Hi you pair, absolutely noticed the rear bar straight up, it's lovely and totally suits your rig. Keelan, there's a lot of negativity here regarding the tune. My two bobs worth (old terminology from an old guy). Where to start. I drive a 2016 GU Y61 ZD30 CRC Patrol. I previously had the V8 D4D cruiser, we didn't like it, hence the Patrol, we prefer it. From purchase I had a Federal compliant GVM upgrade, as I knew the factory 430kg payload wouldn't cut it, so much for manufacturers caring about end users, nearly every GU & Cruiser in the country would be overweight with all passengers seats occupied & 2 fuel tanks full, so disregard comments about "if the manufacturer doesn't do it, it can't be worth doing". Now back to the tune. Like you, once I put my storage system in place, RTT on vehicle, it was struggling, especially with van in tow & once I fitted a EGT gauge the figures were scary, hit 700 degrees easily, that's concerning to say the least. Resolution, investigate tunes. I noted all gave significant power/torque increases, talk of lower EGT's but that being my main issue I was focused on lowering EGT, not power. I followed the recommendation of a chap whom had a tune done by ECPT, central coast NSW. These guys tune many vehicles but they specialise in ZD30, both DI & CRC. Concerningly, the initial dyno run revealed poor torque/power & very high EGT's, but it was all down to vehicles weight. After the tune, Wow. My EGT's dropped significantly, engine temps much more stable, (fluctuate less) & torque in abundance, now locks up and just drives. With van in tow we can now remain under 550° on inclines, (previously unheard of) and I'm so impressed. Heat is the killer of any engine, I needed to address the issue and ECPT achieved it. Keelan, if you're EGT's are lower, you drive accordingly to keep them low, you shouldn't have any issues. Yes, there are failures after tunes, BUT that is a result of people utilising all that power gains without any consideration to mechanical sympathy. Drive accordingly and you'll be right. So envious of your lifestyle, but keep me envious please, keep it up. Of course, you do realise any mechanical issues you have from now on will be blamed on the tune. Ignore those whom are not totally informed, that listen to hearsay and treat it as factual, you're ahead of them. Keep trucking 👍
thanks for the comment and the info mate!! To be honest, people not agreeing with what we do or don't do to our car isn't new haha I love proving people wrong, I love the stories that are like, my brothers girlfriend read on Facebook that there car blew up because of a tune haha thanks mate, we will keep a close eye on the EGT, we havnt had them over 450 yet unless it was doing a dpf burn so pretty happy with that! cheers again for the comment and support means a lot
@@SarahandKeelanTravels keep the easy going attitude up young fella, cause you do realise if you ever report having a puncture, it'll been caused by the extra torque flexing the tyre casing causing a weakened casing allowing the "grass stalk" to penetrate through. Hahaha 😆🤣. Sorry, couldn't help myself!!! 🤞Fingers crossed for you buddy.
Great to see you guys back🙌🏻 The guys at ultimate diesel have done a great job and the results speak for themselves 🙌🏻 Safe travels and can’t wait to see the new van 😁 Next Friday is locked in 🙌🏻
Be careful with the tune. Don’t get me wrong the tune improves power massively - but with more power comes more heat. I’ve had them ( same mob ) do the tune ( no complains - it’s awesome but!). When towing nearly 3 ton in summer, particularly up hills, caused the engine temp to rise dramatically. After two years I am reluctantly either detuning or returning to stock tune. I’ve realised after two years that there is a price to pay for performance and it’s not money - it’s heat. You’ll love the power but 1000klms of driving in summer and you’ll see what I’m saying. Having said that, I love Ultimate Diesel and they do amazing work - but it just doesn’t suit when I’m heading up the range, in summer, towing a 3 ton van.
Agree 100% it amazes me that some of us older folk manage to tow vans in our stock 2016 Colorado 7 and see a lot of the country without tunes, new exhausts, air boxes etc. Feels like I am missing something?
They aren’t a renowned company. They are snake oil salesmen pure and simple and unfortunately these naive youngsters have bought it hook line and sinker. I did too once upon a time. Guess what this “well known company” destroyed my brand new car after six years of ownership and four years with a tune in the vehicle. Spun bearing ended up resulting in engine failure. Caused by the “custom” dyno tune. Which turns out was bought by UDT from a tuner in Sydney, how did I find this out, I ended up moving to sydney and went to a Mitsubishi specialist who told me they sold UDT my tune file which was in my car… Anyway if you want to go down this path your choice, but I never will again. It cost me a perfectly working car. Because yes the car made more power but suddenly I didn’t need to drop a gear to go up a hill. Tuner never told me that. Ended up spinning a bearing as a result. If the cars were supposed to have this much power, they’d have it from factory. My oh my, how did we survive in the old days.
