As an expedition vehicle builder here in QLD, you're absolutely over doing it with the steel frame for the cabinetry. Not to mention welding it to your ROPS body frame the OKA has. Too late for the dinette part, but seriously switch to knock-together alloy frames for the rest and clad with light weight cabinetry. You'll be saving weight for extra water capacity and the eventual caravan ball weight. You'll say now you'll never have one but I've had more customers than you can imagine give in and get a van. You have a brilliant, self sufficient, crazy capable tow vehicle, the van will be the "base" you never knew you needed. Also, when the kids fly the coop you can re-arrange the knock together frames and reconfigure it to suit the two of you.

So here's me thinking guys, that after you'd done the tape outlines, and said what each section represents, you would look directly at the camera, flick your fingers and say, "and by the magic of technology, here's everything completed." However, real life is not like that. Things take time. Hey it's been a long time coming, people, and now the finish is not too far away. Wishing you and the family all the very best, as you get closer to finishing the project. Best wishes from across the ditch here in Nz.

I know what you mean about the pains of sorting things out and working out where things go... It is such a trial-and-error part of a build, but you are soooo right. It's the most fun you can have with your pants on. Ours is still ongoing and has taken the form of a Truck and Trailer to travel the country. It is good to have the extra room to take all the stuff too.

I fitted a rotating and sliding plate to my double front seat in my vw T5 which allows it to spin round with ease because it slides backwards, forwards and side to side then locks down with five locking bolts. It’s a beautiful bit of engineering. Not sure it would be available in Australia though?

Very impressive and looking so forward to the build and your future travels. Just been in touch with OKA as we were already saying how limited we are with a Landcruiser and what you need to do to make it capable off road but still have limited space and resources like fuel and water. The OKA is manageable on remote tracks where as our other choice is a real truck so limited where we can go ! Thank guys - going to be watching your progress with anticipation!

I can imagine how cool this will be when done. Love the fact that you have kids (like myself) and are making a build to suit the family. You don't get to see that often. It's usually just couples on the road. Just curious (& I'm half way through the video, so it might be mentioned later) but are you planning to make it pop-top or raise the roof at all? I can't imagine crawling around in there all the time.
