I trimmed about 10mm off the joining rubber between engine and air box. Apart from that, it bolted straight up.

Not exactly sure what you mean. But I'm happy I traded it in on a 200 series landcruiser now. 👍

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 everyone I know that I talk to has had a turbo replacement on a DMax some twice.

@tonybennett638 ahh ok. I have heaps of mates out the mines with me that have them, and none of them have had failures. Even my old d-max never had turbo issues. Bit Luke the mahindra, some times ya just get bad ones.

He sure did. It was trapped upside down between two rocks. So my wife decided to save him. Thanks for watching. It is very much appreciated. 😀🙏

No problem at all. It really is a fantastic place. I definitely enjoy taking the family away and enjoying the great outdoors. Infact, we are heading off again this weekend to another beautiful beach location. More fishing, camping, buggy/bikes and great food by the camp fire. This toy hauler we built is a great way for the whole family to get out. Thanks for watching, it is very much appreciated. 👍😀🙏

Give them a ring. I'm sure they can help you out.

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 I can not hear my phone i am nearly deaf that is why i email

@Casey6996 ok do you want me to get in touch with them for you. I'm glad to help if you want.

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 I did send another email again and see if they are going to answer this time. Thanks for your offer Graham

@Casey6996 I will give them a call for you tomorrow and make sure they respond. I know they were flat out when I was down there, but your email is important. So I will help you out if that's ok.

Thanks mate. Kids love it. 😀👍

Thanks mate, Bern a bit, but needed a break away from it all. But definitely happy to be back in the swing of things. Thanks for watching 👍.

Thanks mate. Definitely an eye opening place. 👍

Thanks mate. Had to re-edit the whole thing, as the music on the other one wasn't licensed like the website said. So I re did the whole thing and fixed it.

My son is 182cm. He is the one riding the bike.

Thanks mate. I'm sure he will. 👍😀

Missed you guy'zzz Hope all is well Thank's for sharing

@robbiecryer thanks mate. Been hectic and needed a break from it all. But getting back in the swing of things again. Lol. Thanks for your support. Very much appreciated 👏

I always let my engine idle down after a long drive. It doesn't matter now, I sold it ages ago and bought a 200 series landcruiser.

Doesn't bother me now..... I sold it and bought a 200 series landcruiser. Way better 4x4 and not a drama with it. Thanks for watching.

Yeah, personally I think the SUV would sell quite good over here in Australia. Thanks for watching. 👍

Thanks for watching. 😀👍

Yes. 👍

G'day mate. Definitely a good size for 7 acres. We have 10 here, and it's ideal for what we need. The tractor has just over 80 hours on it at the moment, it shares a bit of the use with my 19hp iseki tractor, so the amount of use isn't really high. It's main use is slashing, digging and timber work. The only thing I have found troublesome, is the low/high range gear stick should be around the other way. When your in low, the gear stick pokes out in front of your left foot, so it gets in the road when jumping on and off the machine. But when it's in high, it's in an upright position away from everything. Apart from that, it is pretty well designed. Great hydrolic pressure and a gutsy little engine. It really is great value for money. The biggest part that sold me was the downward pressure on the 3 point linkage, the availability of parts, and the customer care after I bought it. Stuff I didn't get when buying a car. Lol. But seriously I am really impressed with the little thing, just an honest tractor that does the job. Hope this helps. And thanks for watching. 👍

Nice. I'm glad you have had a good run with it. It's a shame mine wasn't as reliable. I'm sure I would have had a lot more fun in it. Thanks for watching. 👍

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 i guess region also matters. Parts and service ain't a problem in SA I wound have loved solid axles at the front.

@marshmallowsquad7988 yep, solid axle would have definitely been better.

Thanks mate. Considering you don't have any shocks to replace and the ease of mounting the whole system to your trailer, I'd say it's great value for money. I looked at quite a few independent set-ups, and the crap you had to go through just to mount them all exactly the same looked a pain in the ars compared to simplicity. I'm a big believer of keeping it basic and effective. Thanks for your feedback, and thanks for watching 👍

Yes mate they look like a fantastic simple design with little that can go wrong and next to no maintenance, keep up the videos they’re great to watch!

@jonathonchaplin7876 thanks heaps. I actually have the toy hauler in the shed getting it ready for our next camping trip in a few weeks. Can't wait. 👍

Unfortunately no. It was just a badly built turbo. A bit Luke the one they replaced it with.

Thanks mate. It was an awesome family build. And we can't wait to use it again in a couple of weeks when we head off on holidays again. Thanks for watching. Very much appreciated 👍😀

Yes I agree that Toyota have some issues as well. But the difference is sales volume to issues. Toyota and other companies make and sell far more then mahindra. So to have so many issues in a small number of vehicles sold compared to a major manufacturer isn't a good look for the brand.

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 oh definitely not I actually liked these. Once my back injury was sorted I was going to get one myself

I'm a bit sceptical now

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 I'd say they would of sorted it out for the next model

They aren't the smoothest thing to sit in . Like an old Holden rodeo.

