Taking a 79 Series Landcruiser bonnet and cutting it out, re welding it into a Nissan Patrol bonnet! This is going to be EPIC!

The quality of your work for what is a backyard setup is top notch. You have a great all round knowledge. Well done. I don't own a 4by nor am I looking to but I still watch all your content. Thanks for the real content not filled with expensive rigs that no one could ever afford, be that 20 Landruisers in your collection or $300K F-Trucks. I always trust a bloke working in hi sback shed wearing crocs any day! Cheers!😁
Wow thanks mate, I really appreciate it! I do try to keep it as real as possible so it’s great to hear! Thanks a lot 👌🤙
Just a tip with sikaflex, I work with the shit daily. Best thing to do to stop it sticking is glass cleaner, windex or home brand makes no difference. Once you’ve applied it and you’re happy with the general location and just want to smooth it out/clean it up, spray the absolute shit out of it with glass cleaner, and do the same with your glove. It will allow you to manipulate it mess free so long as there is always glass cleaner inbetween your glove and the sikaflex. It takes a bit of practice to get right but I promise you it works better than anything and you won’t regret learning how to do it.
Love the cruiser bonnet on GQ look. Great vid showing how you've done it. Nice work!
Looks really good when it’s done hey! Thanks for the comment 👌
“Right I’m done all the gaps, I didn’t do a very good job. I actually did a very bad job.” 😂
Love the honesty, Great Episode 👌🏻
😂😂😂 I wasn’t happy with it that’s for sure ! Thanks mate 🫶
Well done - a great mod.
Your USA viewers must be wondering about that funny guard thingo on your grinders😅
Great work Tom! Im keen to see how the grill looks now with the new scoop. You are right about the best part of a 79 series. This build is going to be epic when your done! Hopefully you can find your way to a barra or ls to make this a real monster!
Thats a legit job on that bonnet. Body shops probably wont do a job like that most of the time. Career change maybe?
Not a bad idea mate. If it means you gotta let more air into the engine you’ve done alright It’s always good to see someone coming up with new ideas good on ya hope it all goes well for you I like your idea, mate 👍🏻🇦🇺🍺🍺
Thanks mate! Definitely gonna flow some air now!! 👌🤘
No worries mate. It’s good to see what you’re going to turn this truck into mate. I like what you’ve done so far. You’ve given me some ideas for my GU
patrol. she’s a 1998 model. can’t wait to see your next video mate to see what you have done. 👍🏻🇦🇺🍺🍺
Well done man, bout to do mine I'm glad I came across this so I can learn from your experience 👌
Love a bit of ingenuity Tom, as always you're the king of thinking outside the square! Noice! 💪👍✌️
Thanks Paul! Appreciate it mate 👌
Hey roam, absolutely loving the build so far, the work you are able to do with the little time and equipment you have is very inspiring! A little tip with applying silicone is to get brake cleaner or soapy water and put that on your finger before shaping the silicone and it’ll give it a much nicer finish!
Loving ur work mate🤙
cheers for your vids mate, enjoying the journey
Thanks for the comment mate , appreciate it 🤙
Nice job Mate. Cant wait to drive past this beast on the road
It’s got me buggered how they used to do stuff like this back in the day with the good old stick welders
Keep up the good work mate 👍🏽
Frothing mate! This build is epic!
Yewww thanks bro!
Valiant effort, you've outdone me, I've always said I had the best bit of a cruiser attached to my Series 5 GU, I took the rear step from our old 76 wagon and turned it to a step on my GU as we're both short arses and needed a step up to our GU rear storage system.
It gets a lot of comments, I take pride in saying I took the best of our 76 and added it to our Patrol, haha the shitty rear step twas the best bit of a 76.
I'm yet to get a Colorado scope for our GU, same as you did previously. Seen plenty in vehicles parked up, temptation, nah - hell yeah.
Currently in Darwin avoiding winter down home, try wreckers here for one.
Get yourself some 3m cubatron discs they’re a bit more expensive but they save soooo much time grinding. I’m a boilermaker and they’re worth every cent. I’ve done a few 79 scoop chops both pre dpf and new on a few different cars including 105’s 80’s , GQ’s and a trio. and did it all pretty similar but instead of fitting the scoop inside the bonnet skin like you did I overlapped mine about 20mm.
Great video mate!
Thanks legend 🫶
Great video good to see something new on UA-cam not a copy of others
Thanks Leighton! 👌
Great Job so far, can't wait to see the end result.
What size amp welder did you use by the way? and Brand? Are you happy with it?
Good effort
Looking good, should just raptor coat the underside
U made my Siri activate 🤣
When u gonna get a cruiser ? Ahah love the vids bro
Definitely on the cards at some point 😂
The best and only good part😂😂
😂😂😂 shots fired
Use soapy water when using sikaflex. Stops it sticking to your gloves and helps control the spread so you get a better looking product at the end.
Thanks bro! Will definitely do that next time, was a mess 😂 I needed the pointy nozzle thing too 😞
Nice work. Makes the bonnet b heavy but looks really good. Welding is a must cause glue or rivets result in cracks, as I found out.
Oh you tried the fibreglass route? I’ve seen so many cracked over the years! Although metal is a lot more work it’s certainly going to be strong!
Game haha, I'd of got another gq bonnet just incase
Land cruiser plastic badge is considered as the better part too.
😂😂😂 that can go on the rear
shit yes❤
👍🏼👍🏼

Anyone else’s Siri answer🤣
😂😂😂😂
What's the point of this mate surely your not going top mount cooler?
Basically jsut for more airflow into the engine bay! Also looks the part 👌
@@RoamLyfe you wanna suck the air out, that scoop would work better backwards, you basically pressurise the engine bay like this and it slows air coming through the radiator, have a look at how the Arabs do there bonnets, there all designed to get hot air out mate, as far as looks go I recon it would actually look good backwards
Also I should have mentioned I've got a Barra patrol an have messed around with bonnet and factory scoop blocked off and measured engine bay temps
So true but lol
😂😂😂😂😂
You disgust every self respecting patrol owner
😂😂😂 it’s like a hunters trophy on the bonnet, I’ve taken the life of a Landcruiser
