[@davidmilledge221]

Love this , this is what us normal people on a budget have to go through to make a nice reliable 4x4 to travel in , may take alot of time but most of us dont have the bucks to buy a new vehicle then spend more bucks on it , this show is what we been craving for and yes its a toyota , their the rollsroice of 4x4s if u dont know 😅king off the jungle over there and king off the desert here

[@jameslovestokyo]

I want to put a stake in the ground. When it’s time to sell this car to fund the next Africa build, Andrew, I want to buy it. I might change bits of your build, but even without seeing the rest of the build I appreciate that the basic mechanical condition of this Troopy is fantastic.

[@soundmindtv2911]

Fantastic work! This episode, together with the previous, are a very helpful example of how one should go over a vehicle when purchasing. Thanks for making these series!

What a great vehicle, explanations are clear and so much experience to back up what they may need or not need to do, another fantastic overview from Paul.

[@frankguernier2280]

Si if we take the vehicle purchase cost and then add all of the suggested work by Paul. Add the retail cost. (Not mates rates) . Does that financially blow out against initially buying low km newer unit.? Don't forget that all of the money spent on it does not increase its value greatly. And don't forget Andrew is a vehicle flipper not a keeper. Cheers.

[@adrianbosman6351]

Must say for half a mil very great condition, good base to work from x prepare for your trip through Africa.

[@jakebus5039]

It's so clean and well looked after... what a rare find!

[@mozartheart2958]

I think a video showing how the -- very clean -- vehicle has been located, tested, and verified to be in a good status, is worth watching

First to comment! ❤ Been really looking forward to this series. Watched the 100 series videos several times now!

[@DieselAddiction]

Can you do a itemised cost analysis for all the repairs?

[@lukem4728]

Definitely a textbook example of what one hopes to find when buying second-hand with high mileage.

[@craigtomkinson2837]

Lovely stuff

[@harveysmith100]

Does the tin dashboard have a pollen filter ?

[@vmoney9106]

I’m crying at the lack of rust

[@defendermodsandtravels]

I agree to a point but one meets the law of diminishing returns with some of the upgrades (not the actual repairs) and I'd prefer to put the money saved towards the cost of the next trip.

[@4xoverland]

But any worthwhile trip requires a reliable vehicle. I'm not taking a risky vehicle on a demanding trip. That's not a good way to spend. I'm not driving through the US where a reliability issue can easily be sorted. Its Africa. Serious breakdowns are not an option.

[@defendermodsandtravels]

@@4xoverland Totally agreed and I wouldn't for a moment suggest compromising reliability.. I know the pain of breakdowns on a big trip. All I am suggesting is that if one restores the vehicle to original spec I would rather spend additional money on the trip rather than on upgrades. It is a valid approach.

[@4xoverland]

I see that. Behind the scenes, that is happening here. For example I rejected the list of spares proposed for body rebuild job and had to explain that I'm not building a concourse showpiece. If the component contributes to reliability, then I'll spend the money. If not, then I'll spend carefully. Some nice to haves, mostly need to have.

[@hemaldaha]

IHDT is not easy to find any where in world. Wonder can you buy that brand new

[@4xoverland]

I want a 1HDT for this Troopy. And I've started looking for one. Damn hard to find!

[@MissionNomadic]

Is this truck 045 white ?

[@JeepCherokeeful]

You certainly don’t need to change brake and clutch fluids every year!

[@michaelharris1455]

Actually, it should be done every 2 years.

[@christopheringanji2493]

Depends on the usage of the vehicle. Heavy use wil b good if you do change.

[@JeepCherokeeful]

@@michaelharris1455 that’s what I see from Gibraltar Stockholdings, LTD...so I’d believe that to be accurate;)

[@4xoverland]

Depends on the type of terrains and driver. Every year is an extreme use scenario.

[@JeepCherokeeful]

@@4xoverland the usage this particular 70 had in it’s prior ownership certainly wasn’t . As the inspection proved. But sure, if one was traveling in the bush/overlanding in Africa full time for the entire year it wouldn’t be a waste of money. Installing new shocks every couple of years would be a good idea too.
