Hello. I'm in the process of planning a refresh on the same truck except mine is in a lot worst shape then yours. Anyways I'm wondering what are those body lift jacks called (3:04)? Perhaps you can send me a link to where you purchased them. Ty.
Hi , im glad your putting in the effort to get another middy healthy again , it will be worth it in the end , I still smile like a idiot driving mine years after . The jacks in the photo are modified Ebay caravan leveling jacks, I initially modified them to suite lifting toolboxes off my Ute ( added height to bottom section and castors to let it roll , and decent square tube to carry load with gussets ) also made some mounts to catch the factory fuel tank bolting position at back and front I think some holes where the gaurds bolted too . Unfortunately with out a car lift you have to get crafty like me , it can be done . Just search caravan jacks in ebay and I think they are around $200 for 4
Cheers mate , lift is ,ome Dakar leafs , random shocks to get full travel . Tyres are 35x12.5r15 on some 15x10 -34 steelies . Highly recommend fitting lightest tyres possible as these old cruisers struggle with heavy rubber . I run dick cepek mud terrain .
Hi , cheers . I got very lucky and got mine from a very good friend that didn't use it . They are getting hard to find and getting pricey . Best chance is to join some landcruiser Facebook groups (BJ74 group and mid wheel base landcruiser group) As they are often advertised on there .
Hello , the sentence came out fine . It is very satisfying getting a older vechicle reliable and back on the road . Real pleasure to drive compared to new cars . Thank you for watching ! And thank you to Japan for making my favourite vechicles !
I dont like deep mud as well , but sometimes theres no choice to go around . This is why i didnt restore the paint becuase off road its only a matter of time before scratches happen .
Not sure if its is normal , but it sure is annoying . I gave up on the new hilux , use it to travel to work only . I bought a old landcruiser and it drives like a 4x4 should .
As I know (as an 2017 owner) you only can lock the rear diff in 4L mode, so this mode disables the traction control by itself. So it practically means when you lock the rear diff a-trac is not active. You only can use it in 4H. We can question that a big "WHY" ??? My opinion, to protect the drivetrain. In 4L engine is delivering enormous torque to the wheels and brake power might not come enough the slipping wheel.
Just magic mate. It’s my favourite vid of yours by far. Some cracking flying too. What wattage are pumping out of that VTX for those longer ranger flights?
When on jack stands it seems so . with the diff lock off i could hold one rear wheel and it would not lock the other . Other manufacturers allow atrac to work up front while rear is locked , not sure why toyota doesn't
my 4runner has ATRAC on all 4's but it doesn't have rear lock though. So i am assuming Toyota doesn't like to give all goodies together , it is either one or another
thank you for the kind words! i really enjoy the combo of 4wd and fpv , i wait all year for the 2 trips we generally do . The next trip im editing is from this years Melb cup weekend , best one so far i think , covering from the mitta mitta valley to mt pinnibar , Tom Groggin station and finally to snowy river Mckillops bridge . Lots of 4wd action and plenty of flying .
Kris S FPV oh shit yes. I’ll be looking forward to that one. If you can be arsed doing it, you should just a quick track list in the description. The bit where you came up to the flat bit where the four roads meet looked like west buffalo track at the helipad above the gatta
I have added another video if you would like to check it out . A bit less drone flying... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-31Q32vqmXNI.html
Stunning views! The ridge line from 10:00 can someone please tell me exactly where it is in High Country? as we'll be checking out this area in the next couple of days.
Kris S FPV Thanks very much. Unfortunately it requires low range 4WD according to Hema maps and we’re only in an AWD Volvo XC90. I might leave the car and head in there on my motorbike, though. Thanks.
I've seen Volvos going up Collingwood Spur track some years ago. Blue Rag track shouldn't trouble the XC90, since these days the track has been graded and flattened. Still steep, though, on the last pinch to the top.
