Quarter chop td42 injectors injector install chassis bracing clearance wheels lift tyres build how to diy cut chop replace full build rock crawler overlander camping
watching this gets me motivated to get cracking on the shorty
Some weld through primer would be good on the panels
Man the TD engines has such a nostalgic sound for me, my dad (rip) used to drive an 1990 D21 with the NA TD27 and man I got such good memoried with that truck, right now is sitting in our warehouse waiting for new cylinder head
10 years adventure corp will be doing weld in chassis with all the rust that will be happening under their DIY products
Gday, congratulations on number 2, I hope Mum and bubs are all well, the quarter chop is heaps easier with the pre cut plates, top job mate, cheers
Thanks mate!! Oh god, I’ll never do another chop again without the plates 😆😆
Congratulations on baby 2 GQ is going to be awesome
Thanks mate!!
Make it a Sleeper weekender patrol from the outside look close to stock with no bar work, but go all out with Big wheels and suspensions but others keep it quiet from the outside and loud exhaust ❤ love Roam Lyfe
Not a bad idea hahaha!
Hi from the UK... Love watching you do your stuff...
Thanks so much mate!
When are u putting a roof rack on the gu patrol? vid for it, maybe a custom made one?
what a weapon! patrol goes pretty good too! love the cinematics!
I’m gonna have to start doing my hair before I film if I get more comments like this 😆😆 Thanks guys, been repping the shirt everywhere 🫶
Great video like always, keep it up 👍💪
Rome it's coming along nicely man. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Congratulations on the new kid.
Thanks a lot mate!
Congrats to you and the Mrs on the safe arrival of apprentice number 2 ! I figure it was about time
Thanks mate! Two little helpers Yeww 🤘
Keen to take it wheeling bro! Single cab vs wagon
Sounds good bro!!
The quality of the shots and editing where elite
Thanks mate!!
Congratulations on the 2nd mate! I’ve got two boys 4 and 7 and as much as they can be a pain I wouldn’t change it for the world 😎 keep up the good work man love the builds 👌🏼
That’s awesome, I’m really enjoying being a dad hey! I’m assuming it gets a lot harder but the good out ways the bad! 🤘
I pick up my patrol next week, this is only making me more excited. Really nice work man and congrats on the second boy, I have two boys myself and it's the best. I know the fam keeps you busy but we really appreciate the time you put into these vids, look forward to the next one.
Yeww, go the patrol! You’ll love it when you get it 🤘 And thanks mate, very busy at the moment but I love making content so I’m keen to knuckle down again!
@@RoamLyfe i see you got the torque specs right,, on the 1940,s engine.. go look up specs on an mwm sprint. 4.2tdi.. mine has 700nm.. 97 - 07. still built in brazil, under german licence.. there a german tractor engine. fitted to s/duty & silverado.. had mine 7 yrs, no probs.. 260 ks. 01 s/duty. aus.. just bought a nissan,,so my nightmares begin,,eh..i just dont like toyotas.
@@RoamLyfe ???????????.. you dont get new seals,?????????? what sort of rip off is that,, fuck,, there a dollar for 100.. never use old seals, gaskets, ect..
@@RoamLyfe waaaaat,, yu need to do,,is piss off that tow bar. put a decent rhs, between the chassis under the doors, weld thru a hitch reciever. like i do..front & rear, for winches.. your lowest point is,, the tow bar..
@@RoamLyfe shoulda used weldable primer, front & back.. welding, do 1/2 to 1'' welds every 6'' to 1', stagger weldes, like torque ing a head.. then weld back to the previous weld not away from it, stops warping..
Your killing it man, grand to see how far you have come 👍🏼
Thanks Coops!! 🫶🫶🫶
perfect timing
what are your setting for Mig welding sheet metal?
Congratulations on number 2 mate 👏 👍🎉
Thanks bro!!
🔥
Just have a question man if your putting a tube rear bar on a series 4 gu do you have to do the rear quarter chop
Goodwork! cool to see! 🛻😎🤙📹
This will be an awesome build 💙👍🏽
It’s got me excited that’s for sure!
Hope u swapped out old washers with new injectors
keens as for more videos congrats on number 2!
Thanks mate!
how did you do the pump adjust bit??
