What it's REALLY like living in a 1975 Volvo 6x6 Truck - What we LOVE & HATE about it

[@TheOutFit]

Thank you so much for your support this year with the build. We couldn't have done it without you! 2025 will be the year of travels, where should we go? 🗺 Happy New Year from the 3 of us ❤️ P.S. We hope you stayed for the drone scene at the end 🤯

[@ilyjad]

The skill, time and engineering is impressive. Chris is like a Swiss army knife! 😆👌🏼

[@TheOutFit]

More like a blunt butter knife.. but I'll take it! 😂 Thanks a lot for the Super Thanks!

[@ilyjad]

@TheOutFit Haha fair enough, but he gets the job done. Thank you for sharing your adventure! So Inspiring to watch. Please get Oakley something fun for the cash 😁👌🏼

[@MissDelia]

The van looks amazing inside and out , it’s definitely a winner. Glad to see you changed that box in between the front seats with one that does not destroy your elbow!

[@HiddenHerosinHistory]

I truly enjoyed the adventure you just brought me through. What an inspirational video for the outdoor excursions we all want to experience.

[@PeterHatch-mx7zc]

One of the best off road builds on utube believe me a real credit to both of two best🦘👍😁🐝

[@lud5495]

Love it.... sunday night. On my television. Watching your adventures. Thanks guys. Love the walk arround the Volvo❤❤❤

[@TheOutFit]

Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment!

[@lud5495]

[@akepettersson4847]

I’m 6 days late to comment , but I knew this v-log would be good , so I pressed the like button after like 5 seconds 🤭 Happy New Year from Thailand 🇹🇭

[@abdilion5]

I have always wanted to know about volvo 6×6 and it has been fascinating to watched all your videos for the past week. I really appreciate your efforts.

[@paschaff-dahom]

Guten Morgen, ein neues Jahr und alles Glück dieser Welt, für Euch !

[@whiteeulogianraven7995]

What a fascinating process and journey you 3 are having, a complete inspiration and a whole meaning for living your life by your own standards. ¡¡Pura Vida and Happy New Year!!

[@panc4kes347]

Merry Christmas Me and my family have just finished a 4 month trip in our Coaster and we are moving to Queenstown tomorrow to start our next adventure and next build. Taking time off to build our bus and travel as a family has been was the best decision we ever made and I love seeing you guys do the same with your little man.

[@tiger75ify]

Nice video, spectacular views from Spain and impressive work you have done with the Volvo! Happy holidays!

[@esr243]

What I like about you is how sincere and straightforward you are. Happy New Year !

[@syncrosimon]

You have done a fantastic job, being able to camp in remote areas really opens up the travel experience. I hope you end up in Morocco as you will absolutely love it. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@wanderlandxperience]

You have me rethinking the rig we want for full time travel. Really enjoying this build!

[@danielscott4514]

For *full* time travel, clearly you'll need a TARDIS - no amount of driven wheels will get you to where you need to go ;)

[@Far2hip]

14:20 , Very cute seeing dad playing with the little guy (recycling rocks, lol😂) outside in the bottom left screen while you’re doing the inside kitchen tour. These 304’s are such cool vehicles. If everything is set up correctly, they can go nearly anywhere. So, they make a terrific remote location camper. Nice job on the build!! 👍🏻😎👍🏻

[@prasannakurukuladithya7630]

This is getting cinematic day by day 🔥🔥🔥

[@stevemartin7096]

Congratulations to all of you on the inventive and thoughtful rebuild of your truck! All the best to you as you continue to seek adventures and share them with the rest of us. Family is, whatever the configuration, the greatest adventure of all; adding children is an additional layer of craziness and richness. Happy 2025 to you! 🌞

[@rrrrrhino]

WOW!!! Your rig is the best, coolest out there!!! Thanks for sharing your adventures!! Wishing you all the best for the new year!!!

[@OurWayToRoam]

Looks fantastic guys! Building an efficient camper is no easy task. It turned out great! 🩷

[@Crispy-McFister]

Ange did a great job filming the opening!

[@TheOutFit]

Aww thank you for the nice compliment, it's always nice to hear!

[@jaystewart2577]

One of my favorite you tubers,best wishes to you guys

[@PietroH53]

Merry Christmas to you. This vehicle is an amazing accomplishment that the both of you have constructed. Craftsmen indeed, well done and stay safe. Also, such incredible scenery that you have photographed in your videos. Thank you.