Still not good for a brand new vehicle. Thanks for watching 👍

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 Your quality content demands a viewing. Keep it up.

Thanks for the kind words. 😀👍

That's exactly right. Makes you wonder if the new global ute will have the same poor build quality when it comes to Australian shores.

Thanks mate. I'm actually thinking of naming it nothing but trouble. Lol. Just done a head gasket and clutch master cylinder. Ready to sell the old girl and cut my losses.

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 I’m sorry to hear that man, looked like a tidy rig. Hope it all works out :)

@Quest4Coins thanks mate. Yeah body wise it's fantastic. A lot of new gear through the whole build including new injector pump and injectors. But honestly I'm over working on it.

Thanks.👍

Probably. But it shouldn't matter where they are made, but how they are made.

Gee that is definitely not a good start. That's the biggest problem I found with mahindra. They seemed to be just slapped together by people who have no idea of quality control. I certainly hope you don't have any more drama with it. If it looks like it's going to have more, get rid of it asap!!. Trust me ya don't need the stress of dealerships and mahindra blaming you for the problems. Good luck and thanks for watching 👍

It was so good seeing the kids absolutely enjoying themselves out on the water. This will remain a very special memory for me. Thanks for watching. Much appreciated. 👍

Certainly is mate. I was actually surprised how easy it did it. This thing impresses me every time I use it.

Mate'eeee You didn't yell out timmberrr. Lol Thank's for sharing

Lol my wife actually said the same thing. I must be getting old🤣. Thanks for watching 👍

Yep, it was pretty disappointing. But I have something better now.

I was most definitely NOT sponsored by mahindra. And was definitely NOT satisfied with mahindra Australia, or was I satisfied with their product and customer service. And I'm not the only one. Thanks for watching. Much appreciated. 👍

Congratulations. Yeah certainly does. It helps get it's bum up out the water quality. Just see how your set-up goes, but we actually swapped props to a proper that gives more torque then speed. Ous only does about 46kph now, but it has so much more punch from the get go. Helps heaps in big waves.

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 Thanks mate. Such a versatile boat. What prop did you transfer to?

I can't remember exactly. But I contacted my dealership, and they sent a different prop up in return for the original prop. The new one was definitely better suited to my set-up.

Thanks. 👍😀

Thanks mate. Yeah grimlock turned out a beast. The young fulla took it in to show it off. I'm away at work so he wanted to enter it. Thanks for watching mate 👍.

Yeah. Trident is more Australian focused compared to lovol which is more European focused. But made out of the same factory.

Tata tried selling 4x4's in Australia ages ago. It failed miserably. And I can see mahindra doing the same I'm they keep going the way they are.

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 Tata motors years ago was not doing good even in india. But since last 3 years, they have became favourites in SUV segment in india. Just check the cars they have launched in India lately. Very likeable and feature rich designs. Today's tata motors and earlier one is very Rumours has it that, Jaguar land rover designers have launched these new vehicles for Tata motors.

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 That Tata motors and today's Tata motors are very different companies. Just check newly launched Cars from Tata like Tata Safari, Tata Harrier, Tata Nexon... They have completely changed the cars design. Very futuristic. Even they are now leaders in EV segment in SUVs,

Thanks.👍

Thanks mate. Yeah I speak with John every now and then. He was bitterly disappointed like others that I got a dodgy of a mahindra instead of a good one. But the 200 series landcruiser is performing faultlessly for us. Thanks for watching. Very much appreciated 🙏.

Yeah, after being in this country for over 10 years now, you would think mahindra could get there act together with aftermarket parts distributors and give Australian people more choice of parts to build their own unique 4x4.

Yep. I really wanted to test it out more, but the thing just wanted to scrape its nose and ars everywhere. Lol

G'day mate. I absolutely love this set-up!!. The motor is perfectly matched to the boat. I changed prop pitch to give it more punch from the start, but it brought my speed back to 47km/h. It handles the rough stuff just perfect, and with its big reverse chimes you can walk around on this thing without it wanting to roll over. Definitely go get it, you won't be disappointed 👍.

Awesome thanks for the reply!

@joetango1267 no problem. And thanks for watching 👍

That's exactly right. All my family know how to drive offroad. My son's were driving offroad at a very early age. 😀

Thanks. It was a great build. 👍

Thanks heaps. Yes we definitely had some great adventures. And now I'm in the process of another trailer build to take us on our next adventure.

Yes, I was very disappointed as well. As a family we put so much in to the mahindra brand, just for them to disown us and what we had done for them. I probably sold more mahindras then some dealerships. I definitely believe if the vehicle wasn't such a drama we would have had so many more fun times with it. But life goes on..... our channel started before the mahindra turned up, and it will continue with my family and I enjoying time together without it. Thanks for watching, very much appreciated 🙏 👍

Exactly right. Unfortunately mahindra have no idea of the vast distances we travel here in Australia, and parts supply should be easily accessible. And the quality control is poor to say the least. Just to many problems with the small amount of them on Australian roads. You made the right choice getting a Colorado. Thanks for watching mate 👍

Not since I sold it.
