- With Jocko's Pony Lux set for a trip to Fraser Island - it's time for a touring set up.
We are keeping the budget theme going and setting a challenge of building a canopy for under $1,000 and a set of drawers for under $200 - can we do it? Watch to find out!

This has gotta be one of the funnest 4WDs we've ever built and driven. What's should we do to it next?
Get some 33s on it!
Put an Ls in it
I think a homebuilt exocage could be cool, would help jocko keep his panels straight as well😂
Put a rotary in it. Chop the springs and drift it
6x6
I love the bare hands next to the welder while tacking the frame together. 💪💪. Straya!!
It’s all good mate he had his thongs on
Nothing like receiving a few extra rays...
7 years ago I didn't even know how to do an oil change. Grew up around computers, not cars and never had an old man or mechanical mates to teach me anything. I've torn down the front of my old Sorento to change cam position sensors, chased an overheat issue around, changing thermos, the radiator, done a heater hose delete, sold it, bought a diesel version of the same SUV, fitted a catch can, done a front to back oil changes and even put in a touchscreen head unit. Learned everything I've done from the University of CZcams and done it all on a disability pensioner's budget with hand tools.
Had a dream the other week about doing some mods for a stealth camper build in my Sorento, removing the back seats, using that space to recess a fridge and a second battery setup, low profile drawers in the back with a bed over the top of it all on one side and open storage on the other, open one back door to get at the fridge, the other door to get at more drawers under the head of the bed. Want it all to be modular so it can be removed and left in the shed most of the time and set up for when I go off on my missions. Just had some new tires fitted today, been saving for ages for that. Next I want to do a 2 inch lift (mostly for new springs and shocks, the old ones have 16 years wear on 'em.) Wouldn't mind a front lokka but 1. I don't think they make them for my 4WD and 2. haven't thought about saving up for one. anyway this video makes me think about other DIY mods I could do, and maybe about learning to weld.
Great story, I hope you get your lockers by some blessed viewers...hint hint. Either way, your story makes me want to get started with my dream overlander as well.
Best of luck with your future mods
Good on you mate.
That’s epic brother, your an absolute champion for just trying let alone getting to that point! Good on ya!!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🇦🇺
Cheapskate
So did anyone check that the Ute was level before using it to make other things level?
lol - good point...
I was watching it thinking the same thing. Was relieved to see them measuring up from the bed. They must have realised a spirit level wasn't working and then levelled the car...or maybe it took them so long with the "angles" because they got it all tacked together before realising the car was on an angle and the canopy was crooked.
Beer straight. No worries
Haha I thought about that too but like my grandpa used to say: We're not making watches here.
It won't matter it will never be on flat ground ,great fun
Grinder and paint make me the welder I ain't
Used to have a shirt that said '"Professional Welder" on it, only there was a line through the word "welder" and it had "grinder" stamped above it. Always got comments about it. I guess most people can relate to it.
exactly what i was thinking throughout
“Your a poet and didn’t know it “
I did a complete fte engine conversion into a 105, In my garage at home. Before that the most I’d ever done on my fourby was an oil change
Fletch Duke hahah I did a 79 series engine into a fj40 it’s on CZcams if you wanna check it out
@@perth7930 love to see the fj40 series
This channel has gotten so much better with jock on board. What a champion, brings great dynamic and variety to the channel.
I did my dual battery system using a redarc 1220 bcdc and 105 amp hour battery installed in a arb battery box on the back of my single cab KUN Hilux to run my 60L fridge also installed 1500 watt investor to run my Nespresso. Went on a hunting trip last weekend and worked perfectly best experience building your own set up. I actually got the idea from Shauno’s dual battery video few months back thanks Shauno!
Done my whole entire 3" long travel lift kit on my 80 series solo, literally absolutelly every suspension component replaced solo, drop arms and all.
I just started my channel where I take trucks to the mountains and break em. Hoping i can make some people laugh.
Bush Truck don’t care
Ok 😃👍
Love this one, everything on my rig is budget build :-D and this one made my day, awesome job keep the pony this style of build, it gives cheap blokes like myself fair bit of inspiration.
Living in the QLD Outback and in the Middle of Cattle Country, There is not an Exhaust shop within a 1000k radius, One evening while drinking a few Beers after day of loading Cattle on a Truck, I had the Bright Idea to put Exhaust Stacks on my 84 Petrol Hilux tray back . Exhaust stacks ended up being Made out of Oval Cattle Rail that was laying in the scrap pile and all the piping was made out of a old set of extractors off a holden 202 and the original exhaust pipe from the hilux, After 5 years of running that set up with the Huge Toyota Muffler mounted under the cab, I decided to give the old girl a new redback muffler and a lukey Hotdog, those were welded in With a Genset Stickwelder that we use to weld up fences and gates.
