The first episode that the dirty 30 comes shorty should totally join
it should defendant the join dirty 30
And jocks hilux
None of that Dmax nonsense
@@theendisneigh-tm4wh the shorty will still out do the dirty 30
@@CustomcrowdMitroc yeah and outlast it like it already outlasted dirt thirty 1
It's good to see the old girl again , I would rather see shorty over the d max
Gato86 same
love to see her again too
The D-Max helps pay the bills.
Here here
dmax is pretty sick too mate, nice to know I can buy a used one in 5-10 years and just need a minor lift and use civilized size tires
One of my favourite 4WD Action vid's is the one were you and Shauno toured some of the pubs in the outback. No crazy hill climbs and winching just showing us this great country. Would love to see Shorty and the Slightly Less Dirty 30 doing that again. Cheers
Greencoola WA whats episode called if ya can remember, sounds like a good one
@@lloydelston4400 Outback Bulldust tour is the one
I agree, it doenst have to be an episode of beating the trucks to death. Just to see them both in the outback kicking up dust again would be awesome.
"You're the bloke who's just used every single part from every Toyota ever made in order to try and make _one decent one_ ."
Someone get that lad to the burns ward.
Noises no give him a beer
Shuan will struggle to get spare parts 😂
Absolutely loved this raw episode I hope to see more of them , thanks for all the great content you guys have put out this year I look forward to the new episodes in the new year 😊
“Well that’s the back of the big GU” hmmmm thought it was a GQ Graham 😂😂. 11.54
'pop the seat forward' isn't it already as far forward as it can go?
Native 😂
Great video of two SHORT Legends of Australian 4wding. Good on ya Graham, from one avid 4wder/bowhunter to another.
Loved this!!! Something really honest and open about this type of production!! Hope there is plenty more like it to come!! 🤙
I would rather poor camera work than a pile of commercial garbage.
Pretty decent camera work aswell
Bloody oath,
Surprised on this channel he wasn’t towing an opus camper trailer
Watched and love how this turned out. Would like to see more of these vids. Love how it not edited and none scripted.
Seeing shorty made my day thanks graham
Would love to see a 'shorty meets the new dirty thirty' episode 🤙
Gotta love the look and the feel, and smells of a GQ 😍
An episode of Shorty and the Dirty 30 would be phenomenal!!! Such a throw back to when I started watching your dvds and videos. I really miss seeing the old girl in the outback doing what you built her to do. And plus I know you have to like driving Shorty more than the D-Max because shes your pride and joy. Thank you for the walkaround and Q n A of Shorty, it's nice seeing how you guys have your rigs setup. Thank you for the time and effort you put into everything you do Graham! Take care and hope your having a good one.
Yeah, don't forget, Graham has his own channel by the name Ecomuse and it's pretty great.
I'm all about the jimny life and it is a challenge to get everything to fit. Love it though!
"The Jimny Life" as in any SWB fourbie?
That’s a nice rig right there!
Jam-packed with some of the coolest stuff too
Let’s hope Shauno doesn’t find out you uploaded this!
Great 4WD mate!
Awesome set up!
And well done on the walk through, I really enjoyed it!
Cheers, from a fellow GQ owner!
If I ever win a boatload of cash I will make sure I take a trip down to Australia and take a 4wd trip with you guys. That would be One heck of a bucket list trip!! Shauno and dirty thirty graham and the d-max,
I have had 4 patrols, 3 shorty's and Long 1 turbo'd 2 N/A and 1 Chevy powered comp truck, Turbo-ing the TD42 is the best mod you can do for the money just wakes them up and doesn't hurt the reliability if you don't go wild. I ran 36'' TSL swampers and I ran 37 x 13 Boggers on my comp truck you need to drop the gearing to get the best out of them. Ran 33'' on the daily Drivers they were so much nicer to drive on the road, Thanks for the vid Graham it's always good to see how the experts fit out their rigs and something I have noticed with you guys is you have what works and what is needed and nothing that doesn't have a purpose. Cheers Mate.
G'day Graham, Well I would always go for the Old & reliable 4X4's because if you have a problem or breakdown especially
bloody electrical you stand a dam good chance of getting yourself going again.
The older machine's are for the most part fairly straight forward & with a little bit of basic understanding you can diagnose the
problem & go from there. Take "SHORTY" with it being a straight forward diesel once it is running it will keep on running till the cow's
come home.
