I wish more utes came coil rear, unless you always have a huge weight, coils are king!

[@flickinlures]

Just got home from work , seen the new notification , grabbed a beer and watched every minute .Well done mate your productions just get better by the week , i don't own a Navara but again i watched every bit of the 15.54 mins of this latest upload and you are editing these clips so well and giving such an honest and descriptive account of everything you film its always a pleasure to watch .Keep it going Tyler :)

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, I appreciate the feedback. Glad you're enjoying it

[@Wolf4wdadventures.576]

I really like these D23's... Love the coils rear end set up.... yours is flexing very nicely.

[@TylerThompson90]

thanks mate!

[@bookrielly4654]

That setup is bloody awesome

[@louiskudlak2241]

Great stuff buddy, with 33,s/rear locker/lift and sick suspension your 4wd is a weapon, plus your not bad driving 😂😂😂

[@rothburger]

Phwoar she’s got some Flex alright!!! Love ya content mate especially when I see ya Dad after a good track, His smile is a thousand miles wide😁 Very cool indeed,,

[@tedo1634]

Hi Tyler l did rear axle similar at my 2018 Prado 3 years ago and l’m happy. Have a nice day.

[@TylerThompson90]

Yeah awesome mate!

[@mikemorgan4670]

Nice upgrade. The Nav just gets better and better.

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate!

[@petersomani1580]

hi Tyler , nice explanation about ur suspension look good awesome for travel at rear . the sensor is to adjustment for the front head lights to low the low light ,when the tray is loaded and full with stuff low so will adjust and low the h/lights alignment .

[@TylerThompson90]

thanks mate, appreciate it

[@samartz]

Great vis! Hope u get 100k subscribers soon!

[@4WheelingInNSW]

Great clip again mate. I think you’ll find if your Nav’ has factory fitted LED headlights, that would be what your sensor is for. Because LED’s are so bright, they must always remain properly aligned otherwise they can be quite dazzling and blinding to oncoming traffic. Hence why it’s illegal to just go and throw a pair of eBay special LED gloves in cars that weren’t factory fitted with them originally, because they often can’t be adjusted properly nor do they have the required headlight washer jets as required under the ADR. Good stuff mate, keep up the great work 👍👍

[@Ronhickmott]

Have you looked at putting on a front diff drop kit? You can fit big tyres with standard suspension, then you can set your suspension up with more wheel droop and better handling on and off road.

[@dsw9670]

I’m jealous, I need to work on my leaf spring for more flex 💪🏻

[@alanheather8441]

Great video Tyler

[@TylerThompson90]

appreciate it!

[@FlatBrokeAdventures]

Cool thanks for sharing Tyler much appreciated mate

[@TylerThompson90]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@geoffodger]

Love the Italian hand signals describing the suspension 😂

[@TylerThompson90]

😂😂

[@reeltomeal]

Good vid. I was thinking you could try a rubber hose surround on your rear braided lines to help with the knocking 👌

[@terryoleary5424]

Cool thanks I’ve wanted to know about that for a while

[@jameskeegan]

Add an anti-chafe guard to your brake lines. Might help with your concerns of rubbing. Spiroll is a good brand. Great video, awesome flex

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, I'll look into it!

[@fergo7010]

That will work good stuff Tyler👍✌

[@TylerThompson90]

Yep!

[@HappyGoTravel]

some electrical conduit or hydraulic line wrap for the brake lines will help them last longer

[@lyleneumann2245]

Great flex now. I had to do a coil conversion on my Ranger to get it to flex and what a difference that has made. Similar flex to your Nav I think.

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate!

[@mrchams]

Tip with your braided lines at the back, get some fuel hose, cut it down the centre length ways and push it over the braided lines, if the fuel hose slides or moved over the top use 2 cable ties either end. It will be quiet and also protect

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks for the tip mate!

[@creepingdeath4794]

Just ordered exactly the same tray and canopy setup from gworks for my Navara. 👍

[@y_blood3133]

How much is that costing?

[@TylerThompson90]

Awesome mate!

[@OverlandUnknown]

love the vid mate, i also have a np300

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@jonathanmcdonald1101]

Love your channel mate, but cracks me up that the flex in the first 15 seconds is all solid rear axle flex (not the IFS)... But keep up the great work

[@bluedunn374]

Happy the MUX is like this stock

[@yourmotherlovesit]

The other reason you will need longer bumpstops in the rear is because the shocks will bottom out before the bump contacts if they are 700mm. mine are like 650mm and if it i take the springs out and rest it on the bumpstops the shock only has about 10mm of shaft showing Also with the front, you have the balljoint offset towards the front of the car by the looks, ideally you want to have it towards the rear, gives positive caster, better stability on the road and the wheel will want to return to centre

[@BurnBoy143]

Deffs buy the head light adjuster bracket. Makes a massive difference. When your lights are on, go out the back and push on the arm, you will see the projected light slowly aim upwards

[@TylerThompson90]

Okay cheers!