@@Jason9110110 agree this is the danger with you tube influencers. I know I will sound old and boring but experience does count and don't please don't get your advice from influencers. Nothing against these guys there young and having a go and good luck but like others I used to follow I out.....to much selling! And yes I would support via Patreon but you still get selling. All the best with your new rig and I am sure what will be your new van soon.
Well said. What car company wants to have a vehicle with less KW and NM than the competitors. None! Why don't they turn up the wick and destroy their competitors? Because they have to warrant everything for 5 years more in some cases. Short term hard on for long term pain. Will the tuner fix the dead engine or driveline in four years time? Ask them before they turn up the wick.
ultimate diesel (Geebung QLD) are awesome. Got the same tune completed a month ago on our 2017 Isuzu Mux for towing 3000kgs before 93kw & 455.3 Nm after 133.4kw & 620.4nm Nm the car is a rocket still using the ultimate 9 throttle controller Fuel is 15 litre per 100kms towing of road Get up the great work with the vids
That's a big improvement, I like the new rear bar too. When I first saw the rear bar at the start I thought I missed a episode but then it all became clear lol 🤩
Sarah and Keelan, you two have done an awesome job on that cruiser. Can't wait to see the new van. Keelan, you hit the nail on the head regarding the EGR, it absolutely has to be done. Great vid champions
Great to have you both back on line. Loved the explanations, shared cautions and surprised on the 35% gain. Hope to hear more from Sarah in 2023, I love her ‘tell it as it is’ view point too.
Love the rear bar, I’ve been looking at them. Your building a beast here mate, well done Weight makes no difference to power, your wheels and tyres are what has robbed the power Don’t get hung up on the power numbers, 35% is a fantastic gain👍 22/100 is good, I’m doing 18+ with the camper trailer
Don’t listen to the people advising against tunes. Most important thing is get tune from someone who’s knowledgeable and more importantly, keep fuel system in good condition, monitor injectors readings closely, secondary fuel filter and definitely additives, I use commonrail diesel additive and decarboniser additive and my 200 runs better at 98,000 than when I bought it at 50,000, they really lubricate and clean injectors and the decarboniser keeps tops of pistons clean of heat absorbing carbon and also stops it from forming around injector tips.
Almost the same as the remap on my Colorado, i ended up with 138.8 kw and 495 NM at the wheels… Can certainly feel the difference and no initial take off lag.. Well done guys.! Pre remap it made 115.7 kw and 425 nm on the dyno after 22600 km.
Merry Christmas and happy new year guys. Hope you had a great break. Loving everything you are doing to Leroy and I can't wait for the travel videos to make a return soon. Can't wait to see the whole new set up next week. 100k subs by the end of 2023, I'm calling it now!!
Merry Christmas Josh!! Hope you had a epic break with your fam! Thanks for the support mate can’t wait to get back on the road!! That would be bloody epic! Heaps of work to do! Thanks mate see you in 15 minutes for a video
Took My Isuzu MUX to these guys couple years ago now, they turned it into a very different driver, especially with the 17 ft van on the back. Would recommend these UDT guys to anyone considering a correct tune
Gday, absolutely awesome to hear your supporting the Aussie made products again, the rear bar does look good, I’m keen to hear your thoughts on the tune after a few months, have a great weekend mate, cheers
Keelan I need to do a bit of work with you mate… 😊 Never use ‘ cheap or cheapest’ it is the most cost effective solution with quality Aussie build ! ✅✅✅👌👌👌 Good work champ - looking the part and Cannot wait for the off road excitement - new van next!
You definitely got a proper tune with those numbers. Air fuel ratio would be in that sweet spot. Mine lighter so I got a bit more . Mine stock was from memory 112kw and now 148kw. I'm around 650NM but was in high 400s stock from memory. I maybe a bit off on stock numbers. A mate got 178kw on his 2014 pre dpf 200. NM is the most important and you done well. You guys put out great content. I'm looking at a kaymar rear bar but for what they are they're blood dear.
thanks mate!! we specified we wanted a very safe tune not pushing the limits and specified what we do which is tow and im really happy with those numbers!! if we weren't towing you could go a bit harder I reckon!! go the cruiser company mate they are awesome and way cheaper!!
