[@thelandcruiserproject5421]

Love the colour, Mustard is just awesome. Awesome build...

Glad you like it!

[@006jel]

The shot @ 2min 57 looks a lot like Table Mountain in South Africa :D

[@wk-2]

Beautiful truck, next time throw some pictures how it looked when you bought it 👍

[@mheradiranto6110]

Wow....what a very special Toyota Land Cruiser BJ42 that you have...long time go when I visited Australia, I saw BJ42 with yellow color and three wipers!

[@2UZFE]

She’s a beast !! , I have the BJ 74 and wouldn’t be without her it’s old school and so am I !

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

How good!

[@rollyb5061]

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Cheers!

[@MrArash1381]

This car looks great - Ruben, I'm not a 4wd owner yet (planning to become one in a few months time) - What I've seen in your's and 4wd-24/7 videos, you've got a great personality and your work is outstanding. I will def gonna pay you a visit once I get my 4B.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

That would be great, mate! Hope to see you soon! Thanks for watching!

[@NSWMods]

Look so Awesome and i am the same, i leave Much as Shock as u can Look good how it is Thank u For showing the Rig Please Take Care & Be Safe Up There

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Will do! Thank you!

[@benbailey5408]

Great rig graham and Shaun would be jealous

[@fatmanoverlanding]

Old Yella is a beauty. Love it ❤ I too would keep it period correct as much as possible. Full respect ✊

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Right on!

[@michaelbech478]

Great to see you appreciate the old school beasts & keep them looking like they should. Rgds Mick (bramwell airbag)

[@christophervella-croft855]

Love it looks tuff as little beast wish it was in my driveway 😂 love ya work

[@fstopza]

Absolute beaut of a car! Gotta love the shot of Cape Town at 2:58 - that must have been a hell of a drive from Aus :D

[@geoffodger]

Great looking truck love what you have done 👍

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Glad you like it

[@ashleygargent]

I wouldn't change anything that you have done Ruben I love it. There is one important mod that is needed and that is a 12HT or a 1HDT engine swap.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

it would certainly make it more lively.

[@ashleygargent]

Worth thinking about

[@Balthazarry]

Go a 15B - FTE that would suit the car, and give you a little more modern power 😉

[@anbu999]

That car with pizza cutter is perfect.

[@OffTheBeatenPathAus]

Great video Ruben, I'd love to see a full walk-through on the DMW Pantry/Kitchen

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

We showed it a little more in this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3vCiKuhma2Uq7M

[@jakeluff8067]

That little monster, is a bit of me! Love it. Nothing to be updated on it.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

👍

[@Stephenja]

Great to see an almost standard vehicle. I'm a great fan of period correct vehicles. The rims are fairly correct too. The spotties and where you have them also work, although being led is flash. Reuben your car is a real credit to you. Just one thing, don't spoil it. All the best mate

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thanks @Stephenja! 🙏

[@stevesallaussieadventures5648]

Absolute weapon, credit to you mate

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Cheers!

[@thefjirnyjourney8756]

I think it looks awesome mate. Hard to leave things alone when you want to get out and use them. Top job like all your projects and canopies.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

🙏Cheers, mate!

[@gr7788]

Like how you have keep so much original.👍

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@antristantalithaflesser1200]

just like the setup you've put together Reuben few more little extra's I wish I never sold any of my Cruiser now 1st was a HJ45,HZ75, HD80,HZJ105 dam you dude the 45 was awesome off road shit on highway 4 speed lol ... great content mate

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thank you! Thanks for taking the time to watch it!

[@TooT212]

This thing is a ripper. Good Stuff mate

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Cheers for watching James. 👍

[@kurt9055]

love it!! I had a BJ70 a few years back which would of been awesome with all those extra bits

[@canadian4wd654]

What an awesome Rig!!!

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

👍

[@AndysAverageAdventures]

Love it. Would just drive as it is. Simple and back to basics

[@gordonbarclay6106]

Awesome bit of kit, keep it basic a lot less to go wrong then, however I think you should change out the old suspension and replace with up to date stuff. May be a rear locker for the trickier stuff but nothing else just leave it...

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Cheers Gordon. Yeah i think I will do something with the suspension. It would benefit from it that is for sure.

[@mikegreer8223]

Ruben, can I ask what sort of seats you put into your car?. I have a BJ42 project started and need new seats. Love the color of your vehicle. Mine is an Orange SWB soft top..

