No 4wd or Centre Diff Lock | Electric Controlled Selection | 200 Series | How To
In this video we look into why my 200 series Land Cruiser has lost the ability to select 4wd Lo and centre diff lock. Newer cars now rely on electronic systems to activate the basic Lo range and diff lock mechanisms.... until they die. Let's have a look at how they work and what can go wrong and how to fix it.

    Great video! Likewise I always tow in S4 and monitor transmission temp with a ScanGauge. I keep revs at between 2300 and 2600 regardless of road speed using the gearbox as a clutchless manual. I tow a 3tonne van. Recently I was driving outback in western NSW. Road was rubbish and speed was on average about 55km/h and I was towing mostly in S3. The interesting thing was that my fuel economy was the best I have ever achieved whilst towing, 20.7 l/100km. Could not believe it. Usually I am getting 22 to 24l/100km.

    Dude, the whole reason I'm looking into getting towing mirrors is for the split mirror. I drive semis in the states and I can back a 53' trailer using the convex mirrors. I think you're doing yourself an injustice not getting used to using them. Lets you keep track of your rear tires and blind spots while having your main mirrors set up for keeping track of your side.

  • @jacquesjackcoomans2295
    @jacquesjackcoomans2295 5 місяців тому

    I don't understand why anyone would have an issue with trying to judge distances with looking at the bottom mirror on the Clear views, technically it's called a spotter mirror, it's deliberately convex to enable you to see anything that would normally be a blind spot like the lane next to you (more helpful on a left mirror) it's not designed to be used to reverse. The MSA mirror seems to be roughly the same size as the CV main mirror without the spotter mirror so obviously without the extra mirror it would miss any body panel when folded in. On the subject of either mirror being folded in, tho the MSA seems it wouldn't make contact with the body of the car, if it is given a hard enough whack, instead of hitting a solid panel it would put the window at potential risk of being shattered. There really is no saying one is better than the other, they are both excellent mirrors for towing with one having less of a safety advantage of seeing the blind spot. What I would like to see the manufacturers add in either mirror is an electric fold as I have in my Jackaroo and an electric 2 stage extension, even though it would make them somewhat slightly more expensive, the simple convenience of not having to exist your vehicle or needing someone to physically fold or pull in the mirrors every time you get to a narrow part of a track would be a godsend. Also your CV's have a 3-year Manufacturer’s Warranty so you could've tried claiming the paint issue on warrantee.

    • @DucruznOZ
      @DucruznOZ 5 місяців тому

      Definitely a matter of personal preference, but the msa doesn't hit the window when folded back.... also the CV are over 3 years old so the warranty was not available.... it is more a preference thing of what people prefer so there is no right or wrong answer as to what is better/easier to use... this was just my findings 🍻

      @@TrevorBoyd-ni6yi fully loaded we would get around 22l/100kms and that was doing 100km/hr highway stuff.... obviously it would fluctuate with hills and elevation etc.... unloaded would get around the 15l mark.... we are heavy with drawers, long range tank, bar work, awning, hi lift jack etc... so it could be lower if we were as loaded ;)

    Are those polyurethane bushings? I was under the impression that you can torque the upper control arm bolt with the truck on a lift with that type of bushing due to how it sits in the control arm vs a standard bushing. I just did JBA control arms and they said it was okay to torque the bolt down while truck on jacks and suspension not loaded. ( l lowered it to the ground and loosened and re-torqued bolts just to be safe) Just curious on your thoughts

    @andrewjack6230 6 місяців тому

    Don't do it. You never need to change transmission filter unless there is contaminated fluid with dirt or water in the transmission fluid. Transmission is the most expensive part of your vehicle. Only do a drain and fill... Not a flush! each 50k miles. In case of a transmission flush required the transmission electronic control module needs to be reset and there is a 2 week transmission learning period where you need to take the vehicle for a transmission electronic service 2 weeks after the flush. They do a level check and complete the transmission learning cycle... I love the video tho. No offense

    Love those Kenda Klever RTs. They wore like iron on my GX460. Ran 275/70R18s (33.5") on the factory wheels and enjoyed them on and off road. Pretty tame noise levels for the amount of grip they offer. Also have a set of their 31" ATs on my GX470 for daily driving. They seem to wear a little faster but they are winter rated so thats expected with that compound.

    • @DucruznOZ

      They are an OK tyre, I had to replace 3 in 80,000kms but they were all sidewall damage... perhaps overloaded?? We also did do a lot of rocky terrain and dirt roads so may e that is acceptable ;) glad ur having a good run with yours 🍻🍻

      @@DucruznOZbummer! You are probably really giving them a workout though. I had one replaced early on after picking up a bolt in the sidewall. Tire shop said it was unrepairable but we had road hazard coverage so it cost me $20. I did however not tow so I can't speak to running higher pressures. Just had a massive Tuff Stuff Alpha roof top tent and loaded with camping gear to the gills for 5 day trips off grid in some pretty gnarly areas like Big Bend State Park and some off-road park shenanigans. Aired down to 18-20psi and they did well even with sharp rocks in Colorado. Sometimes we are just unlucky. I felt like I went through an entire set of MTR Kevlars in a year. All sidewall failures after friends swore by them. Each time the had zipper rips in a bad place to have a flat 😂

    Great to see the how much protection the wrap provided. Did the wrap look that it needed replacing? Would it be realistic to expect getting 2 years or more before needing to replace the wrap if youre regularly driving gravel outback roads?

    • @DucruznOZ
      @DucruznOZ 6 місяців тому

      It did do an amazing job, the wrap still looked great.. some spot that had lifted in the corner looked a bit shabby, but I just trimmed them off with a stanely knife and reheated the edge and it was good to go. I got 18 months out of a 12 month product, but they do a 5 and 10 year one now 👌👌
