Fraser Episodes on the way, just not allowed to give away the Duramax too much yet from the Built not Bought Channel ;) Gona be good !
i always put a garden sprinkler underneath and just let that swing for a few mins while i work on cleaning out the rest of car
Sam and his clandestine maneuvers. Can't wait. Love the collaboration.
Another tip if your busy when you get back is to put a regular sprinkler under your car for a while then moving it along your car, gets a heap of salt and sand off
I do pretty much the same but also use Salt-away all underneath the car and in the entire engine bay. Also I take the end of the hose off for the chassis rails as volume is better than pressure
12mm irrigation pipe with a stop end. Drill holes in the stop end creates a circular spray. Attach hose fitting at other end and shove it in chassis rails and any where else it will fit.
Hose up the chassis. Drink 4 beers and repeat from the other end. 4 more beers then do the other side exactly the same. Iâve worked out the science and it takes 4 beers to wash the salt out of the sand
ahhh the old Beer / flush method ey ! haha perfect !
Never knew about the chassis rail tip with the hose, did just try this and worked a treat. Thanks for a few handy tips definitely helped. đ
No worries Mark đ
Every time I go off road. Pressure wash then a sprinkler in multiple locations and angles for quite awhile. Try to hand wash as much of the frame as possible. Good vid, great tips on the chassis flush.
Thanks Mike ! yeah the ol sprinkler trick is the go :)
TJ, buy yourself an air compressor and a duster gun for the interior clean up. Once you've done a vacuum to remove the bulk of the sand, open all four doors and work from one side to the other and blow everything out the doors... honestly you won't regret it.
weekly deep wash, and nearly twice a year protection underneath and the frame with wax. we have plenty of salt on the roads here in winter season.
and yes everytime we go off-road we wash it too. put it on the lift and then go for it đ
Awesome tools is a pipe cleaner attachment for a pressure, self feeds through the chassis with high pressure water, works awesome
A tip for the double island underbody wash, it says $15 but u can put half that in. It runs for less time but I donât recon u need the hole time coz ur always gonna come home and go over it again!
đŻ
great idea about the roof. I have a platform rhino roof rack and no matter how much i clean the body, if i don't pay attention to cleaning the top ... it just drips down salty water right after.
Strongly recommend getting a decent pressure washer when you have a 4x4
Mate check out some of the Captain Salty's, just gave it a whirl after last couple of beach runs over the last couple of weeks and man it just rips the salt and sand off. Great stuff
I always head out to the local creek ( twin bridges fernvale ) after I wash it down⊠nice water crossing with a rock bottom.. hit it fast or slow what ever turns u on.. nice fresh water
Yeah I've always been a fan of that method ! Except nothing around locally that works for me đ
@@TJANDMAC or pray for rain and hope it comes after camping
If its a good day grab a tube a few meters of rope with a few beers, tie it to the car sink a few and get the misso to drive home haha
Hopefully have my new Nav any day now. First mod Iâll be doing is a underbody stone guard and a bitumen base rustproof. Iâll be doing this myself, so Iâll be removing a lot of the bolt on components like exhaust, splash guards, steps and any bash plates etc. This will give you plenty of rust protection and also acts as sound deadening (less road noise). And still of course cleaning like TJ describes. Do this for beach, dirt and mud is probably worse as it dries inside your chassis making it harder to remove and then when you drive in the rain the mud will get moistened and that will promote rust. Keep your Rigs clean and a great little episode TJ đ
Thankyou Glen ! đ
After a beach run i use the hose on jet and smash as much sand out as possible all around under the car, then i use a green sprinkler hose and put it under the car for an hour or 2 and the amount of sand that comes out is insane.
Seems to just keep on coming from no where haha !
I usually just hope it rains and drive through a puddle but thanks TJ đ
You can buy attachments for your pressure cleaners that are used to clear blocked drains. They shoot jets of water backwards and are on the end of a long flexible hose. Great for cleaning the chassis
I reckon I spend more time under the Nav after fun on the sand or up Booloomba Creek than actually washing the body. Always give the engine a light spray also, yeah sand still comes out weeks later.đ đđŒ
fish oil sprayed on to prevent rust !
Went for my first forbie at Stockton beach, best way I reckon to clean majority of the sand in the tough places is a air compressor with a air gun attachment, before cleaning underneath with pressure washer. The again with the air gun after pressure wash. Not many ppl might own one but definitely does the trick and makes life easier!
