Gday, one thing I’ll say, your not just buying shit, your researching the product and putting on only what you need, that’s bloody awesome, there’s so many setups out there that have that much crap hanging off all four corners for no reason, buy it once and buy what you need, great job mate, cheers
Thanks Matt! Yeah mate 7 inch lifts and 40cm h tyres isn’t for us haha 😂cheers legend
I feel your enjoyment in the build, it was the same for me during 2021 for my 200, I am not convinced the tune will be necessary.
Thanks mate!! We are proper excited about all this!! Cheers
Hey Keelan and Sarah, we met at the Syd 4x4 show - "Old Fella's Travels " - Mike. I've just put the new throttle controller on my 76 series. I have the unit disconnect and just use the Bluetooth app.
The greatest feature is you can disable the throttle with a pin code secured. Basically even if a thief starts your car, they can't get it past idle.
I remember mate that’s an awesome feature!! Can’t wait to do that haha
Love the new vid guys, Keep up the amazing work. The new 200 looks mint!
Thanks legend!! 🤙🏽🍻🤙🏽
Those throttle controllers are awesome I love em, Nice work on the wiring too 😎👍
Thanks Jay! It’s easy and cheap and it works!!
Hell yeah. Love the ARB Base rack. That awning looks tops. You and Sarah are killing the DIY bro.
Thanks mate!! We are frothing the rig! Trying to save some money on instal costs
Loving the build!
Thanks Richard!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Looks absolutely mint 👌
Thanks Tracey!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Looking real awesome guys. Nice work Keelan
Thanks mark 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
'Leroy' looking goood guys. With the EVC throttle controller being bluetooth controlled, you actually don't need to mount the EVC unit anywhere and connect with the USB-C Connector. You can just leave the unit in your glove box or centre console and just tidy up the usb-c cable up under the dash. I have the unit and I did leave it in my glovebox for a while but then I mounted it to the dash and plugged in the cable just so I could actually visually see it doing something. Look forward to the next vid team :)
Thanks Gary!! Sick mate that’s good info! Cheers legend
Looking spiffy. The rims really make it I agree.
Thanks legend! Loving the rims aye!
Sarah
And Keelan, that’s one nice 200 that you’ve built, you should be proud 😊

Awesome guys, Leroy is coming along just dandy, that "sick" in ol mans speak lol 😆

Thanks Rolly, finally have a good awning we can use and it only takes a couple seconds to setup
Awesome work cleaning up the wiring, looks better than stock. Build is coming along excellent!
Thanks grant we are loving it! Finally getting to know the car!
Mate , this 200 is sick !! Great looking cruiser !! Love the awning ! Would love one , maybe in the future..
Yew we are stocked with it! 270 freestanding is the way to go! Thanks legends
Yeah so much easier to follow wires when its not dark and pelting down with rain, definitely looks better. Coming together well
Hahah that’s for sure! Cheers mate appreciate it!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Great video 🙌🏻 keep up the awesome content 🤙🏻
Thanks legends!!
All coming together well team. It's gonna be a great vehicle when you're finished
Awesome thanks David!! We are pumped cheers for the comment
Bless you Keelan 🤣🤣
Haha cheers mate
Keelan you're killin' it. A handyman. The wiring tidied up is impressive That sound not too exessive. Music to my ears that V8 sound. See ya next week, I'll be around.
Thanks Malc!! Trying to save some money on instal Costs and learn about the car as I go! Know it pretty well now! Loving the exhaust mate it’s come up a treat!!
The Silver Surfer is looking mint 👍
I’m looking forward to the next installment keep it up 😁👍🍻
Thanks David!! Appreciate it mate 🤙🏽🍻🤙🏽
solid
Tyler Thompson was the one to callout Rhino Rack he then told Ronny about the load rating and Ronny told Tyler he didn't know what he was talking about, alot of Ronnie's follower had a go at him about his response to Tyler.
