full marks but you do understand this is not gonna go out and go and on two
months ago I purchased a 20 year old Land Cruiser I was in Australia with the
vehicle in South Africa it's for my own use in Africa when I visit to come and
explore and now I'm here to rebuild this vehicle and turn it into an overland
Tora yeah okay also all the belts so this is what's amazing about these guys
when you get it you get a concreteI'm Andrew st. Pierre White join me as I share
my passion for building four-wheel drive trucks and traveling to the remotest
parts the world time now to go through the stock of parts
that's arrived on our doorstep thanks to terrain tailor in the early part of 2019
I went to a big motoring show in Melbourne and terrain tamer and they
said to me how do you expect to work with you you know scene work what are
you thinking up to be honest with you I drew a blank
I thought well yeah I mean I know your company I haven't you've been around a
long long long time and you know fantastic reputation lalalalalala
how am I who generally builds dream machines and new vehicles gonna work
with a company that primarily to possible supplies replacement parts for
for drive vehicles around the world and I honestly did not know how this was
gonna work and then this project suddenly appeared as an opportunity to
build an old vehicle so I gave the meringue and said thinking about doing
this and their reaction was that's exactly what we do
what do you need that's the viscous the mistress fan clutch all the belts so
this is what's amazing about these guys when you get it you get a complete set
of all the guys in a nice bag which you can keep and use these berries often
useful and then you get the radiator hoses but you get all the clamps and the
small hose is that you always struggle to to buy so it's a complete cooling kit
with the small hoses and yeah heaters kit again good quality hose clamps gives
the pipes it's just yeah it's beautiful here's a very nice bracket to the filter
so this is no this is a glass roof filter so because you've got two filters
already in the car yes we get it probably written up removing one of them
in the eyes and replace this with this this flash loop on the effect that you
can see through that is because so valuable so yeah that's gonna be really
sweet to us that's the hub this yeah we've got a
spindle and generally you find these all sealed up these these way and they've
made some improvements on these when I was speaking to them so I'm really
interested to see a lot of terrain tamer parts have have actually gone through a
process of being tested obviously by the mines in Australia and the mines have
actually shown the weaknesses in the parts okay and where it's been Oh II
parts they've gone and worked with her II manufacturers to understand how if
they had a choice to redesign the part they would improve on it so because
they're a unique company there are like a full drive company who do parts and a
complex complete sort of aspect they're able they were able to take the parts
and say how can we improve this part to make it better and then put it back out
in the market and test it so I'm really excited to see some of the differences
they've made and changed from some of the parts that are actually OE parts
they will have improved on but certainly the way they've put the kids together
as you can see they put stuff together which is really makes it much easier to
take it and fit it onto the car and if you're taking spares to take a spare
hose kit and put all your hoses and yeah what a treat
I'm now gonna put this as make it to Mike known even if it's all poses I take
off so nice I'm going to see what this bag actually gives that's pretty loving
anyway anything so very excited about that
that's a fan this is a tropical fan actually it's just a design I wouldn't
know exactly what they've changed but certainly they've made some improvements
to make it more efficient for cooling the vehicle here hasn't got this fan all
the viscous so we're going to refit it
so here's your wheel bearing kit very nice that's got the new speaker
bearing in size nice so all the ones have a solid Bush so that's what's got a
little very much better
that's nice nice engineered oh nice very nice nicely done you finally do it some
kind of double lip on these things mmm with a double lip on the ceiling
changing yes yes you would change you'd put the new bushes and keep this fair
and this is the pole tool kit very nice quality bearings this is this is the one
I was very curious on so here's your tube seal for the front CV yeah yeah not
I've done it they've actually it's actually floats it allows for a bit more
movement yeah though the old models from your 75 suicide 60s seal was almost like
the axle seal so you didn't have a lot of movement so they improved it with the
new models to affair access a bit of play the seal will run wolfies otherwise
the shaft runs inside and if there's a bit of play or movement and of course
then the grease escapes and the biggest problem you have is you have the CV
joint grease escaping into the into the axle casing and a lot of that CB joint
grease is not good for the crown wheel and pinion because it actually takes off
the case hardening
and the older cars when they were servicing the cars one of the things
always say to people just check the conditioner for oil in the front diff
when you're doing service we so dip your finger in or drain a bit off to see if
it's gray if it's gray or discount drain it flush it and put new oil in because
when the oil is mixed with the grease it takes off the case hardening on the
crown with an opinion and you can see it so it's important that Julian front diff
is running in oil and not oil and grease mixed but with these kind of seals this
is actually going to reduce a lot of that problem that's been a caused over
the years complete fill ticket you get a son Porsche if you get your oil filter
you get your fill filter so that's like a better service gets a completely
closed kid so you know if you're traveling and you
want to go to have anything take a kit like this
sounding very nicely put together very nice
what's nice they actually supply you of France CV
woof - axle fit it ain't already greased well they supply those to people don't
grease them properly now you can just put that straight in so here's the rear
wheel bearing kit now we put universal joints what we will
do with your prop shaft to send them off and have them reconditioned and let the
guys for these universal joints and then balance the shots again so timing belt
kids drive belt okay yes sure since no bearing change an idler
pulley there is and they also supply to the cam pump and the currency so the
process is now basically to strip the vehicle down we're checking the air
conditioning because there was no imitation belt so we need to know if
there is a fault before other parts of the vehicle are stripped check the air
conditioned air compression test and then the vehicle will be dismantled and
everything that we know we're going to replace it taken off and in this case
also the gearbox removed because we know that there is a gearbox problem so I'll
be back in the next few days and to follow progress as we go and then I'm
sure I will have hundreds of questions to ask Paul on why we are replacing some
components are those components absolutely necessary to be replaced or
is it just a good idea and are we just doing it because we've got the support
of people like trained timer so what on my plan is that the you at the end of
this will understand what are the components that really really must be
replaced what is optional and
nice to have and replace them if you can that's the picture that I'd like to
create and present over the next few weeks
