You should do an actual budget build that most of us views could afford.
I'd say no more than 30k for the entire build car included. No sponsors no extreme DIY.. just a down to earth budget build that we can relate and aspire to :)
That’s the plan to begin with! Until I can no longer help myself! Got some plans for down the track but atm just keeping it budget friendly the k20 has taken all my money 🤣
Where's the fun in that
They did and took it to cape
@@robcarroll2403those cars were better than their ones they tour around in
A 20k build should be a breeze. I wouldn’t of spent more than 6k on my 4Runner including buying it.
All a 60 really needs for off-roading is a decent 2 inch lift, some good 33's and lockers. They go just about anywhere. Have had 5 of them now. Drove my 61 around Australia last year without a worry the whole trip. Epic cars really.
Agreed! I’m so impressed with it even stock on 32s!
Yes they are
Absolutely, mine was the daily for 550k been all over Oz, never let me and the family down. Even though I have had and driven a lot of different brands and models since, nothing make me say, I bloody love that thing and it's never for sale .. full resto in the plan and the kids have called dibs, when I'm gone😮
That's all any 4wd needs really. Clearance, lockers, traction.
Hey lads, I'm selling my house, buying a car and travelling.... hit me up we can do another budget build 😂
Same
Wow, that is mint! Original old-school genuine decal down the side and a couple of surf boards on the top and she’s ready ❤😎
I ran a 60 series for about 13 years one of my favourites, now I have the 79 series and I love it
this is awesome you look absolutely Stoked at getting this, look forward to watching the build develop when you get to it
Super keen for this build 👌🏻
Love the 60! But please don't coil convert it! Maybe do parabolics but the leafs all round give it character!
Leafs are iconic 🙌
So looking forward to this build Lads 😎
Keen to see what's to come!
What a stunner!! Now you're talking!!
The 60...What a find! Nice one fellas. Cheers
Just some more enjoyable content there fellas. Cheers for what you do!
As always content, editing, sound track on point. Best 4wd channel getting around.
Much appreciated! Thanks mate 🤩
looking forward to the build lads
Nice 60 Series TJ and Mac. I've got an 83 model 60 Series with original 217,000km in north Queensland.
Mad rig guys. I can sense a shortened 80 chassis being slipped under it.
🤩
Hell yes! Been toying the idea of getting a 60 for a while!
Love the buy. Had a 82 model back in 2000. 4 speeds and Diesel. Went everywhere. The centre overhead console is aftermarket but period correct. Tint the windows, chuck a rear locker in it. Then send it. 😂🎉
2:36 cant underappreciate that lawn in the background
Those cylinder mower stripes👌🏻
😅 that bloke sure puts in the hours ! Lawns bloody mint hey
Keep the old school look shes a good buy. This down the beach with the boards on top👍
Great video guys!
Yes lads! Love a 60 series, can't wait to see the build!
The 1VD HQ literally killed your neighbors lawn that you were only saying was so good earlier in the vid!
😂 potentially
would love to see the 60 keep the leaves and see how much flex it can get on them and after the build, it would be sick if you guys did a across Australia trip in it.
Can’t beat an old 60 series!! Leaf springs FTW😂 love you’re work lads 🤙🏻
Thanks mate
I had a 60 2h. Braught it defected on the side of the road. Had 820 thou on the clock and not a panel was without rust. I stripped it, bogged it, primed it, sold it to a mate who painted it and put it back together then my dad braught it and owned it for a few years, got it up to 890 thousand ks and sold it again to another mate and is still running to this day. Toyota tough baby😏
Haha bloody beautiful!
The build we always wanted!!
Old school for the win luv ya work
Roof console was an aftermarket deal, but a great thing. There's a reason you can still get them now.
Need to see a turbo petrol 4x4 build boys (maybe a 4.8?)
I bought a 1985 FJ70 SWB in Taliban tan back in about 2005 for 4 grand. No rust, she was beautiful - wish I didn’t sell her!
Anyway, I was driving down the highway one night and found the hand throttle… not being able to see what it was or what it did, I fucked around and twisted it as far as it would go… not really realising the accelerator pedal was slowly winding down lower and lower… as my exit came up I took my foot off the accelerator and panicked when the car didn’t slow even a bit! It took about 4 exits for me to figure out which way to unwind and then finally turn off my hand throttle. Super scary but hilarious once I knew I was safe!
Haha that’s hectic! I’d shit myself 😂
@@macprestonI nearly did!
