Tip for you seat-belt: Put a zip tie on the belt, when your start doing steep tracks, slide it up just before it locks out; that way whenever you get out of the car when your halfway up a hill, your belt wont be locked out and you will be able to put it back on. When your back in the car, slide it down so it works again in the (unlikely) event of a rollover/crash. When your on the road, slide it all the way down so the belt works like normal.

Thats a ripper tip! Definiterly have to remember that one! I dont like not having it on hey its like second nature to me to wear it!
@bluntobject40845 ай бұрын
as an older guy, its very interesting how you've mentioned a lot of the safety equipment (abs, airbags, seat belts ) not being there and/or working well, they were all starting to come in when i was younger and you guys sort of expect cars to have it where i still go oh that's nice i guess. turns out times and expectations of what is acceptable or safe in cars does change
@TJANDMAC5 ай бұрын
Yes ! Interesting point of view , how times have changed , considering the old American truck we are working on doesn’t even have seat belts 😅 new cars certainly have a lot more now

Yup, I own and ran a "86 FJ62 Sahara in SA on gas, for the last 25 years, converted more or less like yours, with over 700.000km on the engine, in Qld LPG is a problem, although i have made all the way from Cairns to Melbourne on the west side of the great devide on LPG. Usually on long trips in the outback I run petrol. Anywhere from 15 to 20L/100km at around 90 to 95 kmh, no roofrack, (petrol is usually cheaper than diesel) depending on conditions.(Long range tank or Jerries are a good idea! Lol) Hope you have many great trips with the sixtie mate, I am!! Nothing like the feel, the reliabillity and the simplicity of an old truck, like it a lot better than my other LX470 with all the gizmos in there.

Bro's! Put your seatbelt on then loop a zip tie around the belt close to the B pillar slide. Then when you take your seatbelt off on a hill, it wont retract. Meaning you can bang it back on when you drive off again. Then, when you are on road again you can slip the zip tie downcloser to the buckle and the retractomatic will retracto as normal.
