@@macpreston My GU Patrol doesn't have steering as sloppy as that Toybota, and it is a solid axle. Surely the 79's aren't all that bad - it's positively unroadworthy.
It has power windows and a cad player and aircon. That’s about it tho 😂 no sat nav no colour screen no auto head lights no auto wipers no lane asssist no adaptive cruise no tyre pressure sensors 😂
Hows the auto going Mac? i just dropped the cash on one and so excited for it. do you still reckonmend the shifter you have? thanks great channel and editing keep it up
Whats the go oldmate in wa has 4 speed auto it cant get bogged very easily, gears are so tall ,I seen it on weekend was crazy dont know why he doesn't put video up of it
Amarok owners complaining that the 8HP70 cannot reverse up hills or get out of sand. Just revs in both cases? Also what is economy, 0-100 & power output change from the manual?
This 8-speed ZF with intelligent electronics package is next level. The amount of thought, time and effort put into this is obvious Big ups to all the lads involved. Can't wait to see how it performs off-road.
How bloody awesome is that, to see the guy’s dedication to make this work is incredible, there’s going to be a lot of conversations done now I think, great job mate, cheers
Hi Guys. I am a Instrumentation Technician from SA and we are also Land Cruiser lovers. Wicked idea and brilliant results. Enjoy it. Knew some with a FJ 47 6.5 detroit in, what a monster.
Some well placed LED's would set that logo ablaze and "take tha bling bruv to a hole new level like wicked in it!" a hum pardon me. You know ya want a lol. It's going to be cool to see how the 8 speed go's and I hope it gets a good flogin and we get too see it.
Purchased a shirt from ShedLife less for the Hilux and moreso to support genuine 4x4 Aussie UA-camrs! Love your work guys and glad I could support the channel 🙌🏽
It's interesting, bet it's spendy as fuck.🤑😲 Manual mode would be better if it doesn't go back into granny mode unless commanded to. I'm looking forward to how it performs for you legends, best of luck👍🏻
@@macpreston Cheers for the reply. You'll be reet as long as you don't convert your 79 to the flappy paddle turns with steering wheel shite🤬 I drove a Toyota hatchback with them. Right for up, left for down in the straight ahead. I was taking a roundabout turning right in 2nd putting the steering wheel 180° out. On the exit, accelerating I hit the right paddle for 3rd gear, yeah nah, it went into 1st at 36mph. The needle went to the rev limiter just a bit slower than my arse sucked the cover off the seat 🤣🤣🤣🤣
When you say you were at 1500 at 100kmph does that mean you were cruising off boost? How does it work with your engine tune? Fuely at that 1500? Being that the converter locks up quick i assume that your turbo would not be at its efficiency at 1500rpm? Love the rig 👌
@@macpreston sick thanks mate good to know. I want more power from my FTE but a750 auto isn't known for its strength. But had heard of there being issues if doing long distance cruising where you're sitting off boost. Cheers for the reply
boss has a 79 workmate with near 200 thousand kms ,its been abused it drives like a piece of shit wouldnt pull the skin off a rice pudding AND he sold it for 15 thousand less than what he paid for it new ,i mean like what the hell is all that about ,fella pull themselves senseless over these 4 wheel drives and the depreciation is stuff all ,you could go on forever about the extras you dont get ,the track being different to accomodate that big thirsty slug up front ,no AC no nothing but they COMMAND huge bucks ,he told me to buy one way back when but fkn no i bought a damm Ranger ,this beast you fellas have created should be whats selling off the showroom floors ,Toyota need to see this,OUTSTANDING
The same reason why Toyota put shit suspension, shit factory clutches, shit off set wheel track, shit seating, and shit audio system just to name a few. They- Toyota give a shit, because the waiting list is way too long and no matter how shit they build them, we will still buy them.. I have two 🤨
holy shit.. Look at how much steering mack is doing in a straight line on the highway.. Highly overlooked part of putting big wheels on.. Car drives like shit.
Macca going hard polishing his steering wheel in the first clip 😂
Hahahaha solid axle life on the highway 😂
😂😂 you no I didn’t even notice that editing because I’m so used to seeing it hahahaha

