[@task82]

Jocko is the 4WD24-7 Presenter for the people. So refreshing seeing things that the majority of the viewers can actually afford to do!!

[@nathang7453]

I love the pony lux I hope they never retire it because honestly it’s the most realistic build people can afford

[@nzoutdoors2850]

straight up love the rig what a beast

[@outbacknomad9939]

Agreed the ln106 are the simple an reliable iv owned a 4 over the years an kick myself for selling it .

[@bbgames908]

I agree Nathan

[@andyf518]

100%, we can all relate to a build like this.

[@1993Revhead]

Jocko is the one of the greatest presenters on this channel.

[@andrewheffernan5240]

finally a cheap cost effective build that most people can afford keep going with it, maybe couple of 12v lights

[@kermiirani3809]

The Pony is my favourite vehicle out of your fleet. It always surprises me how capable it is for a budget. I love seeing it keep up with the big boys

[@samnapier4594]

This is some of the best content you guys produce. Just great diy mods and ideas anyone can have a crack at. Looking forward to more of this content.

[@shutthegate8232]

Yep-solutely to that.

[@benraftery6603]

I love a budget build. Not everyone has the money for all the flashiest gear. And it just goes to show ya can still get out there and have a good time on the cheap. Love ya work Jocko. Keep it up

[@ImSpecialized369]

You know of it's gonna be a good day, when you get a 4wd247 upload at morning

[@lelouchlamperouge4273]

Morning!? It's the evening for me!

[@cockerfamilyadventures1854]

And on a Tuesday not a Thursday haha

[@jonnewton5929]

What are little beast the pony lux has turned into. Great work again Jocko 👏

[@osiris571983]

For future reference Jocko, when doing a vertical weld, start at the bottom and work your way up, not top down. It is much easier to control your weld pool working bottom up :)

[@maxkelly9480]

great work jocko next upgrade you should do is a turbo motor will make it have more power

[@tom.wilsonbmx]

Jock, you are a legend, how did you pretty much build an entire canopy in less than 24 hrs, unbelievable.

[@ashleymilne1660]

I reckon a rear tire and jerry can holder on a swing arm would make it look like a rig

[@kabluwi]

I could watch Jock work on and talk about the Pony for hours tbh, favourite rig on the channel

[@andreiuliyanov9786]

I did the same thing with the water tank for a beach trip and it worked a treat!! Hot tip, if you want a hot shower boil some water in your kettle and pour it into the tank just before your shower ;)

[@lincolnredmond8650]

maybe just some lights around the back for camp. easy setup :)

[@robda7195]

The cable for ur pump needs to run through the fitting on the cap so you can swap to another Jerry can if needed other than that 👍

[@skullian12]

Great idea

[@raelock8145]

Straight panels and a fresh coat of raptor

[@Lsjeffery97]

Love he didn’t move his fridge or tyre while welding on the frame and oven bracket! Nice water storage and pump

[@bogged2theeyeballs695]

Nice work Jocko. I think you need an off-road trailer with a hot tub in it to tow behind the Pony. Hello ladies........

[@jcjaramillomo]

I loved the sound of the tail gate when closing ... "like a glove" ... specially after all the abuse

[@chrisfisher3219]

Hey, Jacko, how about fixing some of those panels, even though the Pony is a bit of a rock crawler, be good to see it straight and maybe a raptor coating

[@chrisfisher3219]

Jocko, stupid auto correct

[@murraystapleton7903]

DO NOT raptor coat in my opinion, biggest mistake I've ever made on my HJ60 was raptor coating it. Just my 2c worth.

[@warrenpnigel9070]

@@murraystapleton7903 why is that mate? Curious as I was considering it

[@murraystapleton7903]

@@warrenpnigel9070 I did all the preparation correctly as the instructions stated after I welded in my roof repairs, decided to respray the whole vehicle while I was at it as opposed to just the roof (if you saw the paint you’d understand). By far the biggest issue is that within the first year after painting the raptor began to just flake and chip off from touching it or scratching the panel edges, as well as it just flaking off in flat areas after scratches occurred. The textured finish I don’t mind as I used the adjustable gun (quite a fine finish) but the sheen levels of the finished paint are all over the place, it makes the panels look wavy, not straight, and just cheap and crap. But in its defence, in its time it has saved me from multiple trees. If I had the option to redo it I’d definitely just do a cheap acrylic spray through a gun instead. Now I’m having to do the job twice…. Also it’s horrible to clean, not that I clean my truck anyway, but the water blaster doesn’t even look at getting rid of dirt or mud on it and you can’t scrub it off easily. Just my experience but everyone I know who has raptored their 60 has regretted it….hope this helps mate.