Loving the vids. What crack pressure injectors did you go? Think 100psi is standard
Tbh mate I have no idea, I just called Desta auto for them and he sorted it out 😆
@@RoamLyfe thanks man. I was doing some reading. Many shops up them to 130psi. Need to advance the pump a smidge to compensate. Maybe that’s why you had to wind yours forward a little. Apparently better fuel atomisation and efficiency. Keen for the build!
just a tip! when ever welding a plate or metal on metal, make sure to clean/prep and paint the under surface with a weld through primer , that bare metal that's now exposed under the metal is prone to potential rusting even if fully welded, its good practice! other then that, its looking good!
I actually have been looking for some weld through for ages!! Do you think the sikkaflex will help if I fully seal it?
@@RoamLyfe Definitely seal it but the main issue is condensation behind the plate which is bound to happen with temperature changes then rust will set in I have seen it on a few cars
Weld through primer is a must
Yeah I would, sikkaflex will get into all the weld crevices to help seal it the best it can, just make sure you apply and press it in over the welds
@@RoamLyfesearch Weld #2 Upol weld through primer I’m a panel beater and that’s all we use good stuff
Congratulations on number 2. I love the chassis braces but the A cut in to it i would be welding up. I am worried water will get in behind it and not get out with the rest being welded up. Keep it up
I’m gonna smear sikka inside the A to stop exactly that! I’ll smooth it off so you can see it etill
Do you have to brace the inside of the chassis as-well? or is the outside sufficient enough, been looking into doing mine at some stage!
Oh my last Ute I did the inside as well, I think it’s worth doing on a rusty looking chassis but if your chassis is in good condition I’d say just the outer would be enough!
Just wondering about the welding, are you supposed to fully weld or leave a gap to allow flex
You’re supposed to fully weld as it stops the dirt sitting being the plate, alternatively you could weld sections and seam seal the rest!
hey i ordered a sticker over a week ago still hasn’t been shipped just wondering when that will happen ?
Hey mate sorry we have been flat out, your sticker is on the way if you havnt already gotten it!
Hell yeah man
Not another bloody Patrol!
I feel I’ve been waiting forever for another ep
Sorta mate! I’ve just had a lot on but will be getting back into the swing of things now!
Hell yeah
finally doing some stuff to it yewww
So keen to get started!
One more Q, what pump advance are you running? Thanks mate
Another one! Haha I actually jsut winged it dude, till it sounded good, could Probly use someone that knows that they are doing with it 😆
Love it man! Cowboy spec
Love the vide mate 👌
Thanks legend!
When are you getting more merch in?
Hey bro, I got a new design just trying to sort the shirts out, might have to do a pre order again! 🤘
ill take it thanks haha
😆😆😆
Looking at buying the same injectors from desta can find them?
If you call them they can supply them! They don’t list them on the website!
Desta doesn’t even have any TD42 injectors on there site. Does anyone know where I can get them from?
Call Desta auto and he will sort them for you
Just say you watched my video, and also ask for washer kit for them!
Hey mate love the vids!!! Can you tell me what a 10-15k 4wd I should be looking at? I want to start out but not go crazy on one
Hey bro! I’d honestly Probly look at a cheap patrol! Or go a RC Colorado !
@@RoamLyfe cheers, but what would you say they’d have to meet? Like kms wise?
@@user-fh5so6rw4e it’s a hard one, 200ish is a good aiming point, try for a rd28 patrol maybe too
@@RoamLyfe cheers mate keep up the good stuff keen to see where this patrol ends up
1fz 80, 400k kms is bugger all can find them in much better condition than nearly all gqs
Yew love ya content bro
Hey mate, just went to put through an order through desta using your code and it doesnt seem to be working as of right now, just thought I'd let you know. I'll be trying a few times in the next couple days for sure
Hey mate try and give them a ring and make sure it’s in all caps !
@@RoamLyfe ah okay the caps might be the problem. Whenever I enter in caps it defaults to lowercase after entering it. I’ll let Desta know
Tb on 🔝
what do you do for work
I fix pressure cleaners mate!
@@RoamLyfe pretty good on the tools and I like to watch Australian people but there's not many channels so you are a go to
do a 4.8 swap😒
That would actually be sick!
love a good td but 4.8 gq would be something the viewers would love @@RoamLyfe
First
😆
