Found out same driving Kenworth winch trucks moving drilling rigs, both mud and flour fine dust that turns grease into tiny little balls that fall out of driveline can get you broke. We were greasing our driveline every 3 to 4 days to avoid those problems when working full time in those conditions. It helps push grit out of working parts too. Great video, cool 😎 classics!
A tip for grease with uni's and anything else that gets exposed to mud and lots of dust is change over a calcium based grease. It handles being exposed to crap much better than lithium based greases.
Thats kinda funny. About 4 years ago in that first rock slab just past that rock garden i was with 3 blokes (2 Jimnys, my patrol and a land rover) and the land rover blew its rear centre there. Was a 4 maybe 5 hour winch nut only 1 Jimny had a winch hahahaha
And this is why i am over bog whole tracks i was forever replacing parts on my 80 series because of the mud. That's why i built my dual cab for Touring and sold the 80 series.
Yep, you play in the mud, you pay in the mud. Can't tell me the off-set drive-line did not factor in accelerated wear on uni-caps. Ditch the Tojo transfer and go nissan to nissan.
Pay to play! Yeah its interesting, the uni definitely wasn't worn before the trip. I felt it myself, it went from zero to catastrophic failure so I figure it must be a grease issue?

@@beartiger1553 Yeh i love my GU coily ute Td42ti, denco & 16 & 18G turbo’s since i bought it new in 04 & never been let down. She’s only got 410k’s now but when it’s time the only other engine i would ever consider chuck’n in my ute would be the Toyota 1hdt-fte. Grouse engines & they haul ass. 6bt’s, Barra’s, M57, Ls yeh there ok. But i much more prefer the old tech Japanese 4.2ltr turbos. 6bt’s go hard & leave me in the dust but Td’s & Fte’s go plenty hard enough for me & Always get ya home safely.
@@beartiger1553 They only put them in a Patrol because Toyotas can't handle the power when modified. I build engines for a living and when a TD42 is done properly it is way more reliable, the biggest problem is the cowboys who over tune them.
@ I was being a smart $$$ when I wrote 1hdfte nothing wrong with a td united diesel out of Perth have solutions to keep them cool 6bt good engine but I like the 6.7 cr every one thinks there hard to wire when in fact can start them with 4 wires my gu coil cab ute is getting 6.7 4l80e maybe 48 re atlas Dana 60 front 14 bolt rear 4 link rear 3 link front (why a 6.7 cr can’t make big power with a p pump with out rolling Cole
@ I agree I’ve got a gu coil cab Ute that I’m putting a Cummins 6.7 cr in with 48re atlas Dana 80 rear Dana 60 front 3 link rear 4 link unsure of coil over length still in design Stage but I’m hoping for 800rwhp
Awesome vid Richo, You are my favourite RUclips and you've given me sooooooo many ideas for my 45 on a fully custom chassis. Thanks heaps.
Thanks Tobias! Appreciate it, good luck with the build.
Lawrrys Ute looks so incredibly dialed down the steps in comparison to all the others. 22:05 man has built something incredible.

12:45 "Can't park there" that guy was having none of it ha
Chris at Gibbos is a legend!!
Seen you guys on Moreton, just a convoy of the coolest 40s I’ve ever seen. Nearly spun my head off 🤣
Haha thanks Darcy! We had a good crew!
Looks awesome mate! Keen to get my 4x4 ready for some tracks !
Looking forward to it Jacko!
Tail shaft loop might be a good idea..
I didn't know they exsisted! I reckon you're right though.
cool to see a bunch of old cruisers doing some wheeling. 👌
Nothing better!
Hahaha not a lot of Toymota left other than the body
Awesome stuff keep it all
Cheers Mick!

Thanks mate, really appreciate that one. I'll get onto it.

That shit looked gnarly!
Cheers Steve, it was!
Amazing what a few patrol diffs and coil spring suspension technology can do to transform any basic vehicle.
Haha it certainly is!
Awesome mate, did you encounter some closed tracks in Lithgow?
We certainly did! Parts of it are slowly closing down unfortunately, such a shame - such a spectacular place!
And this is why i am over bog whole tracks i was forever replacing parts on my 80 series because of the mud. That's why i built my dual cab for Touring and sold the 80 series.
Haha completely fair... I am getting to that stage.
Its all for views and sponsorship, breaking shit is advertising
Mud, since ive steered clear of it my maintenance has gone down ten fold.
Smart move 🙃
1:50 looks like your door is missing lol
Haha true that!

Wouldn’t have to clean your serpentine setup it it was the mighty TD42 😉
Yeah because it would be dead in the shed 🤣
@ 🤣
5 good thing: TB48
Haha oo yep them as well!

@DesignedandBuilt 🤣
🎉
Thanks Mitch!
Anyone see the happy faced cloud 10:58
Good spot!
😎
😄
A GQ on 35s does that alot easier
Surpised the GQ gets out of the shed especially if it has one of those 4.2's 🤣
Awesome to able to jack it off. Nice
Yes it is 🤣🤣🤣
😢
Yeah got no interest in doing the $1000 track Just not worth the hassle and maintenance mud causes
Haha completely fair!
You don't need to put Toyota parts in a Patrol to make it reliable.
@DieselAddiction yeah 1hdfte

Its always parts failure or some excuse, but in reality its operator error.
Yep my fault 100% as I acknowledged in the video, definitely learnt from this mistake which is what it’s about!
