While I love to see the highly modified (expensive) rigs, it is great to see something that is within reach of us poor plebs at the bottom end of the scale.

[@vaughnsigal4560]

A 2011 model 4.5L V8 turbo diesel troopy is definitely not a cheap vehicle haha

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

$35k is a whole lot closer to what I can afford than the dream machines like Ronny's truck or Andrew's Troopy.

[@truthspace5525]

I'm building a 1997 Jeep TJ. I'm about $4500 Canadian into it. It's built from two Jeeps. My labour was free.

[@0whc]

How much would Ronnys truck be?

[@kylepengelly8718]

0whc 90k

[@mickmiddle3331]

Sandra and Peter have done the most amazing adventures in a vehicle most viewers of this channel would call 'a good vehicle to start the build. With no experience and zero knowledge of Australia they have managed to show their viewers more places in this amazing country in a well edited thoughtful and respectful way than most of us will ever see. They should be very proud of what they have achieved (so far). A big shout out to Ronny as well for being gracious enough to feature them and their channel in his time. You didn't need to do that mate, Good on ya.

[@EverywhereTogether]

Hi Mick, Thank you very much for your kind words, it means a lot to us, and we are very happy to have been able to show everyone all the great places around this awesome country. And also, we really appreciate that Ronny took the time to meet us and record this episode. We will remember that day for a very very long time :)

[@mickmiddle3331]

You are very welcome Peter and Sandra. I can't remember the episode when you mentioned you had just spent time with Ronny but it was very obvious you were both very excited about it. I miss your adventures and hope that one day you will get the Overlanding Bug again.

[@elijahtaugata]

Good to see the simple people can still make it without big mods and still get along with the basics. Good episode.

[@adamgriss2025]

A perfect example to illustrate the point that if you plan ahead, know what you want to do and where you want to go, you can keep things simple and not have to break the bank while building your vehicle.

[@Ronny_Dahl]

+Adam Griss that was my number goal with this video 👍

[@willian.direction6740]

Thanks Ronny what a nice couple who decided to come live with us. Welcome.

[@999mrkhaled]

Great to see simple conversion it show that u can do long trips with out braking the bank

[@Macrotechee1107]

Not a very "modified" vehicle but a great episode nonetheless. Great to see that touring vehicles don't need to be twinlocked and stacked with 4" lifts, LED lightbars and 35s ;)

[@davidmcknight1926]

Coming full circle, Peter and Sandra's channel is the one that put me on to Ronny's channel......good stuff all round.

[@annalawrence6084]

Love this couple. So good to share our beautiful country with people from all over the world. I love the colours and the homely feel of this troopy set up inside. Organised but also gets to be a space you want to sit in and feel good in. Inspiring

[@danielhill136]

No bell and whistle,only what u need ,great couple ,good on them ,seeing more places than the average joe with all the 🤪

[@shobhitmathur5686]

Wow another one of those great videos. I just love it when the owners are front coming and know their vehicle well and are eager to talk about it. And when it is a beautiful lady talking cars, I need to keep picking my Jaw from the floor. Lovely couple, lovely car-home.

[@gaj5701]

One of the best offroad hacks ever mentioned in this video, using Google maps for offroad tracks. Seriously, if your phone GPS is decent, check out all the tracks you can find that were once the sole domain of paid navigation apps & devices. I've ran mine alongside the Hema navigator app & it's far more accurate in some places. Give it a go, seriously & you'll be surprised 👍

[@12kerryman]

Great video, just proves how access all the outdoors and this life style is.

[@Christian76S]

there u have it. no blinky stuff. guts over gear. though the troopy is a decent piece of gear ..

[@TheSkskitey]

Very good they have got this far with the Troopy with no problems mentioned . I hope they know the golden rule of the outback , if they break down or get stuck stay with the vehicle at all times :-)

[@rollyb5061]

great Ronny, Peter and Sandra hope you had a safe trip touring around Aus

[@ezaanatif9441]

What a great couple. I hope and wish that Toyota sponsors them.

