Happy, Safe Adventuring - Cheers Graham.
Thank you for the in depth walkthrough, looking at different ideas to do something similar to my 80. take care
After owning lacklustre Utes and a PJ Sport towing a small caravan. I decided to buy a new LC Sahara. Suddenly towing became a pleasure and not a nightmare. Some people think it is overkill because I don't plan to go off road just tow my van. But hey sometimes you just have to pay the money to stay safe. Enjoyed watching your video.
Absolutely mate - not much out there that will tow better than a LC200....if that fills your purpose who’s there to judge if you take it off-road or not.
Vise versa - plenty of people say it’s crazy me taking my 200 off-road, but it’s the purpose I need it to fill and it does it easily!!!
great walk around video Graham. I love the 200's :) I should really do a video on our Discovery 4..... though it doesn't have half as much going on as your car does!!! would probably have to include our Camper Trailer in the video as well, just for the added content. LOL.... Cheers, Don (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland)
great video I did a walk around of my 80 series last year time for another I guess.
Been about 2yrs between walk arounds....amazing how much can change.
One must be more creative with the limited room of a wagon, versus a ute tub or particularly a tray back vehicle. You have certainly done that. An outstanding set-up and the way you talk, makes a lot of sense that only comes with experience.
Thanks Kevin - yeah it was pretty tricky when we first got the LC200 especially having come straight from a ute tub and canopy.....but we made it work and have been refining it ever since.
Nice wrap-up video Graham. Well thought out form and function of all your mods. Everything seems purposeful and at hand for your adventure duties !! Enjoyed it. Thanks.
Thanks Wilson - it’s taken a few changes and tweaks along the way, but that’s to be expected......overall, were very happy with it now.
Good stuff mate, living the dream you are. Well done.
You mentioned 400 Nm from factory and your power upgrade is now up around 600 ..... the twin turbo diesel V8 had 650 Nm from factory so I don’t know what happened to yours, I’d be getting that checked out
Keep up the good work mate, enjoy the videos 👍
Thanks mate - we used a chassis dyno, so you need to remember to include a drivetrain powerloss component.....which can range from 20-40% depending on make, model, tyre size....etc, in this case the 200 is close to 40% as its turning all 4 tyres and they are bigger than factory.....so add 40% to the 600nm after result and it’ll be somewhere around the 840nm mark at the crank.
Nice rig mate
Hi mate, love your vid's being a fellow 200 owner:)
Regarding your Aux battery, I fitted a 135 Ah no probs.
Keep up the great work:)
Thanks mate - Yeah I just updated the aux batt....fitted a 130Ah SSB AGM
Hey Graham, another awesome video! This channel is growing an producing some great content! Well done! Loving all of it.
Thanks Henry - we appreciate your support. Hope you have a merry Christmas and happy new year and we see you back here in the new year.
thanks Graham! And merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and Jess!
Fantastic, comprehensive video Graham! Thank you.
Ever thought about getting a Lead Crystal Aux Battery? They can use up to 100% of the Ah, Charge quicker than AGM, More cycles than AGM, operating temperature range is pretty decent too, and they cost about 1/3 of the price of lithium. Also if you're camped for a few days consider making your solar panels detachable so you can be parked in the shade of trees and be able to redirect the panel at the best angle for the sun. Or have a solar blanket that you can hook up in parallel to your fixed panel.
It’s an option, but my charger doesn’t have a Lead Crystal profile and it’s my understanding they need pretty specific charging profiles.
Great vid Graham the trucks looking super tuff. You presented that like a pro 👍😎🛠
Thanks mate - appreciate the support 👍🏻.
perfect work but :D
... fire extinguisher :D It suppose to be at least 2.2046 Funt
Hey mate awesome rig, what is the rear number plate bracket you have installed I need one...
Put it over the weighbridge as it sits then tell us how many kg's over GVM you are, because you are definately over with that gear you've bolted to it.
Heady Rip
Don’t cry.
Harden the fuck up, lady.
awesome video sir
Awesome setup, thanks for the walk around bro.