Ronny then investigated into it more then released the load rating video and changed brands
Awesome looking set up guys, good on yah
Thanks legend!! 🤙🏽🍻🤙🏽
Hot dam! Doing an awesome job on your build mate! That cruiser is looking like a weapon! Well done guys!
Thanks legend!! Appreciate the comments 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Looking great guys! Congratulations. Not sure how the sun roof opens, but if it’s gonna foul with the wind deflector, maybe pull the fuse to prevent someone accidentally using it
It actually dosnt at all, all functions work and don’t clash at all!
@@SarahandKeelanTravels that’s awesome! Good design then!
Cracking ep guys she coming along awesome,
Thanks Craig 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Bloody looks fantastic. Watch that rear axle weight , even with the GVM upgrade on my 2018 VX I come really close to going over 2tonne. The rear axle load is the one too watch 👍
Thanks mate will do!! Will be doing a weight video soon showing weights ect!! Cheers
@@SarahandKeelanTravels - now this I'm *really* looking forward to...
Looking bloody awesome 🍺🍺
Thanks legends!!!
Hi Keelan, Be cautious with the map can easy achieve high kW & torque but increase boost & more fuel can come at a cost . mild increase OK but possibly for your long term reliability is the key. Personally 2.5 ton van my LC 200 never struggles. Le Roy is looking very 😎
Thanks Ian! We are leaning towards transmission remap aswell as a intake manifold clean and also a towing tune which will bring the engine back to stock torque figures with the bigger wheels and weight
Nice work on the wiring mate, was hideous
Thanks Richard!
That van is looking good 🤙
Hahah not our van 😂😂🤙🏽 nice looking van for sure though
@@SarahandKeelanTravels, in South Africa we (at least i do) refer to, what you drive, vans........, but yes that hybrid / caravan looks pretty good too
Enjoy watching all your content guys but loving watching the new car build wish I had a cruiser maybe one day hey. I’ve kept all my wiring super neat pet peeve of mine too. Keep up the good work from a fellow sparky from WA 😊
Thanks John!! Appreciate it mate!! Sparky, how good! We are missing WA! Weather looks great over there
Nice vid guys. I too have retired my Prado, but only because bad fuel killed it. Happy travels, Paul Wheel Drive 😉
Spewing mate! That’s horrific worst nightmare!!

Hi and thank you for you Chanel we get a lot out of it and enjoy the content.
Could you please do a detailed review of your Bush Company 270 Deg Awning Please.
We value your opinion and would appreciate your findings.
Thank You
Brad
Looks good mate, would have liked you to talk about the awning though…. Show how it packs up and it’s strength ect
It’s coming mate! Got to save some things for the walkaround video!!
In regards to Rhino Racks. Not all have an on road/ off road rating. For example. For your 200 series. Being you have a 150kg load rated roof. If you get the Pioneer rack and back bone system. After fitting the Rhino rack taking off the 37kg it weighs you are left with 113kg on and off road.
I'd be interested to know also where ARB state the carrying capability of the rack, off road, and whether it decreases, like most manufacturers. As usual, their website offers little information, and the previous salespeople spoken to, don't seem to have the knowledge on it. A few of them did mention though, that the baserack is built in collaboration with Rhino, whether there is truth to that I'm not sure.
Thanks Andrew, didn’t realise and shouldn’t of got my info of 200 owners Facebook page haha just assumed people knew but clearly don’t I take full ownership of stuffing that up. 200 has a 200kg roof rating apparently!
Checked with ARB and there’s no such thing in there racks all the same weights and capacity’s regardless
The rhino is rated to 150kg also however my prado only good for 100kg , the major issue you said earlier about different weights etc does not exist with cars that are bolted down it’s more for the ones that need to be riveted. I did my research and the rhino with backbone on the prado will take the full total weight that the roof is rated for! Exactly the same as your wagon.
