Just a reminder... Don't forget about the reduction gears this time round 😉 Super excited to see the Sooty MKII build unfold!
Good luck Shauno, I did the same thing just over a year ago, cracked my chassis in my original turbo diesel 80, bought a petty auto, and converted it to turbo diesel manual. I didn't get the luxury of swapping electrical looms over as the original 80's loom I had, had been hacked around that much, that it was "easier" or so I thought to adapt the petty loom to suit, trust me, that's a job you don't want to do. Best thing I did "while I was at it" was take the bare chassis and have it professionally coated at place (over here in Perth) that coats underground mine vehicles, that way every single bit of the chassis get cleaned and coated, inside and out, also I did a GVM upgrade while I was at it as the car needed engineering for the mods, so, kind of silly not to. Great series, please do plenty of vids, the memories of doing mine are coming back already, good on ya
Separating the chassis and coating it is an extremely good idea
Also in perth about to do a chassis swap on my patrol, what's the name of the joint that you got the coating done?
@@corycampbell4583 they rust out because there boxed. 'c' section chassis dont rust..mates 80 also had seperated rad /dody/chassis mounts, very thin ''steel''. id be upgrading all those cracked points. there not meant to do what we do to them. extra plating on all mounting points. his radius mounts on diff just tore off. too much lift/twist. nissan dont do that. toyota have horizontal bushing on chassis. no flex. nissan,range rover, f series, have a ball type mount. no stress.. yeh,,,go toyota,,no thanks..
@@harrywalker5836 nissan gu coil cabs have the problem with the chassis on the drivers side near the sub tanks where they rust from the in side out due to something to do with the a aircon
Go through sooty and look at where it's cracked, beef those areas up right from the start.
For instance, the movement that will have resulted from those front body mounts breaking is probably responsible for the cracked guards etc. Welding in a piece of 3mm plate around those mounts to prevent that fatigue cracking will go a long way to improving its long term reliability.
You should also look at relocating the alternator up higher. You may be able to swap the alternator and AC positions.
Relocate all of the wiring and everything electrical possible to be above seat height. Anywhere you have to have electrical lower down use waterproof plugs.
Having done that, run vinyl floors and put a few drain points in it, that way you can just hose it out. Upshot is you'll also make it a lot harder to drown and cause electrical issues with.
Rear winch...
Diy gull wings...
It isn't a vdj the alternator is already very high compared to most and in the factory position it is very easy to clean and swap out roadside not to mention buying parts. Almost every workshop in Australia has Fanbelts, idler pullys and alternators to suit in stock
@@jarradblair1793 Normally I would agree with you, but Shauno is about as far from a typical use case as you're ever going to find for a road going vehicle. The fact he fills it full of mud every second trip is evidence enough of that.
I won't be moving mine, but you have to consider that he puts his vehicle through far more than we do. What mine sees in a year he does in a slow week. Nevermind Tassie.
But then the forces that cracked the mounts will go elsewhere. You could almost argue that an absorption method would be better.
Huge fan of vinyl and drains
Lol car is going to the dump, twisted chassis.
@@somerandom7215 these are upgrades for the new car
Put all the dirt from the footwell in sooty into a jar to keep because it literally has Australia in in it 🇦🇺
@@intimatespearfisher what?! Lol
Auction it off.
duujo that would be funny to see some complete moron buy a jar of dust
Jack sparrow
I got a jar of dirt I got a jar of dirt
Would be cool to see hoe much dirt they got out of sooty.
I can't wait to see the build unfold old soot definetley needs it
Auction off signed bits off Sooty to fans, sure it would go some way to fund the new build.
Better yet, put the proceeds from the auction towards flood affected communities.
They have/make enough money....
@@elsamo311 good shout
@@elsamo311 Isn't that what insurance is for?
its a sad moment but i'm exited for new builds (RIP Sooty)
No one asked but
@@omar55544 so
dont chop it please
It's sad 'cause I won't see sooty again I'll miss it but there's another look alike build and knowing that some parts from sooty are in it,I think it I'll be a consolation and I'll love it like i loved sooty.much love from Kenya.
Put Rollover Protection or rollcage.
Last videos I watched on this channel were the $300k chopped 200. This is way more relevant to my needs (budget). Interested to see this builds progress.
They'd charge you 2000$ AUD just to give a quote on those custom canopies for the other new cars they have. nice to see all angles are covered
2 sooty is going to be a weapon, I’d put all the sound deadening on the floors and in doors and that and then put vinyl flooring down so it doesn’t go mouldy and rip.
