[@stevesallaussieadventures5648]

Reuben and Shauno need to do a episode on 4wd24/7 two farm trucks together 👌

The fake patina is superbly done lads, hats off (from an automotive painter and panel beater of 27 years)

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thanks Mark🍻

[@bobbyb9371]

Love to see you take it out with Shaun (farm truck) and Graham (the old Nissan) when all the stars align. I really enjoyed this clip. Cheers, BobbyB.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

That would be epic, right?! Thanks Bobby! 🍻

[@peterkunka2694]

Very nice! I like the stock trucks going exploring and camping because I do it here in Arizona with my Jeep. This is really lining up nicely to go with Shauno's farm truck, Graham's old Nissan, and Jocko's little pony. I'm sure you all already have plans and schedules in the works ;) Cheers! Pete - KI7LIL

[@arturobayangos1223]

wonderful ! great . simplicity .

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@adrianthomas6066]

It’s good to see everyone bring back these old girls and getting them back on the road.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thanks Adrian!🍻

[@toyopatrestorations1588]

Great to see another 47 back on the road. Love the tray, looks like it was made in 1982 great job.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thanks Toyopat! 🍻

[@MalikRabichon]

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thanks for watching Hakim!

Good to see a classic getting some mechanical love , Could you tell me what brand the front wheel cylinders are and where sourced from please ? I just want to mention that it would be a sensible idea to remove the engine oil cooler housing from the side of engine and inspect the housings aluminum casting for corrosion . In neglected cooling systems they corrode and pin hole causing coolant loss resulting in engine overheat , permanent damage . The core / welch plugs in cylinder head and engine block , originals are carbon steel and rust from behind pin hole leakage . I suggest replace all . carbon steel heater pipes and heater taps rust under hoses , another source of engine coolant loss . im sure you have come across it before . preventative maintenance is cheaper in the long run and keeps reliability, if work is performed correctly . Cheap insurance is fit a low coolant warning alarm system ,a sensor probe in top radiator tank , if coolant leaks alarm in cabin ( fit a audiable buzzer ) will let you know . ive seen these save several engines from expensive damage . Good to see you made a point about replacing brake hydraulics and i see new flexible brake hoses . if the four wheel drum brake system is all in good condition and adjusted well , you can lock up all wheels with not much effort , put you through the windscreen . so many people bag drum brakes out there , possibly because they have driven a cruiser with neglected drums not working well , pulling to one side or having to pump the pedal to try stop . another topic is the fan clutch , id say its original , internal wear causes them to engage later than they should meaning engine will be at higher temp before fan starts to engage to bring temp down , also seal and bearings will be stuffed . Aisin aftermarket fan clutch FCT-058 available from exedy or cooldrive is original equipment . aisin water pump also available . These old cruisers in their original un modified form are as honest as the day is long . Tough Stuff For The Rough Stuff !

[@Fitzy6722]

Gotta say mate, what an awesome team you have!👍🏽👍🏽

[@georgebishop4757]

let's hope we see this and shaunos farmtruck at coffs, makes me want to leave the UK plus the weather all year round bricklaying

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

🍻

[@raybulmer5707]

There's going to be a little 'tray' envy with the 4wd247 mob. 😁👍

[@steventoshack618]

Great rebuild.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thank you @steventoshack618

[@rollyb5061]

awesome restore , my first cruiser was a FJ55, now i'm showing my age

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

It's just a number Rolly :) Thanks legend!

[@mervonmcnab6135]

As an ex radiator repairer it would have been better getting the radiator a proper clean out. It might not hurt fitting a radiator filter sock in the top inlet pipe to catch some of the rust particles from the old engine block.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thanks for the info, Mervon! :)

[@eddiepaul7107]

I used to put mine upside down to clean it and a stocking on top pipe to stop crap when it's back together..done it like that after crossing qld to wa in the 70 no problem

[@craigtomkinson2837]

Lovely Ep Love the old girls, why did you not replace all the Hoses especially the short bypass one on the the water pump, and all the heater hoses, and you fitted a heavy steel tray why, I had 1982 alloy tray Hj47 did 300, 000ks in it on the farm and all over the top end.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

This will be an ongoing project. Thanks for watching Craig! 🍻

[@craigtomkinson2837]

@@dirtymuddyweekends Ok sorry, love your work

[@mullerandre95]

You and Shaun should do a trip to the Kimberley in your HJ47's. You'll be cooler though, as he doesn't have AC. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

🍻😁

[@ubonrat8653]

Great video Ruebens and shout out for spelling 'Auisse' in the title

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Typo error sorry 🍻

[@itsfromlawrence]

bring it down to the Victorian High country in August with 80 other 40's.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

🍻

[@SolidSnake-]

no canopy and chassis extention? dang

[@francoisleroux8981]

What new tyres did you put on?

[@coreydallara8778]

Just wondering why you went with drum brakes in the front? I assumed a later model like that would have been discs to start with but I guess different markets got different things (we got discs in 76 in the states).

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

🍻

[@Sausagedoglife]

Wow it really came up great. I don't suppose you want to sell that ally tray that came off it?

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

🍻

[@joeynonajustine1]

I thought it was Shauno's farm truck for a second!

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Wah Kuwi mobile apek tenan mas, mobil lelaki banget gitu Lo.

[@MegaHilly13]

why do number plates look new

[@joffbar]

You guys should have stopped and seen Paul Cox of Fab Rats. He is also in Utah about an hour from Matt's place. He is finish building an FJ45. Very nice Rock Crawler. Check out FAB RATS on KZbin.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thanks for watching Jethro!🙏

[@Janky2912]

Kinda cool living in a dry climate as a mechanic, nothing makes it that long where I live, not worth repairing let alone rebuilding, nothing comes apart, that truck would be needing a new frame for the second time by now. Than again I'd rather import a project than spend my time in an arid area, not to mention you have to drive on the wrong side of the road.

[@isaachall3664]

hey reuben, have you ever chopped a Mitsubishi challenger?

[@maxratzlaff8333]

Why would u bother

[@stevenperry4632]

Some people think outside the square and are not happy with a chopped Toyota / Nissan which is what makes things a little interesting

[@Bigsoot7393]

Just buy a triton

[@عمرحوية]

I am from Algeria

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thanks for watching!

[@mattwalker6501]

Ruben can you restore mine next please

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

🍻

[@TheBibleWins]

More explaining and talking over the video would be good. More narration and this would be an even better video.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thanks for the tip, Nicholas! 🍻

[@hanjin7864]

❤

[@tonyrgnash]

You gotta build it better than Shauno's farm truck.

[@rileysudholz996]

[@edwardsutherland5409]

Farmtruck with shauno farmtruck go a camping

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

🍻

[@applss]

Hopefully Shauno doesn't make you flip this one

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

😂

[@AlwaysSearching..]

Baffles me when these shows never fully detail the engine bay before working on it, makes life so much easier

[@eddiepaul7107]

Get your daughter out to help after all you would have helped her with her little weapon she has

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Absolutely!

[@robertward553]

Ummm, an Auisse icon is a Japanese Toyota, interesting.

[@davidrose2382]

Alloy tray over steel any day,heavy slower more feul ,why not gal steel

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

They both have their pros and cons but yeah Alloy trays are getting very popular lately. Thanks for watching, David!
