Absolutely un-bloody-believably! I never knew you could do that...to anything! I’m smelling lots of money though. Love to know the end cost when it’s all finished. What a beast! 😱
Great watch Justin, you keep it simple and understandable with relevant points. Anyone needing an upgrade should be sold on this. Safe Travels, Anton & Tania
I'm glad these episodes are coming out weekly... It gives me a chance to stop hyperventilating as I watch brand new Landcruisers getting chopped up! LOL. I'm glad I saw the finished product in the background in Ep1 so at least I know it has a happy ending. Another great vid. Thanks.
WOW that is some amazing engineering mate what a amazing feat and effort to ultimately get ur dream rig that will get u and the family to more amazing destinations job well done 👍
That is pretty scary to see a brand new car getting cut with an angle grinder, i was more keen on a chop before i seen this video ahahah. Will be a beast when its done mate, cant wait to see the finished result. Cheers.
great job guys you are rocking this new car! cant wait for you guys to get back on the road when this whole disaster is over. can you pls come to mount gambier next time you are around and visit SORRENTOS CAFE our family own it and my dad would love you to try his beer he makes love you guys
Wow, I knew it was very involved but what an eye opener. This is so much better than a chassis extension. One thing I'd like to know though is "how much is the wheelbase actually extended by over std?
So you've gone from 6850 kg GCM to 8995 GCM. 2145 extra kgs, and the advantage of the gull wing camper back. Plus car ride, not a bouncy truck. I'm not envious, BS, I'm turning bright green. Interesting to watch the reno. I'm an interstate truckie and budding caravanner. Cops are right on trucks and weights, as they should. Some caravanners have no idea of weights and legal obligations. Talking to a tow truck driver in Alice Springs, every now and then would recover smashed van and car, insurance co would ask him to weigh them. Weigh truck with smashed van, and or car on back, then weigh empty truck, gave the weights. Some vans and or cars were overweight, either by themselves, or GCM, if overweight, unroadworthy, so no insurance payout. So those extra kgs capacity are legal gold.
Just goes to show how doing all the right resesrch pays off. Like Caleb said, theres plenty of guys out there that do these conversions, but not this good. The time taken to research and build it properly is definitely worth the dollars paid. Nice work Justin, shes certainly a weapon...
Hi guys great vids only issue is that the cruiser is not parked in my driverway. What was the weight of your last van and GCM with the BT 50? Also did it tow ok as i have a ranger and getting a van built but not sure if the power will be enough.
Well done. Now my thought. The kids getting older. Then camping for them. Each having a tent. So they have there space and you with yours. Then take out there beds and add a bar. Russell
very cool wish we could get these in the states , our 200s are over priced luxury cars sunroof leather 3 rows 2nd row entreatment screens $90,000 us $ toyota should of sold just a basic off roader leave the luxury cars to Lexus do want a 200 some day
Well done guys, you must be stoked. Would love to get something like that. But a question, the AEV guy didn't comment on the GCM and its no on your SSM label either. How does that work when everything I read says GCM upgrades are not available?
1. Cutting up a Brand New 200 Series.... Ouch 2. Where do the rear cuts go? Panel shops? Part out? 3. Do they provide government approved sedatives once the angle grinders start? 4. How do you sell to your partner, we are buying a $75,000 car, then cutting it in half?
YES LOVE BIG COST THERE WHAT ABOUT DRIVING LICENCE BECAUSE GO TO MAX WEIGHT OF 4.5 TON ON YOUR DUAL CAB 200 SERIES CARRY PLUS ADD WEIGHT OF 3.5 TON TAKE ON ROAD TO 8 TON ON CAR LICENCE THAT PUT OVER YOUR LICENCE WEIGHT DRIVING ON ROAD
Oh you naughty boy. So the numbers are the same, just the letters in front change? I have to admit I like some of the music on your vids, where do I find out about them?

