Want to know more about why you changed tyres and what was required to make the 33” fit
Subbed! Very informative as I am researching to start my 4 wheeling adventure. Also, I’ve hit the notification bell icon mainly for that bull bar video!
Great work Rohnny! It would be awesome to see a episode dealing with winch recovery’s, especially solo recovery’s.
Really love & appreciate the thaught you put into this build for us as well rony!
i would love to see that bullbar video, Ronny. Think it's gonna be the next mod I put on my Tacoma.
I put an Aussie Aluminum Alloy Bull Bar on my 1987 Suzuki Samari. Was running 30" tires and a 2" lift, doing 65 MPH down the road and a ten point white tail buck jumped out of the ditch. This thing weighed 200lbs dressed.
My reaction time in those days was better then most and I was able to hit the brakes at impact couldn't bare to look at damage for a few minutes, thought my Sami was toast. The only damage, was the top horizonat bar was bent maybe a half an inch! At 1000 dollar price tag in those days, that was the best insurance possible. Weight was a factor with the Sami so I went with the Aluminum Alloy, advertised as "strong as Steel"!
Enjoy your treks on the tube, trying to adapt my Sami to accomodate my bilateral amputation, slowly but slowly, LOL.

We all want the bull bar video
Right on Ronny. Would love a video just on bull bar considerations!
Ronny has a strong Nordic phenotype.
Great Vid as usual very helpful
Definitely suspension and new tyres next
This was a great video Ronny.
Hey Ronny
This is a great series of videos! I'm learning a lot, even for my Ranger, as my first proper build. So far my only disappointment is the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform not being as capable as I expected and was advised it would be, as you outlined. I'll keep my platform for now and just be more careful when loading it.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you have done with your tyres and suspension as these are more of a priority upgrade for anyone than some of your other indicated modifications.
Cheers mate
I need that bull bar comparisons video
^
jea
awesome stuff Ronny very very informative video big thumbs up
Would love to see that Bull-Bar comparison. A comparison from full bar to the half bar without the top protection would help myself a lot too.
I was about the comment exactly the same thing. Love the look of the single hoop / predator bars; but are you just sacrificing your headlights or is it actually less engine protection than a full bar?
I have a 2019 Hilux with a ARB Sahara Bar single hoop. The hoop is only thin aluminium held in with two M8 or M10 bolts either side. The protection that it would offer would be minimal. I didn't want or need a full bull bar, we do minimal rural travel and I didn't really like the look without a hoop. Not a comparison as such but maybe some food for thought.
@@simmo6035 thanks Adam, does give some good insights. Cheers
@@berendpilon1632 second this!
Everytime I watch your series, I feel like buying some shit I don't need for my luxy 😅😅
Love your content
Cheers mate love to see a video on wheels tires & suspension.
Great idea, please make a dedicated bull bar video. I would really like to have more details about this as well as your opinion.
That's a tough looking hilux, looks awesome.
Be interesting to see at the end with all the weights and gvm and costs of accessories.
Do suspension and tyres next.
Keen to see another trip episode but.👍
Great ep Ronny. People dont consider weight. More importantly the distribution of weight
thanks for sharing the bull bar. I am going to get this same one for my tacoma. and have a shop do the install. thats just one i dont feel entirely comfortable doing.... cant wait. love your videos keep it up
Keen to hear more about the water tank setup!
Suspension and tires, Ronny! You are the man!
Yeah that bull bar video would be great!
Keen to see more about the water/fuel cell in the back! Looking to get something similar in my new Dmax
Great episode!
Super keen for a bull-bar comparison video.
Gday Ronny, yet another crackin vid, I'm enjoying watching Project Luxy evolve. Whilst I may not agree with some of the additions you choose, I thoroughly enjoy each video of the build. Torbs needs to host a Q & A with you asking questions about why you started the channel and why you do what you do...
Its looking beast! I wish my budget could afford one of these front bars. One day, one day lol
Just the content I love to see🤤😍🥵 fantastic stuff
Best looking Hilux from the Side I have seen so far in the whole world.. would love to hear about the sides protection in ur next video :-) :-)
Loving the maxtrax ramps
Can't wait to see the Far North trip vids!
Probably bump into 4wd action.
Love ya work... Bull bar video please. Cheers
Would love to see a video on the bullbar. I really like the Summit that you went with, that's the one that I would like to put on my 4Runner eventually.
Cheers, come on! Please continue to build and publish the video quickly, I will follow your build in Taiwan!
Love your videos. I went with a Carbon Winch on the BT50 due to its quality and its shipping weight was 29kgs so bare winch was even less. I try to keep weight off the bull bar if possible.
Hey Ronny. I’ve noticed you have a genuine Toyota snorkel on. Please include an in-depth review or your thoughts about it, in a future video. That would be interesting I reckon
i realize Im quite randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to stream newly released series online ?
@Armando Trenton lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it on google =)
@Xander Skylar definitely, I've been watching on flixzone for years myself =)
@Xander Skylar thank you, I went there and it seems to work :D I appreciate it !