RIP Sooty, you've been absolute gun and we will miss you dearly.
It's a car 😂😂😂 calm down
@@barryhall5266 your names barry hall ROFL
We've all seen how you drive, while it's apart now might as well put a roll cage in it so that it keeps the chassis from bending and twisting and having to do all this over again in a few years not to mention all the added safety
New drinking game - have a shot every time Shauno says "bittersweet"
Deadset
I literally had this exact same, word for word thought hahaha
Also "and um"
105 series Land Cruiser steering box upgrade and keep it a wagon. Love the wagon look on the 80 series.
damn, if the 105 box is considered an upgrade the 80 series ones must be real bad!
Man I can’t, cant, can’t wait to see the first walk around sooty mark II. I love sooty, first time I stumble upon the channel I got goose bumps listening to that rig scream. I’m a diesel kind of guy, I own two old mercs and just gives it so much character. I love all you guys, truly makes us laugh watching the show. Favorite part is watching the cooking part!!
Cheers 🍻
I’m looking forward to the build Shauno. Thanks for keeping a budget in mind and keeping it a realistic venture for the commoners.
Should find a new name for it. It’s not sooty anymore. Accessories don’t really count.
Enjoy the build champ. Can’t wait to see the next episode.
I’ve never felt so many emotions about someone else’s car. Excellent work Shauno, I’d say you destroyed the original sooty as beautifully and slowly as possible. My 1996 Jeep Cherokee has cracks starting all over and I feel the end coming. It drives amazingly and I can’t imagine replacing it but at 283k miles I’m starting to see things that I can’t fix.
Frame stiffeners and tie in plates. Mine xj is on 37s and locked. It's been getting wheeled hard for 10+ years. They will do wonders for the un.
Do you have any cracking or did you install stiffeners early on? The joint between my b pillars and roof is starting to split. Track bar and steering box areas still look ok but my t case mount/ crossmember is about to crack in half. It was an Alaska jeep so I do have some rust. I’m trying to decide if I replace parts and keep her going or start looking for a new body to put my fresh parts on. It’s a family Jeep I’ve ridden in since I was 6 and it was brand new. It’s my absolute favorite vehicle of all time but part of me thinks it’s time to cut the losses and go for mark 2.
I added mine well after the carnage started. I tore my steering box through the mounts. Cracks in trans tunnel and above doors were pinch seem was. Also had cracks in rear frame rail by shackle mounts. I grinded out the cracks. Filled them with weld and added mid and front stiffeners. That was 8 to 10 years ago and honestly haven't had another issue with body flex or cracking. I to love my little xj and all the cool places we have went together. It's been to moab Utah. It's done the Rubicon. It's been all over the east coast. The xj is certainly part of my family. My 3 year old tells me it's his jeep all the time. Best of luck to you and I hope you don't give up on her yet. Mines at 401000 miles and going strong.
That’s fantastic, 401k is awesome. Is there anywhere I can see pictures of your set up? Theres something special about a good family vehicle. My 7 year old sits right where I did when I was that age. It was my Aunt and Uncles Jeep when I was little.
I'm still a younging from South Africa 🇿🇦. I have recently got into off Roading and this channel has been such an amazing inspiration and a space for me learning...
I don't really have a group of mates that I can do it with. But the biggest thing I take from this channel is the the good memories that you can make with your friends.
I'm striving to create for myself financial freedom so that I can purse this passion of mine and ours.
One love 🇿🇦🇦🇺❤️
Just wondering if the guys have ever touched on getting engineering certificates for heavily modded cars during the various builds. Like approximate of the time it might take to find a good engineer that will even talk to you seriously about your intended modifications, possibly ball park prices (could be hard to gauge though for different states etc) and small things people might forget that are needed to pass certification.
25:45 The more GU Patrol parts you put in the better!🤣
Am a huge fan from Kenya... I don't think there is any video you upload I don't watch... Can't wait to see the new build
That's awesome man, is there a big 4WD scene over there?
Early 80 series had smaller brakes and weaker front coil towers that bend very easy, would recommend cutting the ones from sooty and welding them onto sooty 2.0 or brace them. The bend upwards from the bump stops colliding.
its a 1fz-fe so that means it already has the bigger brakes. it changed when they changed from 3f to 1fz
@@gazza750 would likely still have the issue with the coil towers though
Pretty sure Sooty is a 91 and the 1fz didn’t come out until late 92/ early 93 so either way the replacement chassis and body are newer than the original.
