Why are you banging everything.

A guy who hates roof top tents,has two roof top tents, does anyone else see the confusion.

I'm glad you love the led headlights Steve! I... Absolutely hate them lol But that's ok. My 80 Series is running new square lights with high power halogen globes and an upgraded wiring loom to have full voltage to the globes (no voltage drop). I like this better. But good job on the car, having an 80 Series is a privilege imho. Haha

Ohh man. I'm at the 4 minute mark and this is me. Here we go... Don't let me down. :)

Yeah I think you're pretty well on point. My old man gave me some advice before he passed away, he said "Mind your own business and your friends will increase".

Why did you not choose the automatic transfer switching option?

Another thing I don't like about upright camping fridges is when you open the door you lose all the cold air requiring more energy to cool the fridge again and that dosnt happen with a chest fridge. Great build man well done on the welding you have inspired me to attempt the same with my trailer which is almost identical to yours apart from being 2 axle but that's cool it won't bounce around

Great work! I really enjoy all of your episodes. I’ve been learning to weld after your camper build, and I’m now doing up a camper trailer, repainting some of it, installing a water pump and associated wiring and plumbing, along with some usb chargers and a fuse block. All inspired by videos on your channel and a couple of others. Thanks for sharing and keep it up. I like a suggestion mentioned in the comments of showing some of your work on ‘fast forward’ to keep momentum. I wanted to add, if you can get companies to give you stuff for the build, why not?!

If it was wood right

Be much more awesome if you rolled open a drawer and had every tool option available to you for that size knife (91mm).

I have gave doing my own drawer system a crack cause of ur channel with one of your older rigs setups that u filmed

Onya mate for having a go yourself but in case no one told u it is a sacred thing that when u do a exhaust you must start it with only the headers and give it a rev just to be loud and a little bit obnoxious but just so u know for next time it must be done. Otherwise the car and 4wd gods will not be pleased 😊 enjoy it mate but careful once the bug bites u be stuffed

Well done for actually giving it a go , most wouldn’t. That gasket should go between the headers and the second section .

My Jimny is an SUV, and it's smaller than most "ordinary cars" and has a 1 litre engine, am I gonna get my tires deflated too? What a bunch of boring jobless trust fund morons.

Keep it up Steve. Love watching these vids. By the end you will be a qualified mechanic, auto electrician, metal fabricator & probably a better chippy 🤣

Learning heaps mate, thanks for documenting your journey. I really enjoy working with my hands, and solving these sorts of mechanical and electrical issues!

i still do my own services on my cars and most of the work as well

Hopefully the 4wd shed can find the issue, seen on Facebook all the stuff you have done so far, I wonder if the fuel pressure regulator has failed due to how bad the fuel in the tank was, maybe it’s jammed up and cannot reduce the amount to the injectors.

So many people don't know how to do the simplest job on a vehicle. Your videos bring back the basic skills of car maintenance. Keep going with these videos Steve and keep doing what you need to do to get the job done. Sometimes you don't know if people are willing to help, donate parts unless you ask. Will keep watching mate.

Great video mate ! Working on your own 4WD is the best night time therapy. I do 99% of my own work on mine as I don’t believe shops have the same OCD I do. 😅

Great video mate, lovin watching the build. Just a question when changing the tank did you do a fuel line flush and replace with new fuel filters?

Hey Steve, would love to hear about the exaust sound in terms of the drone. I've been eyeing off DEA exhausts due to their value but have always been put off by the terrible reviews and lack of info on liveability in terms of the drone. Cheers

Building my own drawers and storage cabinet

You must be heading up north soon.. might see you there and share a beer

Hey Steve, You gave me the insperation to build my own version of a draw system for my dual cab ute single draw on teflon with a fridge slide and slide draw same as what you had done

Good onya mate for having a crack 🤙🍺

I do as much as I can on my Gq. Alot better to spend money on tools to do the job yourself and learn than always giving to a tradesman. But then if its something I can't get my head around I'll gladly pay an expert. Great vid as always.

Love it......I need a wee....😂😂

Great episode Steve, love your enthusiasm and willingness to have a crack and leave your comfort zone 👍

Firstly good on you for having a crack, its how you get experience by doing it definitely keep going 👍 just a suggestion....given the condition of the fuel in the original tank id be new fuel filter (even if youve replaced but run it with the old fuel) , getting the injectors cleaned properly and a valve clearance check wouldnt hurt.

Love the content, one thing ive tried since watching your videos is trying wild turkey rare and i must say bloody good drink 😂

Cut the old mount off the old exhaust and take it somewhere to be welded on to the new exhaust. Also mate, do yourself a favour, get some big sheets of cardboard to lay on instead of the cold concrete. Seeya Rob.................and yes I know you have a creeper haha.

We've definitely lost many of the basic skills of car ownership maintenance. I feel this is partly due to the ever-increasing reliability of cars, and also the types of day jobs most of us now have. Car manuals in the 1960s told you how to adjust valve clearances, now they tell you not to drink the battery fluid. 😁

As for requesting tips for improving your episodes. Include B-roll footage when describing parts/items on the build. So instead of a shot of you talking about it, why not show b-roll footage with your audio instead? Visually it will be more appealing. Plus, have you dabbled in "accelerated montage"? A process of increasing the speed, in order to transmit the idea of excitement and rhythm. Particularly effective for parts that are repetitive? Like unscrewing and screwing nuts & bolts. That way, it still shows the work but keeps the momentum going. Loving the channel.

Watching these 80 vids really makes me want to own another one 😉 good to see ya having a crack and showing people if you have a little bit of grey matter between the ears you can actually save yaself some $$$$$

I agree with you Steve. I too prefer the quad rectangular headlights on the 80 Series, though not sure if I would have gone and replaced them if I already had the Sahara lights - especially if on a tight budget. Appreciate the honesty and rawness of your build. I noticed you still haven't resolved your idling issues. Have you check for air leaks in the intake hose past the MAF sensor? This is what caused my idling issue when I experienced it recently.

Personally I would spring for factory manifold gaskets

An all in one unit would be great but the cost is astronomical. I think I'll stick to DIY. Current example being 314AH Eve automotive grade cells, 2000w inverter, 250ah Muller Energy BMS, Victron 20amp mppt, Victron 30A 240v charger + sundries comes to approx $1900 and results in more than twice the capacity and cycle life. I do appreciate the review Steve but in my opinon these types of units are only good for those who have the cash to blow or not competent with the DIY approach which isn't my case. Cheers. ps: You still get a thumbs up

I’d love to know how much it weighs and what the registration and engineering process was

Great videos , Just wondering what I’m missing , you say it’s about/appox 125ah but on the bluetti website it says 30ah ,

This ain't texas

Is this compatible size wise with the Ironman commercial deluxe winch compatible bullbar? For a MR Triton

Great professional work, there’s no escaping those logos, even from a distance they stand out, just like KINGS products😀

At some point it aint camping anymore. Just sayin.....

God, this is boring and childish. Ok Luke got upset at the time but why go on like a moaning something

do you still use it mate? what are your throughs on the smoker couple years on?

agreed re the fast car charging being a game changer. once that happens, 12v systems will be a thing of the past...

Looking good, looking forward to the 12v setup 😀

After watching a slew of YT videos, I went with the Inspired Overland RTT to put on my 2024 Subaru Forester Wilderness. The latest 2.0 version weighs in at just under 80 lbs and is under 5 inches thick when closed.. I paid under $1k for it then got a sweet deal on the shipping.

What was the reason you didnt use teflon slides for this build? And any reason why you didnt build the cooktop into the drawers?