[@carlosnunez8229]

When I first saw the title of the video I thought it was Andrew's Troopy :( I can't wait to see it :D

[@alangyp]

Finally another troopy mod, thanks Ronny

[@paulboon1100]

I like the way they think, well done. There was a bloke in Germany who traveled the world on a Yamaha XT500 for years, in the seventies, his conclusion was, get a bed sheet put on it everything you think you are going to need, then..... halve it, then halve it again, and you'll find when you get back you had a lot of stuff you never used and or needed, the "KISS" (keep it simple stupid)system has always served me well having traveled extensively in Europe, Australia and North Africa. keep your weight and horse power to a minimum, to much tends to break things not to mention the largest expense when traveling, fuel use.

[@placesweexplore]

Nice video! We are a german couple doing the same with our Prado! Really good stuff! Cheers!

[@adelarsen9776]

Prado ? You mean Troopy ? Your videos have a Troopy.... :-)

[@placesweexplore]

Ade Larsen yes at this time it was a rental car. Now we have our own👍🏻and now it’s a Prado

[@adelarsen9776]

Nice Safe and happy travels :-)

[@placesweexplore]

Ade Larsen thanks mate! You too

[@qinzhenx]

Thanks

[@MUuulerOriginal]

Ofc you didn't put the links in the description^^ Loved that episode!

[@andrewb.5996]

They are a lovely couple and have a great channel IMHO.

Greetings from Romania! "Everywhere together!"

[@mikekay213]

Simple and practical.....I like

[@MuttsWithGuts]

Hey Legends, (Shawry from Derby!!). Great to see!

[@EverywhereTogether]

Shawry Legend! We spent about 2 weeks in Derby while we were in need of some phone reception for work. Then we headed off to the Kimberley :)

[@dirtyd1886]

Only thing with having a fire extinguisher close to the drivers side is what happens if it comes loose and goes underneath the brake or accelerator

[@Ronny_Dahl]

+Steve Adams it is very secure and bolted down. It won’t be coming loose unless you unhitch two latches

[@aukanmeister]

A great way of doing it! Perfect:)

[@jdesigns7239]

Great stuff! More long term vehicle builts please.

[@mofogeezer]

love my 78 rv to death. Would love to see a couple of troopys on one of your tag a long tours preferably 1hd-fte's (not biased at all!)

Szép verda, gyerekek! :-) Minden jót itthonról!

Build one equipped for winter weather

[@2B34ever]

Been looking at setting up a 4x4, minimal setup. A foot-well water-tank 200lt is a viable option for water

[@gaj5701]

Not sure I'd be thinking about adding 200kg weight to a vehicle unless I knew I absolutely needed that amount of water, certainly not in a minimal set up anyway. Unless there's 4 adults in the vehicle for 10 days in the middle of the desert, you probably won't be away from water sources long enough to ever go through that amount. Work on 7l per person per day for 2 people, 6l each per day for 3 & 5l per person per day for 4 people & you'll be fine for serious remote outback travel 👍

[@gaj5701]

True, but generally speaking you have no way of knowing, just like I don't in my 50l flexible bladder, however I've never gone through that & a 20l jerry on my remotest trip before getting to more drinking water so couldn't recommend adding potentially 200kg to any vehicle when 50 will do 😀

[@gaj5701]

You do like water!! You're absolutely correct in saying each to their own when it comes to things like that, & you've clearly identified a need to have that amount of water on board, but, with the greatest of respect, I'd say you're in a very small minority with a need for that amount. I still stand by my point that adding 200kg to your vehicle for any one thing is something that should be considered very carefully. Just because you can fit something in your vehicle, doesn't mean you necessarily should as it may well be far more liveable with some more space in there. Also uprating your suspension doesn't magically make the weight disappear, it's still there affecting fuel economy & causing wear on weight bearing components. I'd say most people's overland rigs are probably heavy enough to be close to GVM before even adding food, water & passengers so it's definitely something to be careful on.

[@diaboliketrackfreak3014]

they got stuck in the end!! wish you very nice trips !

[@magicnik8881]

Yea, finally its online! :D Sandra and Peter are such nice people. go and check 'em out! kzbin.info/door/fvEIW2lDqCSziURKujx_kQ

[@gibbethoskins8621]

Nice rig ...nice 4B too 😜

[@StohlTara]

Thats the LIFESTYLE!

[@chrisp8328]

Touring AUS on a budget? might be cheaper than some other more modified overlanders but a reasonably new V8 troopy and an ARB fridge.. thats a pretty decent budget.

[@chrisp8328]

Redarc solar panel too..

