CHOPPED 200 LANDCRUISER CANOPY BUILD! What Shauno did differently this time - 200 Build Ep 2

[@outdoorfrenzy]

@ 1:26 has to be one of the best mullets I’ve seen in awhile!!

[@BinJuice1630]

The diesel and water tanks was an excellent idea and that gun safe is perfect! This build is crazy.

[@J_bish87]

The tank set ups is one of the cooler ideas I’ve seen in a build like this.

[@florianf5903]

I agree! However, I think it would have been safer to place the fuel tank between the chassis structure and the water tank behind the head board. (Right now it’s the other way around.) Therefore, in case of a frontal collision the chance that the fuel tank gets penetrated/crushed by moving cargo on the tray is much lower. (Environmental concerns and fire risk) I think that would be more important then putting the lighter fluid (Diesel) higher than the heavier one (water) for a better center of gravity position. (Maybe that was the original criteria for that decision)

[@J_bish87]

@@florianf5903 that would have to be one hell of a hit to have that tank pierced. I feel like you would have other problems haha. Non the less it’s a cool use of extra storage.

[@danielcutler9768]

Same tank set up is cool as. Practical way of using spare space

[@simonmitsch3537]

@@florianf5903 don’t forget it’s diesel, so it won’t ignite with naked flame

[@Mark_Bridges]

Also, if the water tank was installed between the cab and the tray then the tank would be high enough to not need a pump to access water - just turn a tap on the side of the tank.

[@Ward1706]

The Jimny would probably run rings around the boys; once set up for proper touring. The Tip Truck, however...

[@thethepete731]

Careful, the boys used the words '"4wd" and "action" in the same sentence. Wouldn't want these guys getting all legal on them.

[@Ward1706]

Incoming take down notice to MCM. Unless they realise the MCM boys have a bigger fan base. And _don’t_ cram down product placement on each alternate word.

[@heathermonk9975]

As I'm an Aussie living in New Zealand I would put a Fridge right across the back then fill the rest with 375 ml cans of Jim Beam. As I can only get 330 ml cans here. Love ya show. Just watching it keeps me from being home sick.

[@anuanuruddha631]

At 2:10 you can see the upper shock mount plate is welded to the side /top of the chassis cross-tube. If you ever run the air bags at low pressures, the shock can bottom out and will rip the mounting plate from the cross member tube and also from the main chassis frame. It happened to my 3rd gen 4runner/Prado 90 series.

[@jacobgillett8552]

[@HammerRocks]

Ditto. Plus I think blacking everything is so overrated.

[@BinJuice1630]

With your canopy; What I did for my trailer was a pump to a standard kitchen sink, the sink swings out and I have a pull out drawer/table under it with a hole cut out to fit the Kings pop out sink. so I basically have a compact kitchen sink at all times but don't lose space by having the bench inside the canopy.

[@jordankalleske5352]

Ive got to say (not joking at all) That is the best chopped 200 series ive ever seen, the silver and black go insanely well awesome truck

[@rino6711]

Nice Shauno the 200 looks sick congrats on the 600k subs and have a happy new year for anyone who is reading this.!

[@akshayddesai]

Roof racks on the canopy is a good idea along with fuel holders ,spare wheel and emergency kit on the back (like Graham).

[@andrewhurstcars]

That’s very light for a removable full canopy with separate tray on a 200. Look at Offroad Images’ Mighty 79 if you want canopy ideas, that’s one of the best.

As much as I'd love to see these guy's do a episode on my beautiful hometown of Esperance and it's amazing beaches, camping and fishing. I'd hate it to draw more wankers to the area that don't respect the place and trash it.

Canopy setup Driver side opposite the dog area, bushman 100litre upright fridge. That will allow you to hide your batteries/ all 12 volt behind it and out of the way while you mount all your 12v accessories on the wall to the left of it. That’s my 2 cents the rest is on you Shauno 🤙🤙

Whatever you do in the canopy, keep it light. Might be a good opportunity to showcase light-weight gear options. Like that the truck isn’t too cluttered with accessories - yet. 😂 What do you call it? Now Daryl, he’s likeable but will he make it up the hill? We’re never sure. Sooty and the 30, self explanatory. The 200? Surely that truck is an Arnold.

[@johnnumbat9782]

This will get you where Troopies dare to travel (smart centre of gravity/weight metrics👍🏻👀) - I’m starting my 2010 Hilux 1600 mm canopy kit out after just making across the border from VIC to SA to pick up the canopy in Laverton. In terms of kit out Shauno I’m doing mine incrementally with a few shorts trips in SA to see what works for me - Redarc (thanks to your review), Engel, Lithium battery system with solar, gravity-fed water tank, GME comms/two aerials etc. This should then ensure a good setup for the first big touring WA/NT trek 2021 - anyway my five cents worth - John in SA

[@whyhavealyfers1699]

I would run a dual fridge setup with slide-out drawers under your fridges like graham has for extra storage/kitchen space. A fold-out tv for the family trips. Jesus you have so much space I don't know what else you would really need haha. awesome build Shauno you have come so far I bought my patrol because of you guys. She's only a little 3 litre piece of shit with many issues I love it though, but I hope to ls1 swap it one day and build a 6bt Cummins family tourer series 4 later on but you have come so far over the years, well done she looks a treat mate.

The canopy needs one thing in particular... A PIE oven!

[@musomatic2690]

for the canopy leave the dog box side open or with a small set of draws to put bits and pieces in. And possibly store camping chairs or a swag on that side. On the other side have a drop down fridge slide with a dometic fridge as well as more draws for kitchen appliances(still leave room up top of the draw for a weber) and a little travel buddy this is at least what i would do

[@nickfohl6110]

If you are looking for ideas - how about a section that is designed as a replaceable module depending on the trip for end of day refreshments that are locale specific?. Specifically thinking a slide in/slide out module. Small pony beer keg with tap. Slide out pizza oven setup. Slide in /slide out food processor/mixer for tropical umbrella drinks for the tropics - not sure of all the different combinations you could go for - but the commonalities would be slide system, electric hookups, propane hookup capability and something that you can store easily back in the shed? found the channel in the last few weeks and been enjoying it from the USA. A lot of your country is similar to where I learned to wheel - the desert east of San Diego (Anza Borrego Desert State Park) - great stuff, keep up the content! (and hopes that Mason, your youngest fan is doing well with his treatment. Lots of Legends stepped up with funds - glad I was able to chip in too!)

Since you like cooking, you should put a proper pull out pantry covered - dedicated place to put all your spices, coffee, sugar etc. I think a thin pull out design would go well. And instead of putting the usual chest style fridge/freezer on a drop slide, put an upright fridge/freezer instead.