[@Peter760]

Another great episode, I’m actually speechless as you continue to provide fantastic info of your experience. Happy New Year to the three of you and I look forward to more of the Bowser adventures 👌

[@greatsouthernoverland]

Excellent walk around of a very unique and personal build. Well done and be safe!!

[@jettfancy]

Really nice vehicle walk around (& drone scene). Happy trails & Merry Good Year!

[@TheOutFit]

Thank you so much Mattias for watching and subscribing to the channel, it means a lot!

[@gustavov.5225]

Such a great build! I remember the sweat and tears during the process, now several months later, it certainly paid off. Happy New Year!!

[@TheOutFit]

Thank you so much for following along Gustavo!

[@jackrolfson312]

Lots of hard work paid off for you. Looking forward to a New Year. Hope you have a nice one!

[@TheOutFit]

Thanks a lot for watching Jack!

[@PhilandBodegueros]

Nice video as always you guys, thanks for taking the time to explain things so well, your whole set up is awesome, thanks for sharing. Been where you are, Spain has some amazing terrain and its nice to see someone enjoying it in true Overlanding spirit. Enjoy yourselves and all the very best to you for 2025.

[@robertrayl2357]

Really nice job you three. All you need now is a dog to watch after the little one. Smile

[@guvnermcgovern]

Great video, you can see why so many western gunfighter movies are made in Spain with that incredible scenery.

[@urwatur2882]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Coolbellup guys

[@shcaskey]

That rig is a beast!!

[@Wrong-Way-Round]

Merry Christmas (Belated ) to you Angie, Chris and Oakley, and what a lovely place to have it. I wish all the best for you in '25 too. Glad you got into better weather for winter, 0° and freezing fog last night here in 'D' 😕

[@seanchristie7150]

Fantastic run through episode, thanks for taking us on the journey

Compact 6x6 off road van👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@lloydhenriksson]

Merry Christmas guys. Travel safe and I look forward to your vlogs in 2025 🙏

[@relationshipreal]

If you’re going through Spain, perhaps do some exploring the south of Spain and perhaps cross over to Morocco by ferry and take the 6x6 into the dessert for some crazy off-road fun

[@josephstevens3357]

Happy New Year to you guys too! Looking forward to following your adventures in the new year. Take care!

[@petter5721]

This Volvo truck is awesome 👍🏻

Thank you for your vids. I want one now. That thing is crazy

[@orangecessna150]

Merry Christmas and happy New Year from the PNW! You guys did such a great job with everything!! I think my favorite part of the truck is the water system! Actually-I like everything-hahaha! Thanks for sharing very impressive.

[@alanedwards6491]

[@andredegoede5218]

Thank you for sharing the build, the travels and your family with us armchair travelers! May you go into 2025 with all 3 diff locks locked!!!!! Wishing you safe travels and awesome memories!!! Be safe!

[@mogxplorer8788]

Thanks a lot for the tour around your vehicle. A diesel engine swap would be great for the vehicle. I would be interested in your tools and processes around the video editing - just to understand the work involved doing such great cineastic content. All the best for 2025!

[@damiencartwright5004]

Have been watching you with the MOG and now the Volvo (both toys I would love to own) and it has been a serious adventure. Now with a 3rd wheel it must be even more challenging. Can't wait to see your next adventure. Happy New Year

[@mitchhoten3922]

Thanks for the tour! Happy Holidays!

[@grahames9228]

Hope you fulfil all your new year travel plans.

[@Bratfalken]

Chris, make a small pericope with lighting if neccesary to see the panels in the powersystem. Just with two mirrors in a board or on a stick! :)

[@adriancollins4747]

What an ALSOM RIG! The only change I would make is adding an overlandind trailer. Then you could have more water, fuel, outdoor kitchen, storage and room for a canoe, bikes, etcetera. 🎉HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉 From the USA❤

[@neilarmitage6632]

That must be awesome.

[@begoodjohnny62]

EPIC video guys, thank you!

[@TheOutFit]

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment John!

[@nigelcooper6254]

Happy new year to all of you.

