I know its been a while since this video came out, but did you use any sealant on the gasket between the oil pump housing and the block? I've developed a coolant leak, and I think that seal might have failed as I have coolant leaking from behind the injector pump.

Hey mate! Looks amazing!! I’m going to North Queensland soon for fishing mostly. Mostly want to do land based GT fishing. Do you have some general recommendations or tips for areas? On one hand around cairns/Whitsundays seems good but it looks like a boat is almost necessary for good fishing. I think up north around Siesa and Cape York would be better as there’s less fishers and it’s warmer! What are your thoughts and if you have general tips for someone going up north for fishing I would definitely love to hear it!!

Congrats on the Ring! and the 79🎉... I've had one for 5yrs now and all i can say is people will either love it or hate it... just ignore the haters as it's what you wanted. I may have done things arse about... sound deadening was one of the first things I did; then a clutch upgrade, new exhaust and towing tune - no more downshifting to go up hills whilst towing (under 2T anyways), and when it's unladen it's phenomenal. I switched focus to building a canopy for it rather than doing any more which I regret as I don't use the canopy as often... i'd like to have upgraded the head unit and speakers but that'll happen sooner or later... then brakes, then suspension & GVM... etc. Anyway, look forward to more videos!
