That moulding goes between the top part with the headlight washer and the headlight….
Cheers but cars long gone now
What do you think of the torsion suspension for just highway useage?
100% fine mate
100% fine mate
You are a genius, thank you for explaining the good🇦🇪
Good review. I don't think I'll be buying one now. It's good to see you're not affiliated with the brand so nothing has got in the way of honesty.
Only honesty on this channel mate
Looking at a 2021 model 2nd hand Opinion,s if a good buy
They are ok vans mate check all your doors check under it make sure it hasn’t been bashed up and alot don’t bother but look over the roof also. I think they are alright for the money
I just want to say that that suspension system is really reliable, perfect for family camping and people who want to go off roading
100%
What type of engine temperature monitor did you use on the px ranger and where did you get it?
I was using the scan gauge 2
I've got a 2015 Everest and it's overheated twice while towing our 19'6 caravan. Car went into limp going up Mt Victoria Pass, NSW. It didn't make it to the top. It's an auto. So, would the clutch fan only relate to manuals? Any thoughts as to why it inexplicably overheats?
Yeah clutch fans are the same thats the first place i would be looking mate
Cheers!
I got the same van im looking at doing the same as you is there anywhere in wa that does it do you no
Unsure on that one mate i suggest calling cruise master
Dude, after doing nothing for 3 days making you drive home and back again. they put screws right through your lighweight composite roof? Of course it's going to fail. A double slap in the face for you. A massive red light for me. Could have been easily fixed using bolts, perhaps a small strip of aluminium for support on roof. Silicone where the bolts are to prevent leaks and you could have kept your door. (or even better. doing it right in the first place) Fact remains, the bloody door fell off because of sub standard design a & work. You now have holes in your roof, and a curtain for a door. Classy stuff. Maybe they put curtains on all the new models now eh? Might as well get a Jayco for a similar price. At least they have services centers all over the country with a no fuss customer service, warranty & repair.
Our snowy is long gone now mate but yeah poor workmanship all round
Well done. Helps others to do there own . Cheers.
Thank you
Holly s!ht how much fuel that thing guzzle bro?
Alot haha it was heavy on the juice!
Nice as, deft will check out
Worth it!
I don't get why they made you fit another indicator for the GVM upgrade? There's no reference in DOTARS etc?
Its part of the cat6 upgrade
@@OurAdventuresDownunda I'd love to see the writing on that, def. Not in WA. But if the lighting meets ADR it should continue to do so? (Sorry, I play in this space for a living). Wierd.
Don’t really know mate most gvm upgrades do it now
@@OurAdventuresDownunda sheesh, I hope it's not a "it's what we've always done" thing. Seen that a lot lately! Awesome video mate, probably do it myself soon.
@cootey cheers mate yeah its not a hard install measure twice cut once!
Got a new MDC camper with a polly block and will be changing to a DO35 so I can raise the front and not hit the back door on my Pajero. Was going to get a shop to do it but I have the tools and skills so why not.
Why not! Save some money!
Hi it's been a little while now but the price you paid was that with air bags and compressor set up please
No mate its spring and shock setup
@OurAdventuresDownunda Thanks for that all the best mate 👍
Cheers!!
Hi, I am interested in your retrofit cruise master… moreover, what is the cost to have it done ?? Cheers
It cost us around 11k from memory best bet would be to give cruise-master a call direct
No spring washers or locktight.
Great vid mate. Have never understood the right indicator to give the all clear in Aus. My home country we indicate left to say all clear.
Thank you! Yeah i dont do it generally so i forget others do!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. How did you find the carafan? Did it work? We are thinking about installing one. Thank you again.
We found it did the job very well and it’s a worthy investment!!
@OurAdventuresDownunda thank you so much for getting back to me. And thank you again. Very clever you are. Awesome job.
@ellamackay225 haha cheers and best if luck with your install!
Thanks for this. I'm installing Eibach PTC and PTR's this weekend and I was dreading taking everything apart like the Eibach instructions suggest. I can do it but man, I'd feel like I was racing the sun. This is much quicker.
Glad it was some help mate!
Who done your suspension upgrade and how much?
Cruise master direct. It was 11.5k from memory
Hey guys - thanks for a great vid. Now a year later in hindsight do you still think the SRC is a decent buy? We have just sold our motorhome and are looking seriously at the SRT19. It is just the two of us. Appreciate your comments. Is there anything else out there you think we should consider at about the 80-90k mark. Cheers.
