DIY KAON BASH PLATE INSTALL - 2022 TOYOTA FORTUNER - Should you install under vehicle protection?
มุมมอง 2.3Kปีที่แล้ว
In the next addition to my 2022 Toyota Fortuner build, I add the KAON High Performance Strenx® Under Vehicle Protection / Bash Plate. Optioning for the 3 piece kit to protect the front, sump & transmission. This is a super easy DIY install that anyone can tackle themselves and I believe you'd be crazy not to add this bit off protection and security knowing your vehicle is protected from underne...

An introduction to my new adventure vehicle and camera car, the 2022 Toyota Fortuner GX. Why did I buy a brand new car and more importantly why did I choose the Fortuner?

FLINDERS RANGES - A Weekend Escape!

My first trip away since being back home in South Australia and to say it was needed is an understatement. The Flinders Ranges is one of those places that you often forget how truly beautiful and magical it is until you are back there. I head away for a quick overnight trip with a good mate and his awesome little Hilux. Although this trip was for work purposes, it was great to get away, escape ...

    Hey mate, nice van. A 350a alternator is huge mate. That would draw 7hp from your engine to produce 350amps. Your fuel consumption will go up and the car would lose power. I would figure out a way to move those boxes on your roof, and coat your roof in solar panels. That is enough surface area to produce a lot of power. Get the 150amp alternator and you will be sweet. I also have a solar panel on the side of my 75 Series Landcruiser. It makes a difference. Adjustable angle when parked.

I dont know much about the cameras though, if you ever could do a detailed camera review sharing where i can get same models, lenses cause they are very confusing for me would definitely appreciate it.

    I think induction cooking is way too expensive for most campers that view these videos Most people start with a lithium battery and solar panel and a smallish inverter that runs a coffee machine and an air fryer Cooking on gas is what most already have as well I found using an air fryer is very energy efficient and is great for re heating meals etc Switching to induction is a big step up in $ If I was starting from scratch I would consider it If you’re using solar blanket’s there are much cheaper options than Redarc as they are easily stolen. A $2000 redarc blanket is a magnet to an opportunist
