Australia
Приєднався 28 лип 2014
Gidday... we're Karstan and Max 👋🏻 an Aussie couple (now parents) who have been travelling together since 2008.
We live life differently to most - and now that we’ve got two young girls we are more determined than we have ever been to see and experience all that this world has to offer.
You’ll mostly find us heading off the beaten track, exploring remote places and pushing the limits.
We’ve travelled in Kombis since 2009, but recently decided to up the ante with an Australian built expedition truck! AN OKA. And the dream is to take it all over Australia and the world.
We’re big believers in putting ourselves out there and giving everything a go, cause why not?
With a positive ‘can do attitude’ approach to life, we’re always eager to do things that most could only dream about and hopefully inspire others to do the same.
We look forward to taking you on our adventures with us!!
Cheers,
Karstan and Max + Zu & Ze

OKA TRUCK BUILD SERIES EP2 - Custom Bed Fabrication, Actuator Install & Internal Design
In this episode we make some real exciting progress.. we visit a number of suppliers, fit our actuators (something we've never done before). Witness some really cool 360 design technology to support our internal design and show the process of our custom bed fabrication. There's so much happening and a lot of pressure to get it done. Thanks so much for your support so far, we hope you're enjoying watching us build our dream home on wheels.
Cheers,
Karstan, Max, Zu and Ze

Glad you got registered. That should be written off as business expense or something.
I love it guys, do your kombi have original engine?
Hello guys, watching from Kenya.well come
You guys are my reference when it comes to: you don’t need super fancy things to go out there and enjoy your own country. I’m back home (Brazil) and will start soon a trip around. Cheers guys. Keep it on 🤙
The old antage measure twice cut once, loved the inclusion of lazer precision 😎👍
It is a one off a kind build bloody exciting
The best thing i like about australia is the right hand steering wheel...
Love watching your journey! Wow I was with you Karsten on stamp duty. But then I have only ever bought a registered car. Holy Moly!
What a big difference after the, VW. Looking forward to seeing the finish results, and you all back on the road ,of travel and memories. Top job Karstan Family 👍😁
Loving this series!! Where will baby Ze sleep?
She will cosleep with us 😊
For the kitchen, you totally have to google "gmg trek 2.0 ".
What an experience with this build.
Learning lots as we go!!
lol you don’t know but you know … because Max is just a talented bugger. How amazing is the 3d stuff Wowzers. It’s coming together xxxx
Love the song
Awesome beat to it 👏🏻🎵
@KarstanAndMaxine just gives a sense of energy, to push your self
Looking good people. Bring it on. Green for go.
Thanks mate!!!
❤❤❤
The Kombi was unstoppable can only imagine where this will take you. Keep living the Dream…
This is going to take everything to the next level! We can’t wait 🤙🏻
Stamp duty is a tax I hate you get nothing for it
Great to see you guys all working together and excited 😅
Haha yeah if only all of us were productive with the truck 😜
Goodness me! . . . I am so envious of you both & look at those absolute gorgeous babies you have created xxx
They are awesome girls!!! Full of life
@KarstanAndMaxine That is exactly how they should be . . . All we need are the simple things in life and to feel loved. Bless you both for giving them that xxx
Looks so amazing
👍🏻😄 thanks
Absolutely love that comment, well done, keep chasing the dream.
Thank you! Will do! ❤️😄
😴😴😴😴
And the world is yours. Love your work guys
Thanks mate
👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
🤙🏻🌏😄
Is it possible to ask Oka for this information, I emailed them but no reply. I would like to know if they make a left hand drive one? And if it is possible to import it to the States? Thank you for the inspiration.
Anything is possible .. it will just cost $$$
Dean is currently over seas .. he will get black to you for sure when his back
So excited your dreams are coming true! Your hard work is amazing and I love seeing your babies grow 😊❤
Thanks for the words of motivation and for following along!!!
Awesome return guys and just frothing with the choice of vehicle and the detail you’re going to to finish. WOW look at how big the munchkin has grown from series 1 in the Kombi! - Looking forward to seeing more!
So much going on atm, lots to look forward to - can’t wait to get the girls on the road 😍
Loving the build series! Great job so far! 🎉😃
So good to hear!! Thanks for watching 😍🎥
Absolutely brilliant guys? I’m so happy for you all, the hard work and money will pay off! I am really excited for you all , sending you all my loves, hugs and kisses❤ ps. you guys are still my favourites😂
👋🏻🤠🇫🇮
Heyyyyy 👋🏻😄
@@KarstanAndMaxine Always pleasure to watch your goings
This is the second time I have watched this one. It epitomises that getting somewhere IS the adventure. You just don't burn the same memories from air conditioned comfort and sealed highways.
This was such an epic adventure! And 100% agree with you….🤙🏻
I missed this channel so much!
It’s so good to be back!!!!
😊 love that your back, interesting watching your build progress 😊
Fantastic job, cannot wait to see the finished article. Karstan you are an amazing tradesman, Maxine you are an amazing partner and you both have an amazing family ❤❤
Such a nice message - thank you :)
Karstan you are so bloody clever mate. I’m loving this series. ❤🚙🤙🏻
so good to hear - glad you're enjoying it!
Chicken nuggets
Where did you get the actuators from
Firgelli - Linear Bullet Actuators :)
So loving Zuri’s excitement xx
Sick vehicle!!!! Love it!!!!! I own an 86 Pinzgauer 712M, very similar platform
He didn't nail that bed! He welded it! Instead of 2 seats behind the driver's seat, & 1 seat behind the passenger seat. I would have made 4 seats behind the driver's seat. 2 facing backward & 2 facing forward (facing each other) with a fold out table that would double as seats for the kids & a four seat diner (eliminating the dinette at the back) Behind the passenger seat a bigger fridge/freezer & pantry. Behimd the door on the passenger side would be the sink/stove/ovem & more cupboards. This would leave a nice size shower/toilet room on the driver side behind the seats/diner. Just my thoughts. Happy trails, Cowpokes
I'm so excited for you both 👍👏💕 the OKA is going to look amazing 👏
can't wait for it to be done :)
The 3D scanning will help you be so accurate...rather than measuring 3 times and cut, bit more accurate.
awesome technology!!!
Good job guys. Fantastic vehicle/home . The kids do steal some of the limelight from Oka! Will the baby have a little mirror to look in to see what is happening up the front? Love you, keep it coming!
The girls love the OKA - excited for it to be their home!
@@KarstanAndMaxine Lucky kids to have such wonderful parents.
“Did ya draw that with your mouth mate” hahahahahahahahaha
hahaha
Can the double bed fold in half and sit at 90 degrees when not in use ?
Great stuff really good to see the Oka transformation
thanks for watching mate
Blimey... $14k stamp duty, that would make the cost of the vehicle around $240k wouldn't it?
Look forward to watching everything OKA, I have had a soft spot for them from the get go and it's good to see them re-birthed. You are brave young family and I wish you all the best. As another commenter suggests be carful with your weight, steel and heavy ply soon add up to lost capacity to carry other essentials, also have you thought about insulation? 😃