@Armando Trenton No problem =)
thank you for the super detailed video
true see weight add up on your build as weight take offload up trip add tailer this
My rear recovery point is a 15 ton pintle hook and recovery strap. I got both the hitch and plate for $40 total plus hardware. The last 2 years I've recovered several vehicles in Alaska. I can't complain, it works.
Hey Ronnie, just a thought on your winch set up. Weight, Safety and everything in between, I am pretty much down to a soft shackle for all my attachments now and have removed my hook all-together. Basically I go direct from the thimbled eye on the winch Dyneema to my soft shackle to the point I'm loading, cant for the life of me see why I need another potential point of failure in the system (the hook). I have a short section of inch poly pipe with a v groove cut out for the thimble that locks against my fairlead to hold the thimble in place, just winch in and lock it away. Works a treat, keep up the good work bud
Good looking rig 👍🏿
Did you add a catch can and prefilter yet? I'd like to see the shocks next. The new ARB bullbar looks really good, what a great design. Excellent video Ronny, thank you.
Loved it, but what’s on the exterior armour of your car mate love to how you did that bud, looks like a armadillo 💪🏽🦔
Would like to know more about the body chop! Suspension, tyres and body chop episode next 🤙🏼
Is a video of these side body armour type things still coming? They look very useful and I'm interested in how they are mounted and how you have been enjoying them. Awesome videos btw!!
The rhino hide seems like a great investment, just hoping they release a set for my 4x4 soon
Yes bullbars video!
I would be very interested in seeing an in-depth on the Rhino Hide please Ronny, Im actually working on our side & body protection starting next week Mate.
Another advantage of steel over aluminium is it's WAY easier to work with when it comes to repairs or adding things like mounting tabs etc.
Love my Toyota Aluminium Bull Bar and think it looks sweet.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder 👍
As usual absolute legend best on TH-cam
Been waiting for this and the suspension one as I have the exact same vehicle so was interested in your opinion before I put my gear on mine. What do you think of the TJM bar as I prefer the look
Cheers
you are lucky to even get the bull bar Ronny. I've been waiting since late October for my summit bullbar to rock up to the ARB workshop with still no date in site :(
love from norway :)
I like the clean look of the front bumper. I never understood the antenna mounted to it.
I got a price for the ARB bullbar from my local. Wowee, was my first response. Then extra for their fog lights, extra for recovery points, etc. I can see why their shops always look so nice
The TJM outback is worth a look
I bought a arb for my new hilux and regret it , it sticks out so much futher than any other bar ive seen , should have gone Tjm.
Don’t go ARB they are shit. Get the TJM Outback bar. It has the in built recovery points so you don’t need to buy them separately and it doesn’t stick out so much as the ARB. Save yourself a $1000. Also another benefit is that most TJM stores will install any winch for you as long as it fits, ARB won’t touch any other brand. So you can go a kings winch if you want to save coin, or a warn, or a runva - choice is yours.
MCC Falcon is on my shortlist
Great review of all your Lucy updates. Really good info. Are you able to post the card you have for the front recovery points?
Good video Ronny! What's your take on whether or not it is also important to add a fuel tank skid/bash plate?
Lift and tyres 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Great video Ronny. What happened to the Maxxis RAZR AT811's you had on?
Bull bar awareness video!
Not my favourite car but I like Ronny explanation and all the info
Great vid mate, whats your your thoughts on the gen bar
Great info Ronny, I’ll suggest double checking the weight of your bar. Had a steel TJM delivered to my home to install on my FJ. i was told it weighed 65kg. Bar arrived in box and the weight printed on the box was 100kg. I weighted every piece contained in the box and yep it all came to 100kg. I weighed the parts that came off my FJ to install the bar which came to 12kg. I added 88kgs before even installing the winch. Your weight of 65kg is bar only and not all the added bolts, support steel bracing etc etc
Interesting points there mate, I’ll add an unknown extra weight at the end to allow for it perhaps unless I can find the actual info
Which bullbar was it? On their Tjm website it says 100kg?
@@sonsam1966 it’s the outback T13 bar. My experience was back in 2014. Back then no weights were mentioned on their website and I could only get info of 65kgs by the salesperson. It was impossible to get accurate weights of bars back then by any manufacturer. For some reason they kept quiet on that area but we know why now. In 2017 I changed to an Xbox bar and halved the weight. Cheers
Yeah I agree it’s a good solid bar but that’s way too Heavy on the nose of the vehicle even tho recovery point and reinforcements been added
Nice video again!
About the transfer case bash plate, I think those mounting points on the case looks pretty weak. Aren´t you worried it will just break off those instead? I figure the original one will give way, but still protect the cast housing with a bit tougher steel? Maybe you have some experience or stories about what and how things break underneath - would surely be an interesting episode ;)
A bull bar episode would be awesome @
Great video mate👍🏻How did you like the Sahara bar old your old lux? Do they weigh less than the summit?
Hv to admit, 15 years of 4wdriving since i was 25 yr old and i hv been using the shackles the wrong way.
Thanks Rhonni
I have as well mate
Really it is the recovery points which are in the wrong orientation - if the holes were in the horizontal plane the Riggers "proper way" would be the correct way...
