I saw your 79 at the Sydney 4x4 show today, it's a great rig mate. I love the Gworks tray and canopy (compliments to them on a great product) and I know what I will be getting when I receive my 79.
Well done! A lot of common sense and experience in this build instead of just throwing the credit card at it. And respect for admitting that a lot is about the looks. Love what you did with the winch. Clean lines - looks good and like you, I think the risk of animal strike is overstated if you don't drive at dawn and dusk.
I personally reckon the best wheel tyre combo is the factory workmate steelies with Toyo open country muddies. Skinny’s are the best from my experience
Congratulations on the success of the YT Channel. This current build is well balanced & most helpful. Totally agree the V8 is best suited for Australian touring. The 2.8cyl has yet to be proven. May I ask ur thoughts on a pre fuel filter ? Cheers Gerard
Personally I think ya mad not doing an air box upgrade.. I would look at Donaldson 200 series air box and see if you can make ya own brackets to make it fit..
Gday mate. With a 2 inch lift is there any mods that need to be done to fit 33’s / 285’s to stop scrubbing etc? I know ya did a vid on it but I think those mods were done pre lift?Cheers
awesome video mate just a little FYI type into UA-cam the brand of your camera and "how to stop focus breathing" its that annoying zoom in/out that you would of noticed as your editing. It's to do with your cameras sensitivity level when focusing ....you're welcome 😉
Okay, I've mounted my winch control dead centre on top of a bullbar and it doesn't affect the sensor, so if you do add a bar it's ok dead centre. Cheers mate I enjoy both your channels.
U said there’s nothing you’d change about your electrical setup! As a qualified electrician, I can see a couple of things I’d change so that it’s actually legal!🙄
There doesn’t need to be! It’s just common knowledge. The earth pin is at the bottom! That’s just how they’re designed! Gravity pulls the plug down, so the earth pin pushes in. There’s nothing in the reg about how to twist cables together either! But there’s a right & wrong way to do it.
Beautiful setup.
Thank you!
Good set up mate 🎉🎉🎉
Very well thought of
Thanks 👍 mate.

Thanks mate. Cheers for tuning in.

Thanks for the kind words. Yes a pre filter is something I will do in future for sure.
Does the tune now void any factory warranty given working outside of the factory Toyota parameters?
If they can prove the tune was the cause of the issue then yes potentially, its something we think about for sure.
She’s a beauty bud
Thanks mate.
How tall is this beautiful car? It can get into a shopping centre parking area 2m high?
Thanks for watching, no sorry from memory it’s just over 2.0m

We trimmed the front gaurd as per the vid mate. And yes they still just touch every now and then 🫣
Hi Guys, love your work! I just noticed that Roothy’s ‘Milo’ has the plates 157 STS Qld plates though……
Thanks for the info! Never noticed.
Great vid - always commonsense content.
Presume steering wheel with controls is stock with 2024?
Thanks for watching Tim. Yeah mate steering wheel is stock.
What sort of airbox did you have on the previous cruiser?
Hi Brent. Our previous ute had a patrol docta airbox. It was a good bit of gear.
@@SmartTouringSystems sweet. I have just ordered one for my 79.
What brand flares have you used?
Hi mate. They are factory flares.
@@SmartTouringSystems standard or ordered as an option?
Fair enough

Yeah mate, we are still learning for sure. Thanks for that comment it is bloody annoying.
Why did you offset the winch control box ?
There are sensors in the centre of the grille. And I also like the look of it. Cheers for watching.
Okay, I've mounted my winch control dead centre on top of a bullbar and it doesn't affect the sensor, so if you do add a bar it's ok dead centre. Cheers mate I enjoy both your channels.
Yeah no worries mate.
Still Brumbies are our Light Horse
Sick sick sick!Push ya chest out a bit more mate good onya
Cheers.
What spring rate are the back leafs mate and how’s it ride unladen?
Cheers
Too bad the Mrs had the fridge full of her mid strength beers and won’t let you put some of your fulls in
😜
What? Yowie would grab you before you would shoot a Brumby, Addo
They love carrots
It’s not the Ultimate it’s not An Auto 2.8 😅

I would love to know what is illegal please.
Your power point is sideways & it’s not double pole
@@Mechengineer321there’s nothing in the regs book about GPO orientation…

It would be the ultimate 79 if it was the 4 cylinder and not the boat anchor of a V8 😂
😜each to their own.
Work smarter mate, you’ll get there one day.
Who honestly cares? Wouldn’t matter what someone does there’s always someone hating saying should have done this should have done that, grow up W ⚓️
