I've been using the term "strong Aussie boy" way to much this past week 😁

[@TJANDMAC]

Haha how good is it 😂 I’m using it flat out

[@thatoldgu]

Where’s it actually from aha

[@TJANDMAC]

Sometimes in Bali or Thailand the ladies in the street shops refer to you as a BIG strong ozzie boiiiyyy haha@@thatoldgu

[@a1117577]

Same. 😂

[@4x4ZOOK]

Haha every time I see my dogs I been saying "phoar G'day guys where you come from" it's the small simple things 👌

[@geofftuck7347]

Always a good Wednesday when you have TJ on the tools and Mac breaking out the old welding thongs!! How good is it building your own mods!! Ripper episode as always lads 🤙🏻

[@TJANDMAC]

Haha thanks Geoff ! Yeah bit on in this episode 😂

[@chrisledwith3216]

One of the few channels you can like the video before watching and know it's quality

[@TJANDMAC]

Haha thanks so much Chris !

[@NateH-qd7bm]

Pwwoahh TJ and MAC never fail to deliver, cheers 🍻

[@TJANDMAC]

Thanks Nate !

[@chrissteer3733]

I did the same thing to the windows in my truck. Worked a treat and lasted years.

[@fatchunk3678]

Mark at Autobahn is an absolute legend. Dude can build anything.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, that’s a brilliant idea for the window shades, driving a sowing machine takes a bit of skill and you nailed it Macca, the rooftop suits the LN nicely, top job mate, cheers

[@TJANDMAC]

Thanks MATTY ! Yeah who would of thought Macca could drive the sewing machine like a 5 speed 2J drift car 😂

[@day_for_it]

the old invisible tub rack was one of my favorite eps! Glad you mac keeps trying to push the limits of skill and tried the tube bender, The solar screens look mint, and for 5% of the cost and no wait. Killer ep strong aussie bois

[@TJANDMAC]

Haha thanks mate ! More stong Ozzie episodes to come 😂

[@brocksmith4040]

awesome vid guys, I bought one of the first new shape outback tourer roof top tents when they were running their business out of the garage of their house and i cant recommend these guys enough, they are easy to talk to and great guys with a great product i love seeing how far they have come

[@TJANDMAC]

That is awesome to hear mate ! Yeah pretty good product for sure 😎

[@MattysWorkshop]

Right on time

[@TJANDMAC]

Of course 😜

[@OffroadTouringLife]

Great ep! I ran exactly the same sun shades around my GU. It was a super cheap option! Velcro sticky dots also work well to hold them in place.

[@TJANDMAC]

Thanks for the tips! Yeah handy mod for sure !

[@TafgarHal]

Good job guys🎉

[@davidcopeland8050]

Looks absolutely mint tj, the 60 is looking fresh

[@TJANDMAC]

Thanks David !

[@bluebirdchipseater]

I made one of these a couple years back after your first video of it. Has worked so mint. 🎉

[@TJANDMAC]

That is awesome! Thought it was about time i sorted out the little hilux haha 😜

[@jasonmcnamara1745]

Looks bloody mint. Think I need one for my nav

[@TJANDMAC]

Get it done 💪

[@DenisColdham]

Great to see all the spots mate! Keep it up. Great to see the north tracks too, it’s been a while since I went there, definitely one to do!

[@TJANDMAC]

Thanks, will do Dennis !

[@richardatkin8526]

Another great ep you big, strong Aussie benders! ❤😂

[@TJANDMAC]

😂 thanks Richard !

[@SUPERTRUCKER166]

Easy upgrade for the press is to replace the bottle jack with an air operated one, which kinchrome make conveniently enough. Speeds it up considerably and is just as accurate

[@TJANDMAC]

Haha true ! Macca needs to get into that for sure

[@shaddonaghue]

Awesome guys, that tube bender looks mint 🤠👌👌. Tub rack come up awesome.

[@TJANDMAC]

Yeah pretty happy with it ! So far so good

[@archerrussell3022]

loving this build🥵

[@TJANDMAC]

Thanks mate 🙌

[@howesyaadventures5542]

Looks like you can take over my job sewing mate, I’ll hand my resignation in now haha😂

[@TJANDMAC]

😂 Macca secret home economics episode 😅

[@chalkss]

Good ep boys! Best LN in qld. I'd love to see some welder settings throughout as your changing materials and that.

[@TJANDMAC]

Yeah might get Macca to run through it one day ! However he is definitely no professional

[@vikingbulk8531]

Lads.... you made legionnaire hats!! Not taking credit for it, but did mention it a couple years back haha. Keep up the good work gents.

[@TJANDMAC]

Legend! Yeah we have them on both stores for about 3 years now 🤟

[@troyscott9002]

Hi fellas, when using the speed worx/ jd2 benders, is best to bend up a 90 or 180 degree template piece that you keep, it has the start of die mark on it, then do your layout on the ground of whatever shape you need then lay your template bend on it and line it up with the angle that you are chasing then mark were the start of die is on your layout then you can transfer it on your pipe, then use this technique to work around your shape 👍. Keep up the great content fellas, lovin the C10 build 💪

[@TJANDMAC]

Oh that’s great advice ! Thanks Troy will do mate 🙌

[@MJMAC]

Those el cheapo sun shades work well. I did the exact same thing in my canopy and they've been going strong for 7 odd years now

[@TJANDMAC]

Haha true ! Yeah works a treat doesn’t it !

