Milo Vs Milo 2 - What's Worked - Roothy Bushmechanics

[Music] Milo to talk to you by the best names in the business and a whole bunch of my mates helping out hey yeah mate here you're going alright I've been wanting to do this for a while just to draw a few comparisons between the original male and male two and why I did some of the things I've done tomorrow too and why some of the things that evolved through male 1 have either gone or carried on into number 2 it's just too good it really is I love playing with trucks and to have two growing trucks is really good to have two growing trucks and a yellow track is even better but you get that that's cool come and have a look towards the end it was dust coming in from leaks from the turbo pipes that upset more lives made of the most so I won't be feeding an intercooler even though I enjoyed the power the two of h2 is more powerful anyway and it's a whole lot smoother so I reckon that's going to pretty much sort those problems I've already got a high-flow turbo on it thanks to mtq more than enough you can see how much work the front bars done on Milo over the years now I've only had a couple of issues with it one of them was the lack of protection over the radiator area that meant I copped a bit of front panel damage well fortunately the ex rocks bar from outback accessories has got that and it protects my light forces as well and look where the rock lights are what a perfect position but I've still got all that deflection at the edges without all the weight absolutely perfect talking about weight of chuck Milo against plenty of rocks over the years and these bars have done the trick quite well but they didn't give me quite as much ground clearance as I wanted and there's a few other little issues with them too at the rear well we're working on that at the moment as you might be aware this bar has done really well it's been a terrific bar kind of ties the whole rear of the chassis together but over on male 2 as you can see that's just temporary temporary lights not protected even the number number plates covering the tail it's looking at something special there well I tried offers it like suspension and as everyone knows they don't make it anymore I reported it it's not working very well I wasn't the only one not very happy with it it's it's okay it's just average that's the problem and you know you really want more than average so I've got terrain tamer on male 2 and so far I couldn't be happier they're a much sturdier shock absorber without anything that can kind of break so I'm very happy there you know up top on Milo I had the old drum air filter the Donaldson with 3-inch pipe all the way and of course another Lord false light on frontrunner RAC some things don't change max tracks wouldn't go anywhere without them and see where the horns are and also see where the spare wheel is right up on the roof that's not so ideal is it and when you move over to male 2 well straight away I found out that the max tracks are in the wrong place I'm going to whack them on the side and then I found out that the little Donaldson's don't breathe enough so I got the big truck one up there but look the horns are back where they were because it works they're protected loud enough front runner rack everything's spot on there and you know I loved having my exhaust through to the roof on while I made it really differrent kept it out of the water all the good things but you know what when it came to male 2 I thought no I want a little bit more comfort I wanted a little quieter further away from my ears a whole lot closer to the hand brakes if she comes with me there's no suit yet putting the spares to Spears and the long range tank from Brandon Davis right in the middle meant there's 350 kilos right in the middle of the truck that is where you want it well you know what Milo looks like inside by now yeah it's great isn't it hey oh yeah comfortable hmm but some things did work and that was having all the consumables all the electrics right in the middle of the dash where I could look after them so we've done much the same with male 2 except this storm is really plush it's got you know insulation it's got those true fit mats it's it's just absolutely perfect in here it really is but look there you go again good old battery switches right behind the seat and all the consumables right in the middle of the dash so everything is wired up through the roof not very much chance of losing stuff and if you do you can fix it and of course this is a mechanical injection diesel I'll tell you what that length to bomb a panel oh I just love playing with that up the back and of course there's an angle in there dirty muddy baby's teeth still works great unless the hand breaks hat but in male 2 there's an Engel on an Engel slide this thing is awesome it's super solid for the first time in my life I've got a slide I can use and talking super solid get later the bush companies rhino cab these are the all aluminium jobs that we put over eight tons of timber on you might have seen that little clip to test them out after I did that I convinced myself I needed one that and the fact that it's dust free and so strong that I don't need a roll cage inside the cab it's just beautiful isn't it and so well made but get a later this a look at that plates bowls all stored beautifully this is the bush company for you really good gear and because it's more later it's got the best rooftop tent in the business the classic clamshell it's a quick it's like having a sleeper cab well so there you go there's a lot that's carried on through and there's a lot that's still evolving on both trucks and I guess that's the end part of this message and that is that this doesn't mean just because male 2 is up and running and doing really well that male ones out of the game not at all at the end of the day the old girl needs some work it's going to get it now but then she's back on the tracks too why is that because it's too much fun not to G what a silly question alright guys I'll see you up on a track somewhere I'll either be the guy in real comfort or the guy rocking it around with the rocks but it won't really matter will it either way it's going to be fun [Applause]
