Kaito's knowledge is amazing..... He certainly knows his stuff. Now I've got a headache!

Hey Tyler, thanks for showing Kaito's Lux... It's a beast. It's not crazy overboard in mods $$$ but it's built tough for its purpose... Love it 🙂👍

The car has alot of character and you could argue more presence than a modified 79. unique build hopefully there will be a rig run down #3 in the future . Cheers for the vid was well worth the listen.

Incredible breakdown, confident Kaito, well spoken, detailed rundown of engine etc. Excellent Project, open and honest. 12/10 well done Brother, cannot give you enough likes. Cheers

Absolute weapon! If my N70 ends up 1/4 as good as this I will be happy!

Great piece thanks! We have more than several coppers in our extended family, they're all focussed on first impressions - PAT: pass the attitude test; FAT: fail the attitude test and they'll go by the book or throw it at you. If you get really tetchy and abusive, they'll cut your seatbelt and haul you out the window - fun facts.

Great rig! When you were talking about the cost. All lot of people will say , man that’s a lot of money. It’s not when it is what your passion is and an enjoyment to you. They don’t get it. To me I’m the same way , money isn’t a concern when it’s your passion. I do all the things I can do myself to save some money.

[@ledermanrobert]

That is one capable rig! Impressive.

[@marksmith3631]

Been following your channel for a while now, and have to say, one of your best. Kaito's done a great job, and know's what he's on about. Good to see he's having a go at some of the stuff himself Ford should be watching your channel, they got caught in the roof rack trap. Doing a recall/offering $$$ in return

[@rollyb5061]

Absolutely epic build video. Well done Kaito on such a detailed and interesting build. You can really see the passion. I must say though when talking about no other dual cab ute options when choosing to convert you could of just gone an LN106. Best 4wd ever made 😊. Too old for your liking perhaps.

[@kaitosutton]

Ln's are great! but back when i bought the car i didnt know where i was heading, i got accepted for a 20k loan and this showed up at 19 so i went for it. turbo diesel manual dual cab was all i knew about it haha.

[@danhopkinson2811]

after seeing this lad on the 4wd 24/7 episodes he always seemed to look a bit nervous and in need of directions in the driving seat. bit of a frightened expression on his face at times as if he was new to offroading. after watching this i've changed my mind, the guy seriously knows his stuff and has really done some research. absolutely awesome build with heaps of thought gone into it. look forward to seeing the 4 link rear. one question though, here in England we have alot of people with defenders and Discoverys built with winch challenge parts which are easy to get from suppliers. there's heaps of suspension kits that give insane flex, but one thing people do alot is use the tubular wings, tray backs and full tied in external roll cages. is there laws in Australia that prevent people doing that? as we don't have to go through all this "engineering" hassle or worry about police pull over's all the time.

Hey mate, just wondering about your seats. You said the 86 seats pretty much just bolt in, was just wondering age of the seats you have? I have some 2013 86 seats and a 2012 SR5 and rails are quite different. Is there an adapter kit you used or cut and weld job? Cheers, Adam Sick truck by the way 🤙🏼
