Just a reminder... Don't forget about the reduction gears this time round 😉 Super excited to see the Sooty MKII build unfold!
Good luck Shauno, I did the same thing just over a year ago, cracked my chassis in my original turbo diesel 80, bought a petty auto, and converted it to turbo diesel manual. I didn't get the luxury of swapping electrical looms over as the original 80's loom I had, had been hacked around that much, that it was "easier" or so I thought to adapt the petty loom to suit, trust me, that's a job you don't want to do. Best thing I did "while I was at it" was take the bare chassis and have it professionally coated at place (over here in Perth) that coats underground mine vehicles, that way every single bit of the chassis get cleaned and coated, inside and out, also I did a GVM upgrade while I was at it as the car needed engineering for the mods, so, kind of silly not to. Great series, please do plenty of vids, the memories of doing mine are coming back already, good on ya
Separating the chassis and coating it is an extremely good idea
Also in perth about to do a chassis swap on my patrol, what's the name of the joint that you got the coating done?
@@corycampbell4583 they rust out because there boxed. 'c' section chassis dont rust..mates 80 also had seperated rad /dody/chassis mounts, very thin ''steel''. id be upgrading all those cracked points. there not meant to do what we do to them. extra plating on all mounting points. his radius mounts on diff just tore off. too much lift/twist. nissan dont do that. toyota have horizontal bushing on chassis. no flex. nissan,range rover, f series, have a ball type mount. no stress.. yeh,,,go toyota,,no thanks..
@@harrywalker5836 nissan gu coil cabs have the problem with the chassis on the drivers side near the sub tanks where they rust from the in side out due to something to do with the a aircon
Go through sooty and look at where it's cracked, beef those areas up right from the start.
For instance, the movement that will have resulted from those front body mounts breaking is probably responsible for the cracked guards etc. Welding in a piece of 3mm plate around those mounts to prevent that fatigue cracking will go a long way to improving its long term reliability.
You should also look at relocating the alternator up higher. You may be able to swap the alternator and AC positions.
Relocate all of the wiring and everything electrical possible to be above seat height. Anywhere you have to have electrical lower down use waterproof plugs.
Having done that, run vinyl floors and put a few drain points in it, that way you can just hose it out. Upshot is you'll also make it a lot harder to drown and cause electrical issues with.
Rear winch...
Diy gull wings...
It isn't a vdj the alternator is already very high compared to most and in the factory position it is very easy to clean and swap out roadside not to mention buying parts. Almost every workshop in Australia has Fanbelts, idler pullys and alternators to suit in stock
@@jarradblair1793 Normally I would agree with you, but Shauno is about as far from a typical use case as you're ever going to find for a road going vehicle. The fact he fills it full of mud every second trip is evidence enough of that.
I won't be moving mine, but you have to consider that he puts his vehicle through far more than we do. What mine sees in a year he does in a slow week. Nevermind Tassie.
But then the forces that cracked the mounts will go elsewhere. You could almost argue that an absorption method would be better.
Huge fan of vinyl and drains
Lol car is going to the dump, twisted chassis.
@@somerandom7215 these are upgrades for the new car
Put all the dirt from the footwell in sooty into a jar to keep because it literally has Australia in in it 🇦🇺

Auction it off.

Would be cool to see hoe much dirt they got out of sooty.
Auction off signed bits off Sooty to fans, sure it would go some way to fund the new build.
Better yet, put the proceeds from the auction towards flood affected communities.

I can't wait to see the build unfold old soot definetley needs it
Last videos I watched on this channel were the $300k chopped 200. This is way more relevant to my needs (budget). Interested to see this builds progress.
They'd charge you 2000$ AUD just to give a quote on those custom canopies for the other new cars they have. nice to see all angles are covered
It's sad 'cause I won't see sooty again I'll miss it but there's another look alike build and knowing that some parts from sooty are in it,I think it I'll be a consolation and I'll love it like i loved sooty.much love from Kenya.
We've all seen how you drive, while it's apart now might as well put a roll cage in it so that it keeps the chassis from bending and twisting and having to do all this over again in a few years not to mention all the added safety
I'm still a younging from South Africa 🇿🇦. I have recently got into off Roading and this channel has been such an amazing inspiration and a space for me learning...
I don't really have a group of mates that I can do it with. But the biggest thing I take from this channel is the the good memories that you can make with your friends.
I'm striving to create for myself financial freedom so that I can purse this passion of mine and ours.
