    For all the people writing negative comments about Shaun. I have worked at the same building sites as him. He is a tradie and owns his own company, hes definitely not stupid. Stop being jealous of the guy cause he's loaded. If you work your ass off and make money, you'd be spending it on things you love. What ever works for you and your budget. Watch and enjoy the video, if you don't like it, there is plenty of other videos and reviews.
    THANKS RONNY FOR ANOTHER AWESOME REVIEW

      Sasa R. In my opinion all those people are experts in everything, unfortunately is nothing worse than an ignorant person, that thinks he knows better, what a bunch of arseholes does experts are behind the key board. Instead of enjoying the really nice video, the only thing they can do is criticise and comment they know everything; as I say just arseholes.

    FFS ...To all those negative and cynical commenters ...what does it REALLY matter to you on what mods have been done on his own vehicle - none!
    If his choice of vehicle, mods and investment he has made makes him happy and allows him to do all the trips he wishes to do in it, then thats all that matters. To sit behind your keyboard and send out a barrage of negative comments like this says far more about YOU and anything else. Be grateful this content is made available to you and appreciate it for what it is ...not what you think it SHOULD be!

    Fair enough this guy works hard and can spend his own money how he wants and I respect someone who wants to build a car even if you can’t do it yourself aslong as you know the basics fair enough get someone to build it for you go and take it out and have fun. Only thing I would say is why waste 30 grand on portals and running 35’s on pretty much road tyres, anywhere you need portals and 35’s those tyres don’t look beefy enough to get you there. All in all a great truck and good on the guy to work hard and pay for it, who cares if it’s bought aslong as your out there and having fun, just don’t see the point of all that money and not proper off-road tyres 😂

    This video inspires me to write, it's not only Australians that build cars.
    But you are building really nice travel cars.
    I have a HDJ7 with integrated pop-up roof, i use daily and for travel. Which is a bit unusual since diesel is 3+ AU$ a liter.
    What might be interesting is that I'm building a Volvo TGB 20 chassis 6X6 portal axles.
    The chassis is fitted with 80 series body and 1 HD FE engine. The wheels are 335/80R20 on 20X10 split alu rims, which gives 60 cm below the axles.
    There are many many details, alternative solutions. To me it is important that everything is as I want.
    Few details:
    Wide and extended body to fit in a 20 '' ship container.
    6 doors. 2 Toyota - 3 Recaro - 2 Sheel-man seperate seats + one two person bench seats. Most seats can be removed and some mounted on the roof so that they can be used for viewing seats as the landscape passes.
    Integrated diesel tank of about 900 liters.
    Most parts are at home. But much work needs to be done.
    One of my travel dreams is to sail to Australia and drive home. (I'm in love with your country. And would gladly spend 1 - 1½ years with you. You are good mates.)
    Next trip Sweden - Mongolia. Australia when I get retired.
    Best greetings
    Henrik

  • @chawenhalo0089
    @chawenhalo0089 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I really really do not understand this vehicle. It is interesting and well done to the guy who's done it all out. Why on earth would you want a 6" lift and portal axles if you're doing mostly highway driving? These specific hubs overheat and obviously raising the centre of gravity is no good. As to keeping the weight down but adding a huge canopy and crazy heavy roof tent? It seems like this guy was sold the full brochure instead of doing the vehicle that's right for his needs. I hope I'm wrong and really, congratulations for going the whole way on these interesting mods.

Ronny can i say there were some moments you were so gobsmacked that you lost your tongue. I liked all that he had done to the vehicle. The only thing i didnt like was the colour but then thats his choice. What i found surprising is the lack of jerry cans for fuel. Did i miss that. Doesnt look like he has enough fuel for the long trips.

    They are 200 series gx rims.... and they are a positive 60 offset, you dont need 17 inch rims to clear the brake calipers. I dont believe they change the brake booster. Portals only give you 4 inch lift and then the 35's give you another 2 inchs to give a total of 6inch diff clearance. Diff breathers are also moved up into the engine bay. Should have done a modified with someone who knew something about what they had bought!!!

      That's what I was hoping for after seeing the portal

    • @samscott8727

      It isn't the biggest weakness? What are you on about. The leafes are there for weight carrying and the portals widen the rear track which was always the issue

      ​@@samscott8727 the best performing offroad heavy vehicles, rarely use leafs. Check out what a Unimog uses and it ain't leafs. Properly specs'd coils provide the best all round compromise between articulation and weight carrying. G-wagen (W461), Defender (particularly the 130 with its inner coils on the rear) are proof of this, both have greater articulation and carrying capacity to the 76 Series on leafs.
      It is a complete furphy thinking that leafs carry weight better than coils....although Toyota love you thinking this because then they can charge you a ransom for 1960-70s engineering. Why do you think Mercedes, Land Rover and most offroad truck manufacturers moved away from leafs in the 1970/80s?? (yeah it was that long ago).
      BTW, portals are not there for track correction, there are much, much more cost effective means for track correction, than portals (having a matching front/rear track is standard from the factory on most properly engineered vehicles).

    I AM JEALOUS, BECAUSE I LOVE PORTAL AXLES. portals would the best mod you can do to a 4wd in my opinion.
    Nice custom episode as always.

      Duramax comp I personally disagree, it’s much better to do a small lift and tyres, the cost of portal axles are well into 5 digits

      yes you’re right it is bloody expensive!

    Are portal axles just as reliable as a standard lift?
