Rear Bumper & Meet and Greet. 20-Year-Old Land Cruiser Restoration, part-13.

[@atomicsmith]

Excellent video. Always love when Paul is in your videos. He seems like a great friend.

[@stormrider1119]

When Paul says he's always at the end of the phone if someone needs support you know he's an absolutely great guy. Another fine video on this build. Thank you

[@atoyotacalledamelia600]

Paul really seems like one of the most genuine people I have ever encountered.

Looking great! That sticker definitely completes it!

Interesting to see the number of "seniors" at the meet and greet. As with me now that I have the time and opportunity to build and travel we as seniors can take to the tracks and are always looking to experience new ideas, knowledge and friendships. Good luck on the maiden voyage.

Did you miss Dale?

[@mohammadjyhad]

If all mechanic were as keen as Paul Marsh,we would be in safe hands and have peace of mind💯👏

[@richardglossop9085]

Good luck Andrew. The Land Cruiser looks a dream, can’t wait to follow your adventures 🚖⛰

[@promenteryrobbins]

Really enjoyed this episode. Great team spirit - Paul Marsh is a real gem - so much experience, as well as an outlook that ensure the vehicle is tailored to the needs of the customer. I hope you’ll be really happy with the way the vehicle turned out. It looks superb 👍

[@christiankruse5193]

What an incredible job! Not just the mechanics, it’s all the process starting from the idea!

[@SiCrewe]

Love the way this starts off with Andrew showcasing his own truck but it's not long before he's outside, nosing around other people's vehicles as well. That 2-door Range Rover was beautiful, BTW. I recall Andrew saying, in a previous video, how the thing he likes about Toyotas is that they're always reliable so the vehicle, itself, is never something he has to be concerned about. I wonder if that'll change now he's driving a truck that he's built himself? I always find that building a vehicle makes you much, much, more aware of the potential problems each component can have and, as a result, you pay much more attention to everything, often to the point of paranoia.

[@maverick2242]

It’s not the vehicle that’s the problem, as usual it’s the people that’s work on it before he and Paul got to it, unfortunately the down side of buying second hand, you never know what you are going to get until you take a bite and by then it’s too late, just like a box of chocolates, no give backs! I’m sure they will sort out the gremlins in the end. Moral of this story never buy unseen, the internet never looks as good in person!

[@leenderdhoutzager9389]

Enjoy your excellent car, well build by a very professional Paul Marsh, safe driving Andrew

Great series, awesome build. Too bad we all can't have a friend like Paul. Hopefully he starts a KZbin channel as well.

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

What a nice wheel carrier. I loathed the one we had on our old 60. The rotten thing used to pull the bumper off. Got the guys at the Men's Shed in Rockingham to weld it up for me and they used some hefty lumps of rebar. It never moved again after that :)

[@Ktmfan450]

Great build Can't wait to see it in action

The pride in your eyes when you installed the stickers on the rear glass is priceless!

[@saulgoodman9490]

Haha that lady "Dale" (a former workmate in Brisbane had a wife named Dale too) was genuinely star struck! Good onya Andrew for being so down to earth. Also to the "critics" saying things like "of you could get a much more modern vehicle for what you've spent" errrrrrr nope you can't buy vehicles like this anymore......

[@danschardein856]

Have throughly enjoyed these build episodes!

[@kclamer]

That rear bumper is amazing. I have a rear steel bumper from CBI and the swingout latches sideways instead of up/down so when I hit corrugations the swingout moves up and down making a clunking noise no matter how tight i make the latch. The design of the Gobi X is perfect.

[@nicolaslorenzo9654]

Damn wish I was there. Next event I will be. Well done on the build guys. It really was a great success and looks awesome. Thanx again for another great educational video Uncle Andrew. Can't wait to start my journey in the overlanding game. Cheers

Great job chaps!!! Andrew now all you need are a set of South African manufactured General GRABBER X3'S...😉

[@JohnRolyAU]

The GOBI X bar looks like a lot of ideas from a Slee Offroad rear bar from the US. One handed open, gas struts, arms clamped to the bar. tyres and clamped to the backing plate under tension to stop vibration. I have one of the only SLEE 200 Series rear bars in Australia.

[@donewhiskey]

5:32 There are a metric tonne of single handed wheel carriers, on the market. For my vehicle, I depress the handle button and the gate opens with the bumper mounted carrier. It's literally one step.

