Keep it up mate! The best Aussie build series I have watched by far….so impressed with your work and how much thinking you put into it
That Patrol Diff looks a lot like a Ford 9inch.
The Ford 9inch is famously one of the best axles ever made.
Your such a humble man. Very enjoyable to watch. Keep up the great work.
Thanks mate, glad you're enjoying it!
It’s awesome how everything has been thought out so well for the build
How this channel isnt huge yet is beyond me!! Sooo good 👌
Haha thanks mate!
mate phenomenal ep! So good to see builds by people who are actually smart and use their brains not just shitbox patrols with an LS! your jig design is OOTG you've done well!
Haha thanks mate, trying to use the old noggin!
Perfect, just perfect 👌
Look forward to every episode, thanks for this awesome content
Glad you enjoy it!
Dude, the effort you've gone to, to get it to where it is, let alone where it's going to be.....just mind boggling.
Cheers Brian, we'll get there.... one day haha
So good to see it all coming together. Those diff jigs were a fantastic idea!! Keep up the great work mate!!
Cheers Geoff, I was so glad to see it back on its wheels, was torture it being on the stands.
@@DesignedandBuilt it looks so good on its wheels, the proportions are spot on 👌🏼
Huge amount of work. So pumped to see this thing run.
As am I, hanging for a D+B & Nick Unwin tour.....
I’m really really enjoying your build, and your attention to detail is fantastic. Can’t wait for the next episode 👍👍👍
Cheers David, glad you're enjoying it!
Amazing, amazing work, mate. I love it.
Such a solid build, it’s a joy to see a well thought out plan come together!
Subbed! 👍🏻
Thank you!
been waiting for this next video to come out, cheers
Thanks mate, hope you enjoyed it!
Looking great Richard. Always happy when I see you post the latest update. It's certainly a lot of work. I don't know where you find the time unless you're foregoing sleep!
Cheers Adrian, I'm getting my 8 hours :) You can thank many cancelled plans/trips for the progress, I don't think I would be able to maintain this pace without Covid!!
@@DesignedandBuiltAt least there's a positive upside to this sh1t show! We may even be allowed out to play by the time you finish 😉
Nicely done Swindel!
Thanks Cam :)
Keep up the good work looking forward to your next video.
Cheers James :)
love your work dude!
Cheers Mike!
great build ! enjoyed watching . i can imagine it hitting the sand dunes in south aus , shes gonna be fun!
Can’t wait 😎
Top Job mate , love your work
Thank you!!!!!
Fantastic to watch mate nice work
Cheers mate!
Your just a beast man ! great work
Thanks mate!!!!
love your work mate
Thank you!!!
Great work Richard and friends, this is going to be one strong rugged truck mate. Seeya Rob
Cheers Rob!
Looking bloody good mate
Thank you!
Older GQ GU Patrol running gear definitely is the best 4x4 stuff out there.
💯👆🏼
good thinking on the patrol diffs
Cheers!
That’s a monster rear diff! Nice work mate.
Replace those front auto hubs with manual GQ ones down the line.
Cheers for the advice, will do!
Love watching this, I think I’ve already clicked onto what you want to do hence the GU diffs. I think you are going to fab up a full Enclosed canopy with batwing doors. Keep up the good work
You’re not far off there, slightly different concept to what you’re suggesting but you’ve got the idea! Cheers mate!
Designed and Built im a boilermaker fabricator and I rekon your doing an awesome job, keep it up
Thanks mate, means a lot coming from a fabricator! Hopefully I’m not butchering it too much 🤣
Easy way to do the diff jig is , use the Landcruise housing for the position of all location points to be welded on & cannibalize the housing after you have the jig.
Cheers Robert, yeah like the idea, the 80 series housing has the bracing underneath which makes it difficult!
Wow 😍 Insane work bro
I give up on the troopy 😂
Mate your troopy is an incredible build as well 👌🏻
haha thanks mate. You're killing it as well, Finish her off!!!!
Put some Marks 85% reduction gears in the transfercase. You will love them.
I've been looking!!!!
just use a ford cast iron transfer. or,buy a ford,job done..
Doin well mate ))
Cheers Jim!
Do you have the file to make the cuts and folds? Amazing work!
As always awesome stuff.
Will LCS be offering the conversion service, since you guys built a jig for it??
Or even, just the brackets required??
Hey Aaron, yes. Give him or I a DM. I honestly don't think it would be worth selling the brackets without using the jig but could be arranged.
looks mint man gonna be a monster would have been cool to do 4 link whilst you were at it but I guess that isn't really warranted for your application maybe in part 2 of the build?