Love the rims and tyre size mate
Thanks legend 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Awesome build guys! In my opinion, the rhino is the nicer looking rack and you can’t go past their range of accessories but the other companies are catching up and they have caught onto the load ratings which is a huge advantage over the backbone and platform system. You can’t go wrong these days and the ARB will last forever no doubt. Looking forward to finishing off this series 👍
Here we go team 🎉
Yewwww
Mate this is brilliant wondering how youre getting on with wind noise for the rack setup? Im about to gran one for my y62!
Hey guys! Did you run the 2b&s straight to the battery or fuse block? Most fuse blocks I’ve seen are max 30a per circuit. I’d imagine your caravan cabling would be pulling 60 amps?
The build is going well! Not sure if you know, you have a throttle controller button (ECT PWR) standard in the 200!!
Yeah mate thanks, had a play with that when I first got the car! Sort of does half of what the EVC does which is fine! EVC has a bit more adjustment too
Car protection , Racks, Nuts, whacking it on, letting it rip to see if it fits ,maken sure it’s tight and can take the weight with minor adjustments haha are we on the right show 🤪🤪🤪 All I can say is thank god for milk crates ! Coming alone nicely guys and next week Voom Voom Voom big bore exhaust ✅✅🍻🙌
Hahahaha bit of aussie slang jargon haha 😂
@@SarahandKeelanTravels Have ya thought about replying to 40thousand Friends every week and sometimes twice a week Hahaha 🤪
Hahah yes I have actually 😂😂😂
@@SarahandKeelanTravels their onto it 👍👍 won’t be long by the looks 👀
I’m very confused hahaha
The truck looks awesome mate.....tell me, what offset are the ROH Assaults you used? Thanks in advance for the reply.
I went with a 180 because I felt the rear door would make impact on the 270 and after a while it will lose its integrity ? Whats your experience ?
Good looking rig now mate 👍🏻
Thanks Stuart!! 🤙🏽🍻🤙🏽
How long you reckon it took you to assemble the rack and install it? Roughly? Thanks
The lock tite is also to seal the bolts.
I’m double sealed then 😎😎
Cracka rig right there...awning looks great. may need one me think 😜
Thanks Sam!! They are really good!!
Wot a smicko Keelan a real tuff truck 🚛 that front bar and those wheels I want a set friggin awesome 👍 you better line Derick up for a drag I reckon you will blow him away cause you got 2 turbos cheers legends
Thanks mate! We are loving it! Haha Derycks manual 79 has got no hope mate 😂
I got the 30 second awning that take me 20 seconds lol
Bush company make good gear
Hahaha 🤣 I sometimes make 2 minute noodles in 1 minute 30 haha 😆
Ha ha ha love the build and the measures you take to protect the paint - my attempt was not such a good outcome but would now never know 😜
How is getting the awning canvas bag all lined up and then having to put holes in it - my ocd ran hectic for a week let me tell you!
Looks awesome!
Haha thanks tony!
Yeah gotta protect the shiny paint haha I know hey it’s hard to get it all lined up properly!!
If Toyota's roof weight rating is 150kg then you need to subtract the weight of the base rack to give you the total of weight that you can put on the rack. So if the rack weighs 23kg then you can put up to 127kg on it. Still a good amount of weight though.
It’s 200kg apparently and yes of course you remove the rack weight as it’s sitting on the roof, we still have around 170kg minus awning minus solar panel minus maxtrax ect still got heaps of wiggle room
Hahahahaaaa 100 % that spaghetti is ARB handy work, That is the same as the pic I sent you mate lmfao 😂 😂
Yeah… slap it together shll be right haha 😂 Narh mate it won’t be right! Can’t deal with messy spaghetti
It might pay you to watch the last video of the Todoing Family channel and see how their 200 Sahara was written off because the sun roof drains be came blocked and so the water got into the wiring ,computer etc result was a write off .
I will have a look at the drains today thanks for the heads up
What were those mounts again for the awning?
