Thank you for sharing that there's not sponsoring attached to the products you're showing. That straight shooting means alot to me and my purchases, as I know others promote brands that they may not want to use themselves. Keep up the great work Rocket! Looking forward to more content.
70k car 30 k trans 30k portals Plus plus plus $250k is my guess Maybe I’d be looking at a mog for that cash! But ‘oh what a feeling’ - this car is awesome!
Just I can't see why not, they are just a satellite system. You can also do Starlink now but that would be data only, that being said you can still make calls and facetime etc with data. Not sure you would go about mounting a star link system on a boat? lol
Well I must say that I..... wasn't a big 79 series fan, liked them but wouldn't own 1. after seeing this well, there's nothing I could say. I WANT 1 Fantastic rig. Well done on the review.
The mod on the axle is the most surprising and impressive mod. Your comment about it is very true about the axles. The pumpkin stays low with very little change but the axle on this vehicle is a game changer on ground clearance.
Another great episode Rod. Love the genuine enthusiasm and excitement. Marvellous looking rig, and seems to well suited to his needs. With every episode I watch, the more I want the auto in my 79. Damn you Rocket Damn you !
Would have to agree, one of the best 70 series I have seen. To answer your question we are running the ARB links system in our troopy which controls air bag pressure, tire pressure and gives you ultimate control of your 12 volt accessories, it would make a great addition to this truck. Keep up the great work lads your video's are an inspiration to us all .👍👍
My only concern would be locating parts for the portals when you're out remotely but this has to be one of the best 79's out there. I wish these were available in the states. Really enjoy these episodes and keep up the great work.
Hey Rod, great video! Our 79 series is running 240kw at the rear and over 900nm torque with a tune & G-Turbo red .... Brian hated driving it before ... but now he loves the power so much it's his car now !!
Good video fellas, certainly a well equipped vehicle ,and from the in car camera it looked at ease driving the streets. If only the 79 was slightly wider, imagine the room inside ,but then I suppose it would be just a 300 series. How does something like this compare with the American trucks like Ram TRX and the Ford Raptor or even the F350 . Great work ,and thanks to the owner for letting it be shared .
Rod that is what I call a Swiss Army knife of a weapon for on and mainly off road use .. when you want to go off grid I don’t think you will have any difficulty getting to the most remote regions… very nice … buy it !!!
Great video Rocket have been following you for years mate youre doing a fantastic job. One thing, as much as the Iridium Go is advertised so you can use internet out in the bush, it unfortunately doesnt really work that way. Its really for txt and phone calls only. Connection is restricted to 2.4kbps which means loading a simple website could take anywhere from 2-5 hours. Its essentially is a SAT phone but functionality is controlled from your phone using a direct WiFi connection to the Iridium Go device from your phone via a specific app to make/receive phone calls/texts rather than having a physical handheld sat phone. If you did want internet in the wilderness your best bet would be Starlink for RV which has just been released (as long as you are in an open area no trees)! 🙂
Thanks for the Update Dudley, always great to get more detailed information and yes the Starlink program is going to be a game changer. My next door neighbour has it and it works brilliantly and we were both on rural broadband.
Ask the owner to get jmacx radius arms /sway bar extension blocks to suit 2 inch lift on top of portals. Looks like he's running OEM radius arms, will make heaps more difference in the stability.
@@WholesaleAutomatics PCOR, as in patriot campers... I love how you compliment the build quality & craftsmanship without realising who Patriot are. Shows a good honest opinion of the product.
Why can’t Toyota do this factory or close just the interior instead of the old school which is so uncomfortable.had to put extra 25-30I to make it look and preform good. Awesome video rocket
Modify/strengthen the Clearview steps to be rock sliders as well. They look a bit delicate compared to where the rest of the vehicle is capable of going. Not much else to do when you've got everything else and then some!!
Essentially there is a 6inch drop box on the end of each axle that lifts the whole vehicle including diff housings, chassis and suspension 6 inch further off the ground. You can also do a suspension lift although I don't recommend this as for one you wont really need it and secondly we don't wont to list the centre if gravity any higher.
Hi Boys what a 4x4 ! There wouldn't be much more you could put on ...see the size of the towbar with the 6" lift. Arrrh what would be the chance he would swap with your 79.... yours has so much more character? Enjoyed the vid.
You should have mentioned that the Iridium Satellite internet is EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE to use. No way in hell would you allow a whole camp of people to use it, especially for FB or YT. The better option is the Starlink system. I use Iridium phones for emergency and even just the phone calls are expensive.
Yes you are correct but this new Star link program is brilliant. Not quite there for northern States but will be by this time next year. www.starlink.com/rv
Question here why does it still have the alligator clamps on one side of the battery instead of an eyelet or something that can pop off on a good bounce?
Hey Rocket where is the list of all the mods you were going to put up, I’m interested in how much a build like this would cost as I’m thinking of getting one done.this the best 79 I’ve seen.👍🏾
A few good questions have come out of the comments so after talking to the owner Scott, we can confirm that the vehicle was in fact built by Scott himself using his own personally selected accessories. While the vehicle is not a Patriot Camper (PCOR) build it does have the PCOR Canopy and tray. Oh and the eagle eye viewers are right, it is a 2000w Redarc Inverter and Cameraman Craig needs better glasses (or to at least wear them)!! Loving all the comments and feedback, keep them coming as we read them all!! - Cheers CC
the only concern i have about the steps.. if you are bogged in and you want to open your door to get out and there is no room for the steps to come out will they remain where they are or still try to come out if so how will this effect the steps deploying????
