Thanks to everyone that helped out in many different and various ways big and small. A lot of blood, sweat and long nights went into this build a long the way. A big budget was also spent on the filming over the past 3 months. Although I’ve had a lot of help a fair bit of coin has been invested into the rebuild as well. Combined we have gone overboard for sure but we have truly created a one of a kind and very unique beast of a Landcruiser with my 2013 79 series. I hope you all enjoyed the build. Time for me to head back bush and do what I used to do...
Bro i never comment on anything on here but the fact that you planned this video for so long and how special of a build it is to you and everything! I love the video of course and the channel but bro you should start recording in 4K and especially this video! It would’ve been so sick to see it the whole thing in 4K but something to think about! Love the channel of course as always! Also talk to your Rhino buddies to make a kit for State (US) Tacomas and make em customizable! Cheers to you my Australian Friend 🔥🔥
Ronny Dahl whats the diameter difference between 315/70r17 RAZR MT and the 35x12.50-16 Treps? If both are free standing with 35 psi I would think that the bias ply Treps will be closer in diameter than the official stats suggest. Also is thier side mirrors avialable for a 79 Series that can be folded back for narrow tracks ?
Yes glad you are going back to your roots, I had stopped watching just sick of all these build videos and not just you ! So look forward to some adventuring
My daughter likes the fact you named it after an 8 legged horse. Ronnie you have smashed it out of the park. You are a true legend . Thanks Ronnie from West Virginia 🇺🇸 God bless you and your family.
Fantastic build. For me, the best part is definitely the interior. The 4 seat conversion is the first I've seen and the whole interior is the best I've seen on any build. Great work!
Ronny. Your experience with technical 4x4 and filmmaking is clear. The quality here is better than any 4x4 tv show or competing youtube creator I've seen. I've followed for years and watched the iterations and learnings you have moved through. Proud to say that you and your team are one of THE best 4x4 filmmakers in the world. A pleasure to watch. You earned the place you have reached, celebrate the success!
From my rookie/ignorant/limited level of knowledge you’ve created the best/coolest/best equipped 79 I’ve seen so far on TH-cam. Congratulations! (That said, I owe a 2022 Jimny.) - You’re a true inspiration. Satan i gatan vilken häftig 79:a du skapat. Tack!! In this video you show what can be done, if you know your shit and think outside the box. ❤️
Beautiful! This is a 4x4 worth spending money on. Most importantly, for anyone wanting to build one of these, there is a reason everything is where it is, and if it's on there, it should be. After many hours of trial and error, RND for this vehicle has it looking and sounding sweet. Great Job Ronny.
Hey Ronny, wow the old girl looks and performs to all expectations and beyond what a sweet ol Norse horse , you have inspired many 79 owners including me many thanks for all you input into the Aussie 4x industry . Wishing you all the best from another fellow Norse Aussie ,The Adelaide Crew .
greets from Bavaria, Germany Ronny! This is my absolute, all-time, dream car. If i would live down in Australia, i would spend aaall my money on this car. Here in Germany i drive a little Suzuki Jimny and dream every time from Sleipnir as im driving around in the woods. Thanks for letting us see that you live a dream!
As much as I dislike 79s I have always liked yours, in a sea of “game changers” this things still been built for a purpose and is different rather than just being a catalogue of all the normal stuff. We’ll done mate.
Great build, nice to see how you keep evolving your rigs. Q&A: have to answer your standard Q’s of “3 favourite mod?” (this build). & 3 things someone should look out for if they’re buying a 2nd hand 79?
Haha, what a lovely rebuild. The only thing I can trump you on is I got Heiner to do that exact same behind rear seat 12V set up for my 79 about a year and a half ago. Because it is the right use of that space. Literally identical. 👍
Watching again. I can’t believe more people don’t do similar with the electrics. Even with a canopy it makes more sense to me to have that duel battery system in a space like that rather than the canopy
You bought Maxtraxx based solely on looks as you already had working orange ones, yet you were so right good sir! Some might say madness, i say perfection!
MASSIVE congrats Ronny, huge effort for 100eps... So much effort behind the scenes no doubt. Cruiser has turned out mint as well, is proper and very well sorted. You must be stoked 👍👌
The cruise looks absolutely mental, such a tough looking vehicle and probably one of the nicest looking cruisers inside and out going around. As always enjoy the content and cant wait to see the next trip 👍🏼
His 79 bonnet doesn't even have bonnet strut but his fridge does :). IMO I still prefer the previous iteration, I feel that more thought was being put into it. The idea of going lightweight whilst others bragging about how heavy their GCM going off-roading was so refreshing.
