My Low Budget Landcruiser Setup For Solo Camping

[@SiCrewe]

As a wise man once said "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with". Altar took care of you for a long time but there's a different LC100 here now, ready to go on adventures with you. Give him a chance.

[@OverlandLady]

that quote is so good🥹

[@2-old-Forthischet]

It's a never ending thing. I've had my travel trailer for 10 years now and still changing things around. My cargo van has gone through so many changes, I forget how many! I only have two camping trips on my 4Runner and have ditched the platform bed system I made already. I rather have the headroom.

If fuel consumption is an issue you can always convert the Cruiser to Deisel. Expand on your fabrication skills and reuse something. Thats actually being more ecologically friendly by reusing/recycling. Us fabricator Hot Rodders have been recycling metal and vehicles before it became a thing :)

My 270 became a 180 after a vicious windstorm that caught me by surprise. Frame is bent but still works overall.

[@megkav2921]

Girlfriend i had the same problem with reaching a fridge. I bought a drawer fridge. Absolute game changer! You can put things on top of them even stack them two high for a fridge/freezer. GAME CHANGER!

Each day, we learn something new. Fresh ideas come into our minds, because we have different backgrounds, and therefore gain more perspective. Stay inspired, because you are doing, what we all like doing, expanding the possibility of how we travel, and the remote places we reach. As we go, we also inspire others, because they inspire us.

[@westernwanderer8397]

I'm happy to see you getting back to what makes you happy. I hope you find your ideal truck soon.

The new Landcruiser reminds me of Altar, that's where your heart is. Happy for you!

[@ryandavis3228]

Ever since I watched your videos I have changed my mind and I’m getting a 100 Series. Lost my house but hopefully this will get me away from the apartment. Got to get away

[@unconventionallifestyle4827]

In life, when we know what qualities we are looking for, we can find them. Even when putting all the aspects together takes some fabrication skills. What skills we lack, we can acquire and adapt, ... because the end goal, is to be functional, in the best way we can...which makes each step of the way, inspired by the light we see in future. Each individual, has something different, something to contribute, which is not fully known to others, because we are all made as different as our finger prints, ..to honour our creator, with our end results

[@rogerclift2705]

So good to see you back in a 100!❤️. Love the build. Nice job for the Maxtrax. Recycling is a great idea.

I've seen that slide-out-drop-angle fridge rack. That would be so helpful for you! Thank you for these videos of layout and explaination. Keep enjoying the outdoors and showing us as well!

Good morning Monique, 08:26 in Victoria Australia, lovely to see your smiling face again…curious to see which vehicle you end up with, thinking it’s still going to be a Toyota Land Cruiser somehow 😃

[@NorseMan633]

Love the new ride !! Now ,. let's get back to some great adventure travel videos ! Peace !

[@rubiconadventurewithscotty3258]

"...and you can see how the vibe changes with the patch lights" LOL

[@insaynbcr]

Monique, you can stiffen the 1/8" aluminum platen for your MaxTrax by adding some "speed holes". Basically drill 1.5" to 2" holes and hit them with dimple dies.

[@ImNick97]

I have 4 landcruisers. Nothing can scratch the itch if you’ve got the cruiser bug. Looking for a 70 series now, but here in the states it’s hard to find the perfect one without importing it yourself.

[@davidmilledge221]

Import a 79 series from Australia u get the V8 or from south Africa you still get the famous 1hz 6cl inline diesel motor which is still the best 👌

[@Malc664]

@@davidmilledge221 Right hand drive would suck though (in the US)

[@unconventionallifestyle4827]

@@Malc664 if you have a left hand drive body, you could build over what you need, or convert a complete vehicle to left hand drive

[@emsi-tv]

Forget about 70 Series. Much better to drive 80 Series.