Wow. You're certainly giving Leroy the treatment. It looks great guys. Looking forward to your performance review in six months after having it tickled up with the dyno Looking forward to seeing your new van too along with travel episodes for 2023 Love following you around Oz. 😀
Thanks for the kind comment Dave!! Leroy is finished! Brake upgrades are going to happen but that’s about it!! Thanks for watching, commenting and supporting us mate! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
The vid showed you driving out from Paradise Valley - we were there over New Year - such an awesome place. Maybe we'll run into you on the tracks somewhere.
Would highly recommend taking it somewhere else to get tune verified, Horsepower factory, SEDS in Pakenham, not sure if that company is under same management, a friends 200 melted a piston with a remap from there, cost 18 k for factory crate engine to replace it
Couldn’t agree more. My MN triton ended up with a spun bearing as a result of there “custom” tune which was actually a tune made by MRT performance in Sydney, which is also now defunct and then sold to UDT in Brisbane who “custom” tuned my car. Because the car made great power you could suddenly go up hills in top gear. Which being young at the time I didn’t realise is bad for the car and puts greater strain on the bearings and everything else. Guess what, after four years and only 120,000k’s the bearing gave out and the engine failed. Ended up getting asked to fork out 15k for a new engine or get rid of the car. I chose to get rid of it. Worst experience of my life. Stay away from these snake oil salesmen. They are the former diesel tuning arm of Mercury Motorsport, same company same tricks. Only thing is now we al drive diesels and 4x4 once upon a time it was skylines. Guess what they are still blowing up peoples cars. Stay away!!!
I think that it’s a case of only ever hearing about the bad cases. These guys tune more 200s than anyone else and I’ve heard a lot of happy customers opinions
@@Jason9110110 we have nothing to do with Mercury mate, two completely different companies. Don't always believe what you read on the Internet. Also, tuning does not spin bearings, oil starvation does.
The same place tuned my 200 landcruiser mainly for towing our 3.5 ton caravan and they pushed the turbo boost to high and destroyed both my turbos at 100000 klm and i am a 67 year old guy who doesn't over do things and that is the tune they recomended for me.
Hi Mike. Ok that's interesting. We have tuned in excess of 1000 LC 200s & have not heard of this issue, we do not push boost too high. If this has happened then ot was most likely a mechanical failure causing a boost spike, not the tune.
Hi Guys Just wondering what convinced you the chemical soot clean was safe for your engine. I've been trying to decide what to do with my 200, the manual or chemical clean. As usual there are very strong opinions both ways and trying to cut through the BS is difficult.
Hey Keelan & Sarah, HNY, looking forward to following your travels in 2023. Keelan, what’s the brand of gauge you’re using for your EGT, Trans Temps etc? Thnx Rob
You will use more fuel, create more heat, and cause heaps more carcinogenic black diesel fumes. Your motor and running gear will have a shorter life as well. A chipped or a retuned diesel will also require more often EGR maintenance.
Hey Peter. Ok so generally economy is improved. This is because the driver is not having to put their foot down as much anymore in order to get the vehicle to move. The engine & gearbox will definitely not have shorter lives either - we custom tune the ECUs within the factory safety parameters set by the manufacturer, so its safe. This vehicle is equipped with DPFs, so no black smoke. And, no more EGR maintenance is required after tuning. Just thought I'd clear those up for you. Cheers.
Weighed it full of fuel and me and Sarah and it’s around 3.5t, ball weight of the new van is light because it’s a rear door, so we are just scraping in the legalities
I would off liked to see the dyno results with stock wheels and tyres Vs the ones you have on, 22 lt per 100 km = 4.5 km per litre or 6 MPG in old school money that's medium to heavy truck territory all the extra strain on the car components can't help with long term reliability
unfortunately we don't have the budget to keep things we take off the car, every part that came off eg.. tyres went straight on marketplace to fund the next mods. would of been interesting though! 22L per hundred towing a caravan is good mate, most 79s get 15-20L not towing and most y62 patrols go a lot higher again. we are very happy with the results.