I bought the mag religiously for 10 years and was devastated when it stopped. But I've gotta say, this content just keeps getting better and I'm enjoying it even more than the DVDs. Thanks for the effort and creativity you blokes are putting into the different projects, I'm loving these shed-based episodes and new format. Cheers!
Man I've been a fan of your enthusiasm and passion for a long time now, and you always amaze me how you guys both get into the stuff you do no matter how big or small it is! Cheers from Turkey!
I built a tub rack for my triton specifically to have my roof top tent sit level with the roof, was sooo happy with it, never broke and did a overland trip with it
I been contemplating doing that for a while now. Got any pics?
@@LivingType1 Yeah plenty, not sure how to get them to you though lol
Built a whole 12v system, ran wires, Anderson plug for everything, dc-dc charger, battery box, fridge, canopy lights etc with very little knowledge. And it has now been running for 1 year without fault.
I'm now building a steel tray and aluminium canopy set up from scratch 🤙
About to build my tray for my rodeo, you guys would have seen it on the highway 2 weeks ago, i passed you legends. That canopy came up MINT
2 years ago being 17 and bought my first forby, having my first mishap in breaking a front cv and diff gears in my old d22 navara, never had any mechanical experience, from watching CZcams and having patience, I was able to replace the cv and install a whole new diff assembly myself within a day, that was such an achievement!
The only way to learn this stuff is to get your hands dirty and have a crack at it.
My first car was only a shitbox Suzuki Hatch that I rebuilt from the ground up including the engine and gearbox. Before doing that I had never even changed a tyre. I didn't even have CZcams back then. I had a few old commodore repair manuals, a few mates who knew some very basic stuff. It took about 9 months of weekends to get it done. That was over 20 years ago and although I have never tacked a project that big again, I have never had any problems fixing my own cars. I've never had to pay a mechanic for anything other then work required for warranty purposes. And one time where I had to pay to get a new starter motor on an BF falcon because I had no tools that would get to the bolts and I didn't feel like pulling the engine to save a $100.
memberHD that’s exactly right, I wish I done it the right way and just rebuilt the centre but was good to know how to replace the assembly but you learn as you go
@@venomx9732 You're barely out of nappies. I'm sure you'll have plenty of opportunities to rebuild diffs. Diffs are almost a consumable part in some motoring circles.
Top effort, good attitude. Never stop learning, never stop having a go.
I really enjoy having more Jocko on the channel, MLP needs a Fulcrum 2" lift and some 32s next and it will be such a weapon!
My son loves watching Shauno and seeing what off roaring adventure he will go on next. After watching this video for the 20th time he decided he needed to add a canopy onto Power Wheels Jeep. We’ve had it up on ramps in our garage with him attaching cardboard boxes as a canopy, and drawer system for spare parts and a cooler. Great show guys thanks!!!
Two guys a shop,4x4 one idea power tools and a welder.The world is your play ground love it and you didn't forget the beer!👍cant wait to see it on the trail. Next mod,maybe a tire carrier or roof rack ,you have beer and welder 🤠🤠
I had to laugh when you uploaded this video as I started building a canopy for my MK Triton this morning. I recently built some rock sliders and in the past built a battery tray for my dual battery.
Great work fellas.
Gotta be one of the best home made canapys I've seen and think I might just still the idea and for a mod CB radio, scrub bar, rock sliders bigger tyres and a wheele carrier
Took a lot of motivation out of this and made my canopy/dog box for my rig and 12v setup and I love it! Cheers!
Absolutely love the DIY mods you can do from home on these rigs. Shows that you can have a hell of a lot of fun with a 6k set up in comparison to a 60k or more set up. Best thing with a rig like the ponylux is you could easily weld a frame or something on the rear gate and bolt on 2 spare tyres. Even a solar set up on the roof of the tray. Love the channel guys.
I’m liking this without even watching it! It’ll be awesome, I know it.
Great job boys ! And looks like Jocko always does the best work with his tongue out 😂😂😂
The one thing I truly appreciate more than anything about this channel is the amount of positivity and sarcasm within the comments is epic there’s never a time you don’t smile whilst watching these videos and that too me is something we need to keep doing in this community 🤘🏽🇦🇺
Love DIY work. I love making my own things like you I am no expert but love the feeling of satisfaction after you complete a project. I built a full front steel bumper for my Jeep Cherokee and in the process of tge rear bumper with a swing out tire carrier. Have also done the same on my dads Zuk aswell. Love the content guys 👍🏻 🇿🇲
Good feeling when a 4WD 24-7 video is uploaded!
this is great, thanks for the video. does the canvas come in black? 33's for the lux
Great job guys, love it. Well done. Canvas canopies are making a comeback
i cant believe that it looks so doable. Thanks mates for the amazing project. This is truly inspirational !