@Jeffery Maximiliano a tip: reported you for spam
Cheers Konig - saved me the hassle 😂
Awesome walk through of the 200 mate!
Hey Graham, great vid mate. Given me some great ideas for my LC200 here in NZ, hard thing is finding the same gear here! On that note, do you have more specs of the rim/tyre sizes? Pretty keen on getting the same feet on mine. Thanks.
Awesome mate - so tyres are Toyo RT’s in a 295/70/17 size & rims are Allied Wheels Stinger Brushed in 17x9 +35 offset
Legend! Thanks for the quick response, keep up the good vids 👍🏻
Hi Graham, what brand is your 270 awning?
Love the videos, keep up the great work.
Thanks mate - appreciate the support. Awning is a “Eeziawn 270 Batwing”
Hi Graham, I hope you and jess have a great xmas mate, Where did you get the intercooler screen from again? (saves me watching the clip again lol) I reckon I need one for my 200.Cheers Steve
Thanks mate - hope you have a merry Christmas and happy new year too mate. It’s an SRW Screen.
anyone have a idea on how much it will cost to total modifications?? the great video and give feedback on who power it is the landcruiser
Did your second row seat have airbags in it and if so what did you do to disconnect them to remove the seat?
Thank U Again For a Great Video Like to wish u all the very best for Christmas Take Care
Thanks mate - hope you have a merry Christmas and happy new year too
@@great_offroad_adventures Thanks for your reply Looking Forward to your Channel in 2019 Take Care Great Off Road Adventures Team
what air filter / airbox are you running?
and how do to go for dust
Hi, Graham, do you have plans or drawings on the rear seat platform you made for the fridge and compartments for storage Hope you and Jess have great Christmas and a happy new year.
Cheers
les
Sorry mate - no I don’t have any plans, I just knocked it up in situ sort of thing.
Nice car mate!
Thanks mate 😁
dc to dc doesnt overheat? or wet?? I have all my electronics in rear quarter panel insert from Witsend.
I used to have my DCDC under the bonnet and it would derate due to heat....so I moved it to behind the grille in front of the AC condenser and it’s been great since then.....it’s also waterproof, so water doesn’t bother it.
excellent I just became an ammbasador for battle Born Lithium batteries so Ill be adding the red arc @@great_offroad_adventures
Nice combination - will have to check out the battery’s 👍🏻.
Piranha off-road do a tray upgrade that fits an optima d31 for each side and also a 3rd tray
Yeah NAH - I DO NOT recommend a 3rd battery tray for 200’s.....I had a Piranha Tray & it cracked the inner guard & top of the wheel arch.
And why put in a battery tray where the factory batteries live? That’s unnecessary spending in my opinion.....factory mounts are more than adequate for bigger batteries.
Do you get glare off your bonnet from the LED light bar on the roof
Nope - my light bar sits far enough back it hits the roof rather than the windscreen & bonnet....so no glare 😁.
Yes. I have a question. Why didn’t you buy. Hilux dual cab with a canopy?
Because I had a dual cab ranger which I wanted to update.....had a couple options and this was the best. I knew the original owner and purchased it privately.....so got a better price, made it very difficult to go past.....having had it now for a while, absolutely no chance I’d have anything else.
Great video and nice setup! Could you share total budget of all modification if its not top secret. Considering go-not go similar way..
I haven’t done the maths off the top of my head, but at a educated guess, just modifications, somewhere around $50K. I bought the car with a lot of modifications already and to save money I’ve installed a lot of others myself......still not a cheap exercise.
thanks for sharing your setup. have you taken the LC over a weighbridge when fully loaded up? must be getting up to the GVM?
Yeah you wouldn’t do a build this big without a GVM upgrade put it that way!!!
Sadly the 200 is not the best factory GVM (650 odd kgs). GVM upgrade will give you around 500 kgs more and a build like this fully loaded + passengers will need most of that.
Hi Graham you didn't mention anything about GVM upgradeI presume you have one. The back end must be heavy with draws bar tyres and LR tank?
