    Love your Fortuner. Moving to Oz next year and was really set on buying one. I reckon it’s the closest thing I can get to my 4Runner here in the States. Have been reading some things about a big problem with the DPF on the Toyota 2.8. Have you had any issues?

    • @HappyGoTravel
      @HappyGoTravel  5 лет назад +3

      Thanks mate. I love the 4runner front end, if we had them in oz i think that's what id get. i personally haven't had any issues with DPF, but i have definitely seen some problems with them though.

    • @steveroberts6118
      @steveroberts6118 5 лет назад +2

      2019 Fortuners have a manual burn switch for the DPF so you won,t have a problem. May also be fitted to 2018, not sure?

  • @steveroberts6118
    @steveroberts6118 5 лет назад +1

    Nice truck! Test drove Prado & Fortuner back to back & preferred the Fortuner, 200kg lighter & a larger boot. Can you do another vid showing what you need to do to fit 33’s. The front suspension’s same across hilux/prado/fortuner so there’s plenty of options there, but the rear is completely different? Is it possible to fit longer springs/shocks sway bar links & adjustable panhard rod to increase rear flex?

    • @HappyGoTravel
      @HappyGoTravel  5 лет назад

      Steve Roberts that is in the pipeline it’s pretty much just a vid of me and the angle grinder going to town 🤣
      The front is like every IFS 4wd around, diff drop, UCA’s and long struts will do the trick for big lifting.
      As for the rear it’s a little strange with coil seat on the trailing arm opposed to being over diff.

    Hey mate, how do you rate the angled rock sliders for standing n to load the roof rack. Looking at getting a set but can't decide on angled or straight

    • @HappyGoTravel
      @HappyGoTravel  4 года назад

      Now ive had them for a few years, id get flat ones next time. i love the look of angled but id definitly get the gaps covered between the bars, iv had sticks flick up and get caught and jammed and do damage. flat ones with step treads would be the go.
      Standing on them is ok, if you are loading and unloading the roof every day id say go straight. I find i normally step on to the back tyre .

    • @HappyGoTravel
      @HappyGoTravel  4 года назад +1

      Sunny Singh thanks mate, the gear I used was around 1400 and I fit it myself. Depending on what suspension you wanted you could get supply and install from around $1500 to thousands. It all depends on what you want, then if you want to go higher than 2” you should start looking at things like UCAs & diff drop.

      Winch wise this is just a classic example of the times I’ve needed my winch. I’ve underestimated a challenge and put my self between a rock and a hard place.
