I've been watching a lot of Ozzy 4x4 you tube videos like 24/7 4x4 and The Outfit. It's great to see some vids here in NZ.

Devastated to not be able to make it! Looks like it was a hell of a trip 🤙

[@032254855]

need more details on that cooking set up that is sweet

[@CrAwLLBLACK]

I second that. What is that little oven?

[@Falcon_Overland]

@@CrAwLLBLACK that’s just a cheap 240v air fryer, works awesome and was chosen purely because it was the biggest one that fitted in that spot. Much better than a 12v oven though

Wow it’s great to see you are back I guess you got your surf back on the road.

[@lostsheepadventures]

I'm not jealous... You're.

How do you manage to drive around without number plate?

[@spindryer7746]

Ever thought of doing this during Summer? Lol

[@Falcon_Overland]

Wouldn’t be as fun :)

[@lostsheepadventures]

haha I have. Although everyone is on holiday in Summer. Plus I work in tourism and therefore cannot take annual leave during that time.

[@joebyers287]

Inspired viewer would like to know where one gets 4x4 insurance? Moving to Canterbury and bought a soon to be modified Prado. Great channel mate!

[@lostsheepadventures]

NAC or Rothbury I believe cover people off-road. Cheers man!

[@joebyers287]

@@lostsheepadventures thanks bro, I hadn't heard of Nac. Keep'em coming and maybe I'll catch you in rut, or vice versa.

[@Falcon_Overland]

Fmg does off-road cover as long as your within your vehicles capabilities and just make a mistake. Great company but they don’t do agreed value so you need to get your truck valued

[@user-ik6mz3qf2o]

Epic vid! Where did you get the cargo barrier for the Hilux from?

[@lostsheepadventures]

It's designed for a Toyota Fortuna. Facebook market place, $50

[@steveray65]

Wow thats pretty cool ! I have a couple of questions . Do you have any info on the Kahurangi lighthouse drive ? Also, I'm a complete novice and have a 4wd L300 van so not hard core like you fellas ,thanks :0)

[@lostsheepadventures]

Is that along Cowin Road? Unfortunately, I was never able to make it out that way in my time up there. So I cant help much there mate, looks interesting though!

[@steveray65]

@@lostsheepadventures Yea thats the one! Thanks anyway

[@kurt9055]

What happened to the last of the surf build videos ?

[@lostsheepadventures]

Still being edited and released. The Operation Overland videos ended up taking priority for the end of the year.

[@kurt9055]

@@lostsheepadventures i look forward to seeing them 🍻

[@colesmith2781]

Awesome video Jonah! I recently bought a 1996 hilux surf here in the US! I'm looking for a cluster gauge set like you have, would you mind telling me where you got yours? Thanks!

[@lostsheepadventures]

Better late than never! It was an ETSY special. A basic, universal, fit anything kinda model. I then spent a day with a heat gun re-shaping it to the fit the curve of the A-pillar. Screw it into the pillar and then use body filler to shape the outsides. Dry, paint, dry install! Works mint.