Mate every time I look at the rims and tires just want the same
Get them mate haha they are awesome! Transforms the car!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Hey guys, I just came across your channel today and I’ve subscribed already. I just got myself a 200 series Sahara last week so I’m keen to go back and watch all your videos. Just a quick question, is the awning an ARB one or some other brand?
Can you please confirm the brand/ supplier for the wrap thanks. Also the "power" button in the 200 will give you the instant response a throttle controller offers. Also be great if you can add chapters to vids of this duration cheers mate.
Bush wraps installed by street appeal victoria
That rack looks solid. Just need a tinny on it now haha
Haha running out of money fast!! 🤣🤣
FYI rhino rack don't de-rate the rack on most bolt on roof racks this includes the 200 series so that's 113kg payload once the rack system is deducted from 150kg all the load rating info is on their website when you look up your vehicle.
Leroy is coming along bloody awesome guys. 👌 do you have any plans for a roof top tent to go off into more remote areas?
Can't wait to see this in action this summer!!
Hey mate think we are going the swag option haha but old school!!
Bloody can’t wait to get out and use it though
Going by the thumb nail i thought this was mainly about the 270 awning....maybe another week. Build coming along nicely though.
Just one piece of the complicated puzzle mate!
Great episode guys. How did you mount the fuse box to the battery tie down?
Thanks Dean! Just used few nuts and bolts mate!!
Yea, I like this idea too. Think I'm going to steal this idea too.
Love love love the car..... Ive just installed a Throttle controller. What setting do you tow in? Ive yet to tow with it.
Thanks Andrew!! We have been running U-1 to tow!!
Rig is looking superb.!!.. impressed with 270° awning and Tanami workmanship and design is awesome. .!!
Got a curious queation? when yous used the Prado to sleep in the back with seats removed... what was the distance from the back of the drivers seat to the rear door? Thanks.!!
Thanks legend!! We are loving it!! Have no idea, I’m 6’2 and I reckon if you were 6 foot you could fit
@@SarahandKeelanTravels cool i would piss in at 5' 7" .. 🤣👍
Offroad animal Bull-bar looks better than ARB or TJM ones. Especially on a newer vehicle like the 200 series. When is the rear bumper coming, mate?
Thanks legend! We love the look and the approach angles! Rear bar is coming very soon
All I seen was the VN SS in the shed 😂
Hahah good car aye
@@SarahandKeelanTravels ripper bro loving the content & the new rig man can’t wait to get a 200 one day. Keep the mod coverage coming guys :)
Liking this build series guys! Did you guys get this ppf wrap at a discount? Everywhere I’ve looked locally is like $2k for a bonnet and front bumper and then $5-6k for a whole 4x4 ppf wrapped
hey Lachlan! thanks mate, narh we paid full price!
bushwraps advanced DIY kit is $1350 plus $500 for a pro to fit it to the car
cheers
Are there no businesses here in Perth that can do all your mods?.
Aspect offroad will do it for you
Am I the only one that heard the fart at 5:22 ? I heard that one all the way in the United States. I think I can taste it too. I love Reality Video's. Gr8 vid as usual!
Just an added effect while editing to make fun of the butt framing mate!
Why do you do cable size in BnS? mm square is a lot better especially for volt drop calcs
Normally mm, 240v sparky talk!!
Looks like a older Mk1 270xt awning with the silver top layer, hope you got a discount...
Yeah mate!! Bought it off a mate second hand! Cracker bit of kit! He only used it once! Cheers
@@SarahandKeelanTravels ahh nice one, Dont think there's too much different between em, just checking incase a shop sold you it as new with it being old stock n model etc, pick up my mk2 next Wednesday n gotta fit it to a ARB 3/4 tradie rack, wont be a straight forward with the tube's.
Fully sick
Thanks mate yew
😍👏
❤️❤️
How much was the car and build excluding electrical when finished.
