Loving the build because the choices are yours and unique, and not the same generic thing you see on TH-cam a million times over. The steering wheel, the sheepskin covers, the carpet, the bullbar -- all bloody brilliant. Can't wait to see it finished.
Bullbar kool Tommy, going to suit the theme of the truck and polish it up, will look awesome. If you're going to use it to winch with, you may need to strengthen the bar somewhat. Why not gusset the joins with 3 or 4mm alloy plate? Might be a bit of stuffing around but worth the piece of mind and will hopefully act as a bit of insurance for a period correct bar.
Yeh also brings out the colour in your eyes....hahahahaha 😅😅😅. Love the build, Tommy. As you said, your car your choices. What about some sound deadening?? @RoamLyfe
I've done the same job on my GQ, but with sound deadening on the floor and closed cell foam under the carpet. Aside from the massive difference in noise, if you don't at least put some underlay under the carpet, the carpet forms to the ribs in the floor and looks horrible. I put a serious sound system in mine so the dynamat type insulation made a massive difference to making the truck quiet, especially up the firewall.
The bar, the carpet etc is epic Tom. I don't think you're putting a foot wrong with this build, and if anything your experience is paying off mate. This build is a keeper. So much goodness going on here 👍👌✌️
Most original GQ build on TH-cam. Retro-shaved-sleeper. Polished ally bar might glare out with the headlights on but worth a shot. It could work really well cut down and polished as an ally OEM+ bar. Would be cool paired with polished ally snorkel and rear bar.
Yeww, tryna be different hey! Loving the retro meets new style with this build and have such a specific look in mind with it! Let’s just hope it all comes together how I’m thinking 👌
@@RoamLyfe the red carpet is a master stroke. If I were you I would go black headliner and trim but maybe red accents on the door cards. Looks sick keep it up!
This build is coming along nicely....you gone this far you should try getting a deal for some car builders or another sound deadner solution....running those tyres is all your going to hear over that new stero....I like that your bringing crome back should look good that bull bar once it's polished.
I played the intro again just for that voice over. Stay Classy youtube. When i had my GQ i was forever trying to work out how to swap the position of the headunit and the AC controls. Knowing that piece is now available is making me think of getting a GQ again.
Before doing the main coat for the floor under the carpet, is that white paint a primer used to put over the wire brushed rusted spots and then once that dries you put the urkiprotec main coat
Loving the red carpet. Would love to see a suede roof and a pillars trims. Maybe even flocked door cards to go that extra step. Awesome content brother keep it up, cars looking mint 🍻
Can’t wait for the low rider suspension, that makes the front end bounce. If you don’t go out on the maiden voyage where a sheepskin coat and a very bright pimp suit from the 70’s I will be bitterly disappointed. Really enjoyed this build mate 👍
Roll out the red carpet for Ron Burgendy! The woodern steering wheel smells of mahogany. Still on the fence for the bullbar could look good once cleaned up, With all these retro mods, any Gq "safari" inspired decals coming?
the y60 has been my dream car for ages - currently rebuilding a pajero 1999 for offroading, while I do like it - every time I look at it I can just imagine rebuilding a patrol y60, I will get there one day!
Love the carpet and colour and the bull bar is so sick and personally I think you should build a 5 post bull bar some day maybe even for this gq 🤷♂️ would look really sick but can’t wait to see what you do brother, keep up the brilliant videos
I dunno it is missing something....??? What about those chromed wheel covers that spin independently of the wheels, make it look like your movin when your stopped?
Make sure you Velcro your dash mat down otherwise over time it can wear down the fresh black paint from vibrations. Looking great though and would love to see a diy set up in the back with the dual battery system 👍
I also bought a cheap 2nd hand alloy bar, that looks like an ARB style bar, for my 80 Series. Going to cut the hoops off & put a winch & cradle in it Go the Burgundys!!! I mean Maroons!!!
Wicked episode mate, it’s looking great. I pretty much only build 84 to 96 hilux’s and 4runners but this has me thinking of doing a GQ build. They are a great platform. Here’s to 100k this year 👍
hey mate just wondering im 14 got a job im looking to get a Nissan patrol GQ one of the older models how do i get them for cheap like around $3,500-$8,500 around that price?
WARNING: I hope those are clean rags under the workbench mate. If they are dirty or oily rags they can self combust and burn your workshop down. Also digging the new RL logo.
Absolutely loving the build, one of the best I’ve ever seen. My only annoyance is that I’m guessing it won’t be used for proper 4bying, but that’s just me. Either way, fucking keen to see the end result
Love the look of it, but theres no way you will be able to keep it clean after a few hard drives out on the tracks. Maybe do an update vid on interior in the future so we can see how you maintain it? 😂
Red carpet & sheep skin seat covers making it almost like a pimps car. Just need white fluffy dice hanging off the mirror😂
😂😂😂 dice and some lady’s

Thanks mate, really tryna do some different stuff so I’m glad you’re enjoying it 🤙
Red carpet is actually clean as… can’t wait to see this rig out on the road 😮
Good stuff! Dont mind the bar either. Keen to see it polished up.

