WE SPENT 4 DAYS LIVING FROM 5 000 BUDGET 4WDS

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait, wait! Wait, wait, wait! On, on three. One! Stop getting air fresheners! Music This is a serious leak! Alright, let's go guys, welcome to the very first ever Budget Build Challenge. Brought to you by Outback Equipment. We've got a couple of teams along in this one. We've got Sammy and Mitch in the Big Bad Delica. Berky's back. The nubby in the trusty Land Rover. We've got the girls in the dirty Datsun. Bree and Bridget, and then down the end the Big Bad Jeep. We've got Marker and TJ. This has been a crazy four days. We've got one challenge to go, but if you want to see it from the start, let's go, stay tuned. Alright guys, here we go. The very first ever Budget Build Challenge. To say this is exciting is a little bit of an understatement. We've brought a special guest in for this one. He's back. I'm back, here I am guys. Let's go, the big man Berky's back. If you've just joined us, he was OG Explore. He's disappeared for a couple years. I had a break. He had a kid, let's be honest, but he's had a good time. He's back for this one. So look guys, all good Budget Build Challenges start out the front of a super cheap auto. Last minute supplies and fixing stuff. We've got here a little bit early this morning, and then there's three other cars rocking up. You would have seen a little bit of social media. You should have seen the build video on the big girl behind us. If you haven't checked out the build video guys, make sure you go check out Red Dirt Diaries, TJ Jacks, Sam Wiles, and then the previous video on our channel. Have a look at all the build videos first, and then come in, sit down, and enjoy the ride because we've got four epic episodes coming. One on every channel guys. We've got a series of challenges. We're going to tally up all the points from all the challenges and there's going to be a winner. Now the best part about the winner is he's going to win about $5,000. So we are. So we're going to win about $5,000 and the money is all going to charity which is absolutely awesome. There's a couple of cars that should be coming very shortly. I think they're hidden around the corner. I'm going to jump on the two-way. We'll call them around and let's check out these other Budget Builds. Are you excited? I am so excited. I can't wait to see what they've all got. There's nothing on ours, but I'm sure there's a couple that aren't too shabby. Can't beat it. Alright guys, let's call them around. Alright, so the girls are coming around. We actually have no idea what they've got. I don't know. Have they got two cars? I don't know what's going on with the girls. They've had some serious, serious drama. You'll have to check out their build video for that. One of the girls may or may not. I don't know. I don't know whether they've got one car, two cars, no cars. I don't know. Then they had two cars, then they sold a car, then they got another car. It's a little bit confusing, but we're actually no idea. Let's see what comes around this corner. Any guesses? I don't know. Brie is a die-hard Nissan fan. Bridget's a Toyota fan, but you're not allowed any Toyotas. One car looks huge and one car looks small, so we'll find out. I really don't know. Ah, it's a dirty, filthy Nissan. It is a Nissan. Yeah, the girls! That's actually pretty cool. That's sick. I've never even really seen one of these on the tracks. Have a look at that. How did we know it was going to be a dirty Nissan? I had to stay on brand, mate. I've got a TD. Oh, how good. Pull her in. I think we've got the next car coming around the corner. What a beast. I actually like it. I really want to see this off-road. It looks like it's already been off-road. It looks like it's already been off-road. Have you girls been testing it out before you got here? Yeah, this morning. A quick test run before we brought it in here. A quick wheel? Yeah, a quick wheel. Alright, next car through is TJ and Mark. Any guesses? I'd be pretty crazy, yeah. Lots of noise. Yeah, if Mark's had anything to do with the build, it's probably going to be nine inches tall. You're joking! Hang on. Oh my god. Oh yeah, boys! Hello, matey. You all kidding? Oh my god. How's she sound? Pull in. Sammy's just coming around the corner. I don't think he's going to beat the ridiculousness of this one, but you never know with Sammy. Let's find out. He'll pull something out of the hut for sure. What do you mean, budge? This is ridiculous build. Did everyone else just have five grand? Did they have like, did they get 35 grand? That thing is clean ass. Are you joking? We've got issues. That's a great start when you pull into the car, Mark. We've got issues. I think they're going to have to buy flares while they're in there. Yeah. Should we go to Bunnings next and get some garden edging? Yeah. Alright, there's one last car to come. There's always going to be a toss up. Whose was more ridiculous? Your guys or Sammy's? But, any guesses? Sam. Definitely Sam. No way that's in the budget! Oh, what is going on here? How's the cam on it? No way you're going to delete her on budget. Oh, yes we did. It could be more