New Build For Travelling Aus ... Have I Made A Mistake? 

Don’t swap the armax snorkel for a staino. The safari one has better suction, airflow, water separation and also doesn’t drone next to your ear. For a tourer a staino is a bad decision. For a bush rig yeah sounds cool adds sound to it but the biggest problem be sides how loud it is next to your ear they also create a low air pressure pocket where it can suck in water vapour and sucks that into the engine. I have touched nearly everything on my rig and have toyed with a fair amount of different mods and this is one to avoid IMO

Im here for the link in description for the 4.8 stroker kit! And the comments discussing the 4.8 😂Stoked for you mate gonna be an unreal trip keen to watch the adventures!

Agree, I can say that a brake booster upgrade on my 76 series was the best or second best upgrade (No 1 if the perspective is on basic safety). Thanks for the content. Cheers

That double pop-up tent is a great idea.😊

All the best Sam. 👍. I know a lot of people are going on about “another” 79 build, but at least your doing it for the right reasons. I would highly recommend getting some cordless fans for when you are sleeping or just sitting around. The air flow helps with flies and mossies a bit and def keeps you cooler. If you go thru Mt Isa after the red center then give us some notice. A lot of guys out here watch your stuff 👍. Cheers bloke

Malcolm Douglas would love those painted nails 😩

Mate, you’re missing out skipping WA! Arguably some of the best coastline in the world! 100% recommend visiting us if you have the freedom to!

TINT!!! as well as bunker style tint on the windscreen... will make a world of difference for life on the road!

Don’t end up like another content creator that tried to do a lap with his mrs and split up half way..

Love that 79.. Supa cool such a deadly colour too. Love gunmetal grey 😮😮😮😂😂❤❤❤

If you’re looking for quality Jerry Can holders I’d definitely recommend the ibuilt gear. Quality is unreal and they look the goods

100% comfy scheelman buckets for the front. Or at least some falcon seats 😂

This is a wild one but at least there a solid reason to it, my suggestion is to swap out the rear seats to be drawers left and right side, doggies can still chill on top all comfy while utilising space for storage (…..providing you ain’t taking mates with ya in your misses rig on those show trips).

Sick mate! beautiful truck

Parabolic leaf springs and some xr6 seats will do you very nicely

Man I wish I made anywhere near close enough to call this a budget build.. but pretty keen to see it through 🤙

maybe see if you can swap the canopy for a lift off still retaining the setup inside just incase you set a base camp and if you wanna do some of the harder tracks seeing as the rig is top heavy to make things more comfortable and not feel as sketchy

Definitely come down to Tassie man, would be epic to see you and the rigs💪🏽

Who doesn't love a 79. My dream rig is the new 2.8 auto 79 dual cab, with pre rego portals, rear coil flexi conversion and no lift on 33's so the gearing is still good. No lift because they are so tippy off camber.

2 or 4 bolts and remove the back seat and you’ve got a good flat platform for the dogs plus some storage. Maybe some sort of rear track correction

Mate Ive done some wicked ks with my pooch that’s part husky. And strongly recommend decent neoprene seat covers. Great for bush , beach mess and with the old fur easy to clean up. Not to mention if the doggo has a drink on the seat.

I don't mind the old safari snorkel with a ram head, still looks tuff, I feel like the stainless are a bit of a cop magnet might need to keep this one a bit more stealth on a few things

Definitely come to Adelaide please! 👍🏽

You will hate yourself if you swap that snorkel out for a stainless one. The noise and the drone is horrendous. Keen to see the end result. I'm not a fan of 79s in general but keen to see the build regardless. As for taking the dogs you might need some sort of water supply we run 2 boxes that go in the foot well. They have a hole for the food bowl and 1 for the water bowl so they can eat and drink as they please and then they alert us when they need out.

Rip in, love your work 🤟

Need to see a coil conversion

I am pumped for this!!

Are you going to do a rear track correction. For the dogs they have those seat covers like the navigator dog seat buddy to protect the seats

4.8 Turbo Diesel - wow very rare

Can't wait for this series Sam!

Come to Adelaide, we are the gem of this country. We also have the best ABs (HSP for you east coast peeps)

Will you be looking at installing the electronic park brake kit?

Water sealed alternator is a must on a 79

35s will be illigal right? I didn't think any state allowed them post rego now?

Going to have a look at the bendix 4 pot rear brake upgrade kit?

