Awesome videos so far 👌 Australia really is a spectacular place. I hope my wife and I can do the same thing in our 80 in the future.

[@JRCadventures]

Great video guys! Looking forward to more content to come

[@_ourgreatescape]

Thank you!

[@guseva1]

Great video guys I subbed straight away when I spotted your 80 series. I have the same year except mine is a 4.5 petrol bought it just as covid hit for 10 grand. One owner mint condition 350,0000 when I got it and I love her...even though she gets about 300 metres to the litre lol. Many camping trips already with a basic set up. I have always felt very comfortable taking her long distance touring and camping. Love your channel and looking forward to following your new bus build cheers

[@maryc2927]

Great video guys, very helpful 👍🏼

[@_ourgreatescape]

Thank you!

[@sly9263]

Really awesome build- thanks for taking the time to share and hope more is to come (subbed)!

[@_ourgreatescape]

Thanks for watching!

[@DIFFLOCKERS]

Up the 1hz ! shes got me around Aussie 3 times. shes still pumping along here in WA.

[@paulgriffiths7399]

Awesome video guys. So glad I stumbled across you two. Your videography and editing is unreal. I have the exact same 80 with same specs and same ks 😊. We just have a double bed inside as the only real difference. Wish we were able to travel full time for 2 years like you have. My main question as I couldn't see it in your FAQs... Is how have you been able to support yourself for 2 years what's your main source of income on the road?

[@_ourgreatescape]

Thanks Paul! Can't beat a good 80. We initially saved for a year of travel but then worked a couple of different jobs along the way and we now run our media business on the road. This is our main source of income now.

[@ChaunceyBronson]

That’s a sick truck y’all. For your one stone arm rests; which ones did you use? I can only find the ones for the 70 and the 200 series; I really wanna sort those tho. Any info there would be most helpful. Keep it up, that’s a great truck

[@_ourgreatescape]

Thanks! We used a 70 series armrest. They fit straight onto the standard model 80 series. You can also fit them on GXL 80s with slight modification.

[@jamesallo6625]

Epic set up guys! Any details for that interior roof net and where you got it from? Might look to get one for my 105, seems so handy.

[@_ourgreatescape]

Thanks mate! I'm pretty sure it was just a cheapy from Ebay or Amazon.

[@aaronmendes_]

Muito legal o canal de vocês! Grande abraço!

[@_ourgreatescape]

Muito obrigado!

[@Lmitch10]

These things are the opposite of “budget” in the states. Sequoia is the best budget over here

[@_ourgreatescape]

Yeah, especially since covid!

[@MagaliRabasse-gg4yw]

😍 i want the same !

[@Zekriax]

Loved this! My main question is did you guys have any close calls with snakes while out camping/hiking in the outback? haha

[@woudjee2]

Very nice :D

[@bilegtsdf5776]

My man, you indeed have a beautiful girl and an excellent vehicle. You won in life,

love those camp chairs! what brand is that?

[@adambeck7146]

Love the car! what brand is the rear wheel carrier? or did the car already come with it?

I saw a familiar 4wd few days ago in Darwin city, is that you?

Gvm upgrade?

[@_ourgreatescape]

Nah, no GVM upgrade. We're right on our limit though

[@harrisonh4642]

@@_ourgreatescape you’ve done well. I was 300kgs over with a very similar setup

[@krimke881]

You really don't need anything, when you only need to wear shorts all year round. Take a trip to the arctic. I'll be guide =)

[@hjfilms2615]

Can you put AGM batteries under the bonnet?

[@_ourgreatescape]

Not all, but certain types can go under the bonnet

@@_ourgreatescape What type have you got? Love the drawer system too

Thanks, We have a century dual force I believe! @@hjfilms2615

[@N_ickoutwest]

A sensible touring setup? I don't believe it.

[@danthesolarman6480]

You can't really call an 80 series a budget 4wd 😂

[@_ourgreatescape]

Haha I guess not anymore. It definitely was 5 years ago when we bought it!

there is nothing budget about a land cruiser
