@@lukelloyd2944 Thanks for the feedback, it’s appreciated. I did look at fitting 17s for a little bit more sidewall but the cost of purchasing a new set of wheels was expensive & didn’t warrant it for the traveling I do. I don’t plan on off roading it, only on light tracks I might find while exploring. Unfortunately with the lift, here in the U.K. it’s almost impossible to get any modified parts for a Subaru outback so I was limited to what I could actually import as I couldn’t get anywhere that I could find to ship to me from overseas. I kinda got lucky with the Readylift as it was on eBay and they offered shipping to the U.K. after a bit of negotiation.

@@360OutdoorAdventures Thanks mate. I have had it in mud and bog on road tyres and it got me out being AWD so now it’s on all terrains it will be much more capable and give me more confidence in any off road situation 👍

Ha ha yes I’ll be down soon 😂

@@MrBrad248248 Thanks, they should make it a very capable vehicle in any situation I might find myself in 👍

@@OutAndAbout-UK Thanks mate 👍

@@LoneWolfExplorer sometimes the subtle changes make a huge difference don’t they

@@OutAndAbout-UK Yes definitely, I fully agree with that 👍

@@Camperman01 Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 👍

@@lifesahobby Thank you, yes that’s would be a welcome thing a bit more mileage 👍

@@360OutdoorAdventures Thanks Garry, yes it’s a great cook set up & I’m looking forward to using it 👍 I do enjoy chilling in the garden when it’s nice and hot 👌

@@user-jf6jw6qu2n Thanks I really appreciate that and yes it’s a great stove, I’m loving it also. Thanks for sharing that idea, I’ll definitely give that a go for sure 👍

@@nmk0078 They were £328 delivered.

👍

@@J4m-ontoast I’m pretty sure it just pushed through nice and easy. From memory there is already quite a bit of loom going through that grommet. Can you take off some of the tape at all?

@@MrBrad248248 Thanks, yes it’s a little tropical haven and I love the stove so far 👍

I’m hoping there won’t be a next time 😂 But I know there will be so if one is stuck I might try that, thanks 👍

Yes I agree with you, that’s why I never put any of the sound deadening mats on the floor. I don’t think you need them with the ridges that keep it solid. But I I did want insulation on the floor and the closed cell foam insulation I think is a good choice as it’s both an insulation and sound deadening in one so you can’t really go wrong. With the roof I thought a couple of pads won’t hurt as I wasn’t 100% sure. I see some people use the sound mats on every square inch of the van, I think this is unnecessary and just adds weight and cost. Thanks for your input 👍

Thanks mate, I appreciate that. I can see why you have both, I’m already thinking about why I might need a 27 lol

That’s good to hear, I’ve been really happy with mine so far 👍

Aww thank you, the garden is always my happy place & with the weather being nice and hot I thought why not enjoy it. Was also a good excuse to use my new stove 😉

My thoughts exactly 😉

Well actually yes, Yokohama do these in an 18” as I’m looking at using them on my Subaru in a 235/60/18. Also Falken wildpeaks do a 235/60/18 & Toyo open country do a 235/60/18. I had some BFG all terrain in an 18” on my Discovery 2 many years ago but can’t remember the size, they were bigger than 235/60/18 so it depends on what size you want.

Hello there my friend 👋 After changing just the one injector I had no more problems 👍 I can understand the logic though of the workshop as they are trying to prevent further injector issues, I thought about changing all 4 myself so I had no further problems but didn’t want the cost involved.

I know it does look nice 👌

Thank you 🙏

Ha yes I was and still very tempted but trying to keep the van build as a budget build. I was thinking about just painting the wheels black but who knows what I’ll do in the future as even I don’t 😂

Thank you so much for the kind comment, I’m so glad the video was helpful and you found it useful so you can do the job yourself. That was the motivation behind this video and my others in my caddy van build series. If you haven’t seen those yet, go check them out. I also have a caddy van playlist you might find interesting. Yes Luke has been an absolute legend, hopefully there will be some more work to come on the caddy van🙏

Yes good advise, thanks. I don’t know why I didn’t do it sooner but I do now 👍

I know, you couldn’t make this stuff up!

I know right, not quite the adventure I was hoping but what can you do but try and deal with it best you can. Next drama is getting the van fixed 😬

Yes exactly, that’s what I thought. It should have been simple but the RAC didn’t seem to communicate even within their own departments & it looks as though they subcontract a lot of work outside of the company. Since they sold to a big investment company in 2015, they have gone downhill IMHO.

Thanks mate, it was an adventure for sure 😉

Yes it's quite shocking how I was treated as a customer. Hoping the van will be back on the road soon.

Thank you, I appreciate your support friend :)

@@LoneWolfExplorer you’re welcome my friend 🫶🐯

Yes I won't be renewing with the RAC again that's for sure!

Thanks mate, I'm sure it will all get sorted in good time & I'll be back out ;)

Thanks mate, it’s looking pretty good now 👌

Thank you & I’m glad you enjoyed yourself 😂

Thanks mate, yes Luke is a Legend. I couldn’t have done it without his help and support throughout 👍

Thanks for the comment and shout out was a pleasure to help lonewolfexplorer out

Yes I could have done that actually, good idea. I’m assuming this is for the sag in the roof I was talking about 😉

Thanks, Glad you like it!

Thanks & yes I'm well chuffed with how it has turned out, totally transforms the van from work van to camper van :)

Thank you! It was definitely worth the wait ;)

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I actually really enjoy cooking outdoors, hoping to do some more in the near future 👍

Ha yes for sure, Luke is a legend 😉

Thank you, it’s definitely starting to come together 👍

Thanks, it was nice to this job done. Feels like progress at last 👍

Yes, especially if you have just woken up in nature and want a quick coffee. It’s my go to stove still to this day ;)