@@andytee5677 You are right I bit out of practice with MPG been metric since 1971 my TOYOTA does Hilux does 8.5 lt per 100 km so they burning three times as much
Hey Julie, Great question, We havnt jumped the que nor have we taken anyone’s position in the line. We are Urbans brand ambassadors and are allocated one build slot every year whether we use it or not. We have had this slot booked in for well over 18 months 🙂
love your videos and watching where you go. With all those extras not on the Toyota has the payload gone over its limit. They dont have a great payload to start with so it must be over once you are both in the car now.
thanks Stephen! we weigh 3.5t fully loaded full of fuel with 4 surfboards, drawers full of tools and spares, fridge full of beers and both in the car. we are trying to cut that down to 3.45t as we speak. our new van full loaded is 3.2tish with a light ball weight because its a rear door dual axel.
@@SarahandKeelanTravels great. As im now no longer driving I’m living my travels to videos like your being able to see what I wanted to see. Australia. Thanks guys and take care..
Awesome build guys. They’re an awesome vehicle. I want one too but I have to wait a few more years. 🫤 We still have the same old 97 fuel guzzling petrol 80 series we’ve had for 21 years. It’s never broken down. Just an alcoholic and overweight 😂 GVM upgraded 👍
thanks John! nothing wrong with the 80 mate! my old boy had one for years, it survived all me and siblings learning to drive in it! they are arguably the best cruiser made!! if you can park it you can park anything haha
I missed the professional hosting of 4wd camping videos. No one does as good as Keelan & Sarah on cam. What's your favorite part of the car? I love that rear bar. The whole Leroy package is 1st class.
no it won't. Most of the vehicles that we custom dyno tune are still under new car warranty. And we tune on average 50 per week across our 3 workshops and our dealer network, whom we do the dyno tuning remotely for.
Was only just looking an hour ago for an episode, figured it should have been time for you two to make an apperance again. So what, ya mean putting 98 octane in instead of 91 is not a tuning upgrade
Thanks for your loyalty mate means a lot to us, Had a couple weeks off just to refresh! We hate plugging gear and brands all the time so we thought it would be good to have a couple weeks off and enjoy Christmas
Haha all good Shaun! , luckily for us we got ours replaced under warranty by the previous owner 20,000km before we bought it! All of Toyotas have the issue, Prado D4d, hilux, cruisers!
3.5t with me and Sarah, full of fuel, full drawers, fridge full of beers. Currently trying to shave it down to 3.45t that would be our magic number! Might have to get rid of a surfboard 😂😂
99kw and 370nm at the wheels is pathetic. My steinbauer equipped 6cly turbo 79 ute puts out 120kw and 580nm at the wheels. It also put out MORE than your 200 series before the chip, yet as standard it is nearly 80kw less at the engine. That 200 has so much driveline loss, like 50 percent.
I don’t think you really realise the numbers. The car weighs 3.5t on 34” tyres. What does your Ute weigh? Plus it’s a 4 wheel dyno and a all wheel drive car. 79 is rear wheel drive. If we disconnected the drive shaft we would be roughly 750nm - 850nm on a 2 wheel dyno and more like 185-200kw.
@@SarahandKeelanTravels I know but the 99kw is what it was getting to the ground. Thats 50 percent loss from engine kw output. I understand why you had to tune it because it wouldn't pull very good without it. I regularly tow 3.45 tonnes with my ute. I am not being critical of you just the 200 series. Do the big tyres benefits outweigh the power loss?
Hi there. Steinbauer chips are generic - meaning they are a 1 chip suits all "solution". What we provide is far superior to one of those & will achieve for you much better results. You are also comparing a totally different engine & vehicle to this 200 Series.
