@@drdellor3880 we dont get to see it, as its a camera vehicle. secondly, he just said their retiring it... we want a patrol in the crew...a gu would be great to watch go head2head with the cruiser
So glad you boys did an episode on the camera crew boys and their rig, as a Gu 4.2 driver myself I was Hanging for this and great that they got a shout out and well deserved credit Love ya work fellas
give those boys a fully decked out Iveco daily or a Unimog, seen some awsome builds in a daily and it will give them plenty of space and bog hole wading depth
Keep the Gu and fix it up It's 90% there, just needs some love Also would love to see the old Gu filmed more, be nice for us patrol boys to see one on the tracks a bit more
would suggest the same but they're bloody massive! fitting down some of the tracks might be an issue. I wonder what those new Iveco dual cab 4x4's go like though?
Should start a 4wd24/7 behind the scenes page and film the camera crew while they are climbing all of these mad hills in a chopped 80 with all the 12v in the world on the back 👌👌
100 % DUEL CAB WITH A CUSTOM BACK TO HAVE 3 SIDES OF ACCESS AND WIRED THE WAY YOU NEED. ALSO PUNCH OUT THE BACK WINDOW TO HAVE EXTRA STORAGE SPACE INSIDE THE CAB.
I store quite a few straps under my driver and passenger seat, it quite a bit of room that is typically forgotten about! Those camera guys are absolute legends!! They have taken some absolutely stunning videos and photographs and deserve recognition! Thanks for the video mate!
All the logistics behind it....the different cameras and angles for each location, matching up the in car gopros with the outside footage, running the drones. Thhose guys must be run off their feet when filming, and then logging and syncing all the footage each day and creating backups.
Honestly I reckon a full rebuild of the GU. It seems like it’s been a great car for you guys for the past couple years and you could use the money you would spend buying a new car on making the GU the ultimate off-road camera car
Get the lads an Iveco Daily 4x4. Imagine the kickarse canopy they could have for their gear. Make a great build series as well getting it kitted out right. Get in touch with Iveco and do a deal. :)
Chopped Y62, Full canopy fit out, 35’s on 17” sunnys, lokka front and rear, complete roof basket, 5 inch lift, storage in the top of the canopy for all the camera gear then fridge and what not under it all, make sure the radio works 😜👌, love ya work guys, good to see that you’s actually include the camera crew 🤘
Iveco daily 4x4 wrapped in team pony decals lol... Or airbrushed Darryl style portrait of the team... Definitely kit that bad boy out with everything the guys need for what they do... Unsung heroes

Loved this one! You Guys should do a behind the scenes video, showing us how the camera crew work, live and coordinate their filming! It'd be interesting to see the relationships you guys have with each other, as us viewers are never really exposed to that!
@@johnhaddad4757 that would be gross seeing them drive a Mercedes....plus has anyone actually tested and taken those on long over landing trips with hard trails?(serious question) I feel like it would get destroyed if it took a hit compared to almost any older 4x4 like they usually drive

Another TD42 freshener up. Auto transmission from Rocket Rod, Portals, 3" lift and 37's. Red twin motor winch in front and low mount under the back. Everything else you pretty have covered except maybe a travel Buddy oven. They are the best option for extreme off road.

Dual cab chopped 105 series with a 700mm chassis extension and custom DMW tray and canopy for max storage. Run 35 inch trepadors with an axis snorkel, tera lume spotties, light bar and work lights aswell as both rear and front lockers. Also get an aftermarket turbo and tune from Ultimate diesel👌
Next camera car should be an Iveco dual cab with a canopy to house all electrical and required gear for the shoot. With 37" tires, they shouldn't have to worry about mud and water entering the cab when they go through bog holes
From the practical point , a wagon that can carry more than most " 1 ton Utes " is the Mercedes G-Wagon 300 professional . Payload 1,200 kg , 200kg on the roof , Front, Centre and Rear diffs , front and rear live axels . It got single 4 seats , take one out for extra space and weight, dual battery 24 volt system - These are factory specs . The Nissan GU Patrol with the standard GVM UPGRADE brings it normally to 550 kg payload . These numbers makes the vehicle look a little overloaded with all the gear + men , second spare etc. .Impressive that the vehicle makes it through all of this so well. Troop Carrier payload without GVM is 892kg.
