It’s on my bucket list the challenge is I am sure you will agree what makes it special and memorable. Greatest job .

    Hey mate, we were down to around 13-16 psi, not normal pressures. Pretty sure we mentioned that a few times in the video. Sometimes it’s so rough the pressures can only do so much. Remember the car was rough 40 years ago let alone now 👍🏼

    Why would ya say that? Just curious. I’m a Nissan Patrol Td42ti coil ute owner 2004 model, with a 18g turbo & bigger intercooler & it fully hauls ass & is so reliable my last engine i replaced at 860K & my new engine is on 350K’s both engines push’n 25psi boost & I’ve never turned the key & not started… Now this dude is driving a old Landcruiser troopy & the old horse’n cart era crap leaf springs is the main fault & let down in these old trucks.. Chucka turbo & cooler on these old Landcruiser’s & if they got the money? A coil spring modification makes these old cruiser’s 100 times better than all these modern IFS twin cab & ute models, like the ford ranger’s for example yeh engines are built badly that let go around 75K’s & the crap gearboxes Go read the Ford Ranger forums & read about the endless engine failures out of a $75 to $85k vehicles that are modern vehicles 2020-2022-3….. & your run’n down these Grouse old Reliable A F diesel troopy’s … I tell ya i rather my old tech TD42TI engine in my Nissan Patrol Ute or one of these old Landcruiser Troopy or Utes than any of these modern common rail high tech diesel vehicles with their DPF, Expensive injection pumps & injector’s & vehicles all made in Thailand & Mexico , no wonder they are all crap as ya can’t beat the Japanese Engineering Quality..