rusty than you think. Oh, sunroof and everything. How's the Staino? Yep, sounds plastic. What the hell did you guys get? I see a trend. These look all a little bit too sensible. I don't know. Hang on. What is this? You're talking about my budget? Dude, this is gnarly. And that's a V8? Yeah. Whose is that? Shedlife all over it. That's the boys. What did you get? This one? Nah, so the girls are in the dirty Nissan. Me and Berks are in the Rover. Diesel? No mate, V8 petrol. You're joking. I wanted a V8. She's good enough for us. We've got two V8s. And what's this? Diesel or petrol? Diesel. Alright guys, we've actually got one more surprise for the budget. We told you you weren't allowed to bring any camping gear or anything to cook your meals on. Super cheap. I've actually come to the party. We've got a couple of vouchers, so last minute before any camping trip, we're going to run into super cheap. We've got $500 each to spend. You can spend it on air fresheners, you can spend it on camping chairs, you can spend it on whatever you want. We're on. Now, the best part is we're going to put a time limit on this, I reckon. 10 minutes. 10 minutes. Nah, I guess not. 10 minutes. Nah. 10 minutes to the checkout, not including beep, beep, beep. That'll take half an hour. 10 minutes to the checkout. So we'll start the clock. I'm just going to buy all the barbecues, so use it for sh**. I'm going to chair, I don't want to sit on the ground. Well, that means you're cooking. 10 minutes, $500, let's get stuck in. 10 minutes to do it, mate. This is what I'm good at, spending money. Alright, so we've got $500, 10 minutes to spend it. What do you reckon we need? Alright guys, we're going to need gas cooker bottles, pans, plates, cutlery, chairs, tables, head torches, shovel, compressor, deflator. Okay, there's a bit to get. Let's go. We seriously need a barbecue, because we don't have one. And we need a camp chair each, otherwise it's going to be awfully cold sitting on the ground. Woah, woah, woah. Wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait. On three. Alright, alright. One. Go, Birky. Stop getting air fresheners. I need more barbecues. Birky. Where are you getting? Where's the camping gear? Head torches. Get out of our way. Plate and barbecue. Yes, that's it, get it. Yes, there's only one left. And they're gone. Grab some good chairs. Forty-four bucks. We want these ones. No. Yes, there's only two left. No. Shovel. Deflator. It's up there in the budget, mate. Wait, that one. Here we go, little one. That's us. Three by three, that's the one. This is us. $17 each. We do need some ratchet straps. Oh, a tarp. Grab that one. Twenty bucks. Air freshener, air freshener. I got air freshener. Black ice, black ice. Alright, let's go. Alright, we got it. Alright, let's see how much we're up to. Yeah, can you tell us what we're up to for class? Oh, we got more money! Deflator we got. All we need. Super glue we got. We just need a compressor. And we need a roll of electrical tape. Hopefully we have budget. Dude, we got budget, we got budget. Max, shockingly, calm. What do you reckon? We'll update the girls' car from a four-cylinder to a V8. Righto. Let's get some stickers and put them on everyone's car. Band-Aids? Oh, look at that. Twenty bucks. No, no budget. We need a little bit of a price check. We're not sure how much money we got left. Are you a club member? Because the price could come down a little bit if you're a club member. I'm a trade member, actually. Oh, look at that. So we've quickly found out it's the Deleaky Deleaker, because she leaks everywhere. Oh, here. Oh, sweet. That's fine, we'll get it. It's essential. We woke up this morning and it was dry on the dipstick. Like, no oil in it. Alright, we got 89 bucks left. I've sent Berkey back in. I'm a little bit scared with what he's gonna get. But we got about three minutes left. We haven't got lights. We haven't got camp lights. Or lanterns. With USB charger. Okay, that one. We're gonna add that one. $4.67. $6.67. Grab some Starby Coolers. Any good sunnies or hats? Why don't we go set up aviators each? There we go. Fabulous breakfast, mate. The boys are paying for it. The essentials, but make the other sims pay for it. Make it super. Thank you. Quick math, we were gonna go downgrade to the single burner, and we can get it. But I don't think we need a compressor. There's servos everywhere. If we need one, I'll just steal theirs. Just secretly. $50 bucks left. What else do we need that's essential? We're gonna have so much energy. One of them. Keep us going. $2.80 left. We'll use it up. Done. Should we just start yelling time is over to scare everyone? Yep, that's the ten minutes going in! That's time! $4.97. $4.66. $4.97. Mars bar. $4.99. Boom! Don't leave your trolley line around that. Go, go, go! What can we steal? Steal their knife and fork kit. Wiring out. You know where our spotties were? You can pinch the wire from that. Oh, it's electric. Hi! Lovely. It's gonna wake everyone up every morning. My hat. My sunnies. Thanks, ladies. And I reckon this has been done to this car in how many years, Bree? A long time. Legend plates. Certified. What you do is you take