Hey mate, what does SSM mean?
Second Stage Manufacture so technically on paper my ute is a superior engineering hilux and not a Toyota hilux
What offset are these?
Offset of these wheels are +10
Nice work. The only thing I would had done differently is I would have covered the bare aluminium of the mounting plates with something that would insulate the wires from ground. I realise that it is paranoid but I figure on the off chance that a positive wire loosens and moves if it touches the mounting plate, it won’t short the battery. I have the same battery myself in a Landcruiser with the same dcdc charger BTW and love it.
I'm no battery expert but would the Internal BMS of the battery prevent a short?
@@AdventureN Yes. As in, the BMS should cut power if the current draw or heat goes too high but I hate to rely on it. Certainly in my set up I’ve preceded on the basis that it really is the very last line of defence. I accept that I am probably very cautious. The thing is though, in a 4WD there is plenty of vibration which can loosen bolts and let insulation rub through so I just like as many failsafes as possible. As I said, it is a very neat job.
Well, those look horrendous, but - to each his own 👍
What would you have put on then?
How many quarts
I want to do the roof of my camper but not sure how it will bound to the roof now.
What offset are you running?
These rims are +12 I think they come in a negative offsets now but double check on ROH’s website
How do you remove the seat belt trim. I habe everything off but cant work out you you took the plastic trim from the front and rear seat belt assembly.
if it's the area I'm thinking about, it's just clipped in. if you have a trim removal tool you should be able to get behind it and pry it part. As they are held together by trim clips
Not worth all the time, effort and materials when you can get it professionally done with a warranty for around $300
Where the hell are you getting a spray in bed liner for $300? The local crackhead?
Use auto motive sikaflex, some silicones can eat into paint work
Roll-on is where its at. Just ask project farm
Gonna do this in June on my 95 tacoma
Get it done professionally trust me
Excellent! I also set myself up for June to line my entire F-150 although I pushed the start until today. Will be done with the paint project by July 4th
@@JayGBee let me pull 400 bucks out of my asshole.
@@sostrongineedmoreofyourmon974 nice bruv. I haven’t gotten to it but I will very soon
What psi do you recommend for this. I see the instructions say 50-60. I just want to know what you use. Look great by the way.
It kind of depends on what texture you desire. The higher the psi you will tend to get finer/flatter texture whereas with the lower range you tend to get a rougher/chunkier texture. Today, I sprayed my vehicle plastic trims at 55 psi (with the raptor shutz gun) and got a decently rough texture which is what I was going for. I plan on doing the same for the entire bed tomorrow, but when I raptor the exterior of my truck I know I’m going to go for 70 psi (depending on what my test sprays give me at that setting that day)
Nice work! How many bottles did you use?
The kit came with 4, I used 3. 2 got a coat on everything but the third I went extra thick on the base of the tub
@@AdventureNthanks for the reply! I’m about to coat my bumpers with raptor. Great video. 🤙
Wash the bed with Dawn let it dry. Wire wheel on a grinder (buy 2), staying away from edges. Sand as you would by your hard line. I apply Primer sealer first.
Great tips!
@@AdventureNyou as well. Good on you for doing it yourself. The factory jobs aren’t even sanded before they do this, and you did a much better prep job than line-X.
Defo primer indeed
Hey how was the fox suspension planning to buy one on my n70
hey mate, the fox is still going strong! 11/10 rate it for the n70
Dont waste your time on this shyt in 20 years its going to look like azz and to restore it its a fukn pain
I certainly won't have this tub for 20 years, that's for sure!
Does your coil conversion have to be pre rego to fit? What’s the process and cost?
A coil conversion can be done, pre rego or post rego. The GVM upgrade with superior has to be done Pre-Rego as it's a SSM (second stage manufacture) The progress was purchase a new vehicle from a stealership, get it sent to superior, they do install and work + paperwork. The vehicle gets sent back to the dealership where you pick it up ready to go
Doesn't it rub off with minimal use ?
no it doesn't, it's a very durable tuff coating
How is the noise, and if you did not do the sound insulation, can you comment on how noisy that platform would be?
no wind noise at all. I just did the deadening and insultation whilst I was there. I can tell you from experience the insulation does help on those hot summer days
How is the noise, and if you did not do the sound insulation, can you comment on how noisy that platform would be?
i am curious like you mate, i hope he answers :)

You crushed that. Definitely not fun but so worth it.
thanks mate! no it isn't a small fun job, but definitely rewarding!
What sprayer are you using?
The new AS/NZS3001 Regulations are not applicable to inside vehicles as they are not classed as habitable areas. Thankyou for your detailed video!
I was going to say....there are more and more people doing behind seat installs now!
I'm about to paint a whole ass RV with it. I'm nervous
How did it go? Wanting do a van
@boocatdog it went really well, it has a very modern look, and is an easy fix to an ugly vehicle
By chance are you on meth?
I wish you did a tutorial just for dropping the roof liner lol. Going to install this roof rack soon but dropping the roof liner is by far the hardest part. Even at 0.25 speed I have no idea what's going on. Is there any manual online that I can use for this? I can't find any. Otherwise great video though.
Its pretty simple but fidly Remove all the grab handles and the plastic trims from pillar between the front and rear seats. Trim from the A pillars Remove the roof console etc and then slowly remove / drop the lining down You will have to bend it bit to fully remove it form the cab, I’d suggest removing the front seats to make your life much easier
@@AdventureN cheers mate.
