It's pretty cool...you boys along with a couple of channels have become a part of my Sunday morning routine chilling with a cuppa and my dog soaking up the sun....when you guys don't upload it kinda makes me feel out of place kinda like an addiction I guess....
Thanks mate!!
Go ahead and shout out the other channels, I love these blokes and I'm keen on anyone like them
Perfect timing for this episode as I really need to look over the front of my patrol and sort it’s death wobble before it gets to a dangerous level.
I bet Dan looks like his dad would have in the early 90’s
I have a series 2 Land Rover Discovery, told that the biggest tyre I could fit to the 16" stock alloy wheels without scraping would be a 225/70/16. Since that was shared with me I've fitted Old man emu springs, shocks and steering dampener. Replaced the ty rods etc as per your vlog I then went to another tyre shop and 265/75/16Lt were fitted with still no rubbing or problems its been great 15000kms it's like driving when it was new again. Great information you're sharing, oh the luxury of a hoist I can only dream
Cheers 🍻 Nathan for confirming my ‘bearing’ adjustment 🟰👍➕🔔
I have had a drive line U-joint break while going down the freeway. Before i could stop the CJ7 jeep, the drive beat holes in the floor board because it couldn't fall to the road due to the skid plate. I took off the broken driveshaft threw it into the back of the jeep and took off the front driveshaft and mounted it in the rear position and had a good two wheel drive jeep to get to my destination.
Informative video as usual guys
Good information I’m experiencing a wobble and started with wheel balancing to hubs,king pins,casters and I still have a wobble replaced just about everything in front end of a hzj 79r series ute i will now look at the tail shaft pretty hard to get a 4+4 experience mechanic these days thanks for the info
another good session on Aussie arvo. I have to agree that a lot of vibrations that most think is steering, comes from a bad or dry U-joint. being old truck driver ,u joints are the first thing I check for .a little grease does wonders.
Don’t forget ball joints, my one attached to the pitman arm clunked allot it gave me 1/4 steering wheel turn to get response scares tuff
cheers for the knowledge, my father owns a 2000 79 Series Landcruiser, has the death wobbles down bad, might go and see if it is the real issue
so true on the hilux lower control arms, have had to cut them off with a grinder at work
nice one. I'd love to see an additional masterclass on something with full independent suspension setups like the Pajero or even the new Patrols.
Thanks for this; really informative video
No worries, thanks for watching!
Thanks for the info
thanks, good video
great vid guys!
US Toyota TRD Pro 17" wheels have a +4 offset. I run 255/80 R17 tires on my 5thGen 4Runner, installed ARK mudflaps and have NO rubbing at all. YMMV.
Nathan is the only bloke around Lilydale that knows how to properly adjust upper arms on ifs utes 😅 so many other shops in the area are clueless.
great explains appreciate sharing
Great vid guys. There is lots of good info there to digest. And from a guy who sounds like he knows he stuff too. But can also put it into laymens terms. Keep up the good work on the channel.
It pained me to have to replace 5 year old tyres, that had only done 10k miles, but they were cracked. Deffo keep an eye on that!
GREAT INFO
Good one. 👍
Insane to meet you guys today!!! Time to settle in and watch the gold👌
Great meeting you too Jared!!
Can you please do a video on torsion bar ifs?
What spray would you use on the control arm pins so you don’t stuff the rubber up
It’s amazing how many people don’t know about the tyre age stamp The amount of times I’ve gone to a customers car and seen they have 10+ year old tyres is unbelievable
Another top video boys 🍻 Those Super-Pro & any other poly/nolathane bushes will be stuffed within a year if you start getting it offroad though. Without fail they will tear from repeated flexing. Rubber is the only thing that will last.
Bloody awesome 🤩,thanks very much🍺🍺🍺👍👍🇳🇿🇳🇿😊
Sway-bar links, they look nice but money is on them wearing loose. Top rubbers not compressed enough, need a little more. Very small bars, like, TINY. Swap tailshaft around, keep the slip-joint near transfer rather than diff, a little cleaner. Little less mass at the diff pinion.
What size and brand tyres are on the Hilux ?
Great camera work, Liam
Liam Neeson ?
No @@davidnobular9220Liam Nissan
Is it not illegal to put 33's on ifs vehicles with Stability Control?
Notice Nath call it a tie rod not a relay rode like mentioned in a previous Aussie Arvo episode
Torsion bars the best suspension you can get? Dan I need more on this please.
Second this! Would love a bit more detail about how it works and the benefits
Define best. There's always trade off's between different use cases.
Being a Navara owner myself, like Dan, he was making a 'Tongue in Cheek' comment about Torsion Bars being the best suspension.. it was mean't to be humour or mild sarcasim for the people who know the obvious truth .. functional but poor articulation.
@@Oz4me_craig I was wondering cause I have a 100 series also torsion bars…
I remember when i used to wonder if 33’s fit…. Kinda 😉😄 now im wondering if 44’s will fit 🤘😎🤘
That goatie makes me madder than it should
Question for Nathan: Are adjustable UCAs worth it (compared to castor corrected) or does the extra adjustment introduce to much extra complexity
Personally I prefer the solid uca's for 2-3inch lifted cars Stronger less moving parts but each has its place
If you can get it aligned properly after a lift then you all set. If they lack adjustment to get a good alignment then you need new UCA
I'm going to be that guy, what find are on Dan's gq, are they Mongrel??
I run 37s on my 2008 hilux
Gum boys less goooo
Luv ya work where can I send you a light can’t see anything but darkness JA
Dmax i thought had adjustable front bearings ???
It does up to 2021.
My upper control arms sit above the springs
If only someone made an offset spindle to move the ifs wheel forward
I had a couple of bad experiences with treadworx.
You need more light
You can run 35s on a N70 hilux a mates has it on his ute, but you NEED do it properly not half assed do you need 35s on your hilux ahahahaha fk no, its mainly been designed and bulit as a comprimise as a touring 4wd just like all other IFS utes, work during the week being a tradie and some cool tracks on the weekend
Not a diesel guy. 4.0V6 Hilux
Boff or both?
Cheers however the lighting made it hard to see
If u off road and don't want to get towed- roll under and get dirty!!! Your ticket to play- mates!!!
It looks like this guy just wants to show off his big guns.

Keep it standard and never worry about this bullshit.
First
Men drive live axle Women drive IFS
Come to USA or Canada and say that..... We run at least 35 inch tires, lockers, lifts, all the mods we want, tire poke all day long. Our Tacomas would kick the snot out of your hiluxs.
what kind of rims are being run on nates hilux?