Just picked myself up a
"1992 TOYOTA HILUX SURF 5SP MANUAL" with RWC for $1100
Less rust(no rust) than any 90s hilux I've seen yet
Electric windows sunroof all work like it was still new
How many ks did it have on it?
"A few beers, then a few more beers", it was at that moment I gave a thumbs up.
Great video,
Love the budget build,
Keep them coming,
We can all learn from them
I built my canopy, and after 6 years still going strong
the main thing i got from this .. Shaun had a neat shed & covered area .. and good on you guys for showing you can build your own canopy & make it look pro
You should look at putting a 2 inch lift and a pair of 32s on it just to make it even more capable
2 inch and 33s
@@lucasbarryfitzsimmons5130 oath
35s!
@@glassguy283 thats just over the top man
@@beauspicer5274 My friend is talking about 45's on his Ford. It's just a little ridiculous... making them fit.
I’ve got an identical Hilux (LN106) and I’m selling the tub which is in perfect condition with the lights, if jocks is interested then that would be amazing.
I bought a fairly stock PK Ranger. I swapped the well body to a tray. Did a custom under tray battery box. I installed the lift kit and a custom 90l sub tank mounted under the tray that gravity feeds into the main tank.
The PK had a terrible stock radio. I changed the fascia to allow me to install radio with reverse camera.
I made blanking plates for the EGR after it shat itself for the second time.
I installed DC DC charger system and catch can.
Most recently found a vacuum switching valve that was causing boost issues and fixed it.
Learning how the car works, building and fixing myself is far more rewarding than getting someone else to do it.
Both parents are academics and I learnt most of my car stuff from you tube and trial and error.
Bought a '98 Suzuki Vitara during university and threw more homemade mods at it than should've been done. Taught myself to weld from YT vids like Shauno and made a full front winch bumper, rear bumper w/ hitch and tire carrier, rock sliders, seats from a Mitsubishi Montero Sport on diy brackets, then did a 2" body lift + 1" suspension spacer and threw a snorkel on it from an 80 series. Threw some mud 33's on and took it everywhere. Didn't spend more than $1500 on everything...bought the truck for less than that.
Who would you trust as your Fabricator - Shauno or Jocko?
Jocko for sure
Definitely shauno
Have to be jocko. Shaunos just good for grabbing the beers 🤣 looking mint fellas
Graham
Shauno
Here in New Zealand we have a saying that applies to this perfectly: “ROUGH ROUGH GOOD ENOUGH!”
Always new the dirty 30's first trip would be on Fraser island and me and my family had the privilege to meet Shauno and Jocko on Fraser island with the dirty 30 and the very next day we also saw Roothy and Glenn on our way to Sandy cape. What a great trip it was
I've been on my red Ps for 5 months now with a GU Patrol and a lot of this car upgrade stuff is very new to me. I've put the winch in, 3' exhaust, all new spotties and lightbars, custom rear drawer, custom tilt fridge slide and made a custom drop table attached to the rear barn door. Pretty happy with myself for all I've done. About to buy larger coils and suspension to install myself and thinking of taking out the rear seats for more drawers
Should build some sliders for it next, Or, I live literally 2 minutes from Shauno, can have a crack building some for my car 🤷🏻♂️
I'm early, pretend I said something top comment worthy
Getting liked by 4wd action is top comment worthy
Brilliant comment, mate. True as heck.
Jack Welton And I think I spotted some saw cutting by Shaun without safety glasses - what a blinder!
Good to see you guys using proper tools. Milwaukee all day!! 🤙🤙
Love the crew cab. I have a 93 pickup that I've done a straight axle swap on with gears and lockers. Also have dual cases. Next is a TDI swap and cage. This video gave me a few ideas
There’s a simple tool for that an adjustable T-square you would have used your dad’s as a gun.
Why didn't you just use the headboard rather than cut it off?
Probably because they wanted the whole thing to be removed. Easiest to cut and make new headboard with mounts.
I’ve got a 105 series land cruiser with a 1hdfte motor in it and a bad boy grunter xtreme turbo in it and when I go camping I got a hot water system in it and I’ve also lifted it and put some 33 inches on it
I’ve also put a jerry can holder and wheel holder on the back of it and put a switch in it that I can adjust the airbags with
She’s a beast
I dont drive a 4x4 but a project im very happy about was welding a boost leak shut on my isuzu dteq aluminium intercooler🤘👌, keep up the awesome work and content on the channel Shauno and Jocko.
All the way from South Africa👍
I’m 14 but these guys made me want a Hilux so bad.
I hear ya 👍
I’m 13
I'm 30
Great news mate! these luxys are some of the cheapest and most reliable on the market!
