if it's the petrol more than likely as it's the same alternator from SY right to SZ. I'm not 100% about the diesel however so best to double check if a smart alternator or not

cheers mate slowly getting there - lift definitely helped 🤙 glad ya enjoyed it

cheers mate 🤙 just one step at a time and it gets there in the end

need more chevaps

thanks mate yeah it's crazy steep aye - glad you enjoyed the track too will definitely be back 🤙

cheers mate, brake fluid has actually been flushed and calipers are all good (even rebuilt too), so the brakes are tip top. i suspect the module itself as its always been iffy since day one -

ABS and traction control issues off roading can be caused by build up of crud on the teeth for the hall effect sensors. I live on a dirt road in NE Vic and often find that the ABS and/or traction control kicks off after 20/30km of driving,. A quick wipe with a stiff brush fixes it for a few weeks depending on the weather. At times, I've had to fight the traction control going round hairpins (in just the one direction) and found that it's crudded up unevenly. It reported error codes for centring the steering wheel, but I think the issue was just the sensors weren't averaging the same revolutions.

good point i didn't think to brush the CV teeth - something to consider, i always throw it into traction mode 2 when off-roading as well to help grab the wheels

Hitting them with the hose usually helps but the front ones are well hidden, so I just get in there with an old toothbrush. Seems to do the trick. Can go fine for months when dry, but not when playing in the mud.

sweet as mate good to know might give it a crack - as mine give way around an hour of hard off-roading but then a restart works well

sweet as sounds sick 🤙 kinda like an RTV build?

hey if it works it works just need a way to squeeze everything in - yup the beemer in the background project rig 🤙

cheers mate! next one bit of off-roading

thanks mate glad it helped

i just run the stock ford nuts - they work perf with the dynamic rims 🤙 the longer nuts won't allow for the stock centre caps

might be best to get a quote from your local indy mech, as this was a incredibly time consuming and challenging job that both of us would rather not do again lol 🤙

they built em tough 🤙

@alwaysAWD I worked at a waste transfer station in the northern beaches in Sydney. My first memory of seeing a New ford territory was in 2008. Tony Abbott came in his his one to drop off crappola before he was P.M and was the minister of health. I think the guys a knob but at least he had taste in cars 😂

cheers mate no going back now!

cheers mate half the fun is finding them! all good on this video at the end i put a little map of where to find it as its not the easiest even when i was there, Genowlan Summit track :)

cold enough to keep the beers outside! cheers mate very exciting year ahead 🤙

cheers mate glad you enjoyed it, it's something away from the usual Katoomba and surrounds if up in the region - definitely suggest go on a cooler day as there's so much to explore and the climbs are pretty steep!

yeah for daily use the Kluger is a killer car - even off-roading it went further than any of us expected! but yeah for the real tricky / steep bits AWD reigns supreme 🤙

new bearings failed barely 500kms after fitment during christmas jervis bay trip - bit dissapointing but at least cars all good now

it's definitely something i'd like to check out some time - this year is so packed might not be till next earliest but i've seen some cracker spots around SA

it's such a spectacular part of the world - definitely won't be my last time visiting 👌 maybe when it's not as hot haha - glad you enjoyed it 🤙

cheers mate happy new year too!

they're such an underrated machine - great to see the beast smashing through the snow mate - cheers for the support here's to an even bigger 2025

thanks for the support mate - good to know around the ZR6, if the V6 has manual and locking diff sheeesh might be a serious contender 🤙 that's it who needs a lifted with 35" landy when the mighty Rav conquers too

many more to come mate! enjoy your holidays too 🤙

was one hell of a year mate - ngl the hammock will never get old. Will try keep the same engine into 2026 this time too haha was a cracking time learning the swap and being amongst the fourbie club.

thanks mate it's the only way to get to know the vehicle 🤙

i'd still suggest it as a cool spot to camp - just have a couple candles going for Skeletor

cheers mate 🤙

great suggestion mate - it's a spot i've been meaning to head to for awhile now too!

thanks mate i've heard there's a bit of an offroad scene over in the UK too!

thanks for the tip mate I'll definitely add that one to hit up 🤙

cheers mate 🤙 keen for an epic summer 🙌 wish i went to Stockton earlier!

averaging 13/14 per 100 after modifications which is roughly the same as other modified Territorty's. Pre modification was around 12 per 100 so not a huge change

thanks mate was a cracking time 🤙

i've lifted the Territory as high as I'd like it and it's taken me everywhere so far 🤙 mates Rav4 just needs to pick his lines and crossings carefully but still manages great too - low range would be good for extended sand driving but tbh the rig has gone everywhere i've needed without investing in a more expensive fourbie for now 💪 your Hilux even stock will still take you to a tonne of spots too ez

thanks mate that little Rav4 continues to hold its own with the big boys

second winch was just a small pull, the earlier recovery had the dampener as it was much longer - yeah the day out was a hoot and would 10/10 head out again.

@@alwaysAWD Yeah I could see that was an easy winch. A tree trunk protector would still be nice.

cheers mate!

the 2012+ onwards only had the diesel in the AWD not the mighty Barra - so better choice i reckon for ease of parts and maintenance 🤙

100% mate best way to start off in the 12V setup and get out there 🤙 don't need more than a smart isolator and a fridge

yeah a big part of me was tempted, but this was after we got absolutely soaked with everything the previous night and already spent a fair bit of time checking out tracks - winch absolutely on the cards though 🤙 need to get a custom bar fitted first as there's nothing off the shelf for the Territory as it were

@@alwaysAWD nothing was available for mine either.

@@dannthenitroman all part of the AWD life isn't it haha - it's half the fun though seeing how far can push these builds with bars and such too

@@alwaysAWD just gotta get the grinder and welder out. And go for it.

sick that's good to know - will have to suss it out! guessing the 3rd gen might have a bit more oomph than the OG as well

all about being prepared, having recovery gear then giving it all a crack to build their confidence 🤙

cheers mate the Grand Vitara can be pretty capable as well 🤙 lots more vids to come hopefully 💪
