Hii bro
I love Toyota 🔥🔥👌👌
Hey where does the timer control plug into??
Out of curiosity, is schooling required for this sort of job? Such as a technologist diploma?
If you are looking to do more technical work then yes (such as microwave path profiling, link planning, and network design and engineering there are courses available), if you are looking to do the climbing and physical installation, Rigging is the more technical part of the work, and short course training is required, mostly on the job training that continues through your career as you work on different sites. The majority of that work is classed as ‘general skilled work’ such as installing cable on cable tray securely, installing (terminating) cable ends, some basic use of hand tools etc
New version Box or circle Optik , you know goods
Do you know if the 13xp Runva will fit in the genuine 76 bar? I have the Toyota mounting plate
Hey mate! Can’t be 100% sure as I’ve only got experience with the 11xp, although there is lots of room in the bar around the 11xp, so I’d say there’s a fair chance it would! I think it’s only the motor that’s bigger anyway on the 13, and the cable roller etc would all be generic size. The Warn winches look a LOT bigger than the Runva and they fit in there no probs too.
😊
Hoping I'm successful starting a traineeship next year January 2024 doing the same work 🤞🏽
Brilliant video, I installed mine today and your video was a huge help, cheers. 😊
Thanks for the feedback mate! Kindly appreciated, glad it helped!
Awesome vid. I'm thinking of applying for a telecom rigger traineeship in Sydney. Is there regular or plenty of work available once qualified or is it more like sporadic contracts you have to find yourself all over the country? Are you paid for travel to all these sites? Have you ever slipped or fell in the harness? I don't think I'm afraid of heights but i've never been 100m in the air so it's hard to guess haha
Hey mate great questions! I paid for a few of my tickets myself to get a foot in the door with a telecommunications rigging company, but once I was employed all of my training was covered. I didn’t do a traineeship, if you can go out and do your Dogman and Basic rigging ticket (pay yourself) then just start applying for rigging jobs, tell them you’re new and willing to learn; hopefully they’ll put you with a crew without having to do a traineeship because you’ll get paid way less and probably learn the same amount. So much work out there for private microwave links or mobile phone tower work. I started as a casual, and then landed a permanent full time job after about a year. Yes I travel to all my jobs in work time (paid to travel) including flying or driving. All expenses are paid with a daily ‘living away from home allowance’ to cover food and accommodation. I’ve never fallen, but yeah sure I’ve probably slipped a few times when it’s wet, but you have to be aware of your surroundings when you get up to height, it becomes second nature after a while. I’m not afraid of heights, but it has its moments, when it’s windy as hell, or the tower is thin and moves a lot it can feel sketchy, but you are employed to do a job, it just so happens the job is at a certain height; so once you get the climbing out of the way, you’re really just doing a normal job at height and you just focus on your task if that makes sense!
What’s the pay like for this kind of work (just looking for a wage range). I’m in Canada
Hey mate not sure about in Canada, but here in Australia it would range between $32-$55 per hour depending on experience and the job, all of the height allowances and high risk work conditions are build into the hourly rate.
Brad when i did maintenance on this tower i found missing bolts and had to check and photograph every single bolt on this tower lol its like 98 meter's i think.. I twin roped it. At least you get phone service at the top.. no Optus service at the bottom lol
100% good old Axicom days - this was an old iiNet install from like 2016! Maggea, out from Loxton, 93m, tall freestanding that’s for sure. Check out my ‘Tower Climbing’ vid on my channel Tim makes a feature in a couple of parts too. Was a great job! kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZayWlMxyea7FlZs.html
@@4wdAdventure will do man. I'm still doing AXICOM maintenance now indara so +200 sites. Hopefully give me a break from constant 5g VHA OPTUS upgrades every week lol
everyone needs to remember decibels are on a logarithmic scale so 5db would be a 50% drop in perceived loudness if not more
Thanks for the educational comment! It’s a massive drop, I found it made a huge difference. It was the best measurements I could take using a phone under similar circumstances from the multiple test drives. Would be good to have been able to measure it with a calibrated instrument
Unreal how easy he makes this look
Check out the other tower video on my channel
Is the job hard once your up there?
Good question - the job can be technical and exciting and yes sometimes very hard. We usually work in all weather conditions (except thunderstorms) and that includes different scenarios which can make the job harder once to get to the working height. Anything from hauling up and installing large microwave dishes or mounts and steelwork which is the rigging component; or aligning antennas to the receiving end, and terminating different types of coaxial/data/fibre cables in the technical part. It’s mostly all on the job training and you still have to be able to perform the task once you get to the working height. Best job I’ve ever had
@@4wdAdventure I appreciate the informative answer. I live in Canada, and sometimes it gets to -40 here with wind chill. What do you think?
Far out. That’s crazy. I’m in South Australia, with wind chill we’d be lucky to reach -5 with wind chill (unless you work in the alpine regions etc.) usually work in the 8*C/15*C in winter to 35*C/45*C temps in summer. Always a bit cooler up the tower with every 10m of elevation is increased wind factors
Hi mate where did you get the mounting bracket from please
Hey mate - directly from Toyota
still alive?
Still alive!
Hey mate love your videos. Currently waiting to land a job with a telco company. I just wanted to ask you if you are still in the industry and if so, do you still enjoy it?. Lastly is there room for growth and potential to earn higher income. I’m starting as a trainee rigger. Keep up the good worth mate 👍
Hey mate - Go for it! Hope you’re enjoying it so far. It’s a very competitive industry but with the right attitude and if you’re keen to learn there’s room for growth as a supervisor and then manager, or you can move into project management, the telco industry is pretty specialized so it’s also good to get experience on other crane/ construction jobs as a rigger. Telco is a very cool, but very small part of the rigging industry! Sorry for the late reply!
