About us:
We're Jack & Megan, and in late 2020 we sold our belongings and packed our lives into our 2005 Toyota Troop Carrier to travel Australia. Our original plan was to complete a full lap of Australia and return home to Perth to resume our 'normal' lives. We decided we wanted to document our lap for the future and began sharing weekly travel vlogs of our life on the road and fell in love vlogging, filmmaking and sharing our lives with you. We completed our first lap and couldn't imagine living any other way so we decided to continue travelling and calling the Troopy home. We have gone on some crazy adventures since then and it is all thanks to you tuning in to join us every week.

That mount franklin bottle is as classic as the car is!

Found the bottle in the car as well 😂
The fact that you locked it shows that you already value it ;-) If you get yourself an oil can and a small spray bottle , a litre of acetone ( bunnings ) and a litre of automatic transmission fluid you can make loads of good penetrating fluid for cheap , put it everywhere that's going to need to come apart and it can be working while you think about where to start , mix it 50:50 . Don't spray on plastic as the acetone may damage it but there's not much plastic on the mighty FJ45 . Good job getting it out , the journey begins ...

Call it "MEG_CAM", sounds similar to "WEB_CAM" bcoz "MEGAN CAM" sounds a bit boring 😊 Cheers for this short video clip guys. Smiles and happiness from you guys are very contagious. Make me smile and happy too whenever I watched videos from you guys. "LOVE" is all you need. As long as you guys love each other and are there for each other? You can face the world easily. Truly. "LOVE" is all you need" 💕💑💕

A quick way to bleed the clutch and the brake fluid is to get a old spray bottle like Ajax spray and wipe and use the nozzle, hook a bit of tubing onto the end of the nozzle and the other to what your trying to bleed, saves you having to pump the clutch or brake just keep squeezing the nozzle and it’ll bleed through in seconds.

The old man bought a new house and had nowhere to park it up safely and it was just forgotten about unfortunately.
Didn’t you have a different boy friend you traveled with? I am confused.
