I am a 4wd enthusiast that luvs to get out 4wding and camping in my Fortuner Crusade My current passion is my Toyota Fortuner Crusade. In 2024 I purchased my first caravan, a Crusader Chameleon Liberty SV (off road model) @NeilF4x4Crusading
Wow you covered a lot of ks on that run, really liked the map great idea, as usual a great video informative and interesting. Happy Travels to you and your friends. Looking forward to next video.🤗🤗
Great video again, the tide was out haha , magpies were having fun nice fire just add petrol that will heat you up 💥💥. Happy Travels to you and your friends. 🤗👍
Another great video mate, hope you are enjoying it out there and how is the caravan going, the 12v system going good?. An update of your toyota would be nice ks your getting towing ect. Happy Travels to you and your friends. 🤗🤗
Fantastic. That's where I thought I'd put mine. I've ordered the DRS, and it's on its way. 👏👏👏 I've been Googling for a vent that would fit that space without much luck. I might have to put in 3 or 4 smaller round ones 🤔❓️❓️
@NeilF4x4Crusading I have the light on and the car has so little power it's undrivable. I have cleaned the dpf off the car but can't get any values from the dpf from torque. Will it regen sat running with the warm up button depressed?
Another great video mate lots of information lovely views, for sum reason watching your videos makes me very calm and relaxed (strange). Happy Travels to you and your friends.🤗🤗👍
Great video again mate, lots of information and that tree top walk wow, that camp you stayed at with the rain coming down looked great. Happy Travels to you and your friends. 🤗🤗👍
Another great video mate that whaling station and ship were really interesting, looking forward to your next video. Happy Travels to you and your friends.🤗👍
Great video again mate love the speeded up bits, fastest caravan tow in the west hahaha 😂😂 looking forward to the next instalment. Happy Travels to you and your friends.
Been all good since I cleaned the hose and pipe with alcohol, then used loctite 222 and new clamps, holding up to 16psi boost and hasn't come off so I'm happy
I sure did have an 80 series, it was twin locked, 35" tyres, big lift, awesome vehicle The Fortuner is a totally different car, the difference is chalk and cheese The 80 series almost would go anywhere, with my setup it was a great rock crawler but bit of a handfull on the road and very thirsty on fuel (manual gearbox & 4500 petrol motor) The Fortuner does pretty good off road, it is twin locked but doesn't have the big tyres or ground clearance of the 80 series On road the Fortuner is a pleasure to drive, so much smoother and quieter, and the torque of the diesel is amazing (I have had a tune, see vid #0054)
Good posts on youtube, (Touring Western Australia: Kalgoorlie, Bromus Dam, Lake King, Ravensthorpe) keep them going. I was interested in what you posted regarding the issue with not getting the right amount of charge from the redarc, did you resolve the issue? I am just about to sign off the plans for a Gladiator and having the Redarc 50amp installed as well. Cheers
From what I've worked out the 50amp redarc charger is a stand alone charger and does NOT go through the BMPRO system (that's how crusader wired mine). So this means the BMPRO doesn't know the redarc is charging the batteries so in my opinion the BMPRO battery display cannot ever be correct. When I plugged the car in it did not even show up on the BMPRO display, maybe check this before you drive away as there is no way to know if the car is charging (unless you can find where they hide the redarc and check if the charging light is on) In the end I took out the BMPRO shunt and installed a Victron shunt and wired everything including the redarc charger through the shunt, now i can see the redarc charging and I can see the actual battery soc. Not sure how I will go if I have any warranty issues but for now I'm happy with how it's working. Hope this helps you
Wire the redarc directly to the batteries it monitors the charge itself, put a redarc solenoid on the charge cable so it disconnects from the vehicle battery so it won't discharge it. Good luck and Happy travels 😊
There are a lot of variables so unfortunately I can't give you a definitive answer. Suggest you check the towing capacity of the ford and also check tow ball weight allowance, rear axle loading, cars GVM and overall GCM are just a few of the things to check and watch out for.
Hey Neil, after all this time with the rhino sx legs, you still like it, or at any point thought the backbone would have been better specially with a tent? About to pull the trigger so Thanks!
Sorry I don't know much about the Kia. If it has a dpf and it regenerates like Toyota the easiest way to know when it's happening is to monitor your fuel economy as you are driving, during a regeneration a Toyota will use a lot more and this can be seen in the real time fuel economy display.
Good pickup I got a plastic adaptor from Amazon that the dish keg clicks into Then I got a stainless steel table leg from Bunnings, about $8, and the adaptor fitted in perfectly Then I pop riveted the adaptor into the table leg, then pop riveted the table leg onto the bull float pole Quick spray with some black plastic dip
So far it's holding Used a nail file to rough up the plastic tube a bit, then used alcohol to clean pipe and tube, and used loctite 222 on the pipe with 2 x std hose clamps on each end, so far it's holding 🤞
In a word no After many attempts I think it is finally fixed I used a nail file to rough up the plastic pipe a bit, then used rubbing alcohol to clean pipe and hose, then used loctite 222 on it and used the std type hose clamps, double clamped of course and so far it's not come off
Fortuner std lock up is 4th, 5th and 6th But in std form it will unlock at the wiff of a hill, with the lock up kit it will stay locked up for a lot longer I have the Richards lock up kit, it has high and a low lock up In high it will lock up in 4th, 5th and 6th, i have mine set to lock at 80kph and unlock at 70kph In low lock it will lock up in 1st, 2nd and 3rd Other brands of cars can be different
Very interesting Neil. I have EGTB1S3 on a Scangauge on my Fortuner, and saw it go over 700 C when the DPF burn happened while doing some steep tracks a few days ago. The DPF burn noticeably knocks the fuel economy around too. Your trans temps are impressive with the lockup kit. I don't intend to tow so probably won't do cooler or lockup kit. The maximum Trans temp at the torque converter was on a warm day and a steep climb when it got to the low 90s. A question about your tyres, have you changed back from the muddies to ATs for caravan touring?
Torque app - custom Burn PID Hold finger on screen where you want the new display until the menu pops up Select add display Select "push button" display Select size of display Select type of button Select send OBD2 command Move to location on screen Hold finger on PID Select display configuration Change title to BURN PID: 2138 Unit: %+ V max, min: 100, 0 (J*2) Remember never to burn unless up around 90%
My mate has a hydraulic one but he is not game to leave weight on it in case it "sinks", that's one reason I went with black jack, plus I can leave it on, some of the other brands you have to remove unit when travelling