Wow, haven't even finished the episode and already found so many spot to clean that don't get the attention.. cheers mate 🤙🤙
Hi from tassie, I suggest bilge pumps in the vehicle for those soggy moments
You definitely want some vinyl flooring it that one and maybe a beer tap of Iron Jack in the back for all the ones you will be owing
I filled every nook and cranny with Prolan. A product made here in nz basically from sheep's wool lanolin. My GQ saf will never rust. Applied with an "airboy" applicator gun and extension hose.. Good luck with the build Shauno..And thanks for the entertainment over the years..
Shauno you have had cruisers for as long as I've know you I sat on Grahams bonnet and the very original dirty 30 and tonight at the night I'm watching this you have motivated me to clean up my wiring and interior of my cruiser so I thank you for all the laughs and good memories from 4wd action when I was a little boy in nappys so I thank you and Graham cheers fellas
Should put a hydraulic brake booster in it for some of those sketchy hill climbs
Australia's 🇦🇺 hardest work truck RIP.
Sooty mark 2 new memories 💪
Make the OG a garden feature 😎
i love the little stabs of the throttle and the look off "this dirty old petrol sounds alright" hahaha
Can't wait for Sooty mark 2....Good luck on your new built...cheers🤙
RIP Sooty … what a legend … nobody is surprised with the damage !
Flipped front radius arms for more clearance and more flex 💪
The vehicle looked like it was all one piece, but it really wasn’t. I’ve never felt so upset for someone else’s vehicle to just be taken apart and rebuilt into something we don’t have a clue of. Mr Whale and his 80 series have really put a smile on my face and inspired me to buy an 80 series as my first car (when I’m old enough). It was because of this car an 80 series is my dream. I’m sad and happy for you shaun and hope for the best. Cant wait to see the Mk2 of SOOTY.
I would LOVE to see a Hi-Lo series on 4WD 24-7. Two identical vehicles with one getting top end parts and other cutting all the corners. I vote Shauno get's the Lo!
already missing the OG Sooty... is this one gonna be Too-sooty?
The slow and the sooty?
@@bengardiner4303 2 slow 2 sooty
"Too Sooty" is winning.
Great idea Jeremy
@@archmonks348 thanks arch
Hey Shauno, I had an auto HDJ81 and did a manual conversion it wasn't at all easy. I couldn't see if your donor 80 was auto or manual but if it was auto there are a few things you should do while the dash and interior is out. !st thing is the clutch pedal box mount under the dash isn't there. the top one. 2nd the trans tunnel is different, I cut mine out and used the donor tunnel and made it bolt in, so much easier to get the box in and out. 3rd the gearbox x member captive nuts arnt in the chassis in the same place, man/ auto so i had to modify the x member and in NZ that meant a LVVTA cert was required. And as you have already addressed the loom was different. The drive shafts were different lengths. I had to get a new crank for my motor and at the time Toyota NZ had brand new 1HDT short blocks for 3.5 grand. I wish id seen that before i had spent a queens ransom reconing my old motor. Any way good luck mate, i'm glad its you you doing it. Cheers from NZ Phil
I've found it always pays to go genuine new Toyota parts and usually surprised how reasonably priced!
Yeah it was auto, but interesting that the trans tunnel is different as well.
@@MitchZero9 The openings for the levers were in different places. It was just easier to cut the tunnel top off and swap them over.
Mate fairly confident theyll just bolt the plates on and drive it, same color and all - only when its looked at closely will he be in strife.
Awesome video love watching the build and love that you are keeping sooty alive! Great series can't wait for the next part
I guess when you need a tough wheeler to go hard 4wding you switch to the obvious, Daryl.
For someone who changes their diff fluid every trip, think you should check some other things lol
I can’t wait to see how this turns out. Looking forward to all the tracks it’s going to run.
Really sad to see Sooty being laid to rest, I have enjoyed greatly watching Shauno wield this magnificent machine in the most wildest places that OZ has to offer. Looking forward to seeing Sooty MK 2 build. Cheers to all the lads of 4WD 24-7 for the most amazing channel that's my happy place.