Are you going off Toyotas numbers? Is that where this 50% loss comes from? If so Toyotas 200kw and 600nm is recoded at the fly wheel not at the wheels. The 200 pulled well before we tuned it and would of done the job fine, I dare say the 200 before we tuned it would of made the same numbers as your tuned 79 if we disconnected the drive shaft on the 2 wheel dyno. That’s why every second car towing a van is a 200 and 90% of them arnt tuned or upgraded at all, they are the ultimate tow vehicles Just as a benchmark and for you to understand, My good mate has the same 6 cyl turbo EFI 79 highly tuned and making better numbers than yours and we put it against the 200 and we beat it. Yes 100% tyre size eats into your power, I think comparing a 2 wheel drive light Ute to a 3.5t all wheel drive wagon is like comparing an apple to a watermelon
@@SarahandKeelanTravels exactly it lost 50 percent from flywheel to the wheels. Mostly because of driveline loss and the larger wheels. My comment was about the massive loss that you now wanted to rectify. I tow things for a living. The 200 isn't a good tow vehicle for 3.5 tonnes without upgrades because it has very little payload left after the 350kg ball weight is added, 370kg actually. That has to include the bullbar, towbar, passengers and other accessories. Granted it is better than a Y62 in this regard. They all need upgrades to realistically tow 3.5 tonnes to be legal. I was just commenting on how bad the original dyno result was. You pay for the AWD and big wheels in reduced pulling power. Everything is a compromise. Looking forward to your adventures. I have also used your itechworld discount code, thanks.

thanks Matty! we try our best supporting Aussie as much as we can! will do mate thanks for the comment and the support
the 200 looks great Keelan , the rear bar looks awesome
thanks Rolly, appreciate it mate
Leroy is looking good, Happy New Year guys !!!
Thanks Jeff!! Happy new year mate 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Keelan I need to do a bit of work with you mate… 😊
Never use ‘ cheap or cheapest’ it is the most cost effective solution with quality Aussie build ! ✅✅✅👌👌👌
Good work champ - looking the part and Cannot wait for the off road excitement - new van next!
haha 100% right mate! poor choice of words!
do you want a job as our advisor haha cheers mate cant wait to show ya~!
You definitely got a proper tune with those numbers. Air fuel ratio would be in that sweet spot. Mine lighter so I got a bit more . Mine stock was from memory 112kw and now 148kw.
I'm around 650NM but was in high 400s stock from memory. I maybe a bit off on stock numbers.
A mate got 178kw on his 2014 pre dpf 200. NM is the most important and you done well.
You guys put out great content.
I'm looking at a kaymar rear bar but for what they are they're blood dear.
thanks mate!! we specified we wanted a very safe tune not pushing the limits and specified what we do which is tow and im really happy with those numbers!!
if we weren't towing you could go a bit harder I reckon!! go the cruiser company mate they are awesome and way cheaper!!
Wow. You're certainly giving Leroy the treatment. It looks great guys.
Looking forward to your performance review in six months after having it tickled up with the dyno
Looking forward to seeing your new van too along with travel episodes for 2023 Love following you around Oz. 😀
Thanks for the kind comment Dave!! Leroy is finished! Brake upgrades are going to happen but that’s about it!!
Thanks for watching, commenting and supporting us mate! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Nicely done guys. Great content. Ur really getting the hang of being on screen mate. Lovely darts!
thanks Andrew! appreciate the support mate
a lot of good information there .good one guys
Thanks bill! Appreciate it mate 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
love that rear bar guys super tough 💪
Cheers Brendan we agree mate 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Good to see you back 👍🏻
Thanks legend!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Great content guys. Love it. Love the 200.
Do you guys have a complete list or rig run down of all the mods you have done to the car
Hey Matt, got a heap of these sort of videos building it, going to do a rig run down very soon!! Thanks mate appreciate the comment
The vid showed you driving out from Paradise Valley - we were there over New Year - such an awesome place. Maybe we'll run into you on the tracks somewhere.
wicked spot mate we are living it out here!! for sure mate look forward to it
Would highly recommend taking it somewhere else to get tune verified, Horsepower factory, SEDS in Pakenham, not sure if that company is under same management, a friends 200 melted a piston with a remap from there, cost 18 k for factory crate engine to replace it
Couldn’t agree more. My MN triton ended up with a spun bearing as a result of there “custom” tune which was actually a tune made by MRT performance in Sydney, which is also now defunct and then sold to UDT in Brisbane who “custom” tuned my car. Because the car made great power you could suddenly go up hills in top gear. Which being young at the time I didn’t realise is bad for the car and puts greater strain on the bearings and everything else. Guess what, after four years and only 120,000k’s the bearing gave out and the engine failed.
Ended up getting asked to fork out 15k for a new engine or get rid of the car. I chose to get rid of it.
Worst experience of my life. Stay away from these snake oil salesmen.
They are the former diesel tuning arm of Mercury Motorsport, same company same tricks. Only thing is now we al drive diesels and 4x4 once upon a time it was skylines. Guess what they are still blowing up peoples cars. Stay away!!!
