Diff Trans QLD in Bundaberg. I give fuel figures at the end of this video 👍 kennym

Alloy does corrode and it tarnishes. The painting was more aesthetic driven than concern about longevity. There are no underbody “panels” to protect the composite fibreglass. Sure, the tanks are inside a sheet metal “box”. We use to own an ultimate off road camper (also composite fibreglass) and standard they have a deadener applied under neath. Much akin motor vehicles. I applied the deadener as a measure of protection and longevity (lighter than “plates” for protection) and cheaper than repairing the composite fibreglass. Thanks for your comments. kennym

Sure do have the head unit. I think it was their first model. Got no idea what their current models are like. kennym

Thankyou for your quick reply

Thanks thanks ireland_boys👍

Thanks Graham. Yes a pain in the rse having additional coals on the go. But the result was worth it. Gotta say, I haven’t done another whole brisket that way since, really need to have the motivation, time and event. kennym

I don’t believe Toyota have replacement of the MAP sensor filter as a service item. I did it because I was renewing vacuum hoses and it was convenient. kennym

That’s a real bgr! The diff housing fitted to my 79 is a DWIZ product. Looks great and I haven’t had a problem with it. I’m guessing you likely went a Superior product?

No on the 200 they weld in some crap bracing on bottom of the factory diff housing no replacement diff they weld it while it is still in the vehicle no big no taking out of car

Even TMR who inspector that inspected my 209 twice said it is crap work etc even deemed my 200 unroad worthy till I ripped the whole lot out and replaced it all which I did as it is my only car $18,990 for crap at that place

That is a real bgr!

You are likely correct. But as it happened we were travelling over summer so we took the opportunity whilst we were in that part of South Australia.

Just beautiful

Great country off the coast and well worth exploring. kennym

It is a terrific spot. That was one of the highlights (to me) of our time in the Kimberley. Glad you enjoyed. kennym

Yes its awesome country. loved your vid, I was there in 1988 we had 6 weeks there Hopefully I will get there this year in mid June, @@kennymepicadventures876

Hey buddy, Travelled just over 3000kms with the AB60. It has plenty of positives, for sure. I reserved about towing at the moment. My gut feeling is the oil cooling I have won’t be good enough. But my 79 has a front mount intercooler so it will be different for those who have a top mount intercooler. Fuel consumption is more than a manual. The AB60 is limited by how much nM you can throw at it. But I know Wholesale sell a more beefier AB60 than their “standard” that I have. I’m gradually getting use to the “feel” of the drive. Do I miss the manual, probably not. It is a significant investment. But for me, it was the cheaper option than buying a 200 and building it or buying a 300 and building it. This will just make driving the 79 a bit easier (and on highway it’s quieter). kennym

@@kennymepicadventures876 thanks for the feedback appreciate it I’m also worried about cooling as from what I’ve been told by the installer they now only supply the PWR radiator with heat exchanger as the main cooling no separate cooler as they have decided this is the best option moving forward . I believe it’s the same radiator as you run on your cruiser already. Hopefully PDI come up with something I’ve also considered going the bigger cast pan straight away as I’ll be towing a van mainly.

@@krisormerod779 if you don’t have a front mount intercooler I can’t see why you could not fit a heavy duty oil cooler up front similar to the 200 series. PDI have a nice looking oil cooler they are developing. PWR also do oil coolers and they can do custom coolers too. Just stay away from the fin and tube coolers. Note, it’s cheaper getting the radiator directly from PWR than through Wholesale. If that is the way you head.

@@kennymepicadventures876 thanks again for your advice Kenny appreciate it👍

@@outtheretouringoz your a legend 👍. Keep on enjoying ….

It is an OB2 Bluetooth dongle (scanner) I bought from PVS when I bought their head unit. The app I use to interface with the scanner is available for both android and Apple. It is called Torque (it was the recommended app by PVS). The app cost about $4. The dongle plugs into the ecu port under the steering wheel. k

Best of luck. I’m dropping a short 3rd instalment after having just completed a short tow with our van. It’ll be about fuel consumption, a bit of video watching the shifts and stuff like that. New Transfer Case! The old girl had 307000 kms on it and i’ve given it a hammering over the years. When the 79 was under heavy load I was getting a bearing noise from the transfer case. It’d only happen in 1st and sometimes 2nd. I put a new rear diff centre and locker in about 15 months ago after destroying it. I put a new rear axle housing (DWIZ) with chrome moly axles in August 22. It’s got pretty new uni joints. In short, the transfer case I saw as a weak point in my drive line. I didn’t want to Bgr around so I decided to replace it. Long winded answer 😂 kennym

That’s right. The fuses need to stay in both those wires. I tried to load a wiring diagram here but could not. If you Google Victron Smart Shunt wiring diagram look for “Quick Installation Guide Smartshunt IP65”. Page 2 has the wiring diagram for the temperature sensor. kennym

@@kennymepicadventures876 thanks

In the description to the video I mention my initial thoughts and I think I pinned a comment as well. I’ve not towed (am doing that today) nor have I been off road to assess how it performs. But, the highway driving I did last week it was pretty good. It’s a little clunky, as I mention, when cold. But it’s not terribly clunky. It’s a bit hard to video the “feeling” of the shifts. But I’ll do a bit 👍 I’ve noticed when in auto (not sports mode nor with lock up engaged by the switch) it seems to only use lock up in 5th and 6th. I’m guessing that is for drive ability. It’d likely be more clunky if it locked up through most the gears. Thanks for the comment. kennym

