Modifying my 4WD for Australia's Tough Tracks!

[@Jagermonsta]

kicks the shit out of the 4wd 24/7 builds! no over hyping things but genuine enthusiasm. great build!

[@fatmanoverlanding]

The DIY kings are at it again. Fantastic work and results. Love the B rolls you've included for the 70 Series. These little editing touches is what takes your episodes to the next level and utterly enjoyable to watch. Excellent work on the DIY. 👌👍

[@AussieArvos]

Thanks Fatman! Means alot mate!! Yeah it's got alot of history that ute! Cheers :)

[@leaf-]

@@AussieArvoshey mate I was just going to say I wouldn’t mind seeing more footage of the 75 if you have any haha

[@robertgeddes511]

That Guy who supplied the winch is very kind hearted to man to help you with projects.

[@AhhAkayeeGaming]

Another epic episode guys! What sets you apart from similar channels is when you install a new mod, it's not just thank the sponser and bolt it on. You fabricate the brackets, you strip and fit your own wiring and you bring us along for the ride. It's just like any backyard build we could do ourselves and this is what makes this great content for like minded enthusiasts! Looking forward to seeing it back on the tracks! 🚙🤘

[@AussieArvos]

Thanks mate! that really means alot!

[@swishswish386]

Another fab vid from you guys, bravo.👍👍👍 This is clearly and consistently the best and most realistic / practical 4X4 channel on KZbin… No agendas, bulls**t or boring know it all loudmouths, just a bunch of clued up young bloke having fun and living the dream… Keep doing your thing 😎

[@AussieArvos]

Thanks swish swish! Means alot as always!

[@adamcrowley8387]

It's been awesome to watch your beast come together and looking forward to see how it handles the tracks.

Great to see Liam. I'm looking forward to seeing your adventures in the mighty Patrol. Cheers mate

Thanks Jon! We can't wait! Cheers

[@WaitWhat99]

Awesome work guys! Going to ride mint! Only thing grieving me is the unpainted winch etc since you spent SO much time make the rest of the car look mint. Draws your eyes to it instead of seeing the beauty of the car as a whole (and shes bloody gorgeous!)

[@AussieArvos]

Thanks mate!!

Such a nice clean look and style. Nice work.. :) The white with the black is spot on. Will make anybody jello

Nice one!

Love your work! Great episode. Looking forward to seeing your beast out on the tracks.

Great job. George 4x4 does good fairleads and custom lengths of winch rope.

[@lukeharding5061]

Awsome video as always lads, that patrol is looking the shmick now, those toolboxes finish it off. That block and tackle set up youve got looks a handy piece of kit to have too. Keep up the good work boys

Awesome video, thanks Fellas. Would love to see you boys take on the cruiser repair

[@alanjohnston243]

Great work guys, when you get a weekend free you might want to take the winch back out and give it a paint, shiny black would really look the part …..safe travels guys 🍺🍺

[@AussieArvos]

Thanks mate! Too kind! We can't wait!

[@petermeeny1038]

When using cables with same colored outer , an idea would be to use colored shrink to show positive and negative.

[@Dokts13]

I'd be filing the burrs off and taping the lug before heat shrink too

[@AussieArvos]

Agreed, unfortunately I didnt have any red heat shrink in the right size but will sort it out soon!

[@simonpainter3486]

[@williamy641]

This thing looks awsome

[@louiskudlak2256]

Looking good buddy 👌

[@leopoldnine]

Do yourself a favour, dude. Put a few coats of liquid electrical tape on those fat cable connections for the winch. In my opinion, it's the best way to protect them from corrosion and accidental shorts. I think you guys are in the north Eastern suburbs so probably get it from jaycar in Eltham or ringwood.

[@cyclemoto8744]

Looks mint. Cheers

[@ianweal3081]

100% credit to you. The whole exterior now looks great, what's the word you youngens use "Mint" haha. Then you stepped inside, the internal dash top box just shone with excellence as well. You've earnt yourselves a beverage boys, Wealie.

[@aaronodguy967]

Car is looking mint! Think of sealing the windows on the cable lugs to reduce corrosion which will reduce the chance of hot joints.

[@AussieArvos]

Will be putting terminal covers on 👍

[@bears2604]

A few 1hz's. If it was a td42 it still be on the first engine 😂

[@The_ElunduExpeditionProject]

Your patrol is looking absolutely fantastic! Oh and I am so jealous of your winch, I can't find one anywhere here in decent condition and at a price that doesn't compare with a Ferrari spare wheel. 🤣🤣

[@AussieArvos]

Thanks mate! i also had trouble finding one at a decent price so was very lucky to be able to use this one!

[@rodneywilliams4024]

Great vids laddies, just a suggestion terminal boots might be a good safety for the winch. Keep up the good work.

[@beathunziker171]

Was just going to say that too, suggest to use Vaseline grease as corrosion prtotection on to the winch terminals and then slip on the rubber boots.

[@AussieArvos]

Thanks mate! Yes I've just ordered some online to protect the terminals

[@bigpete1]

Looks great! What are you doing with the tray? Canopy or tool boxes?

Canopy will be coming soon!

man i started to watch your videos and i have a 1997 holden rodeo 2.8 turbo diesel 5 spd manual 4wd and i want to do the same thing but i want to keep it mostly original on the outer

Lovin the way it looks but I think the battery cables needs to have conduit so it's not bright orange lol

I kind of don't mind the look, makes it look a bit comp truck style haha. Will have to buy some correct size conduit for them

VERY NICE! Do let us know the weight of the vehicle when you weigh it. It looks like you have kept the weight to a minimum with maximum off-road capability. Hit that sweet spot.

[@AussieArvos]

Will do! Interested to see a weight as it sits now, as well as once it gets a canopy and more touring mods!

[@tugboat8475]

Great video. What's your view on brand new Utes as in manual v auto. We went to the 4WD adventure show yesterday looking at so many set ups. I was thinking manual but so many sales people were recommending go automatic. Thanks

[@davidmilledge221]

The sales people probably never have driven a manual in their life they wouldn't know how one worked , I'd go manual your in control there stronger and easier to service and don't need transmission coolers , just don't tow in top gear 😉