[@jamesmeredith1694]

Awesome,Good on you guys! Did you get bogged at the end of the video? Haha

[@BjornKoopmans]

Great video! I love almost all your video's, but this one is very relatable to me. I modified an old PZJ75 Troopy on the public parking space in front of my flat in Rotterdam (Netherlands) as cheap as possible, and used it to drive all the way from The Netherlands to Cape Town, South Africa, on my own. www.cruisecanary.com An awesome experience, which took me exactly one year. I learned so much about cars, off-roading and overlanding (didn't know ANYTHING about that stuff before the journey!), and especially how little you actually need. Ronny's videos were a BIG source of inspiration and knowledge for me, so keep up the great work, Ronny! Thanks!

[@Onemoreventure]

Go the troopy!!

[@thumpergman]

Toyota is now sold and there happily living in Brisbane

[@goofiegoofball]

Pretty practical set up, not a fan of snatching of the factory tie downs. Hope they're aware of it and the involved risk.

[@adelarsen9776]

A most wonderful Troopy. :-) Happy Days :-)

[@husky9562]

Please do a np300 d23 navara

[@j.9822]

Ronnie or anyone catch the brand, where to get those type sun shades? Look the best I've seen.

Is this them? www.solarscreen.com.au/4x4.html

[@Ronny_Dahl]

+J. I’m pretty sure mate looks like the exact same stuff

[@EverywhereTogether]

Yeah, it's www.solarscreen.com.au/ highly recommended, it keeps the warm out a bit, and is also good when it's a little bit colder outside.

[@waynesmith8647]

Hey ronny dahl have you done a modified jeep grand cherokee zj

[@Ronny_Dahl]

Not as yet mate. Very hard to find some that have a good amount of mods on them. The ones I’ve seen so far are mainly beat up toys

[@yotatech]

Very nice Ronny. Do you think you may do a cover on Andrew White's Troopy too someday?

[@Ronny_Dahl]

+Corey Tando we have spoken about it and it is on the cards

[@kenmarapese9085]

Minimal! Excellent vid.

[@maverick2242]

Bit of a late post, but a couple things I may have missed but quite important, more so as they are living and travelling in a vehicle, but this is something that is a major issue in our country (NZ) no toilet setup, did I miss that? And a shower? Both can be done cheap and both imo if travelling and living essential, both for impact on locations and especially towns you may take advantage of doing this at, many many areas are coming under high stress here and allot of anti vehicle camping, anti attitudes are getting louder-which affects the rest of us too. Not saying these guys aren’t good, they seem really nice as most are, but allot aren’t, I see it everywhere I go and even our own nationals are just as bad, last Xmas at one location not a camp but a great spot on a river, I filled up 5 bags full of rubbish others left behind which I dumped at the Ranger stn, showed them pictures of both fecal waste paper everywhere and what I had cleaned up rubbish wise, inclu many broken bottles and this family had kids amazingly. 2 reasons I did this, for some reason I took they’re number plates earlier that week even though we weren’t really close, 2 this is a Ranger patrolled region, but no rangers ever checked these areas and at leak times like Xmas summer that’s imo they’re job, for fire Hazard and this type of issue. I have seen vehicles from overseas visitors on living working visas, drive in late at night in other spots leave early in the morning and where they camped the night are plastic bags of rubbish for the rest of us to take out, if we don’t take that out, we get blamed and those spots are then at risk. This should be a topic Ron if you haven’t already done one, as it’s a growing problem, we want all people to experience the freedom of travelling etc, but for everyone’s future travels it must be responsible at this level at least, the cost to clean up is horrendous as well as impact to places and people. Sorry for that but I didn’t notice it mentioned and I think this is a very overlooked part of touring or living in a vehicle while travelling, Cheers.

[@jeffreyortiz-luis5120]

I wish we have those vehicles in the states.

[@leadingseamanphilbillingto100]

Tru Blu don't think they pass emissions laws.

[@chiekowatson9288]

Tru Blu Unfortunately for you yanks, your country has imposed a rule that only allows imports of foreign vehicles that are 25 yrs or older. In Canada the same law allows 15 year old imports. Its called protectionism, pure and simple. Dont worry, you can enjoy your F 150's and chevys lol

[@jamesdickson3616]

What do you to have a wash or shower

[@Ronny_Dahl]

+james dickson I’d say public shower blocks and beach showers would be the go to. When you do look around for one you’d be surprised how many there are around.

take the factory points .... they will let go and kill somebody

[@RBFR01]

I don't understand why people use wood in RV's caravans and 4wd's.It's not a terrible material but why not use light weight strong durable long lasting aluminium? It's thin and you can make alot more out of it and you can bend it?