the cap off, put a stone in there, put the cap back on, it's gotta slowly... That's not a good idea. Oi, we got air horns. We did buy most of the things we need. Air compressor, got oil, cooker, cutlery, some, like, cable ties and tape. Where's the oil? The oil's in the front. Otherwise we just got stickers and Red Bull. And a shovel. Everything that you need for a good time. Table, chairs, air freshener, Bluetooth, so that we can listen to music in our really old car. Straps, chairs, the full cooking gear. I feel like we probably got the most out of everyone. We're set to go. Did you put stuff on our account? Yep. Berky, they stitched us up! I knew that was gonna happen. When you walked away, we passed her a s*** and they just gave it back to us and put it on your account. That's not on, eh? It's actually crazy what you can get for 500 bucks. So 5 grand, 500 bucks. I'd happily take this thing to Cape York. Let's go! We're set. Alright, well that's the little super cheap challenge done. Well done everyone. I'm pretty sure me and Berky won. Next challenge, we're gonna go from here straight to a servo somewhere. Everyone's gotta fill their car up and then we're gonna stop at a servo on the way down and we'll do an economy test. Make sure everybody puts the right fuel in their car. Shout out to Soup Keep legends. Let's go guys. Hopefully we make it to the next stop. If you wanna win the Ultimate Rooftop Tent and Awning Setup we're currently giving it away on the online store so you guys can get out and enjoy the explore life. We've got the Bush Company 270 XT Maxx Awning along with the AX27, the big dog of the Bush Company range. I've been running these products on my truck for the last year, year and a half. It is the ultimate setup for your four wheel drive. All you gotta do, grab any item off the explore life. Store, hat, sticker, stubby cooler, shirt, whatever it is. Every single item's an entry guys. If you wanna get in, get in this month. We pick the winner at the end of the month. Good luck. Alright, there we are. We're fully loaded. Got all the gear I think that we need. We can sleep. We've got camping, comfortable. We've got food. We've got cookers. All good to go. And now, economy test which we may be in for a chance here. We would definitely be in. Two V8s would be f***ed. It's just me and the girls. We'll see what happens. We don't have to count our oil we consume. No. Every time we stop at the servo it's fill the oil and top up the fuel. We're at the servo. I am going to fill the fuel. Bree's gonna fill it up so that we don't make any bloody mistakes here at this crucial moment. Test one, fuel economy. I'll lose this one. Premium. Is that meant to happen? That's not meant to happen. I think she's fooled. That's when it's fooled. So because I love you and now you owe me one. Sam put a rock in your valve. Your tyre is going flat. No. I don't want you to get death wobbles and die. We're at about ten pound. Ten pound already for highway driving. Yeah. Perfect. Start with a bit of a plan. Those are the V8s. We're not gonna win but we're gonna completely f*** them. We're gonna do some highway racing. We'll get up the side do the old chop chop. Three, two, one. There goes the line. Marco, let me hear that thing. Give us all it's got. And we'll just sit there and you know economy and they'll just chew through all our fuel. Well that's the plan anyway. We've got this challenge in the bag. Turbo D. I reckon. I reckon. We got it in the bag. Alright team. Me and Berky sat up here. We got the reclining chairs. Comfy as hell. How's everyone travelling? What is that noise? It's our light button. I can hear it through the UHF. Oh my god. How's the rest of you? Yeah, it feels funny to get a bit of a headache from their light button to be honest. I think they're struggling to keep up with the way we go. Yeah mate, the Armageddon bus. Picking up the rear. We don't want to go much over 100 either. It's windy over this way. But the exhaust is very loud. We've got smooth sailing. Sky is blue. Sun is out. We'll see on the beach over. Has anyone's fuel gauge moved yet? Yeah, it moved as we drove out on the f***ing servo. Cars are still on full. Alright guys, we've just pulled up at a servo. We're down about 120km. We've got the odometer. Everyone's going to run around fill up their cars and we'll see who's got the worst fuel economy. Ours is just a lounge chair. Ours is definitely not. Except if you hit a big enough bump the rear just smashes on the tyres and just smell burning rubber. Just going to run off who's put the most amount of fuel in. We'll go around in a circle. What have you got? 15. Was it 14.3? 14.3 I think. 14.34. 