Welcome to volume 2 of my Holden Drover build. Something completely different, in this episode I do what I believe is a first. 1.8 to Sierra box without an adapter plate. Rigged up and ready to rumble, slipping it into the engine bay. Will it even fit? Some custom fabbed engine mounts and she’s roaring to go! Absolutely amped to see it in, proud of my work. Here’s my extraordinary build. Holden...

Finally The Phatty gets her long range fuel tank! Suzuki Sierra SJ70
zhlédnutí 8KPřed rokem
My Suzuki Sierra/Samurai of almost 16 years finally got a long range fuel tank. Join me in this install/walk around. Since the restoration I really did regret not fitting a bigger tank. Because her range is terrible. 14L per 100km never got me far with a dented 40L tank. So this modification was well needed and deserved! I customised the exhaust to suit, if you want to run your exhaust like thi...

Mine keeps knocking when I shift from gear one to two and three. I wonder if it’s a differential issue
hello what you use alternator car?? and how much AmP? 100A???
Thanks for the review mate, good comparison!
Where is your tank shield?Nice build
I’ve got a long range tank now :)
How much was the restoration cost roughly?
Hey Jamie I’m looking to buy a sierra myself. Do you have an advice on what’s too many kms before I purchase?
legend mate, i love suzuki 4wds. Its great to see someone with thee same passion. I want my 1st car to be a zook. Cheers from Blue Mountains NSW
14L per 100km before, whats it now? with all that added weight of extra fuel the economy prob even worse
It’s the same
Awesome job! Where is the VOLUMEN 3 ¿?¿? Im doing the same as you
Where did you get your fuel fill point hose?
From a marine/boat shop. It’s flexible outboard fuel hose
@@riddoes ok thank you have tried about 15 different places now didn't even think about marine!
@@ryleeprangley5768Yeah man it’s a bastard of a size to find!!
Doing this job at the moment on my Gypsy, thanks for the tips
Hi you're from India ? Can you share your contact number ? How did the RUF setup turn out ?
How did it go?
Awesome! Would a RUF swap somehow be possible for someone who haven't got access to a welder?
What are the flares?
He tells you, 6’ bushwackers!
👍👍👍👍👍
So the J18 bolted up to the 1.3 sierra gear box? Or is that a J20 box?
Correct j18 to 5 speed 1.3 box
should put a j23 in it once your done :) really put the pain on the gearbox
I’ve heard they’re quite a similar block and set up?
Very impressive ... Looking good
Thanks man!
Hope to god its on the road when I come over so we can go cruising 😍
Man I wish haha, maybe a wrap around the block, who knows haha
@riddoes If it still needs work, I'll hold the torch and pass the peanut butter whisky 😂
Love your work
Cheers my good man :)
Nice work. Way too daunting for my little smooth brain. Looks well engineered, and the problem solving on the fly worked well.
Cheers daddos! I’m so pleased everything lined up with only a bit of minor grinding and drilling 😅 Engine mounts were very time consuming. Making a hd gearbox Mount tomorrow
Great effort Jim. Proud of you.
🫶🏻😘
Sorry mate car ramps I meant to ask. Seeya Rob
Hi there, I just stumbled across your channel, very cool vid, great job, I really like your car stands did you make them and bought them, thanks again. Seeya Rob
How good are luggage straps
She knows!! Absolute tank of a device :)
Ken Oath! Great project. Can't wait for the next ep. That's great Jamie. Very ambitious project. Was there much guesswork when chopping the diff? Almost an Alan Millyard level effort cutting and shutting the housing!
@@gilesfarmer5953The diff was basically all guess work! Just went with the flow and trusted my skill set with the chop!
Who was McKenzie? Anyone spesh?
Awesome video man, i love the little beast mate you've made me wanna do a walk around on mine now, i got a 98 isuzu mu with a l67 supercharged v6, lifted on 33s.. petrol all the wayy!
Wish I can also get like this 😢
I absolutely froth it mate. The colour is honestly the best part
Is it up for sales?
No
nice color! what is the paint code? Want something like that on my SJ413
Did you have to get all that engineered? Tyre sizes lift kit ect?
IT’s recommended but I just run the gauntlet
Hi Jamie, I have a similar build. long range tank with aeroflow fuel pump. if youre keen to see it let me know!
Love the video, recently did Alice Springs, good memories😊😊
Thank you!! Hopefully brought back some not so distant memories back to life 😎

Great video and nice to see a very simple AUS video on this great build. Any tips on finding a model as a project? I assume a hardtop is better with potential for less rust compared to soft top. Thanks!
Thanks mate! She’s a great rig, when I look for a Suzuki I make try make sure it’s a leaf sprung wide track. They will be the 1.3L 5 speed with discs on the front rather than drums all round. Personally I prefer hard tops (quiet and no leaks) or a fibre top. Cheers!
Awesome video! Great quality. What a hike 😁 looking forward to seeing all your adventures on the half lap!
Thank you! 🙌🏼 Karajini is a lovely spot, heaps of waterholes to catch around there too :) I look forward to keep the content rolling in!
So good mate, looking forward to seeing the rest of the mission. That line at the service station was crazy!
Thanks heaps mate! Oh yesss I was so grateful to own a Petrol 😂🤓
Nice rims, got the specs on hand?
What does it weigh given a standard load of just 350 kg ?
Good set up. Where did you get the snorkel from?
Just an eBay special mate, suits Suzuki Vitara
Hey mate love the little beast. Just curious what bonnet latches you are using, I’ve noticed mine lifts up a bit on the highway and I’m always a little paranoid it will fly up!
Hey mate, they are from Lowrange offroad! I feel the paranoia, my lwb ute is scary haha. There is cheaper ebay ones but aren’t as good. Cheers
@@riddoes legend! Really appreciate the quite reply!
Can't wait for the next episode on this one 😀
Stay tuned! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Ain’t dodgy if it works haha all looks safe as houses mate can’t wait to see both this then the drover I hear 13b’s are a good swap 😏
That’s it! She never fell Ahah Cant wait till the drover is low and fast!!
Noice. Looks a bit of a clunker but it has good bones, and I know you Jamie, you will do a brilliant job with your skills. The Drover looks in good shape, can't wait until you stick that mid mounted V8 in there.
Absolutely daddos, If it didn’t run I don’t think I would have bothered with it! But it’s ambitious and exciting. Maybe I should mid mount the carry! Plenty of tray space for a V8
I need to do this upgrade, cheers from Alaska 🤘😎
Definitely pays off!! 😊
Looks to be a very old long ranger fuel tank the new ones look completely different mounting system. And puck up. Brown Davis tanks are only 60l im pretty sure.
There’s a plaque on it that says 4wdSystems, and it turned out to be 75L which was a surprising bonus!
Here to support... Thank you for the informative breakdown
Glad it could help!
That is one mighty mod. I remember doing mine on the Challenger, Needed to modify a few things to get the 116ltr tank to fit. Having a long range tank is so goooooood.
I had such good range with the carry, so I know what you mean! Keen to get her out on a long adventure
Epic mate! I want one on my jimny 😍
So glad I finally did it!
Wana come to the states and apply that recipe to mine? Great job man. It looks great.