Dual cab chop and chassis extended 200 on 35's. Custom made canopy. Heaps of canopy space for charging and storage and then still the rear seat area setup for the "need to grab quickly" gear. Full custom roof rack for full storage use as well.
Chopped y62. Would be unique would sound also a bit of a luxury upgrade for the boys and you'd have a lovely blank canopy to set up something wicked for them.
Got to agree, as Shaun said its the only vehicle that hasn't come home on the back of a truck and has driven near all the same tracks as the featured cars. A full rebuild and internal mods to suit the film crew would be worth watching.
Defender dual cab tray back with a bit of help from the boys at mits alloy. Those things are tough as but still bare bones enough that if something gets wet it will still work
Shauno, superb, BUT I think it's time you give the camera crew a video, show us who these behind the scene heroes are. Let's be honest without them you wouldn't have a channel and we wouldn't have superb videos to watch and drool over each week.
I'm a photographer and a good friend of mine works as a professional video videographer, most of us hate being in front of the camera and that's probably the main reason we haven't seen them.
It’s already got all the gear put an Ls, Barra or Cummins in it and a coat of raptor few other bits and pieces, would be nice to see some proper built cars
Chopped SAS'd 200 with 600 mil chassis extension, 35 inch MTR's, Reduction gears, twin locked, twin snorckel, Full 3inch stainsteel exhaust, GVM upgrade, 3inch lift, custom mits canopy, camper trailer or keep the swags for sleeping arrangements, rooftop storage to top off. Mint, enough grunt and space to take the camera crew on their wicked missions across Aus 🤙🏾 Well deserved upgrade and will serve them for at least 5 years to come 💯
Dual cab RC Colorado with the 4JJ1 engine. Cheap to purchase, underrated rig, reliable, something different. SAS it, GVM upgrade, small chassis extension to fit a big tray & canopy, full length roof rack with space for fixed solar and swags. Substantial 12V system. Storage of water tanks, batteries, onboard air all under tray. Big tube bar work all round. Decent flares to fit some offset wheels for a low and wide stance running 35s
Chopped, supercharged Y62, chassis extension, GVM upgrade, 3” stainless exhaust, 4” stainless snorkel and air box from Moonlight, TJM chaser bullbar and and sidesteps, runva winch with a set of Teralume spotlights, tray and canopy setup from DMW, rear bar with winch, 3” lift, 35” tyres on ally bead locks, front and rear lockers, red vision dual battery set up with inverter, secondary fuel tank and water tank in the headboard, under body bash plates, UHF, roof console, seat covers, floor mats and a portable hot water shower for the stinky 3 of the group.
I’ve had a little think and here’s what I reckon. A Ford F-250 dual cab with a tub. Probably go auto cos this thing is already gonna feel enough like driving a truck. It’s big enough for the crew to ride in comfortably. Get a 4 inch lift on there, it’s gonna need it. Might as well Raptor coat it cos it’s gonna catch some scrapes. An alloy canopy that’s sits above the tube with a floor in it. Underneath a bank of lithium batteries to the back(cab). The crew camping gear can slide in front of it. Above that there should be heaps of room for a fridge, food and all the filming gear. Stick a which on the front and a solar panel on top and well as a full ring of lights in all direction for awesome night filming.
@@dtnicholls1 True, I'd want to have a look at bearing speeds as well on an older Mog. Last thing you'd want on that rig is to fry a set of portal bearings somewhere remote. Not only is the size that's an issue, it's the weight. The smallest og th enew Mog's would still be over 8,000kg when it hits the trail with their gear in it.
Weight isn't really an issue. You have to look at the pressure you're placing on the ground, you certainly do have a lot more weight but you also have a lot more tyre and area that weight is distributed over. The load any given piece of ground will support is a function of pressure rather than weight.
Gu wagon with a 6bt Cummins 4” lift an 35s, twin locked, a giggle pin winch, millweld bar work, a jmax bonnet entry snorkel system and all the storage system need for the camera gear.
