Are there any mods that would make your top 5 that weren't in the list? 🤔

Great advice! Everything came with my new vehicle except the bull bar and the CB radio.

Cold weather camping, line your chair with a high density foam bedroll. Start at the front at the ground and go up behind where your knees would be across the seat and up the back the excess just stays rolled up at the back. Keeps you beautifully warm at the campfire.

Informative and well presented!

An additional pieces I would add, if you are buying a used 4WD - do a service. The previous owner might say it's been regularly serviced, but last thing you want to do is being stuck on your first trip due to a simple service. Also, check any previous 12V set ups & be sure there are fuses on the lines. Finally, take a small spares box with key pieces that will get you out of trouble!

Great content mate. Did not consider the benefits of playing I Spy in a convoy haha!

Great list! having good tyres and recovery points are a really good start imo. I think if you have a modern diesel, a second fuel filter/water seperater would be high on the list.

Sort of good video. The actual order is; 1 recovery points. 2 recovery gear. 3 diff breathers. 4 Suspension up-grade to specific tyre size and type. 5 Specific tyres for your choices. After that, snorkel then Bullbar, towbar, whinch, lights, side and reverse lights, 12 volt system upgrade. After that it really depends upon the defecits of your particular vehicle. Sorry for re-arranging your day, but lets face it; I know far more about this stuff. Keep hanging in there and doing though. Cheers.

You should heed your own advise and fit some rated recovery points at the front of your vehicle.

Good video again I hope you both had a great Christmas and new years

Another great video, Daniel. Especially liked the fold up table seen at 0:46!

Great video mate, it’s always a tough decision about what to modify first

[joekresan]

If you’re gonna bolt 300 lbs of stuff to your front end do it before you address the suspension

[FH]

Rated in relation to what?
The bolt holes in your chassis is what i would want to know the rating of first.
Can have a 50, 000lb recovery point but when you bolt that into something that can only handle 5000lb it kind of defeats the purpose doesnt it?

[jase]

Those hand movements should be on the Price is right or TV shop channel.

[regkershaw]

Another informative video.
With that in mind I would like to know your thoughts on the dune rooftop tent.
And what is it like in the heavy rain and wind.
And if it wasn't dune what would be your next choice?

[Man-fpvp]

What are the measurement for your tyres?

[krillbo]

How does the canopy hold up? I’m thinking of getting one from the MRT place you mentioned but it’s pretty cheap so wanna make sure it’s alright

[davidmunroeprecisionengine]

Is what you call a VHS radio, what we call in England a c.b. (citizens band) radio? Thanks v much

[whenmountainsmove]

Dont get a bolt on bull bar though, those for strictly for looks. Welded is the only way to go for actual offroad/ overlanding adventures.

[claudineraymundo]

What brand suspension lift did you use?
