Awesome set up Boz:) Just a tad green with envy..

This is great. Thank you for sharing it with us. Looking to build my own one in the near future. What’s involved in registering it (what does it cost and what does it need) and what does it weigh?

2:45 this is also me every time I setup camp 😂

Great episode on a tough situation. Love the car too. Keep up the good work mate👍

I'd be a little bit suss on that UHF handpiece location if the side airbag goes off. From memory there's a section in the user manual. Otherwise nice job from another Prado dad.

For the 250 I would definitely recommend a secondary fuel filter system, absolutely worth the cost and will save your engine from water or bad fuel. 250 will be awesome to own.

Who or how did you black out your chrome on the front , thanks mate. 👍

Respect

I bought and built up ('accessorised') my '22 VX based on a gazillion KZfaq videos (including videos from Ronny Dahl's and Harry Fisher's 'Fire-to-Fork' channels) that I had watched prior to my purchase and now that I'm all but done with my build, I have to say I think I got pretty close to everything as a package meeting my expectations. Last time I dared to look, the total cost of all the accessories I had installed is around the $50K mark which is bloody scary but hey, I've worked hard all my life too. My end game was always specifically setting my Prado up for touring and towing a hybrid caravan (to 'one day' travel the country with my family) rather than for doing any '4 wheeling' in it so first up, I ensured I installed a pre-rego 3.5T GVM upgrade (2" lift Dobinsons suspension with airbags) when I first got it. Whilst I ended up with a similar'ish setup as your rig (got a bunch of Kaon gear but steered well clear of the underbody protection - additional weight), I purposely avoided the dual battery issue by using a portable power station (Bluetti AC200Max + 800W portable solar panels) for all my camping needs but it also doubles as an overnight power source for my kitchen fridge (fully charges by day using my 10.5kW home solar) so I effectively have the thing running 24/7 and it works great!! The thing I really need to get onto is to have my entire setup (tow rig and caravan) professionally weighed when fully loaded which could be a little scary but I did have minimising my weights in mind throughout my build. Anyhow as a new subscriber, I look forward to seeing more of your videos

Wishing you all the best Rob 🙏 look forward to seeing you out on the tracks soon

Fantastic video of a great bloke and his indestructible GF

Great video! I wish Rob good health and I'm sure with that attitude, he will spend another 37 years and more with his girlfriend.

If it wasnt for aunty peta that car would be the wife. Out lived his brother in laws cruiser

Teenage kids, oh I still have that to look forward to (5 & 7 yo boys currently). In the process of builind my own "camper" and love taking my boys camping. Now subscribed. Thank you for sharing. Cheers

What was the total cost of this build

Top job mate be proud

Absolutely love this very tidy trailer……very well done…bless you

Great content and genius trailer. Thanks for the ideas!

Love the trailer, well done, kudos to you, Dad doing projects with the kids. I cant agree with you more

Mate, I got hooked into your videos! Keep going..

Top video mate, if only all of the stuff on youtube was as honest as this instead of thinly disguised sales pitches. Well done sir.

Just curious, do you still have your Prado? I'm in this dilemma to sell my Prado and replace it with Tesla Model Y or sell the wife's car, Merc B series. But I love my Prado. I don't do serious offroading. It's mainly camping and i see the EV charging stations are increasing day by day.

What a useful video, mate! Well done 🎉

Very informative video. Subscribed to your channel. I have a 2018 GXL upgraded to leather trimmed seats. They are almost the same as Kakadu or VX. Worthy upgrade.

I'm in the middle of building my own camper trailer/toy hauler, I've just finished painting the chassis and now finalising the design before i continue! I can't believe the amount of new skills I've had to learn since starting this project and its far from done, but i'm already super proud of it! Great walk around video, anything you would change or do better if you could do it again?

Are there any cheaper quality camping trailers available???

Just hit the subscription button. Nice setup. Thanks for sharing.

Nice trailer Boz

Great vid Boz

Thanks for the valuable information. I'm spot on your target audience with the same model land cruiser. Got mine without all the bells and whistles. Not even seat heaters unfortunately.

Good morning here for Texas, I am reaching out to get a question answer. I own a 2023 Gx 460 and will want to go over landing, I don’t like the over built and extra heavy vehicles here. I love the rear door with the tire carrier will that fit my Gx 460 here?do you know where can I order one ? Thank you! Love your channel

Boycott

Silicone cover does NIOT cover “on” button which is a MAJOR design flaw. Pressing “on” button (by accident) with cover on, could result in gimbal damage.

I have a pocket 3, to get it out of the case, i plug a battery in it, it pulls out straighter, they needed some finger reliefs so you could grab it correctly. I agree flick it, works better.

As a long term Princess cruiser, watching your video was amazing. It was very informative and a fair report. I agree with all you said, and that is why I have done over 700 days of sailing on Princess. They are the best!!

Hi great video. Re your DCS aux battery. What battery surround have you used? Do you think it helps keep the heat away from the battery? Does it seal against the bonnett? Cheers. Robin

Thank you for your honest & concise run down on your build. Very informative, and for a beginner, it's a great starting point for referencing.

Taking one for the team. Good man. That said, I can't imagine having any fun on a cruise.. ;)

Great video. Subscribed. Thanks for sharing the mistakes as well as the hits.

I can highly recommend the KAON rear shelf that hangs from 3rd row seat grab handles. It takes HEAPS of stuff. All that gear in your door pocket and rear table caddy would go up into it.

Hi Brian great video mate could you please give me some info about suspension on your Kakadu. I Just bought mine wanting to do a suspension upgrade but no one wants to touch it. Also I am from WA. Will be great if you can point in right direction. Thanks

I love the black grill and trim. Where did you get them or who makes them?

Hey mate. I don’t know why KZfaq showed me your video on my main page, but it did. And I’m happy to say I have seen it. Sincerely, an American dad who has always wanted to visit NZ. Looks like a dream trip.

you don't need the gear selector. Its better without it. and the "roof" gear selector is there only to be used if the screen is not working.

i find it interesting that you hated the front shocks of the kakadu. lessions learnt I suppose. I know a fella that went from a GXL to Kakadu and couldnt be happier. Each to their own

Great vid mate. I am thinking to add rola racks as my first mod and thats how i got here. Good stuff!!

"Just between us, boys"... and with that you wiped out half of your potential audience.

Good video, I like how can be a bit critical of the car, so honest review. No car is perfect. I own a business so not sure novated lease is a good option. My business pays the monthly payments it claim the GST (maximum claimable) I'm an employee of my company so my company pays for everything and my personal income is not affected.

Great video 💪 keep them coming

Good vid mate and a well set up 4x4👍
