The world is a different place than it was ten, twenty or even thirty years ago. As a society, we are so buried in our personal electronics and pop culture that the rest of the world seems to pass us by in a blur. "If it's not in the media, it's not important enough to pay attention to." We hear all to commonly. What happened to getting out into Nature? Unplugging? Enjoying this beautiful world and spending time as a family? We're just as guilty.. As a family we found ourselves wrapped up in the same whirlwind of HGTV, Politics, the Voice, etc... Caught in our own anxiety ridden existence of worrying about how other people live their lives instead of focusing on our own. Longing for the days when life was simpler, we decided to unplug and get back into nature. These are the chronicles of our adventures and the lifestyle we have chosen. Showing that it still can be done and how wonderfully bliss it really is!!!
Great video. parts list shows 2005-2008 pitman arm. The one in the video looks different. It this correct to upgrade to gen 4, gen 3 pitman arm and gen 4 HD steering parts. Hope it right, orgered everything already lol
Thanks for this video. Could you do one on how the rifle cases are mounted on the side of the topper? Also curious what Overlanders store in them besides boom sticks?
Thanks for the video. Was wondering why couldn’t get pulley off the stud. Was hoping didn’t have to undo the long tensioner bolt completely. Thought would come off stud after loosening the front nut. Working on a 4Runner but take same pulley so learned from this video
If you really wanna see the stuff fly out of it, have a thirdhand and have that person push the needle valve where the propane attaches make sure they have gloves on because it’s gonna get all over their hands.
Great video !!! Question: you’ve have this on for a couple years . How has it performed over time, with overlanding ? Has it gotten loose or any failed tie rods?
I think you have a major hit on your hands for this video is concerned. Congratulations! Now, if you could only put out a tutorial titled "Understanding Women", you'd have a New York times bestseller 😅
Great video! And well done! While we're here, is anyone have any experience using the filter that can be purchased to go along with this unit? I purchased a filter and it works great except now it no longer allows the unit to light. I'm wondering if the filter has reached its useful in it. Does anyone know can that filter be cleaned manually? Or is it just something disposable we have to toss?
Theres a spider nut that connects to handle behind the face plate untight it and turn the handle to the right a few times then tighten the spider nut . I work at bedslide .
Isn’t the issue with the drive link the bolts on the Mopar parts? They told me the dealership would fix my truck for free but all they’re gonna do is weld the bolts shut. The problem with it is those bolts that you were losing and tightening, loosen up overtime.
Excellent video, I need to watch the series. I have rust on the bottom of the upper door window as well. I might blast the rust with some fluid film as a short term solution. Thank you for posting.
Mine normally start first to second try...if they don't you already have issues . Most likely oil in lines from propane ..especially if you use a 20lb tank vs the 1 lb tanks.
Turn tank off, 10 seconds flame goes out, hose is empty. Turn flame valve off. To restart, turn tank on slowly, turn burner on and light. The hose can not have pressure left in it because Propane is oil and the oil separates and clogs the hose over a few days so this is the correct way to turn off the burner when the hose goes a distance before the proprietary regulator for the burner. A barbecue pit hose does not have this problem because the regulator is at the tank valve.
@FamilyAdventuresOverlanding Good Morning Sir, what tire size/spec do you have? I have stock rims as well and would like to purchase BFGoodrich as well. Thank you.
Something i dont get here.... If air is injected into the output end of the pilot tube in order to get rid of debris which may be blocking the tube...where does that debris go? ....back into the be feed lines and probably back into the control valve of course...the debris could conceivably be expelled out the gas inlet but it has a very valve, which i did not see opened ....SO, if there was trash in the system, its still in the flow path somewhere...just waiting to clog it up again
Thanks for the video brother. Subscribed. I'm still trying to figure out where the two wires coming off the AC compressor go. I know one goes to some round looking thing under the heat plate but can't get in deep enough visually to see which one goes where. Sucks. I don't see it even in the FSM.
I do not have a list of the part numbers. I remember that I was able to go to my local Toyota dealer and they were able to order it without issue. Thanks for watching!
I didn't here what year your truck is but was wondering if it has gone in for the recalls Dodge put out? Because there was a recall on the steering and my dealer won't sign off the recall on my 2006 because it now has this linkage with the clamp on steering stabilizer. BTW, I am checking with other dealers in case it's BS. Also, the MOOG equivalent (DS800980A) is virtually the same to the Mopar one except the MOOG one has grease fittings on every joint. But there was a recall on the MOOG ones production years 2013-2018. Does anyone have any info on newer ones since they are still being sold? Good video tho, I subscribed and I agreed, those jack stands made me nervous.
Very much so ty Hope It helps I should Have got the bigger one or the rounded kinda square one I really wanted maybe later. Mines been outdoor is whole 3 year life just needs a little love They aren’t the best but they aren’t the worst
Good video, but can I make some additional recommendations :- 1/ use a length of 1.5" timber to set your clearance distance from the cab 2/ you can remove the slide section from the mounting base to make fitting much easier 3/ check underneath truck bed before you drill 4/ use sharp drills and don't push hard 5/ use high speed setting on drill (avoids jamming and sharp edges) 6/ in addition to priming/painting drill hole edges, smear the fixing with silicone. Makes fixing more secure and gives further protection against corrosion, dust and water ingress 7/ if you'll be going offroad, don't use rivnuts, they can rattle loose. Use stainless bolts with a stainless backing plates or large washers under bed, and stainless nylock nuts. Will also minimise bi-metal corrosion 8/ if you do use rivnuts, drill 7/16" not 1/2". It's a tighter fit and allows you to file off any sharp dags without losing clearance Cheers
Easy to use right out the box ru-vid.comUgkxAvrAfikbUEMthp3AZ6iX5FKdiHfzy_RP . Next step is to get a heat activated fan to move the heat. I'm impressed by how long it can go on 1 lbs of propane at the low setting which lasted more than 6hrs. You'll have to adjust it lower than the low setting. Used for personal heating at 30° to 50° at low setting in an open garage, it's quite comfortable. It would warm up a good size single car garage if its closed off.
Thanks for the video. My FJ62 has the same set-up but the nut on that pulley is really stuck. So much that I wasn't sure exactly how it was supposed to come apart.
Nice video, I think I put my belt on too tight last year and now my bearings in my AC compressor are shot. Still blows cold but just squeals whenever the AC is on. Have you replaced just the clutch on the compressor before?
