A tip for your 270 Degree Awning, using 3-4 velcro straps, you can mount an adjustable pole on the arms of your awning. That way, you always have it handy when needed and it's neatly packed away when not.
@@krump743 Why don't you visit the website of the manufacturers of these "Free Standing Awnings" and find out what they consider as windy conditions. They all have a different interpretation.
Tyler u can always install an emu wing to give u ease of access to the rear wen the doors r open n the tables down. use the left side so its under the 270 awning. they r water n dust proof wen installed properly. just a suggestion mate. keep up the DIYs mate, ur killin it.
Best place I found for the Fire Extinguisher's is on the floor just infront of the front seats. I have a pair of 1KG dry-chems sitting in brackets there, no issues with them and very easy to access when needed.
Love your work Tyler and having your Mrs involved in the build will give her some pride when your out there on the tracks... She can say I helped build this unit Great job so far mate.
I was just about to say "too bad you got the drifta owning, the howling moon is much better" but then you said it's 16kg, and I remember the howling moon being much more than that! cool mods. Same with the tyre pressure, they run for 40bucks on ebay they're literally the same, it's all made in china anyway. Cool barndoor table. I can't wait to see all the rest of the mods. Thanks for putting all these videos together! Much appreciated!
Fire extinguisher can be mounted to the passenger seat front bolts the bracket is available somewhere. And is an easy reach for driver or front passenger
Hi mate - I bought the exact same vehicle a year ago, I bought Sand grabber mats, and the department of interior roof console - can highly recommend both.
Good clip bud 👍 the other thing that are great with dash mats is they MASSIVELY cut down that vinyl haze on your windscreen - that fog like haze from the gasses coming out of the vinyl on the dashboard when they get got and it sticks to your windscreen like fog and forever needs cleaning off. I always put a dash mat in, people say looks like an old mans car but I don’t care, it’s practical and that’s all that matters 😉👍 the MSA dash organisers are great too, picked up a brand new one on FB marketplace for $20 😁👍 thanks for sharing bud.
Great modding Tyler well done! Thanks for including prices. Goes to show how bloody expensive it can be for 4WDrivers to keep on improving their rigs. It never ends!
Could'nt agree more. I dont have a 4WD and the cost for the lifestyle is a bit off putting. Seeing all the costs is an eye opener for me, top stuff Tyler that centre console install looked like a royal pain in the arse 😅
I have a kao stand alone rear roof shelf for my gu. Thing is fantastic, also is a great spot to mount the fire extinguisher on the back. Easy to get to and can't get covered with anything.
Few ideas for those switch holes - usb charging ports (can never have too many especially with kids) - switch for extra interior led lighting Great vid, mate.
I recommend you purchase and fit lsd diff shims. You'll need a dial indicator though to measure the backlash. If you load it heavy on trips, heavy duty rear swaybar really helped both on road and offroad predictability.
I love the Drift awning and I'm not a fan of awnings so its refreshing to see a good review and description of it. The problem is that while it can be done with one person which is great, I have lots of issues so guess I can't do it 😆.
Just a thought I think how you mounted the trax on the roof rack you should use bolts with full thread to the head of the bolt 🔩 so when you go to use all at once on a hill or bog hole the bolts won't slide around in the rails of the rack.....chuck a washer and nut there and lock them in the 1 spot...👌
Mount the fire extinguisher on the left hand floor below front passenger seat bracket. And as you open your drifter zip bag flip it over on the roof and the arms will come out easier.
Hi Tyler, always good fun adding extras to a 4x4. Great job doing it yourself. (mostly) I would put the seat pocket thingo on the back of the passenger seat, just easier to access by the side of the road. You can sometimes reach things while sitting in the drivers seat. Just a choice thing. That console is fantastic. The standard cup holders are way too small in most cars I have owned. Great video as always. all the best regards Peter.
Hey Tyler. I had screw on tyre monitoring system, different brand, but same idea. Travelling around OZ they rubbed up against the rims and really cut into them. Eventually got rid of them. Check to see if/how they’ll rub when you’re travelling at speed. Thinks it’s the inertia pulling the extra weight on the valve stem out towards the rim ✌️
Good point. I would be more concerned about theft. I can't count how many valve caps that are constantly getting stolen off my daily and my truck. Seems like once a month I'm replacing a full set on both vehicles.
Love the mods mate. All practical stuff. Love the barn door table. I wish I could have one of those but my rear door is a hatch style. That 270 awning also looks great! Top vid mate👍
Amazing!!! You are a clever bugger. With I little tinkering & then a whole new looking interior. I never believe anything takes 5mins. I allow an hour then take 2 hrs haha. Truely like the awning. I’d have one,…if I had a 4WD 🚙 cheers 🐨
Cap industries for your fire extinguisher bracket bro. Should work perfect with your extinguisher you have. Mounts on passenger side seat rails. Check it out.
take a look at the Fire Stryker fire extinguishers, think ARB are only dealer, they will work for 1 and half minutes not 8-10 secs like the "standard" one you have, which isn't much time to do anything. they are expensive, but will outlast powder units....highly recommended.
Great video again. I have the same tyre pressure monitor on my Patrol. I was told to use the lock nut as they can loosen. They have been fantastic though.
yeah the awning, seat covers, organizer, tyre pressure, tred pros, centre console are all stupidly overpriced and insanely unnecessary though, you could do all of this for 1K EASY
I fabricated a bracket for my fire extinguisher in my Pajero, from a piece of sheet metal from Bunnings, and attached it to the front two mounting bolts of the passenger seat.
good work mate have fun doing your mods mate you learn about thimgs when you do it yourself i have a np 300 to mate got some mods coming up soon hope to go to fraser island late next year keep up the good work on the vids an the gu love watching your shows
Hi Tyler. With the tyre monitor system you didn't mention if they had lock nuts as i have used a couple of brands and they have the lock nuts So did yours have them as its a pain when off road to remove them ?
under passenger seat it's out of the way but also very quick access to it if you ever need it, there's a company, i think its called cap industries, and they make brackets for the passenger seat to you can keep your extinguisher close to hand
I really like these longer videos you make :) You can easilly cut it into 3x10+ minutes to get more content/money but you dont do that :) I like it... this isn't content for these super short attention span kids :))

