I've recently discovered that ARB's compressor (I have no lockers but the compressor) has proprietary fittings. I now have to carry a 2nd portable compressor until I work out how to connect indsutry fittings to the ARB compressor hose.
@@JafffaAdventures They do it with their bars too so you can only fit their IPF lights. As stated earlier, we use all ARB exclusively however not their lights. We use German Hella and Lightforce. Neither of which fit properly.
Good idea having the list. I have my hoses and belts buried in the side panels above the jack in my 80 series. I would add Viscous fan hub oil available from Toyota and a couple of Bolts for the suspension arms/links if your going remote. Great information well done.
MadMatt 4WD great feedback Matt, thanks for taking the time out of your day to review for me. Viscous fan hub oil, fantastic idea mate, thanks for that!!
Enjoyed your trackless Simpson series. Have now watched this video twice; the 1st time made me go out to the garage and take stock of what I carry. Now making a list to compare. I run a Hilux and you carrying a CV has me thinking !! Informative video. Keep up the good work. Cheers..
4BnewB thanks for the feedback mate. The reason I cut this video was to get other travellers thinking about this kind of stuff, so you made my day, thank you!! I cannot comment specifically on the strength of the Hilux CV, but If you break one and do not have a spare another option is to cut the shaft (assuming you carry an angle grinder or the like) and limp back to civilisation. If you have a locker fitted, at least you will have three wheel drive. On the subject of tools, I have another vid in post production now detailing the tools I carry. Should be released this Friday all going to plan, if you are subscribed you are all good. Enjoy your travels and keep the shiny side up!
Excellent and well organized and definitely will make you more comfortable during your adventure. Oh, by the way how can I get the electronic Toyota repair manual for the LC200 you mentioned, I need. Can you share a link if possible?
G'day Terry nice video very helpfull. You are just about ready to be the support car in the Dakar Rally event! Would you be able to list Toyota part numbers in the description for us? Thanks
Thanks Max, I appreciate your comments and kind words. I would much rather compete in Dakar rather than play support, I I get your point mate😉. Next time I pull the spares box out of the car (which is not often), I’ll grab the part numbers. Cheers😎👍
Thank you for this video. I have a question- you mentioned having lockers on your LC200. I was wondering if you used them much on your recent Simpson trip? Would the factory LSD have gotten you though? Also- I would add an amp-clamp, especially if you experience alternator problems.
I do indeed have lockers on my 200, both front and rear. The other cars on the recent Simmo trip had lockers as well, the 100 Series had front and rear, the Petrol GQ had rear and the GU had front. Each of us had them pretty much permanently engaged while we were off track. During the times that we did not (e.g. forgot to engage of a morning after too many beers the night before), we would certainly get bogged more often. A second shot at the track with them engaged got us over every single time. I am certain that you could do it without lockers (it just may take more runs at a greater velocity, or trying a different line), but having them was sooo much easier on the cars and our mental health! Then again, maybe we are just crap drivers and need all the help we can get (but I doubt it!). Thanks for the advice on amp clamp, appreciate it. I will have a video of the tools I carry ready to publish later this week as well. You may find that interesting. Again, thanks for your comments, keep the shinny side up mate!
Hi Terry interesting video on Spares :) you mentioned having and taking a Haynes Manual I checked out their website and certainly cheap but the state the manual is Not Printed and Not Downloadable but can be seen online which is great in the city may I ask where you got yours from as I think it is a great idea .... Mike
MIKE Barnes I picked mine up on eBay. I just checked and there are heaps there, around 60 bucks including postage. Just search “Haynes 200 Series”. Cheers
Hey Terry, great video as always and good starting point. Is it a matter of available space that you only carry a single 5 litre oil can? I think you say you do your 5k services out on the road, so do you take extra in those situations, so the 5 litre container is only for your Spares box? 👍
Thanks Andrew, and yes you are spot on. I carry 5 litres from a space availability perspective and it is only a spare. If I know a service is coming up shortly, I’ll buy 10 litres on the road and carry it until I need it and not touch the emergency 5 lites in my spares box. Cheers👍😎
Yep. Vehicle specific tools & parts are important.
Indeed mate😎👍

Yes, there is that…😬

Any chance I could grab the stairs list with part numbers ?
Sorry mate, don't have any more information to hand than what is in the video. Go well.
