Hi Tim, yes everything I needed came with the kit!

When the vehicle is stationary the rain doesn’t seem to get in there. Whilst driving the air pressure forces the water to the outer edges of the snorkel head, then there’s small areas where that water can drain. I haven’t noticed any water in the air boxes on my previous vehicles fitted with snorkels either.

Cheers for the video mate, great work, absolutely devastated that they come with this snorkel. I hate the fact that I’ll have to replace and have unnecessary holes in the car

Thanks Warren, it was a fun hobby whilst on the road and it helped fill in the quiet days, it’ll also mean our memories stay preserved. Thanks for watching!

You probably could, it might be slow going through the bumpy and tighter sections. Some of the water crossings were quite tight and deep towards the end, but the depth would probably vary throughout the year. So I guess it depends on your setup. We left our Ezytrail camper trailer at a nearby roadhouse which we stayed at for 2 nights.

My 200 is a ‘GX’ model, the most basic model in that series. Could you find a second hand front quarter panel in your area from a wrecked GX?

I followed the instructions and triple checked the template, once everything was cut out the snorkel slotted in really well. I’d assume it would be the same for everyone, however I never actually notice that a small part of that hole is showing.

why?

Since the video I have installed the long ranger 277lt steel fuel tank and a set of rear draws. The springs have softened up a bit since I had them installed, even more with the extra weight. I’ve either got used to it being a bit firmer, or they’ve settled in really well with the current set up. It is a difficult decision, I went the 4t just because if I’m going to do it, I might as well get the bigger option. Of course it costs a bit more, but given the modifications and that I’m currently travelling around Australia, I’m happy I went for the 4t option, it’s crazy how quickly the weights add up! There’s also 4 spring options from memory, you could choose the lightest option and also have air bags installed so you can still handle the heavier loads when needed.

Thanks mate. That helps alot with your feedback. I did wonder how it would ride with 3800kg on its limit and supplement with the air bags and if it does feel softer with 4000kg I reckon it will work. Have safe travels around Oz

I’ve had plenty of water over the bonnet on my previous vehicle so I wasn’t willing to take the risk on the foam seals! Cheap insurance as they say 😉

Yeah there are quite a few bolts you'll have to order, I'm pretty sure that when I made the video I only mentioned the nuts and bolts that needed to be ordered, there were a small amount I re-used that I didn't list in the video.

@@jaylbreak7 thanks mate so with the injector driver brackets there is 4 listed 2 look like they are holders for the injector drivers and the two you mentioned in the video are the main holders. Just wanted to confirm you only needed the two injector driver brackets you gave port numbers for and not the other two between drivers and the brackets in video? Hope that makes sense lol. Iv had a petrol injector driver brackets arrive so l ordered the wrong one 🤦‍♂️

There’s the two main brackets that bolt onto the body/engine bay that I listed in the video, the other two are almost like shims or thin covers/holders. These were still fitted to my injector modules so I didn’t have to order them. I hope that’s the info you are looking for!

@@jaylbreak7 thanks Mate that’s all l needed l also had a look and it seems the other two are still their like yours were 👍. I’ll order the parts you did. Video has now helped me twice so thanks picked up my bolts today.

Kaymar, the kit comes in 3 pieces, left side carrier, right side carrier and rear bar

I just got them through my local Toyota dealership, all the genuine Toyota part numbers and parts you need should be shown near the end of the video somewhere

@@jaylbreak7 thanks.

There is no label or certification plate on my vehicle that says the gcm has been upgraded. Each kit, state government and installer says something different. So unfortunately I can’t help you with that one!

Thanks Chris! Sounds like your setup will be pretty heavy, I probably could of got away with the 3.8 tonne kit but thought if I’m going to get a gvm upgrade, I might as well get the biggest one available at the time! I managed to quickly grab some measurements for you, ground to top of roof rack is 2.04 meters, ground to top of rear seat is 1.03 meters. I am also running standard size tyres. The back end of my vehicle does drop down a bit once I’m loaded up, it pretty much sits level with the front and I can slightly adjust the rear height with the air bags. The front struts in this lovells kit are adjustable, so once fully set up the front ride height can be fine tuned to a certain extent.

Tripflix thank you very much mate. Really appreciate it. Have you done much corrugation work as yet. Heard some stories about the lovells shocks loving weight on the black top but not liking long runs on corrugated tracks....

Happy to help! I haven’t done any extended runs on corrugations yet, so I’ll have to wait and see.
