Love how GME run an 80 series and not 200/79 series like most other companies in the industry.
I think both this and his GU ute are mint. Be good to get Timmy to trick up and 24v his high mount
Whoa!! $20K just for the engine alone (plus fitting). Definitely a dream build. Nice one. 👍
That would be a $30K+ engine now days. Imported half cuts with the FTE and 200,000km are now mid $20k
Are we talking AUD or USD? The current exchange rate is .63 AUD to the USD.

This has been my favourite 4wd for a few years now and what an awesome rundown on it great episode guys
Thanks mate
Someone has probably already said this but the front panhard lock nut is loose. Extremely nice 80, best Toyota made🤙
This is what Demi’s car should be like Tyler!!!!
Yaaasss finally the video ive been waiting for half of my life.
Absolutely beautiful 80 Series. Well done that man. 👍🍺
Best 4WD Ever Built!
Wow what an 80. I've always liked the shape of them. I don't think i can afford that motor swap though 😆👍👍
That money spent would be less than a 300 trade up. No difference.
You should do more videos like this, they're mad!
Like clockwork! Time to tuck into it!
That was a really nice build.
Great ep Tyler, mint rig Toonz! 👍
Well done mate. I own one of these and gotta agree with absolutely everything
Wow what an 80!!! Top video mate I’ve taken down a few notes for myself. I had no idea you could get that kind of power out of those engines. 40mins well spent🤙🤙
Cheers mate!
Yeh the 1hdfte are grouse & can haul ass. If i’d ever do a engine conversion on my GU coily ute it’d be a 1hdfte before a Cummins or a LS V8
Sick rig dude👍👍👍👍
Very cool motor you’ve got some amazing ideas for yours .. 👍
One of your best videos ever Tyler
Cheers mate
Nice! Love it. ❤❤
Mint rig there 👌 👏 👍
Thanks for the content
Very nice 🤙🏻🏴
Probably the 80 I’ve ever seen 😮💨😮💨
Bloody nice car , I think your 80 might get the treatment soon now that you have seen this one 😅 .
Great vid TT, usually Id be bitchin and carrying on about the Toyota being 💩, but this one was a nice one and set up, well done Tony. 👍
Tony just one last thing, great idea with the 2 x UHFs, although was hoping to see where the GME TX840 AM/SSB CB is hidden away for your long range coms, but is hidden way too well 😊
As being in the 'coms' industry, I'm guessing you are already (quietly) aware that many of the guys on TV (AFA, Roothie, GC-Graham Cahill, Mr 4x4 and all their camera crews) have and use a AM/SSB CB for Coms offscreen (due to sponsor requests) once the UHFs go out of range (5kms away) and there is no mobile phone signal, so that they can continue talking way past the UHF range..all the way up to 70+kms away..
FYI, both myself and another 4x4er (with a GME tx840) have actually chatted with GC (4WD 24/7) on his AM/SSB CB around 88kms away while he was co-ordinating a RFDS landing in middle of no where which because of him saved a woman's life from a snakebite. Due to heavy cloud from Cyclone Seroja, the satellite phone and Epirb (non GME unit) couldn't lock onto any Satellites...so a $70 second hand GME TX840 AM/SSB CB assisted in saving the day 👍
Those wondering, the UHF stays on SCAN while using the AM/SSB CB, and when using the UHF, then the AM/SSB CB stays on scanning incase of any emergencies...👍
Note: ALL the 4x4 users on the mobile AM/SSB CBs are alot more professional and family friendly in speaking therefore little swearing, no threats, etc as like all the Yobbo UHF channels.
Hope to hear you and TT on the AM/SSB CB out there in the future..👍👍🍺🍻
Mate that's incredible. What a story 😮
Such a better colour than original 🎉
Love the photo of the v8 79 😅
Personally I prefer the FT. Nechanical over electronics. Just more things to go wrong. Otherwise, I have pretty much the same build going on with my '93 80. Good job, Tyler. Don't let Demi see this, or your retirement fund might shrivel up more than your willy in those early morning swims in the mountain creeks
👏 my prefered car ! 🤩
That and his GQ are class and seems a good bloke. Can you try get a 60 series on for a episode 😎
😘
The interior driver dash and seat looks like Benz 😍😍
Awesome rig! Was his front panhard locknut undone ?
