It's been a hot minute since the last video on my 1998 Land Rover Discovery 1 300Tdi - but it's alive and running well! It took me a good six months to sort all of it's issues and get it running well. This is what needed to be done.

Heading back to one of my all time favourites, the Far North! 90 Mile Beach, awesome harbour ferries, cool things to see and endless gravel roads - it's pretty awesome!

I've always run factory brakes - for better or worse. Recently I jumped on the chance to try some aftermarket brakes and what a difference. With the extra weight of having a vehicle setup for touring, the aftermarket brakes make a huge difference.

I hit the sand in the Far North - joined by Sam from @SwampChook for a couple of days exploring an area I've never seen before. Epic sand dunes, epic beach, epic camping - you get the gist.

I've been a little MIA for the last few months - had a bit of a pause on producing videos but I'm back and amped up as ever! Here's a quick update on everything people have been asking.

I've always always wanted one of these - honestly can't explain why - but I bought one recently. Still not 100% sure what I'm going to do with it yet - but stoked to finally have one!

As much as I love modern common rail diesels, they are a little more sensitive to bad fuel than older cars. Installing a catch can and pre-filter will help keep my engine healthy for the long term!

I've been running this Feldon Shelter tent for three and a half years now - thought I'd answer a question I got a heap at a show the other week - "how well do the tents hold up?"

First trip of 2023! Join me as I head inland from Koitiata Beach through the hills and up to Pokaka Mill before heading out to the gem - Tukino.

Something I should've done before heading south - wrapping the Fortuner in PPF will help protect it for the long term and reduce the scratches and dents that it picks up. No way near as hard as I expected to apply, I'm stoked with how it's come out.

In this two part series we explore the South Island in winter - challenged by the weather, things don't quite go to plan - but that's part of the fun!

Part two takes us up to the old Big River gold mine before heading across Lewis Pass and out towards Lake Tennyson for a freezing night.

Join us as we cross visit Lake Coleridge, Arthur's Pass, Maori Gully Road and more on our epic adventure

It's finally time to throw away the rubbish suspension the Fortuner comes with and replace it with something that will work well offroad! Decided to chuck a Safari Snorkel on at the same time to get a little more intake noise and remove any worries about water crossings. Super stoked with how it's come out!

Scott's back and has been out shopping for his Surf replacement and has gone for something slightly different! We check out his new 2022 Land Rover Defender 110 HSE D300 and see what he has planned for it.

I've always had portable air compressors and have never quite been happy with them. The extra work required is a pain, so for the Fortuner build I decided to buy a hard mounted pump.

In this video I test out the speed of it vs my Ridge Ryder air compressor!

It's taken me almost four years to get around to chucking some USB ports up in my Feldon Shelter rooftop tent - not sure why but it's done now and I can finally keep gear charged up easily as I sleep.

In part four of the Fortuner build I tackle the GME XRS Connect 330 install. Such a nice little unit - and fits into a modern vehicle super well!

Join me for a super chill trip through the northern Wairarapa! Kicking off at Castle Point I head into the hills, visit an epic waterfall before punching back out to the coast again to wrap things up.

In early Feb I bought a $1500 trailer. It was painted a terrible silver colour, had ancient tyres on it and was generally rough. I parked it up in the garage for a month while trying to decide if I should do any work on it or just flick it on.

No, this isn't turning into a cooking channel - normal service will be returning ASAP. A few weeks ago I was sent a copy of @Fire to Fork 's book and decided to give cooking over fire a shot - it actually turned out pretty decent!
