by the haters mate, anyone with half a brain can work out, that whilst it looks like you are living the dream, the footage takes hard work, then there is the editing that goes with that, so any manufacturer/ supplier that is successful, would be aware of this, hence they would have a preference to showcase their gear on your channel as it reaches their respective target audience.
