The BAS re-map will make a great improvement in drivability in the middle gears - however watch out for clutch issues with the extra power - we changed out our clutch for a LOF ‘powerful’ one and took the opportunity and changed the output shaft for a stronger one at the same time. Truly love your videos ! - safe travels.

Nice review - enjoyed that. Water is important here in Australia because of the vast distances and desert. Our caravan, which we tow with our 2009 110 station wagon, has 200 litres of water tank, plusb80 litres of grey water. Recommend you get a hose with a filter and 12 volt pump so you can pump from rivers and filter before putting in your tank. We have a 120 litre diesel tank which gives a range of about 950 kilometres. Diesel is widely available but your extra 20 litres would be useful in very remote areas. Be aware Australia is VERY fussy about vehicle cleaning to keep out imported pests and diseases, so you will need to clean the vehicle very thoroughly yourself, but be prepared for Customs to order a second cleaning by a professional company at your expense. We are on the Sunshine Coast north of Brisbane so feel free to make contact if you would like to visit. Australians normally go north in winter to chase the sun and south in summer for cooler temperatures. Australia is vast, so be prepared for a lot of travel. There are many free camping spots.

Thank you for all the details, yeah we’re thinking we may need extra fuel for Australia. Water I think we should be fine with the extra jerrycan, it would mean having 115L of water and 140L of fuel. But potentially we could upgrade to 195L of diesel.

Hi Y'all, Nick you would love my 1958 Dodge 4X4 US Army M42 Ambulance (May It RIP) I got it in 1987, took a few years to customize and we traveled extensively Alaska, Canada, US, Mexico down to the Panama Canal.

Hi Paul! We have tubes bringing the coolant from the engine in our water tank and out again. We have a on / off switch so we can control when the coolant takes that circuit and a temperature gage to control the temperature of the water directly next to the steering wheel. So if we want hot water for a shower we would activate it maybe 20/30’ before arriving as we drive to bring the water to 40 degrees Celsius. It is awesome and very simple. It really increased our comfort a lot.

I assume you'll keep the DPF for when you get to Australia and can swap back? The high lift and winch might not get used but the piece of mind of having them, the confidence to go remote and solo and then the 1 future time they completely save your ass they could pay for themselves being there in 1 use. Good walkthrough.

@NextMeridianExpedition not an Australian, but they are tight on rules, even on tyre sizes and for sure on exhaust/DPF. I think you need a basic inspection on cleanliness and roadworthyness to get into country and if you fail you pay storage charges while they clean or yoy get it legal. I'd ask overlanders that have done it but it could be expensive to get into Australia if they dont like your vehicle. I've just researched for my own trip not experienced but kinda came to the conclusion with the most expensive shipping in/out and limited visa time there Id consider buying and selling there for my trip rather than taking my own.

Hello! nous on adore. et on a un petit réchaud au gaz (petite bouteilles) qu'on utilise les quelques fois ou on peut pas utiliser le Colman. mais c'est rare et que pour faire des nouille ou des pates. on trouve que c'est tellement facile a reremplir, on le fait a la pompe tranquille. certaines personnes font au gaz mais c'est plus de logistiques quand meme. ca depends des personnes du coup je pense hahaha nous le coleman c est un de nos équipements préféré.

@@NextMeridianExpedition et vous arriver à trouver facilement du gaz en petite bouteille pour votre rechaud ? Nous sommes en réflexion pour notre départ en Amérique du Sud entre le coleman et une bouteille campingaz, on se demandait surtout par rapport au climat plus froid si l’option cuisine a l’intérieur était régulier ou que de temps en temps 🤷🏻

@@wildheartfamily c'est rare que les utilise donc on ne consomme tres peu et on en a toujours une en plus. on a trouve dans les grandes villes en Colombie la dernière fois. on a des bouteille MSR je crois que ca se trouve mieux a l étranger. Campinggaz j y connais rien mais il faudra être sur qu'ils puissent vous le reremplir et c'est pas toujours les memes adaptateurs c'est un des problèmes. alors que coleman jamais de stress. et juste avoir le mini réchaud en support. Mais encore une fois c'était notre decision et on regrette pas parce qu'on aime pas cuisiner dedans de toutes façons pour épargner l intérieur du 4x4. mais pleins de gens préfèrent cuisiner dedans. juste assurez vous que vous pourrez re remplir votre gaz.regardez peut être sur ioverlander les points de remplissage de gaz, il y a peut être des infos interessantes

How is the bf Goodrich tyres. I had a set and at 20000 km they were badly chipped and cracked.

Ours last about 60-80 000km. We use the ko2 AT and we can recommend those. I don’t know about the other models.

Yes. This is a dream car! Would love to know the ballpark cost so that I can start planning my own trip.

Yes, you have a leak (4:32) at the level of the front axle …or it’s a dog who was passing by 😂

I've been moaning about renovating & refitting the brake calipers, discs and handbrake shoes on my X-Trail for ages (finished tomorrow). I think I'll stop moaning now! I wish I could afford a landy. Sadly stuck with an X-Trail (good vehicle) and a Renault Clio (the worst car I've ever had in my life - I know you're French but Nicole & Papa have a lot to answer for when it comes to Renault!). I'm still waiting for Matilde's children's audio books to come out - as I said before, they would sell like hot cakes. Maybe a story about Albo?

Good job on the brakes!!!! Hahahaha Clio 🫶🫶😍 we re just Born with Renault in the blood we cannot do anything about them. I know I know, the audio book idea is slowly making its way!

You have the wrong ideia about tyres. In Noth Africa almoust every truck uses 235/85R16, so is very easy to find spares.

Is there no room for W.C?

It will be difficult to open your tent with a spare tire on it... Better store your stuff on the roof rack and put the tire on your hood, i think. What would be your itinierary from egypt to south africa ?
