@@FORTUNER_ADVENTURES that is a very good question. I have tried to keep the weight down. Think the rock slider is 40 kg and the bull bar 50. Weight is a big enemy. Some rigs are just way overweight.

@4WheelingSA agree. I bought myself like a portable weight bridge to weigh my vehicles and caravan etc.for this purpose.. But by remov8ng that 3rd row seats you obviously also lost a few kgs

@ Cool! I recently did it as well, how much weight did you reduce it by?

@@4WheelingSA I will get those figures sometime and let you know.

@@FORTUNER_ADVENTURES cool!

@@johanwilken5406 Thank you. Comments like this motivate me to keep on going. I am glad it helped. Hope you have enjoyed the trip.

@@4WheelingSA Was a absolute blast, Went back now in January again but without the Trailer. Next time you there you have to stay a night or two at Uitspan plaas. Western side just after Baviaans Sleutel. Be safe, Cheers

@@NicolaasWolmarans it is the Stofpad Box Type rock sliders.

Thank you

Yes, it is an Exhaust Upgrade. I have installed the De Graaf Exhaust system. I did not mention the specific supplier as wanted the video to be about the concept of the modification and not the supplier (I believe this adds more value to you as the viewer). Hope it answers your question?

I prefer the ride over standard. It is firmer (make sense since you put in coils that can carry more weight). I have drive a standard Fortuner (rental) this week and prefer the ride in mine. You can feel the difference when you get the Fortuner to work hard (Load, towing, gravel roads, offroad etc). Hope this helps?

Thank you. There will be a new version (from Dec 2024) coming out within then next month or 2.

@4WheelingSA wonderful! Thank you

@@roadtotheroofofafrica So far I still am yes. It did solve the problem I had wen towing. It is much better.

@ done my first 1000km with the formula 4x4 when i saw your video and that it is available in SA and i have to say it is absolutely a great setup. Great videos!

@@roadtotheroofofafrica Good to hear it is going well. Over December I have completed a 3500 km trip to the coast. Handled the caravan well and the Sagging at the back was much less with the caravan in tow. Done a 4x4 trail with it as well and it performed great!

Thank you! 👊🏻

@@anthonyforgey3518 Thank you

@@kasperbester1766 Thank you. I am glad it did answer your question. Anything perhaps you still have a question on?

@@dcpowersacoza 100%, it depends on your use.

@@UnDEANiable Thank you. I am sure they do. On their website you can select your vehicle model to see what they have available.

@@jukaki9141 in the description and in an earlier video 👍

It is also disclosed through TH-cam, there should be a pop up during the video.

@@anthonyforgey3518 That is most likely why they ended up on the Fortuner. After I have seen how they perform.

@@TravelingFamilyFun Dankie. Vir interessantheid - Hierdie toets is op dieselfde roete waar die KO3 gelaunch is 😁

Laat weet ons asb

Couldn't agree more!

@@FORTUNER_ADVENTURES my other problem is where to store them if I take them out…

@4WheelingSA we placed them in those vacuum plastic bags and store it is the roof of garage...

@@FORTUNER_ADVENTURES you can somehow disconnect it, but then you need to remove the plastic of the door to get to it.

@@4WheelingSA I will check..

@@ishaqthkr cool

@@FORTUNER_ADVENTURES No, my steering wheel is still fine after almost 7 years. But it does not stand in the sun during the day often.

@@4WheelingSA thanks

@@FORTUNER_ADVENTURES Definitely do the exhaust before the remap. It takes heat (lower egt) away from the engine. Think around 10 kW and 20-30 NM. But I have not measured it. For me it is more about how it feels.

If you're remapping then you better change exhaust to save cost

@@ishaqthkr I have a 2017 Fortuner as well which runs well on its standard exhaust after remap over 60,000km ago... My 2x new 2024 Fortuners I am still deciding and researching.

@@FORTUNER_ADVENTURES new ones are already very capable compared to the stock 2017 one, remapping the 2024s and pretending to be stock while you make some big dogs sweat on the highway is a completely funny feeling, what i like about 1GDs is that their pistons aren't a weak link like the 1KD i have, but then 1kds crack pistons even when stock so i may as well enjoy the few KW i gained which i am. I made a comment that i have a 3" exhaust (no cat), a custom Airbox and a 150KW/430NM (at the wheels) remap, after custom Airbox i can barely touch 450°C (post turbo) on inclines, the car has run very cold especially after custom Airbox. Those stock airboxes are very restrictive, and i don't have a snorkel either.

@@FORTUNER_ADVENTURES if you're interested in power figures check out the Speedlab Channel remaps from Philippines.

@@T23gunny Maybe try a TWT? If not get in contact with De Graaf to refer you to a fitment partner.

@@richardwalsh5570 This is one of the older models and a manual. It does not have those power and torque number.

@@dougs_8862 Thank you

@@KabirDhupelia I did it directly at De Graaf. Best would be to contact a fitment centre close to you.

@ thanks! Found their website and sent them a message. All the best 👌🏽

@@KabirDhupelia great! Ask for Edu or Dewald. Thank you

Good review, would have been good if you took Dyno readings before and after….enjoy the car.

@ Thank you. Good point, but my aim was not figures, but a improvement in the ride if it make sense?

@@jacoklopper1733 Thanks Jaco. Will send you their contact number.

Wont do this again…

@@anthonyforgey3518 thank you. I can feel it yes. Will be interesting to see how it tows and to LR work…

@@UnDEANiable i can definitely feel the difference. I am pleasantly surprised.
