Make sure on the GU Patrol you put support bracing on top of the rear springs because when they bend the right hand side will squeeze against the brake line and fuel lines that run over the top of the hood of the springs. And get your body lifted 50ml off the chassis and you will thank yourself for it later. When are the things you use the fuel tank make sure you fix the Earth up from sub tank and main tank preferably straight to the chassis. They're the only bad habits.

They’re a fun vehicle and I miss my ti model, but I just couldn’t afford the fuel bill, lol. When it hit the rev limiter though, I couldn’t help but smile! Great rig mate and I hope you continue enjoying it for years to come. 😁👍🏼

Gotta love the tb48 patrol. Had mine for 4 years now, 42000 on clock still going strong. This my second tb48 had auto now got manual. Great video. Keep up the good work.

Awesome rig Tyler!!!! Glad to see it’s gonna be back in action gettin used for what it’s built for 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

@stevens.2574 10 ай бұрын

This rig is the reason I decided not to sell mine 2 years ago and so glad I didn't, mate don't turbo it the TB48 will go forever if well maintained sure turbo would be so much fun but you'll lose that reliability and they still leave the td"s for dead in standard form.

Totally agree with you, solid axels front & rear with twin diff lockers is the way to go - hands down. My choice of vehicle differs from yours but the rest doesn’t.

earlier this year i grabbed a chopped TB48 (space cab ute) running 4.1 ratios on maxxis 315 75 16 beadlocks and 85% reduction gears with front ARB locker. Kings rear suspension and steering dampner, full superior on 3 inch dobbo flexi coils. I've done 2 4x4 Weekend warrior competitions and last weekend drove 400kms to the comp and back home. they are bloody good things and very strong and capable. The 85% reductions are excellent with the auto. top speed around 55kmh. in long slow rough stuff not racing Snow mode is handy to smooth things out..

Nice vid mate. I’m really interested to hear about all your coil spring weight carrying and flex learnings you were talking about the other week with the GQ. Seems like a hard balance. I’m on my second set of 3inch lift rear springs now….

@elijahslater5999 3 ай бұрын

That's the best documented build run down hands down I have actually ever watched, I pick up my first gu patrol on Saturday and except it's a 4.5 ti it's set up for touring already just not extreme stuff. Also how has it not been on its side, you certainly work those axles to there limits haha drive it like you stole it . Cheers for the good entertainment... 👍 looks wicked . Should put a roll over protecting bar up the middle pillars on the inside extra safety for the kids .

@bikerssupportingcountrytow6904 10 ай бұрын

Go and see old mate Rodney known as rocket from automatic wholesalers and get a look-up kit for your GU Patrol and also if you don't do that use your automatic like a manual & Lockett in 1st gear low range and if you need to go second you still can. I also find the Automatics good going downhill in low range first gear yep you don't need to use brakes.

@ericjohnson6802 10 ай бұрын

Engineering was cheap. Here in Tas I was quoted 5k and up to engineer for 35s. Insurance? We've found you cannot insure for the real cost of these trucks with any company. Most well undervalue the true cost/value of the car, including those that brag about insuring full value. Eg., GQ shorty costs so far 40k, insured for 25- best we could get anywhere. Some valued it at 6k!!

Awesome video mate. What is she weighing in at?? My TB48 is at 3.2tonne and I'm barely halfway through my build. And how do you go on steep downhills? Even in 1st gear low I can't seem to get mine to crawl. Over a certain steepness it just runs away from me and I'm having to use way too much brake. Is it the reduction gears that will fix that?

I thought this was bought to be an offroad touring family car and not necessary a hard wheeling rig. Has that initial plan now changed? Such a big transformation from grandpa spec to a track weapon.

Was always a family car and still is, never necessarily as a tourer though, was always twin lockers and 35's so can do hard tracks and touring and everything

Do you actually realize that you have the best basic, the best potential to have the TOP terrain SUV in the world in general? What did you talk about with reliability? With correct and proper modifications, parts to the engine, cooling, transmission, etc... I think you know, after that you can have the full reliable Y61 TB48 with 700-800 HP and 1100-1400 Nm without any doubt. That's why the TB48 Turbo/s Y61 PATROLS are the highest peaks between all versatile terrain full size SUV's.
