If no one has said it, thanks for doing an entire build on an episode. KZfaqrs have this horrible habit of needing a teaser, a cliffhanger, or a "I can't show you yet" in every single video to keep their audience hooked. Keep doing builds like this and you won't need any gimmicks. Get em Throtl.

@@mathewlepp1723 completely agree. Steps/stages I’m more than ok with, but when something is clearly done, “but I can’t show you” to create some mystique to come back is more what I’m referring to. Stance works is another good one where he’s taking you along as he has things done but doesn’t do a lot of cliff hanging.

Tip. The external air fitting need to be mounted to the top of the bumper. If he catches a ledge that fitting is going bye bye.

@lonesomecricket7721 Жыл бұрын

Also, I would have mounted that air compressor inside the engine bay. Dust, water and damage is a real possibility in that location.

@zerohero187 Жыл бұрын

My initial thoughts exactly. Nothing should hang below the rear bumper. Including the rear exiting exhaust. I know from experience. I have an fj with dual exhaust exiting in the rear. Biggest mistake I've made on my build. Wound up cutting them back after they got squished. I also would have gotten an actual bumper made for a winch. I don't like how it petrudes out so far. Also, if it's not made for it I'd always be worried that it wouldn't take the extreme forces a winch puts on the bumper when in use. He's probably gonna wind up wanting a second battery if he eventually puts a fridge in the back. I wouldn't trust the one battery with the solar panel in the middle of no where. The colors definitely not my taste but thats just me. Screams mall crawler to me. I don't mean to sound like I am criticizing every decision made on this build but if this guy is serious about offroading this truck than these are things that need to be considered. If he's sticking to dirt roads not far off the beaten path and not using the winch to much than he'll probably be fine.

@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi Жыл бұрын

There is plenty of room inside in the rear cargo bay behind the plastic panels where they could have mounted it too, but being honest one of my fjs hasnt got the extra petrol tank under there and nothing ever gets under there ie water or dirt as its in a good spot.

A lot of great upgrades! Only things i would have changed from an off road prospective are proper frame mounted rock sliders, and an integrated winch bumper. The later could just be personal taste though.

@hungryalien Жыл бұрын

for sure on the frame mounted rock sliders.. also add some rock lights on all 4 wheels too for night trails!

@bigtoepfer Жыл бұрын

As I was watching this I was wondering why it didn't have proper rocksliders rather than the rock catchers. And why they added a winch to that bumper. Cool that he got a free winch. But that is definitely not a proper way to mount a winch and it isn't going to hold up to being used.

I could not recommend highly enough, Voltage sensitive relays. They originated from the marine industry, and are the most superior way for dual Battery systems. They are brilliant for both alternator charging as well as solar and 3 stage chargers and will prioritise charge to the primary battery/start battery, if you need a jump start you can just jump the positive side. Ctek make great 3 stage chargers for deep cycle batteries. Also cabling has to be large enough to prevent voltage drop, it's better to bring the negative cables back to the battery or a dedicated terminal post to help prevent voltage loss. The automotive world kinda got it wrong with low voltage cabling, as energy flows from negative to positive and cabling is far more efficient to carry energy then the cars body. I installed my dual Battery system and it ran perfectly for over 10 years in my Prado, sold the vehicle and it's still going, 6 years later. AGM batteries with 3 stage chargers all day!
