By the way thanks for all the welfare check messages while we were away !! We really missed putting out weekly videos but we just had alot going on in our lives at the time. We are stoked to be back and can't wait to show you the videos to come!
Awesome Aussie Arvos
Great to have you all back. Looking forward to seeing your adventures. Cheers
Welcome back lads
Good to see you back
Glad y'all are back. You actually inspired me to start selling all my old unfinished projects and start on the ones that I really wanted.
Building stuff from scratch is why this channel is above and beyond 4wd24/7. It’s not a bunch of high dollar, bolt on mods. It’s left over ply, some sweat, and ingenuity. This is the kind of stuff the world needs, how to do things well without breaking the bank. I’m impressed! So so impressed. I wish I had of done the marine carpet idea, when I did my first box, 10 years ago! I can’t wait for the second version of this that will come out in a few years, when you’ve bought a metal break, and you do the same thing in aluminum! 10/10!!
Note that your content is influencing a 47 year old father of 4. Not just the younger generation. Well done guys and keep up the brilliant work
Same same
Thanks mate!! appreciate you watching the videos!
Same here mate. Although I’m a little older with less kids and just bought my first decent 4x4 💪🏼😊
Plus a 55yo father of 3 with a HDJ81,,,,
Even the younger dads 24 with 2 boys here just a lifted 4.5 80 series for the moment hoping to go ls1 next year just like my dads 80 😂😂
Another awesome video. I love the whole DIY stuff you guys are doing. So much more relatable then other 4x4 channels. Thanks guys
Thanks Adam! Yeah that's part of the reason it takes alot of time to get a video out, but we love doing it!! Cheers
One of the most practical 80 build I’ve seen. Well done Patrick you have set it up just about as perfect it can get for a couple. And once it’s time for a child can easily unbolt the shelves and bolt the rear seat back in.
Very nice love the emu wings, I prefer glass aswell, and that storage solution is way cool 😎
Thanks Jay! Yeah it turned out way better then I expected!
The easy talk through and camera angles etc make it easy for anyone to follow what ever you guys do.
BTW congrats on the achievement from UA-cam.
Thanks mate! appreciate it!!
welcome back boys. the windows make sense, and the storage area is just downright awesome.😀👍
Thanks mate! yeah turned out really well!
What I like about this channel is the can do positive attitude - making life easier on the road takes effort , and it isn’t easy , but it is absolutely worth it - it’s not just the tools , it’s the hands that guide the tools , Well done fellas, good luck on your adventures :)
On my 93 D .. I use Corflute to press inside rear windows when out in the Bush .. and I cover them with my stickers .. privacy when away, Clean and original when in town 😊
Great educational vid and the only opening window I'd consider 👌
Glass is definitely the way to go. Looks amazing, doesn't hurt your visibility, great choice.
Fantastic DIY episode. 👍 These are next level upgrades to your 80 Series. Loving the practical and sensible upgrades. I too am for reversible mods. 👌 This episode is another example why you guys now have over 100k subscribers. Congratulations 👏👏 Looking forward for what's up ahead from you guys.
Thanks HammerRocks! that really means alot mate! cheers :)
I could say what an amazing job of the storage but that would be boasting about myself too. I did a similar setup in my old NM Pajero. 3 drawers and fridge slide in the back and false floor with storage and dog seat in the middle row, all carpeted and fully removable. You have the same idea as me to make it removable using the existing anchor points. Love the emuwings too. Wish they had them for my Grand Cherokee.
Great to see you back and looking forward to more mods a trips. Keeping it real.
You guys do amazing content, whether it's DIY, trips, tips, camping or anything else it is great. And to see that you don't need to spend heaps to make quality equipment gives me heaps of inspiration. Thankyou
Thanks Michael! that really means alot man! that's it! cheers :)
Great to see you back
Thanks mate!
Congratulations on the 100k fellas well deserved!
Thanks Guys!!! Means alot!!
Good to see you boys back, appreciate the content champs.. looking forward to see the rigs out on the tracks
Thanks mate!
Great work again boys. Your parents must be super proud seeing their boys create this stuff together. Legends in the making. 4wd version of Mighty Car Mods. Keep it up 👍
Thanks mate! means alot! its great fun!
So glad that you guys are back, one of my favorites to look forward to!
Thanks Sam!
Legends!
Great job , there is nothing better than being organised and it will makes trips so much easier. Great that you done this yourself as you can make it perfect for you 🤠👍👍
That's it! Makes it so much better on the road ! Cheers Shad!
Looks great lads
Welcome back guys i have missed your awesome video's. Its good to be busy.
Nice work, lads! Another helpful DIY vid. Wish gulwings were avail before I sold my old 100 series..
Im thinking of going back to a wagon, and this is giving me inspiration for the change back. 🤘🏻
A little tip for ply to try and water proof it is to get some Bond Crete and mix it 5 to1 or 10 to 1 with water and put on a few coats. It will soak into the time and seal it and act as an etching agent as well.
I will definitely be using this idea for storage 🤙🏽
Keep up the awesome work boys keen to see what future content comes 🤙🏽
Thanks Koupar!
