I put a set on our 200 series last year as my wife was having mobility issues after several surgeries. ARB Jindalee did their usual great work with the installation. It’s meant we can still easily continue touring with our AOR MPT too. I was concerned with how they would be in the sand but a few days chasing schools of tailor last year on K’gari/Fraser had no negative impact. Enjoy your easier climb.

❤ Always nice to have such + comments, thanks sooo much. It’s only early days for us, with these steps, but I certainly appreciate them 👍 I’m just going to “play” with the way they are wired, to suit my cruise. I’ve yet to figure out why cleared say wire to “main” battery not and not the auxiliary! Me, I’d rather have a main with full charge. This accessory works all the time (irrespective of key position) so I want to protect my start battery. Thanks again. kennym

Interesting to paint alloy. But in my experience, alloy doesn't rust. And underneath, I thought AOR vans have allow sheets which protect the bottom of the van. No need to add extra weight. I doubt AOR would have the protection plates as an option.
@kennymepicadventures876 25 күн бұрын
Alloy does corrode and it tarnishes. The painting was more aesthetic driven than concern about longevity. There are no underbody “panels” to protect the composite fibreglass. Sure, the tanks are inside a sheet metal “box”. We use to own an ultimate off road camper (also composite fibreglass) and standard they have a deadener applied under neath. Much akin motor vehicles. I applied the deadener as a measure of protection and longevity (lighter than “plates” for protection) and cheaper than repairing the composite fibreglass. Thanks for your comments. kennym

Hey buddy, Travelled just over 3000kms with the AB60. It has plenty of positives, for sure. I reserved about towing at the moment. My gut feeling is the oil cooling I have won’t be good enough. But my 79 has a front mount intercooler so it will be different for those who have a top mount intercooler. Fuel consumption is more than a manual. The AB60 is limited by how much nM you can throw at it. But I know Wholesale sell a more beefier AB60 than their “standard” that I have. I’m gradually getting use to the “feel” of the drive. Do I miss the manual, probably not. It is a significant investment. But for me, it was the cheaper option than buying a 200 and building it or buying a 300 and building it. This will just make driving the 79 a bit easier (and on highway it’s quieter). kennym

@@kennymepicadventures876 thanks for the feedback appreciate it I’m also worried about cooling as from what I’ve been told by the installer they now only supply the PWR radiator with heat exchanger as the main cooling no separate cooler as they have decided this is the best option moving forward . I believe it’s the same radiator as you run on your cruiser already. Hopefully PDI come up with something I’ve also considered going the bigger cast pan straight away as I’ll be towing a van mainly.

@@krisormerod779 if you don’t have a front mount intercooler I can’t see why you could not fit a heavy duty oil cooler up front similar to the 200 series. PDI have a nice looking oil cooler they are developing. PWR also do oil coolers and they can do custom coolers too. Just stay away from the fin and tube coolers. Note, it’s cheaper getting the radiator directly from PWR than through Wholesale. If that is the way you head.

Best of luck. I’m dropping a short 3rd instalment after having just completed a short tow with our van. It’ll be about fuel consumption, a bit of video watching the shifts and stuff like that. New Transfer Case! The old girl had 307000 kms on it and i’ve given it a hammering over the years. When the 79 was under heavy load I was getting a bearing noise from the transfer case. It’d only happen in 1st and sometimes 2nd. I put a new rear diff centre and locker in about 15 months ago after destroying it. I put a new rear axle housing (DWIZ) with chrome moly axles in August 22. It’s got pretty new uni joints. In short, the transfer case I saw as a weak point in my drive line. I didn’t want to Bgr around so I decided to replace it. Long winded answer 😂 kennym

@kennymepicadventures876 4 ай бұрын
In the description to the video I mention my initial thoughts and I think I pinned a comment as well. I’ve not towed (am doing that today) nor have I been off road to assess how it performs. But, the highway driving I did last week it was pretty good. It’s a little clunky, as I mention, when cold. But it’s not terribly clunky. It’s a bit hard to video the “feeling” of the shifts. But I’ll do a bit 👍 I’ve noticed when in auto (not sports mode nor with lock up engaged by the switch) it seems to only use lock up in 5th and 6th. I’m guessing that is for drive ability. It’d likely be more clunky if it locked up through most the gears. Thanks for the comment. kennym
@billroach2393 4 ай бұрын
With the Allison in the Chevy, locking up the converter is achieved by selecting "TOW/HAUL" mode. It stays locked in all gears except 1st, but won't allow lock up to occur at all if the box hasn't reached a predetermined temperature. Not sure what that temperature is, but suspect its about 50°c. Also, "TOW/HAUL" alters the revs at which each change occurs. For example, in non TOW/HAUL mode I get into 6th at about 90kph, but in T/H mode it's about 115kph. As such, with the caravan on, I rarely get into 6th.....not unless I exceed speed limit whilst overtaking. Once back down to 100kph, it'll hold 6th until speed drops to about 95kph. I'm sure you'll love it all the time with the possible exception of steep downhill 1st gear crawling.

@kennymepicadventures876 4 ай бұрын
The size of the cold side (to the turbo) does not “regulate” how much air is inducted. Tricky sensors (MAF/MAP) help the ECU map out AFR. My tune is not sooo aggressive that I need a better air box or snorkel. The air load required to service the tune I have is adequately serviced by the cold side intake system. 22 March the cruiser gets de-tuned” so I am not loading the AB60 Auto input more than Wholesale have advised. Conversely, if I had been chasing 1000nM++ I’d have thrown +30 injectors in, replaced the air box and snorkel and looked at a fuel pump with greater volume capacity (and I’d also need to change the OME 2 micron fuel filter because that is a real inhibitor of fuel flow). In short, nope, the snorkel is more than adequate 👍

Second thought would be that there's a Whipple (or similar) on the way....but that's out too, given that you've just plumbed in a new Garrett. So, to my way of thinking, that can only mean that you are going to fit a liquid to air aftercooler. That seems a bit difficult to comprehend too, given that you've already gone from top mount to front mount air to air unit. So, I'll remain intrigued until you put me out of my misery. 😂

Over a sand dune and down a road and there's bins and loos okay I'm sleeping there. that kind of traveller has a real nature experience. then theres peeps with vans. they can get in most areas and sand is their nemesis. then theres hardcore campers with vans that will just drag the thing anywhere, 4 foot of mud, its okay I'm getting this thru i paid extra for the snorkel. Theres tourers who like to drive around places and people watch, doing the odd paid tour (that's a whole other rabbit hole tours of nature and outback stuff is real hit and miss, tripadvsior helps a tonne, and i think that's why all outback vids look the same now as theres a hit list of things to see and the bad stuff just don't even film it). Others stay for a month in one spot to absorb it, fisherman and hunters do that over a weekend. others wont get off bitumen when most of the great stuff is 30km from the hwy but you only got 2wd.
