I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Nick is such a legend. But you can clearly tell he drives a Nissan. 😁
Tyler and Demi, having a mate like Nick is a blessing. I wanna borrow him when I do the Simpson and the CSR -
He needs his own channel - Nick’s tips and tricks to become a bush mechanic!
Take an old race and cut through one side with a grinder, perfect for knocking the new race in and the split makes it come out easy once done
Smart move putting in the part time kit. Great to see Nick on the channel. Bloody good value.
So you finally seen the light and got a toyota congratulations
For the dash mat, use zip ties through the dash vents to hold it in place, won't move but can still clean under it
Nick, while spraying the underside of the 80, it's good to see you wearing your safety glasses... on your head, as opposed to over your eyes.🤣 It's the effort that counts, I suppose. 😁
🤣🤣 Yeah Nick. Safety glasses are meant to be worn over your eyes, and not on your head. 😁
lol
Tyler
Re the dash mat, use 2 cable ties either side, what you do is bend about 5cm of the tip of the cable back on itself to make a sharp hook, then feed it down past the dash demister slats near your window
The folded bit will pop up the other side of one of the slats, grab it with needle nose pliers, pull it thru and you can connect the cable tie and it will hold the mat, it doesn't need to be tight just firm
Cheers mate
The lady's rig is coming on nicely.......
Mechanic is a legend 👍🤙
Love this build series, this is how all build series should be , fun and entertaining…
Cheers mate
Those Velcro picture mounting things is what I used on my dash matt. Cheers Guys 👍 🐕 🤠
Removing the cone washers by hitting the side of the axle flange like that deforms it and prevents it from seating correctly. It's largely why they break. Fsm has the correct procedure.
I use double sided outdoor mounting tape for everything. Dash mats, UHF you name it. Bit nervous about tech screws everywhere.
Thanks team
Velcro tape for the dash mat 😉👍
I use zip ties on front screen vents to hold mat in place. Only need two
U can put zipties through vents on dash against the glass it will hold your dash matt
Make sure you guys put a good alarm system in it
To keep ur dash mat from sliding off I use cable ties through the demister vents and around the dash mat 100% better then double sided tape only need 2 and it’s done
Glad Demi had taken off the watch this episode. Was waiting episode "Demi destroys her watch". Also safety glasses with the wire wheel would be recommended.
Little elastic draw strings through the demister vents and dash mat. Completely removable with no sticky residue if ever removed
instead of 35's get 315's they're the same diameter just a slightly slimmer tire but give you a bit better performance for you're car over the 35's
Also harder to find in the outback
@@joels2517 yea personally I haven’t had much trouble with losing tyres in the outback just gotta make sure you get a good quality set of tyres 👍
@Roasted Junky me either but the time you do....
We got sandgrabbas for our 90 series. Also didn't like the wait time, but they're so much better than universal mats.
Zip tie the matt on, around the windscreen vent.
Welcome to the 80series landcuiser world there should be a couple off Nissan's going cheap soon ay 😅 and to have the missis working underneath doing the thing wow shes hooked mate , good job guys a great looking rig 👍
The 80 will look neat once its done and thats from a patrol owner😂
Enjoying the vids Tyler👍
cool episode, so cute getting Zeph to say peace.... 😁
3m double sided tape for the dash mat works a treat
Loving this raw build series. The struggles we all go through working without a lift in the garage 🇦🇺🤙🏻
Starting to take shape mate 👍🏻🏴
At theast the misses has a great taste in cars! ;) up the mighty 80!
Looks great with the white flares, great work as always Demi and Nick on the tools, good job on camera and commentary Tylzz👍
Thanks mate
Tyler needs a work bench in garage for these bearing jobs.
Good job guys 🤙
It's not leaking it's "sweating horsepower" 😅
This has been brilliant.👌👍
🔥🔥🔥
The cruise is looking sick. Colour-coded looks awesome. See you travelling around Port one day
Cheers mate
I can’t believe you let that 6 fingered banjo player work on your Toyota Demi
But I do get a laugh out of some of his one liners 😂😂
Very good episode and nice build!
