Keviin 07's had 7.not so smart..

[@overlandphotography]

You're absolutely mad Andrew ! I find myself getting all excited for you. I love your enthusiasm and the credible information you share on your channel. Thanks for sharing

[@garthhayward9581]

Looks great Andrew your enthusiasm is infectious. 👍

[@mikeboone4425]

The enthusiasm is very telling and it's rubbing of on us .Happy Trails

[@BorisEkner]

I agree on the road signs reflecting the strong light of the vehicle. Been there, done that.

[@Hazardbone]

This is how they should come standard. You've just finished off what toyota started👍👌

[@playingbadgolfwell9732]

No greater love than between a man and his truck (and dog).

[@sseibonnevilleman]

100% agree with having a home shop. It’s amazing how much work you can get done in 15-20 minute stents of garage work.

[@donatodei]

Andrew is the Godfather of Overlanding! Love your work mate.

[@tjodleik]

I just love the way you express your true feeling when you describe the parts and thought prosess.

[@LandySmurf]

I love that you are very honest about parts ect. Makes this channel quite unique (along with other reasons too). Even though I am a Land Rover guy I still find these builds interesting and follow with interest.

[@jameslovestokyo]

It took me a while to notice that between leaving the dealer in Perth (@1:30) and talking about the bull bar (@19:30) you’d replaced the oval Toyota emblem with the simpler ‘TOYOTA’ badge on the grille. Very smart!

[@TyFenwick]

Bloody awesome Andrew ! Can’t wait to watch it all come together 👍🏼

[@gotoylc]

I have watched many of Andrew SPW's videos these last few weeks. All these 4x4 youtubes build and info are the same no matter whom does it. What is exceptional about Andrew is the way he puts it all across; it just beats everyone else by furlongs. Keep up the good shows Andrew, you do it with all your energy and passion.

[@ezee8317]

“Why do you have a bull bar… That’s why!!” Love it hahah

[@emu4wdadventures631]

Some bloody nice stuff you’ve got there Andrew. Steve 🇦🇺

[@CampX4]

Andrew that is very true, you carry recovery equipment an always help other people out. I'm on 3rd tow rope / belt, all ao them was used and some damaged helping other people out. And it think when it comes to the winch, a person would rather use the winch instead of other methods, is because of ease-of-use. Thanks for the good video.

[@coover65]

Awesome video! We have troopcarriers in our fleet at work. These things are about as indestructible as a motor vehicle can be. I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to drive one through the most inhospitable places in the world. When I say "most inhospitable", I don't mean Jo'burg either!

[@raybulmer5707]

Fabulous, Exciting!!! I'm off to buy a Lottery ticket - again!! Great stuff.

[@JustPete65]

I enjoy following your build but can't relate as I don't have your budget. It's like watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians for lifestyle tips. Your Africa build is right up my alley

[@franksteenhuisen7223]

[@warrenmaloney2497]

Yes. I love your truck as-well. Thanks for letting me be a part of this build. Regards, Warren.

[@drivingparadox]

Really looking forward to this build. We live vicariously through you Andrew.

[@iansaunders8694]

Hi Andrew . Fitted a reservoir to my compressor 30 years ago made it extremely user friendly and I always had the correct pressure in my tyres for the conditions because it was so quick and easy.

[@BorisEkner]

As an old radar engineer I got 6 different antennas x two for my two quad band hand held walkie talkies. Meaning, depending of the frequency used and wanted distance I can now choose the best antenna option.

[@greatsouthernoverland]

Oh man your excited!!!! looking forward to seeing the rest of the build Andrew:) Great work so far fella.

[@philipschaefer8556]

Andrew, you're absolutely right about the light color. I do lighting design for both indoors and roadways in the Arctic and one of my biggest frustrations is that no one is making lower Kelvin LED driving lights. The rods in our eyes that are responsible for most of our night vision are several times more sensitive to blue light than to red. So it takes much less blue light to see by at night, the flip side is that it doesn't take much blue light to kill our night vision. This is why aircraft cockpits and military flashlights use red lights, it has almost no effect on night vision. Here in the far north we have another issue, which is snow. With snow on the ground anything over about 4,000K color just washes out and you can't see ruts or drifts. So I'm waiting to put LED upgrades on my 4Runner until someone offers them in 4,000K or even better 3,000K color. I look forward to hearing how the 5500K lights work out, but I'm afraid they'll be no perceivable difference from the common 6,000K+ lights.

[@PaulEglinton]

Nice one Andrew. Love the enthusiasm.

[@christiankruse5193]

I just could hear you all day long! Thanks again!

[@BenMitro]

Thanks for sharing your deep knowledge of vehicle building for overlanding Andrew.

[@MR-xv5oo]

Wow i just love this LC . I so wanna get LC and build it up after watching this video.

[@wyattoneable]

I'm really enjoying this series Andrew.

[@adnanimran007]

Congratulations on your new built and to see you loving it!

