Great video as always, Adrian. I'm interested, though I also have a 100 series with the bonnet mirror, and I thought that a bullbar would destroy that extra bit of visibility you get from the nose of the vehicle. Do you still have full frontal visibility, or does the bar significantly reduce visibility?
@RoamOverlanding8 күн бұрын
It does effect it; but honestly I don’t know what it’s like without the bumper 🤣 I just like being able to see if I’m in the parking properly or not or near a pavement 😂😂 I can imagine how good it would be to see how far the bumper is from a wall too, but yes the bull bar blocks it

The River Rock range is a bit more premium than even the signature range, so I think it was around R20,000 in total for all the stuff we did, including which you dont really see here a bootliner for under the drawersystem. They are also fully specced seat covers will all the possible pouches, water bottle holders and map pockets. So its alot!

Great video, thanks ! I still hesitate to buy a Jimny - three questions : 1. Do you think that it will be reliable in the long term (if engine oil changed every 5000miles / 8000km) ? Especially gearbox and engine ? 2. Can you fit a high lift jack in the rock sliders holes ? (and will it hold the vehicule without breaking) 3. I like the fact that you did not opt for 235 tires. Too much weight. Still happy with 215 tires ? :) Greetings from south Switzerland !
@davesantimaw541327 күн бұрын
Two thoughts from an overlander. First, if you do your preventive maintenance yearly, you may have been able to save a lot of money, equipment, and time. Second, buy an FJ Cruiser and you’ll avoid many of your Hilux problems.

The green box already has a dcdc in it which is voltage sensitive so will only kick in when your front battery is charging. But bear in mind that includes ac/dc charging not just the alternator. If you need to charge the front battery make sure to switch off the green box

The 100 series and 105 series Landcruisers are arguably the best (80's are maybe a bit tougher, but not as comfortable or nicely appointed as the 100/105) Landcruisers ever made. Sure the Troopys have their place too. Anyway definitely a great choice of a 4x4 or overlanding vehicle. And the 1hd-fte is DEFINATELY THE Best Toyota Engine ever produced.
