While we stay home this Easter so we can all go 4wding again sooner, here's a walkaround of the Black Stump camera car - my Mazda BT-50. Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 1:51 Suspension, Wheels and Tyres 2:59 Front End and Barwork 5:28 Tray and Canopy 11:06 12V, Solar and Fridge 13:48 Engine and Performance 15:17 Interior 16:40 Offroad/4wd Clips
I know I'm a bit late to the party but where did you get your suspension fitted. I'm kitting out my BT50 and would like similar set up to yours. I got my full length canopy from "My Canopy " too. Anyhoo, Happy New Year.
Hey, is there any issues fitting the new headlights on the older model? I can't find any information anywhere about which ones are compatible with my 2014 XTR UP. I've found its the only thing I didn't like on my ute is the orange indicator lenses, the clear ones look shit loads better. Cheers
SpecificGamer_ 24 They should fit on stock suspension with +20 offset wheels like mine, but I’m not sure if they will fit with stock wheels as they might rub on the UCAs. 285/75/16 and 285/70/17 (33s) will fit if you want to drop down a size.
Yep you would think so but Trail Grapplers are a big tyre for their size, Nitto list the overall diameter as 852mm. These are a fair bit bigger than the 305/70/16s I ran before, definitely a cool size though.
josh b I could talk about this for ages but basically I think the BT is the best compromise of power, capability and value for money out of all the IFS utes. To be honest none of the new utes are without their horror stories, but I’ve had a really good run with the BT so far. And they’ve got a much stronger front end and can fit big tyres easier than most of the others 👍
@@123mj1234 ah nice, yeah everyone seems to think a couple brands are terrible for things compared to others. I have an 07 ranger because that and the bt-50 are IMO the best utes of that age, but only 2wd since its for work. if for some reason I somehow could afford a new ute in the next few years, I would personally probably go for an Isuzu, but the BT would be up there
Hey mate, changing the headlights from the orange to the new ones, does it require some sort of modification to the vehicle, or is it just plug n' play ?
Jack O’Malley They don’t scrub in the front at all, no chopping just +20 offset👌 They do rub a bit on my guards in the rear but that’s just a tray specific thing.
thanks man, I had to buy the PX1 Ranger exhaust to get the diff dump. In my experience BTs have basically the same exhausts as PX1 Rangers, just don’t buy the newer Ranger exhaust as they have a different turbo.
@@123mj1234 nice thanks for reply. I’m a former patrol owner and all my other rigs been live axles front and rear. Just bit unsure to get an ifs dual cab but got no option as unless you got coin for a ram there is no other option
as someone who also has a patrol, IFS is better in every scenario except low range 4wding. And even then you can still drive some pretty hard tracks, you’ve just gotta drive stuff a lot slower because the steering setup is so much weaker. If you’re going proper hard 4wding every few weeks, IFS probably isn’t for you - but if you’re just going camping with an occasional casual fourby it wins every time imo.
Lachlan Berry all the sidewall is out of the guards and a little bit of tread showing at the top, probably not gonna attract the cops but still looks good
Any idea of the IDRIVE THROTTLE controller,is this can help my bt50(3.2 auto), planning to fit bigger tires maybe 33s or 35s,especially during take off and offroading,thanks
SpecificGamer_ 24 personally I think throttle controllers are a waste of money. They don’t do anything that you couldn’t do by pushing the pedal down more. The only practical use of them is to decrease throttle response for more control off road. If you actually want to go faster get a remap, otherwise just accept the small loss in power with running big tyres.
Fuck im Suprised he didn't paint the fridge to look like the new arb fridge. Most of the mod's have been trying to make cheap shit look like expensive shit 😂😂😂.
David Hurley They’re awesome on the road, so much grip on both wet and dry tarmac, quiet for an M/T and wear very well. They’re also basically indestructible off road, but they don’t perform as well in thick mud as I’d like and take very low pressures to bag out properly. In saying that they’re still by far the best all round tyre I’ve run out of the BFG KM2s and Hankook M/Ts I ran before this. Unless you drive in slippery mud every weekend you won’t be disappointed.

