The G60, was called the Jonga in India, named after the factory where it was built, meant only for the Indian Army, it was a beast, so many memories and good time we had with these super strong G 60, JONGA was the acronym for Jabalpur Ordnance and Gun Carriage Assembly, vehicle factory at Jabalpur. Good to see one being restored, Kudos

It was a trip down memory lane to see an old G60, I got my first G60 in 1972. I was 18 years old. In 1975 we headed for Cape York with it WHAT a trip. You are dead right about the brakes we towed an 18 ft caravan all over the top end lucky we put PDR brakes on it as we relied on the van to pull up it and the G60.

WOW What a trip down memory lane. A 1977 SWB soft top Patrol was my first 4WD. I bought in new for just under $6k, I wanted a SWB Toyota but there was six month wait and I wasn't waiting. I then spent another $5k on accessories, Roll bar, full external bar work including truck like winch bar, biggest and best Warn winch of the day, 2 huge spotlights, 2x 100lt Aux fuel tanks, Recaro seats, overhead console with Pioneer sound system with biggest amp of the day and a CB. I wanted to be the first to traverse the Canning stock route in a modern day 4WD. That never happened but in the 12 years of ownership I had so many adventures with the Green Brick, I have too many tales of getting stuck, roll overs, breakdowns and bush mechanic repairs to tell here. Thank you for this video and bringing those old memories to mind.

Do Gunshot, low range 1st gear and the old beast will just crawl down, no brakes needed,lol.

We knew it as Rocky, It was a bulletproof 4wd for us back home in fiji, no matter the road or river crossing without snorkels lol.