Tip for you TJ get yourself a dash mat ahaha to prevent the sun damage on the the dash.
it happened to my dads navara.
Best maintenance trick for alot of beach trips is....... hit those dam puddles or even better if its flooded floor it

Boys youâll be proud to know for my New Years 2021 send off I am smacking beers and lines watching your videos.
Stay safe and keep up the content me and the boys love yous shit.
Thanks legend đđŻ happy new year
mate i used your chassis rail trick and half of fraser from my trip 6 weeks ago came out nice one my man
Snow cannon and ct20 wash always works well
Given you do so much time on the beach, it'd be great to hear about your view on rust protection and is it worth it and what you have on you vehicle.
Thanks.
good afternoon. and I sold the Pathfinder, as the problems were with the engine, and then with the fuel. We have few specialists in diesel engines and equipment. The car is great though. good luck to everyone and big greetings from the north of Russia.
Greetings ! yes the old pathfinders are slowly disappearing off the roads due to those problems !
@@TJANDMAC 2011 2.5TD and assembly Spain. Many people put the engine with Toyota, they are more reliable)))
Just got a 2021 SL ...thanks man for the tips .
no pressure washer to clean out the rails? you can get underbody cleaning tools that fit onto a pressure washer as well, definitely recommend it.
Love the video bro! Iâve seen the nav around the coast a bit and it looks mint. Canât wait to get mine to a similar state đ
Inspired to not let the rain wash my car this afternoon and to show this vid to my gf so she knows how to wash my car XD đ€Ș
đ perfect
Look after it and it will last as long as you need it to.
Nice work mate I do the exact same with mine.
I also go ape shit with Lenox spray
Yeah was gona mention that đ
TJ if you love your Nav as much as I love my Nav then you will put a Sun shade up. đ Love the videos mate!
haha yeah i normally do !đ
Never again lol I did it once and couldn't stand doing this kind of clean up đ
The underbody wash at north shore barge recycles the water so your just blasting your car with half salty water underneath
exciting stuff sand .. I prefer the gurni when it gets sticky
Flushing, cleaning truck frames is definitely woman's work... do a follow up video of her vacuuming the truck interior
Good job mateđđŒ
thanks for the cleaning tip for a new beach driver. but do you rust proof your vehicle first and which method do you use?
No worries đ Iâve never had rust proofing done , they do not spray inside the chassis anyway which is where the problems start , I recommend you clean under your vehicle every time you wash it and there should never be any problems đ
TJ, I used to work as a detailer as a holiday job. Most of what was done really isn't worth it for the average person who doesn't have a lot of time.
Highly recommend a pressure washer with a decent foam gun. Even the most basic ones come with multiple heads. You really want to let the equipment do most of the work. Interior wise, highly recommend Aerospace 303 on hard plastic. Don't use it on screens or any clear plastics.
thanks mate ! yeah pressure cleaner is the way !
Bowdens is the way to go
thanks for the tips. good video. but do you have your vehicle rust proofed first? how do you clen under the bonnet after beach driving?
Ive found in particular on rangers with standard airbox and no snorkel the airbox axtually gets sand in it. Kinda scary to see the first time
oh true
Yo TJ where did you get the method wheels and what size are they? Thanks legend keep up the mad work
Have you ever applied any rust prevention (lanox or similar)? Or just a good wash afterwards seems to do the job for you?
tip.. dont drive your 4x4 engine area over the under body wash. water jets blast bearings dead. best never to use under body water wash. salty lol
Lanotec
Can you help me where i can buy that method 301 the standard??
Oh, so driving your rig through a bog hole is not considered a wash? Asking for a friend.
đ€Ł Na perfect
@@TJANDMAC shweet, I will tell him, or her, haha!
What do you use on your gerni great video
Snow canon đ
Do you use rtk or ppk drone data collection?
Nah but trade it in every 2 years so doesn't worry me
đ the perfect crime haha
Hey mate! Are the rims true beadlocks or imitations? Love the rig!
Mine are imitation, they are Method301 đ€
@@TJANDMAC Thanks so much mate!
what was the tool at the end that sprays the soap straight on ?
Snow blow canon đ
@@TJANDMAC Sweet this was the info I was after. Knew I'd find it in here somewhere.
Drop it in the river then sit back and have a beer
way more fun haha !
Chazzy
No I donât
Are you wearing make up?
I wear Zinc (Sunscreen) if thats what you mean ? đ