One love 🇿🇦🇦🇺❤️
2 sooty is going to be a weapon, I’d put all the sound deadening on the floors and in doors and that and then put vinyl flooring down so it doesn’t go mouldy and rip.
I’ve never felt so many emotions about someone else’s car. Excellent work Shauno, I’d say you destroyed the original sooty as beautifully and slowly as possible. My 1996 Jeep Cherokee has cracks starting all over and I feel the end coming. It drives amazingly and I can’t imagine replacing it but at 283k miles I’m starting to see things that I can’t fix.
Frame stiffeners and tie in plates. Mine xj is on 37s and locked. It's been getting wheeled hard for 10+ years. They will do wonders for the un.
Do you have any cracking or did you install stiffeners early on? The joint between my b pillars and roof is starting to split. Track bar and steering box areas still look ok but my t case mount/ crossmember is about to crack in half. It was an Alaska jeep so I do have some rust. I’m trying to decide if I replace parts and keep her going or start looking for a new body to put my fresh parts on. It’s a family Jeep I’ve ridden in since I was 6 and it was brand new. It’s my absolute favorite vehicle of all time but part of me thinks it’s time to cut the losses and go for mark 2.
I added mine well after the carnage started. I tore my steering box through the mounts. Cracks in trans tunnel and above doors were pinch seem was. Also had cracks in rear frame rail by shackle mounts. I grinded out the cracks. Filled them with weld and added mid and front stiffeners. That was 8 to 10 years ago and honestly haven't had another issue with body flex or cracking. I to love my little xj and all the cool places we have went together. It's been to moab Utah. It's done the Rubicon. It's been all over the east coast. The xj is certainly part of my family. My 3 year old tells me it's his jeep all the time. Best of luck to you and I hope you don't give up on her yet. Mines at 401000 miles and going strong.
That’s fantastic, 401k is awesome. Is there anywhere I can see pictures of your set up? Theres something special about a good family vehicle. My 7 year old sits right where I did when I was that age. It was my Aunt and Uncles Jeep when I was little.
Early 80 series had smaller brakes and weaker front coil towers that bend very easy, would recommend cutting the ones from sooty and welding them onto sooty 2.0 or brace them. The bend upwards from the bump stops colliding.
its a 1fz-fe so that means it already has the bigger brakes. it changed when they changed from 3f to 1fz
@@gazza750 would likely still have the issue with the coil towers though
Pretty sure Sooty is a 91 and the 1fz didn’t come out until late 92/ early 93 so either way the replacement chassis and body are newer than the original.
Just wondering if the guys have ever touched on getting engineering certificates for heavily modded cars during the various builds. Like approximate of the time it might take to find a good engineer that will even talk to you seriously about your intended modifications, possibly ball park prices (could be hard to gauge though for different states etc) and small things people might forget that are needed to pass certification.
105 series Land Cruiser steering box upgrade and keep it a wagon. Love the wagon look on the 80 series.
damn, if the 105 box is considered an upgrade the 80 series ones must be real bad!
Am a huge fan from Kenya... I don't think there is any video you upload I don't watch... Can't wait to see the new build
That's awesome man, is there a big 4WD scene over there?
Put Rollover Protection or rollcage.
I filled every nook and cranny with Prolan. A product made here in nz basically from sheep's wool lanolin. My GQ saf will never rust. Applied with an "airboy" applicator gun and extension hose.. Good luck with the build Shauno..And thanks for the entertainment over the years..
I’m looking forward to the build Shauno. Thanks for keeping a budget in mind and keeping it a realistic venture for the commoners.
Should find a new name for it. It’s not sooty anymore. Accessories don’t really count.
Enjoy the build champ. Can’t wait to see the next episode.
Shauno you have had cruisers for as long as I've know you I sat on Grahams bonnet and the very original dirty 30 and tonight at the night I'm watching this you have motivated me to clean up my wiring and interior of my cruiser so I thank you for all the laughs and good memories from 4wd action when I was a little boy in nappys so I thank you and Graham cheers fellas
Australia's 🇦🇺 hardest work truck RIP.
Sooty mark 2 new memories 💪
Make the OG a garden feature 😎
Sorry for your loss mate. I could see it in your eyes and hear it in your voice early in the vid. It's tough loosing a member of the family.
