Is your torqit chip tuned to that specific vehicle or straight out of the box? Mines not dyno tuned yet,got x flow and pedal torque.....man the response and power is just ridiculous I’d love to know what it does! Loved the clip “bloody awesome “ Love to see more
you all would have a great time building an off-roader in USA there is no where near the restrictions here on them as you guys have..a few years ago my daily driver was a 1986 ford f150 4x4 lifted 13 inches on 40inch tires..many times the police around my area would drive by me looking at the truck and give me a thumbs up..once a state trooper pulled me over just so he could look at the truck and admire it ...love the videos keep them coming.
@@4WD247 You said it...SOME. I just came back from a Vic high country trip and all I saw was Older model patrols and LC's, Prados, Pajeros Hiluxes and Navaras with one Y62 and one 200. We did the Billy Goat Bluff track and surrounds. Your're not actually targetting a wider audience here who have older models vehicles. Most of the newer model 4WD that you see are on youtube channels like yourself, Ronny Dahl, Australian 4x4 adventures and All 4 adventures. We'll watch your vids no doubt, but how about catering for the masses. Brand new 200 with 12 mods, yeah that's your everyday aussie 4WDriver/camper not to mention probably majority of your subscribers.
$100k on a 200 $3k on rims and tyres $2k on suspension lift $500 on diff drop $1k for snorkel and custom air box $4k on bar work $1k on winch ( depending what they got could be $3k ) $2k on lights $2k on exhaust $2k on chip/tune $500 on UHF $3k on fridge/drawers $3k on engineering cert. So, a good $130k give or take for this sort of setup not including ANY fitting costs or the cost of that custom wrap job. That's not too bad, actually.
Steve 1313 don’t get your knickers in a knot cause you don’t have a 200. There’s shit loads around. The one they did up isn’t even a brand new one anyway. Not everyone wants an 80 series or a GQ
Also wasn't in the video when you lift the suspension you may need go increase brake line lengths and when carrying out the wheel alignment make sure this is done after all your accessories are fitted as load with affect your wheel alignment so you want to generally make sure you do a wheel alignment with your default load and full tank of fuel.
martin526 austria We’ll be seeing it in action when they upload their trip through the Watagans, it seems they did the Killy Loop while they were there, according to their facebook. Keen for the next episode!
Great to see the emphasis on engineering to keep it all safe & legal. The payload on the 200 really isn't much, did you get a gvm upgrade and what does the fighting weight weigh in at?
Question. How did you manage to get 35in tyres engineered on a 200 series? I’ve been told by numerous people including engineers that the maximum you can go is 33s.
James Evans, Name me three engineers that you know that do it and what state they engineer in. If you’re going to make a comment you better be able to back your opinion.
You forget to add up for any suspension mods, you should also replace the sway bar link in order to allow the suspension to flexs properly without any problems.
No idea why some people are being so toxic over the cost of this build. I mean let’s be real, no matter the age or model of 4wd the mods will all cost the same roughly, 4wding is an expensive hobby whether people like it or not, some people have more money then others so why trash talk someone who can afford something more expensive. As long as you’re getting out on the track in a forbie you love then what’s the problem
Great, professional video. You guys not just explain the general modifications. You also explained mods that should be done to the air box as the standard airbox is crap and allows dust ingress.
Setting up my own car as we speak, a Pajero Sport, the approach angles aren’t the best with the low hanging bumper, just wondering what you guys think is more important, a bullbar to help with approach angles or suspension, which will also help with approach angles but also help with ride and off-roading etc Also suspension is 1/2 the price of a bar Cheers guys