Great to see you having a crack at most of the mods yourself. The awning looks unreal! I love how it doesn't need the legs

Good tip. 👍
@@krump743 It is recommended to peg it down in windy conditions (just like all other free standing awnings in the market).

just barn door back table costed me diy $60 from bunnings )) same as functional and served me 5 yrs so far and counting)) well done mate on mods!
Gees, dude, you've just advertised whole lot, i loved this central console replacement, will do same for my 4.8!
Well done. Lots of satisfaction written all over your face. Rigis really taking shape visually.

yep! cheers mate
Good job on the new centre console, you won’t be disappointed! One of the best things I did to my patrol.
Yep super happy with it!
Awesome mods you did, all made the car so much better. The table and center consol are 👌🏽
Cheers mate!
You’ll love the “Snow” switch on the auto. Makes the throttle much less sharp and great for low range Rocky work as well
Legend, looks great. Can’t wait to see the new feet! 🇳🇿
"Get your bits out and start swinging it around", lol, thats awesome...

Thanks mate! Yep 4wding mods aren't cheap but you definitely can get cheaper stuff to get you out there
Fire extinguisher u can get mounts that blot to the passenger seat rail. Mats u can get something like sand grabber. Hope it helps
I have a kao stand alone rear roof shelf for my gu. Thing is fantastic, also is a great spot to mount the fire extinguisher on the back. Easy to get to and can't get covered with anything.
Kap industries make extinguisher brackets for the front seats 👍
Ill second that mate. As that was going to be my comment
Cheers mate!
I'll vote for Kap Industries as well.
Loving the Patrol build! Can't wait to see you wheel it on some harder tracks, so capable
Few ideas for those switch holes
- usb charging ports (can never have too many especially with kids)
- switch for extra interior led lighting
Great vid, mate.
Thanks for the tips!
HER car is looking good. :)

"grab all ya bits out swing em round" hahaha good one
Looking good. Incidentally, you must be the only 4WD RUclipsr with a 7-seater wagon who actually intends to leave all 7 seats in it.

Glad to see it all coming together mate.And that you are doing it your self.Under your old man’s guidance lol.
Its coming together nicely Tyler. I'm enjoying watching your build. Cheers Jim
Cheers mate 👌
There’s an easy install to make the passenger side rear barn door open more. Alex from ‘intents’ has a video on it.
Yep planning on doing that 👌
Great work Tyler. Sand grabba mats are great, had them in a patrol previously. Worked well.
Cheers mate!

Have a look at the “Bedrock” floor mats. Unreal quality and easy to clean

Bro from the black nav to white, now a GU , really love your channel , hopefully we wheel together One day ,
Cheers mate!