It would be neat to really keep this thing budget, keep the 33 inch tyres and see what tracks; if any, you actually get stuck on. & keep a tally of the cost to show how budget it can be. Also, someone must have a TB48 in their shed getting 4.8 and 4.5 confused ;)

Phone and Net? Starlink or Celfi R41? Wondering how or what going to communicate with when go remote? Got to be able to upload all your edited content on here somehow Make sure connect your DCDC ignition wire with Enerdrive setup plus add in a switch in cab and can turn off DCDC from in the cab. Will kill your crank battery otherwise. If got the DCDC set at 50amps, make sure your Alternator can handle a constant 50amp draw plus run all other lights and gear being used, especially at night. The Alternator on the 79 is expensive and awkward location to replace out bush RTT can be great for 1 or 2 night stays but if planning 2 or 3 night stays or longer than a 4man tent can save the morning and evening ritual of packing and setting up bedding each time, especially if want early start. Make sure have wedges or chokes to level the 79 so when sleeping not sliding about all night

I like the 79 but the average person could only dream of owning one so when you say budget friendly I had to laugh but go for still love what you do 🇦🇺👍

Reckon she could do with a bit of window tint for the red centre

When are you getting radius fabrications staino for the 80 buss

Please come to Radalaide 👌🏻🍻

Love the 79 but that is not a budget build lol, half that stuff doesn't need replacing, give the old parts away to people who can use them, no need for a stainless snorkel

Nobody has done a Isuzu nps 300 with a fully sik motor upgrade yet.... Is it a possibility?

Try the rolloc Industries Jerry can holders they look mint

Should do the turbo.

4.8? Has it got a stroker crank in it?

I’d hit up PVS to get their in-car gear with an upgraded head unit and steering wheel controls

Don't forget the console fridge

whats the colour code on your 80 series?

Put some custom led headlights in it

Biggest mod to put in are cup holders

APB do mint Jerry can holders, hit matt up, top bloke

79 series and budget build. Best of luck 😂

I would find out who originally built it up, and where it has been, before buying it.

Will you pack your own nail polish on the big trip.. or share with the misso?

Also don’t waste your time putting light force spotties on the front, yes I know you have them as a sponsor but the stedi type x pros will flog any lightforce products

Come to the yorke peninsula

Put a visor on it mate

Pretty cool "budget build"

If you want it to be cool, you need only one Mod and that’s a for sale sign in the window

200Amp solar panel?

Need to coil convert the big rig

Come to Perth

Tripple M sheetmetal beresfield NSW we can make anything custom you want

What another dual cab build on RU-vid 😮 well at least it's a Toyota

Don’t take off the stedi’s or her pink uhf whip or the safari snorkel

Nice upgraded nails is that a Toyota thing😳

Would look really rice with different side mirrors something a bit stronger

I have a jerry holder you can have bro

Im sure others will point this out too, but it's a 4.5L deisel, not a 4.8L

Portal Axle it, ditch the rear leafs, track correction all in one! MaintaIn stock geo, wider track over stock which will be great with the 35s!

You should get a (Bush Company) roof top tent, better quality

Looks ok as it is, just go now and save your dollars 💵

I back the brake upgrade

Honestly I'm pretty over seeing these cars done up, surely if you used a more unique 4wd you'd get more attention and views and gives us something different to see. But always love ya videos keep up the good work

Great, another 79 build.

4.5 you mean😂

Metalink canopy better than most of the overpriced rubbish promoted by other youtubers, not cheap by any means

Jerry can holders, hmm yeah I think I know a guy..

“We gonna build a tourer”. No mate, you, are gonna take it to your sponsors, or pay at a workshop. So u should say, “We are gonna drop this off to get sumthin done, n in the meantime, I’m gonna make lots of my way cool content, sprayed with innuendo, n primary school humour, with a small mix of cool kids phrases. Then I’ll go n pick up my missus Ute, n drop it off at another place to get something else done” So “our new build” doesn’t really make sense. On the flip side, at least you won’t have to take any spares or tools on your trip, cos I’m pretty sure u don’t know how to use em. 👍🍻🇦🇺

Bros just listed like 30k of mods for the average person inc labour etc unsponsored she ain’t budget no more that’s a 120k car ++

200amp solar panel? Ahaha you mean watt

Hers not his stickers all over it.

Thought this bird was ya sister tbh

Auto swap you’ll love it lol

😂 skipping the best coastline in aus, and the best gorges and landscapes

“Fully legal” ignoring being over gvm

35s won’t be legal without engineering bra

When you can’t afford a 79 or a lap of Australia but you start dating someone who can.

Cue the generic 79 series build by an "influencer" and film it for content.

How do all these 4wd people all get followings they all do the same shit .

Add some clear view mirrors

What’s the tipping point where there are more RU-vidrs driving around Australia in a land cruiser than there are people actually watching? My algorithm is an absolute mess, just thousands of couples driving around.
