Ya lifted that 100lb (45 kilo) motor like nothing!!! ✌🏽💪🏽

[@allanpower8041]

Simplistic yet genius in design!

[@WACampingAdventures]

So good how the trailer components fit inside the tinny brother. Colour me jealous hahaha. Awesome vid and what a ripper day weather wise hey

[@danielhill136]

Oh so jealous right now😂😂

[@stevesmith3556]

That's a pretty cool setup! With this and the keg, you're the one to invite camping for sure 😃🤠

[@brentmcd12]

nice boat the extra 14cm in length and width really makes it a good sturdy boat I reckon!!

[@WildTouring]

Yeah sturdy but bloody heavy!

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

Nice setup. Looks like it all works together well for the way you use it

[@WildTouring]

Cheers mate, absolutely loving it!

[@andrewtoon1954]

Awesome setup

[@louiskudlak2241]

Great gear buddy, yeah weighty though, some thinking & decisions for ya 👍👍👍

[@WildTouring]

Cheers Louis 🍻

[@alvinknipe9987]

Great vid Camm,I am just waiting for my 3.50m tinny to arrive and have been looking for a loader,will have a look at Thunderfab cheers

[@joediesel8267]

Great videos on these earlier boat and car setup. You have given me some great ideas and thoughts

[@WildTouring]

Cheers Joe!

[@mikemillott]

Great video Cam!! Halfway through the video I went over to Thunder Fab's website to check out their boat loader, I'm looking into one for my Landcruiser. Thanks for the video, I'll be in touch with Thunder Fab very soon 👍

[@WildTouring]

Thanks mate!

[@andylong5211]

Great set up. Suits metal canopy but too heavy for my glass canopy What is the esky strapped into the tinnie?

[@courtneymccagh3815]

Are there holes on the boat loader to hook tie down straps through or are you wrapping them around the frame?

[@jackpayne2359]

Awesome mate I have one of these out of a kings fridge with 2 taps and 2 5 Lt kegs I was just wondering if you have done a video on making a home brew or have you thought about it cheers

[@liamhoyne4534]

Hey mate, being a new ute, don’t you worry about the salt water rusting out components of the car? Or is it something you just accept for using on the beach? Have you considered getting electronic rust protection?

[@lucaranieri6163]

Hey mate what's the brand of winch your using on the boat rack?

[@user-qg6fn3wl3v]

GOOD Idea good lifestyle Fc Thailand

[@TinyBoatNation]

That’s fope

[@AdventuringPals]

Good video bud. Very interested in what your weights end up being. You may need to put another axel under the dmax lol.

[@WildTouring]

All will be revealed next week! 😉

[@cathbp4089]

Really interesting, do you think the motor loader would work on the front of the caravan? maybe replacing tool box?

[@WildTouring]

Yeah certainly could!

[@bobsyouruncle4480]

Great video mate. Just wondering how heavy the Dmax is running? Between the canopy, fridge, outboard, roof racks, tinny, and everything else you're carrying (including the wife!), are you able to stay under the GVM ok? Or did you do a GVM upgrade? I'm looking at a similar set up. Cheers mate - keep them coming.

[@WildTouring]

All will be revealed in the weigh in video next week 😉

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

@@WildTouring I get the feeling asking someone what their rig weights in Australia is like asking a woman her age.

[@grandviewonfraser8745]

Appreciate the video was a while ago, do you store the outboard fuel tank in canopy? And if so any fume issues? Thanks Dean

[@WildTouring]

I try to avoid storing it in the canopy, fume’s definitely work their way into everything. Can taste it in food stored in the drawer that’s on the other side of the canopy after a couple of days 😂 I’ve got a 20l jerry can holder bolted to the back wall of the canopy, and I can strap the 11l fuel tank to the roof under the boat. So I’m able to carry around 30l, which is heaps.

[@superwolfshead]

Love it .we're about location

[@WildTouring]

South of Perth 🙂

[@courtneymccagh3815]

Gday mate. In the early stages of planing a 79 series build…… tray/canopy/boat loader/motor slide and under tray water tank. Itd be nice to get it all done by 1 company. I’m guessing you’ve previously looked around at many companies so I value your advice. In regards to quality, strength and price how do Thunderfab stack up against the Norwelds, MIT, bullant etc? I’m not even looking at anything cheap/Chinese etc Cheers mate and love the vids 🤘🤙🤜 Courts

[@WildTouring]

Sounds like a wicked build. Mate when I was looking at my options ThunderFab were lighter, cheaper and more customisable than others. I’d go back to them before anyone else if I was doing it again.

[@courtneymccagh3815]

Will it last? Is it as tough as the others?

[@WildTouring]

@@courtneymccagh3815 watch the build vids. Theyre engineered, stress tested and tig welded by real fabbies.

[@johnharrower3632]

Where did you get the winch

[@travisledger6238]

Hi Cam, what winch are you running on the rack? Cheers.

[@WildTouring]

Funny you ask actually! I bought an atv winch off eBay- which has filled full of water and failed. The ThunderFab lads suggested an UltraWinch, which has a 7yr warranty against water ingress, so I’ve ordered one to give it a go.

[@travisledger6238]

Hi Cam, you saved me doing the same. I was about to order a eBay cheapie and just ordered a ultra winch instead. Fingers crossed they hold up to the elements. Thanks for the feedback.

[@dagsbouch]

I was just wondering how much does the boat motor weigh cause I'm just a little fella and your not ( short ) ?

[@WildTouring]

The motor weighs 45kg, I'm 6'2" and honestly its pretty awkward to lift and I wouldn't want it to be any heavier! Smaller hp or 2 stroke motors are substantially lighter if that's an option for you.

[@dagsbouch]

@@WildTouring Thank you 👍

[@iansutcliffe3208]

So the little comment about the outboard loader bolting onto the front of your caravan when you get means you have ordered one yeah?

[@WildTouring]

Nah we haven't ordered anything at all. Just exploring options. We'll post a vid as soon as we decide on something and explain why we went that way.

[@newport5504]

Man you need to buy a different tinnie that is heavy as hell, i would be looking at a makocraft around 80-90kgs

[@WildTouring]

Yeah it’s a bloody heavy boat and much heavier than I was led to believe as well. I’ll go in to that further in the weights video I’ve got coming out next week.

[@jimmycook872]

[@junseegi]

First

[@bobklincke4671]
