How Shauno got the Farm Truck ready for CAPE YORK! The Basic mods you need & what gear to take

[@danoruhdanuk2647]

11:15 Shauno and Graham gonna punch a few cones up the cape

[@Wolf4wdadventures.576]

Now this is more like it... Basic truck, supplies etc, love seeing old 4wd getting a new lease of life.. more of this pls !!!!!

[@danielbolger9009]

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

[@joemcgee2918]

Shauno needs an old CJ5 to go and play with this Ol Darlin

[@nathancurran612]

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.

[@joefloppytriangle]

check their new video it failed your on top of it 🤙

[@GoatOffroad]

Love that old truck! So cool! The new rigs are great but they are everywhere. I’ll take old school any day of the week! ❤️🐞

Sick of seeing 79's and chopped 200's, old school is where its at.

[@mikeycassey8507]

amen!

[@TheTim69]

Bloody oath💪

[@M17CH68]

I’m hearing ya! I just returned from the cape, did the OTT including the Gunshot drop in. 105 Cruiser, no lockers, no turbo. Slow, yes…..but heaps of fun.

[@Steve-cd4wo]

@@M17CH68 yeah im booked in to do the cape next july in my 96 hzj75 all stock.

@@Steve-cd4wo Great stuff Steve… You’ll eat it up brother! It’s a Toyota!!!! Happy trails.

[@chrisbuick5355]

Currently up the cape as well! We’ve been planning this for 2 years! 8 adults, 12 kids all from Tassie and up the cape for 3 weeks! Currently in Coen and start the OTT on Sunday or Monday. This is living!!!

[@michaelbednarz7835]

This has given me a lot in confidence in my upcoming trip. The Simpson desert and beyond in my 1985 BJ70 SWB Landcrusier

[@michaelbasha2027]

Mate one of the best videos I have seen. We all have seen the 79s and the 80s but doing the Cape in the ultimate 40 Series is something different and a breath of fresh air.. Can't wait for the rest mate ..

[@jessewarren2689]

Love seeing old truck getting it done

[@Oz4me_craig]

Brings back memories.. my work ute in Cape York was a 76 model 18R 4sp Hilux back in the early 80's .. that road was a lot more 'Challenging' in those days. Loved the 40 series and thought a 60 was a limo. Most 4bs are Princess models these days. Love your work guys, always brings a knowing smile👍

[@jaredbabic9928]

Imagine a trip with the 1000 buck lux, zero dollar zook and this!

[@angusc6014]

And Daryl

[@lukexploration1446]

That would be absolutely AMAZING!!!!

[@TasmanianHillBilly]

The fully serviced 10000 buck lux, the 1 with 5 zeros zook u mean?

It said in last Kimberly video next time in KZbin

[@danmcelroy6584]

Nice old yota! She’s a beauty! And one truck I can never find and always wanted. Good old and faithful!

[@EthosAtheos]

I went to the North Maine Woods last weekend. I'll be up there again this year. If my passport comes back in time I will head up to the Irving forest in Canada.

[@darrellcoy]

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.

[@MrThebrownie72]

Your "old farm truck" is still one of the best 4wd ever made and will go anywhere

[@felixw1142]

Great episode. We're going to the cape this year , it's been a long time coming. Brought the 80, 20years ago with this trip in mind. Can't wait to start travelling, very soon now.

[@brendanmaslen4325]

Heading to the Cape for 4 weeks in August. Taken the 200, a small Van, the Misso and our little 8month old fella along for I hope is one of plenty more trips ahead. CAN’T WAIT.

[@HAHA.GoodMeme]

that high lift jack mount point is so good. Love and respect from the USA

[@malcolmhay6668]

Shauno enjoyed every minute of that video. In years gone by I owned 2 FJ40's short wheel base. Your video bought back some of those memories. Unfortunately these days my eye sight is no good to have a driver's licence. so no more 4WD for me. But it's nice to see someone else that still enjoys the good old Toyotas.

[@alexvendettaarms4786]

Good ep but damn I was so hoping for Kimberley part 2 to kick back and watch this arvo

[@toyopatrestorations1588]

Its great to see another 47 back on the road getting used for what it was made for.

[@jcgarage7889]

You guys should get all the old budget vehicles out for a trip. Farm Truck, $0 Zook, $1000 Lux. That would be an entertaining clip.

[@NQwater]

Heading to the Cape,,,,, is a must.... we are going to go anywhere we can as soon as we get the beast back from getting a new motor....

