Thanks for watching legends 👍 Here is the website if you want to have a look around: www.north-oz.com 🤜🤛 I appreciate the support you all have given me over the last 3 years of doing this and I'm looking forward to making more great content for you. Next week the project budget build begins. I'm so keen to share this with you all. Thanks again.🤙
Awesome vid..again. I remember when a 10mm blue foam mat seemed like a luxury, followed by an esky full of ice..as long as you ate all the perishables in the first couple of days. Great set up, and advice. There will always be something else you could use or think you need, but get out and do it rather than wait. Lifes too short
Thanks James! That kind of where I’m heading with this build. This is my long distance tourer so over the next 2 years, I will be taking this on long trips to remote places 👍
It all depends on how much you use your vehicle for camping or off road. When you do 20,000 km a year on road but spend $15,000 for that really tough 100m section of track you might hit on your annual camping trip.
Probably the first mod I would have done to it , should have been a secondary fuel filter and catch can,I told my son to install these mods to his new D-max ,your drivetrain is the most important to protect,it does not affect your warranty.
Agree with the fuel filter, I fitted a direction plus pre filter. Toyota service department happy with that. The jury is out on Catch Cans and there could be issues if fitted with a warranty claim. If you change oil and don't do short runs catch cans are not necessary.
@@NorthOz. It gives us viewers ideas of thing's to be able to do that we never would of thought of and also different companies that exist that most of the time you'd never know they existed. 🙂👍🏼👍🏼
G'day mate. I've got a 2023 rogue, my rear track appears to be offset about 10 to 15 mm to the driver side. Checked on it with dealer and we measured 2 new ones in stock. 1 was offset about 7mm the other was spot on. Noticed anything with yours?
Hi mate. Great questions. I wouldn’t go higher than 480mm. Anything over that and you are risking fowling on the roller cover. Here is the exact fridge I run tinyurl.com/MyCoolManFridge I rate it. I have been using it for around a year now. The thing is a tank. Probably the last fridge I’ll ever buy. I hope this helps 👍
Fantastic advice only spending what you need … rather than helping ARB directors collect bigger bonuses! BTW, what’s the usability like with the wider track - like getting in and out of tight areas like Cairns Central ?
Thanks for the comment mate 👍 Turning circle on this is atrocious. And with a bigger wheel setup it’s only going to get worse in the tight spot department. I’m getting used to it though but the wider track around town is more of a hindrance than a help. It does look cool though haha
I haven’t tested it with the Anderson plug yet. I will be testing in the next couple of weeks as that will be helpful for my long term setup for sure 👍
Hey mate . Those seat covers that you have used . how are they holding up now? Did you use the centre console lid cover or does it not fit ? Looking at buying the same set , supplier says "Some customers have tailored their console covers to ensure a good fit" Keep the vids coming Thanks
Hiya, what model seat covers did you end up getting again, I can’t seem to find the install video where you said. I know they are making the 23 rogue ones soon but keen to get some protection asap
Mark swap your interior dome lights to led from stedi if you like as they pretty bright. I might get Toyota snorkel too. Already done wheels and tyres to zero offset 265/65/17. Good Utes but wish Toyota should have done different tune on our wider Rogue as they like 200kgs heavier and my one never seen under 12/100 even on highway lol and around 12-14/100 local
Oh wow! That fuel economy is atrocious. I’m averaging around 9L/100km right now with 50/50 mixed driving. Wheels and tyres and a long range fuel tank are very high on my list over the coming months. Good advice, thank you very much. What wheel width did you go with? 8.5 inch? 😊
@@simranbanga5467 0 offset are illegal here on a std Hilux. Can only increase track 50 mm. Hilux factory off set is p30 so you can only go to p5 legally. I went to p7 Fuel rims. Rogue factory offset may be different to p30 though so maybe ok on a Rogue.
Good question. I’m not entirely sure. The roof would depend on the rack system you are running. If it’s a solid system on the roof, most roofs are limited to 150kg. I would use anything other than a fold out rooftop tent as the tray and the roof is not big enough for a large clamshell in my opinion. I hope this helps 🤙
Hey mate, do you think 265 65 r18 on stock wheel will fit well without lift? Any possible scrubbing with mud flaps? Cuz Factory rim actually look good for me. I find some people with this size tire got slightly scrub at full lock with sr5, but rogue come with higher and wider suspension.
Hi mate. Great question. I couldn’t tell you to be honest. I have some information regarding tyres you can run on a 17 inch wheels but not on the stock rim. Sorry for not being helpful. I don’t think you will be able run much bigger than stock on the factory rim but you could ask a tire shop if they are willing to give it a go 👍
Hi mate. I can comment on the warranty but the setup does not interfere with the running of the electric cover. You should be safe with warranty unless someone installs the racks wrong or due to incorrect use causes a problem with the cover. That’s my thoughts anyway 👍 Thanks for commenting and subscribing
Hi mate. Good question. I won’t be doing roofracks to keep the clearance down for day to day to use (it’s my daily too) but I may consider a roof top tent in the future. Probably not on this vehicle as I want to keep the flexibility of the tray but I may do it on an upcoming build. I really like sleeping in my swag which is good for flexibility too as I can chuck it up on the load bars when I’m camping and take it off when I’m not. That’s a bit more difficult to do with a roof top tent
I know you saw my videos on it, but overall, I really like it. For the price I think it’s a better option than the Prado. I really like the rear passenger air conditioner and on the road it’s quiet and will do heaps of kms. I hope this helps 👍
Thanks for watching. I appreciate all comments on my videos. Even though this build was not for you, perhaps you’ll enjoy my next build releasing later this week 👍 I look forward to your thoughts later in the week 😊

