Thanks for getting Wayne on, it was great to hear him talking. I think he said more in this one video than the whole last year! Thoroughly enjoyed this one
Ronny and Wayne and Torben great team as always keep showing the Q&A guys we learn a lot from the new upgrades and Mods and it shows as part of the adventures that you need good mates to count on and great landcruisers as part of that great adventures.
Hi all, my 1st mod was a primary 30 micron fuel filter and a catch can then a clutch,exhaust,a remap for towing then a GVM to 3900kg etc,etc Cheers Alain.(Perth)
I had 2 late gen 3.0l TDi Hilux's SR5s, a manual then an auto, the shape before the current or latest gen 2.8s and found the same thing as Wayne, great daily driver, all round weekend warrior, but for bashing and heavy loading esp out on the farm the 70 was the go, (High Country) also the single cab was fine for the farm, but man I could not live with a single cab for longer or Overland touring. Pity they don't do a king cab instead, have to be a double or a troopy for mine. But awesome work, love the modified vehicle vids, also really like Wayne's low key approach to mods and what's needed over whats wanted, its why I am a fan of the 70s series V8s. Plus another reason I loved that Anne Beadell trip you guys did and esp because you had 4 x 70series on that trip.cheers🤘
Good vid! Ronny, any chance of doing a vid with a bit of background on all the guys? Where you all came from, how you got into all these fun and games?
Little Wyano, funny just checking out some tube & the people you come across used to ride with talented boy even sold him one of my bikes (Kona stinky) great to see you out there haven fun mate haven't changed a bit. Have you introduced Ronny to Monkey sausage yet...lol...keep the shiny side up bloke.
Suppose to pick up my shogun in a week or so..and it all fell through.fucking crying..have to stick to my escort van ...😭..love your videos..great work..great people..great adventures..Steve UK England
Awesome video guys - funny you noted the GME UHF being quiet, I've got a GME TX3345 and everyone in my group complains of it being quiet (think we also found that on the Goldfields trip as well Ronny).....maybe something more to it than the hole size. No issues with my Uniden UHF though, it always come through loud.
Great Off-Road Adventures - Graham Reinders I remember years ago in the CB’s they used to have what we called a spit pad in the microphone which was a bit of foam for those people who used to spray when they talked. We used to open the mic up and pull it out. Maybe they’ve put them back in
FINALLY! A RU-vid video showing the inside of an the 63Q ARB Fridge (although extremely brief). That is the size I plan to go with in my trailer when that funding eventually sprouts from the money tree. Most folks I see on RU-vid run the 50Q or two of the smaller 37Q. If possible, could you do a little more in depth coverage on how much food/drinks can be packed into the 63Q? NOBODY has done this (that I can find). Thanks!
I have a 63. I'm in Phoenix, Arizona, and it is either in the back of my 80 series LC or my Power Wagon on their slide all the time. It is handy when your picking up groceries and it is +110* (43* C) outside. I can easily take enough food for over a weeks trek, and now with a FoodSaver (vacuum packed, or like Ronny says cyro'd err whatever), even longer. I did get the ARB bag for it, and TBH I'm not sure it helps all that much. There is a removable divider in the center of the basket, which is nice, a small 'shelf' above the compressor area at the rear that is a perfect size for an egg carton and maybe cheese or something that doesn't need to be quite as cold as what is in the chest. I have mine wired for both 12v and shore power because they will toast batteries, more from the repeated deep cycles than anything. Plan on solar and separate 'house' battery from your starter. I'd say you can get ~2 days run here in AZ before a marine battery is dead, or low enough the ARB will shut off. Other big recommendation, get a RV fridge battery powered fan to circulated the air in the box. It really helps to cool stuff down quicker and more evenly. 2 D cells will run one for over a month. I'm pretty sure Dometic makes these for ARB, and I've had mine now four years, and I do over 3000 miles/year on washboard dirt roads which shakes the hell out of everything. So far, she is still cranking away. Not sure where in the world you are, so hope this helps. Ping me back if you have more questions.
Don Leamon - Thanks bud. I'm in NW Oregon west of PDX and we have pretty moderate temps up here usually 60F +/- 20 year round. Occasionally get a few days above 90F, but I wouldn't be in town, rather up in the mountains, or at the coast on those days. My plan is to put the fridge in my overland/exped/adventure/kayak hauling trailer that I built about 7 years ago. I do have a Honda EU2000, but plan to run solar and a group 31 RV battery for this setup. Just tired of having to pack so much ice for two coolers for a week of fishing. I pack my Food Saver with me to vac pack fish fillets on those fishing trips. My plan is to pack the bottom of the fridge with frozen water bottles to make up any space that food isn't taking. This way I can trade out the frozen bottles with vac packed fillets as I go through the week. Picture of my trailer here. The ARB 37Q and 63Q are the only two models short enough to fit inside the trailer, and be able to slide out with the tailgate down. i.pinimg.com/736x/15/c2/7c/15c27c321b64399afcf0b86137a518a3--adventure-trailers-expedition-trailer.jpg
Alu-cab brilliant idea BUT it’s time for bed, it’s pissing down rain, you’re soaked, only access is ladder you can’t stand up to get changed (although Wayne might as he short😁) so you have to lay down how do you stop your bedding etc from getting wet?
You Blokes have me laughing constantly... Ex-Pat Living in the USA these days... there is one thing that i miss the most about Australia, is four wheeling, camping and fishing with my mates. The constant Banter, taking the piss out of each other for all the mistakes and driving yet at the end of it all you’re all sitting around a campfire laughing about the day. You’re obviously Real good Mates... that’s what stands out in your video’s. `
Excellent work fellas. looking forward to seeing the alu set up. Alu Cab rtt's are brilliant but really pricey, maybe a review in the future? Good bunch of mates Ronny.
The sealed water cooled alternator. Which one is it? Custom bracket? Amps? Additional modifications for the install? Tied into the stock coolant system with some "T"s?
I wonder why they didnt make any type of awning on the side windows? and not sure why they made the windows zip from the top down... the windows should zip from down up? alucab make a great product. im just stumped on the thoughts behind this tent.
I think it might be a pain if the other windows had awnings on when packing away, it’s all about speed and practical. With the zips it has to work that way so that water can run off, if you get to have a close up look one day it will make sense, cheers for the feedback
Good day I have a single cab LC79 M/T, which is working on gasoline. My car has a 1GR-FE engine and I’m interested to increase its power and also to maintain a street and daily use. I tried to get more info from the net but most of the subjects are talking about tacoma and tundra and I’m not sure if the they all have the same engine compartment dimensions. I would like to add the follwing parts to my car - air intake. - Supercharger or procharger. - Full exhaust system, from header till the rear muffler. Also I’m not sure if I really need to add any more part such as ECU or extra coolers Please I need your suggestions to have the best experience.
