White Mountain trip starts at 5:53

We took a few day trip up to the White Mountains, NH. But before we could go I had to fix a coolant leak. I needed a new O-ring for an oil cooling water pipe. I'll also break down how work on an engine with a tilt cab truck that doesn't tilt, haha.

  • I did not know the panel under the drivers seat comes out, I have a leaking pipe on that side. Looks like a badly done join in diesel inlet or return line. Now I know how to get to it. Not done much work on my Isuzu NHS; changed the brake fluid, did the fuel filter, and cleaned out water heater and ordered a new cathode. Its been a bit hot 42.0c - 109 Fahrenheit on Christmas day. Still not tackled the cambelt or water pump. Thanks for the inspirational videos Bobby.

    Absolutely envious of your Elf. I’ve been thinking of getting JDM camper for awhile now. For some reason I’ve always been drawn to the Isuzu’s. I would love to see a tour and a walkthrough of what you’ve done to it. Love the vids and the awesome mobile!!

    VERY helpful video! Thank you for filming this! I don't yet have a leak at that point but I already bought an entire 4JG2 engine seal set off ebay. It was the only place I could find one. I also need to replace my diesel heater. It is inop at this time but I am most likely going to replace with a Chinese new model.

    Thanks for that access tip mate-brilliant! I have a weep on the turbo oil return pipe due to some previous bodgery , this will help no end! Hope you still have yours??
  • Same process as working on my HiAce, not difficult but time consuming to get access. Hey, could do with some cold weather over here in hot Australia😀

    Thanks for the videos, love seeing the Elf in the snow. I have an Elf in Oz, 4x4 auto and not had to engage full off road drive yet Fitted a garret turbo to the 4JG2 but no intercooler, helped with the torque at 2000 rpm What size rims and tires are you running on the rear, mine are the smaller duals. Keep the videos coming Great job

    Does the van come with some form of water heating to stop pipes from freezing, that or your go to winterizing ideas? Do you use your taps and shower in the winter etc?

    You answered my question in this video. Trying to find parts for the Nissan Atlas is not easy. I have had to order parts out of Japan, but I see you are getting parts here in the U.S. Maybe the Isuzu is the better way to go with the Japanese campers.