I think that it’s a case of only ever hearing about the bad cases. These guys tune more 200s than anyone else and I’ve heard a lot of happy customers opinions
@@SarahandKeelanTravels happy days,
@@Jason9110110 we have nothing to do with Mercury mate, two completely different companies. Don't always believe what you read on the Internet. Also, tuning does not spin bearings, oil starvation does.
For that to happen, sounds like injector failure. Which is unfortunately common with all common rail turbo diesel engines, tuned or not.
Looking good. I can’t make my mind up whether a tune is a good thing or not. I’m just not convinced
Looking forward to seeing the new van
Thanks mate! We are loving the tune! Sneak peak video on the van is up in 10 minutes
Love the build i am looking at the same rear bar did you move the reverse camera or does it come with a mount for one i can see the parking sensors
The same place tuned my 200 landcruiser mainly for towing our 3.5 ton caravan and they pushed the turbo boost to high and destroyed both my turbos at 100000 klm and i am a 67 year old guy who doesn't over do things and that is the tune they recomended for me.
That’s no good mate!! Hope you got it all sorted out!
Hi Mike. Ok that's interesting. We have tuned in excess of 1000 LC 200s & have not heard of this issue, we do not push boost too high. If this has happened then ot was most likely a mechanical failure causing a boost spike, not the tune.
There pretty good numbers at the wheels.
Very happy with the result! Heaps of power!!
Worst sunnies in Australia award.
You win. Haha
I’ll wear that badge with honour mate.. Thankyou 😂
hey keelan, when you told ultimate diesel what your needs are, did you tell them your total van weight fully loaded or is 3200 your Tare weight?
great episode guys ...very informative ... and Leeroy is lookin very swish .... keep up the great work
thanks Macka! hope your getting better mate!
Sounds and looks great but 22l/100km !!! Sounds a lot to me! Averaged 12 on a recent trip towing with the MU-X
It’s a twin turbo v8 mate that weighs 3.5t hahah
You don’t buy a v8 to save fuel that’s for sure!! 12L sounds awesome haha
Can you open the bsck of the cruiser with the caravan hooked up with the swing away spare wheel mounted on the new rear bar?
yeah easy!! worked out well! turning circle full lock the spare tyre on the car misses the van stone guard by bees D!C% which was a fluke!
@@SarahandKeelanTravels Great to know. Love the bar. Cheers
Great rear bar, looks mint. Leroy is looking really awesome. Great work.
thanks Richard!! appreciate that mate!! 🤙
Hi Guys
Just wondering what convinced you the chemical soot clean was safe for your engine. I've been trying to decide what to do with my 200, the manual or chemical clean. As usual there are very strong opinions both ways and trying to cut through the BS is difficult.
To be honest I just trusted the experts!
Egr delete is a good mod 😄
haha is it?
Just wondering why you talk about weight affecting dyno numbers ? Tyres yes but what's weight got to do with anything. ?
Mint rig btw 👍
So you reckon weight won’t slow the car down on the road? Thanks mate
Are your tail lights going to be seen with the spare in front of them? Cops here are hot on not blocking them (NZ).
Got some on the new rear bar down low!
Hey Keelan & Sarah, HNY, looking forward to following your travels in 2023. Keelan, what’s the brand of gauge you’re using for your EGT, Trans Temps etc? Thnx Rob
Hey Rob! Happy new year mate!! We run a scan gauge 3! Cheers mate 🤙🏽🤙🏽
@@SarahandKeelanTravels thanks 🙏 Keelan 🍻
Can I ask what year and series is you car
we have a full walkaround video on it!
So good
Thanks legend 🤙🏽🤙🏽
You will use more fuel, create more heat, and cause heaps more carcinogenic black diesel fumes. Your motor and running gear will have a shorter life as well. A chipped or a retuned diesel will also require more often EGR maintenance.
Hey Peter. Ok so generally economy is improved. This is because the driver is not having to put their foot down as much anymore in order to get the vehicle to move. The engine & gearbox will definitely not have shorter lives either - we custom tune the ECUs within the factory safety parameters set by the manufacturer, so its safe. This vehicle is equipped with DPFs, so no black smoke. And, no more EGR maintenance is required after tuning. Just thought I'd clear those up for you. Cheers.
How is the weight going?
There is a lot of steel hanging off him now.