The New stuff might have all the bell's & whistles, with all the gear & all the bling but if you damage or have a simple sensor go out your stuffed
that's if you can work out which one it is, & don't even bother if there's an ECU problem, just get a Tow truck if your in mobile service.
Anyway Mate I hope You & Your's along with Shauno & the Crew at 4WD Action have a Merry Xmas & a Bonza year ahead.
Have a good one Mate, Steve.
Perth WA.
Would love to see a rebuild series for Shorty, something along the lines of the Dirty 30 rebuild. Build the ultimate Shorty 👍
At first he gotta have to unwire the mass🤣
@@user-vw4hv4dj4e Yep, Rewiring seems to be the rebuild
An absolute weapon, to see shorty meet the new dirty thirty would be awsome. Ur an absolute legend in the living
Shorty is such an excellent unit. Love the truck Graham. Greetings from the States!
The OG rig of 4wd action 😍
Just behind milo
And Otis. 4wd monthly oldies will remember...
The only way I see Grahame letting go of his grasp on the ol girl, is if it follows Milo into the same museum where they can sit side by side as Aussie legends.
@@jac3975 and so it should. Same with Malcolm Douglas's old land rover and Steve irwin's kakhi Landcruiser ute. All iconic Australian 4wheel drives
@@Hazardbone except the last vehicle Malcolm Douglas drove was a cruiser
Can’t wait for an AUS SOLO vid!!!!
They’re the best
I love shorty very much Graham Cahill very much your a grate man
I used to have a Mahindra diesel, equivalent to a CJ3B soft top, ripper of a thing, I took it into all sorts including the Simpson 24 years ago or so, one car only, we got hopelessly lost up there, did 1600k in a 800k stretch, but, it was the greatest trip ever, no doors, bad fuel, three blokes all of us mechanics!! 7 Jerry cans with fuel and water and swags on the guards and in the back plus cooking gear, don't ask how it all fitted but somehow it worked, we got bogged in the sand broke shocks, ate fresh kangaroo, and had a ball, the thing never left me standing, then I upgraded to a 60 series!!? Old for sure! It's all about the adventure isn't it?
I drove with a Mate once from Sydney to Wangaratta in a none turbo'd Nissan, I hired a car to get home, I only had two weeks off!
My GQ TB4.2 EFI flys mate, it's a bit heavy on fuel but goes great!!!!
@@ovuvuevuevueenyetuenwuevue8656 So it's performs like any other TB & you don't understand it isn't a TD is all I get from that.....
The 35s r in the dvd where he has blue beadlocks and they get stuck in really thick mud
No they are 33s.
Thanks for the walkthrough it's great to see!
Thumbs up from a old yota lover for owning and sending a old rig.
We have a new model dualcab modded all the way but still love my old rig more.
Heck yeah man love it I'm over in America I'm working on building my new 4 wheel drive and I've seen some the equipment yall have in your rigs for y'alls trips and there's things that I've added to the list because I see how help it is
Would love to see a current dirty 30 and shorty vid!
Awesome video mate! really enjoyed that rundown on one of the most legendary GQ's to date ;)
I like the real look at one of these vehicles and personalities. Also no need to be embarrassed, it was a great video!
Loved this! Dont worry about camera control! This was an awesome episode!
I wish I could still see shorty in some more of the movies like if u agree
Love the GQ, Shorty's gorgeous, I'm a toyota boy but my first rig back when I learnt to drive was a 1990 Nissan Pathfinder and she never once left me stranded, no matter how hard I loaded the dice.
It is truly a labor of love with an old 4by, but the rewards are real. Best year of my life spent troutbuming with my dog and old '79 hilux in the Sierra Nevadas here in California RIP Primer.
I've just put everything back into the lux. Old Blu just got a newly built bored out 22re with RV cams/lifters, 5speed trans, dual ARB airlockers, ARB diff breathers, 4.56 gears, updated calipers and rotors, updated alternator... Soon the mechanical will be dialed and I can move on to the aux electronics and comforts.
Feeling a bit inspired from yours and Shorty's story. Thanks for sharing.
Fan from Canada! Great video, always wanted a walk around of shorty, its a inspiration for my offroad build.
