Must say for half a mil very great condition, good base to work from x prepare for your trip through Africa.

I want to put a stake in the ground. When it’s time to sell this car to fund the next Africa build, Andrew, I want to buy it. I might change bits of your build, but even without seeing the rest of the build I appreciate that the basic mechanical condition of this Troopy is fantastic.

Si if we take the vehicle purchase cost and then add all of the suggested work by Paul. Add the retail cost. (Not mates rates) . Does that financially blow out against initially buying low km newer unit.? Don't forget that all of the money spent on it does not increase its value greatly. And don't forget Andrew is a vehicle flipper not a keeper. Cheers.

It's so clean and well looked after... what a rare find!

What a great vehicle, explanations are clear and so much experience to back up what they may need or not need to do, another fantastic overview from Paul.

I think a video showing how the -- very clean -- vehicle has been located, tested, and verified to be in a good status, is worth watching

Allan Gray cutout had me chuckling!!

Fantastic work! This episode, together with the previous, are a very helpful example of how one should go over a vehicle when purchasing. Thanks for making these series!

One advantage while living in the southern hemisphere is … normally your cars don’t see any salt on the road, eating your car literally under you away … she is a beauty 👍

Excellent content. 👍🏻

Thanks team. Cheers

thank you for sharing the video

Well done Paul😉

I love it we put a 1hd ft 24 valve in our troopy and it is so nice to drive

Thanks very informative video.

Lovely stuff

First to comment! ❤ Been really looking forward to this series. Watched the 100 series videos several times now!

Very informative! Love that Paul adresses the car as a female.

Transfer case will likely need a bearing kit

A little off topic, but what oil would you use for servicing a high mileage diesel - mineral or synthetic?

Andrew. 1hdt if anyone on earth can make it happen, its you.

I can't believe that vehicle has done 500k! The previous owner has been really conscientious with maintenance.

Can you do a itemised cost analysis for all the repairs?

Jeepers had to wait 8 minutes or so before we got a smile and a laugh outa the two mechanics…

Does Paul have a KZread channel ?,I could listening to him explain all day.

I want a 1HDT for this Troopy. And I've started looking for one. Damn hard to find!

Is this truck 045 white ?

I agree to a point but one meets the law of diminishing returns with some of the upgrades (not the actual repairs) and I'd prefer to put the money saved towards the cost of the next trip.

But any worthwhile trip requires a reliable vehicle. I'm not taking a risky vehicle on a demanding trip. That's not a good way to spend. I'm not driving through the US where a reliability issue can easily be sorted. Its Africa. Serious breakdowns are not an option.

@defendermodsandtravels

Жыл бұрын

@@4xoverland Totally agreed and I wouldn't for a moment suggest compromising reliability.. I know the pain of breakdowns on a big trip. All I am suggesting is that if one restores the vehicle to original spec I would rather spend additional money on the trip rather than on upgrades. It is a valid approach.

@4xoverland

Жыл бұрын

I see that. Behind the scenes, that is happening here. For example I rejected the list of spares proposed for body rebuild job and had to explain that I'm not building a concourse showpiece. If the component contributes to reliability, then I'll spend the money. If not, then I'll spend carefully. Some nice to haves, mostly need to have.

@@4xoverland the usage this particular 70 had in it’s prior ownership certainly wasn’t . As the inspection proved. But sure, if one was traveling in the bush/overlanding in Africa full time for the entire year it wouldn’t be a waste of money. Installing new shocks every couple of years would be a good idea too.

Did he say what he paid for it?
