This week we just wanted to share all the gear on the patrol and how it's set-up. We get a lot of questions about the car, so hopefully this video helps. Happy to answer any questions you have and thanks for the support

Have a couple mates that do gearbox repairs in WA. They said they make there living of Toyota's. In 24 years they have only done one patrol. I have exactly the same patrol 1990 st. Same colour same steering wheel lol. No mods really, Just big wheels. I'm pretty sure yours has 10 inch wide same as mine not 8" ..mine only one owner before me. I have thought about selling but to buy what! A very expensive vehicle that's not as good. A toyota that costs a fortune and a fortune to repair. My injectors cost $350. 79 injectors you looking at 10k. Try taking the starter motor out of a 79! Try it on a gq and see what's better to work on. Not to mention the price of other newer vehicle parts. I would rather spend money on adventures and memories. I think I'll keep my ol coil sprung patrol, it's better on my bad back. Love your videos love the run down Adam, keep em coming I really enjoy them.
Spot on there mate, we thought of getting a 79 dual cab, even test drove one, but for the cost to buy and set-up, could have 18 months off work! And the old patrol is bush proof 🤠👍
Was great to meet you yesterday. Love how tidy and simple everything is, and it’s a realistic build that has really been used and seen so much of Australia. Cheers for the cold can of Coke to!
Adam I still think that you have maybe the best 4x4 ever made, me , my wife bought me a 2013 bt50 and it’s an amazing step up from from my 1996 Jeep. So just keep spending money on your unit.
Thanks John, really appreciate the kind words. The best 4wd there is the one in your driveway. Our neighbour has the same model bt50 and it's been trouble free with 1/2 million kms on it! So they ain't to bad either 🤠👍
Great Set up. Thanks for sharing
Just met you guys at the show
What a lovely couple the soft drink hit the spot 😊
The patrol looks great too in real
Life
Keep up the terrific videos
Thanks Jason, really appreciate the support and it was a fantastic experience. Lots of motivation to keep going with the videos, your welcome on the drinks too 🤠👍
Love the set up. I wish I knew how to work on 4 wds.
I just started with pulling something out of the Patrol and working out how it works and putting in new bits. Luckily for me the patrol is very basic and easy to learn on 🤠👍
glad to see one can get by without the 'fancy' additions which goes into the 1000's. Very practical and simple. I drive a '94 y60 rx edition and like yourselves deliberately kept it minimalistic and practical. I've engineered up some brackets that uses the existing factory mounting points for the bonnet and mounted them along with a pair of struts. Makes it a lots easier when looking under bonnet. Your setup has given me some ideas on weight reduction too. Thanks for sharing.....great video.
Cheers mate, I do like the simplicity of the old gq, the bonnet struts sounds pretty cool 🤠
Always good to see what others have done with their rigs. I have built my own drawer systems and given many of the pre-built systems are 60kg you really do save a lot of weight doing it yourself. I think my system total would be about 25-30kg, maybe a little more now I have actual locking slides but still better than pre-built ones. Good to see the old girl still going good, being maintained and doing what she is built for.
Great to hear, love a custom made solution. I don't think people realise how heavy all these accessories weigh. But 30kg is fantastic. Great job 🤠👍
Good dig on the 79 😮 mate you should be proud, that’s a very awesome GQ. So we’ll set up, everything you need and nothing you dont. Love to catch up with guys for a weekend of camping and 4wding. I’ve got a GU TD42
It's a great old truck that just keeps going, the td42 has got to be one of the most reliable engines in a 4wd. Definitely need another catch up weekend 🤠👍
Can’t wait to see you guys in Brisbane show
I've said it before but I'll say it again... You've got a great rig and it has certainly taken you (and us) to a lot of wonderful places. 🙂
Cheers mate, it's been a amazing vehicle, it's more like a family member. Hopefully after all these changes we can spend more time travelling in it than working on it 😅
I'm with you bro. I love my y61 which I have made into a 2 seater camper. . I will be travelling Australia in it and so far on the short camping trips I've done it's been great .. I've loaded it with heaps of luxuries like hot water service, lithium batteries, water tank with pump to provide water to the slide out kitchen. Drawer system built from ultra lightweight plywood. Lots of OCAM gear ( I think they are great value) eg. Hard shell rooftop tent. 270 awning, shower tent. All light weight stuff. Even have a dunny stored away. . Still under my GVM ! So love your GQ and your channel ✅
Cheers Jason, that patrol of yours sounds like a weapon of a tourer. Love to check it out one day. Slide out kitchen sounds awesome 👌
How awesome to show your cool patrol. Older and more simple is the way to go...too many electronics in cars of today 😊
We agree! And can't wait for show day, we've been very busy cleaning and detailing everything 😎
I'll see you at the show. I've already got tickets for the Saturday.