105 series landcruiser. Automatic running a 4 inch lift on 35 inch tires (Goodyear wrangler MTs) roof rack and runva winch. Redarc 12 volt system. Drifta Stockton drawer set up and same custom camera gear storage as the GU. Clearviews of course. Sliders and custom off-road bash plate. And to finish it off...a snatch clothing sticker across the windscreen⛺️⛰
@@harrygibbs-hughes4820 things do have a used by date, but i doubt its really not that bad, they may be getting a sponserd camera car from someone else
It's not the engine thats tired mate! She's got some life in her yet. its things like spring perches on the chassis, body mounts, door hinges etc. All the stuff that isnt routine maintenance but goes after a vehicle has had a hard life. She needs a rest and some TLC! - Jocko
Definitely landcruiser chopped dual cab conversion, not too long to keep those approach and departure angles happy. lift it up, 35's and a decent bash plate and some underbody protection. Solar panels and batteries are a must. front bar and rear bars with front and rear winches. Fit out the rear conversion with spares storage, recovery gear and the Camera equipment and a fridge, should probably chuck one of those little pie ovens in there for the Camera boys as well, make sure they can get a decent bite while dragging you guys out of trouble. probably need a few extra CV's in there given the recent cruisers history. I'm sure DMW would be happy to help rig that beast up.
Been on a shoot before but with dirt bikes. Couldn't wait for the trip, but the reality of the experience is very different to what you finally watch. The whole day takes longer as they've got to setup shots. Then when you get to camp and the cameras are off, they're not sitting around drinking beer and talking all night. They're working on their computers well into the night. If you want to have fun on a trip, just go with your mates.
A Mog came to mind first for me. They're awfully slow on the highway, but almost nothing stops a Mog. I thought they had some smaller models... I ran the Rubicon in Wackofornia and Unimogs are used to bring in lots of equipment for the Jeepers Jamboree. We passed several on our way out. A convoy of Mogs is quite the sight! The Sierras aren't much like your trails though. You guys use 79 series , so why not one of those with an auto tranny? Is there a 4 door model? My brother in law has a built FZJ. Ive got a very modified and beaten Yota pickup to help out the 'Cheeps' ! Yotas go everywhere! Toyota's rock!
A bakkie as we call it in south Africa (Ute), can keep all the gear high up out the water in the tray in a canopy, plenty space for batteries, inverters, charging space on either side of the canopy, fridge can, fit nicely too, and yet still have space in the cab to sit and maybe out some basic charging place inside the cab. Put some 35s on it with a 2 inch lift no Hassel and maybe a front locker. Which dual cab is up to you haha, my 2 cents. Keep up the golf work guys
Iveco daily or unimog! will have heaps more space to be able to take heaps more things giving you guys the opportunity to expand and grow your show even more!
A brand new Land Cruiser 200 series (not chopped) in black, equipped with: 3 inch lift minimum 35 inch AT tires, a TJM bullbar with s winch and rigid night lights, a TJM snorkel, a rear bumper, reinforced side rails , a 270 degree awning, a TJM Yulara rooftop tent, 12volt system, drawers. Dual lockers(front and rear), automatic ith a Ultimate 9 throttle controller, big turbo diesel engine 3.2 for towing . Cheers from Costa Rica!
A dual cab is probably the way to go. With a touring canopy set-up obviously waterproof and up higher then where a wagons door finishes. 35's on anything is all they need. Get them a D-max.
Camera car should be a hilux similar to kaito’s 3” lift on 35’s as you said to run the same wheel and tire combo as other cars in the convo, should put on a big canopy to carry all the gear I’m not a pro on the extra battery’s and camera equipment but the canopy should be able to be set up to perfection and overall easier to reach in times because it’s all accessible really easy, better turbo, diesel for better fuel consumption and auto because it’s easier for on tracks for better throttle control solid axle and and everything needed to lower the chances of breaking cvs, raptor coat over everything and maybe even a pressure washer hooked up so after going through big holes and whatever where you get mud and water in the cab you can just open everything up and use the pressure washer when needed
What do the crew need, want or what are they thinking? They will have a far better idea than any of us, of what works and what doesn't when they're the ones using it everyday. I imagine they're madly in love with the GU as they've been together for so long now and they just want it to live on forever.
