I can not believe we are actually seeing Tyler doing some work himself.....even if it is only a fire extinguisher.... 🤪
You watch out, I'll be changing a tyre by the end of the year at this rate
Bro has less then 90k subs and puts more money and effort into the channel than 4x4 24-7 . Gotta respect that
100 percent. 2 blokes, couple of cars, family and smashing it. Compared to 4 blokes, production team, cameramen. Both dropping 1 episode a week.
Appreciate it mate!
💯 good job, this is really a good example how family business can work out very well. ☯️
ha what
Pretty sick you can do this for your old man mate, well done he must be bloody proud of ya for what you have achieved
Thanks mate!
We were just as surprised as you Burto, to see tools in Tylers hands.
Burto had to go home early he was that shook
Nice build Tyler. One thing you should've added is rear coil tower braces as they're prone to cracking with added weight and stiffer springs.
Yeah I have them on both my Patrols, my theory was he won't be towing or carrying huge loads and driving fairly cautiously so should be sweet but definitely could do them down the track
Gday, Gary won’t know himself now, I’m surprised Secondair hasn’t been used and seen more on social media considering how long they have been around for, it’s a bloody brilliant idea, great episode mate, cheers
Love your work mate, you guys are a great team with awesome content, I really enjoy the banter and Birdo's snappy one liners crack me up. Keep up the great work Tyler, this is my favourite channel. Legend 👍🏼
Awesome, thank you!
seeing the old boy not in a bobsled but a twin locked weapon is unreal! love the work mate
Great episode mate was great too see u put the inner bead lockers that I put u onto
What a legend, he's a 4x4 Oompa Loompa. You should get a horde more of them.
Tyler, I love the crocs safety boots and there will be union action if you continue to do work
Wheels are ROH assault not vapour. Build is look good 🤙
Yeah whoops my bad 😅 thanks mate!
Hope MY kids watch this!
Your dad must be so proud to have such an awesome son. ❤
Great content, love your work, great build. Thanks for putting up the price list and explaining those inner beads, I wasn’t aware of these and keen to see how they work on the trip.
Can you do an episode just explaining tyres and rims. Sizes, ratio, offset. Why you selected those for your dad?
These 2nd air bead locks are going to be a game changer,, honestly I hope pooly brought shares in the company before posting his video
Been around for decades, use to run them, they can be a pain…
@Paulblackburn44B how so, what problems did you have, been looking into getting them for a while as I use quite low pressures
@@ben97838 been a long while, but did have problems with them leaking, and not a real easy fix, was using them in comps at the time, so they were copping a flogging..
Not grandpa spec anymore. Your dad should invest in the Bushwrapz paint protection film to protect the paint on his GU for as long as it can. It seems like the paint on it is still relatively good (on camera anyway).
"ONE MORE MOD, ONE MORE MOD" on every episode please 😀
Are you adding inner bead locks to all the rig now?
Also is it father's day already🤔 Happy father's day Gary, enjoy your travels mate. You've got a great boy there👍
It’s good to others give the 2nd air Beadlocks a go. I’ve run them for 4 years + now and been great. Awesome Aussie invention 👍🏻
Watching very keenly, bring it on for the old fella, Gary.
First time I've ever seen inner bead lock. Curious how wheel & tyre balance up with these.
Wealie
I was hoping that you were going to show Burto fittin that swaybar. Just fitted my one and the diesel tank was in a prick of a spot to fit the drivers side swaybar link pin mount. Was interested to see how a mechanic would have tackled it.
Starting to take shape...good to C U on the tools...😊
So cool to see what you’re doing for your dad. ❤️
great to see the great tourer being put together mate. good looking rear bar which doesn't need a rear panel chop :)
Hes going to love that. Have fun sir. Good on you Tyler.
Maaaaaaate - the dad’s car is going to be a big change from the Isuzu! Mint!
The ROH wheels are awesome - I chose them for the 1500kg rating and run 32.7” with the tire and awesome! A bit difficult to clean after a muddy run but not too bad!
As for extinguishers, thought you may get the fire sticks that last 100secs once started and good on ALL types of fires 🔥
Starting to take shape Good to C U on the tools...😊😮
Looks awesome guys can't wait to see the rest of the barwork, looks smick from the sneaky snippet we got. . . Love that Horizon rear table, pity they dont do a GQ one . . .
drivers extinguisher should be the other way around so you can actually grab it out
You Gotta love giving any 4b upgrades!
Good work boys! I guess dad was at work to pay for it all? Bill Mc
I hope you boys make a trip to WA it'd be so good to meet you fellas! cheers for another great video Tyler
I'm very curious to see how the inner bead locks perform.
Was about to say...where the hell is Shauno?😊...he's usually running around behind the scene doing all the essential smaller checks on other parts of the vehicle...and up he pops!
