DPF still in there? Interested as have same set up . Sounds good.
Hey mate, great video. I bought a used 79 with the old portals and 100k driven on them. Im about to do a service to check out the condition of the gears and then head off-grid. What spare parts do you recommend to order to take with me?
Hi mate, If your doing the service and inspecting them and doing oils etc just have a good look at the wear on the teeth and bearing/shaft condition. As for spares, I'd get a spare drain plug, oil, shaft, idler bearings and seals from Marks.
Your a wizard chromie
Does this kit increase your GCM?
@maxshi7909 no Portal Axel's don't increase your GCM, it remains standard.
What year 200 is it for and is the kit only for aus or can us neighbors in nz use it cheers Buck mines a 2007 model
@Buckopt1 Hey mate, this is a 2018 200 series. I'm not sure on the compatibility, best to check out Custom Car Stereo online where we ordered it from.
Awsome Video. What program Do You Use To edit Your Video Clips
@@CruiserSwagger thanks! We are super basic and use iMovie or Capcut 😊
Awsome Video. What program Do You Use To edit Your Video Clips
I really don't understand the need of the background music, especially if you know it decrease the retention rate significantly
Worth the wait! How Perfect 👍
The setup is looking great guys and the install looks very DIY friendly. I'll have to check this out when I get mine. Thanks for sharing.
Sweet rig. Absolutely awesome build. Got a few questions: Did you do the portals before the extension? Which modification should be done first? What is the GVM limit, and was it limited by the portals? Cheers!
@fasddd Hey mate, all good questions. Firstly, the portals can only be done pre rego as SSM. So they have to technically be done first. We opted for the chassis extension as with previous experience a longer canopy on the 79 definitely needs a longer wheel base. Drives much nicer. GVM limit on portals is 3950. Leafs without portals on a 79 can go to 4200gvm then its a Jmacx super chassis 4495gvm. Portals drove like stock suspension as geometry was only lifted 2".
Thanks so much for the quick reply! Yeah I'm looking at Pre Rego, although apparently in NSW you can do Portals post rego now. I'd be portals then extension like your build. But the limit would then be 3950, like yours is?
@@fasddd yes mate portals limit it to 3950 no matter the extension
@@LifeoftheCromies Thanks so much for your help. I'm just in the process of getting a 79 and looking at these mods myself. Who have you gone with for insurance and do they cover all the mods you have done? Cheers!
@fasddd All good mate, we went with Shannon's and they covered everything in QLD.
Well, another 5🌟 watch! I agree, EVERYTHING is better every time Britt. You and Tim have so much fun and you both present your beautiful locations so professionally. It's so exciting to get a notification of another Life of the Cromies adventure 😀 You guys have a real professional edge 💎 yet still so down to earth. Explore and Love Australia, and you are 🇦🇺
We love this comment so much, thank you Ruthy! One of our biggest supporters ❤ we love to make you proud x
Looks like a top spot. I'll have to remember that one 😍Hope you guys are well
It's a beautiful one!! Thanks Adam. If you're ever up north, we'd love to take you!
@@LifeoftheCromies That would be awesome. Have to plan a shakedown trip for before you leave !
Another mint video on a local FNQ spot guys 👌 the editing and your presence on camera is getting better too! Quality work 👌 and thanks for the tip on yet another mint camp
Thanks heaps Jackson, really appreciate your comment and the feedback!! Bloody legend 🤙
Would there being any issue using these as stabilizer jacks (not leveling) if im doing a rooftop tent?
If you're leaving the canopy on the vehicle, and using these to stabilise, they will be fine. If the canopy is off the vehicle, I'd recommend lowering the legs and cross strapping for additional safety and support, prior to doing any work on the canopy, in the canopy, or with the tent.
Great instructional video. Thank you for dropping the name "All Things Mudflaps" into the vid. Contacted Matt on Facebook through his page. Ordered a set of ShortieZ in satin matt with a silver, red & black logo. Should look great on the new PDe6 i30N hatch, arriving in Jan 2025. Matt was very quick to respond and super helpful. Saves me ordering the damn things on EBAY through RallyFlapZ directly.
Wow, that looks awesome guys. Heaps better with that bar and all blacked out. 🤙
@@1000adstar thanks Adam! It definitely changes the whole look of the car.
Definitely a labour of love 🖤 Nothing beats you, Tim. There's no chrome on the outside... Just 2 Cromies on the inside 😅 She looks beautiful! Well done, you two 👍
@@ruthevans1579 😂
Nice truck Jesus is real I would encourage you to look into who he really is. he lay down his life that we can live for eternity. Have a blessed day.