Big props to Maca filming this ep right after getting lasik eye surgery!
😂🤣😂🤣🤣 best comment surely lol
Hahahaha
Granny shifting, not double clutching like you should. You’re lucky you didn’t blow the welds on the intake
😂 waiting for the floor pan to blow out ey 😆😆
Now me and the mad scientist gotta replace the engine rings ya fried
Hey Maca, that cruiser sounds the muts nuts when it comes down after revving and you can hear the turbo whistling down.
What an awesome bit of kit.
These guys are gonna kill it such an awesome bit of gear got me on the waiting list
I hope they do! Absolute legends we’ll be mates for a long time to come I recon!
My back is shot, so I cant have manual anything. Ive wanted an auto cruiser for soooo long. THIS is a game changer!!
Looks bloody awesome........Mac's Sunnies I mean, the cruiser is pretty cool too.
Hahahaha
Finally someone fixed the heating issues for cruiser boxes.
Haha only took an entirely different box 😂
Surely this is going to SEMA 🔥🔥🔥✊🏾🔥
Easily the sickest 79 in Aus. Killer.
That thing is gangstaaaaaa now good job boiz ❤️
Goes hard ! 🤩
Unreal, well done lads, I’m keen.
Great piece guys, thanks.
ZF 8 speed out of a mighty amarok!!!
The edit bra!! 🎉
What a fucken monster!!! That wheel spin got me frothing 🤤
uppa the gladstone rep
What happened to using the dragie with the auto?? I really wanted to see the difference.
Wasn’t filmed but will be in a future episode stay tuned 🤩
Love it can ya make a little one for me bravo.
Idea: Next major upgrade to the 79, power windows and CD player :p *shots fired*
😝😝
It has power windows and a cad player and aircon.
That’s about it tho 😂 no sat nav no colour screen no auto head lights no auto wipers no lane asssist no adaptive cruise no tyre pressure sensors 😂
@@macpreston i wonder what the boiz from the 1980s would think of all those fancy shmancy doodahs on cars these days :p
They would not be happy I’m sure 😂
Hows the auto going Mac? i just dropped the cash on one and so excited for it. do you still reckonmend the shifter you have? thanks great channel and editing keep it up
He has been loving it ! Tells me he may be considering the other style soon
I want one

No issues with that so far!
@@macpreston sounds like it was software related. Id love one of these but my VDJ78R cost near the same lol
Freakin’ weapon 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Damn son
F#$k yeah🤙
Zf for the win
ZF 8 speed auto has been done about a year ago.
not to 79 series
Wowwwww!!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Biggest question is how much!!??
Next mod. Put a twin turbo 200 style 1vd in the dog
That’d be loose
Is it ready for sale?
we are currently testing it , as soon as it passes they are available, jump on there email list 8speed.au
Gotta send one to WD, dude packs a 6 life time stress test into a 10 minute video.
He’s my idol haha
Just needs some bar work now
Lucky he changed to auto. Granny shifting trying to go fast. 🤣
😆😆 lucky the floor pan didn’t randomly blow out ey 😝
8 Speed Auto.....Are you kidding me
They won’t be house deposits soon they’ll be houses.
It’s pretty cheap tbh
Why auto? You just downgraded.
The start looked like one of them old school movies with the fake driving scenes that’s filmed in a studio the way Mac kept moving the wheel 😂
😂
Hahaha it proper did a 😂
This 8-speed ZF with intelligent electronics package is next level. The amount of thought, time and effort put into this is obvious Big ups to all the lads involved.
Can't wait to see how it performs off-road.
It’s definitely impressive in person ! Yea will be in full test mode soon , Tasmania!
Agreed mate the boys have done a wicked job and awesome to see new things coming into the custom car industry!
and most of it was done not sober🤣
Mate, you’re doing more corrections on that steering wheel on the freeway than my 30 year old GQ!!!!
More than my 67 Landy S2A😜😆
Haha cruiser float around on the highway!
haha i saw that and its putting me off buying one haha. is it because of his huge tires tho
Haha I think it’s a combo of big lift and big tyres, I had it lower for a bit and didn’t float as bad
Also no sway bars doesn’t help 😂
What a game changer!! Love the sequential shifter too! Can’t wait to see how it goes on the beaches. Top work lads 🤙🏻
Thanks mate ! Yes should be good fun on the beach for sure 🤩
Honestly this is the only cruiser that has actually made me want one 🤟🏻
How bloody awesome is that, to see the guy’s dedication to make this work is incredible, there’s going to be a lot of conversations done now I think, great job mate, cheers
It’s definitely impressive in person ! The gear change pull is wild 🤩
$1000 track will test it lol or climmies track 👌🤙🤘 when will u be in tassie
Be nice to see some Tassie pinstripes down the black sides
That won't happen is my guess...but hope it does cause there'll be potential for 79s carnage on those tracks!
Hi Guys. I am a Instrumentation Technician from SA and we are also Land Cruiser lovers. Wicked idea and brilliant results. Enjoy it. Knew some with a FJ 47 6.5 detroit in, what a monster.
Amazing work to the team! Looking forward to the final product. Would love one in my cruiser
sweet baby jebus!!!
How about that arm twitch on the highway haha.

