What it's REALLY like owning a 4x4 | Troopy Overlanding Adventures

[@SorelleAmore]

Are you an aspiring 4x4 owner or an owner? Or you're just here for the visuals? :)

[@keycontroller]

Just here for the sorrele😂

[@kingkangageo]

Am here for your personality ❤ and the visuals are stunning, the drone shots on the beach were amazing! And your car is badass!!

[@nataliestoppard4431]

Just the visuals for me, car is nice enough but I'm no car geek, and I like crafting too much to have no storage space myself 😅

[@ockertmouton9139]

Owner, but it's interesting learn about over landing. I am too tall to fit in a car for sleeping purposes so I live the experience through yours. Thank you for the journey!.

[@chibangukalaba5851]

Here for both tbh

[@peterfritzphoto]

I LOVE your carefree attitude, Sorelle. It’s impossible to watch you and not smile!!

[@SorelleAmore]

Naaaww thanks!

[@alerbuteler]

You are looking more and more beautiful and happier with each new video! Nature really is doing you some good, and it shows! ❤

[@SorelleAmore]

Aw thanks, it's true, nature has a powerful effect!

[@ChristopherKueber]

Thanks again for the update and the things you are experiencing with equipment failures are the things you either fix or weed through and find replacements that just work better. When I first started doing Moto adv riding trips the first rounds I either discarded things or fixed them to my liking or worked around them. What ends up happening is that you graduate from being a rookie to a seasoned vet. Enjoy that journey!! ❤

[@SorelleAmore]

It's such a good feeling to figure things out! It can be frustrating but also rewarding!

[@ChristopherKueber]

Damn straight. That’s always been my biggest love of adventure, the reward of becoming more self sufficient and learning about the whys and not just the how’s. We all know how to turn on a light but not all of us know why it works.

[@signsofplay]

Beautiful photography work Sorelle!

[@SorelleAmore]

Thank you so much 🤓🤓🤓

[@Sean-gu3tq]

Love you so much Sorelle . Currently in Chiapas on my Desert X on my way to Patogonia. So I sometimes get jealous of all your creature comforts …but I love my bike so much. R E S P E C T 🙏

[@brigittatelek8359]

Just loved the pesto pasta moments, pouring the hot water and the little dances are just so natural and simple things that are worth capturing

[@SorelleAmore]

Hahahaha. Thanks 😊

Ha. I think now. But thank you for the kind words 😃

[@Ricardo0141]

Hi Sorelle, I hope that the issues that you had to work through during the ‘set-up’ will be sorted out soon so you can focus on the amazing journey of discovery ahead of you! Love your beautiful sense of adventure. May you have a fantastic New Year! You are such an inspiration!❤

[@SorelleAmore]

Thanks! I'm so grateful for your support and I’m going to try to fix those things as soon as possible!

[@GlenB1963]

Merry Christmas. I hope you got to spend it with people who you enjoy spending time with. GB in Brisbane.

[@SorelleAmore]

Absolutely did! Thank you! Merry Christmas to you too :)

[@GlenB1963]

@SorelleAmore Hey, we are at Bagara, East of Bundy. We live in Brisbane, but this is our Christmas holiday destination every year. Please check it out on your travels. You will not be disappointed. Great spot for a sneaky free camping spot, and location for KZbin videos. Mon Repos, too, for the turtles hatching. Best wishes for your adventure. (Extremely envious)

[@filmbysarah1]

Your enthusiasm for adventure, nature and food is wonderful to watch :)

[@SorelleAmore]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@aleanalewis1384]

One of the best Paolo Nutini songs! Sending love to you and Neila from me and Rocket (my L300) in NZ 🧡

[@SorelleAmore]

Love the song! Hello to you and rocket from Oz!!

[@jerwalpole]

Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. Love the scenery so much. More please! :)

[@SorelleAmore]

[@turbotoni7971]

OMGGGGG, felt veeeeery connected when you listened to that Paolo Nutini song🥰🥰 very much enjoying your Neila content. Cant wait getting our own '78 Troopy ready to explore Europe - inspired by the roadtrips we did in great big Oz 🧡 Greets from Germany ☺️

[@SorelleAmore]

Love that song. And so excited for you!!!

Sorelle, Have a very Merry Christmas 🎄🎁💚

[@SorelleAmore]

Merry Christmas to you too! 🎄

7:32 Even in ancient times we knew where life started. And from a movie way back.. “You must lick it before you stick it!” 😂

[@ronfinch5532]

I used to have a 4x4 and two tracking every weekend. Now just old and used up. I’m watching to see your adventure and the places you visit. Right now I’m in two feet of snow. The flowers at the end made a vary nice ending. You should listen to your brain about your body still being that close to Dundees water hole!😂

[@SorelleAmore]

Thanks for watching, I’m glad you like the flowers! 🥰 and yeah, needs to stay away from water sources when the croc is so close 🫠🫠🫠

[@blackie75]

For anyone wondering, the song at the beginning is Not Blue by Kylie Dailey.

