I guess of you do the hard core offroading like you it is required to do all those mods. Just wondering what the real weight additions are etc will be interesting
@4WheelingSA 4 күн бұрын
@@FORTUNER_ADVENTURES that is a very good question. I have tried to keep the weight down. Think the rock slider is 40 kg and the bull bar 50. Weight is a big enemy. Some rigs are just way overweight.

October 24 we traveled through the kloof with our fortuner pulling a echo 3 trailer. Your video was one of them that made me plan the trip. We went from west to east with our last night in Kudu kaya. LUCKILY we where the only car in the kloof that day, As some of those climbs and turns is a serious issue if there has to be another car from the front. Especially at the Patensie side. Whole trip from Dooringkloof 4x4 - the Patensie gate did take me 7.5hours hahahahahahah.But what a abslolute JOL and thank you for this video it was the reason for going.

Yes, it is an Exhaust Upgrade. I have installed the De Graaf Exhaust system. I did not mention the specific supplier as wanted the video to be about the concept of the modification and not the supplier (I believe this adds more value to you as the viewer). Hope it answers your question?

Thanks for the advice....does the 4x4 suspension make the ride harder, cause as is the Tuner does not have the most comfortable ride...
@4WheelingSA 5 күн бұрын
I prefer the ride over standard. It is firmer (make sense since you put in coils that can carry more weight). I have drive a standard Fortuner (rental) this week and prefer the ride in mine. You can feel the difference when you get the Fortuner to work hard (Load, towing, gravel roads, offroad etc). Hope this helps?

I also installed a suspension system sold by Dawie Harmse (DCS Suspension) at the same installer. Unfortunately, I’ve never been satisfied with the installation. The shocks were rubbing against the upper control arms, and the CV joint boot was also damaged due to improper installation. I returned to the installer to address these issues, but the problems persisted. I contacted Dawie once to explain my concerns. However, despite multiple attempts to reach him after that, he has not answered my calls. His latest "state-of-the-art" system may be the Formula Shocks, but based on my experience, I would recommend sticking with Pure 4x4 installers and tried-and-tested systems backed by honest and reliable support. Apologies for the negative feedback, Henk. I hope the system you were sponsored with performs better. Unfortunately, this reflects the reality many non-sponsored overlanders face.

I hear you on the 3rd row seats.. I just removed mine.. Take s 12 minutes. Will place it back the day I need it. but the space gain is incredible. I considered the 7 seater option and for us the 3rd row seats out makes more sense 99% of the time to have that additional space and less weight in the vehicle. Those seats are heavy... Lekker man Henk sorry to hear about the clutch, but luckily that is in the past now and I can see you enjoy your Fortuner a lot, I myself will not be doing too harsh offroading, we just want to go places where the 4x2 just just can not manage or just just manage where the 4x4 is going to laugh..

@@FORTUNER_ADVENTURES new ones are already very capable compared to the stock 2017 one, remapping the 2024s and pretending to be stock while you make some big dogs sweat on the highway is a completely funny feeling, what i like about 1GDs is that their pistons aren't a weak link like the 1KD i have, but then 1kds crack pistons even when stock so i may as well enjoy the few KW i gained which i am. I made a comment that i have a 3" exhaust (no cat), a custom Airbox and a 150KW/430NM (at the wheels) remap, after custom Airbox i can barely touch 450°C (post turbo) on inclines, the car has run very cold especially after custom Airbox.