[@joshgrima247]

Awesome video guys!!! Can we get a review of the outback tourer rooftop tent in a couple months???

[@TJANDMAC]

Sure can ! I might do a complete uncut setup once I know all the little tricks to see how long it takes

[@danielstrutton1269]

Got to be the nicest Hilux in OZ just my opinion I love it building my 12yr old son his first car as a copy of this build 💪 cheers for ideas lad🍻

[@TJANDMAC]

Thanks Daniel ! Yeah you really can’t beat the old style Hiluxs !!🙌

[@sebby69808]

I saw u in the ln106 on the weekend with it all done up. Holy she looks alot better in person, i was at the lights and u pulled up

[@TJANDMAC]

Oh true ! Yeah she’s starting to come together now 😎 great fun !

[@gregbishop610]

The Marty McFly truck looking good

[@TJANDMAC]

Haha thanks mate 😎

[@nerdskiii]

Someone needs to mass produce Invisy Tub Racks! I need one for my Xtra Cab!

[@TJANDMAC]

I know right 😜 get onto it ! Haha

[@charlielangley2694]

Just built one very similar, but 2 frames and a set of hinges and gas struts to be able to lift it open to get into the tub still

[@TJANDMAC]

Ahhh that’s bloody fancy mate ! Yeah not a bad idea 😎

[@user-zv9lx8be4o]

Just a heads up on the home made solar shades, they will melt to your window in temps over 40! I learnt the hard way, that’s why the proper ones cost more.

[@TJANDMAC]

Ahhh true! Thanks for the tip !

[@barron204]

Like other people here, I have also done the sunshade blinds in the vehicles. Works well.

[@TJANDMAC]

Great mod !

[@enduro-parts-aus]

Sewing machine part was a good laf 😂

[@TJANDMAC]

Knows his way around the sewing machine haha

[@thealterator]

speaking of sun shades, having it on the OUTSIDE of the windscreen feels like the sun isn't heating up the glass and air pocket between the glass and shade, resulting in a cooler cab. This is just my experience. Wondering if putting the sunshield FLUSH on the side panel glass would decrease the temps more.

[@TJANDMAC]

Potentially 🤔 but prob blow off pretty easy 😆

[@JRCadventures]

Yeah I love my invisible tub rack! SOLID

[@TJANDMAC]

Best mod 🙌

[@JamieWilliams-j9z]

Great vidoe as always. Looked at the demo here in perth but 95kgs was a bit to heavy as had a tub rack on a next gen raptor to do it but then fitted a maxliner canopy so cant easy fit the tent when needed.

[@TJANDMAC]

Ahhh true ! Yeah seems to work well on the little hilux 🤩

[@U-POLAustraliaNZ]

Welding like a pro!

[@queensalnd]

Good Vibes😊

[@TJANDMAC]

Always! Thanks mate 🙌

[@Blake-zc4qb]

The ln106 need a tub liner and a tub cover like the Landcruiser and possibly a clean up like get rid of the dints and a respray

[@TJANDMAC]

Yep ! Definitely on the cards down the track 🤩

[@tobyguy42]

Bloody oath lads. Another banger

[@TJANDMAC]

Thanks !🙏

[@lilheno2520]

I watch every single upload I was just wondering if you planning on doing a trip down to the Mid North Coast in NSW sometime soon

[@TJANDMAC]

Actually we are hoping to 🤔 just not sure when haha

[@ableknight6637]

Epic dose 🪡🧮🕶️

[@TJANDMAC]

Goes hard 🤩

[@whiteknight1213]

How good does that make me feel knowing the cruiser isn’t dinted anymore

[@TJANDMAC]

😂 don’t get ya hopes up , Macca is still the primary driver 😆

[@whiteknight1213]

Hahahah 😂

[@justinkatipa9577]

Needs a front end coil conversion 👀

[@MakingMoneyyy857]

[@TJANDMAC]

I think he’d agree with ya 😜

[@kamrensingh-il6ge]

When ya gonna put the new engine in it mate

[@TJANDMAC]

[@willb4799]

I'm really hating this 60 series budget build. The urge to buy a 60 has never been so high

[@TJANDMAC]

Haha 😝 good stuff !

[@WaitWhat99]

Might have to get myself a tent…

[@TJANDMAC]

Not bad , not bad at all !

[@FelixRichardson]

[@ynwa0958]

[@GlobalTriathlonNetwork]

I wanted to see the magnetic curtain in action

[@TJANDMAC]

Next episode 😎

[@MatthewPrimavera-jg9cg]

I just wanna know why macca has a sewing machine and hasn't made himself some bikinis yet 😂😂

[@TJANDMAC]

Very good question 😂

[@Teeqy]

Lessgo

[@gcrew4564]

How many of those shades did u actually need to do the job

[@TJANDMAC]

He bought 5 all up I believe

[@samwalker259]

How much have you spent on Ln106?

[@TJANDMAC]

Fair bit , basically entire drive train has been replaced 😅 over $20k

[@lensoflewis]

Is there anything Macca can't do?!

[@TJANDMAC]

Save money 😆

[@finntessler8418]

[@TJANDMAC]