Weighed it full of fuel and me and Sarah and it’s around 3.5t, ball weight of the new van is light because it’s a rear door, so we are just scraping in the legalities
Awesome episode guys and your looking refreshed after your Christmas break, nice work with your car too 👌
thanks Len!! that was the last car build episode because big Leroy is finished haha hope you had a great holiday period legend!!
Price on that rear bar?
Hey Alex, it’s 3500$ plus all the extras you want
Dig your sense of humour 👍
thanks legend!! haha glad someone does
Front and rear protection with the bars but you still have the slimsy side steps that offer little or no protection to the side sills?????
Weights mate weights. I wish I could keep going but we are on our limit
My tuner in South Australia told me the dpf won't last it's full life. Have you guys been told that before. Just curious. Mines tuned aswell?
our DPFs are on there way out too apparently, sad news is the car has already had one set changed haha
I would off liked to see the dyno results with stock wheels and tyres Vs the ones you have on, 22 lt per 100 km = 4.5 km per litre or 6 MPG in old school money that's medium to heavy truck territory all the extra strain on the car components can't help with long term reliability
unfortunately we don't have the budget to keep things we take off the car, every part that came off eg.. tyres went straight on marketplace to fund the next mods. would of been interesting though!
22L per hundred towing a caravan is good mate, most 79s get 15-20L not towing and most y62 patrols go a lot higher again. we are very happy with the results.
@@SarahandKeelanTravels My old Toyota FJ40 1974 petrol ⛽with optional four speed gear did about the same mileage as you are getting now
22L? Or 14L
When we arnt towing we get around 14
12+mpg not 6
@@andytee5677 You are right I bit out of practice with MPG been metric since 1971 my TOYOTA does Hilux does 8.5 lt per 100 km so they burning three times as much
It’s seems you guys have a new Urban, most of us have been waiting over 18months does this mean you guys got to jump the que?
Hey Julie,
Great question,
We havnt jumped the que nor have we taken anyone’s position in the line. We are Urbans brand ambassadors and are allocated one build slot every year whether we use it or not. We have had this slot booked in for well over 18 months 🙂
love your videos and watching where you go. With all those extras not on the Toyota has the payload gone over its limit. They dont have a great payload to start with so it must be over once you are both in the car now.
thanks Stephen! we weigh 3.5t fully loaded full of fuel with 4 surfboards, drawers full of tools and spares, fridge full of beers and both in the car. we are trying to cut that down to 3.45t as we speak. our new van full loaded is 3.2tish with a light ball weight because its a rear door dual axel.
@@SarahandKeelanTravels great. As im now no longer driving I’m living my travels to videos like your being able to see what I wanted to see. Australia. Thanks guys and take care..
Awesome build guys. They’re an awesome vehicle.
I want one too but I have to wait a few more years. 🫤
We still have the same old 97 fuel guzzling petrol 80 series we’ve had for 21 years. It’s never broken down.
Just an alcoholic and overweight 😂
GVM upgraded 👍
thanks John! nothing wrong with the 80 mate! my old boy had one for years, it survived all me and siblings learning to drive in it! they are arguably the best cruiser made!! if you can park it you can park anything haha
I missed the professional hosting of 4wd camping videos. No one does as good as Keelan & Sarah on cam. What's your favorite part of the car? I love that rear bar. The whole Leroy package is 1st class.
Few more weeks and we are back on the road mate!! Thanks for supporting us unconditionally Malc! Appreciate your loyalty mate 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Nippy… or did you mean zippy 😂😂😂 oh you make me laugh
Hahah nipppppyyy
Another 75kg for the rear bar. Have you fessed up on the GVM yet? You have to be over?
Got a 4t upgrade so we all sweet
@@SarahandKeelanTravels what upgrade did you go with? Do you have an upcoming video on it?
Does the tune effect your warranty mate ?
We are out of our warranty period but no if anything happened UDT throws the standard tune back in and no one can tell the cars been tuned
no it won't. Most of the vehicles that we custom dyno tune are still under new car warranty. And we tune on average 50 per week across our 3 workshops and our dealer network, whom we do the dyno tuning remotely for.
Was only just looking an hour ago for an episode, figured it should have been time for you two to make an apperance again. So what, ya mean putting 98 octane in instead of 91 is not a tuning upgrade
Thanks for your loyalty mate means a lot to us,
Had a couple weeks off just to refresh! We hate plugging gear and brands all the time so we thought it would be good to have a couple weeks off and enjoy Christmas
So what's the weight now?
