Make your OLD 4x4 Feel BRAND NEW !

[@rouseyanglerholics]

She is definitely a rig. Sound deadening was a huge improvement. I had the RN105 for years with the little 22R in it. After I killed that I decided it was time for a full rebuild. With my brothers help I ripped the old engine and box out and added a V6 Ecotec, diff locks and did a full respray in a cabinet makers booth who lived down the road 😂

[@MrLachlan.]

Mate my goodness, the LN is turning out BEAUTIFUL. Amazing work boys 🤙💪

[@TJANDMAC]

It really is! Thanks dude !

[@achilleaustin]

For mounting the winch, you can cut that factory part of the cab off and make a new support to give you more room, from memory you can get about 150mm of extra clearance backward.

[@TJANDMAC]

Yeah Do you reckon that would go through the aircon ? We r trying to keep all that to 😅

[@RickySeeto]

Nice little mods like this make a big difference 🙌🏾 Good job Maca & TJ, nice little touch to the head rests too 🤙🏾

[@aaronkay257]

Looks heaps better!! Only thing missing is the nardi wheel

[@thealterator]

wow, what a difference a bit of trim makes. Brilliant mods and awesome tips on the zip lock bag.

[@alasdaircrum]

Like most, I also had a ln106, definitely inspiration to get the old troopy done Ive got now

[@DanielB-py1yi]

Killer ep guys. Look forward to the new bits added to this. Gonna Google that slim sub too. Would fit nicely behind the rear seats in my Hilux.

[@TJANDMAC]

Thanks Daniel !

[@Puzzard]

Love all the BWOAHH! Since the Tassie trip, almost a staple of this Channel now

[@TJANDMAC]

Haha 😂 I know right

[@AUSSIEACTION4x4]

That interior is looking mint! Just moved over to the tub life now too so might have to cop a couple of those bin bags!

[@TJANDMAC]

Yeah pretty cool !

[@paulw9293]

Yikes this is nuts! I think I may need to budget for the n70. Not only hot, noisy but also smelly due to me using it for carting horse & chook poo...as nature intended of course 😂. Seriously, this is a great set of ideas as not all of us can afford the the newest & craziest (as both of you know as regular humans!). Thanks fellas the heat and sound shielding is worth it alone. Peace! ✌️

[@TJANDMAC]

Thanks mate !!

[@rollyb5061]

awesome interior refit Mac, love to see the you make the front bar work for the winch

[@macpreston]

Defs on the to do list!

[@rollyb5061]

@@macpreston 💪💪💪

[@WatoHDJ80]

Looking mint, especially with that bullbar gone 👌🏼

[@TJANDMAC]

Yeah love it this way 😍

[@WatoHDJ80]

Then top it off with a mid mounted winch like winch comp truck. Put the winch under the tub somewhere so at the front you only see a hook 👌🏼

[@NateH-qd7bm]

Massive changes on the Luxy and I am frothing to see it 🍻👍

[@TJANDMAC]

Loving it hey !

[@jessetink3753]

What a rig the LN is looking crazy 😂 Nice to see you guys doing 2 episodes a week 👍🏽 Keep it up 🤙🏽

[@howesyaadventures5542]

Looking good boys. Cam does some killer car interiors!!! Even back in tafe he was doing well

[@troopacoopala]

On the cup holder front you can get 79 series one stone arm rest/cup holder only require a little trimming and they fit mint

[@cruzinoz8783]

Paint the bloody steering console cover black

[@chasinlines4803]

Also as far as the winch in the stock bar if you run the surf bumper it sticks out just slightly further and with a little trimming and the winch basically touching the rad it will fit just

[@TJANDMAC]

What kind of winch is that 🤔

[@jasondaley6723]

Another mad ep and you're lucky that between you both you can create, edit the content it's a self contained channel wel done again

[@taeymansom]

The phat lux, this things f*cking spicy as 🤘 As for the winch, I ran mine under the tray of my zook with the rope through some tubing to the fairlead, in cab conroll and an extender for the freespool handle to a little lever behind the cab window 🤙 also saved me having to reach down in the mud to flick the lever 😂 Love the work legends, keen to see more 💪

[@macpreston]

Man that’s a sik idea! Never even thought of that!

[@taeymansom]

Aye that's what we're here for 😉 works a treat too because the pulling point is centralised, puts less strain on the winch, also a good spot to mount a battery if just for the winch if there's room 🤘

[@samsymes001]

N70 steering wheel or camey wheels fit! Might even be able to get wheel buttons working for stereo 🤙🏼 doing n70 in my 106 with a VG30 turbo in it 😋

[@nickfossey3902]

With your whinch have you considered a mid mount whinch ? Something like a warm high mount lent over under the tub ? With a could of eyelets alone the chassis or something?