For the new camera rig, I think you should go with a Landcruiser XT200. If you could I would have the dual cab a little extended depending how much room you need. You will have heaps of space in the back seat for the camera gear along with the 3rd person in the backseat. You will also have extra space in the canopy for your fridge, tools and extra things for the camera gear etc. They are extremely capable and very tough. I would go with 3 inch lift and lots of ARB or TJM accessories.
Copped 105 series 3 inch lift on 35s with a nice big canopy on the back fully decked out with all the draws and storage will give them so much more room and a better way of setting stuff up with pretty much the same 12v setup that’s in the GU. Maybe even a slim line drifta roof top tent on top of the canopy for easier set up.
79 series land cruiser dirty 32”s with a “3,5 lift kit 4” dump pipe all lockers big muddies the hole Shaba got bois love the vids keep it up learnt so much off of u guys about 4x4s
Chopped and extended y62 patrol with 3” lift and 35s. Twin locked, twin snorkels for more air intake and bar work all round. Chuck a turbo in it-it’ll have more than enough space for the boys and their toys and it’ll have an incredible amount of reliable power to get you where you need to be and then some. Plus plenty of space for extra petrol cause it’ll be chewing through that also ;) but it’s all apart of the fun..aye?
Nice walk around of the camera vehicle. It’s cool how you are open to suggestions from the subscribers. You can tell your a life long learner. Go for a Lexus LX 470. Those hard working camera guys deserve a little luxury.
Y62 supercharged. That one you guys had drag that camper trailer everywhere through the trails was beast! Pull out the third row and put all the battery systems in that space.
Full GU rebuild inside and out, raptor lined, possible engine swap or rebuild the 4.2, get her chopped and put a decent canopy/ tray setup, film it all and put it out in a series build??
A chopped 200 series for some comfort for the camera crew. And ofcourse 750mm extended chasis for additional space for the camera gear. All other basic necessary mods like snorkel, slider bars, bull bar front and back and ofcourse a winch (probably a whinch at the rear end also would be an added bonus). My only concern would be if 200 series would be too big for some of the tighter tracks. In that case a dual cab 70 series with auto conversion, recaro seats and 750mm chasis extension.
Ford raptor, 35s, 3 inch, dual cab, canopy, massive 12v system, big tunes for maximum power. upgrade turbos and also gvm, plus your average accessories, snorkel, lights ect.
Chop a 200 series and make it a 6x6 with air bags a full canopy to store the camera gear a dual battery set up for the ultimate touring and 4 wheel driving
Do a 105 or 100 Series Landcruiser Dual Cab Chop with a Full Size Canopy, Plenty of Room for 3 blokes, Camera gear and we all know Shauno loves his cruisers.
Big 76 series cruiser, with a superior coil kit 4 inch 35s, with full redarc kit, and an auto swap from rocket rod, perfect motor loads of power and plenty of space

Shauno, superb, BUT I think it's time you give the camera crew a video, show us who these behind the scene heroes are. Let's be honest without them you wouldn't have a channel and we wouldn't have superb videos to watch and drool over each week.
I'm a photographer and a good friend of mine works as a professional video videographer, most of us hate being in front of the camera and that's probably the main reason we haven't seen them.
It’s already got all the gear put an Ls, Barra or Cummins in it and a coat of raptor few other bits and pieces, would be nice to see some proper built cars
I would love to see a Cummins swapped camera car with 37s and a 4 inch lift.
@@BensDrivingVideos already pretty big but a 4” lift with 35s would be nice, definitely be awesome with a Cummins 4bt or 6bt
Definitely do this would be so tuff with a Cummins swap new snake racing flares scrub bars up front big roof top tent to fit the lads in etc etc
Would be better than any Toyota.
Barra and Ls are shit for rock crawling Cummins would be the way to go
Chopped SAS'd 200 with 600 mil chassis extension, 35 inch MTR's, Reduction gears, twin locked, twin snorckel, Full 3inch stainsteel exhaust, GVM upgrade, 3inch lift, custom mits canopy, camper trailer or keep the swags for sleeping arrangements, rooftop storage to top off. Mint, enough grunt and space to take the camera crew on their wicked missions across Aus 🤙🏾 Well deserved upgrade and will serve them for at least 5 years to come 💯
Dual cab RC Colorado with the 4JJ1 engine. Cheap to purchase, underrated rig, reliable, something different. SAS it, GVM upgrade, small chassis extension to fit a big tray & canopy, full length roof rack with space for fixed solar and swags. Substantial 12V system. Storage of water tanks, batteries, onboard air all under tray. Big tube bar work all round. Decent flares to fit some offset wheels for a low and wide stance running 35s
Keep the camera crew in a patrol can’t go wrong with them 💪🏼
Iveco Daily, big enough for 3 blokes and unlimited gear, and tough enough to lead the pack and tackle the tough stuff!