On ya Shaun-O! 👍
Hey TT, can you put together like on the last 30 seconds of the vids a detailed parts list with the model number of the part and where to get them from as my mate wants to set up his identical 2010 GU like the exact same...where he can buy from the same place you guys get from.. and tell them we saw this kit on TT and want same so as they know that the sponsor stuffs working👍..as he did with the trailor) *BUT..just noticed you did..cheers 👍
Also, for future easy fit ref...
a) Look at the Outback roof console..
b) Fit the door extender so to open the back left door wider. $25.
c) Fit struts to back doors $20.
d) Fit reversing light on small adjustable pole - rear lighting is needed bigtime!
e) Rear shock brace
Take Note...If your heading out remote bush out OTT way, make sure you buy some of this sheet...it works fkn awesome!! Saved many out in remote.. especially a GU Patrol with 15L and LC200 with 10L water in tank from fuel stops contaminated fuel drum...after realising, they poured a couple small bottles in...shake 4x4 left to right to mix..ALL GOOD and both kept going finishing track! (The 80 series without using this stopped 45km later)
czcams.com/video/ik0VNBHcnMw/video.htmlsi=Ph-CUQ5-lyLipZkN
Again...great work by the triple Ts (Tyler Thompson Team)
Cheers mate👍
Great vid. Gonna be even better in the bush now.
Also when the "Boom Boom, pppsssshhhhh fires out" merch coming 😂
i wanna see old mate re arranging jaws. haha nah absolute craftsman top work! does he have socials?
Looking good mate, Berto Escobar working hard as usual on those inners, can’t wait to see the rest. Thanks for putting the prices up there
Burto Escobar 😂😂
Gary should be able to do some harder tracks with you and Burto now, I like the rear door thing and all the mods
Get some caster correction bushes for the radius arms will help. Unless youve already cdone it 👌🏼 great videos. Love the patrol builds
Thanks mate!
I learnt something new from this episode. I've never known about inner tube bead-locks. Looks like a great bit of gear. I hope you do a long term review on this in the future. Will cutting part of the rear door inner structure, to fit the Horizon table weaken the support for the rear spare tyre mounts (if not being remounted on the bar)?
I would assume cutting and not adding reinforcement to the inner skin will cause some issues
@@-PORK-CHOP- That's what they did. They cut part of the sheet metal to enlarge the whole in order to fit the spice rack. Just curious if this will have a negative impact on the rigidity of the spare tyre mount.
Ive fitted second airs before and they are a pr!ck of a job! 😅
However drilling a hole in you rim, illegal. Especially if you weld to a rim.
Yes, I'd thought the same thing. There website does state "for off road use only" and a bit of the old 'may not be legal in all states'. You just win in this country, the fun police (and vegans) are everywhere.
Nice job guys its coming up great
Cheers Shad!
Some good work lads. I get a bit of a horn with shiny new suspension components and who doesn't love a good old Chuck Norris joke lol!
Thanks mate!
Awesome video mate, looked like a good good crew too
Thanks mate!
well thought out touring pack. nothing over the top. i assume a simple 12v n storage system coming later as well. well done Gaz. did TT have one to many red bulls then couldnt leave the tools alone lol.
You will have to get a hoist Tyler.
Good to see a medium but capable build up that the constabulary is ok with. So it’s ok to weld a diff guard on while on car? Would you have to just do an oil change after or not even necessary?
Hey Burto was i dreaming that Tyler helping out and doing something to help ?😛
Such an interesting video. Will be good to see a video on what's illegal and what's not legal as in insurance wise. So many people go out and buy all these gadgets and find insurance or warranty is ouch
Great rear bar, patrol rear lights always fall out off road
Shouldve washed underneath prior to doing suspension and diff guard?
Everything he does for ya, buy the poor bloke a hoyst 😂
nice video, i believe wheels are ROH assault though
SecondAir Beadlocks - how did they go on the trip on the ROH wheels? Any issues?
Gonna be interesting to see how far a legal rig will go compared to one that needs engineering
Where are you lads off to? Just drove past you this afternoon. Initiating dad's GU?
I won't say where in case you'd prefer to announce yourself. ;)
No bracing the rear shock towers?
They're going to have to surgically remove the smile from his face!!!😁😁😁
Yep facts!
"Call berto he'll tell ya!" needs to be a t shirt
Is the Barra all done now? Any problems ?
Surely you can buy Berto a garage creeper 😅
Sweet ep, nice build 👌
Quick question, why did you choose to go 17's? As opposed to, say, 285/75/16's. Can't wait for Cape mate! 🎉
Stock rim is 17” so I’m guessing 16” won’t clear the brakes.
@Oh_Sully23 oh right yeah I was wondering if it had to run at least 17's, cheers mate.
I thought the idea was to keep it simple and no heavy mods, only for touring :D
Yep that's what this is in my opinion 😁
@@TylerThompson90 haha then I would love to see a fully rigged up patrol on your channel soon!!
What size shocks went in ?
One more mod! One more mod! One more mod!
Why are bead lock rims illegal, what’s the reason?
