OKA HANDOVER - FIRST LOOK AT THE NEW TRUCK!!

TWO YEARS IN THE MAKING and we are FINALLY HERE!! The time has come for our Australian Made and Built Expedition Truck to finally be handed over to us!
It felt like this day would never come, but here we are... and in this episode you'll find out if the wait for really worth it???
Come with us as Karstan flys from the east coast of Australia, all the way over to the West Coast, so that he can get a run through, see the OKA's capabilities and of course give his tick of approval.
This is the beginning of a big dream becoming a reality, the OKA is soon to be our new home on wheels and we are officially BACK ON KZbin to share it alllllll with you.
Thanks for your patience, we are pumped and so very excited for what's to come.
Cheers,
Karstan, Max, Zu and Ze

Finally, is all i can say. Thank you for showing me Australia is still alive and kicking. I love your Australianism, showing life in Australia. Don't change, you are Australia to its core. Never stop showing what you can achieve and your passion. you and your family are true Australian iconic legends.

[@user-jz1ht8ry2w]

@@awesomeness8206 Oh you are so awesome lol

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

Wow your comment is amazing ❤️!!! THANK YOU… it’s people like you who inspire us so much and keep our passion alive!!!!

[@graemetowner7257]

What have you bought. ?..you've bought freedom ! Great to see you back, been far to long, can't wait to see the fit out and your amazing adventures

[@edwardfletcher7790]

Have you never been in a big 4WD before mate ? Huge tires and good articulation make a massive difference ! Strongly suggest you join a 4WD Club to learn how to best use the vehicle. Learning the vehicles limitations will help you avoid damage and keep from getting stuck. It would be a wise investment. I love the hard core way these rigs are built, they're mining grade vehicles, totally different from a standard production line vehicle. You don't have space to waste on an indoor shower, that's CRAZY....

[@Oregu7]

Yay!!! Our favorite Australian family is back! Thank you!!!

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

Woohoooooo so happy to be back 😍

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

Always had a soft spot for Okas. Fitting one out would be a dream come true.

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

Can’t wait!!!!

[@jim-se5xc]

So good to see you both back. It's a terrific colour. Needs a bit of dust on it.

[@campwinnietravellingaustralia]

Great to see you legends are back! One of the very few KZbin travellers that are authentic! Much love, from us 🚌👨‍👨‍👧‍👧🐈‍⬛

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

Thank you so much 😀

[@michaelguerin56]

Nice vehicle, Karstan. This video reminds me of my Unimog training in New Zealand, several decades ago. Our trucks had the proper size tyres, unlike the cheaper undersized tyres that the Australian Defence Force purchased. This experience is obviously far more special for you, because it is your own brand new vehicle. I wish you and your family many happy kilometres of driving.

[@marnimacfee4734]

EPIC!! Best family vehicle ever.. so excited for your gorgeous family for all the adventures to come. Enjoy the spoils 😊

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

We will!

Nice one! We did 2 .5 years in our oka 20 years ago around oz with our kids ! Oka 316! Would have loved a diff lock and auto back then ! One thing I would say lift the pop top higher and put a bed up the top! Get into it ! Best life

[@Lee-astrololee]

What a rig, looking forward to seeing it on the tracks with the whole family, what a journey! Congratulations Karstan & Maxine, may the spirit of adventure give you amazing memories, instill the love of nature, freedom and travel in your kids so they too can follow in your footsteps when they are older! What a great learning curve this OKA will be! Woohooo what a beast!

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

Fantastic to see you guys back! What a magnificent machine, and (Western) Australian made... you've gotta be happy with that! I look forward to your testing and putting it through it's paces to see just how well these new model Oka's perform, as well as seeing this awesome family and your adventures :)

[@ws4051]

You did it 🎉!!! Congratulations guys, what a busy year. So thrilled to have you back on the screen. Can’t wait to see where the new adventures take you. Have a blast ❤

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

Thanks so much!!

[@bryanbadger6841]

So while you were walking us through, I was mentally adding up the vehicle cost, the cost to set up the living area. Have a reasonable idea what that involves. Unknown would be cost to freight one across the ditch to here in Nz. Ok dreams cost nothing. Bloody awesome mate. Looking forward to the next chapter in your life's story. Thanks for sharing. And of course, welcome back. Cheers.

[@leannechurches5227]

If your OKA doesn’t have central locking we would say do it at this stage. We own a Tommy Camper and love the central locking which includes all the smaller boxes too.

Great to see you guys back. I've missed your enthusiasm, Max's beautiful smile and all the fantastic places you visit. The Oka looks like she'll offer you plenty of good times. Have you thought about having the rear row of seats on a slide, so you can move them all the way forward to increase floor space when parked up?

[@KarstanAndMaxine]

great to be back !! slides are a good idea .. so much to plan in the next week ..

Woohoo 🤙🏻👏🏻😄

[@SUPERTRUCKER166]

So incase you didn’t know there are restrictions on both rear overhang and numberplate angles, so a push bike on the rear behind the spares won’t work legally, and the safe t cams will ping you on number plate angles. Same with speed since you are limited to 100kmh once your gvm is 4.5t or above, the average cameras fitted all in nsw/qld/vic are linked. As for the build out, probably worth talking to Tom at Ultrafab, he is in boolaroo, and has done a couple of custom built truck bodies and fitouts, infact he has mine getting done currently and is up for handover next week (it’s a dual cab canter)

[@andrewmorgan4306]