@@kadmow
😆Jesus bro, don't do this to me.
Would love to see the review of the Rhino-hide compared to other options like the bush barrier and other magnetic systems.
Yes bullbar awareness vid
I would love to see a bull bar video. I have not got one yet and would really help me weigh up my options.
Definitely would like to know about the suspension and tyres Ronny 👐
Hey Ronny as always thanks for your work. Quick question and recommendation, 40mm or 60mm ARB Summit steel bullbar? For a 78LC what would you suggest? I don’t intend to install flares on the LC78. I’m leaning towards 40mm due to weight. What is your recommendation regarding weight and strength difference stats. Thanks in advance and Happy Easter.
Love your content mate! Very informative. Isn’t adding all that extra weight will significantly affect performance and mileage? What are the options to improve these after all this additional weight mod ?
Trailer it to the destination. lol...
Love the vid Ronny
Heads up in the Weight added section you wrote "ABR" not "ARB" on the screen
Saw that after it was uploaded and figured people would work it out 😁
Deliberate mistake to see who was paying attention...
Ye the bullbar video would be good
I T-boned a Camry & wrote it off, got a small dent on the summit bar of my Lux as a result. They are expensive but worth every cent.
Suspension tyres and body work please next episode. Great stuff as always. Keep it up.
Suspension tyres mate 👍
Already has new tires on
Great work, do you recommend put on rear bar? For tub protection or corner guards
these pants look cool. What pants are that? Oh and the car looks also pretty good.
A lot of that weight is down low which helps with stability
I wonder how many people have added all the gear and now have an over weight vehicle once loaded, it sure adds up pretty quick. The recovery point weight blew me away.
You should add the fender mirror. plus I think they make a car look cool & a serious off roader !
Still waiting for the Rhinohide review, hopefully you will cover off on this next video.
Yes I would love to hear all about it. It's looks very impressive.
currently waiting on the same bull bar for the same car. Will be copying a lot of these mods on my hilux this year.
Need a video on winch choice!
A Bullbar is a must if you are travelling remote locations and as you say not just for animal strikes. I was in low range trying to get up a sandy track and smacked into a tree at the top as my momentum didn’t allow the car to turn as I hoped .... a dent in my Bullbar but I could continue my trip
Love your vids mate.
Ronny I get that you don't like the look of most aluminium bars but the Toyota aluminium bar is the best looking bar for that model car in my opinion (its well balanced compared to others) and you can have it painted black.
It's winch compatible with the little number plate door.
The product development budget is 20x more than all other after market bars so it's not unnecessarily over engineered, it has 90% the strength of steel, yet less than half the weight (not two thirds like you said) and of course its air bag compliant.
It's designed to flex and fail before your chassis does which is a big thing if you don't want to crab walk forever after a kangaroo strike.
It's also designed to act like a hull in water.
The reason why I bought one is because being a bricky I've dropped many profiles over decades, steel and aluminium and the steel ones always bend on impact where as the aluminium ones flex and stay straight. I knew this flex was important so I went down that path and I was right. My bar has hit a good size roo (unfortunately hard enough to kill it) and it only dented (which was easy to hammer out). It acted like a tough spring, I suppose thats why Toyota promise you can drive on after a kangaroo strike.
Thats my experience anyway.
Hi Ronny, would you recommend to apply any kind of protection against rust on the frame?
The phatbar bashplates are very similar with the transfer fully protected. The phatbars are a bit heavy thought at 45kg
You need some portal axles. A bumper video would be cool too
I reckon the alloy bars look killer especially the tjm
Would be keen on suspension and tyres. I see already you have gone to MT's over the AT's?
Any particular reason you choose the Brown Davis Under Body protection (weigh, price or quality)?
R/D. Struth, interesting to park this Lolux over the old weigh bridge opposite Devon St, Woodbridge and see what it weighs ? It must be getting close to the GVM ! V.
Hey Ronnie. Are you protecting the underneath with anything to prevent rust? All your beach driving must take a toll.
Another informative video Ronny. Can you advise what you done with the diff and gearbox breathers on the Hilux? The factory breather on rear diff is located on the diff housing and the gearbox/transfer are located on top of the bell housing, and did you manage to find where the breath for the front diff is located?
Good question
If the breather sits on the rear pumpkin, isn't that lower then the rated 700mm wading depth?
@@perpelle Hi pelleper, it is my understanding that the specified wading depth is set to prevent water ingress into the air box, the computer and other critical electric components, and maybe even the alternator and possibly any air vents. As the diff breather is effectively a one-way valve, no water (or air) should be able to get back through it. This can be an issue as when a hot diff is rapidly cool (like when do a water crossing or it gets splashed with lots of water) the air will reduce in volume and cause negative pressure inside the diff housing that will suck the diff breather closed. But as the negative pressure inside the diff will try to equalise with the outside atmospheric air pressure (or vice versa), it could end up sucking water, dust, mud in through the wheel bearings.
Bloody hell I just want to see a video of the lux on a trip already
8 of those coming up
Ronny great video! Does the bar work with sensors for air bags etc?
It does mate 👍