[@mountainman9024]

As a HJ 47 owner it's nice to see it getting used as intended. Mines bog stock too. Only thing it's got is bull bar tray I fabricated in my work shop and a few good bash plate's as the transfer case hangs low on them old girls. 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.

[@anthonywoods3092]

Leaving for the cape next week. Almost a year ago a mate said to me “we’re going to the cape, you’re coming with us” Can’t wait.

[@bronco351mal]

Did Cape York in a 1980 G60 Patrol about the same year, standard everything 7.50 x 16 tyres gas fridge no recovery gear except bits of chain etc drove across the Jardine both ways, Gunshot Creek no problems, gas stove, tent, beer, gun and a Sheila . You're doing it a bit soft!! haha, great video!!

[@dawayneduffy3509]

Really good to see a realistic cool old truck that most people can relate to doing a cool trip. Great to see you going back to basics lads👍

[@andrefischer5025]

I bought a 1986 Unimog to do exactly the same, keep it simple and as basic as possible. Only mods it will get: a portable 12v battery (with redarc bcdc on the box), manual crane to get the 120kg spare wheel on/off the tray and maybe a bull bar with winch. 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! This dry season the plan is to do shorter trips around the NT and sort out the mechanical/electrical/pneumatic gremlins to make sure she’s ready for the Munja Track next season.

[@Dis_custard_shed]

Half way to cape york in the old Rangie now, leaving from Cairns in 2 days!

[@Swwa89]

I think people forget how far you can take a stock 4x4 with just a good set of tyres!!!! Friend and I were having this same discussion just the other week, the aftermarket accessibility and availability has almost made people forget how much a relatively standard vehicle can do!!!!! Those old cruisers are tough as nails and basic as hell so would be a bloody fun adventure!! Comfort......well some things have to be sacrificed when on a budget

[@francimbrogno8117]

Doing the cape in August this year with my wife towing a 22.5 caravan with my HSV sportscat Colorado can’t wait.

[@danielwhite3898]

My girlfriend and I are going to Lightning Ridge, Bourke, White Cliffs, Broken Hill, Silverton, SA Border Gate Roadhouse and a fair few places off the beaten track including the areas National Parks on the 25th! Doing about 4000kms in 10 days, to say that we are excited is an understatement! 😁😁😁

We left Cairns the day you went through, we were heading back to Rockhampton just done the cape and the bottom half of the OTT in our budget build Delica. Would do it again too.

Loving the 40 series. Looking forward to watching your Cape York episodes. 👍 My big trip this year will be to the Victorian High Country in November - my 1st time (finger's crossed the borders between NSW & VIC will be open).

[@Ziochopchop]

Leave on the 28th all by my lonesome (all my mates pulled out because they're married)... Cairns - Highbury - Normanton - Burketown - Gregory - Four Ways - Cloncurry - Mount Isa - Boulia - Birdsville - Poeppel Corner- then head for Mount Delany (Sunshine Coast) where my Sister lives so I can do the Glasshouse tracks again, then back to Cairns via coast road (boring bitumen) . About 7000km of 4x4 fun.

[@donotwantahandle1111]

I had a 40 series shorty with canvas roof. Not that pleasant driving in the cold or wet but the most fun vehicle I've had!

[@VoyagerOverland]

Something about going old school, much deeper connection to machine and the road, best type of overland experience in my book 👍 Next trip for me? Ruby Falls, Alberta, Canada.

Love the old 4x4s, building up a Suzuki sierra at the moment, will be ready for summer with a high country trip in January 2022. You've mentioned that you might get another Suzuki Sierra build on the show at some point. Would be great to see that!

Good on you, the way to do it, I just took my 1986 FJ62 called "Thirsty"(says it all) from Adelaide to Kuranda (N.Q) in some of the worst wet weather I've come across through the middle in the dirt or should I call that lake! Lol (Yes I did get permission to proceed), basic traveling by myself, just make sure as you say the thing is mechanically right have some spares and tools spare recovery gear, fuel+water/food and a swag, had no mechanical trouble though. UHF antenna broke off! I did travel with another bloke I came across through the worst of it. Hope you are going alright Dave.

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.

[@heathwellsNZ]

Yep, a (genuine!) hi-lift jack was my very first piece of recovery equipment... Great for lifting my old 2A Landie out of ruts... lift up and push off the jack out of the rut... and yes - this was my very first hand winch. Even when I got a (again, genuine) Tirfor winch the jack was the first go-to.