[@kabluwi]

@@murraystapleton7903 it's overdone too and it's ugly

[@andrewmaina5449]

I love pony very much,'cause it's capable of tackling all the tracks,I think it's time you get serious with it by doing away with that trunk and put the tray trunk .

[@soundadventure]

Good work leaving the fridge in while you weld Jocko!

[@smittyk7810]

This was a great show Jocko. The tips and ideas were interesting. Thanks

[@8626John]

New drinking game: every time Jocko says "Kickass," take a drink. Seriously, great video.

[@clivemurray8728]

Very interesting shed you've got there Jock. Great Video, keep up the good work on this style of show.

[@blakeseeger3783]

More epic content I’m watching this straight away it sounds RAD, keep up the effort boys

[@willbronchinetti8883]

These are my favorite videos lately love watching you build that thing jock

[@craigjacobson4247]

$6k worth of kickass draw on my birthday! Yeah boi almost as good as an episode with jocko🤙🏽

[@Metalman666xx]

Whatever you do don't put a drifta awning on a Cahill dmax it will go missing in Tasmania

[@D4NS80]

More great grassroots quality content mate, thanks Jocko. You nearly singed your ginga goatie on that grinder bro.

[@trendliners9658]

Keep mods coming. Cheap diy and practical.

[@ko_kreations4487]

if you get a spare wheel holder off a 79 land cruiser that mounts into the loadbin it fits the hilux rims aswell to mount the spare wheel in a better setup then a ratchet strap

[@psy06]

Jocko is the only one i can watch from this mob.

[@aarondombroski8211]

Loving this style of instructional video from Jocko. 💯

[@GlobalTriathlonNetwork]

Did you take the battery off the Ute when wielding? What about wielding on newer vehicles? Will it break anything?

[@adamfulton4119]

Hey Jocko, where’d you get the 12v water pump from mate ?

[@chipoplouss]

Have to say I love these episodes you do jocko, love budget mods

[@joshshipp4735]

man I cracked up when he went "oh bitta pressure on the dog"

[@jacklacy471]

Was that Drifta awning the one Graham lost in tassie? Love the work mate

[@fatmanoverlanding]

Nice one. I have a very similar setup with my water tank (jerry can). Love these budget build series. 👍

[@baileyranapia9003]

Nice mods Jocko love them that pony is a weapon

[@braidensymonds737]

Vertical down when no ones around. 🤣👌🏻 love how they haven't called in A bunch of fabricators and other trades. Just A few mates giving It A go on A budget. Love it

[@adrianragatz8731]

I reckon an easy one is to take the plastic off the inside of the tailgate and replace with a piece of plywood to make some bench space. Cheap as chips, durable and easy to do

[@MD-np2me]

Nice work, roof top tent and 12v lights

[@chrishiggins1811]

The pony deserves these mods and more, can't wait to see the next uploads mate

[@boomer_bob6493]

I'm glad you ended up keeping the old girl, just a few basic mods (albeit mostly out of my price range) and she just keeps on putting a smile on your dial.

[@drewby9672]

Great video. Love these extra vids you are doing lately. Can you’s do a full rust prevention on the under body, chassis etc. it’s hard to find good videos in aus with this. Even small touch ups on the paint work. Not every car has raptor Might be another good one

[@breezycorpsegaming9959]

I love how he welds with only 1 glove but then grinds with 2 gloves 😂 safety first hey jocko

[@juststuffwithwolfe4482]

I’m happy to see the pony is still on the channel

[@kgositheophilusbakwena3632]

Jock gives the pony a hell of a lot of love. Shaun give Darryl more love more attention mate

[@carl3831]

Nice video Jocko, entered the comp and the kickass products look good and seem to have some good thought put into the design. My only problem, and i have no issues subscribing to companies newsletters and such if they are considerate about the volumes, i have had 5 emails from them in 2 days. It is honestly over kill and i think is the quickest way to get customers to unsubscribe from receiving marketing material. The companies that send emails sparingly are the ones i stay subscribed to.

[@J.G1997]

Bitta pressure on the dog 😂😂

[@hobs4868]

I’m glad Jocko’s shed is as messy as mine, because it annoys me how tidy and organised Shauns looks. 😊

[@alexgeier7326]

Never a truer word was spoken

[@aa999xyz]

some kind of lighting under the canopy and area around it?

[@Intenslfled]

Can we get a parts list for the water jug!

[@Kojoe93]

agreed

[@tspeegle007]

Cmon Jocko, always weld uphill and push the puddle. Heat goes up, weld bottom up!