As heavy as Toyota bonnets are, As a former car detailer, we prefer the rods, struts fail and you don't want a Toyota bonnet falling on ya head, rods are 100% safe.
Congratulations on Modified No. 100 and the latest rebuild on the 79. Have been following it since the beginning, seen its various incarnations over the years, and its really interesting to see the lessons you've learnt using and also some of the stuff you've picked up with the other modified vehicles translate into this beauty. Great work Ronny!
@@momentum4th104 well he’s not extended or coiled it like everyone else, and has done a completely new custom style of interior unlike everyone’s else and has stuck to the light weight touring option instead of tray and canopy combo from either Mits or Norweld.. so it is unique on the 79 build front. Unless you can share another build like this and not the cookie cutter style of the others?
Best video showcasing a 79 series that has been modified. What a fantastic unit you have built Rhonny. Looks absolutely awesome and this would surely set a new bench mark in terms of mods and comfort done to the 79. Well done buddy and am looking forward to seeing more great videos champ.
Just getting into overlanding, but I live in the Uk, so Europe it is. Gone for an old Toyota 120 ( prado ). Always found your videos constructive so thanks.
Very well thought out, even the name sleipnir! a 8 Cylinder 79 named after a ancient 8 legged horse !! The authenticity of ronny is why i am here since episode 1 and never got bored! Keep going mate cheers from suriname🇸🇷, hope to drive with you guys someday!
Ronny, that‘s for sure the best 79 I‘ve ever seen , congrats! For Q&A next sunday: - are there seat covers available for the Scheelmann XL? Have also these XL seats installed in my Troopy and could not find any seat covers fitting - could you give more datails on the break booster and break upgrade you‘ve done, every LC70 should have one... Cheers, mate!
Those are two questions that didn’t make it in as there are so many. Seat covers are available as far as I know but I’d hit scheelman up to make sure. The brake booster I’m not 💯 on the details but it’s the one recommended by superior engineering and swat.
Mint. Love the rear seat conversation. My kids would have loved that when we were carting them around the country. Interesting to note you run a unichip as well as having it tuned. I have wondered about adding a unichip having had a dyno tune. Other things I noted for future mods for my 79 are the encased alternator & aftermarket intercooler. As always love your passion & down to earth presentation.
Second Air, remember when Roothy got these well over a decade ago in milo on 4wdMonthly Fraser DVD . Bought a Set back then and they were awesome in my old comp truck but a shit to balance as I also drove my Comp trucks on the Road
After all the years of wheeling, I wonder what the rust situation is like on this rig. Looks perfect, but I’m sure a full inspection would have a couple of surprises.
@@TheLukaszpg thats how he made money..build video,get pay from youtube..plus few sponsorship accesory he get..then sell it..then the circle continue..
Please put a video together with a trip with you and your kids? Be awesome to hear their thoughts on those super comfortable looking seats, the additional space in the back, etc. I know my kids would be wrapped to have that level of luxury for all the trips we do. So much so, that even the wife might decide to join us more often. Great build Ronny. But like we all know, it's not finished, nor will it ever be finished
Master Pull in the USA has been doing full synthetic rigging setups using the spliced loop on the end of the winch line and a soft shackle for many years. Nice to see you doing the same winch line setup.
Those sub woofers remind me of hospital medical experiments to eliminate constipation by beaming low frequency sound into the pelvic cavity at its resonant frequency. Apparently those were quite successful tests, though loud. Beware the dub step bass "brown-out" with the kids in the back. Are you guys every going to add ham radios? We are getting 60+km range with ours. Awesome video.
That looks fantastic Ronny. And although I'm a Defender guy and you did get stuck on the dune :) I really appreciate watching customizations done on a decent platform. I hope will show us the journey this new upgrade took.. But again she looks fantastic. Well done and enjoy. Cheers from RSA
What a beast . I don’t think you have enough lights 😂. There is a lot going on in that setup. nice job Ronny it looks and sounds awesome . Congrats on 💯
Hi !! Great job with car and movie 👍 I can see that You goes to the gym 👍 nice muscle conditions if we compare with your movies from few years ago. Great Car , and this v8 sound perfect 😀 Greetings from Poland 👍👍
G’day Ronny, thanks for the good oil on all your bits. Love the Cruiser, obviously a fantastic fun vehicle! Where can o get one of those window sill arm rests? Thanks mate. 😊
You should check out the yankum ropes groove fairlead, it lets you not have any metal and there's a loop built in so you don't need to use that magnetic dogbone
Dang Ronny, thats siiiick. So nice, I'd have a hard time wanting to off-road/abuse it :o. In other news, now to wait for Rhinohide to make panels for the Tacoma....:) Supposedly they were, based on an email I sent them a while ago but still waiting to see what happens.
