Admire your honesty with what you’ve spent. And you use it as your R and D vehicle so money well spent 👍. And I always enjoy watching your vehicle on the 4wd 24/7 episodes, no matter who’s driving
Sure it's nice to describe all the great modifications they have made to Land cruiser. But I often wonder what the hell are they for? That is, I explain the concept better, you buy a car that today costs more than 100,000aud then you do a reverse engineering to make you pale with a cost similar to that of the car and then put it on TH-cam (to show how good you are and how beautiful the your car) and present the video with a nice smiling faces!! Of course they must be a genius!.... I always told that another rate hike from RBA and it will be the end of bullbar bullshit era also here in the great dingo piss creek s'traliyaaa!!
Reminds me of when I was 21 ( in 1995) and I brought into the bs of Toyotas are reliable. Bought a 75. Cost me 13k, four years old, cost me another 15k in the 20 months I owned it in far NQ. Then I woke up and bought a 4 yr old GQ. Owned that 18 1/2 years and spent less on it. PoS Toyotas. Nissans better off road and more reliable.
$282,000 is a lot of money! I'm glad that you have explained the costs involved to build and maintain this beast. I just hope that a lot of people watch this video before they start taking on the harder tracks and start driving them the way you do, it will save a lot of money and heartbreak when they have to shell out hard earned money!

Would love to see a video of you guys doing the repairs/service when it comes back from a trip. This was a great video and love watching this beast on the 4wd24/7 episodes. Absolute weapon
Nice ride, and good to see some real honesty around what it really takes, not just saying its a Toyota so it's more reliable than everything else, when in reality you have spent 5 times the original car's price.
At least guys you are honest about it and others can learn from it. I guess once you start adding/modifying it is difficult to stop and hence the cost explosion. I am an engineer and always been using the KISS principle for many things including 4WD. Keeps maintenance costs down and also the capital outlay. For me, half the fun of going remote is simplicity and not taking the kitchen sink with me, but others want all the comforts and all these come at a cost. I guess each to their own. Great video.

These type trips are great for content and R&D of the products..but few average 4wders could afford this level of carnage and costs. The Mits product seems to cope well.
Hey Tim, Could you do a video on the mounting system and more specifically the rubber aspect to it. How it works in relation to the car and canopy, how did you come up with it etc. Cheers man
Although massive it's a tax wright off as a business rnd vehicle. It's has obviously created huge product sales and returns in that respect. To think people spend this hard earned and will never see any return. Hey consumerism is what makes the economy turn. That's why we're not 3rd world living. So although I think it's mental and couldn't do it. Thank F everyone else does and that's for all recreational motorsport. In saying that I am looking for a S5 Y62 currently. I can see myself getting carried away there. Spent the last 16 years with no toys though. V8 302 windsor C4 9inch 200b Datsun wagon sold 4k, V8 84 4 runner 305 tpi chev turbo 400 2k stall 15 inch rims 33 inch tyres 2.5 inch body lift, sold it for 10k, VL Berlina 5l 2500 stall cam no rust straight as sold $2500 in 2009 😭😭😭.. hold onto your toys guys
Thanks mate, For the trips we do, the 1700 canopy is a massive amount of space for 1 bloke and with that size we want to keep the weight as central as possible
With that canopy, have you ever considered making one with the trundle draw mounted on the bottom of it so it can be mounted on a trailer or ute tub then lift off for when it is not in use? I really like the canopy but I own a wagon and looking to sleep inside the wagon and have the trailer as a base camp that will also carry a MTB.
I’d love to see some content on the new TF BT50 Mits build (I’ve just got one that’s why) but just plans with it, what’s currently been done and what the goal is with it
there’s a soft frequency buzz throughout the video and you’ve got a premiere warp stabiliser error at 11:12 Great video and you guys make good content but best to always look thru the sequence before exporting 🤙🏻
@@Renegade040 I love the RAMs and F150s but you do realise more than one type of car can be a referred to as a beast right? There is a better use of everyone’s time than trying to debate subjective opinions.
Someone needs to take all these 12v power supply components, strip out the guts of them and mount them on a Common base with a neat and tidy, singular cover that contains everything in a sealed unit and singular display panel, complete with sealed cooling channels that run over the various heat sink fins and exits via external vents. Instead of all these add hoc, patchwork looking, diy setups with various bits and pieces here and there and exposed wiring/connections... That's my opinion on the growing trend of "look how many different things I have for my power supply set up"
$282.000!? WOW! There is days I don't have that in my wallet! (Make it an even 300, get Rocket to put an auto in it. Lol) So, what you're saying is, lots of fun costs lots of money! I can see though, one couldn't burn the smiles of your faces! BTW one heck of a 79series setup! And the R and D is worth it as well as the marketing and you're having fun at the taxman's expense! 😅.