[@SorelleAmore]

🥳🥳🥳

[@poetsandreamers]

Love it!! Good luck on your continued adventure! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year - 2025 ALMOST here. Much love from Montana. You should come explore these mountains and the Wild West some day (: Dobranoc to you and Neela

[@SorelleAmore]

Montana sounds incredible, I will keep it in mind! Merry Christmas and happy new year!

[@CooeeAdventures]

I have decided to not include an induction cooker, that is an excessive draw of power. Hope you get to see a croc 😱 Merry Christmas and happy new year of travel

[@SorelleAmore]

Definitively no to the induction. Such a bad decision. Merry Christmas!!

[@henrikkarl25]

Did you eat both the salad and pasta at 9:44 ?

[@SorelleAmore]

Absolutely

[@hoadie]

Carnarvon Gorge is amazing, I was there late August this year, days after massive rainfall through Queensland, so there was so much water there. It’s one of my favourite places in Qld. It would be nice if you talked about the other places you stopped at, like the croc place - that looks a long way from CG.

[@SorelleAmore]

It’s definitely one of my favorite spots in Qld too! Place with the croc is the daintree. I’ll add a little more detail next time without giving away too many secrets. Don’t want to ruin Australia for many, and even the future tourists that need to stumble upon their own adventures and not follow a set itinerary:)

[@alberthartl8885]

Just wanted to let you know that the longer haircut looks great on you. Keep it going! ❤

[@SorelleAmore]

Ha! Just chopped it 🥳🥳🥳

[@Bunnybones87]

Couldn’t help but notice you were listening to The Great Dictator in the background on your travel, also I might want to look into a gas cooktop that could help your off gridedness so you’re not depleting your battery

[@SorelleAmore]

It’s a Paulo Nutini song and he incorporates that speech. I love it. And yep, gas cooktop is on the horizon 😳

[@Bunnybones87]

[@SorelleAmore]

Maybe next time 😉 haha

[@aishas5071]

Amazing life that you have created for yourself 👏🏼 The piece that is missing from your adventure story is missing is how and why you choose to go where you go. What is that process like?

[@SorelleAmore]

Yes! Thank you! I’ll explore that in some videos!

[@michaelfink64]

11:07: who else thought that head passing by in the background was a bit spooky?

[@jamesmazurstudios]

Boiling water with induction wastes too much power. Get a jet boil and burn white gas or propane. That should cut your energy use in half. And yes, another battery. Great video.

[@SorelleAmore]

Yep, already doing the jetboil trick! Next battery is on the list

[@colinross6259]

Not the only traveller to get ripped by dodgy mechs when passing through. Go get that croc sighting. Girl up. Don't have to hide from a Brolga.

[@SorelleAmore]

Nope, crappy mechanics will get you. Brolga’s aren’t gonna peck at me? Was such a weird and cool experience :)

[@colinross6259]

[@gd2232]

I’m thinking one in forty mechanics are competent. A good looking shop can be deceiving. How long have the mechanics worked there ? If they have a high turnover rate of employees walk away. And the tools they have. A professional mechanic has quality tools that have been acquired over years. A franchise shop goes by volume. Fast fix out the door. Need to keep an eye on them. A private shop owner that has been around awhile and has a good reputation tends to want to keep that reputation. All said and done… still luck of the draw sometimes. As far as recommendations from people… I’ve never had luck with that… 🙈

[@ricardocarrillogonzalez7049]

@@SorelleAmore Here in Colorado, There are many Overlanding communities don't really like sharing the expensive fixes for these added amenities and even some 4X4 Shops that sell these items will not tell you: 1. Changing the suspension and adding lift kits system ( it can change the geometry of your vehicle and cause fast wear and tear. even having big tires can cause parts to go quicker) 2 Changing the Electrical, adding solar power /battery system/ lighting systems can short circuit the system. Hot water tanks/ air compressor systems can fail. these extra add-on are really unreliable and a money drain. 3. Breakdown/unplanned repairs in remote places. It happens here in Colorado many times. Some Folks with a nice custom 4X4 breaks down in a mountain trail and they cannot fix it because the parts are not available because they are speciality parts. or the axel / drive shaft snaps. Oil pan gets whacked by a sharp rock. Or the engine/transmission shits the bed - because it does not have a good radiator for both transmission and engine cool while running hard. Just try to keep your Toyota as stock as possible. So you don't get A$$F'd on parts cost and repair. 4. Not investing in good vehicle armor: skid plates and rock rails and bull bar or brush guard. To protect transmission/ engine oil pan, fuel tank. But they have to be light enough to not stress your vehicle and strong enough to protect it. And accessible enough to service your vehicle. I would suggest the communities that overland in Africa are your best bet. They have the most no nonsense setups. Because breaking down in Africa can be unforgiving. And I love your setup

I don't buy the put on joy and smiles.You need to find a husband, get married and have children asap. Your looks will soon fade, male attention will dissappear and loneliness and regret will destroy you. Sounds harsh but someone needs to be honest with you.

Stranger on the internet trying to snap his fingers as if what you’re saying is so straight forward or as if you know the whole story. Thanks for your concern but also no thanks.
