Love this build! I think you have nailed the balance between a proper tuff tracks rig and touring capable.

You get so much done Tyler It's been non stop for 4 years!

What a beast! So many mods in such a quick succession!! Lovin' this build mate 👌👍🤟😎 Really Cool (& scary 😜) to see the actual costs listed. Not many youtubers are brave enough to do it but it makes it a lot more honest and complete 👌😎

Coming along nicely 👌 Exhaust sounds sweet!

The mods will never stop..never complete..never enough...keep going...good luck TT 🤘🏻

I enjoy all your videos. I have a TB48 with a 130L useable main tank and 70L useable subtank on a 2 inch lift and 33s and find I hit the subtank far more than the main tank so I dont think you will have any issues with catching it on things

Good to see the progress mate. The build is looking good. The flex joint on the exhaust just after the extractors is what is missing on most and leads to cracking if you don't have it. So glad you got one with it. Just on the airbox, there is a deflector plate on the inside that you can remove to even out the airflow across the filter. It makes a difference and you'll notice that with it in, only half of the filter ends up dirty. With it removed, you'll use the whole filter and get a longer life out of it. Have you had a tune yet from Brad Smith yet? Now that you've done all the basics, the 4.8 will turn into a boring car! Put fuel in and drive. I had my first mechanical the other day in mine in the 8 years that I've owned it. The starter motor died. Not bad for 18 years old....😂

Idk what it is but the idle noise on these is the Betsy, it’s a thrilling sound, even better than a VK56

lol i fitted the same tank on the ground with a mate.. prick of a job!! she's looking shmick now !! oh and don't run this tank low.. its shocking for fuel surge under a 1/4 of a tank when wheeling. i ended up putting a Holley fuel mat in and now i can get every drop out and never have fuel surge, especially when off road. the bar looks great but looks like a copy of the Opposite Lock brand bar besides the lights. yes you will smash that tank but i can assure you they are tough as nails. i think i have lost a few litres of capacity of mine lol

Looking like a hard-core offroad machine.

Nice one.👍 It would be interesting to find out the total cost of all the mods and accessories fitted for the GU so far. It's turned into a legit off-road weapon. 👍

Keep up the great work and videos. What’s the whole build from stock to Modified cost roughly? The wagon looks great well done

LOOKIN GOOD TT.... 😁😀

You've got it looking good mate. FYI, carrying jerry cans of fuel on a rear bar is illegal due to it being in a impact zone an the flammability of unleaded petrol. I believe diesel is ok though. Keep up the great work mate

Hey Mate. Loving the GU! Just bought one myself with an engineered chop. It's dual fuel though and wanting to remove the gas. No one has standard tanks for sale. 2 questions, do you still have the standard main tank and do you want to sell it? Second question, which tank was it you got from outback equipment? There's a few different part numbers with no descriptions to differentiate. Thanks mate

If that duckbill in the airbox is nice and soft, it will be fine. If it's hard or cracked looking, buy another one

How’s your weight going?

Is there such a thing as a final mod?

I would have thought Tyler would have learnt his lesson about what happens when you use things out of engineered specs when his roof rack went for a header, seems not. Is anything on this build actually engineered and plated? Or is it a she’ll be write mate approach until it isn’t?

Turbo it

I ditched using overpriced name brand tyres many years ago & exclusively used Chinese MT tyres since on two Prado’s. I am choosy with which ones I’ve used though. Some look rubbish with the tread & others look much better. No issues at all. 3 Cape York trips with them on too. I don’t rotate tyres, and get on average 45,000-50,000km from the fronts alone before replacing them. I corner appropriately (not like I’m driving a sports car). The rears last up to 90,000km. $200 a tyre vs $350. What’s not to like. I’ve found people that have knocked them for the various reasons they’ve given have BS excuses that were the cause of other issues, not the tyres. Worn ball joints and poor driving style. I clocked up 400,000km on my first Prado & am up to 300,000km on my second. So have lots of experience using 4wd tyres. Previous experience with name brand ones were Pirelli Scorpion STR, Maxxis Bighorn & Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac (well & truly before they got super popular). The Duratrac’s once they were close to 50% worn were the noisiest tyre by far at 60kmh or more. The Maxxis Bighorns wore down the fastest out of all my tyres, bit they gripped extremely well on firm wet clay surfaces (Glasshouse Mtns tracks after a few showers). The Pirelli Scorpions were the lightest duty & worst value for money out of the lot & the only tyre I’ve punctured while driving off-road. I’ve used Goodride SL366 & was pleased with them. My fav Chinese tyre are the APlus A929 and I’m going on to my second set consecutively where I’m about to replace my rear 2 tyres with them which will make it 8 of their tyres I’ve used one after the other. Very good tyre & $190 each where I get them from.

Thanks for the feedback on the chinese rubber. I was tempted to go down that path a few months ago however I ended up stumbling on a sale at Tyroola and was able to get brand name tyres for $230 a corner. So it does pay to look around before going to the chinese. Cheers
