I like to think I’m not, and it’s part of the reason I wanted to tell the whole story, that this Ute didn’t just appear out of nowhere all over the top with crazy stuff bolted to it.. like I got there slowly and paid for most of it, it’s only recently that a couple of companies have stepped in and helped out, and they’re companies I proudly shopped at prior, like superior and outback. 🙏🏻 Thanks for taking the time to comment & thanks for the kind words mate appreciate it 👊🏻

Couldn't agree more. Great video!

Cheers mate that’s what she’s all about!

Thanks Jen, come up mint 🙏🏻

Most of it was yeah! Only recently a few companies have helped out, like superior with hydros and long arms, outback equip with some of the 24v stuff but yeah Id already spent my own money at both of those companies before so it’s gear I’d buy myself I think that’s important! Cheers for watching mate much appreciate the feedback 🙏🏻

Thanks mate 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Haha yeah it has, thanks mate 🙏🏻

Awesome mate thanks for checking it out 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Get her done mate, doesn’t have to happen over night, bit by bit they eventually get there! 👍🏻

Awesome mate!! Good to hear, honestly it worries me doing a video of me just talking haha, and I mean especially for an hour, (cut down to 28mins) but yeah, appreciate that people wanna hear dude cheers

Heck yeah mate thanks heaps, I’m sure I’ll continue to find stuff to tinker with on it haha.

Thanks heaps mate 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I only have been uploading this year though haha

Mate.. Honestly, I appreciate that comment so much.. Thank you for taking the time to let me know. That is 100% what I’m about, what this video is about and always have been. So yeah, thanks again mate. Glad you enjoyed and got the vibe you did. 👊🏻

@@timmyhasheart keep it up mate, you’re killing it! 👍🏻👍🏻

Appreciate you mate 🙏🏻

Thanks so much mate, appreciate you checking out the older videos too! Only chop it if you have to haha, it’s a lot of work. 😅

@@timmyhasheart yeah it's going to happen mate but will be giving myself more time than 17 weeks 🤣. Cheers 👍

Yeah definitely mate, I appreciate that. To be honest it still blows my mind that I have a couple of brands willing to help me with some gear but even before that every spare cent I had went into these cars haha. But yeah I’m a firm believer of using it first and buying stuff later 👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

@timmyhasheart good to see the brands getting behind some grass roots down to earth enthusiasts, like youself. Keep up the good work, and Im sure more brands will help out.

Thanks heaps mate!! It’s bloody awesome to go back and see where they came from hey, was heaps of fun going through all the old footage of all the things I’ve done and places I’ve been.

Nice one mate anything is fixable!! Appreciate you checking out the video 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

Thanks mate! It sure has 😅 been through a LOT and still kicking

That’s awesome dude thank you 👊🏻👊🏻

Thanks heaps mate that’s what she’s about, I’ve always wanted to show that like.. I mean yeah I’ve spent crazy amounts on this car but to be honest it did a lot of tough stuff and saw the country without half the bells and whistles people shove in your face 👊🏻

Cheers dude appreciate it 🙏🏻

Cheers mate, thanks for watching 🙏🏻

If you’re on a budget, and just want to scoot a bit quicker on the highway, I’d find a secondhand one off a GU every day of the week, benefit is all off the shelf exhausts fit.. If you want a bit more efficiency and don’t mind spending a bit extra, I’d look at a 16g or GTurbo Green Wheel with a HT18 rear housing, so that factory exhausts still fit. (GTurbo also sell a great factory replica manifold if you can’t find a factory one.

Thanks so much mate! Appreciate the kind words. The setup to date is 3” coils and 7” shocks (about 13” travel) with hyperflex front arms, superior rear long arms, front hydros, rear rubber bumps all set to suit shock lengths, coil retention all round and extended brake lines 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Appreciate you mate, that’s what she’s about 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Cheers mate appreciate it 🔥

Nice mate thank you, thanks for checking them all out! 🙏🏻

Cheers mate! Old footy? I assume you mean old Tele haha

@@timmyhasheart yeah I guess. I've been watching since the start. Well put together

Thanks so much mate, I mean I don’t think it’s horrible to go blow $100k and do it all at once if you have the money and it’s what you want to do, it’s more so feeling like you HAVE to, to be able to get out there, it’s just not true, this car did everything it ever needed to 100 mods ago haha, everything since then is just cause I wanted to. 😂 Mine blew coal while I had the fuel cranked up, yeah. It doesn’t now though I’ve tuned it right right back in order to look after the new engine 🙏🏻

Get her done son! Rip the tools out and get on the big girl 👊🏻

It was starting to give be the shits with the double cardan joint stuffing up in it shorty patrol with 7 inch lift drives awesome just the angle stuffs the joint needs a land Rover 6x6 one in it or all new suspension and dropping to 2 or 3 with the 36s

Haha yeah I just hacked away at the guards, I was pretty noob back then, but there is a lot to be said for changing control arms so that your wheel can be pushed back away from guards and therefore less cutting required but if you’ve got bog in it from rust then get cutting I say 😇

trying to get the wife her licence, at which point we might be getting a little echo from her grandmother. if that happens, what 12 inch grinder do you recommend?

Awesome mate thank you 🙏🏻

Thanks so much mate, appreciate it 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hahaha mate it makes me miss my GQ wags! But was just too rusty and ruined in the end 😅

Cheers mate! Na that was just going out for a bit of a play mate, testing out the new lockers and that 🤙🏻

Honestly I made a lot of mistakes and did a lot of things wrong additionally to what ended up in this video that I’ve left out, if it’s stayed in the story I think it’s important, a big regret would probably be the E Lockers for one, and another big one is trying to chase power and getting greedy with power. Keep it reliable and enjoy it.

