Shaun Whale's BEAST 79 LandCruiser! In-depth rundown what you need to know to build the ultimate one 

It's nice to hear someone be honest about the 70 series landcruiser. Beautiful ute though.

I've never seen a more positive comment section than here in RU-vid. Well done 4WD Action.

Honestly wish there was a American channel/show that was remotely comparable to 4wd Action.. lovin’ the show boys. Cheers from the swamps of Florida. 🍻

My day is a lot better when 4 wheel drive action uploads

Loving the 79 , but need to confess ... my heart belongs to " the old-new dirty 30 beast" i absolutely love her !! Good on you Shaun`o

What a beast of a 79 I thought I ran out of ideas for my 79 single cab but thanks to you shauno I’ve got more to look forward to, look forward to seeing you in August for the Melbourne 4wd show 👌👌👌👍👍👍

I’m 13 and a 79 series cruiser has been my dream car since I was 5 when I went for a drive in my friend’s dads cruiser

Shawno and Graham, you inspired my husband and I to start overlanding!.. We were originally a sailing couple and have sailed the entire pacific, but after watching 4WD action for so long, we knew we found our true passion lol, so THANK YOU!.. We live in Vancouver, British Columbia (Canada's Pacific North West) and we JUST returned from touring from Vancouver to the Yukon territory and explored as many kilometers of the Yukon as we could.. The highway distance from Vancouver to the Yukon territory is about 2407 kilometers, each way.. Combining all the trailblazing and exploring for remote camping spots we did along the way.. We clocked an estimated almost 6000 kilometers (give or take) entire round trip... Next year in January we are coming to Australia, or maybe heading to South Africa.. I want Australia and my husband wants South Africa, so we'll see.. My husband said you guys should charge people to go on tours with you guys, maybe even be on a episode.. Charge like 30 grand lol.. People will be.. My husband and i would.. We have a relative there in Australia with beautiful land, so we have a place to store whatever we buy.. Our last trip was in a fully restored and heavily modifed 1995 Land Cruiser (80 series).. We want a 6x6 beast when we come to Australia.. Cheers!

your 79 is great and sounds great too cant wait for the dirty 30 update

In 12:10 when Shauno said the miso loves it he meant graham

Beautiful Rig, Absolute weapon. Always a dream to have one

The quality for all of your videos are beyond mint, truly blessed to be able to watch, mint lads. Come to NZ and rip up our tracks

these 79's are awesome, solid front axle, tow a big boat very well and tops on resale, love the TJM bar work

I'd love to see you guys do a video on the best capable factory 4x4 for overlanding.. For those of us that can only afford tires and a rooftop tent and our camping accessories... Or factory engine at least.. I'd love Grahams opinion because he always proves that smaller can still be VERY capable.

Shauno... absolute stunner of a vehicle.. love the vids detailing the different configurations of each vehicle for each specific purpose. Would love to see a 4wd Action trivia game showcasing some of your favourite tracks with multiple choice questions on what would you do how would you do it.

That was an excellent break down of what you did to your truck. even down to stereo and communicate equipment. you didn’t miss a beat. fantastic channel you guys have. like someone else said. there is no US channel like this. you guys are truly above the rest in adventure channels. from US

I wish we could get them in the U.S. 😢 kids also love the channel!. cheers from TX !

Love your work Shano. Not many channels can claim the following due to the honest and straight-up talk you guys deliver

I’ve learnt more about how to go about modifying one of these 79series watching your video in the whole 6-7 years iv been interested in owning one of these thanks that was really helpful and honest 👍🏽

Thanks Shaun for a great review on the Ute. I learnt heaps about the 79 Series from this vid. Excellent job on it mate. You have however talked me out of getting one. Cheers 🍻. I think. 😁

You boys are the best! Travelling around Europe watching your vids. Missus had a watch for a minute without knowing what it was. And now she is hooked and is not the outdoor type!

Thanks Shauno, quality content as always. When I get my 79 I will use a lot of your ideas.

Very nice setup. Great info I've gotten from this channel alone. Thanks guys.

Awesome built and great video! Thanks for sharing!

you guys are awesome for releasing content! love the channel!

Honestly when I get a Landcruiser, I'm going for the setup that he been doing, it so capable. Good work boys

That is the definition of a touring rig! Awesome job👍

Loved the thorough walk through. Thanks!

Would love to see a full garage tour or a day in the life style video

Shauno that's a sick rig man! Much love from texas!

Thanks for that review. After planning on a 79 series as my ultimate lap vehicle, I will now look else where.Cheers

A nice story about your 79, everything Shauno explain is so well introduced. Yes a hell of good 4wd rig, your dream offroader really cost you a fortune.

You built 1 awesome off-road truck. Can’t wait to see that truck in action. 👍🏼🤙🏼

Great video. The appeal of the 79 now makes sense to me.

Great rig man!!Glad to hear that they are as expensive in Australia then here in South Africa.Thumbs-up for the honesty!Still my dream vehicle though.

only two things that make me drool instantly. A nicely done bbq and a nicely built rig!

Was awesome to see this rig in person Shauno, whatta weapon!

I watched this straight after watching Grahams Q&A and you two blokes are legends be good to meet ya one day Shaun

Great to see you mentioned dusting the engine because the air box does not seal. same with my 2015 Ranger. The genuine ford air filter element is not tall enough to create a good seal, pack some cardboard under filter and problem fixed. I noticed fine very fine dusting in the air intake pipe after a very dusty trip.