19.6. What did you get? 23 litres. Does that mean we win? No, we lose. You lost your iron challenge. Alright, so that means one point to Sam. Two points. Three points. We got four on the start. Wait, wait, wait. Yeah, we get the most points for winning. Nah, nah. It's like playing golf. So whoever's got the least amount of points at the end of the weekend wins. Is this the right way to do it though? Yeah. Alright, so we're going to go and try and find a campsite. We're going to pull up for the afternoon, kick back. We're going to set all the cars up, see everyone's touring set up. That'll be our second points challenge. To see everyone's camping set ups and we're going to have to vote on who thinks the best set up is. And yeah, kick back, enjoy a few beers and just enjoy it tonight. Hello, Berk. He's been whinging so time for a quick little lunch stop at Woodburn on the river. Somehow we ended up on the old highway following the girls. Not going to say anything. And Sam ended up on the big highway. You know what? At least we're not doing U-turns. We're still heading in the right direction. Well, we were going to get some takeaway and Mac seen a pub. Bridget's seen a pub. What happened? Pub time? Yeah. This is what any Forbes is about. Finding a great pub with a good feed. Cheers, Big E's. So I bet you probably just enjoyed a beautiful sequence at the pub, you know, having some food. But there was something missing. Me and Mitch because we're on the side of a f***ing highway. They left us for dead, eh? So we've decided to get our own beers and our own kebabs. Look at that, the little cook up. And we'll see them coming down the road and give them a finger and disappear. We were literally like 10 minutes in front and then they're like half an hour later, they're like oh yeah, we decided to stop in town at a pub and by that point we were like 40 minutes down the highway. So, thanks for the heads up, eh boys? We'll see you at the campsite. It's us, buddy. It's almost 3 o'clock. We've been here for literally an hour, hour and a half. We're on, let's go. Well, we made it. Macca's on the Maccas. Berkey's on Macca. Is it weird that I'm tasting a Macca? Is it weird? How does Macca taste? Not that thirsty anymore, actually. Time to get the campsite set up and we'll have to walk around and check out everyone's seats. Do we want to know why the bonnet's up? No, I don't. Is there any reason? It's cold. So there's no water in the oil, so it means it's not a head gasket. The A2 sensor's cool, so it's just over fueling. Now we've taken the mufflers out, the smoke's not getting caught by it. And we still lost the fuel challenge. We got the awning out. It's honestly been five years maybe since I set an awning like this up. The girls are currently struggling with theirs as well, but we've got a couple of swags to throw out. Then we'll do a little walk around and check out everyone else's, but in the meantime let's laugh at the girls. Let her go, see if it works. $40 marketplace. The world's mouldiest awning. Right, so if you watched our build episode on this car on my channel, you'll know we have a special surprise on the roof of this thing. Me and Mitch have just spun around the corner to set it up and we're about to go and reveal it to everyone. It's the rooftop bar. VIP only. Let's see their reaction. I think we've got to take out this camping setup for sure. I can't believe it. That's sick. It's terribly simple but effective. We've got bunk beds and where do we find that? Marketplace, $60 and they even threw in this free table. So they threw in the table this was all part of our budget. We were pretty smart with the super cheap thing. Before we went in we wrote a list. So we could basically work out what exactly we needed and we have pretty much everything. What don't we have? We don't even have tongs. We don't have utensils. Other than knives and forks, that's all we've got. But that's fine. We've got this amazing door. Massive sliding door. And we decided to put fat wheels on the back and it actually hits and the door opens that much. But that's okay. We've got our fridge which also doesn't work. It's been working for years and I plugged it in and it doesn't work Now it's on emergency override. You put it on emergency override and it's basically full fridge and then we just have to gauge the temperature with how cold the beers feel. Welcome to the little budget set up out the back of the disco. Give you a quick little walk through here I'm just cooking me clothes. I'm heating them up. Finished undressing. We've got a little cooking bench slash bar on the back. That's just storage. That's where you stand. Look at that. Bang them up there. First facility. Another light behind Bergie's head so we've got the full lit up kitchen. New cooker. Couple little camp chairs. We've got the awning outside here. And a couple of swags. And people have fancy sliding our kitchens and pantries. We've got baskets with our pantry. For our set up we didn't need the slide out. And the fridge too. Let's show the fridge. Basically fridge equals beer. Beer. You need a cooler. So over here we've got a cooler holder. Cooler dispenser. Can I have a cooler book? Baker just hooked this up the other day. It's a bloody genius. I actually love it. You just grab it there. There you go buddy. Grab one for yourself. And that's it. Easy as that. Unlucky screw through the wheel well to get it in there though. Sneaking around the back. A little cheap washing up tub. 20 litre jerry in there. Plumbed water. That's all you need guys. Cooking. Plumbed water. Lighting. Fridge. Done. I'm not going to pretend it's the best but I mean it's practical. It's