I find it refreshing and honest that they are not sponsored with a brand new canopy and redark set up thats out of reach to the average bloke. these blokes don't need that crap just for the likes and thats why I watch them...
Usually if your getting extreme panel issues I’d start with body mounts, they can look fine but are usually collapsed. Then the next thing to start looking for is cracking in the body which isn’t too uncommon in older 4wds. Great video as always boys, still waiting for a video with the Reed boys 👍🏻 Cheers Pat
Awesome video as always. Don't underestimate leafies lol That's all we had back in the day. Leaf sprung, no lockers, lift kits or winches. Had a lot of fun and went everywhere. Got pretty hairy sometimes but so much fun
Nice one gents 👍 Like you, I ❤️ 4WD, but I too am not into the hardcore rock climbing and (crap gets everywhere) deep mud bogging. I spend a lot of money on my 4WD, so I prefer to avoid damaging it. Best part is, I'm having heaps of fun. And I also have 33" on my 80 Series. IMO, 33"s look the best on it.
g/day guy's lockers protect the tracks with less wheel spin and a lot less where on the car. iam doing a trip after easter weekend leave tuesday from walhalla to tom grogan and back. should take about 10 days
years ago we just made our own snow chains up to fit our rear tires and when in the real bad crap we fitted them and the bus would become almost unstoppable 😉👌 was our cheep lockers 😁👍 love you work guys , keep doing what you do and dont stop having fun 😉🍺🍺
I have no panel gap issues when flexed on my LC80. My doors open as normal. The chassis of the LC80 is relatively stiff. When flexing and your body panels move, I hope this is not a sympthom of a bigger issue. 🤞 Finger's crossed it's not. Have you checked to see if your body panel bolts are all snug? Also check the bolts that hold the body into the chassis. Thanks for the tip on the wireless remote. I might look into that. Another good viewing fellas. 👍
I did Fraser Including Ngkala Rocks in a 2013 Mitsubishi Challenger with only a centre lock and all terrains. Not the world’s hardest driving granted but I had no issues while a lot of all the “bling” 4wds got bogged. You can have a lot of fun for next to no cost.
Hey guys your right more fun for sure I have a 3inch lift on 265/75 16s on my 105 cruiser would love to go 33s next but for now I have lots of fun and I still do most tracks believe it or not lol
Thanks Steve! Hopefully again soon! Dan's got something coming in the next couple weeks But yes need to get everyone out on a trip, just hard as all the boys have full time jobs 🤙
Hey guys, awesome as always. I know you are doing it for the fun of it, But, Just want to point out that the less capable 4x4 can often keep up by driving on the ridges instead of in the ruts. The ridges are often drier and rockier and less steps on them than the ruts that tend to hold water fill with soft mud and wear into steps. Keep up the good work as always and keep doing it the way you want. Ps, know anyone that wants a gq wagon?
If has not been mentioned yet, you may by able to get away with cracking the bolts on your door hinge and giving the door a slight adjustment. First check the bolt heads for marks that may indicate that the door has been removed previously - if the bolt heads are clean you may likely prefer to stay with Toyota's alignment if the issue is not too unbearable!! Great show fellas!
Not being able to open the door because of body flex is perfectly fine, the body and chassis is designed to flex like that with the suspension, mainly because it prevents vibrations and twisting from cracking the body and chassis. Hence why these vehicles take such a long time for metal fatigue to set in and kill it
Honestly lockers before lights and tires. My 2018 rubicon does just fine with the stock lift and tires. It’s a 2 door so it’s a little more stout. But it hangs with all the rigs on 35s just fine.
Love it lads, respect the bush or the bureaucrats will close them forever! Would be nice if local governments did allocate areas for people to go and rip it up and brake stuff to either keep lads and beers in the shed or to keep local shops in business!
Hey mate awesome video Judging by this ur LSD in the 80 seems to be very worn and is acting similar to a open diff and not providing limiting slip action which would make u walk these tracks 😊
I've owned a couple of different 4bies in my time and by far the 2 best ones where my coil around gq ute and my twin locked 75 what it lacked in flex it was about to crawl with all 4 driving the GQ had flex and 35s but open diffs let it down on technical stuff
i got a 75 with open diffs and can’t wait to get my front locker, even though it has 35s it flexes well for a leafy and out drives my dads locked hilux and many other cars
@@kyanbowker4957 It was on 33 and to be honest it out drove my GQ wagon GQ ute and my Gu ute lockers front and rear make things easier when I can afford a set my Gu will be getting some
