Great video fellas. Just a question in regards to the mounting of both the rooftop tent and awning... By the looks, the roof top tent is attached to the two cross bar roof racks on the canopy? Therefore, the awning is mounted to the side of the roof top tent? Cheers
If you look at the rip off prices for cans they sell, you can just clean your throttle body for that. Should be noted many diesels have 400k km and never needed a clean. All the catch can places have a stock photo of a pipe full of carbon, seems to be the same photo on every one, not one shows a high km engine with a catch can fitted and what it looks like inside. Wonder why...
Bugger. I was chasing a rhino cab canopy for my n70 but they stopped making them. Wish I'd heard of these guys before going canvas. Also, what brand was the water bladder
Is wyangala dam, just outside of cowra NSW, great spot some going 4wd tracks if you go looking and even better if you head back into nearby roseberg and Pennsylvania forest.
Hey Anthony - sorry for the delay in getting back to you. The Bladder is made by FlexiMake fmestore.com.au/product/hanging-type-water-bladder-110l-dw110h/ - I basically removed the back seat and from memory made un some anchoring points and fitted it in. I needed to protect the bladder from a few rubbing points and did that with some rubber backed carpet squares cut to size reinstalled the seat and that was that. The advertised size is 110 ltrs but I find I can fit 80 odd, because of the space that's available behind the seat. I have to say its a handy thing to have when your are out and bouts. Hope that helps - Dave
@@anthonyblair7863 hey mate sorry - i dont - the only thing i would say is to make sure there are no rub points the rest is pretty easy. Good luck and sorry for the late reply
Hey Antonio - sorry for the slack reply time, to tell you the truth I have not as yet weighed it when fully loaded. I have a GVM up grade and its needed as she is no light weight as you would expect. In saying that GVM is 3465 kg and the last time I went over the tip weigh bridge I had full fuel (150ltrs) and a heap of gear, tools, draws full (as they are always) fridge ......... 3400, so throwing another person and their gear in we would pop over that. However with upgrade brakes and the sweet suspension the rig handles exceptionally well, no race car but extremely predictable and comfortable. Its always a struggle to stay within all the parameters as there are so many variable. I am mindful of how and what I pack, but I try to get it as lite as I can. thanks Dave
love this build man not too over the top like some you see. nice and practical for its purpose, nice and reliable

Great video fellas. Just a question in regards to the mounting of both the rooftop tent and awning... By the looks, the roof top tent is attached to the two cross bar roof racks on the canopy? Therefore, the awning is mounted to the side of the roof top tent? Cheers
Hey mate - the awning comes off the side of the tent - alucan has the brackets but with the swing awn you need to do a little bit of modifying
@@davidlander1456 Sounds good. Thanks for the reply!
Dont think catch cans are a must. Two schools of thought on these. Agree 100% with filtration
Tend to agree with you!

Bugger. I was chasing a rhino cab canopy for my n70 but they stopped making them. Wish I'd heard of these guys before going canvas. Also, what brand was the water bladder
Will try get Dave to reply to you re the water bladder mate.
Great walkthrough and awesome location......where is that?
Of all places reflections caravan park at Wyangala dam
Some awesome spots at Wyangla. It's worth checking out.
Is wyangala dam, just outside of cowra NSW, great spot some going 4wd tracks if you go looking and even better if you head back into nearby roseberg and Pennsylvania forest.
@@rochesteriv1670 will have to go give it a look - cheers man
@@rochesteriv1670 thanks for the tip. Will definitely head back out that way. Need to explore the tracks.
100%, if my fridge died I would by another tomorrow
yep!!! Must have!
How did he get the water bladder to fit behind the seats? And what brand is the bladder
Hey mate, i'll try get Dave to jump on and reply to you.

Решение со столом очень интересно придумано.
I assume this translates to: Sweet rig mate!
Wish we could have seen the back seat
Shoot me a pm and can add a.pic or two for you
Hey mate I just bought a fleximake 85l water bladder for behind the rear seats of my n80. Have you got photos of the install at all?
@@anthonyblair7863 hey mate sorry - i dont - the only thing i would say is to make sure there are no rub points the rest is pretty easy.
Good luck and sorry for the late reply
Weight of the vehicle ready for touring.
Good question. I think Dave mentions it somewhere in there.
