CHEAP HILUX TO OFFROAD WEAPON for under $5000 | Budget Build 4WD Part 1

[@4WD247]

Ep 2 of the Budget Lux Build is going to the next level! We're going to start looking at more serious mods to get this beast further off-road, and make it more bush proof. We are filming in a couple of weeks time - tell us what mods you think we should do to it and we'll throw the best ideas on it next episode!

[@aryadaniswara1952]

A couple of rock sliders would be nice eh, just to give a peace of mind on the ol cab.

[@timothyorr2547]

T-Case reduction gearing for sure.

Enjoy Matt co-presenting on these episodes. Jocko more himself ,rather than trying to keep up with Sean and Graeme's humour. Makes for a nice change ,and, some great production value in my opinion. Well done lads.

[@danieladdamo9132]

I reckon jocko is a shit tonne better host than the other 2

[@pb8582]

@@danieladdamo9132 all of them are good mate but... Shaun is like the guy who wants that expensive gear and no one really can afford it... Graham is getting a bit too much like this all the flashing gear and stuff glad is till stay on 32 tho! Jokoo is the one who show you you don't need the expensive shit to get out there and I like that!!!

[@GoatOffroad]

Husband and daughter asleep! It’s 12:30 am in Seattle and I have to be up at 6:00am to get the day started. Saw a notification for this video.....now sitting in the garage next to my 4X4 watching it so I don’t wake up the house! What other girls out there are as nuts about wheeling as me?? That thing is a little beast! Can’t wait for the next episode! And I say lower gearing is a must. ❤️🐞

What a budget riiiiig. Good to see more Jocko, such enthusiasm haha

[@SHAKAZ_ADVENTURES]

Yeeewww the Polaris shirt!!!! Caught Jocko at one of their gigs in Sydney.

[@loko__mcd]

If you fully knew how into metal Jock is, you would not stop vomiting.

[@paulthorogood159]

Good to see jocko NOT trying to be super funny, so much more watchable when he sticks to his strengths of being super knowledgeable and capable. Good vid look forward to the next 👍

[@4WD247]

Thanks mate! - Jocko

Been waiting on the edge of my seat for this ep

Been on a limited budget since I came out of the womb...

Dunno if a 70 series troopy is "budget"..

[@markwilkinson2019]

Oh man, you guys sure make me smile. reminds me of my youth! I had an '81 with leaf springs and 33" way back in the day. enjoy the crap out of your channel and the pony build is my favorite so far... ah the good old days.

[@4WD247]

Thanks mate! - Jocko

[@9002alex]

So jocko, What your telling me is that you DONT need 100k and the entire superior catalogue to be capable off-road!? Oh my! Go the toyotas, best model hilux, especially the mighty tractor motor!

[@nickwilson2318]

Jock is a very likeable and agreeable person! Nice one Jock

[@shanevonharten3100]

Reduction gears will do wonders for the pony. BRAKES. Something almost everyone who lifts a lux (and many other vehicles) forgets to do, Adjust the load proportioning valve rod on the rear diff. Lengthening the rod opens the valve allowing more pressure to the breaks. Lifting the vehicle closes the valve and is why many luxes fail the rego break tests.

[@anthonyramdin1037]

I just love how you blokes are having so much fun!

[@BackyardQualified]

Pony looks great, loving the custom made side mirror

[@4WD247]

Yeah luckily that mod cost us nothing!

[@pb8582]

Jokoo is like the best thing that happened on 4wd action no flashing gear good driving and hell of a presenter!

[@4WD247]

Thanks mate! - Jocko

[@emanuelreyes2372]

Hi guys, i was owner a Hiace 95 2L and now i have a Hilux 2003 5L, and when a wake up and see the truck in garage i wake up with a smile. Greetings from Argentina! and good project

[@craigdavies8099]

Jocko; We need more torque. Me; Turbo Yoda! Jocko; Reduction gears. Me; oh well...

[@axehawke2339]

How boring

[@LittleStrongBoy]

Why not both?

[@jamesm729]

Jocko luv ya work. The work you are doing on the Hilux is realistic and has a strict budget, and doing it at home with standard tools, shows what can be done by us plebs.

[@brucerowland9989]

The little Luxy/pony that grew up and became a monster. What a very capable vehicle now. Always a first mod of tyres and lift which helps, but without those lockas it'd struggle. Keen to see whats next on the build

[@sidothy737]

its great to see two good mates wheeling and eatin pies

[@mattysmith5852]

honestly so happy youse got one of the best budget 4wds around and to be doing a build up serious on it is even better, being a massive hilux fan and jocko fan is also a bonus, id like to see the pony raptored and have 2' body lift thrown under her with a roof tray fitted up with terralume loghts, a new exhaust wouldnt go astray either, with the towbar issue should put on a custom rear bar with a swing away tyre carrier also, hope this gives you a few good ideas but so far loving the build up, keep up the good work!

[@kestlesjed8630]

Saw this on fb yesterday and was very keen

[@kyleq4389]

[@rampagedingo]

I love all these old school luxies you guys have, wonderful build there mates.

[@jarrod1687]

These two blokes work well together, great episode

[@mieliebaker6125]

This really puts a smile on my face. Awesome stuff

[@cdanielh128]

This is a great series. I loved this show for so long but it was just eye candy for me as I have a family and just a small amount of allowance to buy a truck and fit it out for overlanding. My idea was a budget gen 2 4runner and do what I can over the years. After seeing your lux build I am chewing at the bit and early next year is my chance to buy and get started. It's been great to see what mods I can get the most out of and get me to those rare spots I've been missing out on. Been dreaming through covid and am ready to get back outdoors and traveling again! Great series Jocko! Keep up the great work brother. Best Regards from Texas!

