so much negativity jeez. definitly not the most raw or affordable build, but that's the point. Nowhere in the title does it say budget or affordable, so dont treat it as anything like that. It's a culmination of years of offroading and colaboration between many companies. Although having a beer keg and a projector is way over the top, who cares. its his choice and if you got offered this opportunity there's no way you'd say no lol. Instead of commenting negativly out of spite or envy or just disgust at how expensive/over the top it is, just be happy for him lol. it's a pretty sick rig and who cares if the Amarok isnt the most capable, or affordable. at least its not another bloody 79 build. I think pat would be just as keen to go camping in a 1986 MQ with an old swag, as he would be with this. Get off your high horse and just let people enjoy this country how they want to. it's not your concern and it never was. Pat's just taken the time to share his build, which sounds pretty good to me. Just my 2 cents :P

Thanks Will, you read my mind mate. Pretty funny you said I'd be just as happy in an 86 MQ with a swag. I've actually got a 1975 G60 Patrol and get just as much joy from that! Appreciate your comments. Cheers, Pat

Right? It’s a dream build. Not a budget wrecker conversion
@rwandersonut4 жыл бұрын
Great build, not because it was the perfect vehicle, but rather it was what you wanted. I read comments about no low range, not being a monster competition rock crawler, etc, however, those are other people's dream vehicle. This was about you and your desire. That is what makes it so great. My guess is that negative comments stem from a touch of envy. Congratulations and well done! Great video as well, not too much fluff and full of important details.

@@PatCallinans4X4Adventures I was working for Don Macdonald, of Macdonald Wool. His building is just on the edge of town, as you're leaving Dubbo, on the right, before the airport. He was over here shearing sheep in the 80s, and I had an extra bedroom. 35 years later, he calls me up, and wants to know if I'd like to come to Australia, and help him move. He has a place between Dubbo and Orange. Put me in a 24 ft flatbed truck, and I had never driven through a round a bout before! Other driver's got a little excited! I'm driving on the wrong side of the road, in a 24 ft truck. Lots of good memories.

@@nickwebb6810 You can have AWD or 4WD in the Amarok. When its the 4WD with low-range and rear-diff-locker, the "4" in "4Motion" is red. The auto-transmission Amaroks, like the one in the video, always have the AWD system, so I dont understand why he choosed this instead of manual with low-range & diff-lock. However, I think you can tow 3.5 tons easily with all Amaroks. Its just a safety restriction and also I guess they want you to buy the auto...

I had an amarok. Sold it. It was shit off-road. No low range so it’s always on the torque converter when climbing so it gets so hot the ecu just stops it mid track. Always makes them run away down hill and use the ‘hill descent’ which is just the brakes so they get so hot they stop working. They are not designed for serious 4wding. I sold it a bought GQ patrol

Here in Germany the Amaroks spent more time in workshop than on the road. So many issues.... not only trans or engine, but the smaller things that really bother. Window motors or better said the small plastic pieces on the mechanism that brake and leave you without a electric window, the electric seat adjusters etc. . It is built with a VW Golf Spirit. And that doesn´t combine with offload reliability. Sorry, but Toyota or Nissan is the way to go.

Massively underestimated the battery capacity needed for all that, and running the inverter almost at capacity will lower the life expectancy of it and the batteries by years. Lucky he's getting it all free. Not to mention the fact that no one would buy an Amarok and do that, lucky it was sponsored, did it come with free bush recovery ??
