WEAPON 79 SERIES what you ACTUALLY NEED for life on the road OFF GRID

Күн бұрын

This 79 Series Landcruiser is CLOSE TO PERFECT. Well my perfect anyway. It would be nice to have Coil rear, legal 37's and Portals BUT... This needs to be practical for my life filming on the road. It needs to be reliable in the remote locations of Far Northern Australia where I take it and I dont want a 4.4T truck. AND this is what I can afford...
I hope this helps some of you who are planning to fit out a 79 series (if you can get your hands on one).

Would really love to see the second review channel of all things outdoors, as a bowhunter I love it when you get a really good review of a product that that person is not sponsored or paid to do. Keep up the great work!

What a great setup and very well thought out Nath. We are looking forward to the new channel, bring it on! Well as you well know here at "Wild Screeches" we do our best but this has blown us out of the water 😯. Just to give you some of our recent upgrades: Roll cage fitted to the ride-on, complete with inflatable igloo tent and pump mattress. New second hand remould tyres (new to us). Top loading eski and yes it fills with water and crap in the bottom. Underneath we have a recycled Snap On tool box with all our great items (another series on that). In the bottom drawer we have a state of the art wooden shopping board with magnet to hold our knife (designed by me). My air bags are modelled on my two next door neighbours!! On the front we have a large fishing reel as a winch as we don't have enough electric power for a motor. However the cycle dynamo working on the exercise bike on the trailer does generate some power but Cheryl complains she is knackered all the time, dear oh dear... 😏. Anyway take care, see you next week complete with our pluggers!!

Really interesting to see what you've done over the last while to get this vehicle to the standard it's now at. I don't think you need to separate out a channel unless you feel it has benefits for you (but I can understand why you would!). The recommendations you make are important because it's gear you've smashed relentlessly. Good advice about weights & legality. Well played 🙏✌️👍

Great vid and great to see a build that's not a mega dollar sponsor special that has all the same gear as the last one. A review channel sounds good but I assume would be time consuming. In that you need to spend a fair amount of time with the products to gauge an opinion. I'll keep an eye out though.
