Well, my FJ62 series Land Cruiser Sahara, which I've owned for 25 years has done over 700.000km very few mods and original drive train apart from rebuild transmission, bigger tyres and bullbar, winch etc is ready for its next trip to far north Queensland. It's done many across the country. Literally never has me walking.
That’s amazing to hear mate
That's crazy man. And much more environmentally friendly than swapping out your car every three years. Ironic that these do-gooders are probably looking at your car thinking that it's the worst thing for the environment
@@je2338yes I have to say, even with the amount of fuel it uses, it's been the cheapest car I've ever owned, I'm 63 now and the thing will outlast me. it's on LPG as well still, even less pollution. I only use it on petrol in the outback, no LPG available. Other than that it's a daily driver. God bless.
And it still be more reliable than the new ones which is why I've built a FTE 105
Definitely worth getting gas struts for the rear tailgate, no more smashing down on you!
Defs on the list !
2013 manual Dmax with 200,000. Only problem so far was a slave cylinder that got replaced at about 70,000km. Oil and filter get changed religiously every 10,000km
The oil changes are key to longevity i reckon too !
I have the exact same canopy mate and you can get the bars for the inside of the canopy to put weight on top! I have a rhino rack platform on my canopy my dmax is a 2011 and a classic arb canopy👍
Nice one ! We contacted ARB a few months back and they no longer sell them we have been told
@@nomadsandsam that sucks mate mines probably only 12 months old, must have got it just in time
As for the struts, I made a strap with a loop at each end and just hook it over the glass latch and my roof bar.
I had a 2009 D-max and never had clutch issues even now being at 210000 k. It was a well known issue with the early D-Max that affected some but not others.
I also added a Department of Interior console to give more storage and the much needed cup holders. 😊
Clearly unfortunately effected ours which sucks haha, might have to look into that console !
2007 ML triton with the bulletproof 4m41 she’s a bit rough atm but has taken me across the country and is still kicking! 315km atm bit of a refresh and will probably get another couple hundred out of it!
Love to see it mate !
Great video thanx. I've got an 08 Colorado auto with 330000 on the clock. Runs well and have done The Cape and Gibb River Road towing a small camper trailer. No major problems yet and am about to head off on another 2 or 3 month trip. Based in Adelaide. Ive fitted an adjustable chip and can say it was probably the best mod so far. Better fuel economy and performance = win-win. Also have air bags and agree, keep your pressures low and dont over load your vehicle.
Love to see another 4jj kicking goals !
Just came across this channel. Like your setup and look forward to the rest of the journey.
Thanks mate hope you enjoy
I think you might have your wires crossed when it comes to timing chain, it does not need replacing as do the belts on the regular but as chain stretch they do need changing at some point. Just something to bear in mind
Not sure what this means sorry mate, very hard to read
@@nomadsandsam belts need replacing on the regular but chains don't, chains how ever do need replacing when they stretch or the chain tensioners wear out. Just because it has a timing chain doesn't mean it never needs replacing. Something to think about so you aren't caught out
Our 105 cruiser is over 500k! And still going strong 💪
That’s mint bro 🤙
I have ordered a new 2014 DMax that should be here to pick up by the 21 May 2024 - Like 2 wks away. Ill be reviewing the new veh and build etc on my channel if your interested. Old Fella's Travels. Had a 2020 76 LC for the last 4 yrs and it was a beast, but over kill for what I need now. Enjoyed your espisode. Cheers, Mike
Will have to keep an eye out for it, keen to see it thanks mate
You’ll find it much more comfy that’s for sure
Great video 💯🇦🇺
Thanks guys
Just hit 500ks on mine’s maintenance definitely a big thing
Dmax ?
Amateurs. Mines done over 450000. 98 vx Grande Prado. Still running fine
Love to see it
Not sure if those front shock bushes are installed correctly.....
Yeah they did a shonky job 😂
I reckon 😊
Isuzus are real slugs stock standard a tune would be a given for them
Defiantly made the difference
as for the clutch,you dont need to push the throttle before lifting the clutch peddle as i a petrol engined vehicle,if you do it will murder the clutch.
I’m fairly certain i know how to drive a manual 🥴
@@nomadsandsam that’s not what I tried to explain,maybe you could read my explanation again ,
@@nomadsandsam I think he's saying let clutch out fully before giving it the boot
I-PooZu, Nice ride tho
The bfg ko2 tyre are in general really bad in the wet
We only found that when they were worn in hey
$2500 for rear wheel bearings??? I’m a qualified mechanic and can confirm that is the biggest rip off I’ve ever heard of, it should only take about 2 hours a side, with parts and labour that should be easy under $1000
This was ontop of a service mate, $900 just for that part
@@nomadsandsam fair enough, I assume they must of been genuine parts cause you can get the kits for $120 a side
It’s not great if you need a new clutch every 50k jeez.
Lucky the last time it was covered under warranty
Ford ranger can’t make it that far absolute junk 😂😂😂
Past bad experience ?