[@87xfute]

Hi Andrew, you probably already know this problem, but when you put your lights up on the bar work behind the cab, I found that the bottom part of the light beam comes into the back window of the cab and lights up inside, so I made 2 aluminum flat plates up with a right angle along one edge and sprayed them black and I attached the to the bar work directly under the lights and this worked a treat, no more light in the back window !! Just thought you might like to know mate. Seeya Rob

[@beto12345]

Amazing, the brands and options WOW. They were really nice, i'm a bit jaleous. Great build! Now i'm waiting for new updates and reviews.

[@WEEKENDSOUTDOORS]

Realy excited about this build! I just picked up my sandy 79, great work as always.. A true story teller 👍

[@jimbojones2457]

Awesome video Andrew! Looking forward to the build. Welcome to the dual cab 79 world. You'll love it!

[@murda2999]

What passion!

[@Mambey]

Used to have 3 hella 140's on my zook years ago. Nearly stalled it when on. Good lights in the day. Hella ralley series lights were also good.

[@oldluxy]

I have also heard of this issues on the Suzukis

[@Mambey]

It wasn't really that bad but if you wanted more power up hill you turned them off. The old 1324 cc's of sheer grunt ,was a 1986 lwb . Wish i still had it.

[@oldluxy]

Quite proud that my Like moved the count from 109 to 110. Can't wait to see what you're going to do with this vehicle.

[@edwinzamorasilveira377]

Enjoy your videos so much!!! Thanks 👍🏻

[@fixittony]

I found your channel a couple days ago. I don’t own an off-road vehicle but now I feel I should. I will keep exploring your channel-new subscriber!

[@leenderdhoutzager9389]

Congratulations, hope you have safe trips, enjoy buildings your dream off road truck, nice kit that works

[@intercoequipment2495]

Love that Twin Compressor, Blows up Tractor tyres easily

[@yorkchris10]

Nice to see one to got to town on.

[@chukpic]

18:00 that's a very important distinction great share there

[@philhealey449]

Some good things here ! I'm very jealous of the Hella haul. Noted you noted the bracket robustness! I've lost many lights to bracket fatigue and had already selected some mean Hella integrated LED integrated headlights for my present build. For multinational use I'm also now sold on having two independent sets of headlights avoiding compromise with sticky plastic lens shields.

[@TrazzaBoy]

Great to hear the Hella name again. I’ll be taking a look at their catalogue.

[@12v_obsession92]

Very interested to see how the Hella lights go. I have kept my old IPF Halogens spotties for the exact reasons you stated. The good LEDs are... too good.

[@henrygreen19]

It's going to be an obvious good build, this one. Happy building !

[@edmaxwell4110]

Love your new truck! Very slick!

[@finnianfitzsimons623]

Congrats, loving the new build.wish it was available in Ireland

[@FPVsean]

One of his autobiography troopys is being shipped to Ireland right now! Whoever the hell bought it better use it!! I'd love to see it out and about

[@sean11cvt80]

Full width of Ireland to turn it😂

[@Leonoto]

Favorite truck, just wish it was available in the US.

[@coover65]

We have these in our fleet at work-bloody as near indestructible as a vehicle can be.

[@seantowlson7051]

Soooooooo looking forward to this build

[@igorshpyrev3222]

Great project ! Waiting for more videos and updates.

[@Ian-le3bu]

Hi Andrew, we are following your build with interest

[@michow.buecher7290]

Recaros are always a good choice. Mine saved my life in a severe accident last year. The way they hold you in position and support your body is amazing.

[@ruimachado8560]

the car looks good ,even with no bumpers

[@seanfrench1029]

The compressor air reservoir principle is correct. It does speed up the inflation process. The same principle is used filling many air cylinders (ie scuba tanks) with an inline air bank. If the filling is interrupted when changing tanks, the compressor tops up the air bank (reservoir) further which allows decanting/boosting when connecting the next tank. That little ally tank is quite neat - provided you have the space in your vehicle to mount it out of the way.

[@PhilTaylorPhotog]

Loved your Landcruiser history video. I do hope one day you decide to do a 200, and set it up exactly how you wish (extend/tray etc). My history is: as a 17y.o. in 1997 my father bought a “fishing 4WD” which essentially ended up as mine. It was a straight six FJ40. I used my entire wage each week on petrol...90l to get to work, and another 90l 4WDing with friends in Tassie on the weekend. Don’t regret it one bit. Since then: BJ73, RAV4, Prado120 underpowered diesel, FJ Cruiser (amazing fun, but a struggle for a family of 5) and now I’m very grateful to own a 200VX V8 Diesel...and it’s incredible. Despite many years of 4WDing, this year I get my first chance at a Simpson crossing. Love getting in for a drive, for no reason. Very much understood that. Thanks for your work!

[@edwardpeters4700]

Completely agree RE the ARB tire repair kit. It's excellent. Looking forward to the lithium battery verdict.

