Aussie version of chris fix. Nice seeing an "influencer" whos not in it for the recognition personally by being in the video, but rather a guy whos letting his content do tha talking for him, and being the "star" of the show. Nice video.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Yep, not about me :)

[@dnoddy5085]

Great to see everything went pretty well, another great video and review

[@Seshonium]

Since i'm still waiting on my decibel comparison from the roof rack install, might be worth doing a total noise test with the rooftop tent on and all kitted up for bush? Would be good to see what kind of sound increase it is now compared to stock! Keep up the good work mate 👍

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Yeah nice idea, will do that on the next trip 👍 Re roof rack test? do you mean the off-road animal rack?

[@Seshonium]

Affirmative @@VideoShowMeHow

[@speeddemon4312]

Hi mate. There is a revised fuel hose out now in regards to your chaffing issue.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Yep 👍

[@kevhaynes5348]

Glad the breather tip helped you get through ok Was a bit late watching this vid As I was finally driving my car back home with its new gearbox Very lucky it was covered by insurance I get to finally was my car now as well

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Nice!! Glad you got it sorted in the end!

I want ask you , can you tow 2-3 t carvan by MUX ?

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Yes, of course depending on other luggage/people/etc you are carrying

[@منانت-ج1ك]

@@VideoShowMeHow okay nice but what about temperature of engine and gear when towing?

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Mine was fine towing 2.8t. There's a video on the channel about it if you'd like some more information

[@منانت-ج1ك]

@@VideoShowMeHow okay thank 🙏🏼

[@bellarinebotanical2843]

Hi mate! Im wanting to install the same canopy so thank you in advance for the how to video, just wondering roughly how much weight you would have had on the canopy all up eg. how many did you sleep etc? Thanks mate love the videos!

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Hey hey - reckon would have been around 120kg for the trip, 2x sleeping up top ~150kg

[@71Mudge]

Another great video. How did the bonnet protector go? Was it easy to install?

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Cheers. Seemed to do its job, bonnet stayed perfect 👍 Yeah easy peasy, just has these little clips that it screws into and some 3M tape

[@71Mudge]

Thank you

[@damo123]

Hay mate, you sure have some awsome videos with great information, I was wondering if you have done a video on installing the gearbox and diff breathers?

[@VideoShowMeHow]

No not yet, will be doing the full set though at some stage when this round of vids is finished :)

[@damo123]

@@VideoShowMeHow awsome I look farward to it

[@jasonknox1926]

Yeah, keen to see this too. Also, any reason you didn’t do breathers for the diffs ?

[@longstraightlines6747]

Nice vid thanks Adam. Just wondering if you've run your 'Max over a weighbridge fully loaded? It looks like it would be getting up there.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Yeah reckon would have been at gvm for the trip, taking over a weighbridge tomorrow actually will report back 👍

[@longstraightlines6747]

@@VideoShowMeHowthanks mate. I'll look forward to it.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Pic up shortly on yt/insta, did a tip run today with everything on except the rtt/awning, 2 people, full fuel and water and a tub full of rubbish - 2.84t

[@longstraightlines6747]

@@VideoShowMeHow Thanks for that Adam. Looks like you might have been close to 3t for the Cape (with awning and RTT) but at least you would have been under! Have you ever looked at a modest gvm upgrade with the Outback Armour suspension? I have the same (300kg constant) but when I installed 140L long range tank recently I'm right on the line with a 150kg tow ball weight (small off road camper) I have an ARB canopy and Ironman 270 awning but no RTT.

[@Lethal83]

Hey Adam, Loved the Cape series. In regards to the snorkel, did you think it was beneficial even just for the bulldust and giving the engine a bit of cleaner air?

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Yes, absolutely

[@robertarmbruster5650]

Thanks for another great video, all very interesting for me. How are your tyres wearing, I've just discovered my fronts wearing (2021 LSU DMax) on the inside edge after seeing a similar post on facebook. I also need towing mirrors and favour the MSA TM902's but I installed those bloody Ocam window weather shields that cover part of the mirror mounting - bugger. What size wire did you run to the DCDC charger in that rear box you have. I'm about to change the cable to 13.5mm2 for the rear 50A Anderson plug to power a BMS requiring about 25A.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Yes, have a pair of videos on exactly this out in the next week or two. 8 B&S for my dcdc (30amp victron)

[@robertarmbruster5650]

Look forward to it, thanks.@@VideoShowMeHow

[@captainsalty7777]

Thank you really helpful.

[@zacsmith3013]

Hey Adam. What spring rating do you have in the back? Were you happy with how it sat fully loaded with gear? I am thinking of the same kit.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Hey mate, upgraded to 300kg constants for the trip. Ran well fully loaded. Sits up a little when not in trip mode. Talk about this a bit more in the pre trip vehicle prep vid 👍

[@Caraminchia]

Hey Adam Did you use a rust protection product on the Chassis or body before embarking on the trip? If so what do you recommend? Cheers

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Hi, chassis is rust protected from factory, other than that I used some of that 4wd detail spray for the chassis and for the body just the standard detail routine

[@TheMrsorge]

hey mate how do you rate the ultra winch compared to the carbon? they look really good but no body seems to be running them.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Yeah so far so good, have it a solid workout on the Cape Trip, love the breather and solid warranty 👍 There's a full vid on it on the channel showing more detail

[@uzi17]

do you think you the 285/65/R18's would fit on a stock dmax with no lift?

[@VideoShowMeHow]

yes, I used to run them, there's a vid about it on the channel

[@thegriff9425]

Is there a link to the main video?

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Not out yet, but very soon ;) (is a HEAP of editing, bit of a different vid that usual this one)

[@D.s182]

Hey mate what’s the canopy you used?? Cheers

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Is a tradecap, there's a vid on the channel about it 👍

[@arronhyde]

To fit 285's on did you have to chop the chassis in the front?

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Chop the chassis?? Nope not needed for 285/65/18 (rim is +18) Even ran on the stocko rim no probs.

[@arronhyde]

Ahh i thought in order to run the fatter tyre you would have to chop out the body mount to stop rubbing on turns. Good to know.@@VideoShowMeHow

[@VideoShowMeHow]

+18/+20 is ok, I was sent 0 offset rims by mistake originally and they scrubbed like mad

[@arronhyde]

@@VideoShowMeHow ur lucky you have fenders. My 2015 Dmax LSU is just the body. Dunno if I could go that wide. I currently run 265/70/17 on stock rims. Would love to go to 285’S

Job well done.. Shame it's blue. 😆
