Helluva garden shed !!
Awesome video Michael. Good to see the truck again and all the mods and changes. Great to see the hows and why's of the changes you've made
Cheers mate... really appreciate it 👍
Very informative and honest video mate keep them coming
Cheers mate 👍
Top notch mate, perfect camera car!
cheers mate
Insane set up
Cheers mate
What a beautiful machine!!!!!!
Thanks heaps 👍
Hi Michael ,
Great to see everything’s held up !
Met you at arb brookvale open day . I had the silver dual cab and was chatting with you about Changi from A1 how we knew each other . Look forward to more videos coming out !
Ray
Cheers mate… I certainly remember you. Was a great chat. Absolutely love our 79 👍👍👍
I just watched this video and it had some good info , but where is part 2 and 3 ? I am very interested in the portal axle conversion ! There seems to be almost no PROs vs CONs , what makes them good , what makes them bad , how well do they last , are they noisy and so on ?
Sorry for the delay
Great video Michael, love the 79. I'd love some more info on the iridium setup and antenna that you're using. Cheers
Cheers for the feedback guys. It’s a fairly basic setup really. When the cabin is powered, the unit powers up but is in standby. In order to utilise it, you lift the units antennae, which allows you to connect using your phone. You can text or make calls at the rates set to your plan. We use Pivotel.
Nice machine.
Thanking you 👍
In cab winch controls are probably the cheapest and best mod to a vehicle .
Just wiring power to solenoids
Cheers Simon, this makes sense. Just not sure if you can do this with the particular model.
great video to hear how the build has held up!! still looks very good. What about the Portals.... were they a good option?
A great option… wouldn’t build another 79 without Portals. 👍
Are episodes 2 & 3 on their way?
Amazing video! Thanks guys! Definitely going to buy a ticket now! Wish me luck! 😍🤩🥳🤠 P.S. I've already got an Akubra and how good is Maroon!? Queenslander!!!!
Lol… glad you liked it mate. Hope it helps
PVS Paddle Shift Winch Controls
Love then when is the next episode?
What was the durability of those portals, how many times have you serviced it to maintain?
First fell in love with this mighty 79 a long time ago.
How’s the engine holding up , injectors or starter motor needed any attention yet? Cheers matey
That’s great to hear your feedback Harry. Everything is all good… touch wood. We have given a good run that’s for sure 👍
@@OffroadImages know of a single turbo vdj making it toi 765k before partial rebuild, have heard of one at 1.1million. mine is a 400 thou no under bonnet repairs
Msa all the way
100 percent
Those tiny mirrors are an embarrassment
I guess it really depends on your preferences. I just love the MSA mirrors. Anything larger starts making the 79s look like an elephant I guess
200,000 dollars or km. Top Rig.
What a Disaster the spares overhanging and too much weight over the rear axel half box lol
Cheers mate 👍
how much does it cost to build a truck like that?
What about portal axle reliability?
The best way I can answer this is that if I built another 79 tomorrow, I’d definitely have portals in it 👍 … love ‘em
200k on factory engine?
Factory engines can probably do 2M if properly looked after
Love the Toyota, it's solid it's built tough... proceeds to tell us it's the accessories and not Toyota it's solid and tough.
I prefer a recently dirty vehicle
That’s fair enough
what time do the portals come in?
sorry for the delays
