One of the best setups i have ever seen thanks alot for this video

[@XploringOz]

Thanks mate, I appreciate it!

[@nicholasmeli6410]

Great stuff. Who makes the light fixture you installed on the tailgate?

[@XploringOz]

Thanks mate. These lights are made by a individual in Perth. He can be contacted via Facebook or email at: [e-mail] Cheers, Nathan.

THANK YOU FOR DETAIL VIDEO ON YOUR SETUP

[@Adjuminium]

Mint setup! I was wondering what the best way if getting supply up to the roof rack!

[@XploringOz]

Cheers mate. I've gone through the interior panels and then up through the factory grommets in the top section of the tail gate to get power up to the roof rack. I briefly showed this in the video at 11:56.

[@k2svpete]

@@XploringOz I asked the question of how you ran power up at about 11:52 😄

[@the.magnus]

Awesome setup mate

[@XploringOz]

Thanks 👍

[@philjo83]

Hey mate great video. Question do you have any more information on the airbag inflation kit you have in the back want to do something similar to my 200 thanks

[@XploringOz]

phillip moran Thanks mate. I haven’t done a specific video on this system as yet. Is there any information in particular you are chasing? Getting this kit fitted took organisation between the drawer builder, the ARB fitter I went through and Airbag man (where I sourced the inflation kit from). Great system and makes it soo much easier when connecting and disconnecting the caravan regularly.

[@philjo83]

@@XploringOz thanks for the reply. You kinda answered my question on where you got the kit from through airbag man I will have to look it up and see if I can find it for myself. Another quick question you mentioned you split your twin start batteries what do you use to link them together with the push button. Thanks mate

[@XploringOz]

phillip moran Good to hear. So I have a momentary switch by the drivers left knee that can be pressed to link the two batteries together temporarily to start the vehicle. The switch fits straight into the factory blanking switch. Is this what you were asking?

[@philjo83]

@@XploringOz yes it was wasn't sure if you were using say a redarc sbi smart solenoid or not

[@XploringOz]

phillip moran Yeah, no specific isolator. The function is incorporated in the Redarc BCDC unit itself. 👍

[@Muamir23]

Nice setup. The fuse box in the engine bay for your accessories. Which company is it??

[@XploringOz]

Cheers mate, this fuse setup was by Ultimate 4WD Equipment in Bibra Lake. Has been working well up until recently. Had a few issues that required quite a bit of re-wiring. I'll be doing a follow up video in the coming months. 👍

[@rickchavez2768]

do you lose the auto collision detector when installing the front bumper? Thank you

[@XploringOz]

Hey mate, so this model doesn't come with those options, so I can't comment on this unfortunately. These features only came out on the Landcruiser in mid 2015 and onwards.

[@mikekay213]

What a neat set up, looks like you researched a lot or watched a lot of modified to get it this special.

[@XploringOz]

Thanks mate. Yeah, there was a lot of pre-planning going on before mods started on this vehicle. This cruiser is my 4th modified 4WD and I knew what I want, what I needed and what was a little bit of over kill. Thanks for watching mate, Nathan.

[@colinbrodie4806]

Hi, Do you have a vid of how yopu changed over the door trim lights and the lights beside the roof mount video screen?? Any advice greatly appreciated, as I dont want to stuff up the changeover to STEDI LED's. I managed all the other changeovers except these.

[@XploringOz]

Hey mate, negative unfortunately that was one of those mod's I did before starting KZbin. The plastic covers should have a small cut out or indent where you can fit in a small flat head screwdriver. This will loosen the clip allowing the covers to come out and access to the lights. Hope this can help a little. Cheers, Nathan.

[@colinbrodie4806]

@@XploringOz Thanks Nathan, spot on. All sorted

[@bigfishfishing-111]

Nice setup Nathan. Can I ask where, and brand of left drawer switch power panel? Im having trouble finding ones I like. Cheers m8

[@XploringOz]

Hey mate, these panels are custom made by CustomInstallations as part of the drawer system. The new one they make are slightly different with logo embossing etc. Saying this, these ones here are just 3mm acrylic, which could be homemade yourself with a drill, jigsaw and maybe a grinder. I did a little coverage on plastic fabrication in the EGT gauge bracket in a previous video. You can also pick the acrylic up off eBay fairly cheaply in small quantities. Cheers,

[@bigfishfishing-111]

Thanks m8. Found one last night in the end👌

[@XploringOz]

@@bigfishfishing-111 Good news!

