You’re an absolute weapon mate. So refreshing to have someone on YT that is an industry professional actually creating new content rather than a backyard DIYer regurgitating someone else’s ideas. Your whiteboard master class was dynamite! Love your work 🤘🤘
From someone who's just dabbling in CAD I am so glad you kept emphasising the amount of time and work it takes in the design side of the build. Love seeing an episode and a run through like this in Australia especially with the focus on making it road legal.
You’re an asset for our cause Rich. Love the tech + engineering that goes into these builds. I wish you guys were around in the late 90s when I was frothing over all things 4x4! If I scratch lotto, I’ll give you a call 😊
Another Great Technical episode. Love watching skilled engineers explaining how and why it's done. Thanks for the build updates. The variety on your channel is amazing.
The skills and detail involved in this build is exceptional. The "key" set up concept is !!!!!!!!. Do heavy industrial, so get get it. Great respect. Ever thought of branching out from cars???
I am so happy I found your channel! Would be interesting to see some insight on how you undertake FEA on this geometry and how you define boundary conditions, loading, etc… you are one smart cookie indeed!
Incredible build man, love the vids! Super impressive the attention to detail and work in the background🤙 would be keen to see this side of the design process aswell as the FEA. Would need end user agreements etc but you should sell the CAD file of the plate and tube design.. 80 series Lego 😎 10/10 would purchase! Rock on.. from Tassie🤘
Haha thanks Alister. While I am keen to show parts of it, I think it’s hard to make it interesting. Any ideas? Hahah well, I’m never going to say never 😎
Well done guys, and very informative for people who don’t know. Coming from a race car back ground, you do a great job of explaining it simply. Why not Tig things ??
Thanks mate, really appreciate it especially from someone in the know! I think MIG done well does a pretty good job, it can look awesome as well and saves so much time, its also a lot easier for tacking because you can use your second hand to manipulate the pieces of metal. Stength wise I think they're similar as well. What do you think the benefits of TIG'ing are? Obviously it looks way better!
@@DesignedandBuilt thanks for the reply, again really good videos you guys do. Shall get you guys to do me a 40/80 in the future 😊 I totally get the tacking and quickness in the MiG tacks, and yes do agree MiG done well can look good and is quick. Not that it’s all about looks !! Tig definitely looks better, smaller neater, I’d argue lighter and doesn’t work harden the material like MiG and send as much heat through the material. (Easier to grind as well if need be) Probably really only more so applies to if you’re using chromoly. Guess it’s the Patrol vs Landcruiser mindset huh !! Which is better. Both have there place that’s for sure 👍🏻 Keep up the good work 👏🏻
@@build_drive_adventure TIG is not economically viable for all but the very few clients. I’m highly modifying my Land Rover 110 and TIG welding everything, the time in prep and the slower process takes much longer (much more than double , probably 3-5x)
So awesome seeing this sorta stuff done locally and not another Jeep with d60s or 4runner with a 10 bolt. Living my childhood dream mate! One question for this build, what’s happening with the front? Retaining the 80 style radius arms? Bypass shocks in the front?
Some neat fab work. How comes you have not braced the knuckles ? Worth thinking about your tac points, tacs in the middle of a weld lead to lumps. Subcribed
Super deep dive on this build! Are any loz's previous leaf builds spring over conversions? I'd be keen to hear some engineering thoughts of leaf options for us stuck in the past ha
great vid richo, but was curious if you had thought about a 5 link set up with extended lowers (like you can get for the gu/gq patrol from superior but obviously not trying to make that work just the idea of longer lowers). Im curious as to if those would provide some of the same flex benefits that the 4link does, or if its just no good and should either lean one way or the other with 5link vs 4link. thanks mate
Hey Ben, that setup looks like it flexes really well! Having longer lowers with shorter uppers means the pinions angle would change a fair bit during bump/droop which isn't ideal. The roll centre is fixed with a panhard setup as well (mid panhard) which isn't great for setting up a race car. I'm not sure what the diff would do laterally during bump/droop either but I would imagine side shift a lot more than a 4 link setup. What are you setting up the car for?
Love your videos man. With needing to notch the chassis becuase the trailing arm hits at full bump or close to. Would double triangulatulation have stopped the trailing arm hitting the chassis?
Sorry about off topic comment: Did you have any dramas finding 95 octane fuel up in cape york? I have a turbo barra patrol and am looking to do the ott. Might bring some octane booster just in case
There’s only 91 in spots, my Barra has VCT and can cope although you can hear it misfiring at super high rpm’s. I just fill it up with 91 though and don’t stress.