[@gaj5701]

More expensive & harder to cut with basic tools if you don't want to spend some serious money & have unnecessary tools for your trip hanging around your vehicle or get rid of them to a local market.

[@EnglishNomadLife]

Great video, Gave me some ideas for my LC79 build and also how to promote my KZbin Channel in future... :)

Traveling on a budget and the first thing you buy is 135k worth of LandCruiser, is this a joke

[@jasonhowe1697]

cb/ham radio is a must as is sat comms as past most city limits mobiles are useless you have a nice setup though the lack of comms and given the average distance between towns and cities can be between 200-600+KM's you really risk your lives without the correct comms preps, I'm very surprised that the cops in certain areas haven't forbade you from their district without the correct comms equipment.. for: a. risk your life .b. risking the lives of the rescue team sent to find your sorry arse when you break down or get lost.. I'm sick and tired seeing people ill-equipped to travel within the australian outback with the amount of remote areas within the australian land mass can well be killed if you loose your vehicle.. this is nothing but a back packers conversion and a dangerous 1 at that i have met back packers doing bog laps around australia and from my experience they should never leave the metro area because they aren't equipped for traveling...

[@petikehc]

Jason howe hah, no worries mate, i agree with having adequate emergency equipment while travelling remote. we (troopy) had our Spot gps tracker, with worldwide emergency rescue cover insurance. it just wasn't advertised in the video. I hope you're alright :)

[@MuttsWithGuts]

Your comments are dangerous and misleading Jason. I live and work in the Kimberley and we travel in extremely remote places where a Sat phone is the only thing that works. You really need to think about the difference between what you think you know and what your experiences actually are.

[@jasonhowe1697]

Peter Arato did you purchase your sat gps here?? Roamin Emperor, note I did sat based comms as a part of the communications package as even with a mobile phone booster you are still limited.. I also recommended uhf/27 MHz CB due to the unwritten rule of trucks have the right of way.. the reason why I recommend hf radio because of the royal flying doctors service as hf radios typically within this specification can fetch between $1500-2500 where as a basic hf rig can between $750-1,500 and can support rfd .. Also note: you are also dangerous if you are just in reliance of sat phone as a primary source of communications.. the way I look sat comms like this I look at both at sat phone/tv/internet as part of my communications package because outside of most major/minor towns tv reception is non existent in most cases and you will be needing access to the weather channel to monitor weather.. I have no clue on what your radio in regards to cb and ham radio is I've been around cb and ham radios in 1 form or another since i was 5-6 years old and well know of their limitation though i still wouldn't be without them non the less.. From what I have seen with international backpackers with their mentality and some aussies as well who decide the bog trip around Australia tend to be ill equipped in terms of communications packages and seem to rely on mobile phones as primary sources of communications all be it a false sense of security at best.. To be honest Roamin Emperor if you are solely relying on a sat phone as a primary source of communication then you are nothing but a danger on the road, as no cb comms makes you a danger not only to yourself but other road users including heavy haul and road trains. on the side note if you want anything past 4-5 watts UHF/vhf you will likely want ham radio license outside of convoy use.. I hate to say this whilst you have some knowledge on radio it is rather limited at best, I have no clue what you base your radio experience on though for long range on 27MHz it's ssb or upper side band that is required.. you only ever use 4 watts in convoy.. though the biggest issue for both reception and transmission is having the receive and reception portion of your antenna high enough to give you 180 degrees of reception and making sure the only thing that is transmitting is the top part of the antenna and not the feeding cable.. and note I did mention sat as part of my comms prep though I didn't go into full detail of it in my last response, though it is a redundancy feature at best and wouldn't be without it regardless.. as for gps maps I would likely take a leaf out of ronny dahl's book and run 2 having 1 in base look and 1 with detailed mapping topographical.. with a map and compass as a reserve backup as technology can fail at the best of times.. If you can get hold of region maps most current is good as is older maps as what isn't listed on 1 will be listed on the other ..