Cheers Tom, yeah it just makes packaging the rear super hard! Possibly in the future if I can afford to have a dedicated touring vehicle!
in nice and early 👍🏻
Cheers Albert, but did you watch it!
What's your plans for steering? Thought patrol steering clashed with 80 radius arms. Cool to see you chose to upgrade that front diff. Rears a bonus!
Cheers Cam, I don't know the exact details yet but these radius arms will be okay with the steering links. It has been done before!
that is fucking gangsta son! cant wait to see it go!
Thank you!!
Looking good mate. Wish i had as much time to get in the garage and finish my 4jj1 GQ swap.
I am far from an expert (i wish i had one on hand some times to ask questions like what im about to say) but i like to look how things are built by oem's vs the 'over engineering' of the after market industry. And also understand that making pressed parts like those spring seats isnt really an option for the after market let alone diy. Hence the use of 3-5mm plate welded up to make brackets to then get welded to a 3-5mm fish plate to get welded to the 2-3mm chassis rail.
Sorry getting carried away. My observation with your diff conversion jig is i dont believe there are any welds on the factory brackets that touch or cross the seam of the diff tubes.
This is where i would like the 'expert' to ask but i feel like there is a reason for this.
From what i could see it is just your lower link brackets that do this but looks like they would be plenty strong enough to cut them a little shorter to avoid crossing over the seam.
Again not a criticism, you are doing an epic job.
Hey Benny, wouldn't really make a difference to be honest, barely had to grind over any weld seam and the housing + weld is super thick. The new design of the bracket will be much stronger!
you need to watch more u.s vids.. all parts are on the shelf in u.s.
Great work mate
Question : why not a patrol chassis from the beginning ?
Inferior chassis mate! The mechanical design and strength is much better on an 80 series.
Great work! I’ll add a few observations and hopefully won’t get labeled a “hater”
Given the amount of custom work you have already done, why not custom triangulated 4 link or long links at least.
Centred diffs are a compromise off road, especially if the front is different to the rear.
While a welding procedure will go a good way to help with distortion, I feel the table is not an accurate way to check. (For example what if it’s already bent?) Machine some pucks for the carrier bearing locations in a cast 3rd and use a true bar to be sure.
Ha! No 4 link due to packaging , I did wonder that 👍
Hey mate, some valid points there for sure, you’re probably right that you can realistically only measure off the ends to check if it is completely true. I think the table gives use a good way of measuring the delta before and after welding if it distorts a lot, probably wouldn’t pick up small distortion but gives us a reasonable gauge!
How thick and what material were the link brackets made from? Great stuff!
5mm!
he does an alright job for a wood butcher.
I'll be sure to pass that on!
Awesome build! Please upgrade your paint gun, star is excellent price performance and velocity pps (3m clone) makes life easy
Thanks mate, planning on upgrading. I’ll look into it!
Great work. 105 series bare rear housing are the same as 80 series aswell.
Thanks Silvio, makes sense being the same chassis and all, I wonder what the load rating is?
@@DesignedandBuilt not to sure. Im not to sure if patrol front diffs are similar set up but I had blown my front cruiser diff twice off roading with a turbo 1fzfe 270kw 800nm ish 35s locker, had a solid spacer and shims installed set up spot on and not a issue in the 9 years from then on. I do understand the piece of mind patrol diff is tuff solid unit std out the box but you could also if on more of a budget solid space a cruiser front diff and have it last.
Nice work mate ! I have a patrol chassis can it be used instead of the 80 series
Yep! Check the Facebook groups
Another good vid Richard. Do you have a link to your welding mates channel ? Cheers.
He doesn't have a channel, check out his Instagram!
I thought the H260 diffs were only sold in leaf spring GU utes?
They came in two styles, leaf and coil. I think all 4.2's came with the H260.
Hey mate, I doing a very similar thing with some Dana 70 diffs on an 80 chassis, just wondering how your going with the engineering of it etc, will it be hard to make road legal?
Hey mate, best speak to your engineer. It’s all possible.
there are no dana 70 front diffs in aus.. d60 rear & 44 front is all you need for a toyota. with 80kw. way overkill. short axles available from u.s. for any diff.. chrome molly is bs. a ford transfer case will stand 450 hp.. iron.. the 1356 alloy,have the best gears. auto sucks..
@@phantomwalker8251 I’ve actually got a 250kw 1200nm electric motor imported from the USA. So have recently got a Dana 60 front and Dana 70 rear.
