Hi man. Coming from SA I have to salute you on what you have done so far. I enjoy the videos a lot and it's one of very few 76 series builds that I find well documented on CZcams. I have to say as well the only improvement is the volume level between voice and music, but further on well done man!
it may just be me but the difference in volume between your voice and music is to much have to constantly adjust the volume not sure if there is anything you can do about it while editing have noticed it in a few other videos too
Nice mate. Good review. BP-51’s are an edition I would love to see in my 76. There is a clip or two of it on my channel if you want to take a look. I’m new to the 76 series also, but loving it!
Good question, they are 285/75 R16 so not exactly small. We have always found that to be the ideal size for touring NZ. Being twin locked helps of course. They defiantly look smaller with the lift, how ever thats mainly because of their width, And its not the width but the height that gives you traction. At this stage well be sticking to them, anything is possible.
Thanks, No we haven't tackled that one yet. Wed rather run with the offset wheel track than run wheel spacers or diffrent offset rims. We however are looking into a few diffrent options that doesn't include replacing the entire rear axle. Will be filming a video on it whenever it happens.
@@4WDNewZealand I think the big thing with 35s esp on the 70 series is ability to drop pressures for the terrain off-road get better traction, comfort etc, esp if you have say the ARB twin compressor for ex, def get allot more from your rig. she’s coming along nicely though dude, look forward to seeing some off-road adventures with the BP51s soon 🤘
@@4WDNewZealand Unfortunately ARB importers argued the same thing with LVVTA. It’s due to the front shocks being threaded for adjustable preload. Which is basically height adjustment.
That might be the case for IFS coil over vehicles. However the 70 series is still stuck in the 80's :). They do not have this option, if watch the video note how the front and rear shocks are separate from the spring, and how they mount to the vehicle. This makes them non height adjustable.
Mate I love your videos but your “expert” is giving dangerous advice. The castor adjusters are not to correct driveshaft angle, they correct the suspension geometry so that the car drives in a straight line. A quick google search will confirm. Maybe you want to hit them up.

Thank for your sharing Fery biutiful car

Thanks for the feedback, we will make sure to double check before uploading next time.
Wow I love your videos you’re the best
Glad you like them!
Looking smooth. Need to upgrade my suspension too it’s over 6 years old now lol
Suspention is one of the more important things you can do to make your truck preform better
Wicked, the bro put mine in too at tds. The best addition to my 79 was bp-51
Yeah mate he does a good job. Its a completely different truck with them in. Almost a 200 Series :)
Nice. I recommend you install high clearance leaf spring mounts 👍
The OME kit supplied a set of grazeable ones, is that what you mean.
Does the bp51 kit comes with castor correction bushes? Cheers

good evening! what tire size? Did you make the wheels wider?
What size tyres have you got mate?
Just wondering if you can run 35s on a 2" lift
Thanks for sharing
Is that Skoda Octavia in the background (for example in 2:52)? Didn't know you can buy it in New Zealand :-D
Yep sure can, Our NZ police have just adopted Skoda as their offical vehicles
Do you think you will ever get bigger tyres

Looks great? Have you got rear track width changed? And if so how did you do it?

👍👍😍
Just needs some new rims 16/17” on some 35s and she’ll be sick as🤙
Agree with you on the rims, Who knows I might give 35's a go one day haha.

Hey where is that beach?
what tire size?
Its a bummer you have to get a low volume cert for the BP51’s :(
As far as we know you don't. they are not height adjustable