[@jarrahwalker3966]

That solid axle on the ground at 14:40. Hmmm chev Plans?

[@TJANDMAC]

Indeed 🤩

[@vikingbulk8531]

Shed Life / No wasted Weekends legionnaires hat would sell a treat, do it haha

[@bob1_125]

Yes boys love the regular content

[@TJANDMAC]

Hahaha thanks dude !

[@jacobus1772]

I love how Mac is just as surprised as us as to what is going in the car🤣 like "oh you got that too, sick!! lets put it in"

[@PapaSeBakkie]

As good of an idea as the "paint protector" is, the moment a bit of dirt, dust or mud gets in between it and the tailgate, which it will, its basically going to turn into sandpaper rubbing on your paint

[@macpreston]

Good point might need to bush wrap the tailgate!

[@PapaSeBakkie]

@@macpreston that’s the spirit!

[@raptor_cjs4003]

nice work boys. ive got one of those tub bags done tassie with it great bit of kit

[@nickemanuel160]

The tub bags are a mint idea finally a company making them, iv got 2 cheap ones that I didn't really care about so cut off the uneeded bits and tec screwed into the tail gate 🤣

[@yermoffroad]

Oh man dont give up on those big 33s! You guys gotta have some friends that have friends in high places! 😢

[@mitchhalse3427]

Good work lads!!! Got to love new car smell in an old car haha keep up the work legends. Cheers

[@mitchhalse3427]

Oh and fyi the shirts gets a bit of attention so I hope you’ve got some more followers out it 🍻

[@TJANDMAC]

Haha thanks Mitch !!!

[@zombies35192]

Uh ohhhh sounds like the hilux is gettin a 1UZ-FE next year 🔥

[@krisfairweather5794]

Flashiest fence checker in the game

[@TJANDMAC]

Bloody oath 😂

[@4xhoser]

As a 🇨🇦Canadian can a auzzie explain why those kind of welded pipe intakes are so popular? Are they just cooler and better looking than a plastic snorkel? Love these old hiluxs, so similar to our “pickups” 🤘

[@jessemaanen6455]

How about mounting the winch under the tub and run the rope up to the front like some winch trucks do

[@jamesfcookjr]

You need to do matching carpet on back cab wall to cover Dino mat 🤑butt the LM is looking awesome 👍🏼😊🤙🏽❤️

[@TJANDMAC]

Lovin it !

[@angushikuwai5495]

When did you guys do the centre console with the other speakers?!

[@TJANDMAC]

Actually always been there it’s out of the surf 😎 works well

[@ethan928]

Surely you change the steering wheel and column cover. She’s looking mint!!

[@macpreston]

Needs it!!🎉

[@raywirihana]

Wood grain wheel!!! Cherry on top

[@ross_rusher0243]

Bin bag might even work on the LC's with the gate & hatch for those not running a tyre carrier, can anyone confirm that?

[@TJANDMAC]

Maybe it would 🤔

[@topshlf_babyy]

smashed it out of the park as per usual fellas. new interior is killer. perhaps a pricey steering wheel if you really feel like overcapitalising ;) 🤙

[@lachlanoneill1818]

that top mount intercooler tease just screams that the engine swap is a 1KD 😂

[@macpreston]

😉😉

[@TJANDMAC]

[@k-man4906]

“The thing with old cars is you get heaps better highs but a shitload more lows” 😂😂

[@richardwalsh5570]

TJ, you should be able to trace the original door card and make your own?

[@TJANDMAC]

Sure can ! However it’s much better to buy the pre-made versions as they are perfect

[@jonathonridden9859]

Steering wheel and steering column cover would be a cool upgrade🙂

[@Averyexe123]

I think this would look awesome with a similar hidden tub rack as the cruiser. Maybe then TJ might finally have some bag on the tyres 😅

[@TJANDMAC]

Haha definitely needs a bit of weight in the back !

[@rossmiller8814]

Wow, this is making me think my 4Runner is in need of a new interior now .

[@TJANDMAC]

Haha 😆 makes a big difference!