Greetings from the Netherlands
Nice job. 80 is legend :-)
I gotta say after many years of owning Landcruisers, the part time kit is an awful idea. I know lots of people do it but it introduces excess stresses into the rear drive line. Fuel savings are negligible. My current 109 series has 810,000 is and never touched eithe diff. And it’s been to Cape York 4 times. I’m loving this build. 80s are awesome.
Full time 4wd (all wheel drive) is a blessing over rear wheel drive & locking in hubs. He’s used to Nissans I guess in that regard and wanted to add back in the extra step to make things a bit more work for himself.
A brown bull bar would look sick on the 80 match the decals
Looks like it's all coming together guys 👍👍 peace out Zeph ✌️
good going crew .... Demi, throw some glasses on when ya on the wire wheel, trust me, those bastards fly off and can stab straight in ya eyeballz, had a few misses with them, more so higher speed and the staino wheels but yeh I wouldn't chance it with those dodgy kents
Looks so dam good ❤
I'm curious as to why you'd change the full time 4wd system to a part time 4wd system.
Sticky dots mate work a treat to hold down dash mats. Also gives you the ability to remove it easily.
For the dash mat, I used sticky sided valcro. Used one on each side and in the middle
Get a Kapp industry fire extinguisher bracket for the front of the seat. Everyone should have one. 305/70/r16 Is the onlybtyre to run on your 80 for all round use.
Toyota equals banging to change seals
Gunna need a bigger shed 😜👍👍
100%
Who would've thought to colour code the flares, heaps cleaner look. For dash Matt, metho/ wax and grease remover to remove previous armour all. And then velcro squares or dots
use a universal adhesion promoter to help the velcro strips stick to the dash (don't forget to clean the heck out of the dash first though lol)
Small cable ties on the demister vents will hold the dash mat on
Good on you guy's looking great
I'm team Nissan just saying sorry Dem........
Hey Tyler that's my favourite of the Toyota's but don't tell Dem
Double sided tape or velcro for the dash mat
Double side tape to keep dash matt
Double sided tape for the dash mat
Looks like Sam young’s, but nice. And way less cringey
I thought that you would spray stone gaurd under the wheel arches at the same time.
I had a 80 also and the pinion seal leaked. My diff breathers where blocked which caused the seal to go. Make sure your breathers aren’t blocked 👍🏻
Cheers for the tip
Peace Zeph✌
actually can't stomach any more car build vids 😢😢
Hopefully he doesn’t listen to you 😂
He doesn’t have 4wd247 money to have cars built in the background and keep bringing content Tyler’s channel is good not just camping but actually some knowledge for people unlike yourself who’s obviously the best
You're fooling no one pal you watched to the end
@Hayden Smith 😂😂, I actually didn't, first tyler ep I haven't watched to the end actually
Tyler, I love your awkwardness and trying to start a vlog Best part of the video, mumble your words and restart your sentences at the end.
You can stop the dash mats moving around with tek screws. Just do what Camarata would do.......
If you really want part-time 4x4, a part-time T-case kit with full-time hubs keeps the stronger hubs, keeps 4x4 selectable from inside the cabin, and the fuel cost difference is actually proven to be negligible compared to free hubs.
Whats the point of converting the transfer for manual locking hubs? I dont get it
@@sethparkinson1023 most people convert from factory full-time to part time 4x4, because they incorrectly believe it saves fuel, and or they like how a rear wheel drive car drives (or they want to do burn outs). Countless people have tested this and it doesn’t save significant fuel, and if it does, it is such a small amount. It also removes some added on road safety that full time 4x4 provides. What it does do is reduce driveline slop, and will certainly make it feel and steer a bit different. Tyre wear is also changed a bit.