Great work, very impressive! Great to see you back, can't wait to see the next video.
Thanks John!
Bout bloody time guys! 😁
Only joking. Great to see you back on the channel and those gullwings look absolutely mint.
Looking forward to your next ep!💯
Love it boys!
Looks amazing
Good job, bro!
Great stuff. I use square aluminium tube and much lighter ply as it cuts the weight down a lot. May?? need extra supports but remember your not carrying heavy waits in there or on top. There are also better products to use rather than carpet. Look at what auto trimmers use like what gets use for roof linings. Lighter, easier to fit with stretch, and looks better. It isn't as hard wearing but for what you have built is would be good.
Instead of using nails to hold the carpet, look at a staple gun being hand held or the air tool. Bang bang bang and your done and easier to remove if needeed.
Love what your doing.
Looks sick as!
Suggestion: could you add a brace from the top of the unit over to the jesus handle bolt locations to secure it to stop swaying etc
Welcome back, this old bloke has been missing your weekly videos.
Thanks boomer! glad to be back!
Thanks Guys ,enjoyed the video .Storage area in the back came up really well. Keep em coming !👍👍🍻🍻
Thanks Mark! means alot!
welcome back boys! im 38 with a GQ TD42. love watching your videos for both ideas for my rig and also where you guys escape to. bring on 2024!
Cheers Shane!!
Brilliant. Love how that back seat storage set up turned out
Thanks Jason, i was stoked!
That’s wicked well done 👍
Looks bloody mint Pat. Super practical. Keen for whats next, been missing the vids ✌️
Cheers mate!
wow very interesting experience friend
Nice work 👏 👌
Good call waiting for the glass emu wings, so much nicer to look at, came up a treat.
So good guys, another ripper, glad to see you back
Thanks mate!
You guys are awesome! Keep up the great work and content 🤩
Thanks mate!!
Thats tidy mate well done. I agree RE glass gully wing, good call
Cheers Roo, yeah I love the look and practically!
You and I have the same principles when it comes to modifying our 80 Series. Any major changes must be reversible. And I too like to keep the factory look of the 80 for as much as possible. That's why I haven't gone and changed the headlights to a more modern LED type that I see a lot of. I simply replaced the bulb to an appropriate LED type and kept the factory look headlights. You guys continue to make great DIY videos that are both informative and captivating to watch. Fantastic upgrades to the 80. The drawers definitely looked like a bought one. 👍
Thanks Fatman! Yeah having it all reversible just makes me sleep better at night! i mean one day i might want to change it all up, or a better solution might be available. It gives me the chills drilling into dashes and such hahah, and yeah i agree i think the 80 series look will be timeless in itself, many of the parts of the vehicle have lasted the 32 years of its life, no need to change them !
for anyone still with the slide windows graphite powder works great for making them slide open/close really easy
Good tip!! Definitely still have there place too, especially if you carry passengers back there !
@ryanquaddy9964 Thanks for the tip
Big improvement !
Thanks Peter!
This is seriously so damn cool. Very well considered design and it looks like it suits the intention very well. Awesome video!
Man everytime I watch these videos I get excited and go look at my garage to see what I can make today. Great stuff as always fellas
Thanks Hugeg!
That storage is freeking 10/10 mate !!!
GREAT JOB !!
Thanks mate!! means alot!!
God to see you guys back 😊
Cheers Keil!
Stoked boys! Was chuffed to see a new episode from you! Looks mint as. Well done 👌
Thanks mate!
You're back!
& okay!!
I wake up every Sunday morning, anticipating a new Aussie Arvos video to watch, while I enjoy my Sunday morning mug of Joe. Was wondering if you all were dealing with a tragedy in the family or something.
I have also been holding off buying gullwings for my 80s as I wanted a factory look glass one. I gave up & eventually bought windows from a DX to make my own for a future project. Let's see what you've done Pat
Thank you Michah!! Everythings good here! just had a lot going on in the background! Thanks for watching !
great ideas!
Mint! Congrats on finishing uni. Keen to see what's next for AussieArvos. Flinders Ranges or Googs Track trip on the cards surely?
Well done, I have been looking for ideas for our 200 series.
Love it well done guys. Now show us some trip videos
Love it mate, very nice. Literally the only annoyance is having to individually lock the wings.
Well done 👍
Thanks Chris!
Love the wagons
Great stuff mate, keeping the mrs happy makes camping much more enjoyable so really the best mod you could have done
That's it!
Congratulations on reaching 100,000 subscribers 🎉
Thanks Robert!!
13:35 As a professional cabinetmaker I would disagree 😂, good effort though. Furniture grade ply and Varnish looks way better than carpet.
Hell yeah. I was planning on doing something similar in the back of my dc hilux to make a platform for my dog. Had no idea how to start until seeing this! Thanks fellas.
Thanks mate!! glad it could help!! cheers!
nice work mate
Been to long brother, missed ya, welcome back 🎉 slide windows /tub windows drive me insane, cool bro, don’t b a stranger
Great work mate looks epic 👍🇦🇺🍻
Thanks!