Awesome video mate, good to see some people with BTs doing videos 👌🏼
How on earth do you do UA-cam creating and drone charging without $7000 worth of enerdrive gear???😂😂
Great video mate and a cool setup.
Love the look of BT-50space cabs, good looking rig
Great vid mate, thanks for the walk around your BT 50 ,great setup has given me some insight on what i might do with mine. Cheers
Good stuff mate, looks like a great set up
O boy look at that pickup truck looks beautiful a'm i big fan of pickup trucks 🤘🤘love it
Just come across your channel and subscribed straight away well done cheers from Hervey Bay 👍🍻🇦🇺
Nice rig mate. Wouldn't happen to have a link for the Solar controller?
Thanks mate, just google Victron Smartsolar 75/15 MPPT and you’ll find plenty for sale. Should be around $150.
I know I'm a bit late to the party but where did you get your suspension fitted.
I'm kitting out my BT50 and would like similar set up to yours.
I got my full length canopy from "My Canopy " too.
Anyhoo, Happy New Year.
Hey mate, i know it's been awhile since you posted this video. But are you running this on 3inch or at 2inch in the front? Thanks mate.
hey mate, awesome rig. is it a DPF or turbo back exhaust?
great video Matty how much was the purchase price of the bt-50, was it your first car? and how much have you spent on it now?
Hey, is there any issues fitting the new headlights on the older model? I can't find any information anywhere about which ones are compatible with my 2014 XTR UP. I've found its the only thing I didn't like on my ute is the orange indicator lenses, the clear ones look shit loads better. Cheers
Hey mate, nah they literally bolt straight in and all the bulbs fit the same, easy swap.
When are you gonna post more videos :)
How'd you go running the wire for the second battery?
I’ve had two bts just got a 2019 model never had any issues at all
Will 295x70x17 tires with stock rim (bt50 3.2 auto dualcab 2019),fit on stock suspension? Thanks again
SpecificGamer_ 24 They should fit on stock suspension with +20 offset wheels like mine, but I’m not sure if they will fit with stock wheels as they might rub on the UCAs. 285/75/16 and 285/70/17 (33s) will fit if you want to drop down a size.
Good stuff
Hey mate with the facelift headlights are they made as facelift or are they just from 2016+ models that fit the 2012-2015
Just from 2016+ models, they bolt straight in to other years
Black Stump 4x4 thanks mate
Maths works out at 33.25" tyres just quietly. Might look at these for mine.
Yep you would think so but Trail Grapplers are a big tyre for their size, Nitto list the overall diameter as 852mm. These are a fair bit bigger than the 305/70/16s I ran before, definitely a cool size though.
Mint BT legend sounds mint to 🤘🏼
With the 295s did they rub much?
not at all
why did you choose a BT-50 over the other ute options? (genuine question not hating on any brand)

Would the 2016+ headlights fit my 2012 Bt?
Yep, bolts straight in with no modifications
Hey mate, changing the headlights from the orange to the new ones, does it require some sort of modification to the vehicle, or is it just plug n' play ?
I also have a 2015, and want to do that modification
Luis Isasi Nah they just bolt straight in and the bulbs fit the same as well, they’re pretty much the exact same just a different colour 👍
hot reno?!
Hey mate, how’d you go with fitting the 34s. And chopping?
Jack O’Malley They don’t scrub in the front at all, no chopping just +20 offset👌 They do rub a bit on my guards in the rear but that’s just a tray specific thing.
Great video is the exhaust noisy in the car whilst on the highway?
Brodie Allen Nah can’t even tell it’s there in 6th, then gets kinda loud when you get uppa
Sounds soooo good!
Arb summit or nothing
hey man sick rig, just wondering where you got the diff dump from for your playtime exhaust cheers
thanks man, I had to buy the PX1 Ranger exhaust to get the diff dump. In my experience BTs have basically the same exhausts as PX1 Rangers, just don’t buy the newer Ranger exhaust as they have a different turbo.
@@123mj1234 ok man thanks for the reply
Nice set up 👍 295 is an odd tyre width but I get why you did it.
How thick is the canopy alloy?
Outdoors Thanks mate, it’s 2.5mm
@@123mj1234
I forgot to ask, what's the length of the canopy?
Outdoors 1200mm on a 2100mm tray 👍
Good video mate 👍🍺
Great set and video.
Mint rig mate, how often do you break CVs ?
I’ve actually never completely broken one. I’ve had two start clicking that I’ve replaced preventatively, but were still fine to drive on.
@@123mj1234 nice thanks for reply. I’m a former patrol owner and all my other rigs been live axles front and rear. Just bit unsure to get an ifs dual cab but got no option as unless you got coin for a ram there is no other option

@@123mj1234 awesome feedback mate appreciate it, hope to see some more vids mate really enjoyed watching your space cheers mate
Do you run front recovery points?
Nah factory tow point is fully welded and seems to be strong as hahaha, but I’d prefer to use the winch unless I’m in a hurry anyway
it looks good. Did you need a 2 lift to fit 33 inch tyres ?
b bardy Nah 33s will fit with no lift on a +20 offset, the more negative offset you go the more troubles you will have with rubbing though
Black Stump 4x4 and Adventure how much poke do you get with the 295/70R17 +20 Offset wheels?
Lachlan Berry all the sidewall is out of the guards and a little bit of tread showing at the top, probably not gonna attract the cops but still looks good
epic rig! how many kms has it got atm?
Thanks mate, 95 thousand and counting
Your current mileage?cheers from the Philippines
SpecificGamer_ 24 96000 kms

How do the Nittos go on the track, highway, in the wet and are they noisey? thinking of getting them