[@james94582]

Awesome content... And loving the budget build.. Especially giving some idea on the cost(s) each steps of the way... Next mod should be a NC state plate and sitting in my driveway!! But seriously.. Wish we had kept getting the straight axle lux's here in the states... Next mod(s) should be gearing and some sliders...

[@sendit3184]

Even the checklist is on a budget 😂... Love budget builds! 💪

[@haydenguy1379]

Theres just something about bogging back and forwards through a mudhole in an old hilux that always brings a smile to the face

[@gaminguniverse9000]

I'm so happy this has happened.... lost motivation for my ln106, saw this and was like, I should keep it.

[@judahoakroot2329]

Recovery points and rock sliders for the next mods.

[@bafman]

Budget mods, cool tracks and a closet mud puncher! This episode had it all. :)

Put a roof rack with a solar panel for the battery.And a light bar

Love the little luxxie, keen to see Matt work his magic on the welder and build some mint bar work!

I would love to see Matt come on more trips, planning to buy my own LN106 ASAP and these videos are a must!!!

[@tekawarobb]

Bloody awesome. Currently doing up my own ponylux, and stoked to see the mods I’ve done so far are in line with yours. Very interested to see what brake upgrades you do. Awesome stuff, lads

[@glenharrison123]

Budget offroading is super fun. My 98 V6 Pajero has factory lockers, a snorkel and 31 inch mud tyres (no winch) and so far it goes pretty much anywhere I want.

[@nickmcguire9584]

Wow so entertaining. Watching the evolution of this hilux is the best thing I’ve seen on this channel. Well done Jock and Matt!!

[@ozcars8574]

Going to be hell of a rig. Have to upgrade Daryl now !!

[@StuTheFarmer]

Think you might need some rock sliders and scrub bars the way you drive.... or maybe just a full external cage!

[@blakeread1958]

i reckon Matt should be on the 4wd24/7 team.. awesome stuff guys keep it up 👍🏼

[@cLiinKz]

Love that Matty is rocking the Polaris merch in the vids 🤘🏼

This old yota is my favorite truck of the channel.

[@CJFranciss]

This is awesome. The usual episodes good for the boys trip antics.. stuff like this is awesome for real world tech tips and wheeling. More please 🤙

[@patrioticpengu1n]

for the stuck towball, first try heating up the outside with a blowtorch for the metal to expand a bit, then attach it via a snatch strap to something sturdy. then send it!

[@peterwatson8295]

Definitely stoked for this series!

[@timothyjamieson1282]

Hi Jocko loving the Pony lux project. I think good next mods would be rock sliders to reduce panel damage and instead of changing diff gears, put low ratio transfer case gears in. This will retain road performance/noise/revs (such as it is on these!) and give a huge improvement in rock crawling. Oh yeah- and guard flares be good too! Lol

[@4WD247]

Glad to see we're on the same page mate! - Jocko

[@japorah]

So glad to see Jocko is now essentially a main presenter.

tow bar tip, make sure there is no tension bolts holding it, pull the pin, tie it to a tree or other stationary object and safely try and pull it off.

[@nicoprins8016]

Awesome built. Think next must be bumpers and rockslider!

[@moniqueprobert5588]

What a difference it makes with 2 inch lift and bigger tyers. Reduction gears would be another awesome mod.

[@ryannorvall2779]

Yes jocko mate. I bloody love this thing. What a weapon the pony lux is. And it looks so beefy with those new tyres and lift 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@aaronmoores749]

Really enjoyed this episode guys. Jocko is great on his own. great content, go team hilux!

[@thethepete731]

If you could get there on your 29"s or whatever they were, and Graham could hang with an IFS rig on 33s, I figure you can climb just about anything reasonable, and some stuff that isn't with a 'Lux twin locked on 33s. This build is perfect. Exactly how I like to build up a rig, and proof that you don't need all of the kit to have a more than capable rig.

[@hunterbrock2347]

I'm glad this little lux is getting more love. The tires were much needed. I anticipate seeing ring and pinion work the next time but I've been really curious for my owner budget 4wd building if a twin t case setup would maybe do more for less of the whole budget.

[@lukabarbir3605]

Can’t wait for the the other parts hood video 💪

Yeah boys. This is the good stuff. Budget builds and tough tracks. Lovin it.

hoped for a little skinny tyre action here (33x10.5R15 or 255/85R16) but still an awesome build! keep em coming! :)

[@stephenwilliamson4556]

Loved the video, don’t know if it was the camera angle, but the tyres of the pony lux did appear to hang outside of the guards a little. I’d be a bit worried about a defect notice getting slapped on with that, so I’d recommend a set of wheel flares to get those tyres nice and safe and keep ol’ PC Plod off your case. Keep it up, can’t wait to see what’s next.

With my sons Hilux tow bar, we balanced a Big Electric Jackhammer on a trolley jack. It still took a while, bit buy bit we got it. Make sure to use hearing protection. ( very loud ) Hope this helps.

Well done Jocko

[@evloftis4143]

cant wait to see what you do with the Little Pony next Jocko

[@olddirtypossum9808]

To get the tow ball off, why not lay an oil pan under in, then tape down a bunch of plastic around it. Spray it down with a lot of penetrating oil, then wrap the plastic around it, fill it some more. After it sits for a few days, and probably some extra applications you could remove the ball, hammer it a few more times, the hook it to an anchor and give it little stiff pulls with the throttle. Only a few feet yank. Or you could work a few pulleys and use your wince to tug it.

[@benbenmoshe2399]