Chopped, supercharged Y62, chassis extension, GVM upgrade, 3” stainless exhaust, 4” stainless snorkel and air box from Moonlight, TJM chaser bullbar and and sidesteps, runva winch with a set of Teralume spotlights, tray and canopy setup from DMW, rear bar with winch, 3” lift, 35” tyres on ally bead locks, front and rear lockers, red vision dual battery set up with inverter, secondary fuel tank and water tank in the headboard, under body bash plates, UHF, roof console, seat covers, floor mats and a portable hot water shower for the stinky 3 of the group.
I’ve had a little think and here’s what I reckon.
A Ford F-250 dual cab with a tub.
Probably go auto cos this thing is already gonna feel enough like driving a truck.
It’s big enough for the crew to ride in comfortably.
Get a 4 inch lift on there, it’s gonna need it. Might as well Raptor coat it cos it’s gonna catch some scrapes.
An alloy canopy that’s sits above the tube with a floor in it. Underneath a bank of lithium batteries to the back(cab). The crew camping gear can slide in front of it. Above that there should be heaps of room for a fridge, food and all the filming gear.
Stick a which on the front and a solar panel on top and well as a full ring of lights in all direction for awesome night filming.
Unimog - 48s, portals and studio set-up in tray
Limited to 80kph on the highway though and they'd need truck licenses.
@@agentcrm You can get an overdrive kit that'll get you the extra 20k.
Problem with a mog, or even the Iveco is getting it to fit down the tracks.
@@dtnicholls1 if they get a puncture they would need a crane just to change tires lol those mog wheels are heavy!
@@dtnicholls1 True, I'd want to have a look at bearing speeds as well on an older Mog.
Last thing you'd want on that rig is to fry a set of portal bearings somewhere remote.
Not only is the size that's an issue, it's the weight.
The smallest og th enew Mog's would still be over 8,000kg when it hits the trail with their gear in it.
Weight isn't really an issue. You have to look at the pressure you're placing on the ground, you certainly do have a lot more weight but you also have a lot more tyre and area that weight is distributed over. The load any given piece of ground will support is a function of pressure rather than weight.
I reckon you guys should run a big troopy, plenty of space for all the boys and a butt load of camera gear
What about the access to the rear seat... They need to get in and out quickly.
@@coreydark8795 get the side door model
@@hellonwheels6429 so you mean an ex ambulance one as they're custom modified adding the side door if you didn't know that...
76 series cruisers are a 4 door
Gu wagon with a 6bt Cummins 4” lift an 35s, twin locked, a giggle pin winch, millweld bar work, a jmax bonnet entry snorkel system and all the storage system need for the camera gear.
105 series landcruiser. Automatic running a 4 inch lift on 35 inch tires (Goodyear wrangler MTs) roof rack and runva winch. Redarc 12 volt system. Drifta Stockton drawer set up and same custom camera gear storage as the GU. Clearviews of course. Sliders and custom off-road bash plate. And to finish it off...a snatch clothing sticker across the windscreen⛺️⛰
Id keep it, as shauno said "its always made it home in 3 years" why buy something with unknown history/reliabilty
Last legs mate
@@harrygibbs-hughes4820 td42 patrol on its last legs at 300k? No way mate it’ll go another 300
@@harrygibbs-hughes4820 things do have a used by date, but i doubt its really not that bad, they may be getting a sponserd camera car from someone else
It's not the engine thats tired mate! She's got some life in her yet. its things like spring perches on the chassis, body mounts, door hinges etc. All the stuff that isnt routine maintenance but goes after a vehicle has had a hard life. She needs a rest and some TLC! - Jocko
@@4WD247 ahhh that makes more sense now, i was guessing it may of been something like that thanks jocko
Dual cab 4x4 canter. Costs less than a game-changing 79 build, has a crap tonne of space and will run 37s with no dramas.