I'm looking at getting my GU diffs shaved and braced. Does this workshop have a facebook page or website?
Check out LCS 4x4 on instagram!
Do you have a pair of cannibalised 80 series diffs with no brackets left over? Could look good under my Rangie...
I have some 80 diffs with all the brackets on. Long story, DM me if you're interested.
Can I buy the mounts you have made for this conversation?
Hey mate, give us a DM. Probably not worth it without the Jig to be honest.
Do you think it would have been easier to use a complete patrol chassis?? Other than the hate you would have received from the internet of coarse?
They are inferior mate! Much worse mechanical design in my opinion. Also not sold on the metallurgy of them!
Kinsela Customs* make a conversion kit for the gu steering box
Cheers Ben, I'll look into it!
this boils my piss when you mix parts
Haha sorry mate
Do more ski videos please.
Hopefully next year once we're out of lockdown!!!!
@@DesignedandBuilt Yeah I was up at hotham bc Im in reg victoria, barely any snow but. Hopefully you can get out on the moto and mtb in the summer though
Love the content mate!
But why not just use a patrol chassis?
80 series chassis are much better than patrol chassis from a mechanical design perspective, ie all the suspension hardpoints, spring perches & the frame itself. The 40 series cab fits much better on the 80 series chassis also. Would have been easier for sure, but this is better :)
@@DesignedandBuilt
Good to know! Never knew one was better than the other.
The cab fitment makes total sense too. Love your work man!
@@Benjimiteful
It's not Toyotas are great
But come suspension and chassis strength patrol all the way
@@spagooter7901
Well that’s what I thought / had heard. Hence the questioning the 80 chassis. But the point about the body mounts makes sense.
@@spagooter7901 Hmm I'm not sold on the rear shock tower being a cantilever beam or the single shear front radius arms. Maybe for longevity & suspension geometry, but as far as load paths go the Toyota looks better to me. 2 other points, the mount kits are readily available for a 80 chassis & if I went patrol it would have to be registered as a patrol....
Why not use a patio chassis
The 80 series Landcruiser ones are better!
They are only stronger front because they come with a solid spacer from factory…
Is that the only difference? I've been told to machine up a spacer the same length as the crush spacer to make my diffs alot stronger in my 105.
@@MrMeatFag you can use shims,or a c/sleeve. shims better,as you cant gauge a solid tube shim,non adjustable.the crush sleeve as the name says,crushes when you put pre load on the pinion. so,your solid sleeve has to be the finished size to work. eh..
Might aswell put chromo cvs in while you’re at it
While you're there you may as well........ haha I'll look into it!
chrome molly is bs. dont you watch ronny dahl..fucked his diff. should of fitted a dana 70..
Not much landcruiser left! Patrol parts are bigger/better in several ways. From memory the front 80s diff is the same [8.25]” they used in similar aged Hilux, which never made much sense to me. Find some GU 4.6 ring and pinion gears.
Cheers Rhys!! 4.6 you reckon!? I am thinking just run some mega reduction in the transfer case!
@@DesignedandBuilt the reduction gears in the transfer typically only reduce low range. The 4.6 R&P will help spin the bigger tyres on the road. Also, I think the GU transfer case is chain driven, rather than gears. Not sure there are reduction options for a chain driven case. I’m sure Marks Adaptors have a solution (portals!!)
@@rhyswilliams695 Marks do 85% Reduction gears. The transfer is chain driven but that is 1:1 ratio and only drives the front driveshaft
Surely call it the xr 45
Hahaha love it!
Don't let George touch anything mate
😂😂😂
can't help but think a patrol chassis would have been easier lol
80 series chassis are much better than patrol chassis from a mechanical design perspective, ie all the suspension hardpoints, spring perches & the frame itself. The 40 series cab fits much better on the 80 series chassis also. Would have been easier for sure, but this is better :)
love Toyotas and would buy one over a Nissan if keeping stock.
But come the patrol chassis and suspension design it shits on the 80 in every way
Not to mention far far cheaper
Hell of a lot stronger that's why they make great winch trucks
@@spagooter7901 Hmm I'm not sold on the rear shock tower being a cantilever beam or the single shear front radius arms. Maybe for longevity & suspension geometry, but as far as load paths go the Toyota looks better to me. 2 other points, the mount kits are readily available for a 80 chassis & if I went patrol it would have to be registered as a patrol....
all that effort and didn't go harrop e-lockers... hmmmm
Can’t go past a deal!!!
lunch box would be good enough seeing it weighs nothing.
why not just buy a nissan. be done with it, fj45 too small,square,roll easy..