Love the build mate, the red carpet really brings out the interior couldnt think of a better colour
I’m so stoked with the red carpet 👌👌
Yeh also brings out the colour in your eyes....hahahahaha 😅😅😅. Love the build, Tommy. As you said, your car your choices. What about some sound deadening?? @RoamLyfe
That bull bar would look awesome painted the same as the body colour, with that shiny chrome grill behind it.
I think I’ll polish it and if it looks bad , I’ll paint it up 🤙🤙
lovin this series brother keep it coming!
Thanks brother 👌
awesome video for us patrol owners, love the head unit upgrade as I'm in the market for 1, thanks for the link in the description !!
Looks wicked
That is sick love the colour scheme very nice mate. And wooden wheel finishes it iff
That bull bar looks good dude!
Amazing job what you have done

Love how the patrol is turning out looks sick man, and that polished bull-bar would be dope keep up the good work 💪
Anything to be best friends with Ron Burgundy
The bar, the carpet etc is epic Tom. I don't think you're putting a foot wrong with this build, and if anything your experience is paying off mate. This build is a keeper. So much goodness going on here 👍👌✌️
Thanks heaps Paul! Loving how it’s coming together 🤙
Ally bar will look sick all polished up 💎
Im not so sure about the bull bar, but surprisingly i love the red carpet!!

Loving it! Looking forward to seeing the bar polished, I'll reserve comments till then but I am definitely in favor for some more chrome.
I love that it’s different hey, seeing alot of copy and paste builds 😂👌

Love the carpet.
Thanks Danny!
I reckon the bar will look sick polished up, really dig the red carpet too!
I actually agree hey! I think it’s gonna look mint, more chrome! 👌

I dig the red carpet mate,strange but cool,why not change the seat belt colours as well to tie the interior off,keen to see how it goes🍻
Loving all of it mate. Keep it rolling!
Love the bullbar. Great build mate
Cheers Ben keen to see the bar all polished up hey!
I thought you would of added some sound deadening to the floor. Keep up the great work, can’t wait to see her in full action
Red carpet looks great
Any reason for no sound deadening?
Before doing the main coat for the floor under the carpet, is that white paint a primer used to put over the wire brushed rusted spots and then once that dries you put the urkiprotec main coat
That new logo 🔥
I reckon once that bar is polished up it’ll look mint. I would love to see what it looks like hoopless like the 75/78 series had from factory 🔥
Definitely a great idea, see what it looks like polished and if I don’t like it I’ll just dock the hoops off 👌🤙
Looking awesome 👌
Thanks legend!
Fluffy dice next for sureeeee
Loving the red carpet. Would love to see a suede roof and a pillars trims.

I almost bought a flock kit for the dash! I like the idea of it! Was thinking about making some custom door cards this weekend! 🤙

