    As a quasi expert on Toyota 4x4s. Change your oil in the transfer case, differential, transmission, your antifreeze, and a full synthetic engine oil. Also, change your thermostat. The big reason why you want to change your antifreeze is that Toyota is antifreeze after 5 years will turn acidic. That means it will slowly dissolve your hoses and your radiator.

    True. They'll run for eternity if you are maintenance savvy. Transfer cases tend to be overlooked by alot of people that don't know what they are driving. She obviously had the acumen enough to know if you are gonna buy something older, get a Toyota Land Cruiser. Or even a 4 runner.

    Sadly my 1995 4Runner got crashed out from under me, but it was still going strong at 18 years old and over 500k km. The regular maintenance is a must. Don't mix Toyota and non Toyota antifreeze. As said, change all the oils. Grease all the grease points. I switched to John Deere's high pressure waterproof grease and never had a driveshaft joint issue ever again. Greasing those joints after a river crossing is important.

    Well, Eva, I doubt you'll read this but if you are able to reach the age I am at 79, I hope you can say as I tell my friends, "I have accomplished all the things I wanted to do in my life up to now." I am plan on doing kind of like you. I have a mechanic working on a 15-year old Subaru Forester. When it is road worthy, after looking at plans for a sleeping place on youtube, I will buy the 1x4's and build a semi-permanent place to sleep with room underneath. I will then order from Amazon a flexible car-top carrier to pack a camp chair and extra clothing. My base is my current home/metal pole building. I, too, will camp one to 4 days at a time since I am a widower and don't need to hurry home. I find that I don't mind being alone either. When you are busy doing what you like to do, time goes by with no loneliness. I live in the foothills of the mountains that separate Idaho from Montana. You once stayed in Kamiah and I am 15 miles from there. Kamiah is on the river and I am at a higher elevation with more winter snow. You have your dog to keep you busy while camping and I play music on my mandolin, my ukulele, and my banjo ukulele. At the rate you are going you should be able someday when you are old, to say that you have done all you wanted to do. It is a satisfying feeling. I haven't traveled like you have, but I have seen a lot of the American West plus some of the fjords of Alaska and the Al-Can highway. I have really enjoyed your many videos. Thanks.

    Change all the fluids: engine oil and filter, coolant, brake fluid (everyone forgets this one, but trust me on this), power steering fluid, front and rear differential gear oil, transfer case gear oil, and transmission fluid. Also, change the engine air filter and cabin air filter, if needed. All of these jobs are DYI capable after watching a few KZread videos. I'm sure you have a handy Dad or Uncle who will help. It might make a good couple of videos.

    I always plan trips with days to spare, so I can use those if I get sick, need some rest, or just find a place I really like and want to stay an extra day. I'm neurodivergent and can get super stressed and anxious and simple things can sometimes be exhausting. Having some wiggle room takes so much stress out of the trip for me. With a long and active trip I also leave enough spare days that I can recharge either at home or on a beach or something at the end. Life changer.

    Congrats Eva and best of luck with it, I was a truck mechanic for the city of New York for 30yrs. and now I work for myself but the best advice I can give you is if one did not come with your vehicle go out and purchase an owners manual for your new ride find the maintenance schedule in it and follow it. If you don’t have a somewhat what compete maintenance history you might have to do some catching up which means you might have to service or replace something’s regardless. Second my advice is take it to a Toyota dealership they know their machines the best and they use Toyota parts and third there’s a lot of wrong advice out there from people who don’t know they don’t know so ignore it and follow your owner's manual, here’s a news flash those schedules are actual written by real engineers. And one more thing that flat panel that fell off the bottom of your car it’s there to keep our road noise and keep road dirt away from the components under your car so have it reinstalled.

    A lot of complicated electronic systems in the newer cars, which I personally don't like, to many computers and cameras, surveillance systems which don't actually make the cars nowadays better. If you maintain this Toyota and get it serviced, at those specified intervals, it will last forever, like your Defender. Modern cars won't even be on the road after 21 years, because of planned obsolescence. Nice choice, enjoy and may it take you and your loved ones wherever you need to go! I'm not from Poland, but I researched a bit, it's a very nice area. 😊Congratulations on getting a home!

    Yet new cars are sold as being environmentally friendly, yet require huge amounts of energy, water, raw materials to produce. The worst problem is that insurance companies refuse to pay for repairs to older lower book value cars, with a long useful life ahead. I think insurers should be required to safely repair, even older cars. Another shocking aspect of the insurance of cars is that recent premium increases have been significantly driven by the cost of claims involving EVs. Not only are they expensive to repair but their extra weight means more damage to them and to other vehicles. Replacing batteries can simply be not worth it, so the EV is written off. Madness.