New drinking game - have a shot every time Shauno says "bittersweet"
Deadset
I literally had this exact same, word for word thought hahaha
Also "and um"
i love the little stabs of the throttle and the look off "this dirty old petrol sounds alright" hahaha
Hey Shauno, I had an auto HDJ81 and did a manual conversion it wasn't at all easy. I couldn't see if your donor 80 was auto or manual but if it was auto there are a few things you should do while the dash and interior is out. !st thing is the clutch pedal box mount under the dash isn't there. the top one. 2nd the trans tunnel is different, I cut mine out and used the donor tunnel and made it bolt in, so much easier to get the box in and out. 3rd the gearbox x member captive nuts arnt in the chassis in the same place, man/ auto so i had to modify the x member and in NZ that meant a LVVTA cert was required. And as you have already addressed the loom was different. The drive shafts were different lengths. I had to get a new crank for my motor and at the time Toyota NZ had brand new 1HDT short blocks for 3.5 grand. I wish id seen that before i had spent a queens ransom reconing my old motor. Any way good luck mate, i'm glad its you you doing it. Cheers from NZ Phil
I've found it always pays to go genuine new Toyota parts and usually surprised how reasonably priced!
Yeah it was auto, but interesting that the trans tunnel is different as well.
@@MitchZero9 The openings for the levers were in different places. It was just easier to cut the tunnel top off and swap them over.
Mate fairly confident theyll just bolt the plates on and drive it, same color and all - only when its looked at closely will he be in strife.
Shauno, got an jdea for the interior:
Remkve the back seat and go a 3/4 full length false floor / draw system.
On the rear passenger side, put in another false floor basically a base and then mount an upright fridge - you cam the mount your redarc on tje drivers side.
25:45 The more GU Patrol parts you put in the better!🤣
Hey Shanuno, Not sure of you setup or what coolant your running. I'm building a 73 Bronco right now and I'm putting a 4BT it in. I learned that there are coolant filters with additives or you can just get the additive. This additive prevents cavitation in the water jackets and should help prevent those cracks in the liners. Hoping I like the 4BT, my backup is a mid 90's OM606.
Should put a hydraulic brake booster in it for some of those sketchy hill climbs
The vehicle looked like it was all one piece, but it really wasn’t. I’ve never felt so upset for someone else’s vehicle to just be taken apart and rebuilt into something we don’t have a clue of. Mr Whale and his 80 series have really put a smile on my face and inspired me to buy an 80 series as my first car (when I’m old enough). It was because of this car an 80 series is my dream. I’m sad and happy for you shaun and hope for the best. Cant wait to see the Mk2 of SOOTY.
I guess when you need a tough wheeler to go hard 4wding you switch to the obvious, Daryl.
Shawno, Hi from Arizona USA. Next time you get a wasp nest like that. Spray it with a mixture of Dish soap and water. Kills wasps faster than anything, stops them from flying and attacking you. Plus you won't risk catching anything on fire. I get about 3 nest a year around my place each summer and this works everytime.
Hi from tassie, I suggest bilge pumps in the vehicle for those soggy moments
Haven't read all the comments to see if this was mentioned yet but a better way to kill a wasp nest is just a bit of diesel in a spray bottle. They drop as soon as it hits them no need to build a torch and chance fire damage to wiring or other parts. Just a quick tip.
Sad to see sooty go but can't wait to see mk2 on the road after seeing what you did with the new dirty 30.
RIP Sooty … what a legend … nobody is surprised with the damage !
Tip for fitting the GU steering box: upgrade to a GU chassis and body at the same time. Sorted 👍
Thanks for sharing the adventure of building Sooty mk II with us. Greetings from Suriname and the Netherlands
Another one bites the Soot(a desiel's "dust"). Also R.I.P. Sooty "rest in pieces"
Poor Sooty! Sweet find on the petrol (gas here in the states) model! I’d done a few diesel swaps here and you’re going the right direction! I wish we had all the good diesel models here that you have there! As for the build goes, on my recent build I put Herculiner on the inside of mine after I had taken the carpet out. I still put the carpet back in but it has really cut down on the cabin noise! I would say that the Raptor liner would do the same job!
Flipped front radius arms for more clearance and more flex 💪
Its sad to see it like this
but we won't say goodbye
We'd say we'll
See u soon😊
Wish you all the best
Looking forward to it
For someone who changes their diff fluid every trip, think you should check some other things lol
Good to go on and check or change the heater and air con boxes while there's room. Also good to keep the diffs so you can see about swapping them to suit. Like one set lockers all around with manual hubs other set maybe just a rear locker and limited slip front with automatic hubs. Try out combinations while you have the spares available.
already missing the OG Sooty... is this one gonna be Too-sooty?
The slow and the sooty?