Thanks heaps mate appreciate you watching 🔥🔥🙏🏻🙏🏻

Haha nice mate, that’s the thing I wanted to show - they don’t just get done overnight it’s taken years to get it to where it is 👊🏻

Haha cheers mate, appreciate it thanks for watching 🤙🏻

Yeah look a lot of people say the same thing about TD42’s or even the ZD30.. I know people that walk around and say the same thing about both, “my ZD has been great for me” while others have blown up 4 and call them grenades. Some things work for some people, some things don’t.. all I know is when I had ELockers, they nearly never worked, despite troubleshooting, having 12v at the diff, rewiring, rebuilding several times, and airlockers work every time. I can’t keep just uploading videos of me sitting in front of my car telling stories haha, but maybe in the future at some point I’ll dive into them. The lockers is a long winded story though, and went on for over a year of me taking the diff out multiple times. Cheers for the comment mate 🙏🏻

Hey mate I run 12” travel fronts and 13” travel rears which are superior 7” lift remote res shocks and run 3” coils. All bump stopped to never bottom out shocks. 👍🏻

Thanks heaps mate, much appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻 oh really haha that’s awesome 🤙🏻

Cheers boss man 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Haha grass is always greener hey I miss the mainland!! Keen to get back over there!

Haha she’s come a long way! Feels like I’ve had her forever!

Haha hell no mate, just 2 Patrols that are probably just as needy 😅 thanks mate appreciate it 👊🏻

Honestly all you can really do is upload consistent & content people will enjoy & as long as you enjoy it it’ll become a routine. I’d be lying if I said I built this channel myself, I had a big advantage from being mates with Tyler, not only by being lucky to be featured by him on socials but also being able to seek his advice etc. But yeah best advice I have is that instagram and KZfaq seem to be the most valuable to grow so put equal effort into them. 🙏🏻

@@timmyhasheart thanks heaps I will do my best . It would be great to go for a drive somewhere with you one day I'm keen anytime cheers I will put my whole heart in an see what happens is all I can do ? Thanks for getting back to me. Mad bro

Hey mate any details about engineering feel free to reach out on Insta rather than public and cheers mate appreciate it 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I dunno whether that’s the case at all tbh, no one talked me into doing them or anything, I made the call cause the last ones I tried were air lockers and I liked the idea of only having to run 12v to the diffs, I still love the idea of them, the front one was flawless but yeah without going right into it the rear one let me down a lot, but it’s not because of the typical stuff people whine about, like them disengaging supposedly on direction change and all that BS. Totally different issues. 🤙🏻 cheers for the comment

Haha I dunno how many more times I can just upload videos of me talking random crap though, might have to leave it a few weeks and do some proper videos, although this took me longer to put together than most other videos cause it’s such a long story and length of time haha.

Make it a sneaky mid week episode 👌

Haha maybe, I do work full time though this one took ages, but I’ll see how much random footage I have in my phone of the whole locker ordeal. Lucky I take a lot of snap chats and videos while I’m doing random jobs. I just should have sacked up and filmed it but I had a lot going on and 2 patrols with 4 diffs pulled out at once swapping stuff around 😂

And also thinking injectors too!

I wouldn’t worry about touching the head much less “upgrade to turbo head” they’re not different enough to worry mate, turbo head is a tad less compression, I only did it because my head gasket was gone and I didn’t want to have downtime. For example if I took the head off and it was actually the head that was cracked rather than the head gasket being blown I didn’t want to have to wait for a machine shop to redo the/a head. So I just bought a head and replaced the head and gasket at the same time. Cheers for the kind words mate 🙏🏻

@@timmyhasheart legend mate, thanks for the info. I will be buying the same pump you did, did you do injectors? I’m thinking a fresh set of the zexel injectors won’t hurt! Also will probably just go a 16g over the 18. Thoughts? Lol no rush on the reply mate. Thanks

Yeah right, well mine was a UFI200 which was an 11mm at the time, but now I’m pretty sure even their UFI230 pumps are 11mm. They only start 12mm at about 250 I think.. but like that’s just evidence that you don’t need a “12mm pump” just cause it’s the word every one knows.. dead set a UFI230 would be enough to break all the cranks your heart desires. And yeah I did do new injectors mate, just Zexel ones from Patrolapart which are genuine. Zexel is the manufacturer of genuine fuel components for Nissan. 🤙🏻

@@timmyhasheart ripper, thanks heaps for your info mate, really appreciate it. Will chat to you soon

Hahaha let’s hope so, going strong so far 😂

Ahh now I have Dirty Life Roadkills, before that they were just dynamic steel rims 👍🏻👍🏻

Yeah times have changed :( this certainly wasn’t perfect but it was bloooooody clean on the outside for $8k

Hey mate, na just factory GU front and rear. Tbh they’re ridiculous after breaking 6 GQ ones, went up a tyre size and still drive as hard and still yet to break one.

@@timmyhasheart that’s awesome man it goes to show how much stronger they are compared to the old ones, my 75 breaks axles everytime I leave my driveway😂

Yeah mate know all about them, there is a few done here, same with OM606. I don’t really rate the idea of RPM diesels hey, the goal with mine has always been to make as much torque as early as possible, those 3L euros are designed to rev, if I wanted to rev I’d chuck a petrol in haha. I do understand the appeal, power + fuel eco is never a bad thing, but I’d rather torque all day personally 🤙🏻

Cheers mate 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Cheers mate 🤙🏻

Yeah that’s it