Thanks mate, appreciate it!
You can get brackets to mount the extinguisher to the front bolts of you passenger seat, easily accessible for driver and passenger
Looking good mate. I think if you spray painted the plastic surround trim where gear lever is to match, it'll be shmick.
Look into the maxtrac floor Mats, I’m not sure if they have gu patrol but happy with mine for my car
Amazing!!! You are a clever bugger. With I little tinkering & then a whole new looking interior. I never believe anything takes 5mins. I allow an hour then take 2 hrs haha. Truely like the awning. I’d have one,…if I had a 4WD 🚙 cheers 🐨
It’s coming along great TT and each mod I can look as for my GU too Center consol looks great might be my next one I thinks
Looking sweet mate. You’ll be forgetting you own a Nav once you have finished that build!
For your fire extinguisher. Mount it on the floor of the front passenger. Easy to reach and some brackets bolt up to the seat rails
Cap industries for your fire extinguisher bracket bro. Should work perfect with your extinguisher you have. Mounts on passenger side seat rails. Check it out.
I would look at Bedrook liners for the floor. They are made specific for each vehicle and fit perfectly.
Good job mate. Coming along nicely.

Haha love the bloopers tyle , awesome vid tc mate :)
well done TT ... mods make the difference for sure .. i love the look of the awning
Love that awning, great video!
Thanks mate!
Rubber home front door mats for floor mats from Bunnings have a look bud . Fit mine great
Great video again. I have the same tyre pressure monitor on my Patrol. I was told to use the lock nut as they can loosen. They have been fantastic though.
Nice Tyler
Another great video stay safe Cheers
Thanks, you too!
I cannot find where you got your barndoor table are you able to put in a link for it please ?
platypusoffroad.com.au
@@TylerThompson90 thank you so much for the link and also I really enjoy your videos and have helped me alot
One of the best mods I did for my GU3 was the Horizontal Touring Products rear battery shelf / box
hey mate where did u get the thing on top of your roof to deflect the air above your roof rack.. it's sick I want one 😍
Center console upgrade looks great. Wish i had thought of that when i had mine haha
Great vid mate. Good to see the build. I got one of those icheck tpms and its awesome.
Awesome mods it’s starting to look really good on the patrol now
Coming along nicely mate. Cheers Steve
Dash mats are fabulous idea. Plastic modern dash’s emit a chemical that makes the windscreen look foggy and is a mongrel to keep clean.
Far out it's crazy how fast the cost adds up, but very tasteful mods well done. This is gonna be a very nice looking rig at the end 👌👍👍
yeah the awning, seat covers, organizer, tyre pressure, tred pros, centre console are all stupidly overpriced and insanely unnecessary though, you could do all of this for 1K EASY
Great one mate 👍
Wish I knew about these centre consoles for the GU, looks smik
I fabricated a bracket for my fire extinguisher in my Pajero, from a piece of sheet metal from Bunnings, and attached it to the front two mounting bolts of the passenger seat.
Hi Tyler, use Quick fist rubber mounts for your fire extinguisher.very good product’s.
CAP industries do custom brackets off the front seats for the GU’s.
KAP Industries
Definitely KAP industries bracket, have in 105
You can buy a bracket specially designed for your 4wd model that users your front seat bolts to fix a fire extinguisher to I have one in my D23
Well done mate. Looks great 😀😀😀
@Tyler - what was the weight of the old console? You mentioned the weight of the new one but i missed the weight of what you removed.
loving the build, those sheepskin covers may have not been good ones, good quality sheepskin covers are not scratchy, or hot.
I know right? I think real sheepskin is great. Adds padded comfort as well.

Great work mate giving it a go yourself and showing other people how to do it and not lol
I really like that Horizon centre console... So much better than the original hey. The mods are looking great. !!👍👍
Yep, we like it. Cheers!
At the front passenger seat front there is a bracket U can get
Hi Tyler. With the tyre monitor system you didn't mention if they had lock nuts as i have used a couple of brands and they have the lock nuts So did yours have them as its a pain when off road to remove them ?
i went with kapp industries fire extinguisher bracket can bolt into passenger or drivers seat!
Hi Tyler, can you provide a link to the mob that supplied the rear barn door table? I'm Having trouble locating them.
Don't think he makes them anymore sorry mate, website seems to be gone
Great video.

Yes, that's the place to put the fire extinguisher. Mine is also mounted in front of the passenger seat rails. You can grab it within 2 seconds.

Thanks mate!
I had 3 fire extinguishers in my GU, one in front of passenger front seat , one on cargo barrier and the other in rear cargo area
Hey Tyler, great video, was wondering which brackets you used from front runner for the awning and did they need to be modified at all to fit?
great job with your mods Tyler well done mate 👍✌
Another great video mate. Have a look at the Bedrock floor mats they are awsome vehicle specific mats.
Looking sweet mate looking forward to seeing more for sure 👍 🏴
Looking good 👍🏼
Use a hair dryer or heat gun to remove the stick shift
Out of curiosity, wouldn't it better to set the roof rack mounts closer to the a, b, c pillar for weight dispersion and support ?
The problem is you have to match the mounts up with the slats and space them out accordingly to that, so hard to do it any other way
Hey team,great vid.Thanks..😎
Glad you enjoyed it