Love the changes, it makes so much sense this way, especially since you have such a nice setup with the trailer (X1 here, too ... ;-)). I'm going to steal some ideas for our own Land Cruiser build in Europe ... oh, and got some patches finally, although, my wife will whack me over the head if we don't find camp during daylight.
Talk about blocking airflow..those spotties.. Surely a lightbar on the front hoop would be just as effective and increase the airflow ten fold to the front.
Hey Ronny, There’s pcor wheel cover hub that you can pop it off to turn the locking hub and you can pop back on instead of using the hex key to undo them. Cheers they look pretty good. 👍🏻👍🏻
Great episode! The 79 looks amazing! My one question is: With all the interior work done (which simply looks brilliant) how come you didn’t get any sound deadening done? Can’t wait to see this out on the tracks!
@@Slug-Anderson its a small v8. not big enough to be a diesel. plus all the design faults it has. a 6 cyl, is a better engine. this truck needs 30k spent on it, before, you buy camping gear..i have a 1962 v8,, f100 4x4.. NOTHING NEW... 1980,s ford 6.9 / 7.3 tdi.. NOTHING NEW... toyota 4.5tdi, $1000, per injector. rear diff,too short, alt on the floor, starter,,cant find it, suspension, pogo stik, cv,s, no thanks.. suspension 6'' travel.. cab, cramped, noisy, . your buying a badge..plus, toyota make unchangeable parts, nothing from 6 months ago fits.. ford, dodge, chev, all parts fit from 1960, never need upgrading..oh, forgot,, the clutch is crap..there built to drive out the factory, period..
🤘🏻 Siic build. A really well thought out and original biuld. I had to look up its name in the internet. It suits the beast perfectly... Thanks for sharing your build with us, as i may have to steal some ideas too. Keep up the good work. 1 question, whats the second battery under the bonnet for?
It would be interesting to see a video with the history of the Series 79: How did it look like before all the modifications, when did he started modifying it, and so on.
Hey Ronny, first of all thank you so much for all the content you share. Saved me from making foolish choices. Kept my 79 series simple and have only done the essentials for what I use it for. After watching this vid I’m interested to know who you would recommend in Perth for a dyno and unichip? Thanks mate
Thanks to everyone that helped out in many different and various ways big and small. A lot of blood, sweat and long nights went into this build a long the way.
A big budget was also spent on the filming over the past 3 months. Although I’ve had a lot of help a fair bit of coin has been invested into the rebuild as well. Combined we have gone overboard for sure but we have truly created a one of a kind and very unique beast of a Landcruiser with my 2013 79 series.

Q&A: have to answer your standard Q’s of “3 favourite mod?” (this build). & 3 things someone should look out for if they’re buying a 2nd hand 79?
You got yourself one bad ass rig there!!! Looks so sick with the black and red theme.
The last bumper looked really cool though how the bumper wrapped around and went into the sliders, gave really good protection on the fender

Brilliant make over Ronny thanks and Congratulations on the most Appropriate 100 Modified vehicles.
That is one sick truck ! I love that everything is functional and yet looks baddass at the same time ...
You should make a super hyped up video update on this truck and make teaser posts about it for weeks and then have it just be new floor mats
Watching again. I can’t believe more people don’t do similar with the electrics. Even with a canopy it makes more sense to me to have that duel battery system in a space like that rather than the canopy
Congratulations, modified episode 100! That 79 double cab is the best. Keep creating cool videos.

Talk about blocking airflow..those spotties..
Surely a lightbar on the front hoop would be just as effective and increase the airflow ten fold to the front.
I'm loving the red highline, and yes, the red Maxtraxx finish it off nicely ... orange wouldn't look as cool
Hey Ronny,
There’s pcor wheel cover hub that you can pop it off to turn the locking hub and you can pop back on instead of using the hex key to undo them. Cheers they look pretty good. 👍🏻👍🏻

The 4 seat conversion looks good and can see obvious reasons for it.
Wanted to know what rear tray do you have have on? Love how the roll cage bar doesn’t exceed the roof of the truck like most treys 👌🏽
Awesome build, really liking the interior
Hey Ronny, first of all thank you so much for all the content you share. Saved me from making foolish choices. Kept my 79 series simple and have only done the essentials for what I use it for. After watching this vid I’m interested to know who you would recommend in Perth for a dyno and unichip? Thanks mate
Great new look Ronny .
If you had done the inter cooler . Are you planning on doing a bigger air box also ?
Mate, the only thing that would up your channel now is a 4k camera. Keep it going!
