While we stay home this Easter so we can all go 4wding again sooner, here's a walkaround of the Black Stump camera car - my Mazda BT-50.

Awesome video mate, good to see some people with BTs doing videos 👌🏼

Great vid mate, thanks for the walk around your BT 50 ,great setup has given me some insight on what i might do with mine. Cheers

Love the look of BT-50space cabs, good looking rig

Good stuff mate, looks like a great set up

Just come across your channel and subscribed straight away well done cheers from Hervey Bay 👍🍻🇦🇺

Great set and video.

Sounds soooo good!

Mint BT legend sounds mint to 🤘🏼

O boy look at that pickup truck looks beautiful a'm i big fan of pickup trucks 🤘🤘love it

Good video mate 👍🍺

How on earth do you do KZread creating and drone charging without $7000 worth of enerdrive gear???😂😂 Great video mate and a cool setup.

Good stuff

great video Matty how much was the purchase price of the bt-50, was it your first car? and how much have you spent on it now?

I’ve had two bts just got a 2019 model never had any issues at all

I know I'm a bit late to the party but where did you get your suspension fitted. I'm kitting out my BT50 and would like similar set up to yours. I got my full length canopy from "My Canopy " too. Anyhoo, Happy New Year.

How'd you go running the wire for the second battery?

Hey mate, i know it's been awhile since you posted this video. But are you running this on 3inch or at 2inch in the front? Thanks mate.

hey mate, awesome rig. is it a DPF or turbo back exhaust?

Hey, is there any issues fitting the new headlights on the older model? I can't find any information anywhere about which ones are compatible with my 2014 XTR UP. I've found its the only thing I didn't like on my ute is the orange indicator lenses, the clear ones look shit loads better. Cheers

SpecificGamer_ 24 They should fit on stock suspension with +20 offset wheels like mine, but I’m not sure if they will fit with stock wheels as they might rub on the UCAs. 285/75/16 and 285/70/17 (33s) will fit if you want to drop down a size.

Hey mate, how’d you go with fitting the 34s. And chopping?

Jack O’Malley They don’t scrub in the front at all, no chopping just +20 offset👌 They do rub a bit on my guards in the rear but that’s just a tray specific thing.

Maths works out at 33.25" tyres just quietly. Might look at these for mine.

Yep you would think so but Trail Grapplers are a big tyre for their size, Nitto list the overall diameter as 852mm. These are a fair bit bigger than the 305/70/16s I ran before, definitely a cool size though.

thanks man, I had to buy the PX1 Ranger exhaust to get the diff dump. In my experience BTs have basically the same exhausts as PX1 Rangers, just don’t buy the newer Ranger exhaust as they have a different turbo.

josh b I could talk about this for ages but basically I think the BT is the best compromise of power, capability and value for money out of all the IFS utes. To be honest none of the new utes are without their horror stories, but I’ve had a really good run with the BT so far. And they’ve got a much stronger front end and can fit big tyres easier than most of the others 👍

@@123mj1234 ah nice, yeah everyone seems to think a couple brands are terrible for things compared to others. I have an 07 ranger because that and the bt-50 are IMO the best utes of that age, but only 2wd since its for work. if for some reason I somehow could afford a new ute in the next few years, I would personally probably go for an Isuzu, but the BT would be up there

as someone who also has a patrol, IFS is better in every scenario except low range 4wding. And even then you can still drive some pretty hard tracks, you’ve just gotta drive stuff a lot slower because the steering setup is so much weaker. If you’re going proper hard 4wding every few weeks, IFS probably isn’t for you - but if you’re just going camping with an occasional casual fourby it wins every time imo.

David Hurley They’re awesome on the road, so much grip on both wet and dry tarmac, quiet for an M/T and wear very well. They’re also basically indestructible off road, but they don’t perform as well in thick mud as I’d like and take very low pressures to bag out properly. In saying that they’re still by far the best all round tyre I’ve run out of the BFG KM2s and Hankook M/Ts I ran before this. Unless you drive in slippery mud every weekend you won’t be disappointed.

@123mj1234

4 жыл бұрын

SpecificGamer_ 24 personally I think throttle controllers are a waste of money. They don’t do anything that you couldn’t do by pushing the pedal down more. The only practical use of them is to decrease throttle response for more control off road. If you actually want to go faster get a remap, otherwise just accept the small loss in power with running big tyres.