3.5t full of fuel and me and Sarah
What's that steering wheel
just standard with a cover on it
Best thing you could have done is leave the car stock, gvm upgrade/2 inch lift then have capacity for a roof topper boat.
Everyone has different needs and wants mate! Sounds like it might be your dream setup! What we have created is exactly what we want
Ah the mighty Land Cruiser. The choice for those who like to spend spend spend on what’s supposed to be the ultimate 4wd! Hahahaha
Hahaha I’ve got landcruiser brain for sure
And then bang from bad injectors
when did you sneak into my car and check my injectors?? you must of been slick
@@SarahandKeelanTravels just a known fault
Haha all good Shaun! , luckily for us we got ours replaced under warranty by the previous owner 20,000km before we bought it! All of Toyotas have the issue, Prado D4d, hilux, cruisers!
Your fuel economy will be incorrect as you have changed the tyre size.
Correct, says 23L on the dash im actually 22L bowser to bowser
🤙👍
yew
Can you give us the weights of you outfit looks great
Cheers
3.5t with me and Sarah, full of fuel, full drawers, fridge full of beers. Currently trying to shave it down to 3.45t that would be our magic number! Might have to get rid of a surfboard 😂😂
Too
thanks maaaatteee
Mate, no one cares hey.
Go use the car stock it’s fine FMD !!!!
Haha please go back to school
99kw and 370nm at the wheels is pathetic. My steinbauer equipped 6cly turbo 79 ute puts out 120kw and 580nm at the wheels. It also put out MORE than your 200 series before the chip, yet as standard it is nearly 80kw less at the engine. That 200 has so much driveline loss, like 50 percent.
I don’t think you really realise the numbers. The car weighs 3.5t on 34” tyres. What does your Ute weigh? Plus it’s a 4 wheel dyno and a all wheel drive car. 79 is rear wheel drive. If we disconnected the drive shaft we would be roughly 750nm - 850nm on a 2 wheel dyno and more like 185-200kw.
@@SarahandKeelanTravels I know but the 99kw is what it was getting to the ground. Thats 50 percent loss from engine kw output. I understand why you had to tune it because it wouldn't pull very good without it. I regularly tow 3.45 tonnes with my ute. I am not being critical of you just the 200 series. Do the big tyres benefits outweigh the power loss?
Hi there. Steinbauer chips are generic - meaning they are a 1 chip suits all "solution". What we provide is far superior to one of those & will achieve for you much better results. You are also comparing a totally different engine & vehicle to this 200 Series.
Are you going off Toyotas numbers? Is that where this 50% loss comes from? If so Toyotas 200kw and 600nm is recoded at the fly wheel not at the wheels. The 200 pulled well before we tuned it and would of done the job fine,
I dare say the 200 before we tuned it would of made the same numbers as your tuned 79 if we disconnected the drive shaft on the 2 wheel dyno.
That’s why every second car towing a van is a 200 and 90% of them arnt tuned or upgraded at all, they are the ultimate tow vehicles
Just as a benchmark and for you to understand, My good mate has the same 6 cyl turbo EFI 79 highly tuned and making better numbers than yours and we put it against the 200 and we beat it.
Yes 100% tyre size eats into your power,
I think comparing a 2 wheel drive light Ute to a 3.5t all wheel drive wagon is like comparing an apple to a watermelon
@@SarahandKeelanTravels exactly it lost 50 percent from flywheel to the wheels. Mostly because of driveline loss and the larger wheels. My comment was about the massive loss that you now wanted to rectify. I tow things for a living. The 200 isn't a good tow vehicle for 3.5 tonnes without upgrades because it has very little payload left after the 350kg ball weight is added, 370kg actually. That has to include the bullbar, towbar, passengers and other accessories. Granted it is better than a Y62 in this regard. They all need upgrades to realistically tow 3.5 tonnes to be legal. I was just commenting on how bad the original dyno result was. You pay for the AWD and big wheels in reduced pulling power. Everything is a compromise. Looking forward to your adventures. I have also used your itechworld discount code, thanks.
Check it before it's "TOO" late.
Thanks matt
Barbers on strike in Oz ?!
Hahaha yeah and the scissor companies have sacked there workers :(
@@SarahandKeelanTravels you're a funny fella, as long as the misses loves it, no other opinion matters.