Yeah saw the same thing, the jam nut seems to be wound out all the way
Hi mate GREAT rig you have a big dog like us. Do you miss not being able to go in national parks like us? Well done and enjoy your trip JY
Yes, it's very frustrating that you cannot have dogs in National Parks in Australia.
920nm !! 😲😲😲
Aluminium By Design built that rack he still operates in Cairns.
unrelated to this vehicle any idea on changing a dual cab Np300 doing a rear seat delete but keeping one back passenger seat lol.
A great build. It's funny how some would agonise over spending 40k on that age and model but realistically people are spending way more than those figures on new 4x4's . They then flip the car in a year or two. So wasteful.
Where can these headlight "sort" of covers can be bought?
I think was seeing the same thing - Was his front panhard locknut undone ?
Yes it was :)
Wife really wants more gears for highway and a powerful LS motor for our 2005 or a turbo. We’ll drive any distance to drive it off road…
I wish Americans could get stuff like this we get a diesel motor truck from Europe like Toyota and Nissan. But I want one of those el camino lookin truck car,…. I need friend from Australia… I think there called Holdem …..
Holly shit ,nice rig but 38k for engine??? I now know why people's do barra conversion ,saying that I blow up stuff with 1hz turbo ,driving miss Daisy
It sucks I work from 10:30 at night until 3 pm usually but last two days I got out at noon
Love the trim. I wanted to upgrade my 2014 GU patrol seats and was told by ARB the side airbag model Recaro they supply, would default my insurance in the case of an accident... Something to do with the size of the airbag anyone got any ideas what I can do?
Sell your GU and buy an 80 :)
@@t000nz lol never
What makes it one of a kind…. the wrap ?
put some fuel in your car and drive it
best advice ever
Noice... $$$
Make sure you check big end bearings every 100k!
I have heard this before , does the the fte need new shells every 100000k to ensure that long term over many hundreds of thousands of Kim that they don’t spin a bearing ? . It would be good to know as I am seriously considering a 100 series with this engine with nearly 400000klm on it & don’t want to buy & then be up for a new donk ( gturbo WA has full Toyota manufactured long engines for $22000 ) in short term after purchase. Any considered fact based responses appreciated .
@@barbraabsalom4531 Hi, I have built several of these engines for higher performance needs, If the engine is built properly with high quality parts and correct tolerances it will be good for at least 4-500k. Must use ACL race bearings and ARP head studs.
@@DieselAddictionHi , thanks for reply , I have just purchased a hdj100 with 378000klm it has no blowby & sounds right , I appreciate your response from someone who has actually built these , one question , if the motor shits itself in the next 100000klm , should I start saving & buy a brand new Toyota manufactured long block or should I get this one rebuilt with the parts you mention which I realise are upgrades from OEM ? . I have heard these engines can be tricky to rebuild properly , so which way would you go , I would want it done right , can’t afford to do it twice . By the way do you still do rebuilds ? & if so what is your business name & location ? , thanks for any reply.
@@barbraabsalom4531 I am retired now, if you’re not going stupid with tuning and boost, a factory engine is the way to go with warranty. Don’t trust your average mechanic to build an engine these days, it’s a specialists job.
@@DieselAddictionHi , thanks very much for the specialist advice & info from your perspective 👍
🤙👍
PUT A FTE IN YOUR PATROL
🎶 "Promo sm"
FTE 💦💦💦💦
Pretty cool to hear a detailed run down on this Cruiser. We recently finished a build with an FTE, got 315hp and 550ftlbs to the rear wheels. Runs clean and cool too. th-cam.com/video/zV7SUeqQg5Y/w-d-xo.html
