@mitchmcmurtrie8257 6 месяцев назад

Keep these build videos coming. Can't wait to see how this turns out. Keep the tub and put a canopy on it. It's in good nick and will save a ton of $ if you're trying to go budget. Next up mods: Snorkel, battery, fridge.

@theexplorelife 6 месяцев назад

Some good ideas there 👌

@jaywilson7062 7 месяцев назад

Keen for this build as I have a 2016 Hilux for 5 years now and still love it like I’ve only had it for a week. I did wheels and tyres straight away then spotties 2nd and then snorkel. I haven’t lifted it yet but that’s next. Winning that BROWNDAVIS tank would be an awesome upgrade. Mate would love to see you keep the tub and see what you do with it. Pumped on this build 🤙

@theexplorelife 7 месяцев назад

Good call mate! Tub setup would be cool 🤔

@amyhartley9004 6 месяцев назад

Tray and 3/4 canopy, rtt and awning, brown davis long range take for sure!!! Getting it ready for the longer weekend trips / tools and ropes / hunting gear / mini touring 🤙🏽

@SlackingSince1969 6 месяцев назад

You're doing just fine so far. The shock choice is a good one. A good quality standard shock works for the average dude. Next up airlockers, a snorkel air intake, fuel filters if not already on the truck. No general need for the deep wading capability as most average owners don't beat on their trucks, but the fresh air intake makes it a stage 2 must have. Stage 3 Long range or additional fuel tank, UHF setup, rear bumper. Stage 4 Better off-road lighting setup, possible front bumper upgrade, 12,000lb winch, seat covers, trailer towing capability if not already capable, skid plates if needed. After that it depends on what you plan to do with the truck bed. The standard bed is fine for average dudes. In that case drawers, bed cap, lithium/electronics, fridge/freezer. If going with tray you still need at least a half canopy like the GU for the lithium/electronics and fridge/freezer. Roof mounted solar and Maxtrax.

Young tommy what are you thinking

@BLU3VF 6 месяцев назад

Ok as someone that just brought a 2018 N80 this is grouse Mods I’m thinking of doing first are lift, tyres, rear bar (rear bar to get the spare out from under the car for space for a water tank) light bar and spotties, bull bar and Brown Davis long range tank. Being a p plate as a mechanic means it’s gonna be AWHILE before I can do anything but those are the plans ahah

@theexplorelife 6 месяцев назад

That’s it mate! Just modify in time as the budget allows 🙌 Good point about bringing the spare up - hadn’t considered that yet 👍

@jakerichter3433 6 месяцев назад

Has to have a snorkel, staino for looks, plastic for bucks, 1in body lift for scrub clearance. Next isnt ideal for long trips but budget friendly tub rack rrt setup and mabye tub drawer systems! smikko

@cooperV-he9gi 6 месяцев назад

Excited to see how the build goes matty! I’d put a tub rack on the Back with a rooftop tent too keep the weight down and then a simple drawer setup in the back with a fridge. That brown Davis tank would make a big difference for my bt50 as I’m starting to go on longer trips

@pantoqwerty 6 месяцев назад

Good for posting the costs as you go along. I’d also be interested to know how they affect your insurance costs from stock to final. Insurers love those “what have you changed on your vehicle” questions as they start lifting the premiums.

@@theexplorelife the reason why top gear was so successful was not because of the supercars, it was because of the the budget builds and genuine presenters.

@xdprdx3536 4 месяца назад

hey mate, did ypu have to do a body mount chop to fit the 33" tyres or what did you do?

@intimatespearfisher 6 месяцев назад

Keen to see the build mate. Some cheap handy mods I'd suggest are manual hub disconnectors cause I love running 2wd low range backing the work trailer and in case you break a cv. Also there is a product that allows you to run the n80 with traction control on and still have rear locker engaged. Apparently you can only have one or the other stock? Anytime locker kit I think they are called.

@bencurrie8322 6 месяцев назад

@harrisongauci2487 6 месяцев назад

Hay mate little tip. Make sure you do diff breathers and also do the 4wd actuator. It’s next to the front diff and what engages it. I’m currently replacing mine as the breather supplied from factory is inline with the diff. Its a common problem I’d look into it

@brantcarruthers6519 5 месяцев назад

Had my 2012 rg collie since 2017, yes it’s taken a beating but bloody oath it’s had some timely mods as the years have gone on. Plus a wrecker cab, engine and box swap from a newer model that may or may not have been written off 🤫

@RUGGEDREPAIRS 6 месяцев назад

My 3 ideas for stage 2 would be 1. GME Radio communication, would throw that in first, u don't wanna be that guy that's got no idea what's going on, on your trip away. 2. New bull bar like an muzz bar or along those lines (everyones go to bar) 3. Rock sliders, keep the sills in good Nic

@TrentHunt-ib5wx 6 месяцев назад

Stage 2, staino, uhf, spotties. Stage 3 roofrack,sliders Stage 4 winch, 12v basic duel cab is build after these Stage 5 tray & canopy Stage 6 tune and enjoy

@TheWhitehilux 6 месяцев назад

Might want to be careful when saying a 285/70r17 is legal when they are not for that model of Hilux. Not great to give incorrect advise that can lead to getting defected.

@ronbeurs208 7 месяцев назад

You should clarify that 285s are not legal on a Hilux without engineering and certification. 275/70r17 or equivalent is the largest legal size. You’re allowed 25mm of tyre lift and 50mm suspension. 285s are 27-28mm.

My thought for stage 1 wouldve been, Winch and recovery gear, dual battery setup with maybe a solar panel, and a decent fridge. Probs around the 3-5k mark depending of brands. Can wheel a stock vehicle all the way to the tip and back without wanky rims and even a lift. Stage 2 for me would be 2" lift larger tyres. 5k Stage 3 fibreglass canopy to keep dust of ya shit. New 4k Add max 1k for consumable along the way. Thats roughly 15k on top of a 36k car which to me is budget build. After all that is when you start adding wanky shit.
