Love the thoughtful design improvements! I never understood why so many vehicles were made with the lip under the arch that attracts so much dirt and grime! Especially on a 4x4!! Awesome job!
Great job Johnny, you are a truly very skilled guy. That rear arch repair job would scare many off as they would prefer to spend money and buy a replacement arch. Well done Johnny.
Some say that when the nuclear apocalypse comes, the only things to survive will be cockroaches and Johnnys Fourtrak! Still not sure if you are ambitious or certifiably insane, but I'm loving the series. Thanks for sharing the journey once again dude. 👍
Pro job Johnny as always (I’m kinda jealous of your skills)! 🤩 No shortcuts can be taken over here, as your supervisor, Jake is always watching you! 😉🤜🏻💥🤛🏻😎
Thank you! I would class myself as a car trader first however over the years I have developed a mixture of skills which have allowed me to dabble in the odd restoration as you see in this fourtrak series. Thanks for watching!
Brilliant job Johnny, iv a hilux tub which needs work on arches but can't locate any repair panels. 2011 does anyone know of a supplier or will they need to be fabricated.
Cheers Keith. I restored a 2009 MK6 Hilux with a rotten tub and found that panels were non-existent so had to custom fabricate. The videos are on my channel in case it’s any help 👍
Glad to hear that you’re enjoying it! I am using 0.8mm steel on the body / floors to match up with the original steel. Obviously I’ve used thicker stuff on the chassis / suspension mounts etc 👍
Thanks Deborah. At the moment I’m unsure what I’ll do with it. I always said I’d keep it for myself and enjoy it, but money talks so I may end up getting tempted and selling up!
@@JohnnyGetsCash If you do decide to sell it please let me know. My husband has 5 and I know he would love to have one in the conditon that you are restoring in. Thank you
Hi Johnny. I have a 25 year old Rivera that I bought brand new in 1997. I haven’t used it a great deal over the years as evidenced by its mileage < 50k. Having recently failed its MoT due to rusty inner sills and rust in the back end I feel it would be a shame to scrap it. Unfortunately I don’t have anyone I could trust to fix it properly. That is until now having seen your videos. Is this something you could help with. Don’t know where you are based. I live in Wakefield.
Hi Joseph, thanks for your comment. Unfortunately I’m absolutely flat out right now and for the foreseeable on my own fourtrak/ several other restorations that are stacking up in the workshop. Your Fourtrak does sound very interesting though so I do hope that you can get it sorted. Failing that, I’ll always be a buyer for a truck like that should you decide to sell it! You can contact me through instagram if you’d like to 👍 Cheers
FairPlay Johnny, this is going to be one of the last fourtracks left on the road in the near future, enjoying watching the progress of this 👌🏻
Cheers Chris! Hopefully she’ll have plenty of years left after all this graft - they’re worth saving!

Cheers Terry! I guess it was for ease of production but it certainly hasn’t helped them over the years! Onwards and upwards now though 👍👍

You’re exactly right! The boss is always watching so I can’t get lazy on the job!
You’re a hero!
Wow, that's some great work mate, she is going to be better than when she come out of the factory. Love your work.
Thanks Dave…hopefully! My attitude is that if I’ve got to go deep on this one, it may as well become the best example out there when it’s done!
@@JohnnyGetsCash Mate I know it will be the best example out there, your work is truly that good.
Another great video showcasing your fabrication skills. What a transformation.
Thanks very much! It’ll be a great feeling when all the metal work is done, that’s for sure!

Been enjoying this series, would love an old fourtrek! Was wondering what thickness of steel plate your using for patching the floor and arches etc?
Glad to hear that you’re enjoying it! I am using 0.8mm steel on the body / floors to match up with the original steel. Obviously I’ve used thicker stuff on the chassis / suspension mounts etc 👍
Proper job! What you do with the truck when you have finished?
Thanks Deborah. At the moment I’m unsure what I’ll do with it. I always said I’d keep it for myself and enjoy it, but money talks so I may end up getting tempted and selling up!