Off-road ability in hard core areas and keeping up with the other vehicles will be the issue. Not that comfortable
Definitely landcruiser chopped dual cab conversion, not too long to keep those approach and departure angles happy. lift it up, 35's and a decent bash plate and some underbody protection. Solar panels and batteries are a must. front bar and rear bars with front and rear winches. Fit out the rear conversion with spares storage, recovery gear and the Camera equipment and a fridge, should probably chuck one of those little pie ovens in there for the Camera boys as well, make sure they can get a decent bite while dragging you guys out of trouble. probably need a few extra CV's in there given the recent cruisers history. I'm sure DMW would be happy to help rig that beast up.
Been on a shoot before but with dirt bikes. Couldn't wait for the trip, but the reality of the experience is very different to what you finally watch. The whole day takes longer as they've got to setup shots. Then when you get to camp and the cameras are off, they're not sitting around drinking beer and talking all night. They're working on their computers well into the night. If you want to have fun on a trip, just go with your mates.
Ex ambulance troop carrier with the extra side door.
Easy to get in the back, reliable, can take everything with ease.
a uni mog, you can fit all their family as well if you really wanted to or heaps more beers it's up to you.
O good for the highway. They will want to make miles every day
@@chrisbainrot5731 mate this is 4wd247 what's a highway
A Mog would be sick! only problem is it might be hard to fit down all the tracks! - Jocko
@@4WD247 marking it even more interesting!! Jackhammers and chainsaws :)
A Mog came to mind first for me. They're awfully slow on the highway, but almost nothing stops a Mog. I thought they had some smaller models...
I ran the Rubicon in Wackofornia and Unimogs are used to bring in lots of equipment for the Jeepers Jamboree. We passed several on our way out. A convoy of Mogs is quite the sight! The Sierras aren't much like your trails though.
You guys use 79 series , so why not one of those with an auto tranny? Is there a 4 door model? My brother in law has a built FZJ. Ive got a very modified and beaten Yota pickup to help out the 'Cheeps' ! Yotas go everywhere! Toyota's rock!
A bakkie as we call it in south Africa (Ute), can keep all the gear high up out the water in the tray in a canopy, plenty space for batteries, inverters, charging space on either side of the canopy, fridge can, fit nicely too, and yet still have space in the cab to sit and maybe out some basic charging place inside the cab. Put some 35s on it with a 2 inch lift no Hassel and maybe a front locker. Which dual cab is up to you haha, my 2 cents. Keep up the golf work guys
Iveco daily or unimog!
will have heaps more space to be able to take heaps more things giving you guys the opportunity to expand and grow your show even more!
Love to see a video about the camera team what they do and how they do it.
Yes would love to see that too.
Who would film it lol
keep it something that you and the camera crew can trust reliability on and wont break down even if it's old or new
A brand new Land Cruiser 200 series (not chopped) in black, equipped with: 3 inch lift minimum 35 inch AT tires, a TJM bullbar with s winch and rigid night lights, a TJM snorkel, a rear bumper, reinforced side rails , a 270 degree awning, a TJM Yulara rooftop tent, 12volt system, drawers. Dual lockers(front and rear), automatic ith a Ultimate 9 throttle controller, big turbo diesel engine 3.2 for towing . Cheers from Costa Rica!
i love how they say it’s not really modified i wish my 4b had this many mods
I mean you've got one of the best off road cars already....
A dual cab is probably the way to go. With a touring canopy set-up obviously waterproof and up higher then where a wagons door finishes. 35's on anything is all they need.
Get them a D-max.
Camera car should be a hilux similar to kaito’s 3” lift on 35’s as you said to run the same wheel and tire combo as other cars in the convo, should put on a big canopy to carry all the gear I’m not a pro on the extra battery’s and camera equipment but the canopy should be able to be set up to perfection and overall easier to reach in times because it’s all accessible really easy, better turbo, diesel for better fuel consumption and auto because it’s easier for on tracks for better throttle control solid axle and and everything needed to lower the chances of breaking cvs, raptor coat over everything and maybe even a pressure washer hooked up so after going through big holes and whatever where you get mud and water in the cab you can just open everything up and use the pressure washer when needed
What do the crew need, want or what are they thinking?
