Well there you go guys. That's the new truck from All 4 Adventure. She's called Blackout.
Come with me now as I show you the finer points of this awesome build.
Let's check her out.
Now if you come around to the front of this truck, the thing about this truck...
It was built for a purpose. It was not built for show and shine. It was built to tour this country.
Now the first thing you'll notice is not a 200 series land cruiser wagon.
This thing is a dual cab 200 with, mind you, a 650 extension.
Now that was built by Creative Conversions.
While they did that 650 extension in the chassis, they also did a 4.2 tonne towing upgrade.
There is also 4495 gvm upgrade,
and that's all to the help of the Creative Conversion build and Outback Armour suspension.
Now the front of this truck, you'll notice it has a pretty cool looking bull bar on it.
Now this bull bar from Offroad Animal is a low profile,
very sleek looking bar designed to follow the shapes of the truck.
You'll also notice I've mounted a series of XTM lights on the front there.
I've got some nines and some sevens. We've also got some aerials from Uniden.
Now the light set up you've also there's a little light bar in here,
one of the little mini light bars in the front there.
Also mounted onto the front here is a Red winch.
Now it's a 17,500 pound winch.
Here's the beauty of this winch.
It has nearly 40 metres of rope on it.
To put that in perspective, a normal winch only has about 29 metres.
So that's a lot of rope.
Also it is air brake, and it is also air auto free spool.
So realistically what that means is I can sit in the cab.
I can press a button, and it'll go into free spool.
Press another button back, and it'll lock back into drive. How cool is that?
Now this truck you'll notice as well, it has a lot of blacked out features.
Now that's where the Blackout name comes from.
You'll notice all the front grille, all the lights, they're all blacked out.
Now the reason why I did that is I wanted to get rid of all the chrome on this truck.
Chrome's out. Black's in.
We'll see how we go with that.
Now it's also got a satin wrap.
So it's a full satin wrap from Signorama.
Now that really sort of lays the tone for this whole truck.
Now while we're at the front of this truck,
let's pop the bonnet and see what makes this thing hum.
So as you pop the bonnet, the first thing you're going to notice
is a grasshopper wedged in my fan.
That's pretty cool. We'll eat that later.
No, what you'll notice is a set of twin fans and a PWR intercooler.
Now the whole idea of that is obviously to cool the air going into the turbo
and all that and give us a performance boost which looks pretty cool.
You'll also notice the Fatz snorkel box here which is incorporated
into the pipe snorkel which is really cool. It's good for your air filtration.
Dual batteries up the front. The lithium start batteries.
Two big isolators here which I use to isolate the winches and also can isolate the whole truck.
Now that's all that's been done to the the engine
other than putting a remap into it from Just Autos.
Brings it up to about 200 at all four wheels with 35s.
Now that's not all where it stops, we also put a throttle controller.
Now it's an [Ultimate9] evc x unit, and that sort of brings that throttle control.
Gives you that response straight off the mark.
Very cool especially running 35-inch tyres,
you're going to need as much response as you can get. So that's pretty cool.
Let's drop the bonnet. All right let's go down the side of this truck.
The first thing you're going to notice is the new mirrors from Clearview.
These are very cool.
They're a compact-style mirror but still with the telescopic extension.
Fully adjustable, fully electric. They fold in when you hit the key.
The light flashes. You've got an indicator on the side here.
These things are very, very cool,
and they are also incorporated with the Clearview side steps.
Up and down, they go as you open the door. Very cool.
Even little details like this, you'll notice that we've blacked out the the front indicator light.
All right, I'm trying to go with that black theme.
Also I've got some flared guards here. You have a look at those.
That's an aftermarket accessory that we put on to give it a staunch look.
Got some new rims as well from ROH.
The other thing you'll notice is the new platform rack from Rhino-Rack
with the incorporated bolting up of the lightbars and channel sections.
We've got some side lights going on here.
I've got the Maxtrax Xtremes on the top. We've got a shovel holder over there.
At this stage set up, we've got an Almac boat loader which is remote control.
And the tinny on top as you can see.
Now not stopping there, it's got a full Norweld canopy
which we'll go inside and have a look at that.
Now you'll notice this whole blackout theme,
I've really spent a bit of time giving it some, not only the colour, but also the texture.
I've gone with a satin wrap, and then I've gone little features like this
and coated it in what's called a rubberized coating. You'll see that.
So we've painted that in a rubberized coating, and it not only gives it the black look,
but it also gives it a textured look. So it takes all the aluminium out.
I've tried to blacken out with the wrap as much of the chrome,
as you can see there even on the handles.
You know you've got all the best things that you put on canopies
like pressurized water with the tank.
Back drawers. Rhino-Rack batwing awning which is a very good addition to this truck.
Around the back we've got the twin spares on the back there as per normal.
The canopy is the latest addition from Norweld.
1900 millimetres long, about 1900 wide, those sort of dimensions.
I've got a rear winch. Check this out. Red winch in the rear, same as the front.
17,500 pound winch air operated, so it's got air brakes.
So it's an electric winch, but with air brakes.
Exhaust system by Just Autos. That's a straight through four inch stainless steel system.
Comes out of dump pipes and straight through.
Brown Davis long range tank, 271 liters of diesel goes into this truck.
And while we're under the back there,
you'll notice that we've got the full Outback Armour suspension with sway bars.
We've got diff drop kit.