You boys ever think about coming out to the states. I live by Death Valley and there are some Exceptional trails around. Long story short if you find your selfs out here love to take you boys out for a few days. It’s dry and hot but fun as the day is long. Anyway keep up the great work and keep they trucks rolling strong and stay safe out there. 🌵🌤🏕🇺🇸
Curious to final cost? Would it be similar for a 2018 GXL Prado? Also considering they way the back was set up, can it be done so it can be taken out to use the extra seats in the back when not out touring?
Im setting up my 2019 prado and have done snorkel, arb summit bullbar,9" led driving lights,12000lb winch, fulcrum formula 2" lift...have rock sliders on the way and still have a list of stuff to go... taking my time but getting there and will get my 33" micky T 's soon .. its not cheap but cant wait to do tassie and the cape
Man I'd love it if you guys would do all of those mods to my '99 Toyota RAV4 5 speed AWD!!! The only thing that sucks about this all-wheel drive system. Is there is no low range! When I'm towing my 1800 lb camper off-roading! I have to give it hell to go up the hills.
35’s on a vehicle with no transfer case doesn't sound very do-able you will have serious torque and drivetrain issues on steps or river crossing or any hectic incline
Would you guys make a video with affordable suggestions like in my case I want to modify my 1999 Honda CR-V, of course not at your level but at least to have some fun. By the way, I live in Guatemala so greetings for all of you, I really like your videos.
Mate, how much is a Cruiser like this one over there? Here in the states is about $85K new.. Hard to believe you would spend double that amount to accessorize the rig.
Love how engineering was given a mention! Way too many illegal 4wds getting around and taking the risk (not from getting caught by police) but quite possible jail time in event of accidents and let's hope no one gets killed because of it, let the engineers determine what is safe! Also something to mention with 12volt setups is the Alternator specs. I am not aware of what is actually in the 200 series but many smaller 4x4s like dual cabs can easily fry alternators when running lots of power hungry accessories such as extra lights and charging accessories like DCDC chargers, especially when all ran at the same time. Regards, Biomedical, Electrical and Electronic Engineer.
Im just a 13 year old guy.But really love cars and motorcycles and when i grow up i want to have my own car and a motorcycle so for the people who's planning to build a offroad car i mean upgrade for offroading this is the best guide! thank you 4WD Action!!!Like this if you already fixed a car!
i like the under body cover stuff... i have a doubt regd..the Stephany wheel position.. cause its a 35" wheel moving it to the rear right corner might damage the bearing of the rear right wheel due to excess weight (weight imbalance) in long run.. i feel it should positioned properly in the middle after that we have to plan for jerry cans...
Great video guys. Maybe put text info alongside each section of part additions info, with price ranges. I’m from UK so have to find alternative parts and decent engineers who know how to fit without to my needs and need reference points. Great all round vid guys
Really enjoyed this video, we are currently saving for a 2014'ish Prado, because we need the extra seat over my Camry, for obvious reasons lol. So this was a good guide, children want to go out and about more. But was curious if you could do a video on building one to go out for a few days/week, while having 6 of the 7 seats used lol. This build is good for two, not so good for families. Anyway another awesome video.
Nice new Sparebox 4x4. Hope the 80 series is still kicking.....FYI FLASH20 doesn't work on most of the items on that new Sparesbox 200 series. i.e. Stedi Lights, RedArc, Rival Bash Plates....sigh. Was hoping there would be big savings to be had... :D