This is awesome! I have a stock FJ60. Looking forward to inspo
So hectic you's are doing a budget build on my dream car the 60, always wanted one. can't wait for future episodes, yew!
I bought a 60 2 years ago and have been chipping away at it to get it on the road. You guys have motivated to keep at it
Get stuck in ! Haha
Love the videos guys keep up the great work
Thanks John !
So keen can't wait to see your plans for Flex
Aw man this is fvckin awesome. I'm so pumped lads, and little bit jelly. 🎉
Us too!
Should put drop shackles and 2-2.5 inch lift shocks the cheapest thing
What a beauty, my dream wagon haha
These things are so much fun. Lots of mods available. Aussie icon.
Kiwi icon.
That's a top notch build for its day. My votes for the engine sitting in the shed would be 1vd, LS or old school chev
thats a lovely 60 series
Undertray winch mount with rope guides through to the front of chassis would be ideal on the LN
Yeah few people have said the same 😎 might be the go
YES BOYS ANOTHER SLAPPER 🤘 the sexlux and the saucy 60 😉 makes me regret selling my old bush rig 😅
Haha 😂 never sell the bush rig
Holley Snyper EFI kit. Basic suspension,
Lockers, lockers possibly draws or something. Retro finish. Chrome wheels, chrome bumpers. Old school cool.
Bumpers are inbound 🤩
About time a sick 60 series build babbbyyyy😂
the "33" 's look great on the lux. 60 is mint, just put lockers in it and leave the rest, gas included.
Yeah go on. Love the 60
Nice buy, sweet 60
Omgggggggggggggggg
This is gonna be a good one! I love it !!!!
Literally what my dad drove around in 😂 12HT version is what I learned to drive in
Some kmc wheel and 35 shud look sick on her macca🍻
Damn Boys! You never cease to surprise. What a clean LC, didn't think such an example still existed anywhere. One of the few vehicles we got in Canada. The LN is flexy sick! Yeeeew
Yep such an iconic wagon ! Thanks mate !
Love the old rig shes going to look preeety .
The tyres on the 60 are a retread (they call them a re mould ) they do a side wall as well they are where bad for blowing out
Lop the top off that front bar and try to push that rear bar a little tighter with some trimming. You'll need the rear 1/4 protection unless you plan on lifting it to the sky. Keep it Dad wagon spec inside with retro mods. Ie. Rear platforn and engel (old school green if you can find one on mktplc) lockers and 33s maybe a 1hz + turbo down the road if it lags behind the LN.
A thing of beauty
This is such a dad wagon! Perfect base for maca to show some of his secret mods (double bed in the ranger/invisible tub rack type mods) 🤙🏼
want to see more of that HQ diesel v8, now we talking, do love a good 308 but this one is interesting.
Dual cab extended 70cm with rear doors that open onto tray or camper tilt tent,2,8 deisel conversion,and coil front end ,with a simple cheap coil kit conversion
As a Nissan man through and through that’s bloody tidy! Great pickup!
Thanks mate! I also love the Nissans but I’ve wanted one of these for a long time! Hard to find one that’s not a rust bucket!
80 series chassis underneath and 1hdft auto and twin locked
Now we're talking!
Gday, what a purchase, that’s a bloody rare find in that condition, you’d say it’s the perfect canvas mate, shit hot, cheers
Welcome to the 60 family Mac. This video right here is proof that random people will come up to you and tell you how cool your 60 is (the guy on the bike), how they used to own one xx years ago and they miss their old 60, how reliable they are, how getting rid of their 60 was the biggest mistake that they ever made, etc etc. I don't know if this happens with other 4WD's, but it's happens to me all time with my 60.
I was once driving through outback SA in the middle of nowhere when a police car drove past in the opposite direction. A few minutes later, I looked in my rearview mirror to see the police car with their lights flashing to pull me over. I stopped and asked if everything was alright to which he replied "yeah, it's all good, I just wanted to check your 60 out"
🤣
Haha spot on ! And yep the LN106 hiluxs seem to have the same effect 😂
Great buy Lad's what a weapon.
I'd throw a platform with mattress in the back and an ARB Slide out kitchen under the bed accompanied by a Draw fridge beside it.. Neat and Tidy.
😉😉😁😁
Ur talking my language! Haven’t seen the arb drawers and fridges but currently weighing up options!