[@askills1158]

Nice one lads... love the luxy. Never met a bad one! I wana do an 81 up soon. Gona grab some merch. Will this car be drawn on u tube. I dont have any other socials. 🤙

[@TJANDMAC]

Thanks Steven ! We r hoping to but either way the winner will get a phone call from Macca 😎

[@xMizeryz]

chuck a winch in the tub in the centre like they do in winch truck and run it through the cab

[@explore.the.weekend]

9:54 okay, hear me out. What if, we put scissor doors on this ? Seeing as the door itself is seeming a bit longer than normal 🤔

[@antbart2393]

Whens the new jumpers coming out pls 🙏

[@cyclemoto8744]

Thanks lads

[@pdimou15]

Loving the ep 😍 Mac and TJ are really cool lads and uber down to earth 🌎 I can't even imagine how many messages they get but hey they reply and it made my week still waiting to get paid to buy my t shirts 😀 but I will and I'll send you the proof lol ha ha ha 😂 let me know when down I'm Melbourne for a show I'll pop down to say hello. Cheers for being so entertaining 👏 👍

[@TJANDMAC]

Haha no worries ! Thanks for the support mate ! 😎

[@alexsteel8167]

Is it possible to convert the front suspension to coils on these LN106?

[@Wr3ckit]

If you didn’t take that ranger you’d be mental 🤯 another banger lads 🤙🏼

[@TJANDMAC]

Haha 😆 thanks dude !

[@JAKEBURN]

Can't believe it was a 25min video and Macca didn't take the piss once and say anything about mounting the sub adjuster on the dash board.

[@keilfestin4606]

Hey is the lift and tyres legal and engineered I’m here in Qld and can’t even go 35s on my Luxy

[@TJANDMAC]

Yeah engineered for 33s I only use the bigger tyres off-road

[@samwestonnine11]

Tub bag would be mint to have ya dirty snatch straps in once ya pulled out of the mud

[@jacobxpeck]

Upset it didn’t end up with white leather personally

[@TJANDMAC]

Haha you would be

[@bradleytrapp898]

All your work I'd great guys But as a nav owner, I would love to see more of Nav

[@harrygibbs-hughes4820]

Camry steering wheel fits on would suit the updated interior

[@TJANDMAC]

Oh true

[@seals1211]

The doorcard size is different because the single cab and dual front doors are different sizes i dare say youve got dual fronts hope this helps 🤙

[@TJANDMAC]

Yeah something weird going on hey 😅

[@tiagojunges145]

Looking sick !! You guys should do a pimp my ride with one of us mortals hey hahaha =)

nice upload, and work on the trim! Looking minty Cheers Jim

[@TJANDMAC]

Thanks dude !

[@tomwhelan7901]

WINCH IDEAS I've seen a LN with a center mounted winch under the tub behind the cab and they'd run the winch rope through metal hoops to the front and just had a Normal fairlead on it keeps weight center and keeps front flush to run standard bumper . Bit of fuckin bout but solves your problem and it's just cool 💁‍♂️

[@macpreston]

Love this idea!

[@TJANDMAC]

Well well ! That’s an idea !

[@leonhanselmann]

I’d take this over the ranger I reckon 🤤 can’t beat a clean ln106

😝 it’s so good

[@jakeclarke3976]

PWWOARRRR that new car smell is nice great video boys love it

[@Aussieiron129]

What happened to the troopy?

[@fatmanoverlanding]

Is it legal in QLD for the wheels/tyres to stick out beyond the guards / wheel arch flares? 'Coz if that was in NSW, it will be defected for sure.

No touring mods!!! Turn up the HP and fry some tyres 💨💨. Put a swag in the back when going camping. Don’t be a glamper x

[@maxkruger6449]

Love the build so far though 😂

[@arthur_80_Phant]

Its probably about beer o'clock already for you guys, but I'll a cheers you with my morning coffee on another great EP🤙🏻 All though hearing that the LN might loose its "bigger 33's" was like hearing nails on a chalkboard...😬 😂

[@macpreston]

Haha it’s a sad time! But it will be better in many ways for the Luxy! Minus how it looks 😂

[@ashgranger8359]

Once dust and sand gets between that tailgate bag protector and the tailgate it will still scratch/ chafe the living shit out of the paint

[@macpreston]

It’s pretty tight to the gate but could defs bushwrap the tailgate if u haven’t already!

[@ashgranger8359]

@macpreston 100% bushwrapz would completely solve the problem 🙂. I've just seen even tight fitting, high quality car covers damage paint and they're not even moving or driving through dusty areas

[@craigschultz722]

How do you get away with your illegal tyres sticking outside your guards.

[@TJANDMAC]

I have street tyres on for round town usually 🤟

[@RustnDustoffroad]

My old ln46 smells like dirt and rust and mouse poo, even with the new carpet haha

Ah yeah the old dual cab door cards instead of single cab