@@bengardiner4303 2 slow 2 sooty
"Too Sooty" is winning.
Great idea Jeremy
@@archmonks348 thanks arch
Very nice build!
As for the interior, if that was mine I would not put a carpet nor sound deadening. Clean the flooring and spray bed liner in there. That way it will be easy to clean and mud will not accumulate.
Here's a tip: Use antifreeze.
It helps a lot preventing corrosion.
RIP Sooty. You've been one heckava tough and dpendable rig. You will be missed 😢 But looking forward to seeing the Sooty Mk2 build. 👍
New drinking game - on this weeks video, every time Shauno says “bitter sweet” you have to skull a beer
Was thinking the same thing. Everyone will be pretty fucked afterwards 🤣
Take a shot for every um
Really sad to see Sooty being laid to rest, I have enjoyed greatly watching Shauno wield this magnificent machine in the most wildest places that OZ has to offer. Looking forward to seeing Sooty MK 2 build. Cheers to all the lads of 4WD 24-7 for the most amazing channel that's my happy place.
I'd strengthen what failed on the old sooty. The chassis, figure out how it twisted and toughen it up. Also the body mounts, see if there are some better aftermarket ones.
RIP Sooty Mk-1....thank you for your services...🙏
Can’t wait to see sooty back on the tracks rolling coal
Salute - to a truck and driver that USED IT as intended!
Always said an 80 with GU diffs, or a GU with a 1HDFT is the ultimate 4wd
Chuck GU diffs under it👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Pore sooty both you and me and everyone else have had some great memories with that car like 6 years ago when you very first came out with 4wd action rest easy big girl 👍🤙
gonna need a gvm upgrade to haul all that mud around
Man I can’t, cant, can’t wait to see the first walk around sooty mark II. I love sooty, first time I stumble upon the channel I got goose bumps listening to that rig scream. I’m a diesel kind of guy, I own two old mercs and just gives it so much character. I love all you guys, truly makes us laugh watching the show. Favorite part is watching the cooking part!!
Cheers 🍻
Hydraulic brakes and steering damper assist would be sweet to have
That's a good attitude. Reuse all parts you can from the good old Sooty to build the new one. Awesome idea!
22:33 Remember to give that dash support a coat of paint.
Good way to prevent internal rust.
I believe the wiper assembly will be bare metal as well.
Gonna miss that old truck! What a weapon. I’d recommend reduction gears and vinyl floor. The rest you got under control. Cheers from Canada!
Surely reduction gears and 37s for sooty mkii 🤓
I cannot wait to see the rest of this build
Love from Turkey 🇹🇷
Shauno neglected this car too much. It was the best car on the channel!
He had the donor car for 7 months. I'd guess they knew that sooty wasn't sensible to fix for some time(either the twisted chassis or body cracks) once it's that far gone there's not much point doing more than the very basics to keep it moving until its convenient to take it off the road.
Please go 1hdt again! We hear all about 1hdtfe engines allllllll the time and they are great, be great to mix it up. Plus then I can have tips for mine 🤝
I'd suggest a double GU diff conversion, double locked of course. Those things are strong!
Hi, reinforce the parts of the body that broke and chassis so doesn't twist, raptor the inside so you can wash the dirt after a trip.
Just a thought, wouldn’t it be cool if sooty mk2 was an auto. It would make sooty such a weapon.
He already has 2 autos very doubtfull he will build a third
You can sell stuff from her despite the condition or give away to fans so that she will always be remembered bro .... we'll miss her so much 😭😭😭 I'm sure fans will love parts from her with all of your signatures on it ....big love from 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
why don't you fix all the faulty things that failed on the old one, reinforce the body mounts etc. reinforce the chassis so it's not flopping around and tearing the body apart.
Rewelding a whole chassis and fixing those cracks is an incredibly time intensive project that requires a complete stripdown of the body to the metal.
@@Dubst3pT3ch i'm not talking about fixing the old rooted chassis. i'm talking about fixing the design flaws in the new chassis and body so it takes longer to end up like the old one. because when this ones finished he won't be finding another one for 4k to run into the ground.
@@6226superhurricane keep in mind the last one lasted 600,000ks before all this had happened, and it had a very hard life to get to the state it's in so probably not worth it
Thats a time were you think how lucky you are to see some parts of our country that alot of people can't. Can't wait to see Sooty.2, and hope is a Luxy.