[@wilso7235]

Very nice! Just getting my 2nd cruiser myself so it’ll be interesting your set up with the accessories. Enjoying your vlogs👍

[@79cruiser]

Hi Andrew, wow what a great bunch of products. The tyre inflator with the digital gauge is smick but get a cable tie or a big lacky to hold the lever down to inflate the tyres. Otherwise you are kneeling to inflate your tyres. With the flash tanks and double pump that'll be quicker than my single one, but the lacky will be worth it. Can't wait for the engine bay improvements. Cheers Graeme

[@anthonymorris479]

Loving the new build mate.

[@renaudcolmant760]

Fantastic ! I’m french and see for the first time your vidéo and Iunderstand your perfect English accent 😀 I subscribe ! and I’m going right now watch the others !! Thank you very michel for your show 😉

[@RoundTheFire]

Andrew, I think Santa is going to need a GVM upgrade on his sled to carry all these cool parts after everyone watches this video and starts writing their Christmas list for this year!

[@edstar81]

Can’t wait for rest of series

[@tyonarms6735]

Nice video Andrew. As always watch everything you put out.

[@nellbrown770]

awesome truck, looking forward to seeing how it turns out. very envyous, wish we could get them hear.

[@stevencrawford]

Winches are important to me. We do a great deal of beach camping in Qld and almost always solo. With a large trailer (Austrack Savanah X), the cut into many of the sites from Bribie to Frazer can be tricky just at that point of the angle where the transfer (weight/power) to the back wheels just digs you in when dealing with the really fine soft sand. Really the only time I have ever had to use the winch on myself is with the trailer. Thankfully have never needed a self-recovery when not towing. Still nice to have when soloing. Enjoy the new rig.

[@tosgem]

OK, I had to go and look up some of those products. The T console looks great!

[@jamesieza]

Your years of top class content have earned you all of those sponsored accessories and parts. We trust you to keep telling us your genuine opinion of worth it or not, as though it was your own money.

[@shekharmoona544]

I used Hella fog lights, for a long time. I never had an issue with them with condensation build up.

[@aeromech8563]

Looking forward to this build Andrew, as I have said before to you I love my 105 and it's all set up and I won't be selling it. However when I come back home mid 2020 I have decided to get a tray top never had one myself either! In the 16-18 4WDs I have owned and its that space that is intriguing me so much so it's a 79 for me soon. Keep up the good work cheers 😎🇦🇺🛠

[@philbox4566]

I just counted how many Landcruisers I have owned since 1980. Um, 2. Yep, I am on my second vehicle as a daily driver. Both Troopys. Best trucks ever.

[@rapps101]

I subscribed after you spent a moment talking about how you got the accessories and your obligation (or lack there of) to review them. Thank you!

[@davidshannon4854]

Well you don't need to review them after you have said you wanted them because they are "the best on the market", do you! I wonder how I will go if I ring up GME,ARB etc and tell them about my new build, and how I would like to use their products?

[@johnhammond9174]

Lots and lots of fun and toys very jealous love seeing what your up two from England 👍👍👍

[@AdrianLeviAU]

I have a Runva 13XP on my Hilux. Both times I have had to use it, it did the job. I had the same research experience to find it as well.

[@jaykanngiesser3454]

I have ARB dual air compressor and tank in my rig. I recommend to mount tank vertically with inlet on the bottom with a drain and the outlet on the top Very important in a high humidity environment. I also run paint gun air dryers on my locker air lines to prevent corrosion and freezing up here in Canada.

[@BorisEkner]

@Andrew read this, please … This is what I’ve done in my car and others before that. I have “groups” of extra lights facing forward of tiny car. Each “group” has its dedicated relay. Each relay has its dedicated earth-wire. That wire has a on/off switch in the cabin. This means that now I can control what extra lights (group) turns on together with my original high beam. I have used this set up for many years and it works like a dream. - Let me know if you have any questions, I will happily answer any you might throw at me!

[@coptotermes]

Awesome stuff as usual Andrew. I’m watching this build closely because I’m going to be doing something similar quite soon, although I don’t have the $$. Thank you for your videos, love your style and the wealth of knowledge you share.

[@toytoy8013]

Hi Andrew, looks like you are prepping yourself a nice truck, you should try Torsen diffs on this one, you won't believe how much it will improve your grip on overlanding and especially when it get hairy in sand or mud. With that long wheel base you don't want a be using difflocks which will increase even your gigantic turn radius. I tried them front and rear on my mid base KZJ73, and whished i had them on all my landcruisers, Lc80 and 100 instead of OEM locks and traction control.. Enjoy your build

[@albertvanputten]

Great Great Great video 👍❤️

[@maijhiselemani458]

Thank you Andrew...

[@MrEddiecos]

Hi Andrew, love the channel, I have a tip for you for your GME antenna. Keep the cap that is fitted to the spring base, yes the one that says to remove & discard, it's the right size to fit over the threads on the antenna, it will protect them when you need to store it. Cheers.