[@timbeevornation]

Tyler - speaking honestly how does it handle on the road now you’d but the 4 inch shocks in. Also how does it feel on off camber tracks?

[@DiHandley]

Geez Tyler do you ever sleep?! Absolutely smashing them out! 😂👍

[@TylerThompson90]

haha, nope! Thanks mate!

[@MH-ls1xi]

Tyler, spiral wrap your brake lines and they won't rub. And get the outback armour bump stops

[@TylerThompson90]

Okay thanks mate! Ill check them out

[@bez2992]

Wrap the brake lines in spiral wrap so then the spiral wrap rubs instead? then it rubs through? then you're back to square one. The brake line needs repositioning and/or securing somehow. That is very poor how it is currently.

[@DougAskin]

I think that lever thing you mention at 12:00 is for the brakes and it gives more braking force to the rear brakes when it's loaded.

[@TylerThompson90]

Yeah okay well if its that I better get that extended bracket for it! haha

[@DougAskin]

@@TylerThompson90 I wonder if you could have it connected to a cable and a lever inside? talk to a mechanic

[@bez2992]

Tyler is right with what he says in the video. The lever is for auto adjusting headlights, as the vehicle is loaded or unloaded the headlights will obviously point upwards or downwards accordingly. Not to be confused with a brake proportioning valve (what you are suggesting) Brake proportioning valves are used on older, non-abs equipped vehicles and as you say, decrease/increase brake force depending on load, however are a mechanical system. Will be very obvious as it will actually have brake lines coming in and out of the valve and not just a sensor as you see here. As you said Tyler it might not be very obvious that the headlights are functioning any different, but getting a bracket will get them working properly again. 👍

[@bez2992]

@@tomschannel5380 What vehicle would that be? All new vehicles have abs, in which case the wheel speed sensor does it's job perfectly.

[@bez2992]

@@tomschannel5380 What Mazda? Recent model as well as current model bt-50s don't (same class of car as Tyler's) So I'm just curious. I'm not set on proving anyone wrong, but I can put the correct information out there if people want to hear it. Or people can add a bracket to their headlight levelling sensor and expect the brakes to work better... doesn't bother me.

[@triggerdose]

Italians need the hand signs good stuff mate

[@TylerThompson90]

Yep 😂

[@shaunmccaw2911]

Some bit of kit 👍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Malc664]

Where's the little vegemite? Solid axle 70's don't flex much do they? The 80 can though for sure. We need Navaras or coil conversions.

[@bratzzz6217]

Tyler you are a grizzly Adam look alike! 😂 that beard mate Amazing! 👍

[@TylerThompson90]

haha, thanks mate!

[@jbjb3372]

Seems like there's a lot of lines out the back that could be easily caught by sticks etc and be pulled out?

[@Doviruses.existbaileyonodysee]

To a place like frazer. . . the 30" tyres are the biggest i can legally put on. i think 32 would fit though. as an alt Would an inexpensive china e;locker make a difference on stuff like soft sand?

[@0ptimus01]

Hi mate, Im saving up for a lift atm. Ive decided on Fulcrum Formula 2". I was going to go with the Superpro adjustable UCA's. I see you say you wouldnt again go that way. Can you recommend an alternative?

[@adamposadas4163]

Geez she's well set up now.

[@TylerThompson90]

Yep pretty happy with it!

[@mrdonny3501]

Put some Electrical split tube over your brake lines. Helps save your brake lines.

[@mountainconstructions]

Yeah Baby

[@AlexPleitez]

Do you know if it’s possible use rear patrol shock ? For navara d23 ? And what patrol year ?

[@discovering_wa7890]

Hey mate, just wanted to say love your videos and have gained a heap on knowledge from them as I have a 2017 St-X. I have a quick question for you. have you done anything in regards to your front or rear sway bar ands the links? last weekend went out and somehow managed to pop the ball out of the socket on my front left sway bar link. cheers dude

[@TylerThompson90]

Rear sway bar is currently out and front is just factory

[@discovering_wa7890]

@@TylerThompson90 thanks a lot dude. for your daily driving do you reconnect the rear sway bar or just leave it out?

Hey mate, love your work! What wheel make and size are you running? I am finding it difficult to find good looking rims and yours look great!

IFS belong on cars

Did you it engineered or not worried about legal and insurance ? Brake lines, trailing arms, panhard rod are some of the changes that should be engineered