Soy el respetado propietario de un Suzuki Jimmy 4x4 con motor de gasolina m13a 1.3 LT, gasolina, completamente original, año 2001. De hecho, es completamente original, que suelo conducir a menudo por caminos rurales y forestales, y con los neumáticos de barro adecuados también irá bien.

Re: prize raffle. Not sure if you guys have checked legalities, but requiring a merch purchase may turn this prize into a raffle, which needs a permit unless it's for a charity. Would suck to have some gov department on your case or getting hot with fines.
I was wondering about the Land Cruiser that was the first one street legal on 40 inch tires in Victoria or was i Queensland ...... What did happen to that car? To have a car street legal in Aussiland is a bit of a joke...... You have to have an engineer to make a statement about it..... do the car control system not have any people with some know how on cars or is it just to make it impossible for people to make changes to their cars.

Haha thanks Rhys, appreciate it! Glad you enjoy watching.
If only I could turn back time I would have gone down the mechanical engineering pathway instead of IT. Love your work Rich & thanks for sharing.
Nothing wrong with IT! No problems, cheers for the support.
SICK video, the explanations were amazing, you have inspired me to get a degree in Mechanical Engineering and build amazing and intricate machines.
Haha awesome to hear! Get ready to hit the books 🙇♂️

The real MVP of the channel 😂
Love the whiteboard lessons. Super clear explanations !
Cheers Thomas!
Nice video, Richo. Your CAD skills are on point - I can certainly appreciate the time and talent that went into these!
Thanks mate, appreciate it. Cheers for the comment!
That is some very fancy-looking bar work, keep up the great work.
What a fun project. The 1st is always the hardest, but now you have all the modelling and CAD done I bet there will be many more after this one.
Thanks mate, absolutely! This will form the basis of a few projects to come I would imagine.
I am so happy I found your channel! Would be interesting to see some insight on how you undertake FEA on this geometry and how you define boundary conditions, loading, etc… you are one smart cookie indeed!
Cheers mate, I am thinking about a second channel for maybe some more technical videos like that!
Amazing design. Always happy when a new video comes out!
Thanks mate, I wish I could make them more often!
Great video, and explanations. Nice to see the transferability between 4WD link design and Formula SAE.
Cheers Doogs! Heaps of transferability.
Very enjoyable watch mate! Giving me plenty of info for my build appreciate it
Cheers Rhys!
Yes! One of the best “shows on the telly” or vlog on my iPad if you like🍻
Cheers Nick! Glad you enjoy it!
Truly epic. Amazing work!

Good episode Richard.👌Very educational.✍
Cheers Scott! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Love ya work Swindel👌

The way you explain things i reckon i could show my mrs (who isnt into cars) a video of yours and she'd be understanding it by the end of it
Hahaha but would she be interested?
@@DesignedandBuilt she'd just tell me I'm doing it wrong because I'm still on leafs

Radius arm front! Bypass shocks and coilovers though!
Great video amazing content ❤
Thank you Leighton!
Love these videos mate. Can’t wait to see you design a front coil swap kit for the 100 series - that’s next right?
Hahaha, wasn’t planning on doing one but everyone has a price 🤣
Art 👌🏻

Haha I'll have a chat to him about it.... not my area of expertise...
Is there a video covering how you use the design program?
And possibly how it’s converted to cnc
Damn goooood.....

Will they allow Solidworks FEA? And not ANSYS.
Yep!
how do you guys get this engineered???

are patrol diffs wider than 80 series ?
Yep!