I saw a couple of built 200 series on the trails a couple of weeks ago... Have to say, they used their winch more than everyone else combined... They are just too big and too heavy, to make this capable at all, you would have to be running 40s or 42s...
Have a look at a specs sheet. Yes there's about 100kg more compared to a 100 series. BUT dimensionally they're very close. Wheelbase is the same and track is about 2cm wider on the 200. Possibly driver skill / not wanting to break thing playing a bigger factor.
There's no denying they're a heavy beast but we put our 200 to the test up against some much lighter, and much tougher rigs and managed to tackle similar tracks! Just depends who you have behind the wheel! ;)
Clear explanation, like it. I do focus on what parts to upgrade (rule out the 200 series, brand of the mods, price list). Cause many mods out there miss the crutial part, such as diff breather. Good work. Anw, do u guys hv a mods guidance to a Suzuki SJ410? Id like to mods my SJ410 to an overland rig 😁
Great Video guys! Following from Germany, got an 06 Hulix. Was just wondering all the time how much all these mods were. Here in Germany all the 4wd parts are way more expensive than what I remember from my time in OZ... Y60 back then😃... Love your channel, makes me fell like in OZ and motivates me again and again to get my Hilux dirty😎😎💪🏻 Thx
Reliability, the land cruiser and hilux have all been engineered in Australia form years of tweaks and being the back bone of the Mining industries vehicles of choice.
Time to have some fun - if you could build ANY 4WD up to do tough 4WDing - what would it be?
Definitely a Subaru brumby 😁
4WD Action blown y62 patrol
GQ patrol
1998 gu patrol
Jk
You guys should do a budget 4x4 mod, like what the average Joe can afford,do up a late 90's surf or gq, 80, along those lines
they have done somet similar few years back with a suzuki samurai i think and took it down some of the tougher trails of australia
Yeah, this bloke can't afford all this kit, it'd take me years to get a rig like this.
Hahaha agree
Would love to see a 90/95 series
Or a cheaper 4x4. Some dont have enough money for a modification like this. I still dont win the lottery
After 4 days on lockdown this is just what I need good on ya lads
hell yeah ahah
Plenty more content coming your way mate!
we are on our 1st day of 4 weeks in nz how long you guy's on lock down for
Roza we haven’t been told yet just waiting day by in the uk
Thank God... I've been stuck at home with the crotch monkeys... let me veg out learning new things and drooling over shauno 😂😂😂
Jock nailed this one, awesome to see him on some more videos
100% ! He can get a bit excited at times though xD
Aussies:
Say church: “Church”
Say chunk: “Chunk”
Say chassis: “SHAZZY”
That's because it's originally a French word meaning frame. Us Aussies are real posh in our proper pronunciation :P
Say Champagne, chivalry and chauvinistic.
Well in french we say shaSSY and not shaZZy. Nor Tchassy by the way.
That's a funny one TOMMO...
Americans:
Say Aluminium: "Aluminum" :'-)
As much as I've seen so far, this video is definitely the most extensive and detailed guide to rig up a new 4wd. Great job guys. 👏🏻
What a bloody beast! Who else loved this build?!
Is your torqit chip tuned to that specific vehicle or straight out of the box?
Mines not dyno tuned yet,got x flow and pedal torque.....man the response and power is just ridiculous I’d love to know what it does!
Loved the clip “bloody awesome “ Love to see more
how much for that build cost
What bonnet is on the 200? Is it a modified 79 scoop?
I’ve got a 200. This looks magic! Good one fellas.
you all would have a great time building an off-roader in USA there is no where near the restrictions here on them as you guys have..a few years ago my daily driver was a 1986 ford f150 4x4 lifted 13 inches on 40inch tires..many times the police around my area would drive by me looking at the truck and give me a thumbs up..once a state trooper pulled me over just so he could look at the truck and admire it ...love the videos keep them coming.
Great video as always, and great to be seeing more videos with Jocko! He nails it every time

