  • Shauno runs through everything he did to get the old farm truck 47 series Land Cruiser ready for an epic trip up to Cape York!
    Basic must have mods like the 12v system from the original Dirty 30, a quality UHF from GME, durable Goodyear tyres and refreshed suspension from Fulcrum Suspensions.
    Have a watch and tell us - how far off a trip up the cape are you?!

      it's great how Shauno has a good stable of rigs to mix it up. Just need to see a bit more the others. I get how it makes sense to just keep beating on Sooty hard like it owes ya money and keep the other ones in good nic tho

    Learnt to drive in rig like this, 1F, 1H and 2H's, no brakes, no lights, PTO winch, hours spent in low range carting timber or sand on some remote cattle stations in qld.
    My dad still drives a HJ75 with nearly 1M km on the clock.
    But the old GQ TD42 with coils all round still will drive places I have to winch the HJ
    Only mod i would recommend to this farm truck rig is a new aftermarket internally regulated 90A alternator. The stock unit was only 40A and the old 2stage external regulator was prone to failure. Have fun enjoy the road trip.

    I plan to take my new to me 2013 F250 gasser to Land Between The Lakes, TN in the US of A this year. Nothing crazy but there is an offroad park that allows camping in some pretty secluded areas for the placement. I have an ATV that rolled on top of me and luckily I wasn't hurt too bad, but I was with a few buddys that helped me down from the "mountain" we were scaling. Shortly after we got to a safer spot, the ATV lost all power under load. I was towed to the staging area but soon learned that a few people that were not wearing helmets and that were riding double on ATVs (against the rules of the park) were seriously injured on the same track I tipped it on and had medics on the way to evacuate them. My saviors ended up going back and helping out as well. I went home to lick some wounds and take care of the kiddo that was in one of the other vehicles that helped me out. SAFETY, should be your first concern. THEN all of the other crap.

I plan on some locker's for it next and the worn out 2H is getting replaced with a new 12HT I've just rebuilt. Then just a good major service and it will live another 600,000+km of hard work again.

    The same day I got number plates on it, the first trip began! Canberra to Darwin, not knowing how big the tank is, no fuel gauge. Speedo and odometer gave up within the 1st hour, gearbox died 500km before getting home. LOVED EVERY SECOND OF THIS 7 DAY TRIP!

    The best 'Mod" I had on my 81" Trooper was a Clamp Fan plugged into the cig lighter and clapped on the dash and yeah cup holders made of pile would even hold a box of tissues. Windows up, flaps closed gave it enough air pressure to keep the dust out.

    As a 3 year apprentice nearly 20 years ago I had a hj47 Ute 2h factory power steering. We’ll long story short couldn’t stop the thing from overheating replaced everything to do with the cooling system over about 6 months nothing fixed it till one day I took the massive hella bull lights of the bull bar the thing never over heated again.

    Something to be said it "simple", just makes things more memorable. Look forward to the trip vids. I'd lacquer that hood tho', keep the patena.
