Thanks for the vid guys! With the battery monitor giving you an inaccurate reading- it’s probably because you’ve got it setup as a 240ah battery bank? Change it to 200ah and you’ll get more accurate readings. Itech state that their 120x batteries are 105ah at C20. But you’ll be getting even less than that with the loads you’re running off it.
Thank you mate. Appreciate the feed back and I will change the settings today and see how we go. When the system was firstly installed we had no drama for the first year and then one day it started playing up and we can’t seem to get it right 🙌🏻
Hope everyone is having an awesome week 😁 we hope you enjoy the episode and it helps with making the cruiser decision 😁 Please help by subscribing to our channel 🙌🏻 enjoy the rest of your week 🙌🏻
Great rig buddy! That’s what I love about you guys. You don’t go stupid with your set up. You just have the things you actually need without going ‘over the top’ like some other channels do. ‘Less is more’ when on the road full time! 👍👍
Really relevant for us in the middle of planning and about to purchase car then van, love your honesty. The way that prices have gone with LC’s you would make big money if you changed it over now!
Just bought a 79 cruiser as a tow rig for a boat. What a beast, I love driving it. Yes I have spent a bit to make it exactly what I want but a new Ranger is bloody expensive and still needs mods to tow safely. Land Cruiser all the way for me hands down. Love watching your content 👍
Great vid mate...! Love our 2021 79 and we've just hit the road a month ago...! Love watching your vids... Hopefully see you out on the road..! I have to agree with Cam from @wildtouring... Unfortunately I got stung with buying 3 x 120X 3 years ago for my caravan from Itech assuming they were 120ah. Got my money back though after pointing out their marketing/advertising was misleading.
Great run down mate. Recently I have been thinking about upgrading the air system in ours. Like you we have the single arb, and honestly think we ask a bit much of it when airing up all 8 tyres. Love what you guys have done to this thing. They get a bad rap, but at the end of the day the joy you get from hearing that sweet 4.5 litre slap beats anything else on the market 😅
Great video. You covered it well. Most importantly you enjoy driving it! I just got my new y62, love driving it also. I just look away when filling up. Enjoy it now. The EU just changed their combustion engine policy on Tuesday. It's coming, but so glad/proud to live in AUSTRALIA
Beautiful rig , when setting up a vehicle for touring peoples needs and wants are different from each an another 😀 This rig suits your needs and its perfect Good one legends 👏 🙌 👌 Greetings and cheers 🍻 from south africa 🍻 🇿🇦 👍
Love the rig it’s so sensibly set up. I have a 79 but am finding difficulty in getting it kitted out because of the cost, especially here in WA everything costs more. To be fair it would be about the same cost no matter what ute you wanted to kit out.
Thanks Grant. Yeah nothing is cheap anymore and you can sink a huge amount of money on kitting out a cruiser. There is always more you can do! We just went with the absolute necessary buts for living on the road full time!
Great video. When you did the Cape York trip your group did very well enabling you to experience just how capable your Cruiser really is. I agree fully with your summary and as you say it's not the vehicle for everyone.
Great video Derek, thankyou for making this one, enjoyed watching as usual. What model air fryer is that one? I like the squareness of it compared to others
Hey Deryck Can you tell what you have done under the bonnet catch can, intercooler upgrade and most importantly have you upgraded the air box so your motor doesn’t get dusted….
Deryck top effort on your Rig Video mate you talke about ya Baby with pride and joy 🤗🤗 , got a question for ya mate just wondering do you have Positive Battery post protection caps on ya lithium’s mate I would not like to see ya short out 240ah’s of lithium by accident 🔥. Keep the midweek vids comin guys if ya post-em they will come 😁😁

Thanks Peter. They are pretty reflective!
Again such a honest and frank review on your rig. Well done mate. Stay safe 👍👍👍
Fantastic rig rundown

I just look away when filling up.
Enjoy it now. The EU just changed their combustion engine policy on Tuesday. It's coming, but so glad/proud to live in AUSTRALIA
Great review Derek, we have one very similar setup, what you said is on the money, love watching your video's. Cheers.
Thanks Daryl, appreciate the feedback!

Thank you 🙏. Hope the rest of the week is awesome 🙌🏻
Haha, our Display does this also, Engerdrive can’t tell us either. Good Vid Derek, PS. What is your rear axel weight please?
Well done beast (is that what Sue calls you) 😂😂 or where you talking about the Ute. Great sensible setup and the main thing you love it 🧑🌾👍
Good coverage of your office 😘
Thank you 😁
Great video Derek, thankyou for making this one, enjoyed watching as usual. What model air fryer is that one? I like the squareness of it compared to others
My question is , is there a lot of leg room in the 79 like the 100
Series behind the wheel?
Thanks, would you consider a wagon 4x4?
For our needs most probably not 🙌🏻
Hey Deryck
Can you tell what you have done under the bonnet catch can, intercooler upgrade and most importantly have you upgraded the air box so your motor doesn’t get dusted….
