About us:
We're Jack & Megan, and in late 2020 we sold our belongings and packed our lives into our 2005 Toyota Troop Carrier to travel Australia. Our original plan was to complete a full lap of Australia and return home to Perth to resume our 'normal' lives. We decided we wanted to document our lap for the future and began sharing weekly travel vlogs of our life on the road and fell in love vlogging, filmmaking and sharing our lives with you. We completed our first lap and couldn't imagine living any other way so we decided to continue travelling and calling the Troopy home. We have gone on some crazy adventures since then and it is all thanks to you tuning in to join us every week.
I got tears in my eyes when your dad saw it.
WOW. That moment will be with you all forever.
Great work.
Don’t ever sell it. Pass it down to your children.
100% will be a memory we cherish forever. So happy to have it on camera too. Absolutely, when the guy offered to buy it Jacks dad said he wouldn’t sell it for anything 🙌🏼 Thanks for watching Neil!
Same here…….
Nothing is better to a dad then getting this from his kids. Priceless.
Was such a special day for all of us! Thanks for watching mate
👍 one of the luckiest dad! I wish I would have a big smile with tears in my eyes like your dad to see my 1971, SS454, Malibu Chevelle back to the street me driving around! I bought it brand new 1971 as a birthday gift to myself! Now a classic car! It is seating in my garage rusting and waiting to go back to the street! He is with me all those years!
Currently restoring a 1969FJ45 UTE. In Tanzania🇹🇿Eastern Africa.
This episode made me shade tears, and truly, it shows an outcome of a great relationship between a dad and a son. It shows a true father and son love and i know restoring a car back to its former glory is expensive and you guys where ready to sacrifice on that.
This is so inspiring and God bless you all. 🙏🏾
Cheers Jay and good luck with the build!!
A Surprise your Dad will never forget. Happiness that money can’t buy. You’re Great Guys. 👍
Absolutely! Will be a day we won't forget either 🙌🏼 Thanks so much for watching!
The expression on your father's face will be a memory that you will carry with you for ever. Such a wonderful gesture.
100% so glad to have it on camera too 🙌🏼 thanks for watching mate!
This episode is utterly swimming in emotions! Absolutely awesome. Can’t wait to see the “ beauty” on a camping trip
Sorry we’re a bit behind on comment replies but just wanted to say thank you! So glad you enjoyed the episode and really appreciate your support throughout the build 🙏🏼
Megan & Jack: congratulations on your FJ45 restoration. Truly amazing. Cheers AB
Thanks so much for following along it was a great day showing the old man!
I have a 64 fj40 with canvas doors , an top , getting cleaned up in my step sons Garage ! Great son , To do this for his Dad ! 🤠
That’s would be awesome mate! Love the short wheel bases!
That was wonderful seeing your Dad's reaction , the big hug and that smile and thumbs up as he drove out of the shop , well done Jack & Megan , you've made him a very happy man , big pats on the back both of you 🙂
Thanks so much Gordon! Really appreciate your support throughout the whole build! 🙏
You just created a memory all three of you will have for the rest of your life. Great work, it looks awesome.
Thanks so much mate! Agreed, honestly was one of the most special days of our lives 🙌🏼
Congratulations on finishing the build! Your dad looked so happy, Jack!
Thanks for following along mate. Dad was so happy with it!
This is so heart warming.
I lost my dad suddenly two years ago. So many things we never got to do together.
This is something you or he won't forget. **clears tears from my eyes**
Well done bud! Kudos.
Sorry to hear Dale. Thankyou for watching apprentice it mate.
Wow , what a fantastic gesture that was…I initially thought Papa Bear wasn’t that impressed until he realised it was real and it was in front of him , it was to see how much it meant to him.
The FJ turned out really well , I’m not sure I could hand it over myself…look forward to the trip away episode and seeing that 350 turn it on and with petrol nudging $2 a litre I’d imagine you won’t be going too far.
Haha yeah we’re not sure if he was just so set in his morning routine it didn’t register straight away or if he was thinking ‘crap I’m on camera aren’t I’ 😂😂
Thanks so much for your support throughout the whole build mate, really appreciate it.
Fantastic result Jack and Megan. Your endless desire to restore a piece of history, and display the power of love, both between you as a couple and the relationship Jack has with his dad.
You have inspired me to restore my 1971 XY ute (GT mock up) that my dad bought me when I was 15, and present it to him. He drove myself and 11 other siblings around for years in a similar ute, and I know what sort of impact these memories can have on us! Nothing material can ever top the power of love; especially in the uncertainty we all face in the world today! Keep up the great work, and continue to live life to its fullest! Lee
Thanks for following the journey Lee! That’s so great to hear that you will be restoring the old car your old man will absolutely love it! Would love to see some photos.
We’ll done guys, you are a younger version of your dad mate. Awesome job.
Thanks Greg! 😊👍
Well done Jack and Megan. It was a brilliant project and to see the old fellas tears of emotion was great.. 🇬🇧🇭🇲🇬🇧🇭🇲🇬🇧🇭🇲👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much for watching Bill!
This is awesome. Such a special gift for jacks dad. Well done guys