@@macpreston I saw the ARB pull-out kitchen and loved it, Pulls out flips over, Great design macca, I'd love one on top of my Black Widow Draw system. And the Draw fridge is a great low profile unit.. But 80ltr upright fridge is a Game changer 😉 😉
@@macpreston czcams.com/video/BeLuntG5Ql0/video.html
what a wicked wagon should be a cool build. can you do a video on That HQ thats a cool build and one of a kind
Heck yeah fellas, always a good watch, been waiting to have a good look at this big girl. I feel a Q meets the LN & 60 on the cards!! 🥵
Haha thanks ! Maybe !
Love the old school 4bs, Front locka fix up the crap rear lsd and put some high end leaf springs and shocks in it. Mint interior leave it alone
Nice score, it pretty hard to find a 60 without rust. I picked up a petrol 60 Sahara for my daughter, the bottom is pretty rust free but the roof needs lots of attention. I did notice your was puffing a little grey smoke so you might be doing an engine swap sooner than later
Haha yeah she’s got 400k dunno how much it has to go 😅
Look I'm getting parabolic springs there awesome springs mate and 33's
nothing beats the old gold 60 series
I think Maca, you got a great deal for what you paid for👍👍
Mint truck guys. I use to have a old fj60 with the 2f and loved it.
Went so much better than the diesel as long as you can afford the fuel bill😂😂
Weld the rear diff and go bash around for a few months TJ's LN.
Take it off the road once the K truck is done and put it on coils with some Dana 30's (cheap as around Vic with arb lockers (sub1k for both with lockers). You already have 2 big power 4b's, save the engine build coin and put it into the suspension.
True true! I do have. Spare motor that needs a home tho!
i was on instagram while watching the video and by hazard i found the black hilux climbing almost vertically! what a weapon.
Haha yep ! That videos on CZcams in a couple of weeks 😊
They came in 2h and 12hts Mac, 4lt straight 6 diesel, 12ht being the factory turbo variant.
ive recently been thinking about buying one of these and doing it up, I take this video as a sign to go get one now haha
Treat urself I recon! 😂
@@macpreston haha guess I don't have a choice now
60 rep baby WOOOOOO 🤘🍻
You should do a Center mount winch under the tub and run the cable though a tube to the front has to be a straght shot though though or you’ll need rollers
Nice 60 looking forward to this series
I had an 84 G 2h in grand pha spec and still regret selling it
Just rear locked 🔒 and some camping gear and mods, keep it simple 👌 👍
That's such a clean 60, it'd be a shame to do TOO much to it. Keep it leafs but hit up Terrain Tamer for some Parabolic springs, and do it up like Dan's Patrol from Aussie Arvo, keeping the vintage look with a few modern touches.
If you were going to engine swap it, an era-appropriate Chevy V8 would sound sweet.
Agreed defs gonna keap it simple for a little while!
Let's take a moment and appreciate the phenomenal lawn on that st!
I know right 😅
Run a single motor highmount under passenger side of the tub on the 106.
Run winchline forward along chassis rail.
Airfree spool and run a 24v setup in the front of the tub.
That sounds wild! Defs an option!
@macpreston , twin motor 24v highmounts are wild, single on 24v is perfect for a hilux.
Go watch some winch truck racing and you will see
Yes I be glued my been of the road 3 years now has Barra turbo just fired up a week ago set of lockers tune set snow chains go any where won’t get there quick but get there bought some class to the channel 😂
😅
awww hell yeah..... does this mean the budget build series is making a comeback?
my dads gotta imported 61 series hes been daily driving it since i was 3 and im 19 now got the 12ht in it
Best and easiest HJ60 mod. HJ62 rearview mirror swap.
Any chance we could see a rig run down on the hq ? That thing is sick ! Love the channel guys keep it up
Thanks Steve ! Maybe !
hell yea
Should do a glasshouse trip in it stock
Quick tyre rotation so they face the right way 👌
I wonder if that’s why they’re so noisy 😂
@@macpreston 😉😂😂
UP THE 60!😮💨💪🏼
Can’t beat a old 60 series 😮💨
Agreed 🤩
Needs a 12ht in it
A 60 series landcruiser with a vdj conversion has been done.
Yeah it's called a 76 isn't it?
The ln has come up a treat
So Great 🤩
from the looks of things, all you need is a bit of height (suspension) and lockers and it should be good to go.
If you're planning on any crossings or long distance, maybe show us some catch can and fuel filter action :p
Looks great gents, well done.