It’s gonna be some fun testing for sure mate !
Perfect timing , I'm looking at an auto conversion.
So TJ when are you upgrading? MACA does have Cruiser Brain but what a weapon only I can't wait to see it off road
Haha I know right ! Don’t worry I have a build up my sleeve 🤩
Zone offroad south africa has a nice console for the auto conversion the been doing it for a while like the vids loved the hilux coil conversion
awesome upgrade, you boys must be over the moon. Looking forward to seeing how it goes offroad
Thanks mate! Yeah testing coming up 🤩
$2000 in diesel making this video 😅😅, well worth it 👌 👏
Cruiser got the Death Wobble mac 😬
Only after a 3 wheel haha
When’s it available for ford ranger
Add another to the shopping list #Every79OwnerEver haha don't push the cig lighter in to far
Don't care what anyone says. I'll drive a manual until the day I physically can't anymore. Autos are boring!
Yeah fair enough mate 😎
Had a close guess with the p75 out of the Ram 1500. Ours goes well towing and beach👌
this thing is friggen sick !
Tjs Editing never fails
Thanks !
Friggen AWESOME Guys! Is this a ZF Box?
Very cool. Can't wait to see it on the tracks!
"Like kids in a candy store!"
He is hey !
Can this in the future work maybe in petrol supercharged 105 series auto may make a difference in the thirst for fuel on acceleration thanks ray

Manual mode would be better if it doesn't go back into granny mode unless commanded to.
I'm looking forward to how it performs for you legends, best of luck👍🏻

The full manual mode stays in gear no Govenor! Just a bit risky for liability if someone shifts the wrong way unintentionally 😂

When will thats selling ?
Oldest eshay I’ve ever seen.
Awesome work to all involved. Sick set up
Fuk ye bra, gear for each cylinder
This is awesome. Never understood why Toyota put a manual in these cruisers from factory when a modern auto is so much better in every way
Amazing power difference to !
The same reason why Toyota put shit suspension, shit factory clutches, shit off set wheel track, shit seating, and shit audio system just to name a few.

Ours is from the bmw x5 platform but yep same as v6 amarok very awesome box!
oh man, just when i thought i spent enough on my 79
I’m a dye hard cruiser fan and I would do anything to mine BUT! the only thing I won’t do is put a auto gearbox in
No problem with that either mate some guys like autos some hate em!

What's going on with the steering at the beginning on the video it seems to be shaking a bit 🤔 might need a better steering dampener
Needs more caster floats a bit it’s sweet when it’s lower

Can't wait to see how it goes down Tassie
Same !! Haha
