Modelling my Landcruiser on CAD & Making a custom exhaust - Barra T FJ 45 80 Series Build Video #8 

100% do the CAD episode

Show us everything you do mate, loving it

An episode on CAD would be cool

100% do the CAD episode. Showing us everything you’re doing is awesome, because the quality of what you’re building and the videos is outstanding. Keep up the great work mate.

CAD. Please. Continue vids on everything boet. Excellent

Mate,..the more detail the better, CAD, micro installs, all of it works for me.

Great job 👏

Exhaust heat wrap is really good for insulating dump pipes. Can put your hand on the exhaust after a drive

Loving the videos, vlog everything! Enjoying the content on your build.

👍🏻 keep the videos coming!! Love all the details and this build!

Ceramic coat all you're hot side parts sick build btw

Cad episode would be awesome. Love your work

We want to see all of it! Show us anything and everything. Great work as always, Richard!

Definitely make episodes on those things! You do good work an very humble when mistakes are made, good watching learning an seeing project come together

I reckon the exhaust mounts look awesome. The engineering in them looks quite unique. Ver noice👌🏼 A cad episode would be awesome too

These videos are cool bud keep up the good work 🤙

Building my dream car mate. Keep up the great work

Yes Richard I would definitely mount at the muffler, just think corrugations mate and you'll soon realise yep extra mount !! Also droning exhaust are SO irritating and obnoxious to listen to hour after hour !! Just be careful the exhaust flange at the rear doesn't overheat, melt and catch the top shocky rubber on fire, maybe a shield of some sort !! The front exhaust mount on the chassis and the center mount on the chassis maybe try and tig the inside of the mount as well for extra strength. High mount alternator look great, just remember mate when your lifting the truck, don't make it too high because at the end of the day you've got to work on it comfortably and climbing up and down the front of the truck to fix things ALL THE TIME gets really old really quickly and it's exhausting, especially when it comes to putting things on the tray. The last thing you want is trying to lift heavy or or quid things onto and off an over the top high tray !! I'll watch whatever vids you put up mate, it's your channel, I'll watch it all. Seeya Rob.............excellent vid by the way Richard.

I was thinking yesterday you're due for a video. More vids the better. Il be watching. 👌

Richard , I for one would love to see how you got the vehicle into CAD, very interesting mate. Keep up the good work.

Awesome job mate

Planning on getting it tuned

I wish you did this project on a GQ patrol LWB...I’d be stealing some IP. Keep up the content mate! 👍🏻

If you don’t need clearance for the tyres through the suspension cycle, consider sticking with the stock spring height. Much better handling, most of the time, especially if you’re planning a lap of the country. Cut fenders, fit sliders etc instead. Will still perform great off-road with those tyres. Spend the money on lockers and some low range gears from Marks.

Absolutely worth back purging your stainless welds, will crack over time without it Great work still 🤙🏻

Would love to see how you put the rig into CAD. Great job so far!

Hey mate, love the work. I have a barra 80 zf6. The rod shop kit needs a fgmk2 power steering pump. Alternatively there is a bloke doing press in fittings for the fgmk1 pumps on Facebook market place. My conversion is the banner for barra cruisers. Not as tidy as yours looks but it works. Cheers Clayton

Show us the inside of your welds, I was curious to see how no back purge resulted. Great videos though, loving the build! 👍🏼🤙🏼

Showing every step would be fine but your the one that has to spend the time filming, up to you Richard, when you say lifting it are you talking just suspension or body lift as well? The project is looking awesome

Great video mate, I would also be keen to see you make a CAD vid! Personally I don't think you should need that extra exhaust mount, your exhaust tip mount should hold the upper weight just fine

Awesome mate the only thing I can say is the muffler placement. Yes it’s all well to put it where there’s space but you also get a different sound out the end, depending on where you put it. Turbo cars and v8s always sound better with it as far back as you can before the tip.

I would look at your first mount being a more solid mount to the engine or gearbox. Then flex join after that. That way the first section of exhaust will move with the engine as it vibrates and twists under load.

Hell yeah! The quality of this build is fantastic for your first. My first was an abortion! 😅

Great work Richard. Always look forward to your next video so would also enjoy the CAD video. Was just wondering about engine rock and the ability of the exhaust as you've mounted it to cope with the movement. Is the flex joint you've put in enough?

Speak to patriot camper as they have done the same project and have scanned your type truck. They may share some information with you.

I might’ve put the tank where the muffler is. Better weight distribution and more room for a draw at the back. Really like the videos though!

Awesome Job mate, Im looking at starting my FJ build soon and was looking for a body model if you're willing to share

I want one where do i sign up, this thing is so sick well done man

Hey mate, just went back to this video and I'm wondering what cad software you're using. Cheers brother

what do you clean the exhaust with before tig welding it to get the colour ?

Why no V-Bents on the exhaust? Isnt this supposed to be easier in terms of service and making sure it doesnt leak?

Don’t lift it, run standard height and clearance guards to fit
