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 moment Jacks dad gives him a long loving hug is so special. I lost my dad very suddenly last November and that moment in your video brings back such awesome memories of him. Cherish the time you have, hug your parents often ❤
That bent drawer is killing my ocd lol looking forward to the rest of the build
Your story-telling through your brilliant editing is next level. Starting the episode by showing parts of the build series to re-capture journey and the emotions, is a master-stroke. Great work. 👍👍
The dog i have use to go with me everywhere but unfortunately age has caught up with her and she doesn,t travel well anymore . Having a dog on your travels is the best thing ever . Good luck with the rest of the build guys . Looking forward to some amazing content .

Thanks so much Brett! We are so excited for Ollie to come along with us for this trip!
350 Chev in cruiser needs an engine fan and very well fitted radiator cowl to prevent overheating. Marks 4WD adapters are available for the fan. The cowl will need to be fabricated to match the engine position. Ask me how I know :) 350 Chev in 60 series👍 many years ago now.
You both have such expertise in turning the ordinary into an adventure. Very motivational and exciting. You deserve much success and happiness.
The B roll of the fiat caught me off guard. Nice editing 😅

Good for your channel, everyone loves projects.
Why you guys gotta hit us right in the feels within the first 30 seconds like that. That was such a glorious moment when you surprised Jack's dad. kills me every time. Lost it when you mentioned the table thing and then showed the clip from way back, I thought of that instantly! hahahaha This is looking like a really interesting build for Dimples 2.0. except drilling into the tub. 🥲
Really enjoyed watching and look forward to when you finished it

It was the FJ rebuild that got me onto you guys. It was a great series, and I have been hooked ever since. Looking forward to see what you do next, and where it takes you. Glad to see Ollie is going to tag along this time.
Just love the old cruiser, first vehicle I ever drove was a brand new hj47 as a kid. I'm currently restoring a '83 patrol shorty to go touring in with my dog! Great Video, can't wait to see the full setup
Damm, I love that garage area!!
Gday M n J ... Awesome Video ... Loved what you did with the FJ45... loved the look on Dads face when he saw it back then ... cant wait to see you out camping in it
You guys make a great team, loved this episode...what the heck, I love them all...

Well edited episode guys. It was uber entertaining. 👌 I hope you were able to straighten that bent Titan drawer. 'Coz if you couldn't, I would have taken it straight to a 4WD Supacentre store to request a replacement, before continuing with the build.
Great Ep Guys, lovey set up, I had over heating troubles towing my 5m boat with my 1HZ 80 series I had 3 different new Cooper brass radiators fitted in 5 years still got hot, in the end I fitted a 3 core all Alloy radiator GI racing just a cheap one $250 off Ebay , right from the first drive it run 26 degrees cooler not towing and 20 degrees cooler towing in summer been in now 5 years, maybe its worth a try, oh and I run nearly strait Coolant to,
We're heading to wa soon, love to see some trips and tips for when we visit but love all your videos and would watch what ever you guys do.

The kings drawers always come with bent tops. Hit them up and they send out new top. And the slide out top will regularly unlatch its self and move around. Best thing i did was just fix it solid.

I love little builds like this, but why are you building it so everything comes out the drivers side? With the over heating, is it doing it all the time or at certain times/scenarios?
you might need a fold up metal step from Bunnings or even a little foldable red plastic step from supercheap's caravan section. Having just done a 6 week trip in someone else's vehicle it only serves to make you appreciate your own vehicle even more ... lol

Hey Graeme. Are you talking about the fiat scene? That was not an advertisement at all. That’s my sisters car and we just wanted to put a little scene together we though it would be cool to test our new camera out 😊 and the cars a classic so we thought it would be funny. 👍 Thanks for watching
