That’s what it’s all about! Good friends/people having a laugh putting shit on each other and getting the job done. Enjoyed watching 👍

[@JafffaAdventures]

Thanks mate, you are spot on. Half the fun is just spending time with mates and shit hanging😎👍

[@MudducksTouringAustralia]

I remember doing that to my old 80 alone on the ground lol. Your ways much more fun. Cheers Steve

[@JafffaAdventures]

I hear ya Steve, I did mine on my back in the dirt and bindies as well, not fun. Thanks for sharing 😎👍

[@jacobdavidson9413]

Thanks again Terry, shouldn't be running out of fuel on this trip 😎👍

[@JafffaAdventures]

My pleasure Jacob, and you will indeed have enough go go juice. Now the Diamantina River just needs to drop so we can actually get out there😉. Can’t wait mate, it will be epic😎👍

[@LimestoneCoastCustoms]

Way to go! Get a group of mates together for a job, they do all the work, you just film & commentate (OK, so you operated your hoist🤣)

[@JafffaAdventures]

That’s it exactly Rod, and I am pretty sure I got a blister from the up/down controls on the hoist, it’s a tough gig😂. Thanks for watching mate 😎👍

I'm jealous a Diesel 80 series! We yanks on the other side of the big pond only get petrol units. How many liters is the new tank

[@JafffaAdventures]

I know aye, I don’t know why Toyota never brought out the diesels in the US🧐. It’s a 180 litre tank plus the 90 litre factory main tank fixed a total of 270 litres. That’s a couple thousand km range on the highway 👍😎

[@thirdtimeround-chromenomads]

yet annother great use of our Ryobi products. you're a good man Terry

[@JafffaAdventures]

Thanks Frank, loving the samurai😎👍

[@thirdtimeround-chromenomads]

hey mate! I haave some 'merch' I would like to send up to you. Do you have a P.O. Box or ?

[@JafffaAdventures]

That’s very kind mate. Drop me an email Frank and I’ll send you the details. My email address can be located on the Jafffa Adventures KZbin home page👍😎

[@crispyinasia61]

Hey Terry do you have a video for when you added the 180 litre Longranger to your 200?

[@JafffaAdventures]

No mate, I did not have a channel back then. There only video in the library is this one where we installed one into Jacob’s 80 Series. Cheers

[@YoYoYoman45]

Well done........just curious, did you lose any ground clearance with your departure angle?......have been pondering a long range tank......I currently have shares in jerry can manufacturing companies though, so........ You can get away with some planning, prudent driving and luck with jerry's, but I reckon your option, or a mixed option, is best Also....sorry.....if you use it as an everyday drive, what is your optimal fuel fill?.......could put strain on suspension over time being constantly close to full? Would be greatly appreciative of your feedback. Cheers.

[@JafffaAdventures]

Good questions Ross. I did not lose any ground clearance, I actually gained some because the underslung Toyota spare hangs lower than the long range tank that takes its place. My optimum fill is full. I live in Qld where condensation is prevalent. If the tank is left low during periods of condensation, that water ends up in the fuel and that’s not good of course. A full tank means condensation cannot form. I do not worry about the weight on the suspension as I have heavy duty rated springs to compensate for the load. In addition, I have air bags in the coils to support them as well. Cheers👍😎

[@JoshuaDiamente]

Great video, thank you! Quick question for you, is this a 1HDT or a 1HD-FT 80 series? I have a 1HD-FT 80 and I cannot get any concise information from anyone as to how the sub tank functions. I have been told: - You always need fuel in the sub tank because the engine cranks from the sub then switches to the main. - The sub does not pump into the main, they are independent - They are independent but the sub tank will only work once your main tank is below 1/3rd empty I cannot find an owners manual to explain it either though I have tried. Once when the main tank was low I put the sub tank on and after 10 minutes the main tank was back up to 2/3rds full and the sub tank was empty. I thought this meant it must be pumping into the main, but it ran independently everytime since then and now the solenoid has failed so it's getting fixed. Sorry, bit of a drawn out and random question but how do the sub tanks work on this 80 series? And do you happen to have a copy of the owners manual? Thanks heaps for the video.

[@JafffaAdventures]

The vehicle is a 1HDT, but the FT and 1HZ fuel systems are all identical. The switch on the dash operates a solenoid that allows fuel to be drawn from one tank or the other. If you have it on the main, it draws and returns from the main. If you had ebit on the sub, it draws and returns from the sub. There is no transfer pump to pump fuel from one tank to the other. That’s how they came out of the factory. If yours is different, it’s been modified in some way. Cheers

[@JoshuaDiamente]

@@JafffaAdventures thank you!

[@JafffaAdventures]

No worries mate 😎👍

[@gemetzger00]

Would your buddy who did the tank swap happen to be selling the old stock tank?

[@JafffaAdventures]

He still does mate. He said you can have it for $100 if you want it. Cheers👍😎

[@terryburnham727]

Yes 1 click on the drill chuck and good to go .

[@JafffaAdventures]

Well there you go, confirmed. I learned something new that day. Cheers😎👍

Man that's a tidy 80👌

[@brissieboy]

I think you are required to have a mod sticker for this, although few DIY people seem to bother. Also insurance should to be advised or they will have a gotcha if you ever try to make a claim.

[@JafffaAdventures]

Both very food points Trevor, thanks for sharing 😎👍

[@HammerRocks]

Well done gents. Jacob's lucky to have a bunch of guys like you to call as friends. This is of great interest for me, as I am planning to tackle the Simpson Desert next year, and my biggest concern is not having enough fuel. I have a petrol 80 Series Landcruiser, and with 145L onboard fuel (main + subtank) and with an average sand/dune fuel economy of 30L/100kms, I am going to fall short with fuel covering the distance between Mt Dare and Birdsville. Which means, having to carry at least 2-3 jerry cans (40L-60L) of fuel - something not ideal. So fitting a long range tank looks like is my only option. Would you know the capacity of the new tank?

[@JafffaAdventures]

Thanks for the kind words mate, I sincerely appreciate it and I’m sure Jacob does as well. The new tank is 195 litres and it replaced the factory 45 litre sub tank. So his fuel carrying capacity is 195 litres in the new sub, and 90 litres in his original main tank, totalling 285 litres. Using your economy figure of 30l/100km, that would give you just under 1000km total range, well and truely enough to do the Birdsville to Mt Dare run. Cheers😎👍

[@FlatBrokeAdventures]

Thats a mod that I want/need to do on my car. I don't know what's going to cost more the new tank or filling it

[@JafffaAdventures]

That’s for sure mate🤔😬. Thanks for watching 😎👍

[@holgermuller2987]

The new money grave nowadays wa…. 190 ltr sub…. Have a good one Cheers

[@JafffaAdventures]

Thanks mate, yes just shy of $400 AUD to fill😬

@@JafffaAdventures Luckily I don't live in the real world and I'm not surviving. My spirit was smashed years ago. I exist in a bubble.
