Here I Go Again. Wheel Nuts and Studs.
Переглядів 5044 місяці тому
This is a bit of a rant video but the message is clear. I just don't understand why people don't get it. This time it's a disappointing result after a service but a great opportunity to demonstrate the risks and costs of of not getting it right. Just to clarify, I did pick up the two loose ones on the 1000km check but had no idea that the rest were way too tight. 😒
A very simple awning install.

heres another amateur video for ya about an awning installation. I wanted to be able to remove the awning quickly and easily with minimal fuss but I didn't want the brackets to stay on the car like the quick release ones do. The solution was to make the bolts captive. I think it's a good compromise. #79series #camping #4x4 #awninginstall
Day Tripping To McCauley Weir.
Переглядів 1469 місяців тому
Today I took a run out to the newly reopened McCauley Weir day use area to see what it's all about, and although I was a bit underwhelmed at first, a little bit of time out there soon changed my mind. McCauley Weir day use area is on a public access trial period and is about 20 minutes East of Nanango. A $100 refundable deposit will get you a key for access. There are no facilities and strict u...
Wheel Studs! Why do they break?
Переглядів 39111 місяців тому
In this very amateur video I explore a very important issue anf what I think, might be the cause of broken wheel studs. I take a run through how I fit a wheel and talk about a few things that have helped me resolve the issue with my own vehicles in the past.
Sid has running water!
Переглядів 6611 місяців тому
Fitting the water tanks to Sid was a real challenge. The total cost of this project came in at around $1200 and was way more than I originally thought. But in the end it was well worth the effort for the convenience of having water on tap. The tanks and pump were bought online simply by searching the sizes that fit the application and the fittings came from the local hardware.
A little bit of stone protection for Sid.

This is a simple but very effective way of protecting the underbody from hi speed stone damage without breaking the bank. #79serieslandcruiser #gravelroads #stoneprotection

How I do a basic plan for a trip or holiday adventure.
Переглядів 5Рік тому
So we're off on our first road trip in Sid The 79 in a few weeks so I thought I'd share another really badly made video on how I go about putting a plan together. Some might find it helpful. Ignore my bad spelling in the notes BTW 😬.
HF Radio 3040 mount on a 79 Series Dual Cab.
Переглядів 104Рік тому
This is just a quick vid for all the HF radio users who are trying to find an alternate location for the 3040 on a 79 dual cab. How I made the mount for the Codan HF 3040 antenna to fit a dual cab 79 Series Landcruiser without mounting it on the bullbar or encroaching on payload, inclusive of all the mistakes.
79 Series Intercooler Fans. Why fit them and how I did it at lower cost.

This is how I made my intercooler fans for way cheaper than I could buy them and my theory behind my design.
Great job mate...
Thanks it is really helpful
You cannot be done for defamation or slander when you have the facts/evidence and are telling the truth. You can name the dealer no problem if you wish but yes would wait until after they replace the wheels and rectify all damage. Another bloody reason I've never taken any of my cars back to the dealer. And you still get the additional warranty on engine and driveline if your independent mechanic abides by the service intervals and work required. Using genuine parts also gives them no out.
Had exactly that happen after a wheel balance and tyre rotation. It stretched the majority of wheel studs / nuts and i had to replace them.
I'm no expert but I believe the 3040 bottom casing needs to be away from metal for the aerial to tune correctly and radiate effectively, so not having the metal casing around it is probably a better solution.
Thanks for your review. I really enjoyed hearing your views on the place. As the Councillor who took on the project to get the trial opening it was excellent feedback. Let me know if you are coming again and I will put you in touch with the locals who can get you to the wall and give you some fishing tips.
Great job, the Arb is easy to get on and off as well
Looks like good spot to camp for a weekend . Better than the cold of Europe 😂
Andrew "Leyland", I can see a TV career beginning.
Very good advice mate ,the torque wrench is the best way in sequence I've been using one for years.

Sorry, 3040 should be the heading. Can't seem to edit it.
