The "good to see me" joke at the start is underrated 😂 Jock is an absolute character
Lol Tims face..."you too"
I'm using that 😅
Jocks humour is definitely under rated love that bloke
I was like what joke and then i heard it, that was gold😂
The MIT's 79 would have to be my favourite. She's got a few stories that big girl
The start cracked me up
They were really trying not to laugh😂
Big love from 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹Trinidad and Tobago🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 love all those vehicles ... The MITs 79s is a LEGEND 🎉🎉🎉
Imagine the 79 without spring hangers holding it up ❤
That new Ranger setup is so nice. That is my absolute dream rig, just so damn expensive.. Rough estimate probably $100k for the car + $50k ish for the canopy & all the accessories and upgrades. Can almost buy a house with that amount of money.. Before you even went on a single adventure. Now you also need to count insurance, fuel, service/maintenance.. I guess I'll just go camping with a supermarket trolley.
While it is a lovely setup I’d be slightly concerned about actually going on some tuff trails with this. The cost of breaking things on new cars in unreal plus all the possible electrical issues you can face with such a kitted car… I’d love it myself but I think you really have to think about what you want to do with it. An older 4wd definitely has its advantages being simpler and not so much electronics
@@Hopex_JZXMarkIIJZ i wouldn't bring that rig near a tough trail. It's build for touring and towing, not thrashing it on harsh trails.
Would love to hear a rough cost of each canopy set up! Its one thing that is never covered.
Prices are on their site mate, depends on what combo you put together.
tray is 15 grand 8 grand for the canopy + what you want
@@midx13 😵
Severely overpriced
@@whiteunicornDR659I think that’s AUD not USD. Still extremely expensive, but also a lot less in USD.
Not many infomercials I’ll happily sit through, but this is definitely one.
Agree with the parts comment, they will be easier soon as the growth is huge
The Mits 79 is about the only reason I watch the channel, can someone please pull their finger out and get a proper high clearance rear spring setup into that thing! Westralia 2 leaf pack and hi clearance plates and shocks to suite etc.
LOVE LOVE the Mits products and staff. If I can build a tourer (if Mits would ship to the US of course) I would absolutely use their products!
The dog box setup is elite 👌🏼first saw it with “This is Liv’n” and been dreaming of one for my Hilux ever since
I used to work for the Caterpillar dealership in my state, never ever buy an ex Caterpillar work vehicle because we thrash them from new we don't even run them in, we wore a 87 hilux diesel 4x4 out that much that when we rebuild the engine it went from standard cylinders to maximum in its first build, ie we stuffed it real good.
The 79 is sick
Love MITS canopies, so glad they're in the US now, just need to save enough money to actually get one!
You could get someone to custom fabricate you one for less $
I sure wish we had these setups in Canada
They're getting over here in the US, you should be able to get your hands on them now.
@@secret5. Yep, I've seen them in the West. My concern is theft. Can't have it in a city.
I would want the 79 we here in the USA love that forbidden fruit
Already got the keys to a ram, I'd probably go back to the 70series as I'm not a tech guy or a ford man but luvin the canopies!!!!!
Id take that Ram in a heartbeat! Having the extra power from the 5.7 Hemi, the extra room in the cab, and more stable towing is premium!
Y62 all the way. Not too massive, plenty of power with a tune and exhaust, and half the price.....!
@@alistairwhite2906 you know what they say about opinions! Yours fits. You can tune that 5.7 Hemi just as easily as you can the Y62, so... strait out of the gate, 5.7 Hemi all day, every day!
If I was to upgrade my 2021 BT50 I’d be going Next Gen to tow our van. Great options for GVM/GCM upgrade
What about rockets 79. He hammered that thing especially up in the Kimberly
I'd pick the big 79 Jock! Anyday of the week!
Love the 79
Moab! Moab! Moab!!....Lol it's gotta be gotten close hey?.......great vid btw 😉👍
I have the ram. I would love to one day get that setup for the rear
I like mits a lot just don’t know what fits my needs best yet. Whether it’s just a tray with sideboards or 1000/1500mm dual cab canopy just for extra storage maybe couple drawers/ shelves while vehicle pulling a 12’ trailer that has the tent/ kitchen
The 79 series is set up for Shauno's cooking , 4 rolls of toilet paper. LOL
They are awesome! I'm just sad I'd never afford it.
I wana see that new ranger out on a few trips
Thank you Jock for your joke idea....😀😃...never thought of it before....
We love seeing the mits alloy boys 💪
I love my Ram 1500 so I'm partial to Ram but the others look like fun.
Let's see the Ranger hitting up some real tracks.
love me a Ranger, all day long
Nice rigs but sadly for most of us it's only a dream, cost of living and mortgages.. will never be able to drive a high end rig.
