Bringing you the very best of New Zealand on Youtube.
Exploring the Kaweka Forest - epic sunsets, awesome campsites and amazing views!
I spend the weekend exploring the Gentle Annie and zipping my way around the outside of the Kaweka Forest and ranges. With epic views and mint drives, it's an awesome place to spend a long weekend looking around.
New tyre time! Fitting some Kenda RT tyres to the Fortuner
After 75,000kms my old tyres were done - wanted something a tad more aggressive than last time. Picked up a set of Kenda RTs to try out and so far I'm super happy with them.
Solo 4WD trip to my favourite North Island campsite - chased by a storm!
There's nothing quite like trying to stay ahead of a storm on the way to camp! Join me as I explore the bottom of the North Island in my Land Rover Discovery 1.
Budget build update - Land Rover Discovery 1 300Tdi! All up and running nicely
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.
The Far North, Part 2 - 90 Mile Beach, Te Paki sand dunes + other New Zealand Far North gems
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!
Trying out a DBA Brake upgrade - quick install + do they actually make a difference?
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.
The Far North, part 1 - Ripiro Beach, Poutu and epic beach camps!
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.
What's coming up next for Overland NZ?
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.
New budget build! Introducing my 1998 300TDi Land Rover Discovery 1
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!
Catch can + fuel pre filter - Long term engine protection with Ryco - 2022 Toyota Fortuner build
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!
The Feldon Shelter - 3 years on, how is it holding up?
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?"
From the beach to the mountains - I've never seen Tukino like this + epic remote camping!
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.
That's a wrap! Bushwrapz PPF - how hard is it to apply? 2022 Toyota Fortuner build
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.

EFS suspension lift + Safari Snorkel install - Episode 5, 2022 Fortuner Build
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 bought a what‽ 2022 Land Rover Defender - how good is this thing!
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.
TJM Pro Compressor vs Ridge Ryder/Adventure Kings/Smittybilt/Generic 12 volt air compressor
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!
Getting power up into my rooftop tent - FINALLY! $30 mod to charge phones at night, run lights
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.
GME XRS 330COB Connect UHF radio install - Episode 4, 2022 Fortuner Build
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!