Your TD hasn’t overheated because it hasn’t been “Cowboy” tuned . Lol
cowboy tuned is stupid and not useful
Mine is and don’t run intercooler and I couldn’t be happier
I’m a mechanic in SA and a large amount of cars we get coming through are newer 4WDs. They 100% hav their benefits, but at the same time, a lot of them have significant trouble areas that I personally believe hinder their ability as a 4WD. Specifically, “Jacking Mode” on the new Land Cruisers and Prados. From my limited experience, they are too delicate and too new to be thrown into a 4WD environment.
Me personally, I have a 2001 GU Patrol. She is an absolute beast and love it to bits. Even though it still has a ZD30
I'm with you mate. I have a '90 TD42 (Cyprus import) and a '93 TD42T (Jap import 24 volt Safari Kingsroad). Never any electronics issues, 'coz there isn't any! I'm always having to interrogate OBD on newer models for sensor problems..... PITA.
To honour all GQs cos my dad actually own a 1988 Nissan patrol wooden tray ute and it goes every where
4WD Action video to start my Thursday off right. Brilliant!
I think I can speak for everyone , shorty and dirty 30.2 would be one amazing video
Hey Graham one of your u.s fans here. Just wanted to clarify the u.s cars are pretty much all 12v our semi trucks are 24v
I own an old bucket gq and I love it too bits. There is a sense of trust that comes with driving it
Great to see an un-edited vid. keeping it real. Shortys are awesome. Ive had 3 Jeep TJ's. stuffing in drawers, fridge, batteries, spares and camping gear is a challenge but I wouldn't have it any other way.
Love how he dose not swear but On his TH-cam channel he dose
Very hard to do
I would love to see the dirty 30, Shorty, jocks Hilux in a 4wd trip 😍
Loved it mate I watched it while working on, sanding my patrol ready for a lick of paint 🍻
I'm in college right now watching this while doing work hello from the UK
When do we get get to see the gu on a episode
Hi, I was interested in how your seats are going? Are they standard or have you upgraded them and if so, what are they now.
Cheers
I. Kinlib pretty sure they’re upgraded
Old every time. Love my shorty too and won't be letting her go for quite some time yet!
Aside from the wire job of the battery system, this Patrol is pretty simple. I love it!
Ecomuse is a great name 👍
11:56 says gu haha not enough beers mate
yer wonder if he picked up on the big gu
Haha yep was like , the old q just got an upgrade lol
Watching video's of shorty makes me miss my old gq unfortunately she had more problems then I could handle when I got her and is now in more capable hands.
But now a days I'm loving being able to enjoy my 2015 sr5 Hilux
Great video
Really enjoyed that. Thank you.
What seats are you running I’m looking around for seats for my vehicle
Have a look at a company called "Pro Seat" they do a few, they look like the HSV tommy seats..........I think.
Cheers @troopy life funnily enough i have a troopy but thanks a lot will check them out
Back wheel Bandits Happy to help mate..
A lot of people use the XR6 sears also..
Troop on mate, best vehicles on the road 🤙🏻
I personally like the old rigs best because them new rigs they make now are cheap made and don't hold up as good
John to bloody right mate, there’s a reason that NZ and Aus 4x’s (well the ones that go places) are mainly Patrols(Safaris), 80 series Cruisers, pre- 2003 Hiluxs, old as high kay 70’s, the odd, well modded Prado and every now and then a Disco that’s been done properly ! Shit. almost forgot, the every ones had one or 2 4Runner or Surf!! I’ve had 4, first one was an 87 2 door, 2l petrol 4 cylinder 2 inch body and 2 inch suspension lift on basically a 34in Muddy. 16 years old my second car. thought mth shit didn’t stink...
To be fair, i’d love to still have that trick now, some 17 years later, even with all its gremlins i loved it, went hard off-road!! cheap as hell to 🏃♀️
Couldn’t agree more about the bin bag! Nice car. Good work.
Yes we need an other run with SHORTY please make it happened Love 4WD 24-7
I’m actually sitting on the throne
Great video Graham! Q: Would you ever own a Cybertruck?
Waited for you to do this for a long time now. Good work mate 👍
Awesome rig! Love this video, raw and genuine. Chiming in from Nashville, TN USA with a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ. In my opinion, the last year they were proper 4WD's.
Dam I thought my Jeep Wrangler tj was the most loved
Who like’s shorty more than the d-max.
Yes, I miss the old videos with Shorty and the Dirty 30.