Can you guys please show the pricing for most of these canopies/setups the next time you make new videos? Thank you in advance
Next Gen Ford Ranger 💪💪
Laughs in four door long bed f-250 at the dodge being called long 😂 greetings from USA
I would like to see the ram and those dual cabs out in the bush
So cool
I thought the Toyota tax was to prevent this kind of repair bill 🤔
Usually Toyota owners have the most money 😂
If I was to pick , got to say have to be the 79 , they just look the part , rough and ready and then the sound of that 8 it just screams thrash me .
Mits 79 all day!
Don't worry about the new laws coming to stop what you love doing. She'll be right.mate
I would take the ram only cos I love the ram and have done for many years
Wildtrak for sure !!!
I'd love to know what bull-bar is on the Ram. It looks great.
In the mits 79 or in any car with the mits ultimate could you power both fridges with the ultimate system?
I'd go the 79 but considering the fam and the dogs the BT might be the G O for me :)
Anything would be better than a triton
@@AdmissionGaming LOL, at least I'm out there :p
@@TritonAdventures-AU I had a triton thing kept breaking down, overheating, gearbox replaced 3 times. I sold the thing in the end was too nervous to take it anywhere offroad.
@@AdmissionGaming Yeah any car can be a lemon. Sorry to hear that mate. With me, 2 years I've had since new and so far so good.
What wheels are on the next gen ranger? Do they poke out of the archs?
Az definitely looks like the sort of bloke that drives a ranger.
I like the Rangers set up, but the previous gen Ranger coil spring upgrade was strange to see. Would it change GVM for the better, surely not or am I a miss.
If I had the keys to one of these vehicles I would talk the Ram
What brand of fridge do you use
I would buy the land cruiser 79 series
The MITS 79 series still the best..
I would chose the big F250 👌
awesome
Hey Toyota 24/7 surely try out more different/ older cars in videos
They probably would if car companies just gave them rigs to kit out.
@@TheLazyGamerAU can pick up plenty of second hand rigs- I’m not talking about brand new
There are nine but I'm am very interested toyota Tacoma build in the USA.
Because I am looking to buy one when they hit Australia???
I’d take Either of the Rangers or Tim’s 79 🤙🏼
Yew!! Onya mate
Tested to their limits!
Like the BT-50 just need to get some dogo’s for it 😂😂
how come they don't 4 link the 79 in the rear. spring under does not work well for hard wheeling, That one is my favorite truck when it is set up with the small canopy
Great vid..good to compare the setups... But why do you never reveal the cost ?
The ranger is just top notch. The adaptive cruise control and lane assist is amazing. You can pretty much take your hands off the wheel and it’ll steer for you to a certain degree on straights.
I’d definitely go a ranger if I could afford 😅
if i had the choice, i would choose the Ranager
What are the seats ??
The 79 series would be my pick, not available in the states.
why isn't anyone using Mitsubishi as an off-road tourer?
is it a non reliable brand? or?
pls comment 😉
love you guys.. keep up ❤
I would choose the ford ranger on 35’s.
Shame the ranger won't make it past 10k KMs without a recall 😂
79 sounds ultra reliable... so glorified for not much to show
Just get a gu
Will 37s fit on the 79 for more diff clearance? I know you have strict lift laws in Australia
Engineering 37s here while possible is painful and extremely difficult
The Ranger is done until it comes time to electric convert :P
I’d take that next gen ranger
Is there no more American episodes? Thought there was a couple more coming?
Next week! Moab Pt 1 🔥
No choosing BT just because I have one
THE FORD RANGER IS A JUNK TRUCK, made narrow for the skinny people in australia? i prefer the ram , bigger, more power, and better, and more tougher then the slap together trucks, its made for towing to the caravan .
For a video titled about a 79 series there wasn’t much about the 79.
The fact that there is no Hilux is an insult
Haha yeah mate
People wind up purposefully understressed reliable Toyota donks then wonder why they aren't reliable anymore.
Yeah mate. It's a bit stupid aye
The mitts 79
35" on a ranger ?
what mileage was the engine swapped out? that had to be expensive! thought Toyotas were unbreakable.....NOT!
First 100* only have to stay up till 1am in the states to make it happen! Haha
“Good to see me” what a pisser lmao
Ram
When is jessy back
❤❤
Hate ranger when "pre-collision assist mulfunction" show up
Wildtrak
GU camera car....
👍🏻
Nice video... How about you also do Reubens DMW rig rundowns
Shaun did one awhile back. Then they seem to have parted ways shortly after.
Where are you ordering headlights for a Ram that takes 6 months!? I find it hard to believe that this is a US problem. It may be a Dodge problem.
Rocket rods had been driven way harder then this thing
I'd take the ram 🐏 because its worth the most then sell it and buy a gu patrol
new ranger please
I would pick the new Ford ranger just I'm Ford girl