New drinking game - on this weeks video, every time Shauno says “bitter sweet” you have to skull a beer
Was thinking the same thing. Everyone will be pretty fucked afterwards 🤣
Take a shot for every um
Another one bites the Soot(a desiel's "dust"). Also R.I.P. Sooty "rest in pieces"
RIP Sooty. You've been one heckava tough and dpendable rig. You will be missed 😢 But looking forward to seeing the Sooty Mk2 build. 👍
Absolutely spewin that it’s getting torn down but can’t wait for the bigger and better things to come. Going to be good to watch, having a few cold ones.
Here's a tip: Use antifreeze.
It helps a lot preventing corrosion.
gonna need a gvm upgrade to haul all that mud around
Sorry for your loss mate. I could see it in your eyes and hear it in your voice early in the vid. It's tough loosing a member of the family.
Thanks for sharing the adventure of building Sooty mk II with us. Greetings from Suriname and the Netherlands
Can’t wait to see sooty back on the tracks rolling coal
I'd strengthen what failed on the old sooty. The chassis, figure out how it twisted and toughen it up. Also the body mounts, see if there are some better aftermarket ones.
I cannot wait to see the rest of this build
Love from Turkey 🇹🇷
Salute - to a truck and driver that USED IT as intended!
Tip for fitting the GU steering box: upgrade to a GU chassis and body at the same time. Sorted 👍
Hydraulic brakes and steering damper assist would be sweet to have
Great video boys sad to see old sooty go but can’t wait to see what rig you turn old soot into
Thats a time were you think how lucky you are to see some parts of our country that alot of people can't. Can't wait to see Sooty.2, and hope is a Luxy.
I'd suggest a double GU diff conversion, double locked of course. Those things are strong!
Always said an 80 with GU diffs, or a GU with a 1HDFT is the ultimate 4wd
Chuck GU diffs under it👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Sad to see sooty go. Been watching you guys for years and sooty was always my favorite rig
Haven't read all the comments to see if this was mentioned yet but a better way to kill a wasp nest is just a bit of diesel in a spray bottle. They drop as soon as it hits them no need to build a torch and chance fire damage to wiring or other parts. Just a quick tip.
Sad to see sooty go but can't wait to see mk2 on the road after seeing what you did with the new dirty 30.
Surely reduction gears and 37s for sooty mkii 🤓
Shauno neglected this car too much. It was the best car on the channel!
He had the donor car for 7 months. I'd guess they knew that sooty wasn't sensible to fix for some time(either the twisted chassis or body cracks) once it's that far gone there's not much point doing more than the very basics to keep it moving until its convenient to take it off the road.
Shawno, Hi from Arizona USA. Next time you get a wasp nest like that. Spray it with a mixture of Dish soap and water. Kills wasps faster than anything, stops them from flying and attacking you. Plus you won't risk catching anything on fire. I get about 3 nest a year around my place each summer and this works everytime.
You can sell stuff from her despite the condition or give away to fans so that she will always be remembered bro .... we'll miss her so much 😭😭😭 I'm sure fans will love parts from her with all of your signatures on it ....big love from 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
22:33 Remember to give that dash support a coat of paint.
Good way to prevent internal rust.
I believe the wiper assembly will be bare metal as well.
Reduction Gears and Portal Axles. This will make Sooty an absolute weapon.
Shauno, got an jdea for the interior:
Remkve the back seat and go a 3/4 full length false floor / draw system.
On the rear passenger side, put in another false floor basically a base and then mount an upright fridge - you cam the mount your redarc on tje drivers side.
The best possible mod to make is to sell the 80 series and buy a Mighty Triton
You'd have to be kidding
why don't you fix all the faulty things that failed on the old one, reinforce the body mounts etc. reinforce the chassis so it's not flopping around and tearing the body apart.
Rewelding a whole chassis and fixing those cracks is an incredibly time intensive project that requires a complete stripdown of the body to the metal.
@@Dubst3pT3ch i'm not talking about fixing the old rooted chassis. i'm talking about fixing the design flaws in the new chassis and body so it takes longer to end up like the old one. because when this ones finished he won't be finding another one for 4k to run into the ground.
@@6226superhurricane keep in mind the last one lasted 600,000ks before all this had happened, and it had a very hard life to get to the state it's in so probably not worth it
I'm loving this already. Sooty mk 2 would look sick with dual snorkels loving it shauno can't wait for Sooty last trip aswell
Thanks for the segment with the mechanic! That crack - woah! Good ol' Toyota made it, though!
