Nice Harry and thanks for commenting...
@@TeamBulletOffroad while I got you here what’s your two cents worth an info on catch cans an voiding warranty from Toyota ? Debating weather or not to fit as it sounds like across the board Toyota feel this is an engine mod that does not comply ..
@@harryridley2714 It depends from Dealer to Dealer, my dealer I got it in writing that it will NOT void warranty, but some dealers won't, but at the end of the day the new model with TSS I hear their not willing to because they feel they don't yet know what faults might come up. So just another reason to say "VOIDS WARRANTY"
@@TeamBulletOffroad yeah copy that mate , might pop into the local Moruya Toyota an have a yarn to them but I’m pretty sure I know what the answer from them will be .
awesome Denny, the 79 is a big improvement from the early ones even with the DPF , i have had no issues with mine
Yes im really liking it..
Ah yes modified 79’s 100k of pure poverty 👌 haha love it mate ripper ute
Nice one James.... Cheers
Just a heads up, changing the brand of shocks from the TJM ones can void the GVM upgrade as the SSM has approval for their shocks and spring combo only. Had this problem wanting to change my lovells for bp51 with a lovells SSM upgrade. New 79... 14 months and counting.
Nice re you new one coming..... You would have to be super unlucky to get done for changing shocks, my 16model got the gvm upgrade done and when 2 years later I needed to replace shocks they had been discontinued, so engineers weren't too concerned about which brand I used.....
@@TeamBulletOffroad yeah I'm not worried about the cops picking up on a shock change just an insurance accessor in the event of a total write off... maybe I'll get some bp51 and lovells stickers for them.
I've given up on the new one anyway thinking I'll send the 2016 pre dpf into get the Jmax coil rear done and keep it. Don't mind waiting for the new vehicle it's the lack of a firm delivery date that I can't plan around!
Hey mate thought you would of put the 700 parabolic springs in this new cruiser
Hi Tony, yes well if we go back a good few years now, I was the 1st to get these 700kg ones after the testing I did on the 500s were not up to scratch, I felt that I helped r and d the 700s and was very happy with them, few years later I did hit them up and they didnt even want to help me out with another set as an ambassador type situation, kind of forgetting what I had done for them... As much as l did love them, they worked great, I have morals, unfortunately they have rubbed me up the wrong way with what they have done...
Thanks for your honest reply mate. They should be looking after you because before watching your video I had a quote from Iron man & tuff dog . Basically juggling those 2 then seen your videos and now booked in for TT 700’s parabolic…
@@tonykurowski1662 You will love them...
Hi mate, how come you decided to keep the white truck and not get the sandy? Thanks mate
Long story, try keep it as short as possible, the new one was supposed to be here by now, but my dealer now says early 2024, Marks portals have already gone up 10k to my original price and set to go up again with his updated upgrades, plus the 2nd hand market has been hit pretty badly with people not paying stupid money for them, I could have sold the white one late last year for good coin, but I wouldn't have had a 79 for at least a year, so a trip every couple of months is what we have planned for 2023, 2 big trips under our belts already and another in the making real soo, figured life too short to be waiting and paying in excess of 60k for portals....
@@TeamBulletOffroad yeah mate im hearing you. What are your thoughts on coil conversions for these things ? Looking forward to future vids mate good work
@@brodielegg9844 Still not sure for me considering this bus does 80% of its driving with something hooked to the tower... Cheers Brodie
Hey mate I'm about to pull thr trigger on some T.T 400 to 700kg parabolics for touring Australia towing a single axle van. I currently rum old man emu conventional leafs. Do you reccomend the parabolics?
Yes the 700 parabolic were awesome on the grey truck, you will still need airbags if the weight gets up there, as you do get the "bounces" when the weight gets up there, especially when you add the ball weight...
@@TeamBulletOffroad thanks for the info mate, I do have a set of bags I can put on. Ruffly 420kg of tray and canopy plus 230kg of ball weight 650-680kg. I have just bought some BP51s so hoping it's a good combination the current ride is awful towing. Need a kindly belt
@@jamieemery-bp7jg I Here you... Yes with those numbers put the bags in...
hey mate how much longer each side is a 80 front diff compared to a ln106?
100mm each side