simple. It works. So we've got the bed. We've got a 150ml Posturepedic mattress. With a slight incline which actually promotes better sleep. The incline helps and promotes better and healthier sleep. Also gives you a sore neck by the morning. Yeah. We've researched. Moving on to the back we have more mattress. Some baggage storage. So basically we stack everything during the day and then underneath the car at night so it stays dry. And the fridge is out of the car but full. Can we just look at where it's powered? It's powered from a really high tech 12v system. We've got the go block. AKA the red arc go block. And the go block is plugged straight into the 12v socket in the back of the jeep. One person in the car and one in the swag will swap each night to make it fair. A chair each, a table, cooker and the gazebo for the common area. And look how many animals it has attracted. Everywhere. So I'm not going to pretend it's the best but It's like the main watering hole. So it's the best. Everyone conjures here which means it must be the best. We went pretty well. We did our research before going to Supercheap Auto. Making sure we got all the things that we needed like a table, cooker, utensils. Everything we need including a jerry for water. Yes, and lighting. Lighting, yes. We haven't lit in there. It's not on yet. So yeah, we pretty much smashed out the Supercheap thing. We even got chairs as well. Because we pretty much made the car to live out of so we didn't actually need much sleeping and camping gear like that from Supercheap. And just to highlight, our set up took we were set up and sitting down within two minutes. Everyone else is still setting up so putting it out. So we've got our swing arm with our water that's got a tap to it so that we can pour water whenever we want. We've got our bed. We both sleep in here. It's raised. We've got our compartments so our food is here. Kitchen supplies. Our table pulls out. Towels on the side and more clothing bags with our dual battery. There's 12 volt that runs to under here as well so we're charging our phones, cameras and the fridge. But we're organized. We've taken the female approach of being organized being easy, sufficient and effortless. So it sleeps for a double so a couple can be in there and there's like a headboard so that your pillows can't fall over. And we've got the sunroof we can crack. Yes and the sunroof that we can crack so we get the fresh air and if it rains not a problem and if someone tries to lock us in the back which I promise will happen with these people we can just climb over the front and get out. Alright well we've done the math. Sam Wiles takes the win. With Mitchie. We put a lot of work and money into that. Number two. There's a heavy debate for number two. Alright the girls take second. The disco gets third and the big old jeep she comes in fourth. I put so much work and effort into that. Yeah look a little bit unhappy with that decision just quietly. Because they can't even sit up in their bed. It's a single bed with two people. So I'm sleeping in the back of the car because I forgot all my swag You could stand up in that. I feel like bringing a swag is way less effort than putting a bed in a car. No it's not. We could put a mattress inside. I can pull the mattress out and put it in. Are you going to give me a phone? Yeah but it's not flat. You haven't built anything in there. The floor is flat. Anyways a bit of a debate but they're the boats. Time to go back. Time to cook a feed and kick back and enjoy a few beers. That was actually surprisingly good. Better than my swag. Happy and also cold. Comfy. Just couldn't get out in the morning. We both had crazy dreams and we think we're slightly downhill and the brain has extra blood. Sounds like it. It was tight it was warm, we didn't even shut the back door and it was meh. Bergie! Get the billy on! Alright so look it's no coffee machine but we're going to smack a couple of these in this cafe. Little satchels this morning. Bergie's got the bacon and eggs on the go. The girls are still in bed shock. We'll have a quick little feed. This looks like the same camp set up I had when I was 18. It's just **** everywhere. It's got things sprawled halfway across the campsite. We'll have a bit of a feed and then we're going to get on the road because we've got a couple of pretty cool challenges coming up today. Tell you more about that very shortly. Bacon and eggs for breakfast. Happy days. Can't we have a breakfast bar mate? Bar's closed. Lockout was 8am mate. Alright guys well there we go. That is episode one of the Budget Build Challenge done and dusted. What a hell day. We just woke up at Red Cliff Beaches. What's the plan today mate? Where are we going? Today, my challenge, straight to the beach. Highway pressure. Highway pressure. Soft sand. He's got a couple of other challenges and then we're actually off to a place called Rover Park where it's probably going to start getting really wild. So that's the end of this ep guys. If you want to check out the next episode, no mucking around. Tomorrow night, get over to TJ Jack's channel. The link is in the description. Four nights in a row.