Brilliant videos.
Martin Black to spec an f truck to what we have done here would cost more, and it’s hard to get parts and mechanical work on f trucks in remote areas of Australia
Great to see no PCOR rubbish

Make sure you leave the tap on after a crash to drain the tanks.

v8 greg thanks mate hey. Measure twice cut once I reckon🤙
@@TripInAVan lol, yeah you dont want it going back for another chop....that would be painful.
👍
And girls 😄
That is gonna be a beast when it’s done, I watched Port Hedland to Brooke last night your kids are so funny, stay safe from the uk
Darren Gregory cheers mate ✌️
Great video mate. So much info that that you don’t get on other build vids. Looking forward to the rest of it.
Glad you enjoyed
Nice car Hodgey
Hi guys great vids only issue is that the cruiser is not parked in my driverway. What was the weight of your last van and GCM with the BT 50? Also did it tow ok as i have a ranger and getting a van built but not sure if the power will be enough.
ACE CAMPER last van was 3.2 tonne and car was 3.5tonne. We had an upgraded gcm of 7tonne. It did it no dramas hey💪
Hi guys, I just started following your adventures, very cool. Random question, where did you purchase the tinted weather shields please?

You forgot to mention u have to sell your house to pay for it
I'm jealous
Yep
First in, 🙃 love AEV , great work
Colin Cook thanks mate
Thoroughly enjoyed the video.. but is this not just upgrading a tundra with extra steps? No hate just curious

1. Cutting up a Brand New 200 Series.... Ouch

3. Do they provide government approved sedatives once the angle grinders start?
4. How do you sell to your partner, we are buying a $75,000 car, then cutting it in half?
Hugh Jazz 😂😂😂 mostly goes to wreckers and the tip🤙
Where are you buying a 200 series for $75k?
@@51MPL $75k usd maybe. or 5 year aussie one... lol
Must of cost a small fortune!
has anyone ever done or thought of doing a 200 series chop to a single cab chassis
Why the 200 series ? Why not go 79 series as it is already a dual cab ?
Marino TeAre more comfort, auto trans, more power👍👍
YES LOVE BIG COST THERE
WHAT ABOUT DRIVING LICENCE BECAUSE GO TO MAX WEIGHT OF 4.5 TON ON YOUR DUAL CAB 200 SERIES CARRY PLUS ADD WEIGHT OF 3.5 TON TAKE ON ROAD TO 8 TON ON CAR LICENCE THAT PUT OVER YOUR LICENCE WEIGHT DRIVING ON ROAD
Stop yelling ;)
How did you feel seeing your brand new 200 series all cut up ?
Rockbiter Hd pretty nervous man hey
Does all the engineering and changes mean that factory warranty is voided by Toyota?
Oh you naughty boy. So the numbers are the same, just the letters in front change? I have to admit I like some of the music on your vids, where do I find out about them?
Can you do a chop but keep it as a 8 seater?
Can you sell all the stuff that’s been cut out to recover some cost?
Geoff you could probably get a bit, but it would be a hassle for us as I have nowhere to store it
I would love to know what the all up cost of this vehicle is as of October 2021
230k
Thank you for the reply. Wow that’s some modifications.I do love the look and the mods, well done
@@leithmurray736 cheers mate 🤙
Money no object must be nice.
Are these legal in the United States
warranty? Toyota new car warranty?
: )
Australia is strange. It’s not ok to install 25+ offset rims but it’s ok to make a car longer
Why not a y62 patrol? Haha
Moses1988 I did look into it, but no ones does the chop & gvm upgrade I needed.....
@@TripInAVan thats true mate
When's the next video?
What’s calebs trade?

Anybody knows a company that does similar conversions in Europe?

Shit mate, are you retired AFL player or something?
Not everyone can trip in a van and buy a new 200 then chop it up.
why not just buy a f 250 and be done with it all these modifications on these 200 series are standard on a f truck
Rather all the Toyota mechanicals I suspect.
Martin Black to spec an f truck to what we have done here would cost more, and it’s hard to get parts and mechanical work on f trucks in remote areas of Australia
How does this affect the manufacturer warranty. Just out of interest as in the UK manufacturers try to wriggle or of anything
it has none. Toyota will not warrant a modified vehicle
@@c10196 The radio might still be covered under warranty but that`s about it.
