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.
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! 😱
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.
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 👍
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
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...
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?
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.
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.
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?

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

That is a serious bit of kit that chassis. Hell of a lot of work. Keen to know what the build cost comes in at?
$200k for the 200 🤔

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

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💪
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

Love the videos, love the 200 series and a Lorimer as well

Make sure you leave the tap on after a crash to drain the tanks.
@@larkhill2119 your assuming that you physically able to do that after the accident
I would love to know what the all up cost of this vehicle is as of October 2021

Nice car Hodgey
First in, 🙃 love AEV , great work
Colin Cook thanks mate
Wow, super interesting!
Why the 200 series ? Why not go 79 series as it is already a dual cab ?
Marino TeAre more comfort, auto trans, more power👍👍
So jel and lovin it guys
Radar _six cheers mate
has anyone ever done or thought of doing a 200 series chop to a single cab chassis

How did you feel seeing your brand new 200 series all cut up ?
Rockbiter Hd pretty nervous man hey
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?
Jimmy Mossy cheers mate 💪
Yep I have the same question regarding GCM.
@@l-shizzle8678 Something fishy is goin on here with the GCM. No straight answers.
@@arielle_australia Yep, GCM upgrades are NOT legal in qld
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
Thoroughly enjoyed the video.. but is this not just upgrading a tundra with extra steps? No hate just curious
You forgot to mention u have to sell your house to pay for it
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?
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
Does all the engineering and changes mean that factory warranty is voided by Toyota?
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 ;)
Can you do a chop but keep it as a 8 seater?
Must of cost a small fortune!
Are these legal in the United States
Mint
And girls 😄
Anybody knows a company that does similar conversions in Europe?
I'm jealous
Yep
What’s calebs trade?

Cool
warranty? Toyota new car warranty?
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?

Why not a y62 patrol? Haha
Moses1988 I did look into it, but no ones does the chop & gvm upgrade I needed.....

Australia is strange. It’s not ok to install 25+ offset rims but it’s ok to make a car longer
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
When's the next video?
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.
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.
