Seat Covers, a Drawersystem and a Redarc 12V System on my 100VX Landcruiser! SUV Overlander

With the Landcruiser running great, and confidently taking on the open road; I felt it was time to start making the 100vx's interior space a bit nicer, and adding some functionality to the vehicle so I could more easily hop in and take it on some fun overlanding trips! I attempt not to go overboard on the project but I think coming to terms with the fact I am a geek that loves all the gadgets! But I do also love getting to test and try new equipment so the cruiser has become a slight guinea pig for some new products! The journey starts off at Takla Products, to install some brand new River Rock seat Covers, Transmission Tunnel Cover, Dash cover and Takmats. We Then head to ‪@BushtechCanopiesAccessories‬ to build a lightweight storage system in the rear, where we look at their fridge slider initially designed for the Jimny. Building a lightweight sleeping setup in the back of the cruiser became the new agenda before heading to Tankwa Expo to display the vehicles for Terrain Tamer and Bushtech, with crazy weather almost blowing us away we wrap up a windy expo and get back to working on the interior of the vehicle! I reached out to Carplaysolutions about testing an android headunit of theirs, so after getting my. hands on it, it was time to install it and start to test it out a bit! With the interior coming a long great, the feel of the vehicle was really starting to get me excited! I decided on a return trip to Joburg to commit fully to the vehicle and we began from scratch again in the rear of the vehicle, putting Bushtech Canopies, latest SUV Drawersystem and installing some of the latest 12V gadgets from ‪@REDARCElectronics‬ including a SUV Wiring Kit with a 40A BCDC Core Charge, TVMS Rogue, Smart Battery Monitor and a Redvision Display, to really maximise the stepped approach to being able to upgrade your 12V system over time with Redarc most of these Redarc Products are Available locally in South Africa through 4x4 Megaworld. Over all I am so impressed with the setup and cant wait to get out and use it!

Good job👍🏻 Best regards from Sweden🇸🇪

Epic stuff Adrian. Love the content and it's nice seeing how the build is coming along!

[@iamgeoffandthisismystory]

Super exciting times Adrian. Looking forward to the evolution of both rigs. Safe travels man🤙🏻

[@RoamOverlanding]

Thanks Goeff! It’s been a lot work! But also really fun! 🤣

[@paulsmit8147]

Some awesome new additions to the van....., looking good Thanks for the share 👀🤙👍

[@bushtank22]

Amazing interior! What did that cost you approximately? If I may ask 😁 from Takla

[@RoamOverlanding]

The River Rock range is a bit more premium than even the signature range, so I think it was around R20,000 in total for all the stuff we did, including which you dont really see here a bootliner for under the drawersystem. They are also fully specced seat covers will all the possible pouches, water bottle holders and map pockets. So its alot!

[@traversethewild]

Awesome content Adrian. The water container and water pump you used in the back, what brand is it?

[@RoamOverlanding]

Thanks buddy! It’s a Dometic 👌🏻

[@kgalaadventures1725]

Hi. Where did you buy the slimline battery?

[@RoamOverlanding]

Its an Enertec battery

[@CaseyDelport]

Great video as always, Adrian. I'm interested, though I also have a 100 series with the bonnet mirror, and I thought that a bullbar would destroy that extra bit of visibility you get from the nose of the vehicle. Do you still have full frontal visibility, or does the bar significantly reduce visibility?

[@RoamOverlanding]

It does effect it; but honestly I don’t know what it’s like without the bumper 🤣 I just like being able to see if I’m in the parking properly or not or near a pavement 😂😂 I can imagine how good it would be to see how far the bumper is from a wall too, but yes the bull bar blocks it

[@murrayblair2159]

I was wondering what made you go for the Landcruiser 100 and not the same 105 series that you test drove? 105 has the solid front axle like my trusty 80 series?

[@RoamOverlanding]

All down to the engine for me to be honest 👌🏻 1HDFTE drives like a dream!

[@murrayblair2159]

@@RoamOverlandingthat is the best engine for the 80 and 100 series

[@tobiasjfmostert]

Hi Adrian, please could you send some info on the battery you used?

[@RoamOverlanding]

Hey Tobias! I got it from Enertech, it’s called the Blade battery

[@tobiasjfmostert]

@@RoamOverlanding thank you very much!

[@trevormacaskill8585]

What happened to the Engel fridge? They are the best...

[@RoamOverlanding]

It’s still around! Will probably go back to the Hilux! I needed something with dual compartments 👌🏻

[@lafras1973]

How about a Raptor coated Cruiser seeing you need to do sone touch up

[@RoamOverlanding]

I’m not personally a big fan of the raptor costed vehicles

[@ExperienceWildAfrica]

Nice to see the old girl coming along as an Overlander 😊 Takla products are super nice! What is the cost of the Redarc system like that?

[@RoamOverlanding]

Starting from about 5k for the charger up to 12k for the rogue I believe best to check 4x4megaworlds pricing

[@roland6529]

What brand battery is that?

[@RoamOverlanding]

It’s an Enertech 👌🏻

[@roland6529]

@@RoamOverlanding Thank you.

[@kelliescheiby9874]

​@RoamOverlanding please share Enertec model and spec. Looking for a slimline unit ourselves 👍🏼

[@fatmanoverlanding]

So when is the next trip with "Old Soldier", and your uncle?

[@RoamOverlanding]

Very good question!
