This is awesome mate
great video mate i subscribed
could you tell me where you found your parts?
Haircut, mate. That looks better.
Good job. Well done.
A Land Cruiser??? Now that’s swearing 😛 Ah well, in your case you’ve got
the best of both. You’re also right about the verbal diaorreah that comes
out of blokes mouthes, especially between landy owners and cruiser owners.
Vain glory as usual, particularly when one has to pull the other out of
crap, or vice a versa. LOL
Thanks mate.
thanks mate… will be at least a couple months before part 5 is ready…
will see how i go with the build.
Well done mate, it’s coming along nicely.
lol 144p
Perfect work Brett!
Thanks.
Excellent work. You are my Landy Hero. Such an inspiration. Love how you
rethought every function.
Hey mate.. if you watch my Cape York Adventure series there is footage of
the Landy in action.
Great Job Mate. Looking forward for new video !
Thanks mate.. bit by bit I’ll get her finished.
Nice!
Awesome!
Also, for your battery that powers the second fuse box, it it connected to
the alternator?
Thanks mate. haha.. still more to come.
Thanks Bernie. yes, was a little worried about the overhang but with larger
side accessible boxes I can fit more of the important quick grab stuff
there and wedge everything else in the middle. No trips at the moment, but
taking a week off soon to hopefully build the internal framing for the bed
and storage. stay tuned.
excellent work! who makes the dome (map) lights?
can I buy that car?
Thanks.. go for it. You can buy 1 metre led strip lights for like $1 with
free postage from china if you keep your eyes out.
Thanks mate.
Would you be able to put up a video of offraoding the landy
All vehicles break. The most broken down vehicle on Cape York in Australia
are Toyotas!.. there’s more of them though. Land Rover has had build
quality issues over the years due to the vehicles being hand built which
can mean a great deal of variation between cars… some turn out to be
lemons… but on the other hand.. 75% of all Land Rovers are still on the
road today.. so many will be quite old but the best thing is they are
relatively simple to fix yourself if you’re handy! 🙂
I drive both and each is an excellent off roader. Don’t know where you are
but parts for Land Rovers can be a big problem in remote areas.. most
garages have Toyota parts available. Toyota’s have much better ergonomics
if driving comfort is an issue. Land Rovers are highly customisable, look
like they are built for exploring and earlier models are fairly simple to
work on yourself. A 90 may not be big enough though for longer trips in
remote places. I would go for the Land Rover. 🙂
thanks.
G’day Brett, I’ve noticed you changed your number plate too mate, as you
are also a Queenslander. Who knows, I might bump into you one day on track
or elsewhere wherever. Besides that, you’ve done a good job with your
upgrades, and have given plenty of inspiration to other landy owners who
would be too lazy to put the effort in to do what you’ve done. Cheers Matt
are you going to fit carpets in the back and add the original trim (eg rear
window surrounds, roof lining ect)
Brett, I’ve been following your build. Where did you find your ex-army
toolboxes?
I have a 60 series Cruiser and a 300tdi Defender. Both are excellent,
simple, rugged trucks. I have other trucks for fun, but these are for fun
and work. You can use them as a home base if you’re travelling or don’t
like house work. The Defender is more purposeful looking and can be
customised more easily. I think it has more character and style, but that’s
a question of taste. Enjoy yourself and don’t worry about whether you
bought the ‘right’ truck. Most blokes talk shit anyhow.
I’m inspired!
