Hey guys I Just wanted to give you a quick Heads Up: I worked with new Vehicles for some time now and wanted to say that on the newer Vehicles its Not Always the best Idea to Stick to the factory cable Runs. A high current can cause an induction current on Close cables. With all the ABS, Computers and so forth that are running and communicating on really small voltages and currents, that can mean the Computer gets false information and throws Codes that you cant solve. Or the ABS doesnt Work right. For newer Vehicles this information should be found in the Builder documentation.
Galv steel tray with a hardwood floor, a little sandpaper and a coat of the right decking oil/stain, led tail lights and a few other bits and you’ve got a sweet base to build on like mine
Would have highly suggested sika flexing all the gaps below the tray on the RHS at what not, but over other than fully blasting and recoating came up pretty good 🤟
Perfect content to help me get through the boredom of Perth quarantine, hope you lads can keep up with similar content when the big rigs build is finished 🍻👌
Seeing your guys videos makes me want to put a flatbed(tray) on my frontier (d40) over here in the states. Seems so much more useful than my 5 foot bed. They only seem common for full size rigs over here.
I live in the states where I live in wv its common to pt a flat bed on everytruck do it you won't regret it look on Facebook you can pick up some second hand for around 700 bucks it dont have to be vehicle specific just needs the right dimensions and Fram line up mounts can be made or bought to fit
Coming together awesome 💪 I'll add to the suspension benefits that although it doesn't lift the diff, it does help your approach and departure angles 🙂 can't wait to see this on the tracks!!
22k for a truck that is ready for tracks is ok but still is crazy money !! Here in Greece to be able to spend that money you will have to work at least 3 years !!
Looking good boys I just used tintable Raptor for the first time on pvc for my rod holder worked great although I got a different and cheaper gun to spray with the guy at the paint shop said it was better 🤷♂️ but it worked amazing looks great 🤙🙏🇦🇺
I have been watching 4WD24/7 for a couple years and notice they always have snorkels and want to know which one they prefer forward or read facing as I seen them use both
Check the welds on a DIY job too. I cocked up almost every weld when i was building my trailer in 2020 and just ground them down and repeated until it looked good. I drove it a few times but I couldn't get over the fact that i've made the metal brittle as fck from the heat. Probably cut it up and do over one day.
Jocko is the best. No doubt. Jocko makes me want to buy a truck, put a tray on and run a 12volt setup with reduction gear on 35’s. Keep these episodes coming. Great work. 🍻
Yep, I also hope to see yous again at the Melbourne 4x4 show if your there, fingers crossed covid doesn't cancell it again cause I'd like to see yous again
Can you guys do a video on how to help with buying a wagon? I just bought a 105 and just simple things like the power steering are leaking. I'm only 15 but it's just messed me up a bit. Just be helpful to others buying a wagon with what you guys have seen as simple problems. Cheers
The title actually says $5k for the tray, canopy & 12v (which includes the materials for Raptor coating the setup) - $7k covers that plus the lift kit!
What's the best way to make the aluminum canopy not oxidize or rust on a steel tray , is it b cause of the paint or are there zinc washers under the canopy ?
Ha ha...."what's next for the big GU...well we're almost there"...after 23 yrs with my Maverick and now nearly 9yrs with the Dmax you are never ever almost there...there is always just that little (or big) thing that will help and needs to get done...nice setup on this one...keep it simple...just 1 question...how hot does the battery and chgr setup get behind the seat?...
How come when I look for a 2" lift for my ranger the kit cost is $2000+ but when you guys lift something the parts cost is stated as being considerably less? Is it because kits come with unnecessary items?
Awesome video blokes thinking of chucking a similiar dual battery system in my Ute now seeing this. How did youse rate the apb canopy’s? I’m close to pulling the pin on one but keen on others opinions as I can’t view one in the flesh before buying
Please never mount a fire extinguisher in the foot well. The mount that holds the extinguisher isn’t very strong and in an accident they go flying. Have seen several vehicles have the fire extinguisher either under up on the dash or even go through the front windscreen in a roll over.
What does Australian law say about changing axles to something from a different vehicle? I'm from Colorado, USofA. In high school I helped a friend put in a 6-inch lift in a 84 Bronco 2 and used the axles from a 78 Chevy 2-ton.
It really depends on what else you're doing. Putting a 6" lift in any vehicle would require engineering check to make sure it's safe to be on the road.
@@calvingreene90 At least in South Aus, it's 2" of body / suspension lift and 2" of tyre size change (ie, 31 to 33" diametre) before you need to do engineering. Though as you can see from Jocko's Solid axle Hilux, with engineering you can do a lot more. I assume dually swapping a vehicle here would require engineering. BUT US axles, wheels and off road dually tyres are pretty rare here.
@@agentcrm For on road use he took the outside tires off or he would have had to build fender extensions. I suggested Mad Max style fenders but his mother nixed it. The joys of putting the car in the parents name for lower insurance; she could sell it.
Bloody love it when Jock is on these kinds of episodes! He's so informative and such a character! Top episode blokes! Keep up the good work
You guys have to take Andy on a trip in the near future to see what this budget build can do.

We definitely can.
Are we still doing quarantine in this country. Crazy! Good luck lol
This quarantine crap is outta hand.
How is life in west korea??
@@jimmyggreg8999 37 degrees, might order a paddle pool from Bunnings n chill out on the balcony 😂👌
Love the more affordable episodes/builds.
If it was my car I would definitely be looking at a 3 inch free flow exhaust.
In my humble opinion. You should cut the cracks with a 2.5mm cutting disk and then welding them. Stops the rust from coming back where the cracks are
Jocko has developed into an excellent presenter and he's pretty good on the tools, as well. Look forward to seeing this GU out on the tracks.
jocko ur one of my fav members of 4wd 24/7 you nailed the video as always keep it up man.