Me: Love!
Wallet: Don't even think about it.
Hahahahahaha yeeeessssssssss
HAHAHA! Exactly, But we can always dream, right?

WOW!
5:51 ------- that little black shock guard to protect the paint of your shock
I have watched this a number of times and get a bit more out of it everytime. Thanks mate!!
Who can afford 12 mods after buying a 200? :(
Some people can - but the MAJOR point here is these tips and mods are relevant to ALL 4WDs - from 200s and 79s down to $3,000 GQ patrols
If you can afford a 200 you can afford the mods🤷♂️

$100k on a 200

$500 on diff drop
$1k for snorkel and custom air box
$4k on bar work
$1k on winch ( depending what they got could be $3k )

$500 on UHF
$3k on fridge/drawers
$3k on engineering cert.
So, a good $130k give or take for this sort of setup not including ANY fitting costs or the cost of that custom wrap job.
That's not too bad, actually.
Steve 1313 don’t get your knickers in a knot cause you don’t have a 200.
There’s shit loads around.
The one they did up isn’t even a brand new one anyway.
Not everyone wants an 80 series or a GQ
Good way to spend a covid lockdown watching this.👍
Yeah well we wouldn't have to if bloodly China had of contained this virus when it first appeared in China last year.
The definitive definition of one perfecting their craft. Strong work.
Also wasn't in the video when you lift the suspension you may need go increase brake line lengths and when carrying out the wheel alignment make sure this is done after all your accessories are fitted as load with affect your wheel alignment so you want to generally make sure you do a wheel alignment with your default load and full tank of fuel.
Love having Jocko!!
Love this vid fellas..I wish you'd do more with pedestrian Land Cruisers like this. Reminds me of the $1,000 Lux!
i hope this 200 will join your adventure soon! more content guys!
martin526 austria We’ll be seeing it in action when they upload their trip through the Watagans, it seems they did the Killy Loop while they were there, according to their facebook. Keen for the next episode!
Very good tip about the airbag and spring supporting the vehicle
This helped with quarantine
What an awesome video guys! Super helpful for anyone looking to upgrade their vehicle. In depth showing how to do all the important mods. Thanks!
Great to see the emphasis on engineering to keep it all safe & legal.
The payload on the 200 really isn't much, did you get a gvm upgrade and what does the fighting weight weigh in at?
loved your video, I wish you were in the states, it looks like you do NOT take any short cuts. Best of success guys!
I am currently building my 2003 3l td hilux. Great tips cheers jock and sam
We are going into lockdown at midnight tonight for three weeks here in South Africa. Going to have lots of time to rewatch old 4wd action episodes
And new ones😉
Question. How did you manage to get 35in tyres engineered on a 200 series? I’ve been told by numerous people including engineers that the maximum you can go is 33s.
RJC17 suuuuuure you have, plenty of people do it
James Evans, Name me three engineers that you know that do it and what state they engineer in. If you’re going to make a comment you better be able to back your opinion.
Great job to sparesbox on getting all the accessories for the beast of a 200!👌
Good to see there's no 4wd supacentre crap on this build. Actually using good quality products that work. Raslaar, STEDI, Runva just to name a few
best truck ive ever seen. id put wheel up front ontop of rack and tent on rack other than that love it. want to see more of this truck
you turns this monster beast to a real master piece
You forget to add up for any suspension mods, you should also replace the sway bar link in order to allow the suspension to flexs properly without any problems.
We installed extended sway bar mounts in the rear along with an adjustable panhard bar to allow proper articulation.
What about extended brake lines.? What size lift did you go with
Mate that V8 raw is incredible
4WD Action and MCM is gonna be nice upgrade for 1 car 🤩
No idea why some people are being so toxic over the cost of this build.

Loving the Bennys Custom Works sticker on the lift
This was a really well made and useful vid - thanks guys!
WOW! That was quite a transformation. Lovely lil beast you built there. Cheers from the PNW!
Awesome vid guys! Great to see you two hosting it
Amazing video
I have not seen a better video then this. Well done and thanks
Jocko has come such a long way! Love seeing him on the show!
Atleast they had the most talented driver steering it well done jocko brother 🤙🏼
Hahahah how funny is jocko when he drives! He’s a fresh fave and random
As
He sure knows how to build them AND wheel them!
When Graham says “ I wouldn’t have a clue “. That’s when you know that there’s a problem
This was the motivation I needed to drop my front and get adjustable upper control arms. Thanks, guys! After that, my H3 will be unstoppable!
Excellent video! Given the budget it’s a perfect build.
Nice clip and great tips, Jock. I had to learn my 4WD build lessons before TH-cam so you young punters out there pay attention to this!
This was so damn informative for a newbie... Thanks heaps lads
Good thing you tinted the taillights, best bang for buck performance mod anyone can make.
Can't go wrong! :)
Vi seguo dell'Italia, è un altro mondo !
Can’t wait for the next big trip
liked, mainly for the Benny's Custom Works sticker on the ramp

sharing the love for Benny!
Don't sparesbox cover benny and the boys, I vaguely remember seeing there cars at one of the Sparesbox stands somewhere recently
Damn,, just mentioned that in a comment
What an absolute weapon 👊🏾💪🏾. Big 👍🏾 from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬.
It'd be great to get a breakdown of the costs of all the new components
Excuse me, but what is this cool music at the 0:07 part of the video?
Another great episode of 4wd action
Liked anf have a cold beer in hand
keep it up guys
Thank you
its so helpful
awesome guys deffo would like to see a 96 hi surf been done for people on a small budget.
Benny needs to make an appearance on this channel
Not a bad idea!! A BCW / Sparesbox / 4wd Action collab!!
Could see him rocking a JDM Jimny

For seven seats you will need to plan around trailer.
I’m surprised GVM wasn’t mentioned especially on a 200 series time you upgrade tyres put a front bar on a roof rack your almost over GVM
We actually upgraded the GVM prior to fitting all the parts as we know how important for safety and legality vehicle weights can be!
@@SparesboxAuto Probably should have mentioned that in the video then.
that's a nice 200
Nice build!
Don’t forget a breather for the Toyota ADD! (Atleast on Hilux revo and Vigo)
