[@BogDustForBreakfast]

originally i thought the canopy was too tall . now ive seen it with a rack on the roof it looks heaps good . i love the build so far . cant wait to see it kitted out

[@reecechristian6185]

Still sits out a fair way from the cab at the sides. I'm sure if he's planning on lots of km in it it could have been more aerodynamic so it doesn't chew as much fuel 🤷‍♂️

[@jordandean8876]

Agreed. Was an immediate eye sore in the mits alloy section of video. Too tall and certainly too wide where the patrol starts to taper in. Roof rack made it bit better but it's still terrible. Great canopy, just a shame it doesn't suit the vehicle.

[@harrywalker5836]

what do you mean too tall,. because your 4x4rs here have no room inside, all your crap goes on the roof, ive seen them 2 ft above the roof. i, fit everything inside & can sleep, inside. no trailer, hate trailers.. 12.5 lt 100, 700nm. weighs 4t, empty.. &,,2 diffs.. not ifs junk...

[@MadmanJnr]

@@harrywalker5836 when it had no roof rack the canopy was 2-3 inches above the roof line. But now it has the roof rack it all lines up height wise

Nice rig mate. Welcome to the Y62 family. Remember that it's only been through efforts of businesses like Dash Offroad, OnTrack 4x4 and a handful of others that have brought Y62 accessories and mods to the market when others have ignored the platform. Please support them.

[@kanewatson5029]

Love the rig, ripper effort by all involved. My only issue is the bulkiness/ width of the top 2/3 of the canopy. I feel like it should have tapered in a bit more to match the body of the cab. Still a super quality build nonetheless. Good work, enjoy. Can’t wait to see what you do with it 🤙🏼

[@bencameron1313]

The Y62 you have Graham is gorgeous but was a little disappointed when you didn’t start it and give us a listen to the sound it puts out. I am a little jelly that’s for sure. Can’t wait to see the rest of the build as it progresses.

Holy Cow Graham, as you said it, it is an absolute weapon, Independent suspension at the back is novel but no doubt it is heavy duty, it does help to put the rear diff at a bit higher clearance, thats awesome, DMW cage for rear diff is awesome too!!

[@rcscaler78]

Nice rig graham. The lads at dmw really appear to go the extra mile on the finishing touches, the quality of their work really shines through. Your 1st trip obviously has to be fairly local just in case but you should do a solo coast to coast run on your ecomuse channel once youve got the y62 decked out & dialled in. Keen to see this weapon on future videos with shaunos 200. On a side note, how is the rebuild of shorty going? Havent seen anything on that build for a couple of years now.

[@jeffreymercado4615]

[@snickerss2995]

G'day Graham. I like your 62. You've set yourself up perfectly for what you like doing. For me, if I had it, I'd be fitting out the canopy, fitting the winch, but then I'd fit a roof top tent. A side note. I've been subscribed to 4wd action/ 4wd 24/7 since 2007 when I bought my first 4wd. Had to sell it in 2018 and have been aching to get another. Picked up my Mazda BT50 of the show room floor this afternoon. I'm just as excited as yourself now I can go off-road again.

[@heftymerv]

"you had me at hello..." holly cow that is awesome. LOVE the side tool boxes, such a great idea and so well produced. What would I do first, getting that awning on is pretty much all I would do to it. Doesn't look like anything else needs doing, maybe some tint on the windows. The only thing I picked up on was the cover for the rear drawer could be one that when you removed it you can hitch it over the drawer and use it as an extra bench for tools. Otherwise, its good to go. When I win the lotto guys, I am next in line to do this same build.

A snorkel is a must, catch can and pre filter for insurance, take a look at diff breathers then look into some lighting options.

Awesome. The best bit was you getting the toyota emblem. As a proud owner of a new [to me] 2020 Nissan Frontier, I feel your pain. I'm about to go out on a trip with 3 other guys...all with Toyotas. I guess the first thing you should get sorted is the in-canopy electrical system. So then you can run lights, the fridge, and a travel oven like Jocko just put in the Ponylux. Then you're ready to go. Yuu can bring a portable stove for cooking, food/drink in the cooler, chuck in your swag and clothes bag and you're off to the bush. You really only need power, food, and shelter for camping. Everything else is just superfluous. That becomes 'glamping' as they call it here in the USA. OH, well, maybe throw in some simple recovery gear, but if you keep the solo trip simple and safe, you could even forego that most likely.

WOW….LOVE the rig Graham. I’ve been a Patrol guy for years also and I am stoked that someone has taken what has been ridden off as a soft reader and built what could truly be the ultimate tourer.

I know they would need to a custom fab to link in with the custom sliders so will the boys at DMW be building those for you also? Can’t wait to see this thing in anger!

[@alhabtoormotors4221]

Who would call it a softroader? It's competing against the big Americans (Yukons, Denalis, Suburbans etc) and leaves them in the dust, and goes toe to toe with the Land Cruiser. It's as good as it gets in this class, if not the best.

Graham I would recommend something that it would make a huge difference in the performance of the Y62 and that is cheap and also would save you some money which is the Y62 Rear Locker Override Kit. Y62s have a factory rear locker but it won’t work in High Range and in Low Range above 10km it will disengage, this kit will allow you to do this without having to buy an air locker or an electronic one also being a much cheaper solution

[@tekawarobb]

That’s a blimmen sweet rig Graham. Interested to know what the expected total weight of the big girl will end up being, say for a two week touring trip? I guess why I’m asking is that these newer rigs just seem to be getting more and more monstrous, meaning more wear and tear, more power, more fuel, more damage to trails etc. Trust me, I get the desire and appeal. But really interested to hear from others too about what they think a sweet spot is for a week-long touring rig that’s somewhere in between the Pony-lux (no frills style) and monster rigs like the Y62 and 200. Regardless, your excitement is infectious and that’s so awesome - that’s what’s it’s about hey?! Cheers and enjoy the big girl!

[@pavlicious1734]

Love the new ride graham! DMW and Mits have killed it for the build. Couple of eye for detail criticisms I would change.. DMW- the silver rivets that hold the carpet down in the back of the cab would look better maybe black. Just makes it a bit more seamless. Mits- the switch for the tap. Just looks a bit outdated and may be prone to breaking if going over a big rock step maybe?. If I were them (mind you the work is exceptional and I’d go a mits canopy any day of the week) I’d maybe recess the switch a bit to protect it a bit. Other than those 2 items the vehicle is a total weapon!