Did you break it yesterday. Seen it on side of road with bonnet up
@@Franksssss check our instagram stories for the run down.. 😂
Ahh i don't have insta haha. Hope ya got it sorted
@Franksssss control arm bolt managed to wiggle its way out, who knows where the nut went. We are grateful it dropped where it did and not towing a van an hour earlier. We did get it sorted, thankfully!
@LifeoftheCromies true. Not far from the old lady's house haha. We had an issue with radius arm bolts coming loose in flexy situations. I cut a lock tab washer, tightened but up and then tacked it to the nut with the tig. Hasn't come loose since.
We just came back from Fraser, It definitely is Paradise on earth. Is the 79 sold?
@SirLuisBarrera We absolutely love Fraser! Yes the 79 is gone while we spend next year on the road full time towing a van. Who knows what the next killer build will be when we return!
@ looking fwd to all that guys. Your portal teardown video has been super helpful to me. Best of luck on your new endeavours!
Fantastic guys!!
Thanks buddy!
Wicked video guys. Looking forward to seeing your adventures around Oz
Thanks heaps Adam! :)
What a tease, how much fun 🎉 Perfect music, perfect footage!
Glad you love it!
Turtle! ❤
WICKED FOOTAGE 🌟 It's a credit to you, Britt. You're a natural with your editing and documentation. Beautiful scenery, wildlife, and friends. Love both of your persistence with the fishing 😂 Tim's drone hook was very clever, not surprising (and your comment about the catch and escape) 👍 Well done, it's beautiful to watch 👏
Thanks Ruthy!! Appreciate your feedback and comments :)
When you get back from he Big Lap we will have to come with you! Absolutely love this video, its so beautiful there and you have done an amazing job documenting it all! ❤
Thanks fam! We would love to take you on an adventure there.
😂😂😂 love it!
I'm keen to try them, let's go! ❤
This was such an epic trip, it would be perfect for the fam!
What a perfect end to a perfect getaway. I might have pizza tonight 😅
Great way to ruin a classic American vehicle hope it bottoms out and craters the tranny
This sounds pretty good to me, what are the kit details and where can I purchase it
Hey mate, sorry for the delay! You can find the kit on Customcarstereosystems.com.au/
Did you guys hear that we are going to Fraser next week so now your coming to 😅😅😅 Might see you there 👍🏼
@Peil_lc200 have a ripper time mate! Fraser is fantastic.
You found the fish 👏 Look at those star trails ~ wow, just amazing! You're making the most of Mother Nature and our beautiful country. Great cruiser and camping set up. Inspirational stuff 💫
Perfect washing weather 😊 Look at that white sand and beautiful sunset. Perfect end to a near perfect day (fish are coming) 😂
Hey guys, love the channel - where’d you buy those weather shields from and are you happy with the fitting? Thank you.
Thanks heaps! They are OCEAM weather shields. We did have to modify the front due to the extended mirrors, but other than that, happy with the fitment.
Absolutely spectacular.!!! We are very lucky in Aus to have such beautiful beaches…
You're not wrong!
How fast you can drive on the highway with those? nice setup!
@@CMDR-Data as fast as the legal limit permits! Never had an issue at the higher end of speeds. Thank you!
Great vid . You are a natural . Nice slow easy to understand audio and perfect video . Take it up as a day job . 👏👏
@mojo2353 thank you for your comment! Really appreciate your feedback 😊
Is there anyway to move it once its off the back? My issue is the truck won't fit the the garage, but the canopy once off would. Any ideas?
Hey there, great unit! I just bought the same, and im wondering where could I find those exact mud flaps? Thanks!!
Hello, thank you! If you're on Facebook or Instagram, reach out to the page 'all things mud flaps'. I ordered them via messenger and bank transfer :)
Hi, just a simple request please…I have searched in vain to find a TH-cam video on how to dismantle the dash on a Toyota LC 76 series with slow deliberate instructions on how to do it…is this something you would consider doing, please?
Hey Phil, it's not something we can help with sorry, we no longer have our hands on the 79 series, and don't have access to one. Hopefully you can find something around - perhaps try 70 series land cruiser pages on Facebook. Good luck!
What are your thoughts on the legal side of this. Heard alot of mixed opinions
For this setup, we kept the seatbelt mounts intact and the rear seats were only temporarily removed for the trip. Once we returned from camping, the seats were refitted as they originally were. From our understanding of QLD TMR rules, as long as seatbelt mounts and safety restraints are not permanently altered or removed, it should be legal. However, this is our interpretation and understanding, and may not be correct.
What happens to the last injector if weight reduction was achieved?
I loooove lighthouses ♡ That is so inspiring. This is definitely on my bucket list now! Happy days. You 2 are really living life ❤
@ruthevans1579 this one is one of my favourites we have seen for sure 😍