Nice install mate, does it conform to the new battery regs? I think it needs to be in a sealed box and vented to the outside as it's in a habitatable space.
I’m not aware of the battery regulations where could I find them?
@@AdventureN custom lithium should have advised you.. renogy has it on there website.. it's todo with caravans and having batteries in habitibal spaces. They need to be in a sealed box which is vented to the outside. So I'm guessing yours would be the same as you're in the drivers seat
Mate do you know what the actual fox part numbers are
I honestly could not tell you! It's all a kit that is assembled by phatbars
@@AdventureN ah right yeah thought as much, sadly phatbars doesnt send to my part of the world
Mate, How did you remove the door handle sticking to the door pillar?
There is a little window that you pry open to get to the 10 or 12mm bolts
Yeah, can you get away with taking the sides down only of the roof liner? Would it be enough to get to the nuts. I have the same rack to install.
Ooooohhh you could bend the liner. But you could leave a crease in the liner if you bend it too much. Unfortunately with these sorts of installs you gotta take the longer route and proper route. As I said might as well sound deaden and insulate the roof whilst it was down. Lets us know how you go if you do end up getting it done without dropping the entire liner
@AdventureN thanks I'll take the liner completely out..
Hey mate, great video! Just wondering if they provide a template for where you drill through the gutter? If not, how do you work out where to drill? Cheers 🍻
Hey mate, they don't provide you with a template. However they do provide you with the measurements for the holes to drill the gutter
Aaaaaaaaand that's why Ranger Raptor got the 2.5" fox..
How nany cans do you recommend the kit with four cans, i have a 5.8. Short bed from chevy silverado.
The thicker the better, this kit was 4 and I any used 3 from memory. Our Ute tub / beds over here in Australia are much smaller so I’d say 4
Toff
Great video mate any tips how u manage to remove the roof lining, cheers
By disssemblying the entire interior of the ute, took a while, but you can see it in greater detail in the full length video!
With the price of this stuff it’s not worth doing it yourself you can get bullet liner done for 550
Whilst this is a fair comment, its more fun and having that personal satisfaction of doing a DIY project. The ability to put your hands on your hips and amire your handy work is something else in my honest opinion 😃
How big of a compressor do you need
To be honest I'd have no idea, something that can do a consistent 50 PSI. I guess the bigger the holding tank the better!
Cheers for this video, been stuck on the rear fox shocks while installing as the metal inner tube that they come with are the wrong diameter to mount… I didn’t realise you were meant to remove that
haha don't worry I ran into the same issue off camera!
Roughly what was the total amount of time it took from prep to spray the second coat?
oooo good question....I really didn't make a mental note of it. Prep certainly took the longest. Spraying the easiest. Id say about 4-5hrs for prep. Then 2hrs for spray. All a gestimation
@@AdventureN woah, you went hard on the prerp. Thanks for the info
preperation is the key to any paint job, plus I didn't want to get any paint on the new car!@@bensmith9175
I have a question for you in the 4x4 sector and I would like to know if you can tell me if it is true that the ironman nitro gas shock absorbers go well with the original series set-up and can they be adapted with the +5? I have a Suzuki jimny 4x4 with m13a 1.3 l petrol engine with standard shock absorbers and calibrations, yesterday afternoon I picked up the new ironman nitro gas shock absorbers and the 4x4 spare parts dealer in Florence told me that these ironman nitro gas shock absorbers are ok for off-road 4x4 with suspension standard or in a second you could put the springs higher and it becomes a +5 high setting is it true? Greetings from Florence Italy!
Hey there, I can't comment on the Ironman suspension as I personally don't have a first hand experience with them. However I have seen a few jimny's over here in Australia with Ironman suspension installed. I'd suggest going to a Jimny owners group on facebook
@@AdventureN thanks greetings frome florence italy
@adventuren how streaky did it come out?
no streaks at all, just have to overlap your sprays abit
My 2nd gen is a 6ft bed. Do you think I could get away with 2 cans???
I think it would be possible. but would be a very light coats
do you make 2nd layer after the first one dries out
yes about 30mins dry time between the first and second layer
Anyone upgraded the brake master cylinder?
'promosm' 😅
Is it make more noise than factory tyres?
any aftermarket tyre will make more noies then the factory tyres. These mud tyres I was a bit worried, but honestly, they do humm a bit, but they are actually comparable to the all terrains (mickey thompson atz) I had on my old rig
Hey mate great video👍🏼 How did u go wiring the dabs antenna? Didn't see any footage of you doing this?
Great pick up, to be honest and from memory I didn't wire it up as I personally don't listen to the radio and stream all my music / podcasts off my phone.
Why ntot match thr rotors with dba pads. The dba extrems pad with them rotors are the best
Whilst yes, it's best to match brand for brand, this particular combo from my research was used by several other guys in the forums/facebook groups. Maybe for the new rig, I'll do something similar, match brand for brand, and make another video!
@@AdventureN I run them rotors with the DBA extrems pads bet set up Ive had.
2 years on how do u recommend the dba t3s? And howd the pads go with them
100% will still reccommend these. No Issues with them at all....Pads are still working just great. I've had to hit the anchors a couple of times hard and pulled up really quick. Only thing is they do produce a bit more brake dust, but if you are cleaning your rig regularly it shouldn't be an issue at all!
