Looking forward to seeing the new caravan mate, and your right, absolutely hate the mud as well

[@DENMONKEY]

Soon real soon. Bloody mud

[@4bnewb969]

Looking forward to seeing the new camper. Based on the way you test gear, I’m sure you have investigated it thoroughly and given due consideration before taking the plunge and purchasing it Cheers

[@DENMONKEY]

I think I have. I have literally watched every video I can find on KZbin. There's not that many. I can't wait to get it and share it.

[@robbiecryer]

Thank's for your review Good on yahh Brett Thank's for sharing

[@DENMONKEY]

Always rely on you for a comment. Thanks robbie

Were those 3mm or 4mm Boos? I've had 4mm Boos for a while and just ordered the RHS to save some weight and also hopefully get some better airflow to the intercooler... The Kaon ones look great and I nearly bought them...

[@DENMONKEY]

3mm but the fuel tank one was 4mm i think . i had to go back and check the video . the kayon intercooler also has wings. I missed that in the video . those RHS are a nice bit of kit though

[@sovereignaussie8627]

Inverted the sump plate LOL wow. New Kaon plates look mint. Is anybody making the rear bar plates anymore? for protection against becoming a sand scoop?

[@craigvk2paw17]

Strap looks familiar

[@DENMONKEY]

got it at the right price

[@kingmarz3635]

Cool video Really like your truck, it’s world class and I love the turbo flutter sounds it makes. Did you upgrade your turbo! If so what did you get. Nice to see you go hard on the tracks and don’t pussy foot it. You’ve seen me Pajero videos haven’t you?

[@DENMONKEY]

its a garret tdx. with the tune as well, its a different car to drive. I do love having a go and the pajero is yet to not make it up anything I point it at. More flex would be nice but I'm confident in its abilities. I was thinking about hard pipes like yours too. you have beautiful scenery there

[@paulp6386]

Love the videos Brett. Quick question. Why didn't you drive 1 metre forward so you were under the carport and didn't get wet 😋

[@tonygersbach375]

Thinking maybe carport height is an issue when up on the ramps

[@DENMONKEY]

ah, I'm not as stupid as I look. It wouldnt fit under the carport once up on the ramps with the cb antenna on the front. I know...i looked :) so I could either get it under but not on the ramps or ramps and get wet. the water runs under the carport from the backyard anyway., so no winning really.

[@DENMONKEY]

yuppers. the antenna on front ]

[@mini696]

I don't do mud either - Hate it because I cant see in it.

[@DENMONKEY]

egg zachery. and its rubbish to get off when you get home. nice to wear as a badge of honor on the way home though., It tells others, I USE my 4wd :)

[@allanpower8041]

Hi Brett If the KAON's are lighter than the BOOS plates, does that mean they are thinner ans perhaps not as durable as the old ones?

[@darrenc4096]

Apparently not. Due to the type of metal Kaon have used and their design they are light yet extremely tough. Many people have them in the Prado community and swear by them. 🍺

[@4bnewb969]

I think Some of the Kaon bash plates are made from StrenX, which has a higher yield strength than mild steel and is lighter. Not sure about the Pajero’s though

[@DENMONKEY]

I have no idea Allan but the guys below seem to have some insight. I guess I will find out

[@karl4834]

Gee, at 10:00, you're kind of hard on the gear, eh? 😉🤣

[@karl4834]

FYI, I have the same side-steps/sliders, so you've given me a fair bit of faith of how tough they are.

[@DENMONKEY]

That's exactly what I put them on for. ok maybe not exactly but they certainly give me confidence to head down trails littered with branches knowing those loud bangs arent anything to worry about.

[@DENMONKEY]

well.....i didnt bend it . funnily enough it wasnt the hard stuff that did it. bloody mud

[@karl4834]

@@DENMONKEY All good. You're exactly right, that's why we add these protections. Mission accomplished. That my accusation got a rise and response... mission accomplished 🤣🤣🤣

[@karl4834]

Love your getting out there and doing stuff vids, so more power to you!

[@OnCountryWithMick]

We know you love the Mud Brett, stop pretending you don't lmfao. Also you are more than a little bit different lmfao. Kaon ones do look pretty good, I thought about them but ended up going the BushSkinz as I like their looks more. Lucky you didn't snap any of those old bolts when removing them. I snapped one of mine holding the front plate on. Pain in the rear and meant I had to re-tap the damn holes. I do like that the Kaons are recessed into the plate rather than exposed bolt heads.

[@DENMONKEY]

That rivnut got me 4 years or so I think of punishment. hope this one does the same. although I think I might back off the harder stuff and do more touring with the new camper when I get it.

[@OnCountryWithMick]

@@DENMONKEY mine has a thread inside, not a rivnut but maybe I should get some and fix the stuffed holes.
