My flap must be down where yours ended up, l never found it. I did pull the manifold off and clean all the black sludge out of it while it was apart. I also did the resister mod on the pink MAF wire.
Core size is overkill for the 3L and too much cutting for it. Not a fan of those clamps on the hoses on the cooler and you will oneday figure out why. The strap braket on bottom of the IC will rub and fret a hole through. Nothing should ever touch the bar/plate section.
Thanks for commenting. That size Intercooler is perfect for what I need, intake temps and egts are well done. With the setup I have and the weight of the GU plus towing I can sit at 110kms/h on the freeway and the egts sit 250/280. 👌 The clamps that came with the kit are solid clamps and I’ve used different clamps over years so I had no hesitation in using them. Yes there’s a bit of cutting but it’s all worth it. The bracket that’s in the middle of the cooler doesn’t contact the core as I have a rubber strip behind it. It’s made a huge difference to the GU and I’d recommend it to anyone. Thanks for watching.
@@nom_ben_livingthedream I looked at the kits but the $$$ was over the top. My core is 600x300x75 and sits forward, no metal cut at alld and bonnet bracket still in place, cut the front plastic grill. Hole punches used for pipe hole, no hole saws or jig-saw cuts. I run 20PSI on the snail and have EGT's of 250°C @ 110kph. The charge air temperature on entry is bloody hot (steams in the rain) but by halfway over the core, already ambient. Now you see why I said core is oversized for 3L . FMIC's are the best for any simple and reliable diesel setup. Hose clamps, they hold till they don't and if you blow a hose out bush, common to never see the clamp again and the sealing area will now be oiled and never seal the same . Good clamps are a must along with spares. 510K kays on the clock and still going.
@@nom_ben_livingthedream The RTT is quite heavy. At the start of the video it's laying on the rails and later the rails on the top. What you've been using to rotate it?
Yes you are right they are heavy. With a few helping hands I flipped it over on the trailer and then used a forklift to place it on the Patrol. It’s still on the patrol as we speak. If you head over to our Insta gram page you can see it setup. 👌
Awesome video mate, love how detailed it is. I have a front mount coming soon, different brand but I'm sure I'll come back to this video for a few tips.
Thanks mate. I’m not sure about the high mount winches, I guess it depends on what sort of bar you have and how far the it sits back so I couldn’t tell you to be honest. PDI do also make a large core it might be worth checking out.
@@nom_ben_livingthedream The whole shebang mate. From how you ran cables from the starter battery threw the car and wire sizes to where you set up the 2nd battery. All l have is a starter battery so lm starting from scratch.
Excellent mate 👍 awesome setup. Love seeing another pooroll going bush like this 🤘 we used to have titan drawers, replaced them with xtm ones from bcf to stop the shit rattling, but was stoked to find they’re 10kg lighter per drawer. Just a thought 👍
great Clip guys, love how real it is, we had the pleasure last year, we went west with our Conqueror UEV-490 hybrid van in tow, Few "F' Bombs too. Great work on your vid.
It’s a great adventure, I’ve been there in a Gu myself, loved it. They are very capable with even minimal modifications. Would love to know what rubber flare do you have? I’ve been looking for something just the same.
They are very capable. The flares I got from Autobarn. EZFLARES 25mm I honestly didn’t think they would to long but I was wrong and they’re still holding on.
Hey there. Just for simplicity I bought some supapeg leg ends for the awning and screw in pegs purchased off ebay or most camping stores. Impact driver and pegs are in, plug i have the driver for wheel nuts and so forth. So multi-purpose tool. The amount of people that ask me about the peg is crazy. Just thought I'd share as anything to easy is good for me and I'm all ears. Cheers
Just read ya description, yeah we have the darche shower and companion aquaheat too, great setup ay! Was gonna get a emuwing on that side with ensuite over the top 👍 see what happens lol
Hey mate, can I ask how it's been holding up with just the brackets? Doesn't sag in the centre without racks or crossbars? Got an ax27 as well and am thinking about doing the same setup, love your idea!
Thanks for watching. It’s been holding up really well. I’ve been on many trips away now on some tough Vic high country tracks and rough terrain. The only thing I’ve changed is the height of the brackets to lower it another 25mm, other than that it been great. The AX27 has been built super tough as you know and it doesn’t sag in the middle at all.
Came here for this too mate, getting mine soon, just need to work out the deets and this was really helpful thankyou. Also, what the most weight you’ve put inside? Im a heavy cnt and stressed its gonna sag lol
@@WaitWhat99 One of the reasons for us purchasing the AX27 was the fact that you can leave all your bedding and pillows inside and close it up. We store shoes in bags and the ladder in there also. It’s bloody awesome. It’s solid and I haven’t seen any sagging there’s support bracing welded into the tent frame so it should be fine.
It’s honestly been amazing. I haven’t had any problems with sagging these AX27’s are all welded with a solid frame underneath. We will upload a video soon with some setup content.
Mate nice work I've just finished flooring and building and installing a center consoles into my old 4.2 seahawk stacer still gotta carpet it and put in me nav lights I've got a 40 pushing me boat I think it's over board tbh nice rig that's how I'm trying to make mine lol I nice clean boat
Hi mate,Nice setup you have there.Would you be able to explain how you made the hatches over the fuel tank etc as I would like something line that in my quinny. Cheers.
Me too. Have a 385 explorer and have fully customised it to my dream boat for the estuary. The back casting deck is my final project for it and would love to know how it’s done as I don’t want to have it connected to the outer boat as it’s very weak.
Impressive, great to see people can still enjoy towed watersports even behind a little tinny. I've skied behind a mates 40 hp tinny a few years ago and I weighed 90 kg at the time so it can be done. I did it on double skis though, but still great if you are just a recreational skier.
