Nice work Richard!! You should be very proud of yourself and what you have achieved!!!This is an awesome build and I look forward to one day seeing it the flesh:)
Love the build don't put your self down with the little problems you have I don't care how good someone thinks they are there are always little problems with newly modified cars in your case 4x4 keep up with the good work mate love it
You didn't tiighten those lower arms on the stands did you? Likely those bushes will flog faster if you did.. Good to see all the fun of a custom build and what takes it to get on the road.
Considering it's your 1st with the majority of the build I think you have done a terrific job, but on the other hand it could be just another engineer thing, lol, I look forward to your next update
When using or installing gaskets, best product to use is called 'The right stuff'. It's a gasket maker, hi temp, far superior to rtv etc. Available at all parts shops
I'd say bad weld before anything else. I really like SuperPro bushes, they're a bit squeaky, but you don't need to worry about touring them up with the weight on the car. I reckon the car rides better too.
Love the build mate, obviously touched on engineering at the end there, but who did you go thru? I'm planning to go thru S&M Engineering for a SAS on my IFS dual cab
Did you ever change that first exhaust mount? I can't exactly remember how it was but remember commenting on it at the time and suggested mounting it to the gearbox rather than the chassis. Could have contributed to both the exhaust break and manifold crack.
Sorry but that exhaust was never going to last, the dump pipe and cossover pipe need to be braced to the bellhousing and along the transmission then have a decent sized flex from there. No amount of bracing and strengthening will fix it, the failure will just move to the next point whch will be further up the dump or the dump pipe to turbo bolts/studs.

Offft nice this thing is a beast
Well done mate. Very informative. And it's great that you show your wins and losses on aspects of the project.
Cheers Brian, certainly not all smooth sailing!
Good work Rich, love the way this build is evolving and getting more dialled in 👌
Nice one Richard, great job, it all takes time and trials. Well done again mate. Seeya Rob

Certainly did them up on the ground, realised I edited in the wrong sequence!
Bloody beautiful..what a weapon

Cheers Michael, maybe you have rose coloured glasses looking at it from an engineers perspective 🤓
Amazing job as usual mate. Looking forward to the next off-road vid 🎉
Thank you!!

Toyota Black sealant is also really good, perfect for sumps.
Cheers guys, I’ll have a look into it.

Cheers Jason, I’ll look into them next time!
Less lag with more heat!
I could have hooked you up with the Blackhawk breather I work for Blackhawk/roadsafe/nitro
Cheers Tristan, bought them months ago but I’ll be sure to keep it in mind when I need parts :)

6. The weight of the turbo & exhaust plus motor movement and no bracing for the flange
Support bracket ?
Seems like the exhaust is pulling down?
Nice. What was the dyno numbers?

Hey Benny, yeah I have changed them around a fair bit, I remember that a long time ago and changed it as a result so thank you!!

That high temp will probably burn off
Hey mate just wondering where you got all the fuel gauges and that stuff
I got some pretty generic eBay ones, in the process of switching to the raceworks stuff.
What ended up being the fix for the shifter?
Wrong pinout from the PCM!! Simple fix but had to pull everything apart to trace the wires back
Almost no details on engineering? horseshit man.
or dyno details on a barra through auto-transfer case then 35's