Just a thought, wouldn’t it be cool if sooty mk2 was an auto. It would make sooty such a weapon.
He already has 2 autos very doubtfull he will build a third
Hey Shauno don't stress.. we won't stop loving Sootie. But can't wait to see what you do next mate.
That's a good attitude. Reuse all parts you can from the good old Sooty to build the new one. Awesome idea!
Its sad to see it like this
but we won't say goodbye
We'd say we'll
See u soon😊
Wish you all the best
Looking forward to it
Gonna miss that old truck! What a weapon. I’d recommend reduction gears and vinyl floor. The rest you got under control. Cheers from Canada!
Poor Sooty! Sweet find on the petrol (gas here in the states) model! I’d done a few diesel swaps here and you’re going the right direction! I wish we had all the good diesel models here that you have there! As for the build goes, on my recent build I put Herculiner on the inside of mine after I had taken the carpet out. I still put the carpet back in but it has really cut down on the cabin noise! I would say that the Raptor liner would do the same job!
This content is brilliant I love the build vids ! Keep em coming 😍
Pore sooty both you and me and everyone else have had some great memories with that car like 6 years ago when you very first came out with 4wd action rest easy big girl 👍🤙
So cool. I am excited to watch this as i build my 80!
Please go 1hdt again! We hear all about 1hdtfe engines allllllll the time and they are great, be great to mix it up. Plus then I can have tips for mine 🤝
Good luck from USA! Can't wait to see more on sooty #2
Saw sooty a few weeks ago looked good but needed some love
A ROPS cage would be a great idea.
The other thing I'd suggest is chassis re-enforcement, around all the attachment points.
My off road vehicle is rather unconventional by the standards around here, but has taken me to some crazy places. It is a 1961 VW Kombi bus we call the Rustybus. I do an off road trip with friends every year called the Shasta Snow Trip. After 20 years doing that trip and others the body has been showing cracks like Sooty has and finally this year after a particularly challenging section of road I found that the frame had cracked all the way through behind the front suspension. It still got me to the next town (that consisted of a tiny country store and nothing else) where I managed to talk to the locals and found a guy who drove over in his Porsche out from the woods and TIG welded the frame back together, for free(I did give him some cash to say thanks), filling a gap of almost 1 cm or more. I then caught up with my buddies having only missed two sections of the route and finished the next two days of the trip. We added some plate steel to reinforce it after the trip and I hope to address the other little cracks before it goes the way of Sooty.
I still remember one of the episode, It's Shauno's 3rd attempt on Commando and Sooty just crawled up no problem.. Sooty will surely be missed but I can't wait to see the new and Improved Sooty MK2
Great video Shauno !
RIP Sooty Mk-1....thank you for your services...🙏
Building a car is hard work. Do it right first time around. Take the cab off the chassis. Sort out all your chassis mods, fabricate new cab mounts, install/weld in crush tubes into chassis under plates for bigger power steer boxes etc. Raptor paint chassis. Rear disc brake conversion and transfer case mounted hand brake usually go in together.
Cab; prep body work and paint, raptor is pretty cool stuff. Install sound deadening on floor inside. Also, now is the time to decide if you like the colour of your dashboard and other associated interior plastics. If not use Duplicolour 'vinyl and fabric' paint. Clean and overhaul your air con hot n cold boxes.
Overhaul/rebuild all the running gear. 👍
Raptor paint diffs, paint engine block and gearboxes white. - easier to spot leaks.
Basically, rebuild and dummy fit nearly the whole car then take it all apart, then put it back together again. Great times to be had here, when I'm working on mine, I get up and down off the concrete floor something like 50 times a day. 👍👍
Sadist 😂
WoW what a mission ... but Sooty MK II cant wait to see it ... big thumbs up
I’m here for the part out. I need that water to air in my life.
No way. I am currently rebuilding my 80 1fz-fe. Send me some parts! Haha, I thought mine was bad but sooty has seen better days
This build series is gonna be good!
Thanks Shauno, you’ve now made the petrol 80’s prices rise 😂 Love the video mate, excited to see more 🤙🏽
Amazing what these cars can go through and still work. The way Shauno says 'shazzy' instead of chassis is like fingernails on a blackboard for me!
sooty was my dream 80 and i am glad that you are making a mk2 but its still a very sad day RIP Sooty
Good luck with the build, I look forward to watching to build. Flip your radius arms would be a good mod.