Like shorty a lot, but i'm a pick-up lover...
What about when Shaun and graham used to fight which Car is better, Nissan or Toyota.
Gotta love the shortys, got one myself same as yours 88 gq safari granroad, except mines factory auto. They are heaps of fun to drive. Always enjoy watching yours on 4wd action and your channel. Keep up the great work mate.
What a beast! Thanks for sharing
just goes to show you don't need a 100k rig to take you on an adventure
First and I love old shorty
Yess loved this video Graham, gives us a bit of insight, don't apologize for bad camera work is better than most and your showing something interesting unlike hundreds of other. cheers for showing us around enjoy.
Thanks for showing us Shorty!
11:56... And that the big GU?? Thought it was a GQ
"And that's the back of the big GU"? Oh yeah
yes a GQ
Can tell hes absolutely loving making that video ,awesome
Thanks for the video graham ! It gave me some ideas for my wrangler in the states.
Awesome video. Thank you
Thanks, very enjoyable video, and yes warts and all, I found myself nodding and agreeing with your comments about KISS, it IS a great looking truck, and I hope it continues to serve you well in the future, The old Toyota/ Nissan banter is worth keeping, it’s all part of the fun. But the nub of it is, you clearly show that to enjoy the froading bit you just need to do it, a well prepared ( not a show stopper ) albeit long in the tooth vehicle and there is loads of fun waiting us, well done and thanks for an entertaining video. ( 80 owner UK)
Great rig!! I think it looks adorable! ❤️🐞- love the camera work !!! 🤣
Always been graham fan and this absolute great
I bought a Isuzu Dmax because I seen what you could do with it Graham, so thank you mate for the inspiration, loving it, she ain’t no SS but she goes just about anywhere, still building but having fun cheers brother ❤️✊🏻
Bouncy yet fun video. Really enjoyed it.
I also have a Y60 like yours, it´s a 1993 SLX and I love it.
That thing really goes everywhere.
Love your videos mate.
Cheers from Portugal
The OG of 4wd cars. Such a beast
Nice to see this go through. i live i Norway and just got hold of an -88 Mercedes G-wagon. It was a complete steal since the owner thought it had a blown motor, but it was a 20 minute fix. Feels good to have a 4X4 again after selling my Jeep Cherokee years ago. Been inspired by your vidos so just mounted Cooper Discoverer stt pro´s so this weekend im going to drive out in the deep snow and steal myself a christmastree! Keep doing what you´re doing and i´ll keep watching.
Nice wee video man, I'd love to see a Shorty meets the Dirty 30 video on 4wd Action..! As for getting thirsty I had to pause and go get a second half way through, none of this one beer an episode malarkey.
I am impressed with the tech that is in the new 4wds but at the same time that's what puts me off them, I love the old box shapes and the simpler workings of the old beasts. When I toured Oz for 18 months I had a 3l v6 '96 Nissan Pathfinder and it was just a machine. Like yourself I didn't tinker too much, a 2" lift, some bigger a/t' s and regular maintenance seen me take on 50,000km of the Aussie outback, beaches, islands, sand dunes and spine crushing corrugation as well as a few of the forest tracks and the old girl just kept on going and taking me to amazing camp sites in amazing locations all over Australia.
Shorty returns and looks unreal 👌🏻
Love my old gq too mate.
12 years since i bought it.
The repairs do get you.down at times when funds are low.
But love working on it still.
First off, you rock man! My first 4WD here in Aus was a GQ, 93. Had it for almost 10 years. Loved that beast and yes it overheated big time outside Coober Pedy whilst taking my old man on a road trip. I blame the LPG conversion as gas runs hot being a dry fuel, worst thing I did to that old girl. Live and learn. Now, time to grab another coldie 🍻 ATB Jason.
GRAHAM! - PLEASE can we have some more Shorty in our life. .. We all love the posh builds, but for most of us, this is where it's at!! ... Get an Aus-Solo in Shorty... and/or a refurb series - PLEASE!! :) ...thanks, you legend!!
excelent !! happy to see it again
Great video love the bin bag great looking rig!!!
That rig is awesome! Shorty FTW!
please bring this back in the rotation! such a sick little rig from the old days with roothy
Love your energy brotha, shorty is a weapon and a half
Great vid mate.. better than the commercial videos 👍🏼