Ohhhhh what a brilliant question! I will get back to you within the next two weeks and I will ask the techs for info. They are away at the moment so I just need to wait a little. Love the question Adam. Regards Rocket
Hello there my name is Pete and I own a jeep Wrangler sport 2018. My wife and I love our jeep and we have had the car from New. I would like to know what you would recommend is the best Diff locker you would recommend for my car .as it has none.
Why have a 400k porsche cayenne when u can have this? As a Troopy owner that spent half that, have to say if I was to do it again it would be a chopped 200, starting with a much better truck than a 70. My troopy is a whole of life truck, given the direction vehicles are heading, and this year buying a spare engine just in case. Also love my jeeps so my daily is a mod'd grand with the merc diesel, tuned to approx 210 and 700 (love the boxy styling of that gen and that pple assume its slow), that is a hoot around town and on gravel. New project is a 22 stinger with a replacement computer from the US for 350 and 650 which should get along well, for the Mrs who's a bigger lead foot than me. Ill just keep working to pay for it all.
You'll find they're the itechworld 120x lithium batteries. They're a very good middle of the market battery and gear. They're not cheap but not expensive as well.
@Ray Johnson why make it your self if you don't know how and it comes with a warrenty... Also who has the time and if you got the $$$ for a 79 like that you don't make stuff you self you buy it/pay someone to make it...
@@WholesaleAutomatics well first one self explanatory the second is a seat that electrically turns then slides out and then lowers down to a position so a paraplegic can then be put on the seat so they can be put in a vehicle without someone needing to lift them in
I bought electric steps before clear view stocked them and when my wife discovered that I had bought them she said why do I have to show off all the time. I said I got them for her not To show off as the aluminium side steps that were on he hilux didn’t really do the job only about 100mm for her to stand on. She is in and out of it a lot and after a week of them being fitted to her hilux she understood why I got them and she actually admitted it was safer to climb in and out because she is 5 foot 4” the Drivers seat was wearing out the edge of the seat and all the ladies that see them ask my wife were did she get the steps and they would video them and say my husband will be fitting some to our vehicle and she said the vehicles around were they had all been asking are being seen more and more around Hamilton Ascot area.

I have been a subscriber for awhile and I really enjoy your content, the bonfire at the farm was awesome! But I have to question the Australian authorities. As long as you have a qualified shop doing the work, why can't you have portal axles and some other modifications installed after the vehicle is registered?
Stupidity is the correct answer. If the changes are made before first registered a company can apply to become a second stage manufacture and if successful make application to make very specific modifications to the vehicle under federal law. This becomes part of the vehicles second stage manufacturing standards. However once registered then any changes made after first registration need to be recognized by the state that the vehicle is currently registered in. This is where it gets interesting as the state and federal bodies don't necessarily share the same views or standards and the state has the right to deny requests for the exact same upgrade. Yes, I know we live in the great land of government stupidity. I'm sure someone else might have more information to share on this but this is my very basic overview of the situation.
@@WholesaleAutomatics The lack of consistency is frustrating and although we now have a standardised system across heavy vehicles, and a national register of heavy vehicle modifications, the same has not yet happened for light duty vehicles. We do need a national register for light duty vehicles, as well as a mechanism for approved workshops to undertake work and for someone in that workshop to sign off on that work as an authorised representative in the same way second state manufacturers can. Prior to retiring a good part of my role was to provide engineering evidence to our courts when things didn't go well in certain circumstances. Sadly, not all workshops are created equal and although your outfit and others like it do top quality work, I have had to give evidence in many cases where the work in question was, at best, poor - at worst, negligent to the point of causing serious injury or death. I love your work and fully support the introduction of some sort of mechanism to authorise workshops like yours to undertake approved modifications, but conversely there has to be a limit to stop 'backyard cowboys' from doing dangerous knucklehead stuff. I've seen too much evidence (as late as the last seven days) of the cowboy element being well and truly amongst us - even going so far as to showcase illegal modifications on RU-vid. One well-known 4WD RU-vidr has even commented about going down the path they did, then highlighting it online. It isn't just me that pays attention to it. Until this sort of stuff is nipped in the bud, it's really hard to get traction for a national register for light duty vehicles. It's the usual story, a few idiots ruin it for everyone else.
Epic rig Rod, Can you ask the owner how does he grease the top bush on the left rear leaf shackle? The one next to the exhaust. It is too close to the grease nipple. I have the same problem.
Rocket. You would have driven my 2015 extended Jmac 4.5t, when it was in there 3 months ago. How did the ride compare? Mine has some compromises as it doubles as a Farm Ute, Then carries a Tommy Camper when touring. So most of the flashy electrics are installed in it. Everyone who drives mine comments on how well it handles and so smooth. On and off-road (For a 79). Still can't turn for Sh...
Without doing them back to back it wouldn't be fair to compare. This one road very well as it was only 3,750 GVM upgrade and had plenty of weight to make the rear work very smoothly.