Very upfront and informative, before the rear diff swap were you running neg offset wheels for correction? If so were you experiencing issues from this?
Thanks! Yes we were running different offset. Although this isn't very practical for the sort of trips we do, fortunately we didn't haven't any bearing or rim issues. With the diff correction we now run a -5 offset all round
Thanks for sharing 👍 Now to you think you all would have been a bit more gentle with it if it was your own vehicle? Taking away the R&D or need to put the equipment through quality checks. Great looking Beast of a rig.👍💪🤜 🐪🦘🐊🌴🏝🏜🏕😊
Still can't out-thrash the '92 Discovery I bought for $1500 and has only cost a few hundred bucks to keep on the road in the subsequent four years and 100+k
Wow. 282. And I guess that's with them doing a lot of their own repairs and/or getting mates rates. Whew. Still, it's a tax deduction so that would take a bit of the pain away I suppose.

Always wanted one of your canopy’s but just a fair bit out of my price range but when you see them in real life can 100% see why.
how much of the 282k was bags?

Flush out the evaporator inside the dash it's probably clogged with dust, makes a massive difference to A/C temps in cabin 👌
We will give it a go!
How do I get one of those stickers thats on the bushmans fridge?
I've just had a canopy installed a couple of months ago.
That’s a big number but you have a beast of a car. Great video & thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Why is it a beast of a car, why would it be better than say, a tricked out, Ram 1500/2500 or F150/250, or even a modified 200 series.

Hi Mate! Thanks heaps for your invite... But not sure on our movements to that sort of area just yet
so 282 plus the 24/7 invoice .
Hands down dream car, hope to get one asap
Nightmare car by the sound of it.
I hope this rig stays on the channel. It has became an icon how many Kms on the new motor and chassis to date?
About 40k on the motor, 330k on the chassis

Nice truck a beauty even with its battle scars
I want Azza in the ranger,
To go against the MIT's 79

Great video! More like this
Hi guys my question is when are you going to put portal Axel's in the big rig ?.
That would be fun, but at this stage it isn't something we are looking to do on this build
Interest to know if the tent ladder is just held on by one rhino rack stow it?

282 ouch, however you 2 cant stop smilling. the price you pay for fun.
hey guys love the cruiser, what leafs are you running looks like they have a lot more clearance then standard ones, cheers
They are 900kg constant springs in the rear of our 79.
Good work! You've developed some great skills
Yep strip a car after every trip... To avoid it fail due to the extreme reverse engineering!! That cost twice the value of the car... They genius!
Does that include fuel?😢

Taking away the R&D or need to put the equipment through quality checks.

She's definitely had some battle scar's and scrapes, but it always comes back looking just awesome. Love watching it on 4wd/27... It's a beast 👍👍
So much for the toyoter praise...
Why haven’t you guys coiled it?
Where does it stop ? 😀
Best used 79! You know it means business when there isn't a microwave 😂
Crazy how it ads up eh.
It's crazy how quickly things escalate!
Wow. 282.
And I guess that's with them doing a lot of their own repairs and/or getting mates rates.
Whew.
Still, it's a tax deduction so that would take a bit of the pain away I suppose.
Of course.. Of course tax deduction.. To keep the ponzi scheme alive!
I have done most of the same trips and my bills are nothing like yours. 2012 Nissan Patrol and more mechanical sympathy for the car apparently.

Bit more costly as AZZA done a boo boo
Cracking tax write off 😂
Needs some new wheels bruvva the trailer wheels are ass
wtf. Just buy a unimog lol
audio sucks

Yep. I don't get it either.
Pretty sure they said 38k the paid for it originally.
I think the 110k must be what it cost after modifying
waste of money.
At the beginning of the vid you said you paid 38k for the cruiser alone and at the end you said you paid 110k!?
