We took a few day trip up to the White Mountains, NH. But before we could go I had to fix a coolant leak. I needed a new O-ring for an oil cooling water pipe. I'll also break down how work on an engine with a tilt cab truck that doesn't tilt, haha.

Thanks for watching subscribe for more Elf fixes and trips
Nice camper Sir
Thank you!
I did not know the panel under the drivers seat comes out, I have a leaking pipe on that side. Looks like a badly done join in diesel inlet or return line. Now I know how to get to it. Not done much work on my Isuzu NHS; changed the brake fluid, did the fuel filter, and cleaned out water heater and ordered a new cathode. Its been a bit hot 42.0c - 109 Fahrenheit on Christmas day. Still not tackled the cambelt or water pump. Thanks for the inspirational videos Bobby.
Thanks for watching! Yeah I wish I knew too remove the panel before I did the belts it would have made a huge difference in that job. Yeah anything on that side I think would be a breeze to get to if you needed anything done over there
I wanted one of these campers so bad… looked impossible to upgrade watching ur videos has mad me realize to just get it and do it 👍 thank you for living my dream before me if u ever have to sell it please call me first lol 😂
Hahah thanks for watching! You're totally right I didn't know a thing and have learned it all as I go. We do have a small group of people with them and we share info so you'll have support! www.ebay.com/itm/125082442394 umm here is yours!
Good work man🔥
Thank you, I owe the editing to you!
lookin’ good
Absolutely envious of your Elf. I’ve been thinking of getting JDM camper for awhile now. For some reason I’ve always been drawn to the Isuzu’s. I would love to see a tour and a walkthrough of what you’ve done to it. Love the vids and the awesome mobile!!
Thanks! There should be a tour coming later this spring after I finish a few more things. Thanks for watching! And I highly recommend that you get an isuzu camper.
Thanks for that access tip mate-brilliant! I have a weep on the turbo oil return pipe due to some previous bodgery , this will help no end! Hope you still have yours??
Nice glad it will help! Oh yeah mine Elf isn't going anywhere! I'll have a new video out soon fixing my speedometer
VERY helpful video!
Thank you for filming this! I don't yet have a leak at that point but I already bought an entire 4JG2 engine seal set off ebay. It was the only place I could find one. I also need to replace my diesel heater. It is inop at this time but I am most likely going to replace with a Chinese new model.
doing the seals sounds like a really good idea. Did yours come with the diesel heater? Mine came with a massively heavy broken propane heater ahah I couldn't wait to get rid of that thing. But the Webasto is amazing, super expensive but other then that I am super happy with it. I watch a lot of Foresty forest videos and he runs his Chinese diesel heater all the time and its going strong so doesn't seem like a bad place to save a little money.
@@bobbyswampfox mine came with a diesel heater that is already plugged into the tank. It is a japanese version. I love forresty forrest videos. I watch all of them too!
Oh he got the snickers on
Haha should have had the knee pads in
Thanks for the videos, love seeing the Elf in the snow.
I have an Elf in Oz, 4x4 auto and not had to engage full off road drive yet
Fitted a garret turbo to the 4JG2 but no intercooler, helped with the torque at 2000 rpm
What size rims and tires are you running on the rear, mine are the smaller duals.
Keep the videos coming
Great job
Nice, thank you! I'll keep making them thanks for the motivation.
That sounds cool, how involved was installing that turbo?
My rear wheels are the same as the front just single wheel not duelly. 16" rim with the Firestone Transforce AT2 terrain commercial light truck tire LT225/75R16 115 R E tires
You answered my question in this video. Trying to find parts for the Nissan Atlas is not easy. I have had to order parts out of Japan, but I see you are getting parts here in the U.S. Maybe the Isuzu is the better way to go with the Japanese campers.
I have trouble finding most here too I still import parts. I think you can find parts for the Nissan too but not all. I'll reach out to a friend that is selling his atlas he did a ton of work to his
So no good insight on the atlas info. But I use jp-carparts.com to order most parts or fitinpart.sg but other than that it's a lot of research
AMAYAMA is a great site for importing car parts, just look at the right chassis codes and youre good to go.
Same process as working on my HiAce, not difficult but time consuming to get access. Hey, could do with some cold weather over here in hot Australia😀
haha nice, grass is always greener I was freezing reminiscing of the summer while I was working on it. BUT then I did love snow camping/driving
Please tell me toy have a CO2 alarm in the van.
Does the van come with some form of water heating to stop pipes from freezing, that or your go to winterizing ideas? Do you use your taps and shower in the winter etc?
No nothing like that no shower or hot water in the winter I have a 5 gallon tank with a submersible pump for running water but nothing for pex pipes.