This was my uncles old ute glad too see it coming up sweet as boys keep up the good work
There is some nice space in front and behind the rear wheels below the tray for some extra storage boxes to be built in....
Prefer watching these shed builds over the big budget workshop stuff. Keep it up 👍
22k for a truck that is ready for tracks is ok but still is crazy money !! Here in Greece to be able to spend that money you will have to work at least 3 years !!
I think I would have mounted the electronics a bit higher off the floor for when that water crossing doesn’t go to plan😉

The boys know there stuff
I would have cut out the cracks whether I welded in patches or not. Cracks expand just for the heII of it.
Mad love from over the Ditch, cooking up a feed as we speak
Cheers Ben!
There's one major cost you've omitted; beers for the mates!

nice job! A little surface rust is never a problem and means you can get a hell of a deal. I put a similar tray on the roof of my Fiat Panda.

It's so nice to have room to work on a project car, plus the gear and mates with skills to help.
This is great content and jocko is great at explaining the process and requirements ! great work
Jocko at his best while Shauno n Graham r having a rest at the lost souls lodge. lol.
Wow that was mad! Sweet work there lads and good presenting, I think you’ve found your calling there.
Now this is what I've been waiting for
Wait no longer 👊
Ok, this cured my border, I've just been watching trips for the last week straight lmao
Sounds like a good week mate!
Yep, I also hope to see yous again at the Melbourne 4x4 show if your there, fingers crossed covid doesn't cancell it again cause I'd like to see yous again
What a rig!
did the springs lift the car by 2"? why show the tape measure out before install and not include it after install.seems odd
Jocko has to be the biggest leprechaun I have ever seen good lord he's the King of the Leprechauns
Love ya work Jocko
I love that KickAss is a brand name.
I've got a fabulous build myself, but I'm jealous as with how this rig is turning out. Bloody beautiful.
Nice work Jocko. thanks.
Great content Jocko mate, we could all do with a mate like you to help out in the shed on a build!
Love your all videos jocko..I hope you get more air time with your videos
just started watching the channel. love what you guys are up too, keep up the good work.
You guys should’ve painted the subframe whilst the tray was off
Outstanding episode!!!! Need a bit of this in between time. Lol

love it
The GU sits much better now 🔥 Glad we could help out 🤘🤘🤘
Another banger ( love the vids guys keep it up
Thanks mate!
@@4WD247 All good, do you guys have any plans for the next trip to cape York it’s on the very top of my bucket list
Is there any concern about water getting to that charger setup in the cab?
Gday Jocko, are you able to do a video of the pros and cons/ differences between Parabolic leafs and general leaf pack
you guys are so lucky in aus for 4wd'ing. in nz that second hand tray would be be sold for like $8k and a left leg and it would be rusted to all heck!
Good job
Guy's love your channel for south Africa
What a difference well done ✅✅
What a diffrence well done guys well deserved
Thanks mate - Andy is a lucky fella, this GU is turning in to a weapon real fast!

Thanks Michelle!
@@4WD247 did you just reply to me 😄😄😄
Twice!
Superb
great to see you putting out more content on the channel Jock...
If you stand back a bit. And use a small circular motion on your final coat you wont get that streaky patchy finish on your raptor.
A new video on a Tuesday! Mint as!
Good stuff Jocko, great content.
Thanks a ton!
Nice little build. My only concern/thought is where the battery/12v is mounted. What happens if water gets in the cab...
An ex and practical episode.
Title says 5k and intro says 7k. Is this gonna be like the Pony lux cost analysis?
The title actually says $5k for the tray, canopy & 12v (which includes the materials for Raptor coating the setup) - $7k covers that plus the lift kit!
Next time yous come to tassie I have a dirty 30 I want shauno to see
Would those Kickass products all be waterproof so I don’t need to be worried about water getting to it in its on the ground behind the seat, cheers
Where did he get that canopy from?
thats crazy
This is the sort of video where jock shines.
Joco is awsome. Really informative!
should do a budget canopy fit out 5k is hectic for most people
Hope to see the beast on the trails!! Nice ride!

Awesome information Jocko!
finally its here
Also jockos Coffs Harbour cooking segment was the funniest I’ve ever seen
Weirdly, no one is asking for a cookbook from Jocko..
@@4WD247 I was like wtf he is using up and go 🤣
Pretty concerned about his health
@@4WD247 he needs to make one,
He’s a better cooker than 4x4 driver
Shots fired!
Extended brake lines or just using the existing ones as suspension limit straps??
Lol. Lot's of people seem to like doing this.
Count how many times ole jocko say beauty…..
Legend, you can come and work on my 4wdrive. You do the best and most informative tutorials.
Jock rocks 🤙🏼
How come when I look for a 2" lift for my ranger the kit cost is $2000+ but when you guys lift something the parts cost is stated as being considerably less? Is it because kits come with unnecessary items?
Jocko is the Jason Newsted of the group
I would love to get a bracket for my fire extinguisher, where can I buy one?
Awesome video blokes thinking of chucking a similiar dual battery system in my Ute now seeing this. How did youse rate the apb canopy’s? I’m close to pulling the pin on one but keen on others opinions as I can’t view one in the flesh before buying
sweet tray jocko nice work mate
Thanks 👍
I just brought 120 series landcruiser prado what suspension would you guys recommend for towing and some beach 4wding
love this one gives me good ideas 🤔
Please do a canopy build video

Chances of seeing us at Cape York ANY day of the year? Higher than most.

Nice mods aside from the 12v setup. Should have gone for a lithium setup and dropped the 240 charger
I just want to know where the heck they got a canopy done for $2500 😂