You should start saving so you can buy one on your Ls they are a fantastic thing
Sounds like Jock has had a few blokes aye.As they say, not a man unless you've had a man. good on him
The content you guys do is brilliant, keeps me glued to the screen 🤙
Awesome budget canopy, nicely done, looks mint!
S***
Been looking at making one for my Holden rodeo, but with alum doors, this really gave me some ideas
Learning how to weld it's a whole new world of possibilities, opens you so many doors
thanks for the idea
This is one of the best vids you have done, showing the cheaper alternative to modifying rigs 👍🏼
Should definitely do more of those self build projects - quite inspiring!
I really like the budget builds man it makes me want to get into it because its a lil closer to my reality even though 4x4 tax is unreal here in nz
Awesome project !!!! Team work. You guys rock!
I made myself a canopy about a fortnight ago, this has given me more ideas on what to do to it
Ripper job guys, given me the inspiration to try my own canopy. My self and my mate knocked up a set of side steps for my Triton which in my opinion look better than store bought ones.
Redarc 12v system. Felt I was outa my depth but it came up awesome.
Love these new type of videos boys. Looking forward to watch this Fraser trip
totally love this vid ones like this is what its all about guys please keep these budget build series coming
Absolutely love these types of builds 👌
Couldnt have said it any better! "Half the battle of welding is setting the machine up" 👌👌
You guys did an awesome job and had such a fun time as well
I started rebuilding a HJ75 around Christmas time 2018. It had Fred Flintstone floors in it and you could see daylight through the windscreen surround. Working around school and now uni, it's almost there. I gave the entire body a good coat of 2-pack and put new rubbers in everywhere. Last weekend a mate of mine helped me mount the hydraulic tipper tray and made a few adjustments on the mounting frame. It looks soo good I'm itching to get it on the road!
Great set up guys! Out of my comfort zone was installing a Suzuki Vitara snorkel on my Subaru Forester, no template, just a photo of a mates one over in Aussie to go off!
Bobbed the bed on my 2005 Toyota Tacoma. Cut out 14" between the tailgate and rear tire and then put it back together. Never done any bodywork or paint before but jumped right in. It came out killer.
Love the budget builds and seeing that Hilux come together!
Great video guys! Gives me inspiration to fabricate my own canopy!
That project worked out mint! Good job
I’ve done a full new tray and dog boxes for my d22 navara. with these 6 weeks iso down here in vic I got plenty of time to work on the rig.
From nerd that builds computers and drones, I bought a N70 Hilux last year and have managed to strip and sound proof the cabin, oil catch can, chip, clean the injectors, light bar, more USB ports and a rear 12v connector. Reckon I'll try my hand at something more substantial in the future but the little changes have made her a hoot in the time being.
That’s why I like this channel.....good old DIY built not bought, keep it up boys🤙🏾
JOCKO!! Love the Luxie bruva.
My small tip would be to coat the wood box in the tub with some Duratex or something similar. A roll on bed liner type product will really make it durable & able to weather any moisture you come across.
Great job on the build!!
Very fun to watch in my 85’ Yota 4x4 on my lunch break here in Capistrano Beach, California.
I did my ownTransfer case seals on my hilux 🤙took three days and two boxes of beer but I bloody did it 👌
nice job guys
i admire all your efforts to fabricate this Happy Pony LUX Canopy.. good work guys
When you put your mind to it anything is possible. With the help of CZcams I fabricated my own rock slider , and wrapped my whole Ute .
I'm a little jealous with how that turned out. Absolutely sensational!
I've built a 4x4 front bumper for my 2003 Toyota Prado.... for a first time doing it....i think it came out pretty sweet !!!
nice build great job
That was a great episode just shows what you can do and transform the look. Roof tent next then 👍😁
Awesome build legends. Love it! Go the luxy
Awesome job guys love the vids keep them up
Awesome episode, would like to see more like that. Good job.
Perfect timing on the video. Busy building a similar canopy for my Willys Jeep! Although I'm working MUCH slower...
Great job fellas.. thanks for posting it, it’s given me a few ideas 👍🏻
First thing I've ever done on my car was installing a new psico airbox and plumb kit to suite.... i was really anxious about how I would go doing it myself and I did it and haven't stopped doing my own mods ever since. I've caught the modification bug!!!
Tip,, pull your draw frame out again unscrew it all and glue it,, then put all the screws back in it and reinstall.
then find some method of blocking the gap between the canopy and the tub. And yes,, even with your best efforts at building, it looks great
The dirty30 looking on the bright side in the background it's nice great job mate
I actually finished up my own canopy just a month ago, it turned out much better then i expected!
Lovin all the new content... THIS is an awsome idea.... coz let's face it this is what 90% of us are doing and hreat to watch and get ideas!!! Enjoyable s always... next has to be lift, 33's, turbo!!!