Awesome, we are in the show n shine, shouldn't be hard to find us 🤠👍
I was going to watch 4wd 247 saw your vid. Clicked on your bud!!
Thanks mate, really do appreciate the support. It's all well and good to watch someone trash there 4wd, but it gets expensive for those of us who aren't sponsored 😅
That's the neatest ole boy I've seen
Cheers mate 👍🤠
I run some genuine landcruiser convex mirrors, a bit expensive but they bolt straight on, dont stick out like micky mouse ears but give excellent vision. Im surprised you haven't quarter chopped and replaced the rear bar.
I'd love a rear bar but weight is the issue, when we hook up the trailer there is a lot at the very rear of the chassis and don't want any extra. Cheers for watching 👍, I've thought about those cruiser mirrors and wondered how they go
Great vid. Like the suggestion of using the mat with reflective side from Kmart to keep the back cool. Was looking at something to do with mine. Definitely will be trying this mod - can I ask how you secured it. Thinking of automotive double sided tape but interested in what you used.
I think it's either double sided tape or possibly Velcro, I haven't taken them off since put them in. They work a treat and easy to cut to size 🤠
Would like to see more about those drawers. Mine are wood and weigh 15kgin drawer itself
Hi, have you seen Aussie Arvos, Atoto head unit. His brother ute with head unit in a box he built on the dash.
I love what you do. I know I've said it before, but every time I see your rig and trailer...
I would be tempted to set the trailer up with LT highway tyres...they don't drive so the don't need to be M/T's and offer less rolling resistance - especially important offroad where you have to use the patrol to overcome the extra rolling resistance of the M/T's.
Yeah we swapped them to all terrain to match the patrol. Don't know if it was a mistake going 33x12.5x15, great off road but definitely uses more diesel to pull it
Great show guys thanks.
When are you going to get Joe a Barra?
I know, we have been talking about this for months now, need more time off work 😉
Hi Adam what is the brand of Lithium battery shower with thanks Chris Rayfield
It's from FLEXTAIL. Really happy with it to. Super easy to use and no issues at all 🤠👍
My 80series is like yours its vinal flooring windup windows all basic and no electronics im old school and its simple basic no computers and iff ya got a problem its easy sometimes to fix thats what a true 4x4 should be if ya going bush and far far away 😉 and comfy to drive too 😀👍
Yeah the 80 series are a weapon, the 90s are probably the pinnacle of real 4x4s. The just go everywhere and super tough 🤠👍
Where did you get the bonnet protector and the door weather shields from ?
Ocam
Lovely Ep and set up Guys, I fitted Air bag Man Airbags with Kevlar covers in the back of our old 80 series They did not fit in our Coils nicely and one cover has torn, with in a few weeks of just driving on the black top. Not impressed so for, in 7 weeks I am doing a 8 to 12 week trip up to Weipa and the Gulf and maybe Kimberly, I recon they will not last. It should have on them to use with a certain size Coil. say 250 to 300kg max. ours are 600kg coils,
Have got mentioned this to airbag man? Might be covered under warranty? Ours have been great and problem free.
thanks @@GoingOverland
What brand air mattress is it that you have? My wife would love that on some of our weekend getaways.
It's from flextail. Has a in built pump and lithium battery so you can carry to the beach in a bag 🤠
Hi, I will soon be looking for a second-hand patrol. Around 30 to 40 k. I like low km. What should I look for. I want one with little modifications.
Buy one with all the mods will save you $$$$ for a couple more grand
Go for a td42 and if you can find a non turbo diesel, it's probably not been over worked. Look closely for rust in the roof, sills and windows, everything else can be fixed, but rust is a huge problem
Hey mate what year TJM bar am model was this , there bars that I’ve had quoted look a lot different..”like this one , like an old school arb bar
I'm not sure, we bought it second hand for $200, was told it's a tjm, definitely not a arb which pushes out around the winch. Either way I think it's a great looking bullbar
I hope Melissa didn’t comment when you said you saved 100kilos weight! 🙈🙉 Then you added two more children! 🐕🦮🙏🙈
🤣🤣🤣👍🤠