I actually feel like it’s perfect hey!
Great Video update. Something a little different from what the others are doing. Burgundy is a good colour choice.
Tryna be a little different hey! Glad you enjoyed it 🤙🤌
I dunno it is missing something....???
What about those chromed wheel covers that spin independently of the wheels, make it look like your movin when your stopped?
Vote for Diesel - "Chief Seat Warmer" and "Ready to GO!" Co-pilot.
Awesome stuff as usual 🤙
Make sure you Velcro your dash mat down otherwise over time it can wear down the fresh black paint from vibrations. Looking great though and would love to see a diy set up in the back with the dual battery system 👍
Great peice of advise!! Didn’t think of that but I did Velcro it down 🤙
the carpet was the right call 😍😍
How good!! Was a gamble hey, but I love the old porches that have this interior 🙌🙌
Carpet is sic bro and the bull bar I dig too, kinda retro and tough...
Cheers mick! Going for that retro meets new look with this build 🤙🤙
alloy bar looks mint mate
Thanks bro , glad everyone’s liking it 🤙🤙
I also bought a cheap 2nd hand alloy bar, that looks like an ARB style bar, for my 80 Series. Going to cut the hoops off & put a winch & cradle in it
Go the Burgundys!!! I mean Maroons!!!
Awesome, sounds like a good plan and good to see some budget mods floating about! 🤙🤙
bullbar looks mint mate👌
Thanks bro, so keen to polish it up! 🤙🤙
I’m in a glass case of emotions about the carpet but you stay classy dude 👍
Bahahahah 😂😂 classic!
Love it bud .. where was that centre console from ? Keep up the ripper work
Top, where can I find the central console?
So good lol, your rig so bugger what anyone else thinks. Starting to look super tidy!
hey man I'm super keen on one of those centre consoles but can't find anything
Wicked episode mate, it’s looking great. I pretty much only build 84 to 96 hilux’s and 4runners but this has me thinking of doing a GQ build. They are a great platform. Here’s to 100k this year 👍
Love the old luxs! The go hard! A old patrol is just built tough and has a good suspension setup from factory! 🤙🤙
Well done mate
Cheers mate 🤙🤙
where’s the center console from
OSS 4x4 , I be had it for a while, I’m not sure if they are making them anymore!
What centre shifter housing cupholder thingmabob is that ?
Good to see the carpet matches the drapes mate 😂😂😂
I’m red all over 😂😂
I did the sheepskin fluffy style covers once in my VL. Comfy but damn I got sick of the static shocks on the car body when I got out.
Oooo, where they polyester ones or sheep skin?
@@RoamLyfeoh they’d have been cheap ones for sure knowing my budget back n my 20s. Polyester I’d say. They looked grandpa spec for sure
Looks mad mate I actually like the red carpet.
Ron burgundy or Ron Jeremy 😂😆😂
It was a gamble but I’m so glad I went the red! 🤙🤙
Have you still got the Triton
Boom chika wow wow love it
Cheers legend 🤙
hey mate just wondering im 14 got a job im looking to get a Nissan patrol GQ one of the older models how do i get them for cheap like around $3,500-$8,500 around that price?
Sound deadening and insulation?
Love it definitely need some black fluffy dice 😂
Maybe I should order some lol
like it. but no sound deadening? have you decided to go electric? cause otherwise that motor is as it should be going to be loud.
I just couldn’t afford it in this episode! Will definitely get some when I can!
I like it mate. You’ve come a long way. Where did you say the console was from? I looked for OSS4x4, but couldn’t find them. Love the colour 👍🍻🎯🇦🇺
It’s from one stop shop 4x4! Thanks for the comment 👌
Fuck yea carpet rules bro, keep taking risks go with the gut 👊🏾
When is the motor going in ??
Still waiting on some parts for it 🥹🥹
Get red seats custom leather would make this 10x better
You should get Ron Burgundy mural under the bonnet lol 👍
Already a plan in place for it 🤙🤙🤙
@@RoamLyfe haha nice 👌
WARNING: I hope those are clean rags under the workbench mate. If they are dirty or oily rags they can self combust and burn your workshop down. Also digging the new RL logo.
Actually a very good point, I’ll get them shifted!!
Also thanks, I really like the new logo too!

Should’ve got leopard skin seats
I wanna see the polished product! I think it will be very cool AND unique. Still sadly a Patrol though ;)
I’m definitely keen to polish it and see, I think it’ll suit this build hey 🙌🙌!
New logo nice
Ayee, you noticed!! Changing the logos and stickers 👌
Legend ❤❤
lol yes Tom - your car, your rules. (carpet looks good btw)
😂😂😂 sometimes I have to remind myself this
Lovin it 🤙🤙🤙
Cheers Bryan!!
Love the look of it, but theres no way you will be able to keep it clean after a few hard drives out on the tracks. Maybe do an update vid on interior in the future so we can see how you maintain it? 😂
I'm a fan of the ali bull bar, but a word of warning the glare you get back off the headlights gives you headaches.
That’s a good point! No night driving will be the sacrifice 😂😂
Cut the hoops off the bullbar and make it just the base then give it a polish. Will look shmick
That’s the plan if it looks bad how it is 🤙
hhaha love this, sounds like your old Gu video
if you polish the bullbar, good luck driving at night your lights will reflect at you
I think you mean future pink carpet. lol
😂😂😂
the Ron Burgundy accent...🤣 its so bad its good. Car looks great mate.
Bahahaha, look it was a little weird to film but I got there! 😂😂😂😂
Should have done sound proofing
Suprised you didnt end up putting in some sound deadening while it was all out
Thought you would have put sound deadening under carpet
At the moment I can’t really afford it! Maybe in the future I’ll do some 👌
Pwooahh this is just epic!
Thanks brother!! 🤙🤙
At the start I thought maybe you used some ai voice over thing. But nah, was just a half decent impression 😂
no sound deadening?
Just couldn’t afford it in this episode 🙃
Where is the steering wheel from ?
Believe it or not it’s from Temu lol
@@RoamLyfe ohh nice how’s the quality ?
Listen the red carpet is awesome but them fluffy seat covers are a big turn off. Get some custom lether seats in red, would look mint!
The carpet matches the proverbial drapes haha
Lmao pimp wagon 😂
She’s full pimp now lol