Hey Roger! Sorry i missed your comment. Personally i feel like i gave snowy a good trial and all in all the are OK at best. In saying that sub 100k vans even vans twice as dear will have some sort of issues. Best to go with one that you like the styling of and just keep up with maintaining it. At the end of the day its a tiny house your drag down the highway, things will happen its how you handle the problems when they pop up. Hope you end up with a great van and enjoy your experience
Having trouble trying to line to control arm up with the two bolt holes. Cunt of a job
I have a 2023 Nissan Armada. Basically, Patrol version for US market. It started making loud noise while running. No specific pattern.. just happens. Took it to dealer and I couldnt reproduce it there. So i took videos and sent it to dealer. Not much was happening so I opened a case by calling Nissan Consumer Affairs. I told my dealer and Nissan that there r many folks having this issue and all point to fan clutch. Dealer kept my car for 2 days to run tests and confirmed that its fan clutch making loud noise. But at the same time mentioned it to be normal as its supposed to kick in to keep engine cool. But there was no explanation on why fan clutch would kick in and stay engaged for long time. I requested Nissan to keep looking and not call it normal as no car would randomly start making loud noise for such a long time. Dealer finally informed me that they want to replace fan clutch and are now waiting on Nissan to give go ahead. Nissan seems to be dragging its feet by saying that they still cant verify because dealer too wasnt able to reproduce loud noise that remains on for long time. Plenty of folks in the US have uploaded same loud noise videos. Few got fixed after fan clutch replacement while for some, it started happening again. Appreciate if you could provide any further info on below points: 1) is your car still working fine and how long it has benn since u got it fixed... 2) you mentioned that ur dealer was aware if a technical bulletin. Is it something you could get from him please.. a link or something.. 3) interesting to know that ur dealer thinks it may have something to do with some part getting wet. Is it possible to get more details on what exact part was that.. Sounds crazy that this video is from one continent, and I am reaching out to you from a different continent and I already see a comment from someone in 3rd continent! Amazing. Thanks for uploading this.
We sold the car a few months ago but up until then it was working just fine after they replaced the fan
@@OurAdventuresDownunda tha nk you!
Love the videos mate keep it up
Thank you!
I like your honesty. Great video
Cheers mate!
Where did you get two or three sheets of 15mm ply from for under 130 bucks??
Bunnings mate i used 2 sheets
@@OurAdventuresDownunda thats nearly 200 just for ply?!
Prices must have gone up alot mate
Should use stainless screws where posdible
Yeah but if u remove or lose lower control arm u will messing up your wheels alignment
Needs a wheel Alignment anyways after the lift
Looks mint 👌🏽
Cheers mate
smells like catalytic converter platinum 🤑🤑🤑
Whats that?
I’ve got a friend staying in Broome, for Winter, enjoying your video,
Thats amazing! Thanks for watching!
In having the same problem. Nissan telling me it’s normal. Pigs ass it’s normal. How did you go getting it sorted ? What did you tell them to get it sorted ?
I showed them all the videos i could find online as well as posts i found.. they replaced it under warranty mate
Please don't let the misses record ever again, she has such a boring voice, like where is her excitement?
Just wondering what size base rack you fitted
Its wss the “full size” rack
can you still open the cover and get access to the storage?
Yeah mate you can it all works great together
Nice work
Cheers!
I’m in the market for a caravan (totally new to it never had anything before) we are thinking 18-21ft off road. Is there any brands that you would recommend that would alleviate these issues? We have had a terrible time with our boat (32ft) since we bought it and really just want a good off the shelf product that doesn’t become another project. Thanks 😊
Unfortunately not, on our travels and over the last few years we have heard it all!! Heard things about all the big brands as well which is very sad as the money you spend on higher “build quality” does not reflect in the actual product! In all honesty i wouldn’t expect to have a trouble free caravanning. Just find one you like and go for it.
In saying that if i was in the market again for a new van i would look at lotus or titanium mainly due to the looks 👌🏻
Awesome job. Thanks for a great step by step install. Very educational relating to diy
Cheers
Better to just upgrade to a larger single battery and forget about all the extra hoops of a dual battery set-up. For those thinking that your ski will actually charge any battery you are mistaken. The charging systems on these machines are so weak they can barely maintain the status quo. Plan on using a tender between uses.
I went dual and separated the 2, 2nd was a back up only to start the ski if the first one ended up to flat to start the ski somehow. 1 big single battery is no use to you if its flat.
@@OurAdventuresDownunda No guarantee the second battery is not toast. You still need to gauge your electrical draw/reserve beforehand and charge between uses. Think about the reason why there are so many jet ski battery failures...
Glad you are still kickin. Really dig your new ride. I watched your video 10 minutes after it uploaded, just couldn't say "Hi" on TV. Heck yeah, send us more content. Cheers TJ
We are still here! Thanks mate yeah we are very happy with it. Thanks for taking the effort to say hi mate! Appreciate it.
Loving the new setup guys, lighter and more capable. 12:28 lucky mate still has an arm for his armrest 😂😂
Yeah mate just i nice little setup now we love it hey and yeah think it was just a reaction hey lucky bugger
Great video , the Cruiser’s obviously very capable . Stevo that’s a big call saying you might have the same car for a few years !
Cheers yeah its a big call but i do like it enough to hold onto it for a while
Hey guys great video awesome to see yous back
It was good to pick up a camera again! And felt great to have some content for you guys again!