[@RELOADIAK]

What an awesome ride! I drive a Volvo too, but it's not even a 4x4 :(

[@jamesbramlett5407]

Suggestion: In the Kitchen, your drawer handle closures... If you took those small wood blocks off, drilled a shallow hole...you could glue in a strong but tiny magnet, then on the drawer face, you could adhere/embed a small piece of steel/iron. I could see those retainer clips starting to lose their friction over time, so having a hidden magnet closure would be perfect! (it'd be a fun little indoor project too...just need a small forstner bit to gouge a shallow recess for the neodymium magnet coins)

[@larsjonasson7833]

Happy new year :) and bee safe on the roads

[@psvbasel4967]

Happy new year!

[@Cancerian1982-kz1vh]

Really nice machine

[@Hungry_Hunter]

epic rig

[@zoomanx9661]

Now that’s cool 😎

[@waldirleite100]

I loved the video.

[@TheOutFit]

Glad to hear, thank you so much for watching!

[@WealthyChronicle]

I love the blend of nostalgia and practicality in your build. But honestly, would you recommend this lifestyle with a toddler, or is it too much work?

[@TheOutFit]

We have never lived in a house with Oakley so for us/him this nomadic lifestyle is the norm. It may be harder to transition/downsize from a house to a vehicle but at the end of the day, parenting, no matter where you do it from, will have its challenges. You may as well do it with the nice views if you can 😊😅 Also I (Ange) personally think overlanding with a toddler is easier than travelling by plane and going to hotels for example because you can stop whenever you want, you can still create a routine on the road, carry toys etc. Also only having one child is probably more manageable. Hope that helps :)

[@Larry-lo7nf]

Very cool Van/truck

[@Bla-wx8sm]

Very wonderful so nice ❤❤❤❤god bless your adventures 🙏🙏🙏

[@micke3035]

I drove it's "little brother" the C303 (tgb11) in the army, VERY noisy driving on road but when you go off road it's a BEAST, nearly unstoppable or that's what it feels like... Most important thing when driving off road, mind you thumbs, that steering wheel can whip hard on you. Good luck on your adventures, nice to see an old swedish workhorse still going strong and in a more peaceful purpose than it was originally built for! 👍🏻

[@LAP1050]

Great job showing off your super camper, the attention to detail shows throughout, well done 👍 The camera work and scenery are epic and those tapas looked amazing. Nothing beats Spanish chorizo, yum.😋 Wishing you a Healthy Happy New Year. Looking forward to whatever and wherever you take us next year…😊 All the Best Lou from Miami 🇺🇸

[@TheOutFit]

Thank you Lou for all your lovely comments this year and for following along our adventures! Have a great end of 2024 :)

[@alainlem4506]

Amazing video! Et un petit bonjour en français pour Madame!

[@deanecarson2837]

In the final stages of a Landrover Forward Control build. 1965 S11A. I have been looking forward to peering through the tiny window, but you have me questioning that thought. I think I have more knee room. But your shifter looks more fun. The FC is basically stock. And I am always interested in your upgrades. My plan is a canvas roof with a double bed and small kitchenette. Long term. Short term goal is to go up hills, shoot deer. Camp. You guys are a great source of motivation and ideas.

[@tylerdurden5122]

Definitely got to get one of those before the zombie apocalypse!!

[@TimeTravelExplorer]

Whoa!!! SO COOL!! 😊💖

[@statusoftheart]

Happy Xmas Season to you 3. I have been following your channel for a while and I would like to thank you for your shares... It's been quite an interesting journey. I am based in Porto, Portugal... Feel free to keep in touch in case you'll be around... All the best for 2025!

[@explore_x_]

Great walk around. Hope you bring that beast to Arizona one day! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@TheOutFit]

Thank you so much Chris, we look forward to exploring Arizona one day! Have a great end of 2024 :)

[@pirixsm2]

Fantastic build!!! Out of curiosity what is the max speed of the truck? Hope to see your nice family around in Portugal!;)

[@dannesvanstrom3408]

Lovely Volvo!

[@Bingo-Finance]

Merry Christmas to your family, Well done.......

[@SebSeb-s3s]

Saw you drive by in front of me in the Bardenas at Christmas great cars !!!

[@timrandenso2794]

That's a beast of a truck and well thought out interior. Can't wait to see how it goes with the new motor. Im having troubles with my blinkers, thier all out of sink. I think it may be my blinker fluid that i use. What brand of blinker fluid do you use ?😂. Loving the adventure guy's. Merry Christmas. See ya in a couple of weeks
