What do you think about the build and do you have any questions even about some stuff I may not have covered? This is the happiest I've been about a build so far with the cruiser and after the short trip in the SW of WA I'm so sold on what I've done. It's so balanced and driving is a whole new thing now. Yes I have no awning but I never really used mine before and Yes cargo is limited somewhat but I'm towing on the bigger trips with either the boat, No5 or X2 trailer so storage I'm covered.

Hi Ronny, appreciate very much for sharing your experience with 4x4 enthusiasts. Couple of weeks ago I was with my mechanic and asking him to add some stuff for my LC and he looked at me with a smile and said to me "Osman... keep it simple" it really echoed into my ears, when the thoughts of modification comes to my mind the phrase keep on coming back to me, so I leave the desire to obtain them. Thanks heaps Jason (Total 4x4 Care, Seven Hills, NSW).

Very nice setup! As a former backpacker and drag racer, I am trained to pay attention to weight. I went as far as replacing the electric seat tracks with manual. The weight saved was equal to my basic hand tool kit, which now I can also stow under the seat. Paying attention to weight to this level allows me to stay well under limit, balanced, and have capacity for extra food/water/clothes/luxuries as appropriate for the particular adventure.

Build looks great Ronny. Weight is the enemy of a good overlander. Only thing I’d question is, without the awning or other shelter, how do you achieve a camp set up that lets you cook etc when the weather really turns the rain on and you don’t have the trailer? I guess it means that the trailer always goes with you when overlanding? Only problem there is that towing a trailer is also a weight, fuel economy and handling headache in my humble opinion having done a lap of Oz with one. Would be great to see how the camp set up goes when touring / overlanding without the trailer.

Hi Ronny one of the tricks I tell every one is to load your 4x4 with every thing you are taking on your trip people and all water, fuel, food and camping gear then drive down to a way bridge, when you come home way the stuff you are taking out to get your weight down under the max carry weight, over weight is the biggest problem I have found on the tracks with 4x4 busted or bogged so the best advice I can give any one about to take of into the outback is cut your weigh down. PS I tried putting my spare on the back and I had a major under steering on the sand dunes.

Ronny, I've noticed for a while your truck has been tail heavy. For that matter I notice that on a lot of Aussie rigs seen on KZbin. I believe much of it comes down to the rear axle placement on the Toyotas. In the US we are used to our trucks having longer wheelbase. Particularly, the rear axle / tires not being tucked up under the rear doors. It's all a matter of tradeoffs. Wheelbase / turning radius vs weight distribution. I am happy to see you modulating the truck config over time to address this as I have also seen the Nulon project to extend the wheel base on a 70 series to address the issue. I think you are going to enjoy the ride of your truck so much more now. Perhaps less front wheel lift, reduced rear axle damage and more stability and steering response on the track.
@joebeck3608
@joebeck3608 5 жыл бұрын
It's an issue with the dual cabs. I noticed in the Flinders video that Wayne and Torbs single cabs appeared to climb much nicer, whereas the dual cab is constantly lifting tyres. Too much weight past the rear axle on the dual cabs. But American pickups are very expensive and too big to fit in suburban carparks in Australia, so they aren't practical for everyday use. Dual cabs utes in Australia are trying to do everything so end up being a massive compromise.

@@joebeck3608 yes, I agree very much with you. The parking lots in the US aren't better...they've economized over the years. I have to be very strategic in trying to find a pull-through spot, but otherwise I've gotten used to shoehorning my truck in. I've seen the cost of the US trucks in Australia. You pay a premium to import them there + right side conversion. They are comparable to your 70 series cost here in the US, which is still high by most people's budgets. I always buy used, low mileage, highly optioned. Let somebody else pay the depreciation before me. I'm always modding anyway, which probably would void the factory warranty if I were to buy new. Anyhow, I still love the 70 series regardless. Wish that platform was available in the US.

I have bar work, carbon winch and skinny 33’s. Light duty Toyota alloy tray and basic camping gear. My mate’s ranger with a lot of fruit in his fibreglass canopy weighed 3380kg! 180 over his gvm.