Hahah how’s the manners on it
Thought it would be up there. Hahaha
Cost us around 300 million if I’m to honest
Why did you go the Armax snorkle but not the Armax computer over the throttle computer ??? I put the Computer and snorkel on my 2010 200 and although it is pricy it has done everything and more that I wanted. Just curious
We are going towards a different option!!
@@SarahandKeelanTravels was just curious, wondered if there was more to it than just a price option/sales pitch/ sponsorship, I’m from Albany and am heading across the border to spend 6 weeks in SA early next year and have been watching your channel for inspiration and advice.
Thanks
Muz
Where did you get the ppf done for that cheap
It’s a bush wraps kit and instal was 500$ and details I said in the video
@@SarahandKeelanTravels I thought it was bush wraps oh must of missed it I’ll go back and rewatch it thanks
Just so you know the 200 series roof with rails load rating is 200kg and the rhino pioneer with backbone is 150kg rating so 113kg on the roof is fine. They don't have an offroad reduction on my 200 sahara without rails on the pioneer with backbone. The problem with the rhino pioneer is with hilux not landcruiser
Thanks mate!! I read the wrong info unfortunately, apologies
@@SarahandKeelanTravels no worries mate, 200 cruisers are built for purpose with strong mounting points, it's mostly vehicles which have to have riveted mounting points that have problems with low roof loads when using these type of racks
whats the name of the song at 17 minutes?
Tune it for sure and do a trans tune at the same time which can achieve lock up strategies. Best decision I made. Cheers. Aaron @200serieslc
Awesome thanks for the info mate! Will have a look into it now! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
I've got the XTmax awning on the same rack on my 200. Unfortunately ARB installed it with the upper rear door being able to hit the awning when open. I'll take it back and get it fixed. Does your upper rear door hit the awning when opened up?
Hahah that’s typical of those guys mate! Narh mine dosnt, took a little bit of time adjusting it but it clears and fits really nice with the roof up!
270XT MAX would have looked better?
For sure couldn’t afford it though got this one cheap second hand off a mate
Rhino rack for 200 series is not derated, nor is it for Prado. Everyone going on about Ronny’s video but his issue was with the Hilux, different cars have different spec because how the rack is attached. There’s proper roof attachments for the factory rails, hence the higher rating, not so with Hilux. Think about it, Hilux, Nav etc, are designed to carry load in the tub, not on the cab roof. Rhino website is very clear on the load rating spec 🤦♂️
Ah well, would rather just go with a different company where it’s not even a thing to have different load ratings. Don’t even need to think about it or google it.. happy with the base rack
Rather have the VN SS.
Off you go then, go buy one instead of choosing to watch our 200 series video 😂😂
What is the offset of the rims
Pos 35
Bobs your aunties uncle (should be brother). John Cadogan fan I see,
Bro, I have headphones on, what happened there @5:26 ! 😂
Hahaha too much hot sauce 😂😂
Yea not sure you did good research on that rack, the roof load is 200kg and Rhino Rack can carry 150 kg including rack
To be honest I actually did on 200 owners page and yes that’s silly, I know now I shouldn’t read anything as not gospel
are you saying your roof rack carry 150kgs and you cruiser roof can caryy 150kgs? or you are saying the roof loading rating of you LC 150kgs and seeing your 25 kg plus 150kg rook rack means now you roof rack can only carry 125kgs or less? Right?
Apparently the roof rating is 200, yes you subtract the weight of the rack as that’s weight going on the roof
Loving watching this and getting inspiration, but, not Leroy. How about Lance (lin)?
Haha Leroy is official unfortunately we held a vote on our community page and majority voted for Leroy sorry
Seriously don't need to tune. They have so much power. You don't need more. More power equals more heat. Long term heat is damaging. If your going to keep it don't tune I reckon.
We have added a lot of weight and bigger shred ect so looking at getting it back to a factory power level with all the new mods! Wouldn’t be pushing big numbers or anything!
Throttle controller… doesn’t the ECT PWR button do the same thing?
I thought the same thing but no it dosnt it to 1/4 of what the EVCx does!!