I see no RF antenna there bro, but many giant Microwave antennas.
Need link payment for this if possible plz
Search AutoStrada on eBay
Cool!
Awesome... 4x4xfar! 👍
Absolutely loved the video! I want to do tower work myself what certificates do I need to get started.
Thank you mate A Dogmans/ Basic Rigger’s ticket is a good place to start along with Work Safely at Heights - tower work is more industry based such as telecommunications and most of the training is job specific and you learn from others in your company if you can get a job. That’s in Australia anyway. Cheers
How long did you allow to do the trip from SA
We took 5 weeks; but we did long 1100km days and got up there in 3-4 days; so we could spend the most time in the warmer weather as possible!
Great in depth vid buddy. Has it altered the sound quality of the speakers? Sound waves need a solid surface to bounce off the get the full acoustics. It’s my only concern of putting it inside the door. I hear it’s better on the door panel to stop the sound wave penetration but speakers still push good sound out.
Hey mate, sorry about the late reply - I missed this comment! Interesting! Would definitely be an good thing to compare; I think it’s made the whole shell of the cruiser a lot more “deadened” but the improved listenability to music in general is GREAT; solely from having significantly less road noise inside the cab and not having to drown the road noise out by turning the stereo up. Can now actually hear the music a lot better without having to crank it up if that makes sense!
@@4wdAdventure it does. Thanks for the reply buddy.
Nice
Awesome stuff
Thanks bro
That is a lot of mud! I am surprised that 76 was able to make it through some of those super slick mud areas. Very nice!!! Thanks for sharing the great video with us!
Me too, super low tyre pressures I think was the key along with aggressive mud terrain tyres
@@4wdAdventure looked like a heck of a fun time!
Great to see what parts you had the best performance from. I will be doing his on my 1997 80 series soon. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks mate
what is the harness attachment that connects to the wire safety cable called ?
Hey mate it’s call a LadSaf - these are the 3M SALA LadSaf X3+ fall arrests to suit the LadSaf cable system. They’re great going up but can jam on the way down, but saves hooking on a massive ladder that’s for sure!
better hope ur on good money for that job , so it worth the life climbing up them towers
removing the interior exhaust noise would be the best part on my 70 series the exhaust was the most annoying part was so loud and droney
If you want to use a filter on HPD catch can you can do it. I use an oil filter element of a Toyota Camry (Part number: 04152-YZZA1) that has the same diameter of the catch can but need to cut it so the overall height to become 4.5cm, which is important to allow the gasses to circulate better in the can, otherwise it's too tall and might block the circulation). you also need to cut away 4-5 folds of the filter elements to make room for the dipstick to go in. After using this filter I could get more oil trapped in the can and also some of the oil that still goes through has been filtered so it has less hydrocarbon residue that goes to the intake side. Probably it can last 6 months per filter if you want to replace it with a new one but it can also be cleaned by brake cleaner and reuse. I have recently bought an oil filter element of a Toyota Corolla (14152-YZZA6) with smaller diameter but found out that it also needs to be cut as the height is still too much.
Awesome! Thanks!!!
I love it

Should leave the driving to the Mrs she has a better deal on the accelerator
wish usa had these vehicles
I wish we had a few of yours here too! Love the big trucks

Have you thought about removing the wheel arch liners and placing the mass insulation on the external wheel arches then replacing the liners - to reduce accoustic effect if you can stop the sound hitting the drum (metal skin) then it won't be transmitted into the vehicle. Basically place the accoustic liner between the noise and the skin of the vehicle....
Hey mate thanks for the comment - I didn’t think about that one! It’s one of those things that you could just keep going with, I am happy with the dampening effect that has been achieved so far. If I was building again I would do the whole firewall as well.
Question… how is the switch powered? It just connects to the transmission dongle and nothing else… is it battery powered? Or am I missing something?
It’s not something I’ve ever had to change, but would 100% be a battery in there, it should last years!
Where’s that snorkel from?
Hey mate, had it made by a company called CAM Fabrications - you can find their business on Facebook. Was around $750 + $100 for powdercoating + postage from memory
@@4wdAdventure Did you have cut any of the panels to fit it?
I had to slightly enlarge the hole where the original snorkel goes through the front panel, to fit the 4” pipe. But he supplied a template to mark out the cut. And the bolt holes all lined up with the factory brackets
One of the most accurate tests I've come across on KZread(even air-conditioning is off for accurate measurements😂). Very well put together video & enjoyed from start to finish.
Thanks for the message mate, thought it was worth a shot to try the comparison
Are the catalytic converters still there
The good thing about the Redback system is all of the pipe sections are changeable, so you can add or remove things like mufflers, resonators and cat converters for straight pipes etc depending on your requirements
Since Godzilla 400 to 500 ft tall that's how everything look 2 him
Haha never thought of it like that!!
@@4wdAdventure Lol 😂
good to see some raw footage
Just us enjoying the trip!
Can you still use the pedal assist ?
Sorry I’m not sure what you mean by pedal assist? What model do you have?
@@4wdAdventure i am talking about the sprint booster i got a 2022 71 series land cruiser i just got it in Saudi Arabia
@@4wdAdventure kinda like 2:03 where it adjust the throttle sensitivity like eco sport sport+ thank you
Sorry I’m not familiar with that - as long as the piggy-back plug is still connected through the pedal it should work.