Honest review of the 79. Well thought out rig mate!

in the process of saving for a v8 cruiser rn hopefully getting one in january🤙🏻

Picking up my 2020 79 in 3-4 weeks shauno absolutely chomping at the bit mate can't wait. Dream come true for sure

Love this beast great work mate 👌🤙

It's a treat to sore eyes ! 👍 Happy off roading bro!!

What an honest love for a truck! Well done mate - the truck and the video.

I love my General X3's. Great grip, milage, price and low noise on the highway. Made in South Africa. Running them on my Defender 130 beast...

Best review I've watched on the mighty 79. No mayo and all honesty

😘nice build and cool setup..bravo 4wd Action👍✌

Literally the best and honest description and practical 79 set up I've seen. Although he forgot to mention the rear wheel track issue. At the end of the day these rigs are for people with disposable incomes or people in positions like Shauno who can write em off on tax and have friends in the industry to afford the mods needed to make them practical. If you are the kind of person that is just scraping to afford one, they are a serious money pit/divorcee maker. Side note, Shauno is such a top bloke and definitely living his dream life.

dream build. need that in the US

One of the most honest reviews of a 4x4 I have seen in a long time. Most reviews talk about how good their setup is (which is what I expected when I clicked on this) but was pretty surprised when Shaun started ruling out stereotypical setups. The 79 series being under powered from factory, the gear ratios being inconvenient, the clutch being weak, the uncomfortable seats, "the worst sound system after the late T-ford", and a "centre console that you can't even rest your arm on".. Still a beautiful vehicle..

Love the video about your setup. Really like seeing everything your running and how it's setup. Definitely have me a few ideas for my rig. You guys should do a detailed video like this for Shorty and the D-Max and the Dirty 30 when it gets done also. Thanks mate have a good one!

Great video Shaun. Thank You.

Ultimate dream car. I’ll own a 79 one day

The 79 is a weapon 😍

Aaaah Shauno, finally! A Land Cruiser man through and through - love it!!

Beast of a rig! Nice job!

Such a beauty of a vehicle

just started watching these guys. low key wanna move to Australia just for the wheeling lol

Really awesome setup

Best 79 series set up ever mate!

That's killa Shauno!! Nice rig 🤠👍

Some 79 shauno looks so good mate well done i wanted a stainless snorkle but i won this one in a competision so had to put this one on but man this thing is amazing

All your toyotas are brilliant I have RAV4 not as hard core as yours but love it great videos keep them coming 👍

Its a beast shaun. Great work...!

Sweet dude. Congrats!

Bloody great video Shauno! I got a few great ideas for my dual cab 79. The seats are the best upgrade i reckon! You use them every time you get in. I find the stock seats don't incline upright enough and i find myself leaning back a bit too much. Love the suspension seats! Your cruiser is a damn sight better than the Nulon cruiser i have to say! Simple and practical, great job mate! Go the 79!

love that truck

Great looking rig Shaun

Love the 79, ever since I saw yours I’ve been dreaming for one and I know who I’m turning to once I want to see the best upgrades once I get one

Love your videos

Absolutely love this ute rocket rods ute is cool to Graham his shorty is Also a weapon love watching you guys awesome

Why would anyone dislike such a great video, I can’t wait any longer for the fresh cruiser please get it to ussssssssss

That's a real nice setup

That 79 is mint👌

Awsome video, nice details🍻

Beast of a 79!

Mate!!! Very soon to be a member of the land cruiser club!! Could watch you talk all flipping day!! 😂, great video, keep up the good work mate!

Sick this is just how I want to set up one of these I like half canopy it the way to go

Good video mate

imagine just having the sickest 4wds and changing them up depending on what you're doing. Heaven

Love to see him on Ronny Dahl’s channel

I am bewildered at all that monster rig is caring....

and btw cant wait to see your new and improved dirty 30 on the tracks.

So sick. New fan from USA

Awesome Shaun! :)

That 12v set up is so good lookin

Such a weapon Shauno!

Hi From one ShaunO to another. I fully agree with your review on the 79. I love mine but planning a few comfort mods to make the long hauls easier. It's quite a shock to the system going from a Fortuner and then a Hilux to a 79 but I wanted a big camper. Now I just got to figure out how to move the spare wheels. I am seriously considering removing the rear seats and building a carrier for the spares in there. Cheers from the Southern tip of Africa

That is a sweet 79 series!! Man, we get screwed in the US and I would rather have the 79 series than the 200 series land cruiser available! Just subscribed and liked the video, keep up the great content...

Lets add it up, 79 series double cab $82,454 Chassis extension $8,000 Tray and canopy $10,000 Superior Lift kit $5,000 Accesories $20,000 = $125,454 Seems like a lot considering you could chop a gu patrol and extended it 400mm fit it it out the same for $50,000 - $60,000 and have a better more capable vehicle off road with all the creature comforts you'd ever want / need!

So much envy. If only we could get them in the states.

Honest review, they are not value for money. It's a basic donkey but if u got money to burn God u can make it into a stallion.

Would like to see a similar video of Rocket's 79 as well. Legend of a truck that is...

Shauno! You need to get show to buy u a big ol RAM! Love the show! Great JOB and keep it up mate! Cheers from USA! Have to import you one year and do MOAB in UTAH!

yeah ill have a 6.6ltr before i own a 4.5ltr but nice truck mate, good to see you look after your gear!

Shawno rocks love that GSP of is . Nothing better then a 79 and a GSP . I want to move to Auz for this very reason

Hope everyone has a good day 😊😊😊😊😊

Absoulately fantanstic truck you got mate... I love the way it looks, i like the shower part...no more river splashing...!

this 79 is a beast