    I have a one-berth microcamper I've built in my little Fiat 500L - a lot smaller than your new car, but I don't take a dog with me; I found the bed platform and storage quite easy to build. I used a pre-made keyboard shelf to make a little pull out for my camp cooker to go on in the boot. I'm least happy with the window covers, which are black cloth glued onto an insulating roll and push into place, but they're awkward and don't always stay in place perfectly. I want to re-do the window covers, but I'm still not sure how the new form will look. I've found It's worth getting wind deflectors for the windows so I can leave them open slightly for ventilation without them appearing open or risking getting rain inside. I only have the bed take up the larger side of the split rear seats, so I have more storage on the other side and can still use that one back seat if I need to (often I used it as my 'lounge' before bed or when the weather's bad). I really look forward to seeing how your build works out.

We also have three big dogs, so as the dog gets older, you’ll have to deal with getting him in and out, but it can be handled easily. I replaced the suspension and have done all of the normal maintenance and, it just …. Runs. Enjoy.

    Agreed. Did that with 3 VW vans over the last 55 years and it's worked for me. Build a flat bed base to fit and then custom drawers underneath with hidden storage spaces and cabinetry as needed in the floor and along the sides. Simple and it works. Add a Thule roof rack and storage box on the roof and it'll be almost as as roomy as your old rig. And much more comfortable and reliable.

I've purchased Makita's LED lantern, articulating light, flood light, oscillating fan, car vacuum, USB chargers Bluetooth speaker, air compressor, and air blower - all on their 18 V system. I have used every single one for outdoor adventures and clean up. Makita even has a battery powered microwave, coffee maker, and cooler with food warming unit. All geared for workmen out on their field. I'm excited for you, this new phase that you are on!

Good luck with your new wheels… and I’ll send a wish in a song… Neil Young’s “ Long May You Run “ … also congrats on your new home! 🌎🕊️ 🌜🌞🌛

    GFBISA: At last, a proper 4x4! Great choice, which you won't regret. But, as a Toyota owner of Land Crisers since their 80 Series, I strongly suggest that you take it to a Toyota trained outlet, and get them to give you a detailed, total back-to front report, which includes the suspension, pwoer train, electrics etc. Change ALL the fuids and lubricants, but have them properly flushed to remove any sedament , residues etc. Keep a good record of the correct fluids and lubes for future reference. They CHANGE ALL the belts, hoses and the clamps that hold them in position, of the entire vehicle, even if they look OK! If you have some part which is either the left or right side of that system, that has broken or over-worn, always change BOTH, because it opposite side is not far off going! Change both 12 Volt batteries (In the engine compartment, if they are 3 years or older, regardless if they are functioning OK> By doing the preventative maintenance, you will never have battery-related problems! Check all bushes, CV joints etc, and if worn exchange them all for new ones.*Dangerous steering is not an option! Just do it. If any more body panels feel a bit dodgy/loose, get the agents to remove them and replace all the clips that hold them in position. Check your braking system, discs, pads etc, and if they are worn more than 40%, change them for new ones. Flush your radiator and test it at a radiator workshop. A re-core is far cheaper than overheating and blowing your engine! It all sounds expensive, but until you know what is wrong (It's old, and there will be lots of little niggles etc, and some bigger ones, that will go eventually , if left. ) rather err on the side of caution and remember preventative maintenance is far cheaper than a breakdown where you don't need it! Go to Front Runner, and talk to them before yoy decide what to do... They have pre-built solutions, which are cheaper, and quicker than trying to build them yourself. *You provide them with major advertising and marketing exposure, and this new vehicle will be just up their street. *I suggest that you put in as a standard fitment before any modifications, a twin 12 Volt auxilliary battery with it's onwn management system, as well as a built-in battery charger which can plug in, so you can use AC/DC power for your accessories etc. Ask Front Runner for a superlight, Roof-Top Tent suggestion. They can be easily removed, in your own garage at home, and left suspended until you need it again. The roof-top rails can bolt into the special accessory channels already ontop of the vehicle using 8 mm / M8 stainless bolts. We have camped in sub-Saharan Africa since 1982, and always happy to help with suggestions. Take care and be safe out there Tim

    So exciting! Ive had a Toyota 80 series myself for a lot of years now and I use it for what youre planning to do with Toyka, so im really keen to see how yours turns out. For longer trips, I removed my back seat completely, and that gives a bit more length inside and improves access via the back doors too. Although its long enough to sleep in, I tend to just take a swag and sleep in that instead.

When we got our six and a half foot pop-up truck camper, it was no longer “camping” for me. Given that I put a compressor refrigerator freezer in it; a water heater; a furnace; a 2000 watt generator; and an air conditioner, it was no longer camping, it was four wheels and air conditioning.

    You can put aircon on the Defender. Research the Defender's aircon for Odyssey's year, find a donor vehicle in a scrapyard, get the pieces (don't forget pulleys, belts, wiring looms, bolts & brackets) and install it. Then take it to an automotive air conditioning place and have them pressurise it. Not easy, but not all that hard - just remember to drill-out the plug in the bottom of the heater box so the condensate can drain out. And while you're at it, look for the nicest driver's bucket seat... 😉 For ideas on small campers, there are endless vid's on yootoob by Korean girls - Yoyo Camp is one, Rirang On Air (she's quite gung-ho, likes roughing it and occasionally sets herself on fire 😁 ), and several others who often camp in their cars, all of which are much smaller than Toyka.