Your Door problem. Is where the inner gaurd is bolted to the Fire Wall mount! They crack and fill up with Water and for some reason Toyota leave the Rubber bung in so it fills up with water and can't drain then rusts through to floor pan. It happened to me on Passanger side. Pull up your floor mat and look at floor going up the fire Wall?
Another great video.👍 I've been known to get out and push in some of these situations....BJ70 with a hand throttle...you just have to be able to get in the driver's seat again..lol.
Drawers are at least 120kg (I have the same just with 2 drawers and mine are 120kg) Rear bar I also have the same just on a 105 and it's 80kg with both swing aways. Then u gotta add a tyre I have a 35 spare so 50kg. Then 40kg for jerries. That's without a fridge or anything in the drawers so the weight adds up quick. Patrick's 80 will definitely be over gvm just like my 105 is.
I think your next mod should be a $400 Front Auto lokka, before you break something 😂 It’s the BEST budget mod I’ve done to make my Lux waaay more capable,, if your into Good budget products you can’t go past 4wd systems auto lokka, you’ll need Manual locking hubs to disengage front driveline but they are also cheap, gee the next few mods should keep ya content busy😜 Top work mate👍🏻👍🏻
Good to see you boys out having a tone of again. Definitely agree with what you said in the thumb nail to, honestly good wheel placement and line choices can get a rig further then all the fruit most of the time. Either way though love ya vids boys, keep it 💯
Great vid guy, was out there the other week and managed to do not much help with my courier without getting stuck hahaha, did reds track earlier that weekend, highly don't recommend hahaha
Track closures getting earlier and earlier each year is a joke.. Their is no way a fire truck or slip on will access those 2 tracks that are closed during a fire period. Main reason for all the closures is to stop people either ripping it up deliberately and making mud runs or others getting into serious trouble for one reason or another. Not sure how to balance this out but closing everything is not the answer. Fun video as always
It's probably a good idea if going 4x4ing with a Toyota Landcruiser & Nissan Patrol to find a mate with a Mitsubishi Pajero to go with you, just so you have a capable vehicle to winch you out when you get stuck...😉🤭😬😂🤣
I reckon the patrol should do better leafs or not it's LSD works so much better then the Toyota one 3 tires are better then 2 that the 80 offers Most of the time
Don't buy the cheap remotes they have too much delay and some decide to turn on when the battery goes flat. Get the giggle pin one..no delay and auto turn off.
Why do people always put leaf springs down? They are actually very good. For someone who has the tools in the back through the week and then take 200kg of weight off on the weekend it handles fine. Leafy cruiser talking about lol
Great video guys love the content. I no both the GQ and the 80 are turbo diesels but who run more HP or Torque out of the Toyota or the Nissan? Are either of them got intercoolers or is it something you thinking about for the future ?
@@nolz262 I used to have to drive my patrol way harder before I got a locker, the locker is the best purchase I’ve ever made for my car and I don’t flog the car anywhere near as much
Can vouch for that too, had 33s no lockers on my gu for ages, Got a locker and 35s on beadlocks and I’m already looking at 37s. Ended up driving everything on 35s easy want it harder now
Im out this weekend without them. The comment was more so to point out how much of a significant difference a locker would make. Not that you can't or shouldn't have fun without them
some company needs to sponsor these boys with some lockers! 👍
Sponsorship would be great, but I love how these lads do it without all the accessories, it's why I keep coming back to this channel!
They're whole channel is about not needed everything.
I find it refreshing and honest that they are not sponsored with a brand new canopy and redark set up thats out of reach to the average bloke. these blokes don't need that crap just for the likes and thats why I watch them...
@@laksirilynam1946 redark is over rated too...
Kings don't make lockers unfortunately

Thanks Paul!
would be awesome to see an updated video on buying a 4wd in today's market. cheers for the vids boys
Thanks mate! Yeah we are probably due for that!!
They could sell my gq wagon as an example

6:18 I'm glad they used a rock to chock off the back wheel instead of the ol' toyota handbrake
Have you ever done a comparison video with the 80 showing the difference it makes using the centre diff lock or not using it?

Great video guys! Think your rear diff needs some attention though in the 80 lol that passenger wheel isn’t doing much when you put the power down!
May be no need for em, but damn they help and fun asf, and they look good when mall crawling
Dud you should get auto locker. Makes so much difference and saves you smoking tyre