With the Allison in the Chevy, locking up the converter is achieved by selecting "TOW/HAUL" mode. It stays locked in all gears except 1st, but won't allow lock up to occur at all if the box hasn't reached a predetermined temperature. Not sure what that temperature is, but suspect its about 50°c. Also, "TOW/HAUL" alters the revs at which each change occurs. For example, in non TOW/HAUL mode I get into 6th at about 90kph, but in T/H mode it's about 115kph. As such, with the caravan on, I rarely get into 6th.....not unless I exceed speed limit whilst overtaking. Once back down to 100kph, it'll hold 6th until speed drops to about 95kph. I'm sure you'll love it all the time with the possible exception of steep downhill 1st gear crawling.

Dropped a video today with a bit of footage on shifting 👍

If you are buying the turbo yourself it pays to shop around cause the price differences can be quite remarkable, for the same turbo. kennym

@kennymepicadventures876 yeah, I'm going with a local Perth W.A. company. They have rigs they do there own R&D. Mechanical Engineering & Metalurgy. I'm happy with the decision. My car has done 440 000km. They go good. It's an '07 so I've just bought a new 2017 gear box, Cross over pipe & hd 1300 Nm Clutch & billet flywheel. Next is the j-max diff. Heavier suspension. Im running the BP- 51 atm but only 400 kg rear end springs. Empty farm Ute work tray. Up that to 600 all at same time.

@@R00RAL Have you looked at the Dwiz diff? Rated at 3020kg but generally certified (with gvm upgrades) at 2900kg. Comes with chrome moly axles. I have the DMW GVM upgrade to 4499kg. It’s a heap better than the old Man Emu I had on previously. They use Dobinson suspension

@kennymepicadventures876 Yes, I have seen them. J-Max is virtually the same. I am also upgrading the GVM / GCM .. Yeah, I had that feeling I might have to swap suspension.. good bye another $6k.

Tibooburra I’d have thought. But being nearest necessarily is not the easiest to drive to.

Not sure how you will go. Only one way to find out, remove that lock ring and give it a go. Nothing ventured nothing gained. Worse case you’ll have this video to refer to if you need to hit wire. best of luck kennym

@kennymepicadventures876 thanks mate what year model is your cruiser I've got a 2013 and it's showing that I can't use that replacement like you hoping I'm wrong though as it's an expensive replacement

December 2014 is the plate date. The inserts are far far cheaper than the whole kit. Have you spoken to Toyota to see if they can supply the insert?

@kennymepicadventures876 yeah mate just came from a dealership and the old fella said that the part isn't listed for my vehicle but after reading you have a newer model I have poked it out to see that it has the geared rope just like yours so I will try and order it and install thanks for your help

How did you go with the stock unit and getting the antenna and cord out? I have a 2002 Troopie RV, and it has the toyota factory electric antenna too, which need replacing. Thinking I might try this approach 1st. M troopie is always away from home, as it my FiFo away vehicle. and only have a minimal tool kit with me. So hoping that with the top loch screw out of the way you can just push the up button to eject the antenna and cord. Would save me removing the 3 battery I have along the side to the car :) .

If you read the Description to the video I give a break down on costs. It was, for us, just a smidge under $30k. But then I had to “de-tune” the car so another remap and associated cost. I did 2 follow up videos on this conversion too. kennym

The size of the cold side (to the turbo) does not “regulate” how much air is inducted. Tricky sensors (MAF/MAP) help the ECU map out AFR. My tune is not sooo aggressive that I need a better air box or snorkel. The air load required to service the tune I have is adequately serviced by the cold side intake system. 22 March the cruiser gets de-tuned” so I am not loading the AB60 Auto input more than Wholesale have advised. Conversely, if I had been chasing 1000nM++ I’d have thrown +30 injectors in, replaced the air box and snorkel and looked at a fuel pump with greater volume capacity (and I’d also need to change the OME 2 micron fuel filter because that is a real inhibitor of fuel flow). In short, nope, the snorkel is more than adequate 👍

Hey mate, Thanks for the feedback. The switch panel is from PVR (their head unit too in my cruiser).

Hi Dave, Thanks for the question. I dropped a video last week which sets up the background to this video. I think it is titled how to replace the and sensors …. But, in short, I had a fault code on the scan gauge which was faulty speed sensor. I replaced the sensors (both sides) but still had the code throw up. I checked continuity on the right loom and it was no good. I bought looms for both sides. Fault code no longer throws up. kennym

Bill, Somewhere in there is the answer. k

That was supplied by Almac. I’m guessing it’s the same as the winch cable. kennym

Bill, That’s an option I’d guess. But if I did, what box would I choose? The Toyota 6 speed or the Dodge 8 speed? Knee is doing damn good for 9 days old (at date of that video) 👍 Ta for the salutations and back at you. kennym

Thanks for the feedback 👍

Had that thought myself plenty of times. The tour operator, Trent Moon, was always a bit ahead of us making sure we had clear passage. But certainly not something I’d do on my own. kennym