I like this idea simple .. can’t really afford 10-12k suspension but would love it if we got the coin
Yea. They clearly have a different idea of what a 'simple' suspension set up is, than what i do. 😂
Need a Gary vs Graham patrol battle.
How would the table go with drawers awsome bulid
Cheers mate, just wouldn't be able to open a drawer on that side when the table is down I suppose. Other then that all good
Did you change the tyer sides?
Itll come close to your brother in laws triton now its got some mods 😂
Lets go...
Every shed needs a Burto your dad's truck looks friggin awesome l wish it was my GU I to are getting ready for the Cape have a wonderful time cheers legends 😄
Great Vid. If ya have a DMAX still under warranty, would you put a Fuel Pre Filter and Catch can on ?? what priority? do they void warranty? this is for 'NORMAL' 4WD and Big Lap trip. Its only $$$ :-)
No. Will not void the warranty, and dont let them tell you any different.
Definitely do the pre filter but catch can is only worth it if you're going to make sure to check it and empty it often
How much weight needed to balance the tyres? You can't plug the tyre now on the track to get you out trouble I guess
You can still plug the tyre in a emergency
That's good. How do they balance up. Much weight needed?
@@Jacobtheunwise at low pressure I would imagine the inner device or at high pressure both the tyre and the inner would be punctured . So if highway driving the imbalance would be really bad.as inner would be deflated.and you would have to change it out?
@@jamestanner9198 The SecondAir Beadlocks as a system are only about 2kgs, which is pretty light compared to the tyres these days, and they balance up really well. Mostly if you puncture your tyre, the SecondAir will let you limp to a safe spot to fix, protecting both your rim and tyre. Plugging the tyre will still work, just keep the SecondAir at 50psi, and increase the main tyre pressure rather than keeping on at 5-10 psi.
@@AvanterraGroup so the second air won't puncture? Nail etc ? I thought they would if you running really low pressure in tyres. Do they sit really close to the rim? How high off the rim?
Does Burto still work at S&P? Best mechanics there when I used to live in Port
Nah he just works with me at the moment
Haha thanks Tyler for the epic install! See our brackets are so easy to install ever Tyler can do them himself! 😅😅😅🔥🔥🔥🧯🧯🧯
We are doing a huge eofy sale now! Get in quick!
Cheers mate! Great brackets
Please check, yes internal bead locks are legal but as soon as you drilled the hole in the wheel that makes the wheel not legal as it's been "modified" ?
Yeah from what I've heard since I posted the video you might be right, I know you can buy rims with the second hole already drilled so maybe you need to get them for the set up to be fully legal
What was the offset of the rims.
Why did you go 17in instead of 16in? Did you need to for clearance to the valve?
Just a lot nice rims comes in 17 inch was the main reason I think and we wanted that specific tyre size. Either way would work though
Is 3 inch lift and 2 inch bigger tyres legal
As far as I am aware can only go 2 inch lift and 7% bigger tyres but also varies a little state to state
Or get method wheels with beadgrip
Drilling a hole in your rim makes the wheels illegal. Surprised they didn't tell you this.
Yea, i thought the same thing.
a lot easier to hide than external beadlocks thats the point
@@darcykeddell4930 Tyler has told us their legal
@@darcykeddell4930 My point is that the mod shown is illegal but Tyler says otherwise.
@@Producable there are wheels that have 2 valves standard I don't see the issue
Can you chop down that roof rack so its not 1km off the roof hahaha
Yeah we want to get a different one at some point haha
Yapanese 😂😂😂😂
Thays already been done...
👀🤙👍
I got defected for having the exact same size tyre cop said it was .1 % over 😐
Sounds like you copped a w@nker of a cop.
Do what i do. Keep specs of your 4wd in the glovebox. When they say things like, 'Youre .1% over" (which is BS by the way. How would he know). Just pull out the specs from the factory and prove theyre wrong.
If you look at the RVDS sheet 275/70R16 was the biggest tyre that came out on a GU wagon, technically you can go for a 295/70R17 and be 6.7% which under 7% max increase
you sure those deadlocks are road legal?, their own disclaimer begs to differ, if thats changed its poo as I just pulled the trigger on some method beadgrips
"Caution

You can make everybody's dream car untill You have sponsors
Hope it doesn't blow up like the last 4 maybe get a different mechanic if your going to go far away maybe get your own truck running properly first you got the shitbox army at the moment
beadlocks aren't illegal wtf are you on about. it's illegal to modify wheels so weld on beadlocks are illegal, if the wheel was designed as a beadlock and certified it's legal.
a lot aren't certified because the manufacturers don't want to fork out for testing.
but saying beadlocks are ilegal is false, then you go and modify your wheels and claim they're legal, unlikely and the internal tube type beadlocks were al;ways moredrama than they're worth.
32.8” 😊 you would be surprised how far you can get on fake 33” 😅 wheels 🛞
What’s the offset of the rim ?