Instead of just putting a part time kit in the transfer case (to reduce driveline slop) people also put manual hubs on, again, because they think that a turning diff and axles uses up extra fuel-it really doesn’t in any significant way. If they want part time for it’s only really advantages (Band-Aid for driveline slop, and different feel when driving), then they should keep the far stronger full time hubs-at least that way you don’t have to get out and manually lock hubs.
P.S. it is a contentious issue, and there are hardcore believers who will argue against this.
@@ontic2354 thats what i thought! Thanls for clarifying that mate, i appreciate it
@@ontic2354 I reckon if you want to part time swap a Landcruiser, you should just buy a Patrol.
@@ash300186 I don’t think it’s that black and white, and I’m happy enough with a full time 4x4 105FTE, driveline slop and all-if I wanted part time, Id just do the T-case and keep the full time hubs. Just never having to get out in mud and shite conditions to lock and unlock manual hubs would be worth the tiny amount of fuel difference it might make, and you keep stronger hubs too. I mean, it’s a petrol 80 series, getting built for a comfortable reliable family and cruising car for Demi-saving something like 0.05% fuel if that just to have weaker hubs that you need to get in and out to lock to get into 4x4? It’s a downgrade to me.
I don’t know why so many people launch straight into this as a first essential mod, but they do.
❤❤
I wish Nick wouldn't bag Toyotas all the time you can tell he drives a Nissan the 80 was and still is a good truck I owned one for 10 years he should man up and buy one don't listen to him Demi grubs drive Nissans thats why I drive a GU now only sofisdecated people drive Toyotas love the banter 😊 cheers legends ☺️
🛠️❤️💪
I’m still unsure about the part time kit $1200 and I’ve heard mixed reviews about helping with economy
Noice Vid....
Flare rubbers come in white too mate
Use a few zip ties where the demister vents are my dashmat never moves
Don't know with the fill plug heads are so thin. SurlybNick could have whipped into work and pressed on the bearing.
Hey guys, please be careful with those wire wheels. They are notorious for firing tiny pieces of brass into your eyes. Losing an eyes is no fun and trying to blink with a spear in your eyeball will make you scream like a child. Ask me how I know.
Lovin' the build, though a white alloy bull-bar without a hoop will complete the looks without adding weight. The last thing you want is weight so I hope you get some light weight wheels to, unless......turbo & tune.
Hey tyler, what company did you use for the AWD to RWD conversion
All four x 4 spares mate
@Tyler Thompson thank mate, keep up the good work. Love the build eps
Can't wait for the toyota vs nissan battle
Red Suzuki is that the teaser for the next project?
Na that's Nick's second car
Mrs asked if your planning a cameraman/mechanic series vs. tjandmac
Nothing planned, would be good 😁
Nics due for another limter basher from 80
Surely
Velcro
please use a mask when sanding the rust you don't want to breath in iron oxide particles
Please look for a diesel engine..
The 80 needs chromies and a factory bar.
Agreed
Disagree with colour coding the flares, sorry Demi, they appear to bulge now, contrast appearance was more slimline.
You now need to play them down by filling the gap with nice rock slider. Just my opinion.
Daft, I say daft and just incase you missed it, DAFT idea converting from full time to partime 4X4.
It's not contensous, its DAFT.
Bloody hell, manual hubs too, WHY??? distroy a working concept, oh I know, just because the GQ, GU dont have full time it cant be a good thing, bullshit.
Gave Tyler credit for having more sence that that, sorry.
"Gary, give your boy a 🦶 kick in the arse". 😂😂😂😂
Part time kit I would not waste my time I don't think you gain any thing
Hope nick is still working for S and P and you haven’t dogged the owner??
Get rid of shit decals too mate,or pay someone else,no ,get your mate Mick to do it,he's done everything else
You ok mate ? 😂
😂
Honestly looked better before
#kinchrome help a guy out
Surely