That PDM system is very bloody kewl.....but too bloody complex my old (64) brain. I'd crash off the road trying to remember how many times I had to press each button to achieve a particular result. Great truck and i love the PCOR tray etc. I have a Silverado and the CSM aluminium canopy on it is pretty heavy (extremely well built!!). It was 750kg when I bought the truck. I removed the two swing arms off the back and went back to one spare (mounted inside the canopy). Removed the long rear drawer (it weighed 83kg including the frame it was housed in), removed the large pair of cross drawers (another 45+ kg) and the 3x 100ah AGMs the previous owner had inside (100kg). Replaced the batteries with a single 120ah lithium. Got rid of the two fridge slides with associated cages and replaced with a Engel "bar-type" fridge, saving another 60+ kg. All in all, I've reduced the weight of the truck from 4,650kg to around 4,300kg and I raised the GVM from 4,495kg to 5,171kg. Sweet!!

Regarding the tray - “you pay for what you get”. Would you personally recommend a PCOR tray for that price? I appreciate the position you are in and the opportunities to advertise and test products, however what is your unbiased view? Or has the possibility of unbiased views gone? With no affiliation with Patriot, would this be your preferred choice considering the price? Enjoyed the video either way though!

Looking at it from a weight distribution point of view, you have people doing chassis extensions on 79s in order to get some weight in front of the rear axle. I reckon you'd be looking at similar coin for the tray and you end up lighter overall, which is what Ronny's aim is.

Mr Dahl. How much fuel range would you have with the two big tanks? I would have thought a 1000k range would be a fit for most places in Australia. CSR aside. Do you fill them both up before a trip, and carry all that weight around when not really needed? Ok it’s a few questions, I am thinking of a long range tank myself but not sure if I really need it. Thanks. Skunks.

here you can go 1000ks without a fuel stop.you need at least a 1k range for desert trips.plus,the fuel outback can be shit.stop your vehicle.the tanks are old & rusty,you fill up just after they filled the holding tank,you get shit fuel..i have an f250 4.2tdi,145lt std tank.so i only need 2 jerry,s.i can fit std f100 tanks,in cab style,1 in cab,1 in tray,will give me 170lt all up,nothing under neath to puncture.or,leave the one under neath,that gives me 170 plus 145.how much fuel do you really need to carry.???.plus,it gets 13 lt 100..go jap,yehh..no thanks..

It's grouse beast of a truck. I would do one exactly the same. End of the day it's only money. You get what you pay for.. A smart man pays for quality, a silly man pays more in long run for crap. Good work.

Nice setup mate! Good to see some weight being shed. One minor correction though, the SPod system, at least some of them, don’t need fuses and relays, similar to the SwitchPros system, also from the US 👍

Good work. Lighter is better being heavy especially overweight affects every dynamic of a vehicle. Now you’ve just got to resist temptation of adding stuff back on. Can you loose more? Can you shift any weight forwards double cabs are always a bit of a pain with the weight being so far back

I Love Your ( what looks like ) Rhodesian Ridgeback Dog… I Love that Breed but unfortunately it’s very hard and expensive to get in the US, BTW I just bought a 2022 Ram 2500 Power Wagon and I can’t wait till I get it in Sept. But I’m new to Overlanding and Your Videos and recommendations have helped a lot.. Thanks and I’ve recently Subscribed ..👍🏻

That is a great comprehensive overview of your build! Also helps me a ton as I try and build on paper my future Tacoma :). Will take a million years of saving but I'll eventually get there...lol. Also, would love to see a comparison between your PDP Power Distribution Module and the Switch Pros 9100. While the S-Pod is loosely similar, the SwitchPro looks almost like an apples to apples comparison? Thanks for the awesome content!

Shawno Whale, did the same thing; went from a larger canopy with two spare tyres lots of weight over the rear to a tray back with a smaller dog-box, similar to this. Seems to be the way to go with the 79.

Without modifying the rear leaf springs and now without adding a GAL canopy how can you counter the bounce from the empty cabin?

Hey Ronny, you mentioned that you are not paid to keep gear on your cruiser but I wondered if you paid for all of this new gear yourself? I ask because in the past you have said you paid for your new gear (e.g. Jmacx diff) but you didn't mention it this time. Being someone who loves mods and thinking about what I want to do with my cruiser, it would be good to understand these types of things. Thanks.