[@janethall148]

Hi Nathan, Was wondering what size cable did you run to the back of the car? Did you do a seperate run for fridge and rear anderson plug? Did you run two lots of 6mm2 from the start battery to your comprsssor? Thanks Eric. Really enjoy your vids, thanks.

[@XploringOz]

Hi Eric, so unfortunately I don’t have the specifications of the wiring used for this system. All the wiring was completed in one installation by Ultimate 4WD Equipment. These guys do some awesome electrics work and run a single comprehensive harness to the rear of the vehicle where it is distributed to all accessories. If interested, I’m sure Ultimate could answer your questions in regards to these specifics. Sorry I could be of more hope. Cheers, Nathan.

[@jasetr4181]

Awesome setup. Was it difficult to get the wiring to the rock lights?

[@XploringOz]

Thanks mate. I didn’t do it myself, however the fronts are fair easy to access through the bullbar and engine bay areas, however the rear requires the interior panels to be removed to gain access. I had all the panels removed anyway with all the other work that was done. 👍

[@jasonashton2009]

Hi Nathan, nice vid, are you still happy with the Optima deep cycle or will you be looking at something else when it comes time to replace? Thanks

[@XploringOz]

Thanks mate, glad you are enjoying the video. So yes, the Optima battery is still going strong and doing what it does best, however saying that I would definitely be tempted to try out a lithium setup for a replacement when it does finally give up. I'm not 100% confident in these for under bonnet applications, but wanting to test and try a unit to see how it goes. Cheers.

[@MrJohnmccrory]

Hey man nice rig , is that a Sahara ?? Where you get the little light on the tailgate from ? It seems to light up the boot well

[@XploringOz]

Cheers mate. Yeah the rear tailgate light works a treat and is a direct plug and play into the Sahara model. Brendan Bonser makes these lights and you can order them through his Facebook page: facebook.com/bonza86

[@neilhogan601]

Hi Nathan enjoy your reviews, wondering if you're able to purchase the power distribution box from Ultimate 4WD Cheers

[@XploringOz]

Thanks mate, glad you enjoy the videos. So last I heard, they were not offering the box as a kit as they wanted to keep the product local and in house to maintain quality control and reputation. This may have changed though, maybe worth a phone call to see their view now. Cheers

[@zoink134]

How did you mount the lights in the wheel arches

[@XploringOz]

Hey mate, these are just drilled through the wheel arches, sealed off and then the electrical wiring is mounted within the vehicle. Cheers, Nathan.

[@samuellim1554]

How are those lights mounted on to the rhino rack rail? Did you drill into the rail?

[@XploringOz]

They are, there are two small holes drilled into the mounting rack for each light. The cable just gets pushed through the factory gap. They are also mounted on 30 degree mounts to provide the correct angle of light for camping.

[@tallica8145]

Hi mate. Great videos. May I ask how much your dual battery and brake controller cost through ultimate 4wd? I’m chasing just dual battery and a couple of 12v plugs in the boot

[@XploringOz]

Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback. It would be very hard to distinguish the costs involved with just those components. I had so much work, both accessory fitting and electrical work done to the vehicle at the same time, not all elements of the install were singularly itemised on the invoice. I really would be guessing if I put a figure on it, however my experience with Ultimate 4WD has always been positive to date and they are great at replying quickly to quote estimates. Sorry I couldn't be of more help today. Cheers, Nathan.

[@calraymond7211]

hey mate where did you get your rear left side switch panel from?

[@XploringOz]

Hey mate, so both side switch panels were made by Custom Installations as part of the drawer systems . Cheers.

[@TURBOO92]

Whats the model of the STEDI that you use in the head lights?

[@XploringOz]

I can't remember the specific model, however when purchasing, I found the STEDI website to be very easy to navigate and select options for each specific make/model and spec of vehicle. Cheers, Nathan.

[@tanamite]

Great video mate! I’ve got the same model but haven’t started on the electrics yet so you’ve given me some good ideas thanks. Can I ask where you got the tailgate “plug-and-play” light from?

[@XploringOz]

Cheers mate, I bought that tailgate light from a member on the Facebook 200 series owners group. I’m sure if you jump on there and search for it, shouldn’t be to hard to find. Definitely a great little bit of kit 👍

[@Salty_2473]

Hey Mate Nice Rig, Can you tell me who did the wiring for your lighting?

[@XploringOz]

Thanks mate! All my wiring was done by Ultimate 4WD Equipment in Bibra Lake, WA.

[@crewzincool]

What did u use to wrap the wiring?

[@XploringOz]

I don't have the exact details of the product, as all the electrical work was completed by a fitter. However, it just appears to be a standard cable wrap. If I can get the details, I will forward them on. Cheers.