Had a Dobinsons GVM upgrade, when I changed shocks I used a local engineer to reinspect and recertify my GVM.....bit difficult to explain that in the video.
@@great_offroad_adventures
Interesting you have a Dobinsons GVM upgrade. I've just weighed my 200 gxl today. I'm left with 40kg and I'll be at 3350kg.
I have the Dobinsons mrr adjustable shocks and springs. I contacted a engineer today and they said Dobinsons can only go as high as 3650kg on 200 series. I'm spewing about it as 3850 would give me alot more wiggle room.
Contact a Dobinsons reseller/ installer, like Midland 4WD Centre or Malaga Suspension….they might be able to help you out as Dobinsons offer a 3850kg & 4495kg GVM with those shocks.
Did you need to anything with the airbag sensors when you removed the 2nd row seats?
Yeh you can .25W 2R2 Resistors to emulate the 2nd row seats are still in place.....cost about .50c for an 8 pack from Jaycar.
@@great_offroad_adventures thanks for the info. I want to do the same and it would be good to see some pics of your second row storage boxes and connections to the floor. Did u consider if u needed a cargo barrier behind the front seats so you could load up the second row a bit more?
Hey, in NSW it’s illegal to change the total wheel track by greater than 25mm in total (12.5mm per offset per wheel). Any idea what are your state’s regulations are?
Hi Glenn - I suggest you double check. I think your getting confused....passenger cars are limited to 25mm....off-road vehicles (category MC, NA, NB) can be increased up to 50mm. Look up Vehicle Standard Bulletin (VSB14) Section LS, Tyres, Rims, Suspension & Steering, Bottom of Page 22, Section 4.2.11.
infrastructure.gov.au/vehicles/vehicle_regulation/bulletin/files/NCOP11_Section_LS_Tyres_Suspension_Steering_Nov_2015_v4.pdf
I haven’t seen that document before. It’s different to our state regulations VSI9 Rev 4, Nov 2003
www.rms.nsw.gov.au/documents/roads/safety-rules/standards/vsi-09-rev4.pdf
Any idea which document trumps which?
No idea mate - the WA website directed me to VSB14 which is a national document. Perhaps talk to RMS and see if they can provide you with the latest information.
All good. Thanks for taking the time to respond to me and everyone else.
Great! What size wheels and tyres?
295/70/17’s on 17x9 +35 wheels
@@great_offroad_adventures Great Thanks
224 hp with 600 newton seems pretty low for a V8, i own a GMC canyon 2016 with a 4 cylinder 2.8 liter diesel, stock it outputs 181 hp for 369lb torque, that gives with standard calculations 1641.32 newtons. Your 600 would only give 135 lb torque? not sure if it translates right
600nm converts to 442lbs.....but remember that’s being measured at all 4 wheels, not at the crank, so you need to account for a 30-40% loss in both the power and torque figures.
@@great_offroad_adventures that would explain it, i did a google newton in lb search. ya 442 is a way better number so at the crank you should be around 680?
1642 Newton’s out of a 4 cylinder .... I think google stuffed that conversion somehow - 1,600 is up in big block V8 territory....
hey mate what brand of awning is that? thank you
Eeziawn 270 Batwing
Hey boss please how much do you sale this car
Special deal - pick up from Broome with a fuel issue - $300K no negotiation.
When you want to sale
Could you comment on why you chose the 200 over an 80, 100 or Troopy? THX
Deal was good (really good) on the 200 which just made it too hard to go past.....sure it modern & attracts some issues as a result, but being modern it’s also super comfy & great for long hauls.....has enough space for what we do, could have more if we went troopy or dual cab, but then would lose the comfort.
Everything has a trade off, the trade off for the 200, is slightly reduced space vs the other models you mentioned & additional maintenance over an older rig, but the pros are the comfort, road manners, towing ability which those others don’t have & for the traveling I do it’s more than capable offroad.
@@great_offroad_adventures Fair enough. THX for the reply. A few days ago I began my search for a 200.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Start of the video, can I grab the location please?
I am keen to know as well please :)
me too please!
Julimar?
Wandoo?
