I live in a Land Rover pt.2

[@bluesummers5051]

After spending so much time looking at Sprinter conversion videos, I have to say that I find these box SUV set ups to be much more appealing to me for some reason (and overall less intimidating to approach as a project). I might just have to pick up one of these older landrover models!

[@FrankFramesThings]

Yeah so much more character with the Box SUV's or bigger SUV's (even a Patrol is nice for camp setup), but the downside is that you can't stand up and have limited space, so you need to get out more :)

[@moseschristopher]

Frank, Dude! your an inspiration! Foxy is the perfect travel partner and moving to Iceland to be able to drive her is epic.

[@FrankFramesThings]

Thanks man! I appreciate the support

[@mudurogluumut]

I am already hyped up for the next video.. This is a very tough life choice you doing but everyday seems to be awesome with Foxy. Appreciated!

[@freddiehill1512]

Love it...always wanted a land rover as a kid, and am going on tour soon, and thought, I could live in one...sorted

[@simonwalsh1161]

nice, had an 02 110 hard top for last five years more or less stock but with time on my hands have removed tub bulkhead and have started looking for ideas to convert to bed and kitchen you have plenty of realistic mods that are functional

[@cartoonyyaya7985]

5:44 I though that was your bed hahaha

[@FrankFramesThings]

haha, bed-storage-seats.. not much space in the Landy, so you gotta use every inch..

[@briangrosse2099]

Nice build. Please provide more information on the engine diagnostics product mentioned in the video. Thanks

[@FrankFramesThings]

Thanks man! Well i think it's a bit too technical to go into in the videos. But the diagnostics product is the Nanocom. Google that and you'll find their website to order from ;)

[@jontysvideos]

Unreal mate such a sick setup definitely the dream for me too! Keep it up

[@FrankFramesThings]

thanks man!

[@Dukereid95]

[@FrankFramesThings]

Thanks! I’ll keep you updated ;)

[@FrankFramesThings]

[@vesna.stanic]

Inspiring! Looking forward to new videos!

[@FrankFramesThings]

stay tuned for more 😉

[@Sebastian10807]

Actually interested in what boots you have there

[@FrankFramesThings]

Goooooood question, I wish I knew, cause i destroyed them and would love to get them again. I only remember I got them from some random shoe shop in Iceland, not the greatest quality..

[@promenteryrobbins]

Love anything to do with living in a Land Rover. I’m planning to live in mine for several years, driving around the world. Only the virus can stop me...

[@nomadthreeonebravo8940]

I'm curious as to why you showed "platform" in text as you said it. I listened to that segment a few times to make sure and it sounds to me like you said it correctly.

[@FrankFramesThings]

It was just to emphasise on the word, specially since I said it so many times. So no deeper meaning, just a silly joke. And keywords are nice ;)

[@filippomarsura7139]

Really nice video!!!

[@FrankFramesThings]

thanks Filippo!

[@Fourtyseven47]

Yes Frank! Incredible! Stay safe! Regards, Panda the Landy

You are one handy lad sir. How do you make money along the line?

[@FrankFramesThings]

Im a freelance videomaker/photographer

[@NafstaPolarIce]

Hey there! I was curious about your roof rack, where did you purchase the mounts/brackets, or how did you build it? Looks awesome!

[@FrankFramesThings]

I ordered the bars (including the brackets) from FlatdogUK, then build the rest with wood, bolts that slide into the bars and then wood finish

[@NafstaPolarIce]

@@FrankFramesThings amazing thank you so much!

Beautiful Defender! I love it! Did you buy it in Iceland or mainland Europe?

[@FrankFramesThings]

Bought it in Belgium ;)

[@zeebraeend]

Just came across you channel. Love the build, but I do have a question. Does the solar controller compensate the high current from the battery when starting or do you switch it off? P.s. if you're Flemish and it's more convenient for you, you can answer in dutch. Geen probleem...

[@FrankFramesThings]

Thanks Xander. The solar controller is connected directly to the leisure battery, so it doesn't charge the starter battery or interfere with the car circuit. This is possible since I don't have an automated dual battery setup, I have a manual switch to decide if the accessories run on battery 1, 2 or 1+2. That last setting I only use together with a cutoff on the starter negative to be able to charge bat 2 with the alternator, I never start on bat 2 since its not made for starting. So the short answer, the solar controller isn't connected to the starter circuit when starting. PS: I do speak dutch, but I thought the answer could be interesting for others ;)

[@zeebraeend]

@@FrankFramesThings Absolutely. Thanks for the info. Groeten.

Land Rover = Rust bucket!

[@FrankFramesThings]

not if you maintain it, also with less than 50% steel on the car its definetly more manageable than non-aluminium body cars.