[@Malc664]

Good stuff. 👍

[@edplaysdrums8435]

They welded the centre diff for the sake of the manual wheel hubs, i own a 105 too, i wouldn't do it to mine but it would work. Its a full time 4wd from factory but some people dont like that.

[@gzahnd]

CBI in the US makes rear bars and carriers that can be operated with one hand. I’ve had other issues with their swing arm pins, but to their credit one-handed operation is easy.

[@mughram]

dear Andrew what about ( Kaymar rear bar ) ? i am really interest to see your thoughts about it

[@fredbrackely]

If, many years ago Mr. Marsh was a school teacher, I would have skipped every other class just to be in his.

[@billroach2393]

Fitted a bigger fuse.....what about heavier wiring? When I fitted a 270 amp (mil spec) alternator to my 100 series years ago, I used 35mm² (aka 2B&S) cable between the alternator and battery. The fuse protects the cable. Putting in a bigger fuse without changing the cable size, could result in disaster.....just saying.

[@philhealey449]

On the same tack, your 270 Amp alternator charging at 14Volts would consume likely 5.5 to 6 kW of shaft power, so belt speed might have needed increasing and/or more angle of pulley contact from an extra idler.

[@jonburchell2760]

Agreed. Alarm bells were ringing when he said he upped the fuse because it was melting. Now the wires will melt instead...

[@ekhaat]

Awesome

[@soufyenbouzakher1766]

[@nickogden6200]

Is there any chance that Paul could pop over to the UK ( the weather is lovely at the moment , no need to bring a coat) to have a look at my 20 year old Hilux ? It has developed an intermittent fault my poor old mechanic is struggling to cure . The damn thing keeps cutting out at the most inopportune moments and he is running out of suggestions . My family keep telling me to buy a newer truck , but I am resisting as it quite sound otherwise.

Interesting to note in the greet and meet no Black South Africans. Surely there are some Black South African fans, it strikes me that they did not turn up. Just wondering why?

[@jimbobjones9119]

"Sigh....!"

[@thabonchu1568]

You seem sincere, so let me help you out here - Black people generally are not into 4x4s, and less so into overlanding. We prefer our city life now and the cars we buy nearly always a cultural expression in itself - if you have "arrived" as a BP, you'll drive a Mercedes or BMW and it should have a big sound system and fancy wheels. I am an exception (happily) and have for some reason always liked 4x4s, my pride and joy being a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, which I've rigged for overlanding (well, not quite there yet) Also remember that Black people are a minority in the Western Cape (where Cape Town is) and 4x4 owners among them are few in number. I'm from Gauteng and as a member of a club, take part in weekend events. But please tell me - do indigenous Australians (the ones you haven't killed off :)) attend meet and greets, and 4x4 events in general?

[@atamanatlas3098]

@@thabonchu1568 Initially I thank you for your response and I was sincere, I don't know much about South Africa, that is why I asked. I was unaware that Black people were in a minority in the Western Cape, which makes sense to me now. However, your comment "do Indigenous Australians (The ones you haven't killed off:)) attend meet and greets and 4x4 events in general?" comes across both facetious and disingenuous. In fact, you know nothing about me or my background. I am not anglo - celtic and my ancestors were not the ones who committed genocide against the Indigenous people of Australia. I say genocide in the true sense of the word. If you apply the historical facts of what happened to Indigenous people to the UN definition of the offence, not only in Australia, but also throughout Africa, India, The United States and South America you will see it was European peoples that committed those atrocities. However, I am not here to discuss history or more appropriately historical facts. I was genuinely concerned (Read: inquisitive) as to why there were no Black Africans at the meet and greet, was it demographics (as you state a minority of the local population) , was it geography (as in distances involved in traveling) , was it they are not into 4X4's or overlanding (which you answered) or was it informal apartheid still being enforced. I accept prima facie your answers which clears things up in my mind but your last sentence ruined your entire post.

[@thabonchu1568]

@@atamanatlas3098 Allow me to assure you that my reply was indeed facetious! I am sorry if I offended you in any way - from what I know about Australians, they enjoy a bit of a dig at each other, as much as we do! As far as 4x4-ing in South Africa goes, I've always been made to feel welcome at any of the events I attended - more so than in Australia and New Zealand where I recently visited. As for "informal Apartheid still being enforced" does it not strike you that perhaps your comment was disingenuous?
