Yeah it's 2.71 ton but I haven't weighed the axles separately since before I started modifying it. Original front was 1340, rear 1020.

No guides will go up during the day. You'll be stinking hot, would not be as good either the views. A lot of the guides have other jobs during the day.

Nah most stuff is ok if you're used to using tools, but it's worth knowing how hard to go on it even if you don't have a torque wrench. Like with some suspension parts that are over 200Nm it's good to know that you should be using a long breaker bar with lots of pressure for example.

@@TheBrowneTown yeah was going to say that you’d know how far is pretty good

I do find it useful for low torque things with gaskets, like the transmission case. Makes sure it doesn't get over tightened. Most other stuff you just need a rough idea of how hard to go. Exhaust should be redone after a few heat cycles as the bolts will loosen.

Glad to hear it, most cars have similar designs so the setup should be similar for you.

Double check your sizing, you might need to go the next dye down. Automotive sizes are often not quite a match for metric lugs so for example it will be 31mm instaed of 35mm².

Glad to help

Still enjoying it, I think I basically sized it up ok as far as the springs go so it seems to be doing ok, not too stiff on the rear. Not sure what OME has but what I have has adjustable bypass, but not separate control for rebound and compression just one overall control point that works well.

The support is useless and is easily the worst part about T'eyes. Mike is still going strong though. Not perfect but it does what I needed and is priced right.

No dramas

No dramas, hope it helps.

Thanks

Glad to help :)

Agreed. Their argument would be that they consider this a non-serviceable item but that's ridiculous for a red that gets worked hard off-road or when towing.

Saves Ford 5 cents =costs customer at maintenance time . Think about its all about themselves clearly the customer is 2nd in priority.

Sorry mate but an SD card reader in what?

Cheers, glad to help.

Small amounts are apparently normal but if you see large chunks that are easy to grab in your fingers that might be more concerning.

Cheers, hope it helped.

It's a sticky back 10mm thick one from Clark Rubber. Not sure if it made a difference because I did it straight away when I bought the canopy. So I have nothing to compare it to 🤷‍♂️

Nah my car is 2015 so there's no DPF on this. It goes from the turbo back. I did get an engine tune done later down the track as well.

Yeo as long as you do minimal holes it will all be fine.

First time is always the hardest, after that it's a breeze! 💪

Hey mate, where was this? I didn't get stuck anywhere on this trip thankfully!

Thanks mate 👍

Cheers mate 👍

Cheers, good to know. I've always cut back into the main road.

I use ExplorOz, but often I'll also download things on google maps to work offline and I do carry a paperback nap in case they fail. I've seen that robe to beach port on TH-cam and would love to do it one day when I get around to doing the lap.

Where were your comments? On a forum? I haven't looked very hard but haven't seen any comments about the poly tank failing but I've seen a fair few about the steel tanks. Plus the benefit of halving the weight. Just a shame there aren't any drain plug so hopefully I never need to drain the diesel.

@@TheBrowneTown I commented on the one of the Canning Facebook forums, not here.

Sorry to say man but I've got no idea. Not a mechanic, I'm just a guy that has a crack at some stuff.

Thanks mate.

Thanks mate, hope you like the rest of them.

Hey mate, if yours is the same as mine you'll need to tap into the camera feed in the rear view mirror and take it down with a cable. I have another video about moving your camera feed from the rear view mirror that has all the details for it. You can move it completely from the rear view mirror or wire it so it appears in the rear view mirror and the head unit.

@@TheBrowneTown Thanks mate, I have 2018 BT50 had a factory Alpine head unit the reverse camera displayed onto the head unit. just don't know how to located the feed.

Ahh ok, I would have thought the factory one would have an existing RCA plug that needs to be plugged into the T'eyes reverse cam RCA plug (I think it was yellow) that's on the back of the unit. Mine was labelled, all the connectors in the wiring loom. The wiring loom has a small white clip with pins that connects to the back of the unit.

@@TheBrowneTown That would be nice, but i think its hard wired there in no RCA port on the back of the old unit. If i cant locate the feed I'm not sure what to do other than feed and install a new camera.

Hey mate I've got a video about the T'eyes unit install.

There is a button for "screen-off" that just makes it all go black and everything keeps playing.

No dramas, good luck

Rear has brake drums. I haven't changed them.

I don't think it does dim actually but I have all my apps in dark mode so the screen is mostly black for me (Spotify or maps) so I never really notice.

@@TheBrowneTown and your still happy with it and how it operates ?

@chrisp7179 yeah I am but it's not perfect. I just wanted Android to run apps without car play or android auto and I wanted storage. I have a few shortcuts set up which makes it way better. I just wish my centre button steering wheel control worked but it doesn't and the phone charging is shit when it's hot it doesn't charge. Still wouldn't change it though.

@@TheBrowneTown yeh ok that’s fair enough. It seems no matter what one you look at there is always features that aren’t so good and some that are. No one seems to make the perfect unit. And getting something that is plug and play with no hassles.

@chrisp7179 yeah no perfect units yet. But this one is better than a lot of the ones which cost more.

I like the reverse one for every day driving, but I do need to upgrade it soon as I can see it failing permanently one day. I don't regret the forward facing dash, it's just uninteresting and something has to be last 😛

@@TheBrowneTown My wife had one of those Viofo forward mounted dash cams. Unfortunately the only time we needed it was recently and it had become disconnected. The screen is small and goes blank shortly after startup so she didn't know it wasn't working and we didn't get the evidence we need. D'oh! I like the mirror-type dash cams as you can see immediately if they are working or not. -Just my two cents. My lowest rank item would be an Ultragauge Bluetooth OBD. What a supreme piece of crap. Eh, you live and learn...

@garysheppard4028 what happened with the Bluetooth OBD ?

@@TheBrowneTown Although the bluetooth connects, the software of the device recognises hardly any systems within the Triton. It's pretty useless. I think it would be fine for an American truck but for something outside that market it is hopeless.

Cheers, haven't tried Bluetooth OBDs.

Yeah it's hard to find out the truth, I'll run with it and see how it goes.

Be nice if it had a sump plug.

@@TheBrowneTown and a proper dipstick and place to fill accessible under the bonnet.

Yes even better. I could be wrong but I believe there might be aftermarket pans with sumps. If I had a sump I'd still not be changing it too often, maybe every 100k

It is true that to do it without having to drill a hole then you would have to remove the dash. You can do it this way to save money, maybe even ask the dealership to do it this way if you really wanted? Most people don't have the time or patience for removing the dash for an issue which is likely to pop up again and again because the part itself seems dodgy.

Thank you 👍

Like a volume controller?

I ran cables through the firewall in the front left hand side of the car, behind the glove box (for right hand side drive cars) and into the engine bay. I actually did this in a different video as part of the car build so I already had cables ready to go technically. I have a blue sea safetyhub 150 in the engine bay that I use for all accessories, so all I needed was a ring lug to connect my a five and negative wires to this fuse hub, otherwise you connect direct to the battery.
