Ollaaaa ma dudes! Thanks for the support yes I didn’t remind tj to take out the kincrome giveaway! Also secondly axles are 300m rcv axles not crhromoly! 💪🏼💪🏼

[@jase6827]

Nice one lads. Don't get too over whelmed of the succes and change how you do things. Reason why have been watching TJ for last 8-10 years

[@TJANDMAC]

Thanks for that!

[@blehbleh222]

Love the longer length videos!!!! Plus the editing is epic 🤘🏽

[@TJANDMAC]

More to come!🙌

[@md_muzza1294]

Enjoyed this style of video, a bit of shed life and outdoors. Can’t wait for the tassie trip

[@MrJustos85]

Hey Macca, just FYI, I was running 140W in my Patrol with Harrop lockers . I had issues with the oil viscosity making the locker engage when cold in the winter months here in Brisbane. Spoke to Harrop and they recommend an 80/90 gear oil. I changed mine out and stopped the problem.

[@macpreston]

Copy that thanks mate! No dramas as of yet!

[@christophergrauer9873]

@@macpreston Hi Macca, can I suggest that you follow the manufacturers spec for oil.. it is very important. Oil is not just a lubricant, It is also a buffer. The " W " is the buffer thickness amount. A 79 series requires 75w - 85w NOT 140w. Some front and rear diff"s use different oils. I hope this helps.

[@shanenorwell8580]

Honestly one of my favourite channels guys, love how Mac is totally not arrogant and happy to learn and have a crack. Nice work guys.

[@TJANDMAC]

Much appreciated!

[@garyd3758]

Genuine appreciation for this episode guys. Very informative and good production. Black Betty is just stunning to look at and under her dress it's even sweeter.

Thanks mate !🙏

Fuarking Oath Lads, Another week, another cracking ep!

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Macca & TJ, went over to Kincrome and sub’d, couldn’t find the comp form but joined up to the blue blood while I was there, the manual hubs are a good weak point, rather blow that then an axle or centre, can’t wait to see what happens in Tassie, it’s gunna be wild I reckon, top job as always mate, cheers

[@TJANDMAC]

Thanks matty ! Yeah we stuffed up so sorry dude Comp finished the day this went live

[@geofftuck7347]

Awesome video boys, super informative. Good move going to the manual hubs, those auto hubs just give you grief. Can’t wait to see the black truck in the Tassie west coast! Have a great trip legends 🤙🏻

[@eudog8108]

First episode I’ve seen and impressed by the ‘have a go’ attitude as I’m not a mechanic and nervous about breaking this stuff on the tracks. Been needing to learn this for a while so I’m gunna keep watching you guys.

[@mikemorgan4670]

Great episode. Nice work on difs n hubs Mac, no spit required🤣. 'Kidchrome' eh? That was witty, bet the sponsor loved it!!!

[@tomwhelan7901]

If you take the hub off and take the circlip off the cv and unbolt the brake calliper then you can just undo the kingpins and slide the hole lot off then you don't have to fuck about with the wheel bearings saves you alot of time

[@macpreston]

Ah yep very good idea to! I was changing stub axles anyway but learnt heaps!

[@ethanbg26]

Gonna get portals soon?

[@callumodeadizzlydizdizzle3969]

No need to do heat cycles or pre oil the gears before install, they will get lubed backing it off the hoist 👌 good job though king

[@pullingguard1527]

Can someone tell me whether or not it’s viable to tour a lap around Australia in an LSA Patrol? Really considering buying one, or should I just go diesel all the way and buy a boring prado or hilux or something. Cheers legends. The more info the beyyer really need it. Cheers.

[@macpreston]

Anything’s possible mate! One thing we’ve just found is unleaded 98 is hard to find in west coast of Tasmania! Other than that should be fine. Also water can be an issue!

I use the penrite pro gear.. full synthetic in my diffs.. just a personal preference though.. the weight of the oil depends on the tolerances, climate and operation is what I got told by the company called strange.. they build centres for drag racing... On another note.. loving the content lads keep it coming.. maybe hit up penrite for some sponsorship🤷‍♂️

Great info mate! Cheers 💪🏼

toyota do a factory 8 speed auto, from v8 prado, surely that would have been a more natural option? Either way it has transformed that truck!!