Completely agree!
Great work. It would be awesome one day if you could do a video of this setup crossing the Simpson desert.

Thank you sir. That’s great advice. With the low kms on my vehicle, now is probably a good time to do it. Thank you for the advice 👍

Why on earth would need a “catch can” ?
Good stuff Mark. Looking forward to checking out the website
Thanks Richard! I’d love your thoughts on it. It’s very new and the whole process was rather complicated so I hope it’s a good experience 👍
Just wanted to say a big thank you for the recommendation on the “Shark Skin” seat covers … great price and excellent quality!
I’m glad you enjoy them 🤙 I’m looking at trying a different company to see how they compare but I have been happy with my 2 sets so far
Hey Mark. Thank's for the great review & info.
Thank you for the feedback and I appreciate the nice comment 👍

Bonnet and tailgate struts
Great suggestion 👍 Can’t believe it didn’t come with bonnet struts 😂

Hi Mark, Nice work with your videos. Do you know what amperage rating the factory fitted 12 volt outlet in the Rogue tub is?
Hi Grant, thanks for the comment and sub. The amperage is 15A in the tub 👍
@@NorthOz Mark, Thanks for your reply and the information. Cheers 👍
Hey mate, what size coolman did you fit in the tub. Would you have the tub Height measurements handy ?

@@NorthOz have you found wheel placement off-road difficult knowing where the tyres are considering they hang out past the guards?
Turning circle Raptor 13m
Ranger Wildtack 12.7m
New rouge 12.6m
Old rouge 11.8
Can you charge the eco flow with the Anderson plug in the tub? Cheers
I haven’t tested it with the Anderson plug yet. I will be testing in the next couple of weeks as that will be helpful for my long term setup for sure 👍
Hey mate . Those seat covers that you have used . how are they holding up now?
Did you use the centre console lid cover or does it not fit ?
Looking at buying the same set , supplier says "Some customers have tailored their console covers to ensure a good fit"
Keep the vids coming
Thanks
Hi mate. They work well. The centre console will not fit the rogue as they are different to other models of hiluxes 👍
Hiya, what model seat covers did you end up getting again, I can’t seem to find the install video where you said. I know they are making the 23 rogue ones soon but keen to get some protection asap
@@emilyrosephillips I got the same - sharkskin . Have just received my rogue today ,so will be fitting them very soon
What model car sharkskin did you get to fit the 23 rogue or did you go the universal?
@@emilyrosephillips they are marked as sold out but google will help you find other places that have them
Snorkel is coming too much wind noise inside the car?? Mate 😊
Nah couldn’t hear it at all mate

Well done Mark 👍🏼 can the eco flow be charged with solar panels if your away camping for a week or more.
Regards Darren
Hi Darren! Yes it can. Eco flow sell them too so you could get them at the same time 👍

How about a winch mate?
As a touring vehicle I won’t run a winch. I would run one in my patrol for sure though
Great video buddy. I need better tyres.
Thanks Steve 👍
Does having that front runner set up on the tray impact or ruin the electric roller covers warranty ?
Hi mate. I can comment on the warranty but the setup does not interfere with the running of the electric cover. You should be safe with warranty unless someone installs the racks wrong or due to incorrect use causes a problem with the cover. That’s my thoughts anyway 👍 Thanks for commenting and subscribing
Hey mate, in terms of space would you consider roofracks and/or rooftop tent?

No all terrain tires?
Not yet. Once these tyres are worn out, a new set of wheels and tyres is on the cards
@@NorthOz I feel it. I put almost 30k miles on mine before I finally made the leap to some Falken Wildpeaks and SCS wheels on my Tacoma.
Just noticed you have a video already on it sorry thanks.
No dramas brother 👍
Build ? What build. No bullbar ? Tires ? Lights winch ? 😂 this must be a joke. Yeah build for wollies car parks. Yeah good build mate 👍
