Wow a lot of negative Nancy’s commenting. Nobody said you have to buy or like the 4 cylinder 79 series. These guys put out these video’s for peoples interest, I own a modified 2006 TD42TI Patrol, I have no intention of buying a seventy series but I still enjoy watching PTC .

[@ProTouringTV]

Cheers thanks mate and appreciate the comment. Yeah we’ve been coping it for the last 6 months lol - no one’s forcing anyone to buy one this is just how it is

[@andrewmawby2296]

I also own a 1999 TD42 and I have ordered a 76 series 2.8. Can’t wait to own both

[@ProTouringTV]

@@andrewmawby2296you’ll love it mate honestly great car

[@Chucky-l1p]

I have 1998 td42 and got the new 2.8 79 ordered also. Looking forward to the change

[@ProTouringTV]

@@Chucky-l1p you’ll enjoy it mate that’s for sure

[@brenthoran1472]

What a weapon mate! Id be happy with a 4 cylinder.

[@theacreelife]

Love it! Great looking build.

[@ProTouringTV]

Glad you like it

[@JCYT]

The new front end is growing on me! Nice build boys and that sounds like an epic trip. Why not the V8 though? That's a big van.

[@ProTouringTV]

Hey mate we can’t order the V8’s anymore , the 4 cylinder is what we’ve got to play with moving forward. Having said that we are stoked with the overal performance of the 4

[@davidvoss1508]

By comparison, my new V8 Troopy comes in at 2.68T and gets 16L / 100 with an 18ft van on the back, and is currently showing 10.4 L/100 overall since new.

[@vjsingh725]

Nice video bloke My lc 79 arrives in 3 weeks keen to mod it up cobber got the v8

[@MrCalebReed]

How good mate exciting!! Give the team a bell mate if you need anything ..

[@BordertotheShore]

Nice 💯🇦🇺

[@ProTouringTV]

Thanks ✌

[@art-is-lazy4509]

With diesel coming under so much environmental pressure, and likely to bring about its rapid decline, why didn't Toyota fit the 3.3 v6 diesel. If not to utilize it while they can. That's a lot of load for that 2.8 4cyl to deal with. Looking fwd to the update on how it went?

[@jbjb3372]

Why did you increase the size of the tyres? I would have thought that the loss of some power in order to drive the big tyres and wheels would be a real downside. Especially given the enormous van that you are towing. Also whenever I am doing tracks around outback stations the cheese cutter tyres are certainly better than wide tyres which tend to push against the desert sands and when deflated still have a really long footprint.

[@ProTouringTV]

Hey mate we feel that tyre size is a great all rounder for performance in all types of terrains , soft sand , mud and larger holes. The torque converter makes light weight of the tyres and we’ve also tuned them up plus the additional lock up kit throws heaps of power to the ground. Very happy with the performance so far

[@craigtomkinson2837]

Cool Ep and 4wd. Lovely set up I saw this 4wd at McGowans.

[@angeloudy]

Is it really necessary to have two latches for the toolbox. Would one be strong enough and simpler?

[@ProTouringTV]

One would definitely be strong enough but to get a sure seal around the whole surface , 2 locks provide way more clamping pressure and less stress on the alloy face 👍

[@lukebryce5097]

Where did you buy the Emu export from?

[@ProTouringTV]

lol I wanna know the same thing

[@kingdingeling3975]

What brand flares are used?

[@ProTouringTV]

Hey mate these are genuine Toyota front flares

[@SpearoMate]

Nice rig boys, so what's the GCM cob?

[@ProTouringTV]

Cheers mate still at 7010 currently

[@SpearoMate]

@@ProTouringTV awesome mate I'm actually down sizing from a 2500 ram.

[@ProTouringTV]

@@SpearoMate Have you driven the 4cyl yet?

[@SpearoMate]

@@ProTouringTV no I haven’t yet but I have driven a prado so I’m guessing it would be the same in a sense?

[@ProTouringTV]

@@SpearoMate Yeah similar drivetrain feel etc but totally different in the way of drive ability and on road comfort etc. Very rugged but point and shoot attitude. You will like it

[@ARCHIES_79_LC]

How big is the lift?

[@ProTouringTV]

Hey mate - it's a 2" OME lift with Parabolics

[@ARCHIES_79_LC]

@@ProTouringTV Awesome mate 👍 Does it wander on the road or have you upgraded the radius arms instead of castor correction bushes.

[@ProTouringTV]

@@ARCHIES_79_LC No not really mate - the larger Utes on 4" and 35's can get a little wander up but this still on 295's and 2" of lift its quite respectable. Still stock radius arms mate with the castor bushes. It would only benefit from having JMACX radius arms though but this is still fine.

[@ARCHIES_79_LC]

@@ProTouringTV Cheers mate, appreciate you taking the time to reply 👍

[@ProTouringTV]

@@ARCHIES_79_LC No worries at all .

4cyl shitbox is worth 40k tops, towing a van that size will stuff that little toy in 3 years

Ur a 4cylinder shit box 😂

Cant buy a V8 anyway

Bahahaha yuppies all so desperate for the most brand new toy to blow money on! I tell you that you’ll be hating for self for buying that

[@ProTouringTV]

Keeping up with the times mate - cards we’ve all been dealt by Toyota so showcasing how they are and what they can do. So far so good very impressed by it. Itching to see what’s next .. Tundra and new Hilux 🤘🤘

[@Andrew-hu1bx]

@@ProTouringTV Cards we’ve all been dealt, doesn’t mean you have to buy it 🤣 Look at all the kooks driving around in a brand new 79 or brand new 300 series, it is laughable that soo sooo many Aussies can’t help them selves but go into more debt to have the “newest toy to impress there friends” absolutely hilarious. The music stops at some point very soon, if you don’t know what I’m talking about just give it 6 months

[@ProTouringTV]

@@Andrew-hu1bx Mate unsure what industry you work in - we targeted a certain demographic for the majority if our clients. We aren't here 'selling it' ... simply explaining what we've done and why and how they're responding to the mods. GVM and towing kits are in approval processes as well. We answer the phone on a daily basis to people who have done well or continue to do well and want to travel but don't have the time to piece the puzzle together and try our best to advise on what vehicle would suit their needs the best.

[@hurelllucieer6225]

Upgrade the brake booster. Always been one of the best mods to any 70 series for years.

[@ProTouringTV]

Hey mate - it's definitely been something we've done on every other demo but interestingly enough, this 4 cylinder being a lighter build and with the auto seems quite expectable for now. We'll probably make the hydro booster upgrade in a few months time though.

[@raybourne5781]

Having done that sort of trip…. You don’t really need that 2nd spare, even the gib is like a highway these days so you’ll be able to get a tyre or repaired if required… We never even got a flat ourselves.
