This episode was awesome, great dude, knows his stuff, really enjoyed this one RD, 🍻 It’s given me some more ideas and solved one delima I had, which was side/rock rails /bars, after have std Toyota side plates on the 2 new Hilux’s, swore I’d never have or run plates again, always filled with stones, crap, hard to clean and also in muddy tracks you would be pushing mud with them rather than sliding over the mud or through it, adding to chances of getting stuck and extra load wear and tear on everything, I wanted rock sliders and couldn’t find anything that I was happy with, I found what I am after watching this thanks to the Bar work, which also solved my rear bar requirements I was after, which all came about because of his front bar, if that makes sense, I’d all but decided to stick with ARB Deluxe BB, I didn’t really like, 100% the look of the bar and the rear option wasn’t right for I wanted either until seeing this and then going to the Powerful 4 x 4 website and found front bar, brush bars, rock sliders and rear bar and carriers exactly what I was after, so stoked about that. This series even without doing a build etc is so good, really some of my fav vids you do, great work and some really great characters like this dude. cheer RD and those men and women who share their machines 🔥🤙

Regarding the upgraded headlight globes Ronny - unlike when you put higher wattage globes in regulated 240v power sockets / lights etc in the home, putting higher wattage globes in a 12v vehicle makes no output brightness difference. This is due to the car voltage being much less voltage and less regulated stability - think pure sine / modified sine wave 12v inverters.. All it does do is load up the power being drawn and sucks more juice out of your battery and / or alternator.. I’ve tested this many times over the years and can confirm it makes no difference, just draws more money out of your wallet 😂😂 👍

Nicely built this one is! I dont know alot about turbo motors, but im pretty confident that a turbo diesel motor isnt meant to lose 1L of oil into the catch can per 100kms. While the solution he found to the problem is whimsical, the ten thousand he saved on the 'mates rates' rebuild may be part and parcel of the oil problem he's having. great truck regardless, jealous i dont own one!
@ferremit5 жыл бұрын
Im the guy who was the rebuilder and its been a mystery to us, and about 4 other professional engine builders I've talked too. Its got perfect compression for the rebuild, it doesnt blow excessive blowby either hot or cold, but what it does seem to be doing is holding oil in the head at high engine RPM's (Kinda like how high power LS motors will push all the oil into the top end in drag racing situations). Apparently it IS a bit of a thing with 1HD-T motors after they've been rebuilt too, they all seem to push a fair bit of oil out of the breathers once they've been cracked open from the factory. Its gone 150K kms since the rebuild now, and we've never taken that pipe back off to see if its still pushing as much or settled down, but its obviously not detrimental to the engine!