Wow looks like some awesome content coming up. Keep it up boys. Now I’m looking at emuwing for my patrol because you made it look so easy
Thanks Kym! yeah its a really straight forward job!
Nothing brightens up my day more than a new Aussie Arvos video
Cheers mate!!
Good job
Great job on the storage system mate. It came up really good, nice, neat & tidy.
Thanks Mick!
@AussieArvos no dramas mate. Might have to get you up into NSW to rebuild my Pajero layout lol. I've just given it a make over and still not happy with the drawer system, they are better but not 100% happy lol.
Chuck a fire extinguisher on the front wall, looks neat as. Ripper fab job by liam
Love the wings in glass they will go on my 80 that just had a factory blueprint on the motor at 500K, the car has now original spec, amazing.
That’s grouse both the emu wing and the new storage box’s will make life so much easier. Love the channel can’t wait for more content 👌
Thanks Jaspar! yeah its aweomse! so happy with it!
I love the gull wings. I'm going to get some the same as those.
Carpet looks sweet, beautiful ❤
Yeah turned out well!
Always enjoy your video's guys. You both come up with some good idea,s cheers
Cheers mark!
Liked the video boys. Great DIY. The addition of the kings pockets was a great idea. Interested in what the blind spot viaibility is like though.
I've got a bit of a gap so I can just peek out passenger window, but not as good before, definitely have to use the mirrors a bit more, but as I mentioned this is all modular, so you'd only have the full system in for those bigger trips 👌
legends
glass emu wing is unreal! I've always looked at those Yodateq glass ones but being in Aus was too hard to get. good to know I can get an emu wing glass one now.
That 80 is looking mint
Cheers!
I see your rocking the olights, my dad is addicted to them, also goy a couple myself, enjoyed the vid, keep up the good work guy's
Looks blutty good 👍
Cheers mate!!
Nice video mate, your 80 is very similar to mine. I always like seeing what other blokes are doing to theirs. One thing though, your overweight. When I did my lap a few years ago, I had a fair few mechanical issues, and weight and stress where a big factor. I cracked the rear diff tube where it meats the pumpkin, luckily I found it on my daily checks. Just remember these cruisers are getting older and fatigue is kicking in.
Great work boys and girl's
Thanks Leighton!
congrats on the 100k guys. nice to c u both bak with lots coming up. nicely done with wat u have done with the bak seat area. hows Dan going.
Thanks Stephen! his going great, his got a video coming up in a couple of weeks!
G'day guys, well done, just food for thought. I done similar to my GU a couple years ago, and am now this week actually changing, due to a long trip me and the missus done a few weeks ago, the issue was, not allowing the passenger seat to recline enough for the missus to have a nap or just veg out, when I first made it, I got her to try it out and she loved it. But after a while things change, so just maybe food for thought. I used KMart 7 dollar plastic draws as inserts that worked a real treat. And actually allows to pack clothing enough for long hauls without packing too much. It forces you to be mindful on how much you take. I have a pick but looks like I can't upload, shame oh well
Thanks for the info phill, we did some testing with the chairs to make sure we would be comfy with the amount of adjustment, and while we are happy now, it's definitely somthing to think about when putting in a false floor!
What's the weight of you car sitting at now ??
Love the content guys, its authentic, relatable and always practical. A great build but very unsafe IMO, all that plywood, objects and weight very close to your back neck and head. If that was my rig I would move the safety barrier hard up against the front seats so it can protect you :)
That looks mint as, good stuff. I always make stuff reversible too.
It's probably not an issue but one thing I think is always good to have when you loose the ability to use your rear view mirror is a digital one that comes with a camera to mount on the back. I drive a Hilux ute with a fully enclosed tool box (cant see anything with that box) and got a digital rearview mirror for when I tow a trailer, yeah you can just use your side mirror but having that rear vision back makes all the difference
Yeah i reckonnit would be really useful! ill look into it!
Love your work, any more detail on how loan got the dog leg folds in the flat bar?
Epic mate! Did you manage to stay within GVM or you running an upgraded one?
awesome job lads well done..............i know its contentious and probably an own goal if you did it...but love to see the result over a weight bridge.
Note you can use a spray on adhesive for a quicker application
G'day boys. Nice to meet you at the Melb 4x4 show. You need to get a digital reverse mirror now. They are a couple of hundred bucks and are so good when you block out your rear.
And G'day to Anya as well!
Thanks Curt, likewise! agreed! i reckon it would be well worth it cheers !!
Thanks guys, love watching your videos, could you please tell me where you got your water tank from please??
Hope it was online.
Hip hip hooray. More touring and more mods vids please?.. Cheers fellas 👌
Heaps coming !! more on this soon ;)
Them emu wings look great gee i need them on my 80series, you made it look easy to install hope it is , how much do they cost and no rust behind the seals your a blessed man 😊 and now more storage space thats fantastic bloody good job 👌
Thanks David, yeah they are super straigh forward to install, helps having a second person to attach the wing tho! they are 2k for the pair,
Great video guys,can i ask if you have to now get it engineered as a two seater? In NSW apparently you do.