We've got top arms to bring the caster and camber back into correction.
And this suspension package is fully adjustable.
So front and rear shock absorbers, well front struts, rear shocks
are fully adjustable with the helper coils, as well which makes a big difference.
And of course don't forget the airbags from Airbag Man
which are all operated from the built-in air system which I'll show you in a minute.
On this side, we've got the Sunseeker awning,
that's a 2.5 standard straight awning from Rhino-Rack.
I do that because on this side, I've got that'll come out to there,
then the 180 will come around from the Batwing and almost connect up.
Let's have a look inside the canopy.
Here we go.
Now as you can see we've got the canopy absolutely chockers at the moment.
We've got an outboard sitting in here. There's an outboard slide goes in there.
In here we've got a full RedVision package. 2000 watt inverter from Redarc.
We've got a cell-fi, which is a mobile phone booster.
We've got some usbs and all that sort of stuff.
Now all this was put together wired,
this whole package inside this canopy, was done by Tactical Tourers.
So they wired this whole shootin' match up,
including the air system as well. They've done a really cool job.
You'll notice I've installed some overhead rod racks there.
Which is a very good feature that I have put in all my trucks. Very important.
I've also gone to the extent of putting vinyl wraps on the front of my drawers here.
Just to give you that sort of cool look there.
Remember I was going for that black theme as much as I can.
All right check out the new shovel holders from Rhino-Rack mounted on the driver's side here.
So these are fully lockable, quick release just by pressing the button there. Shovel's off.
So a quick look in the cab. I've got the Supafit Seat Covers.
These are the denim version. Now these are the charcoal ones.
Steering wheel from PVS. Check that out. Very cool looking steering wheel there.
I've got a massive head unit here that's an additional feature again.
That's not something that comes standard with Toyota.
You'll notice all my switching for my winches. So the winches don't have a plug-in lead.
They have remote control, and they have switches on the dash.
You'll see front winch, rear winch, also free spool.
That's the uhf from Uniden. Put some usb power up there as well,
and it's incorporated the existing sunglasses and light from the overhead console.
It's pretty cool. And of course I got a 35 litre Dometic 12-volt fridge,
so that's the new CFX3.
All right guys, this is the kitchen side. It's where all the food's prepared.
Always on the passenger side is where your kitchen is,
because it's obviously not on the roadside.
Now this setup here is, you know, typical of the Norweld builds
with some really cool innovative stuff
like a pullout table there for quick roadside feeds, sort of thing.
Notice I've gone with some more wrapping of the black.
I've even done the fridge here, which I thought it looks pretty cool.
And of course you know that's a 110 upright fridge/freezer there.
Check her out from Dometic.
Only way to go, I reckon for this setup.
Now I've got a 15 metre hose reel in here. I have got twin compressors.
So not single. So they are twin twins,
if that makes sense with a Tyre Spider incorporated into this truck.
And you're looking at me going what the hell am I going to do?
What does he mean by Tyre Spider?
Well if you have a look at all the little valves on there,
I can actually pump four tyres up at once.
How do I do that? Well I'll show you.
I go into my toolbox here, and I pull out four of these hoses.
Now they're little short hoses, and I go under here,
and I plug that in there, and I plug this on the tyre like that.
I hit the compressors. Boom. All four tyres at once.
I can also, and there's a fitting at each point of the tyre,
I can also while I'm doing that,
I can put more air in the front or in the back.
And I can I can adjust it around.
So if I want to get 40 in the two front tyres,
I can then stop them once they're 40 using the gauge.
And then I can keep pumping the rear to 45 or something like that.
So very versatile. I can also let the tyres down if I want to exactly the same way.
I'm very impressed with that. It works really well.
It took a lot of work to get it sorted.
And again that was with the help of Tactical Tourers.
Now two of those at the rear and then of course at the front,
there's the two mounted on the bull bar.
So easy access with little rubber caps on them,
so they don't fill up with dirt and stuff and then they don't work.
The other thing you'll notice is 240 power from the inverter.
There's a power point in there where I plug my cappuccino machine which is pretty cool.
I've got a table that sits up in here which also comes in handy for preparation and cooking.
Now the whole lighting system is run by these lights here. I've got a series of lights on the doors.
They can be yellow and white which is pretty cool.
And the way to operate those,
if you come over here and have a look,
I've put another RedVision control panel here.
And the reason for that is because if I'm on this side of the car,
it's easy for me to just reach over, boom lights are on.
I can also operate the side lights while I'm at it.
All four of them all from that unit there.
I could also pull it up on my phone,
and I can operate everything from my phone from RedVision.
Now to run all this stuff, I've got 400 ah of lithium batteries.
And I've got a solar panel on the roof, so we've got a Redarc solar panel,
and that's what feeds it when the tinny is not on the roof.
Also it's with that whole RedVision system.
If it's not using solar, it might be using the car to charge it or 240 power.
And that's coupled with obviously a 2000-watt inverter,
which is all operated by that RedVision system.
I reckon on this is probably one of the best touring trucks in Australia at the moment.
Not only can it haul 4.2 tonne, it can also carry 4495.
It is an absolute weapon of a truck.
Horsepower on tap.
And can tow really big loads and yet be functional
in a touring environment off-road and on-road.
So there you go guys, that is the new truck from All 4 Adventure.
It is the Blackout.
And you decide for yourself whether this is Australia's best touring truck.
