You have the best skills on the internet for building amazing cars and also the worst taste in music and editing skills. looks like fun though
Haha thanks mate. Music is a hard one, I find it really challenging to find non-copy right music that fits well, if I was able to use music that I actually like it would be a lot better!
Editing, happy to take on constructive criticism. I don’t have the resources to produce a high quality polished video and would happily take on tips. Know of a low budget channel that edits well for reference?

That ear to ear grin , so happy for you to accomplish the build and make it to Cape York and back.
There's not many cars that can drive up there and back without a problem or two , cheers Geoff
Cheers Geoff!
Finally we get to see it in action! :D
you beauty! loved the "coming up" section
2 great looking cars. Nice and relaxed guys taking us on their journey. Thank you. Looking forward for next part
Its great to see you reap the rewards of all your hard work.
Great adventure! and the 45 cab iss so badass 💪😃
Always love to see more 4x40 videos
Camping rock climbing and hangouts 🤙
Best way to stop the condensation is to wind yu window down like a man your in Queensland now 😆
Ripper content as always mate👌 I really like that mustard Ute in the background, it looks like a beast 😂
This is siiiick!
You guys should definitely do a collab! That would be soo cool!
Saw you on the Bruce coming back from the Cape 🥵
Good work boys an fantastic builds
Cheers Harry!
Nice one Richard, looks like a fantastic trip mate. Seeya Rob

Mckinnons cruisers are around the corner from me. Hell of a series, loving it so far, earned yourself a sub lol 🤘
Powerful
Awesome stuff, all those 40's at Caboolture looked cool, wishing now i didn't sell mine.
So cool seeing the 40 series culture is alive and kicking!

Barras rule
Black snorkel is better than chrome
💯
What a cliff hanger at the end there 😂
🙈
Hi 40 series are the best car
In the States the air compressor is in the engine compartment there's no way to stop it from what it's supposed to do which is sweat
Best channel on the tube. Love ya work. Just noticed your oil pressure is quite low. Is the haltech calibration correct? What grade oil are you running?
Thanks Mike!! Running 5-40w! I think the Haltech calibration is correct. It is much higher on startup (60-70) but as the oil gets hot it comes down which makes sense! Yeah I’m pretty sure the calibration is correct. It’s done 12,000k and plenty of WOT and engine seems to be all good. Do you know what it’s supposed to be?
@@DesignedandBuilt yeah i think you should try a thicker oil, penrite 20w60 will help. Especially on long hot trips. You should see round 50 on the oil pressure guage even when hot. At Idle should be around 30-40. I was actually shocked at how low your guage is reading at Highway speeds. How many km on the engine when you got it? 20w50 will work too. Depends how many km on the donk.
110k on the clock
@@DesignedandBuilt just did some research to back up my suggestions and my estimates for healthy oil pressure in the barra is about what you should see. I've got a few barra powered cars and all run 50+ oil pressure (including a 460rwkw car which gets flogged at the track and does long interstate trips - with stock pump gears and stock backing plate) when cruising. I recommend you investigate it as youll lunch the engine eventually with such low oil pressure. But start with a thicker grade oil especially with 110km on the donk. Cheers. Love the channel and your engineering expertise👍
Jesus is alive and well....hes drivin a land cruiser in a cutoff t shirt...🤓🤠😎
Beautiful tracks... Please give me one❤
You guys end up making it down via the creb or end up going coast way? I’m one of the fellas in the buggy’s you met at the fallen tree. Can I also say the video doesn’t do the 40 justice, very nice car mate.
Hey mate, nah we turned around on the creb and went the bloomfield track.
@@caltaylor coast road is still a fun drive. Looking forward to the next video
Hey, bro. I dig your rig man it's a beast 💪
What's the $$$ tag on that if you were to sell it.? If you were to do a total rebuild for a client like yours how much would it cost for the whole rebuild.?
Hey Alfred, so variable! Maybe $200k Aud for something like mine if you paid labor!
@@DesignedandBuilt I'll keep that in mind and probably flick you a tx when I come up with the cash I'll pay 200k for that it's work it keep the good work up awesome 👍
What sort of high mount winch do you have?
Warn high mount!
I noticed Coolant at 93 deg, what does it normally sit at?
Yeah great question Richard, 90-100 normally but it gets a little hot on the soft sand! Kinda locked into that same 75 series rad, hesitant to make something custom for reliability sake so might look into an external oil cooler.
@@DesignedandBuilt 90-100 is normal, if it's not boiling it's adequate you could upgrade to a copper brass radiator for more efficiency when aluminium one fails.
How much of this Land Cruiser are actual genuine Toyota Land Cruiser parts?
Not much to be honest! All cut and shut and replaced with stronger parts.
What engine did you put In???
A Barra mate
اهلا وكيف الحال؟ هل هذا الجيب اوتماتيكي التعشيق
