#build #4x4 #offroad
The Big GU Patrol has been going awesome since we completed the engine conversion but as most builds go there is some left over stuff sitting around in the shed! So todays episode is about installing all these left over parts getting the GU one step further to completion!

Film the shed transformation too would love to see it
1000 percent! It’s already started! 🤘
Love your work man! I’ve just finished my 4J conversion recently on my 03 GU wagon and just clocked over 4000ks .. couldn’t be happier with the conversion!
How good does it feel! It’s the perfect all rounder for a conversion!
That's so cool, I only just found your channel but you're actually local to me going on the roads that I saw in the vid, maybe I'll see your rig driving around 🤙 if you need any yard work done I've just recently started up a yard maintenance business so hit me up!
Good progress. Thanks for the content. Cheers
Thanks mate!
As per usual, ya smashed it out of the park, great work. Those headlights are awesome. Project I'm waiting for is your attempt to do gull wings on the GU with rear air. I've not been able to find a supplier, (all do non rear air con models) but appears EmuWing now do them, need to confirm once they answer the phone. Love the GU, awesome, Wealie.
Yo thanks mate!! Yes I’m still contemplating that one, I think I can make it work tho 🤘🤘
@@RoamLyfe just for the benefit of anyone following this, I can confirm as if now (2023) Emu Wing have developed rear passenger side gull wing panel for GU's with rear A/C. I still lose my original inbuilt glass radio antennas, so need to sort that as well if I'm to proceed. Note: Emu Wing use 4mm aluminium in their panels.
It sounds so good on boost
Great video you should install some roof insulation in the shed
Great video mate!
I installed front and rear super flex sway bars and it didn’t limit flex at all. 3” lift, long arms, 12inch shocks. And made it sooo much nicer on the road.
I’m so suprised how much of a difference they make hey, it’s back to driving like stock 👏👏
Awesome video!
Looking bloody sharp mate , loved the journey with this build , Lotta work gone in and kudos to ya mate epic👌🤙
Thanks legend! Means a lot 🫶🫶
Some boy mate. I love watching your vids, keep up the good work 👍
Love your vids mate, they make me happy 😊!

Thanks legend!! Keen as to film some more content! 🤘
@@RoamLyfe aye your welcome 🤟🤟
Very Nice 👍 I would prefer a black grille
Saw you on the highway yesterday was in the fg in front of you when you entered from morayfild
The wipers ahaha that’s so true!! I was changing mine the other day out front and looked like I had no idea 😂😂
Car looks so sick man 🤘🏽
Thanks bro!!
Film the shed transformation! Be sick to watch
Awesome video mate! Id love to get those headlights, but taking my bull bar off to get my bt50 head lights out would suck balls lol, im not that mechanically advanced lol
Nice work mate.
Thank you legend!!
Are you going to do towing mirrors on it?
what was the trans and adaptor to the transfer case that you used with the engine please as am looking to do a conversion on a y61my self to travel

hey man i got question why did ya swap the old bar from this bar
Good episode mate, cheers
Thanks again Matty! Cheers for always commenting 🫶
How bright are the headlights/high beam compared to standard headlight
Love your work, and the channel mate. Gets me inspired. Just want to point out though, every time I hear your Yank pronunciation of 'chassis' I wanna throw a jar of vegemite at you.
Nice work. Any details for ya mate who does the ac lines lol. Need mine done on the zd to get rear up and running again. Currently running only front with td and rd28 lines 😂.
Message Aussie 4j adaptors and ask for mike
@@RoamLyfe thanks mate. 👌
Im interested in your old lights
Don't understand why Superior won't engineerr 35s on Landcruisers too!
The biggest question I have to ask is why the 4jj1 ? A lot of people who have either converted or just straight out said that 3ltr motors aren't enough for these rigs have either Barra swapped, LS1 Swapped or TD42 swapped cause they all say 3ltrs aren't enough for the car (I own a RC Collie that's been tuned with ECUSHOP gear and love it) Honestly just curious as to why the 4J instead of a TD or LS
there’s a few reason, the 4j has amazing aftermarket support from Thailand and all the products are super cheap and well tested! It’s much cheaper to get 300hp out of a 4j than it is to get 220 out of a td, also the cost of the motor itself at about 5k for a used one! Ls is cheap too, barra somewhat aswell but they don’t have the torque like a diesel and the fuel economy! Most 4wds are geared to suit a diesel and when you add a petrol that revs to 7k really then you need crawler gears and what not so it’s an extra cost! The 3lt sounds small but trust me it pulls the patrol very well! I’ve owned two td42s and it works much better than both of them, I’d say it’s to do with the efficiency of the motor, it would make a lot more torque per cylinder than a td42 factory. It’s really each to their own with conversions but petrols sounds good, drinks to much fuel for me tho! I’m getting great lph while having a awesome sound and enough power to drive/pull anything! 🤘🫶
@@RoamLyfe 4J the world I say haha cheers for the info mate
@@RoamLyfe What economy are you getting? Just recieved my injectors with +30s from Desta with your code. Absolute bargain as they were already on sale, plus it comes with $300 worth of fitting kit.
How are you legend,,,man thats a sick patrol,,,,,well done,,,one question is it worth getting a front diff locker
Thanks mate! Yes 10000% for the locker, it’s the best upgrade I’ve done! Well worth it 🤘
@@RoamLyfe thanks mate I appreciate it
Still weird seeing you driving around our area lol
Hey you've installed the sway bar disconnect wrong.... the stud goes in the sway bar and the disconnect parts goes into the sway bar links
Ahh okay, cheers bro!! Thanks for looking out!
No worries mate 👌 if you look up photos of it installed should be the disconnect part going into the sway bar link
All these modifications to the vehicle how much did it cost you in money and if you brought you a vehicle you can work on it for the same purposes that you did on your vehicle
The big girl is looking awesome
Thanks mate!!
love you Roam Lyfe I love the car
Love ya too bruh 🤘🤘
Can you give us another shed video
👍
👌👌
geezz that's mega wankery right there
Very serious question! What’s your economy like? Into it and best case. I’m deciding between a Barra and a 4J. TIA😊