[@edwardsutherland5409]

Some lights under the canopy the light outside work lights under the shade

[@shutthegate8232]

great episode, smashed in a bunch of neat additions. Well played.

[@mitchellkenley9724]

Spare wheel holder on the rear bar

[@markphillips6998]

This rig is gonna end up like the top gear UK one did..... In several, loosely attached pieces and on a plinth 😂 great work Jocko, you can achieve the same thing with the water tank if you've got an old windscreen washer pump off an old car or truck or something, for the more..... Resourceful blokes among us

[@TomyTucker]

New flares and some TLC on the bodywork would make her look unreal!

[@joshsestro9211]

Would like to know where the 12v pump was bought? Can’t find anything cheaper then $50 on eBay

[@kobussmorenburg387]

if u weld from the bottom up on verticals it builds up a thicker weld n will be stronger

[@harrypatt7708]

I love jockos shes, wood pillars & beams, looks sick!

[@heathwellsNZ]

Next mod... now that you have a canopy... some camp lighting I reckon!

[@andrewhoggett8148]

thats a cool set up maybe a roof top tent next

[@AllroundSwizzy]

Man that giveaway is insane. Everything i'm missing to confidently go on my roadtrip this summer and the winner gets drawn on my birthday. Isn't that too good to be true? Good luck everyone

[@lordmugglestone]

how hot does that oven get? you mounted it under where your MA Traxes go, will it get hot enough to melt the bottom of the one closest to the roof top?

[@tomoliver1996]

should have a look into OnTap products portable showers, they are pretty much identical to what you have done and would be great for people who dont have their head around electrical that just want a plug'n'play shower.

[@bogdan3978]

12volt LED multi colour lights with a remote, red is a little softer on the eyes etc... i think it should be compulsory in every canopy no matter how cheap!!!

[@Ozzierob]

Great video Jocko. I feel sorry for your fridge and spare tyre haha. If anyone is doing this. Please use a wet wool blanket or wet canvas drop sheet to protect your gear from hot sparks ;).

[@ChrisDevious]

Just honest to goodness awesome content! Well done Jocko! Wholesome post!

[@Wolf4wdadventures.576]

Love them mod's Jocko... Great ideas and simple to replicate !!

[@stevenweatherall1413]

Need to crack on and get it done . Graham and Shauno will need a decent support vehicle when they're mincing about in their Y62 and 200 series 🤣

[@ronz6214]

Great stuff as always Jocko! 👍🏾

[@stephenlatimer1428]

i like over engineering, it doesnt fall apart. it just works.

[@jaymillard2765]

Is the pump a diaphragm pump or do you need to turn it on for pressure?

[@AZsliding]

Dang where do you get a $25 in-line pump? 😮

[@stuartkcalvin]

13:05 food grade hose is Blue.

[@salmac6666]

Nice work, can we get an update on total cost for the Pony now considering it was originally a budget build

[@dartmoordave]

Compared to Shauno's budget, this is peanuts. But its rapidly becoming expensive.

[@matthewmirabello4298]

Spent a while thinking… so much already done the the pony but would be cool to see a video on how to do Incab winch controls

[@jepdonaldson8419]

Because of them I love 4 weel driving

[@MrSmerb]

Love it mate budget mods for a budget rig but she needs sone panel work bad makes the patrol look to nice lol

[@usbeingrandom]

“Probably stop spraying water in shed”. Insert flooding

[@Tb48life]

Have u got the link for the water pump that’s a great idea and cheap 👍

[@Jimmy_Saf]

LED lights inside the canopy + raptor coating

[@ExtremKeks]

It's time Darrell gets some love!

[@chargerzrsik]

hey buddy why didnt you buy the aussie version of the 12v oven?

[@ivanolsen8596]

Almost a fatal error there Jocko, all that grinding, cutting and welding with the fridge in the back. Could have caused the beer to get warm. Excellent ideas there, looking forward to the next episode!!

[@reecev1511]

Jocko what's what fitting though the lid ?

[@jameshutt57]

Would love to see some new mud guards

[@dustytechnician8424]

So keen for this episode

[@mikezog1030]

Install a pull out kitchen Jocko!

[@benradcliffe2717]

Another sick video befor bed💯💯

[@liampoor9699]

Good too see Jocko didn't do a Scotto!

[@ToObSter91]

Jocko is the shitbox wizard! Going to find the Canadian kickass power box equivalent and love the water pump mod. Great episode, keep it up!!!

[@deadpool3636]

Well done Jocko.. its better than the super tourers that Patriot build....

[@amarokadventuresuk9458]

you need sum spot lights in the canape