[@arnold4333]

Absolutely awesome - would you ever sell it

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Not at this stage Arnold. But you never know what will happen in the future hey..

[@clint.garage.6092]

Mint....let’s see it hit the tracks.

[@mikaylakemp3872]

cool bj man the only thing i would change is me having the keys instead of you cheers for the vid

[@tmcsb]

would love to see you guys do a 4 door BJ42 build

[@markcandrl6039]

Hi Buddy Awesome job 💪🏻💪🏻 Did you have to space your Mickey Thomson rims after the Splitties? I’m having a hassle with my ‘75 rim choices. What are the offsets on those rims. Keep smiling while you drive 😁🤝🤝

[@tristonl]

Hey guys awesome job, can I be cheeky and ask what the color code is? Have an 80 series here in Ireland that I am restoring.

[@daveneumann6361]

DMW Ruben I've heard you can squeeze a 79 series V8 in those. I remember you used to work with my Dad Barry in Toowoomba in the early 90's for Rick. You want a FNQ sales rep? I keep buying the company t-shirts cos you tight asses won't supply me with a company vehicle. hahahah

[@rajawaseem7961]

Beautiful beast wanna know the brand of roof rack

[@bloodybuzzardbindel3555]

Any issues with the synthetic line with the roller fairlead? I’ve read that the combo is prone to pinching the line in the corners

[@bradgear5003]

Looks the goods mate Don’t change a thing 👍🏻 Just curious about your 12 volt setup though?

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

It is a super simple dual battery system with just a plug for the fridge and solar up on the roof. :)

[@bradgear5003]

@@dirtymuddyweekends The KISS method 👍🏻

[@boxmat182ify]

Hey Ruben I have a yellow BJ42 as well and im about to put 4 lights on the roof also. I'm just worried about them drawing too much juice. The stock alternator is only rated at 40 amp so once 4 spotties, plus normal headlights, radio and interior bulbs are all on I rekon ill be drawing more power than what I'm putting in. Have you had any dramas running them?? Im dual battery also and I rekon ill be right but I'd be interested to hear from someone else who has gone down this path. Thanks mate!

[@nemyla]

Love the car Ruben. May I ask how much roughly you have spent on the gear ?

[@NaginRathod]

Show us the engine

[@andrewbriand7539]

Looks like a 1980, doesn’t have the fancy dash. I had the exact same one, same colour too. Did cape York, Fraser and Moreton. Sold it unfortunately, biggest regret of my life.

[@ollemoitagkgodfrey1314]

Nice vehicle,I would like the long chassis hardtop,with 1HD-T engine,RHD,manual gearbox,strong and durable suspension.How much might that cost?

[@RustyChilts]

what Motor in it 3B????

[@JoshuaJAD]

So is the old girl considered a 40 series, a 42 series or would both be correct? I've never understood how that works. Similarly, can the 76 series and/or 79 series be called a 70 series? Or are the 70 series and 40 series their own cars or...

[@Snatch4WDGal]

I love it but I would add a rooftop tent

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Would be nice!👍

[@Snatch4WDGal]

@@dirtymuddyweekends The drifta rooftop tent is awesome

[@jacklynch.]

What sort of roof rack is that don't know if i missed the name but just having some trouble finding a good rack.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

It was a custom made on Jack. :)

[@jacklynch.]

@@dirtymuddyweekends Alright thanks.

[@Mango_McPoo]

why the hell did you skip the entire camp kitchen bit?

[@boxy4973]

It’s missing 2 things mate Whistle and soot air box and snorkel 👌🏻

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

haha noted!

[@kurt9055]

Maybe fit a 200 series engine into it

[@rayamuarse4856]

Toyota LC BJ42 impianku...tolong berikan untuk,,,,!

[@arronjohnston742]

some may ask why Reuben is scared of the dark in the bush ....... have you seen the heads on Shauno and Graham Cahill ? enough to scare even the strongest man 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@phil6506]

I would change the rego to my name.

[@Rexy888]

I had a bj with the 3b 4cyl was a good match for the car I changed the 4speed box for a five speed and put 70 series disc brakes on the front great cars if ya like it rough. Yours is a great example 👍

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Cheers Rexy. Some good ideas there. thank you

[@RobertLee-hl3xz]

A great unit but I'd put a snorkel on it, and didn't the real old yeller die in the movie??