[@9greatdanes981]

That’s a great rear bumper, I need With more clearance for Moab Utah. I live in Arizona, so any off-roading is rock crawling. I would love to see an “cross America trip.” Maybe all the way home to down highway two to Cabo San Lucas and back home highway 1….. Sure you could Plan a awesome adventure

Wow that awning is perfect exactly 4 me so I can still have the ladder on back to get up in roof top tent ,because I want the shower on other side carnt put ladder there , cool cheers I didn't know they made them 😀

[@hubertgailuron6402]

Je suis heureux de vous revoir en route pour de nouvelles aventures. 👍

[@Nickwillfixit]

So a good starting point, but I see no fire extinguishers having had two friends who encountered the dreaded fire one saved as he was camping where there was a dozen other campers and a good half had two or three per vehicle so only lost his backup solar set up the second lost everything in the bed of his Ute and the topper he put it out by reversing into a river nearly losing it from flooding in the process but at least 10K in damages. So think about at least a couple one in the passenger footwell you can get brackets that adapt to the front seat mounting points either a universal but there are companies do vehicle specific ones, have another at the rear mount to the tailgate so always easy to grab.

[@OverlandLady]

I have it in there now. Had to use it while in Western Australia. Was a close call. Definitely must have

That land cruiser is you, you loved her and she loved you! We expect nothing less than you in another 100 series

[@classicscustomsandhotrodso600]

I’m still seeing you in a Troopy or even a country ambulance. Did you see any here? They come in several sized backs from hi tops to just slightly higher which would be more suited to your offroading. It just gives you that little bit more room. If I ever get rid of my ambulance, I’ll be getting into a Troopy without a second thought. Stay safe and eat your vegemite.

[@newlion7013]

Great series👍

[@Eye_Candy_Promotions_Australia]

Good morning and g'day..

[@surfing4theloveofit]

Great video monique, your hair is looking nice, 😊, how long do you think you will keep this 4x4, don't spend to much on it unless you can take it to the next build 😉, keep well, love from Australia ❤

[@wayne2101]

Is that a fuel can behind your driver’s seat? If so, do you ever smell fuel? I’ve thought about carrying extra fuel inside. Thanks! Love your videos.

[@OverlandLady]

Nop don’t smell anything

[@tomassanesson902]

Sooo awesome epik beautiful video

[@210musicman06]

I don't see the patches to order online.

[@madcat4563]

Do you have a preference for a petrol 4wd over a diesel one? Altar was also a V8 petrol. Or is it a case of what is available? I know in Australia, it would have been easy to get a diesel, but not so much in America/Canada. It's interesting that this one is heavier on fuel than Altar.

[@OverlandLady]

Any LC100 in Canada would haven been an import because we never sold it in local market. And i’d love to have a diesel but they are pricy..

[@StevenHuber-i2x]

It's life

[@StevenHuber-i2x]

[@davidmilledge221]

U need a 6cl diesel 80series landcuiser better fuel economy and a more rugged reliable 4x4 and get a clamshell roof top tent u will never look back

If you still had your old vehicle, you could have done an engine swap instead of getting rid of this and buying another vehicle. #JustSaying

If I knew i’d get another everything would be easy. I was dead firm I wasn’t getting another one hence sold everything lc100 specific.

[@SteveBurns80]

Should've left those flares off and kept away from zero offset wheels, looks like a botch job and never really works well on the ifs 100series, especially if you want to get the most out of your front suspension.

[@SteveBurns80]

@OverlandLady Ah, no thanks. 🤣

get some lotion on those elbows.

Great to see your happy self out there doing what you love. Did you consider the possibility of an upright fridge. So much easier to get into and you never need to looking for the item that is right at the bottom of the chest fridge 🫣👌🏼 keep being you 🙏🏼

Great idea! Might look into it

@@OverlandLady I’m not sure what the height constraint you have above your draw set up? To make the homework easier. The Bushman 65X 65L dimensions are height 530mm, Width 455mm, Depth 515mm. Might fit in ok?? 🤔 Thanks for your reply 🙏🏼