They will have a far better idea than any of us, of what works and what doesn't when they're the ones using it everyday.
I imagine they're madly in love with the GU as they've been together for so long now and they just want it to live on forever.
It's just gotta be another GU... They are super tough rigs, the current camera car proves it.
For the new camera rig,
I think you should go with a Landcruiser XT200. If you could I would have the dual cab a little extended depending how much room you need. You will have heaps of space in the back seat for the camera gear along with the 3rd person in the backseat. You will also have extra space in the canopy for your fridge, tools and extra things for the camera gear etc. They are extremely capable and very tough. I would go with 3 inch lift and lots of ARB or TJM accessories.
Copped 105 series 3 inch lift on 35s with a nice big canopy on the back fully decked out with all the draws and storage will give them so much more room and a better way of setting stuff up with pretty much the same 12v setup that’s in the GU. Maybe even a slim line drifta roof top tent on top of the canopy for easier set up.
I think another Gu. it seems to work well for the guys. you can also swap pretty much everything on the current gu across. keeps the costs low too.
79 series land cruiser dirty 32”s with a “3,5 lift kit 4” dump pipe all lockers big muddies the hole Shaba got bois love the vids keep it up learnt so much off of u guys about 4x4s
boring
Chopped and extended y62 patrol with 3” lift and 35s. Twin locked, twin snorkels for more air intake and bar work all round.
Chuck a turbo in it-it’ll have more than enough space for the boys and their toys and it’ll have an incredible amount of reliable power to get you where you need to be and then some. Plus plenty of space for extra petrol cause it’ll be chewing through that also ;) but it’s all apart of the fun..aye?
Nice walk around of the camera vehicle. It’s cool how you are open to suggestions from the subscribers. You can tell your a life long learner. Go for a Lexus LX 470. Those hard working camera guys deserve a little luxury.
Y62 supercharged. That one you guys had drag that camper trailer everywhere through the trails was beast! Pull out the third row and put all the battery systems in that space.
Do a build on the GU. Dual cab conversion with canopy and chassis stretch. Maybe get some new door seals and head unit too...
Troops for the win I reckon lots of room in there for the crew
Nothing would get filmed.. Be forever putting the troops back on its wheels or fixin cv’s..
Impressive lay out in the camera car, amazing what these vehicles will get through given the weight they are packing.
Full GU rebuild inside and out, raptor lined, possible engine swap or rebuild the 4.2, get her chopped and put a decent canopy/ tray setup, film it all and put it out in a series build??
Dual cab chop gu
With the 750mm extension
with 6bt or duramax
A chopped 200 series for some comfort for the camera crew. And ofcourse 750mm extended chasis for additional space for the camera gear. All other basic necessary mods like snorkel, slider bars, bull bar front and back and ofcourse a winch (probably a whinch at the rear end also would be an added bonus). My only concern would be if 200 series would be too big for some of the tighter tracks. In that case a dual cab 70 series with auto conversion, recaro seats and 750mm chasis extension.
Ford raptor, 35s, 3 inch, dual cab, canopy, massive 12v system, big tunes for maximum power. upgrade turbos and also gvm, plus your average accessories, snorkel, lights ect.
Chop a 200 series and make it a 6x6 with air bags a full canopy to store the camera gear a dual battery set up for the ultimate touring and 4 wheel driving
6x6 is great for carrying loads on a glacier or in the desert. Not a great forest vehicle.
Yea grouse idea 👌
As cool as that may be you need to think about tight trails approach angles and ground clearance
Do a 105 or 100 Series Landcruiser Dual Cab Chop with a Full Size Canopy, Plenty of Room for 3 blokes, Camera gear and we all know Shauno loves his cruisers.
Big 76 series cruiser, with a superior coil kit 4 inch 35s, with full redarc kit, and an auto swap from rocket rod, perfect motor loads of power and plenty of space
What about a VDJ78 Troopy with an Alucab Hercules conversion? But then the camera car may steel the show from all other cars in the convoy ^^
OKA is now back in production in WA. Or there is a tonne of ex army 6wd Perenties available now