The best possible mod to make is to sell the 80 series and buy a Mighty Triton
You'd have to be kidding
My off road vehicle is rather unconventional by the standards around here, but has taken me to some crazy places. It is a 1961 VW Kombi bus we call the Rustybus. I do an off road trip with friends every year called the Shasta Snow Trip. After 20 years doing that trip and others the body has been showing cracks like Sooty has and finally this year after a particularly challenging section of road I found that the frame had cracked all the way through behind the front suspension. It still got me to the next town (that consisted of a tiny country store and nothing else) where I managed to talk to the locals and found a guy who drove over in his Porsche out from the woods and TIG welded the frame back together, for free(I did give him some cash to say thanks), filling a gap of almost 1 cm or more. I then caught up with my buddies having only missed two sections of the route and finished the next two days of the trip. We added some plate steel to reinforce it after the trip and I hope to address the other little cracks before it goes the way of Sooty.
Reduction Gears and Portal Axles. This will make Sooty an absolute weapon.
Can't wait for Sooty mark 2....Good luck on your new built...cheers🤙
Sad to see sooty go. Been watching you guys for years and sooty was always my favorite rig
sooty was my dream 80 and i am glad that you are making a mk2 but its still a very sad day RIP Sooty
Sound deaden the inside and bed liner the floor pan helps keep the mud out and clean up easy
Sorry to see Sooty go :( Been doing up a HJ75 ute with my dad and we’ve just pulled out the big 2H and we’re getting ready for a 12HT swap in. The 2H was the soul of the ute and it was sad when it broke down on the side of the road. Hope my build goes as well as Sooty mk2 does!!
Thanks for the segment with the mechanic! That crack - woah! Good ol' Toyota made it, though!
I would LOVE to see a Hi-Lo series on 4WD 24-7. Two identical vehicles with one getting top end parts and other cutting all the corners. I vote Shauno get's the Lo!
Hi Shauno. Why can't that diesel block be resleeved? In South Africa, we bore out the old sleeves, or press them out, witchever one is used for that block, and then new standard sleeves are pressfitted with standard pistons. Don't they do it in Australia? Just asking....
I'm loving this already. Sooty mk 2 would look sick with dual snorkels loving it shauno can't wait for Sooty last trip aswell
With the interior, since it is bare. How about raptor the interior cabin? How much would adding raptor help with sound deadening and wear and tear? I've seen some trucks remove the carpet lining in the floor, not sure if after raptoring the floor if it would be quieter than the standard floor liner. Would it make it quiet enough? Would it be lighter or heavier with raptor over liner and sound deadening materials?
I did a big sad when the dirty 30 was retired. That being said the 30 mkII was worth it! Excited to see how old soot goes!
Wow, haven't even finished the episode and already found so many spot to clean that don't get the attention.. cheers mate 🤙🤙
Raptor line the interior floor . Lay it thick and it helps with sound deadening and you can put in som drain plugs so you can still clean the inside .
Absolutely spewin that it’s getting torn down but can’t wait for the bigger and better things to come. Going to be good to watch, having a few cold ones.
A ROPS cage would be a great idea.
The other thing I'd suggest is chassis re-enforcement, around all the attachment points.
Chassis wash system to flush out the salt water, rust Protection, body mount plating. Put a fine tooth comb over the old body and see where it cracked and do a bit of preventative maintenance during the build. as well as plate over any superfluous holes
I’m here for the part out. I need that water to air in my life.
No way. I am currently rebuilding my 80 1fz-fe. Send me some parts! Haha, I thought mine was bad but sooty has seen better days
You could convert a aircon pump into a air compressor and fit it on the engine with a hidden tank anywhere so you always have air to go for air tools or inflating wheels. Can also clean and seal up a front or rear bar and put a tap on it for clean water or just water when you need it.
I still remember one of the episode, It's Shauno's 3rd attempt on Commando and Sooty just crawled up no problem.. Sooty will surely be missed but I can't wait to see the new and Improved Sooty MK2
So when and where did sooty get so damaged? Haven't watched recent videos so I don't know where to watch if the accident was recorded. Thanks
Yes sooty deserves it so much it's taken you all around Australia and back
Nice one shauno, exited for this series! Sad to see old sooty go though!
You should definitely raptor the whole body again. But please PLEASE can you do a different colour? A gloss black maybe? Or even a gloss land rover forest green, would look great!
Definitely think you should raptor line all your bar work again to, but just to bring that next level up, color match them to your car! I'm doing that with me new 2022 Jimny build.
Renew all the body mounts. Fresh rubber will help absorb vibrations etc better than old hardened ones. Reinforcing just moves the failure point somewhere else.