Such an amazing moment!!! Seeing your dad speechless was incredible. This means so much more when building for someone else. You two are so humble. Love your content. What a rig!! It looks so good. You will keep getting offers. These are awesome 4wd's.
A HUGE WELL DONE TO THE BOTH OF YOU!
You're so right! It was so much more rewarding seeing his reaction rather than just keeping it for ourselves ☺️ Thanks so much mate really appreciate the kind words 🙏
The significance in your video, is valued appreciation. You both showed great love. I know your father is very happy with how much you've both amplified that.

Was a big job and a lot of effort but definitely all worth it. the old man was stoked with it. 😊
when I was 14 years old, I saw one full of coffee beans going up in the hill, It looked like an old men walking so slow climbing the hill of course it was a Diesel FJ 45, I felt In love with the land cruiser. I'm 46 and just got the old guy we are working to put this guy in a good shape. The minute 12:00 took me down. You are an amazing son.
Cheers mate! The old diesel would have been pretty slow but would definitely get the job done!
Fantastic result Megan and Jack, The truck looks as good as Megan and The reaction from your dad was priceless, it's a terrific pleasure to see his reaction. May that truck stay in the family for a long time, Cheers.
Another unbelievable job guys. Your Dads smile was gold. The rig looks amazing. Keep inspiring us all.

Was a great day!
Wow wow wow! you guys did it with love, i got my tears dropped when i saw your Dad cried. he must be proud...
Congratulations for the hard work!
Thanks mate 😊
Team huge congrats! Not sure how to put this...time with my daughter is super special, but man hugs with my son when something comes together after hard work and agro between us is so special. It was clear that you guys were flying blind on most if this, but your commitment overcame all and the result is fabulous.....maintain the respect and passion you have for each other an the world is yours. Love it!
100% was such a special moment for all 3 of us, one we’ll remember forever! Thanks so much for the kind words mate, really appreciate it.
Wow absolutely incredible. Such a touching moment when the Oldman seen it he was speechless… incredible work guys!
Thanks so much mate!
That's awesome!! Dad's emotional reaction made all the hours worth it, I'm sure
100% worth it! He loves it more that we ever expected 🥰
A wonderful restoration. Although it was for your dad, more important is the fact that you have preserved a part of motoring history. So many people have fond memories of these vehicles. A pity Toyota doesn't make them again. I'm sure there would be plenty of buyers!
Thanks so much for watching Greg! 100% agree, has been so good to hear from people how many sentimental memories the FJ has for them 🙌🏼
@@itsJackandMegan I had a Daihatsu Scat many years ago (shame you can't get one of those now), but I remember a number of people in the 4WD club I was in had a 40s series. Tough as old boots and went everywhere!! Would love to find one when I retire.
This was such a cool series to watch.The lighting was bad at times, the editing was not perfect but this definately ranks quite highly as am amateur build,this is how You Tube started,well done for keeping your eye on the build.Three months for an amateur build, congratulations .Dad is over the moon.Ranks with my other You Tube amateur fideos,Pestilence and Sailing Bubbles
A work of art! Good job guys. Your Dad will be proud and eternally grateful 👏👏👏

Beautiful fj and a beautiful moment surprising your dad.... Then extremely cruel to take it away from him 😂
Thanks Daniel! 😂😂
Oooh this made me cry (a happy emotional cry). Well done xxxx
Thanks so much Robyn! We still tear up watching this one 🥲
It was a touching video to watch what you guys did for Jack’s dad. However, I thought the video should include the hug that Megan gets also as this project was by both of you right? Never take things for granted Jack, you got to make up for it to Megan. Haha! Like cooking for her for a day!
Your right mate I’m very grateful for everything that we where able to do. Megan got an even bigger hug of camera also we just didn’t have the cameras rolling unfortunately. Was a great day! Thanks for watching 😊👍
Good Son and very loving father. 💝
Hi Megan and Jack. Wow, I am so jealous ! I owned an FJ40 shorty in the mid 1970s and would kill for a replacement. You have done a magnificent job and I wish you both safe travels.
Thanks so much Rob! Has been so good to hear how many people have fond memories of the FJ, it really is a special truck!
Absolutely beautiful gesture Jack and Megan. Dad is so touched. Brought tears to my eyes. ❤😪❤🇦🇺🦘
Thanks Gail was an amazing day 😊
