Fellas have done wonders with this 🤩can't wait to have it on the channel ;) good work guys

[@OutbackEquipment]

Guy math: Spend money on the ShedLife Club, save money on parts, win a fully built Hilux = you're making money. 😂 Solid work on the test track-thing looks dialed!

[@TJANDMAC]

Haha 😂 not wrong #BoyMath 💪

[@azzamils]

muzzbar would've taken it to the next level

[@kadenmackriell4751]

Yeah, but they are on a timer, muzzbars can take 6 months to even rock up.and recently they'd been bought out, so I'm not sure what they're gonna be like now.

[@Finger_Blasterr]

Boring

[@keqrou]

Just like it took literally every other hilux to the “next level”. Do something different.

[@whiteknight1213]

PSR bars are way nicer

[@macpreston]

I do like em! Don’t think you can buy them though atm! I see Offroad creative Baught muzz bar!

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Macca & TJ, someone is gunna be stoked to win this, only change I’d do is get rid’a the black bead lock for shiny polished, great episode mate, cheers

[@macpreston]

Hey matty! Ah nice yeh im starting to like black ring im not sure why haha but agreed all polish is defs 🔥🔥🔥

[@MichaelSmith-sq8df]

I’m from Canada and personally own a Jeep wrangler 4 door on 38/13.5/17 Mickey Thompson Baja pro xs ,it is a very capable vehicle even with the roof top tent and drawer system in the back. It goes anywhere I point it as its twin locked.

[@TJANDMAC]

Yeah can’t really beat them for a factory vehicle anyway 💪

[@79series]

15:09 smoked the big hill. Solid effort, you mob 💪 👏 great rig.

[@TJANDMAC]

Thanks mate !!

[@mikemorgan4670]

Great episode Bois! Thr PHAT bars rear bumper is mint, so clean and tight looking. Respect the JEEP but not a fan, dime a dozen here in North America. 😁🤷‍♂️

[@macpreston]

Cheers mike! haha yeh very popular in america not so much down here~!

[@mickhannequin7647]

Love your work Mac another killer build 🔥🔥🍻

[@macpreston]

[@scott_edwards23]

[@glenndodson1914]

Definitely like jeep, had one and enjoyed it immensely.

[@TJANDMAC]

[@tonykelly1222]

Love the same day sliders

[@TJANDMAC]

😅 poor Tom

[@marcelogarcia5094]

Sick rig boys 👍 very capable

[@andrewphillips8966]

Love your work guys wepon 🤘🤘🤘

[@M_sax23]

Full coil swap hilux would be cool front and rear and definitely muzz bar

[@macpreston]

Agreed!!

[@kamrensingh-il6ge]

Nice Luxy mate

[@off2adventure739]

Animal bar on the front would be nice. Guess I can fit that my self..😂

[@macpreston]

😂😂😂 unless you take the cash than I’ll do it and go again lol

[@thebull1692]

Needs a raised air intake and an exhaust. Maybe some underbody bashplates. Make it twin locked with front locker too.

[@TJANDMAC]

Would be the go 🤌

[@guanny22gaming]

Car is coming together nicely swear they had a kit that was 4ich 33s

[@TJANDMAC]

Yeah pretty sure it’s pre rego though

[@glenndodson1914]

So looking forward to this

[@AyodanDownUnder]

LOve your videos, but no chance for me with the Hilux. Looking forward to your next adventures. Jeeps look good but I have heard of a few problems when out 4wd-ing.

[@macpreston]

Thanks mate!! Yeh jeep probs not for me either tbh!

[@DriftDynamics_Aus]

With the bar what happens with the blind spot monitoring system?

[@macpreston]

This one doesn’t have blind spot monitoring only lane monitoring!

[@lsx4276]

How many kms does the hilux have? I’d pull the sports bar off, de badge it, 5% tint and possibly lift the front a little bit more. Love the build fellas 👌🏼

[@TJANDMAC]

About 50k , thanks 🙏!

[@macpreston]

Now that would top it off and yep what tj said still a baby 💪🏼

[@kamrensingh-il6ge]

Sick vid

[@maverick2242]

SAAS woulda taken it to the next level 😂

[@TJANDMAC]

Not wrong 😅 if only Australia had reasonable rules

[@chasinlines4803]

Might have to drive to qld for some of these same day sliders

[@TJANDMAC]

😜

[@BushAdventuresAustralia]

What do I think of Jeeps well I have one and they are pretty cool

[@1881hardcore]

Need an anytime locker to finish it off, make the front traction control turn back on 👌

[@macpreston]

Didnt even think of that! Such a good mod!

[@greg3113]

1st thing, get an animal offroad front bar and winch, 2nd aluminium 1/2 canopy for the rear for a light fitout for fridge & storage. 😅

[@macpreston]

oh shit yeh would be mint!

[@MrMikkaman]

Love the Jeep but wheel base lets it down a pre rego jacked wagon would be sick 1st hilux mod would be a tub drawer setup

[@TJANDMAC]

Nice 🤌

[@rileybliss2569]

Did you guys have to chop the body mount? If not, what did you to not make it scrub at full flex?

[@gullf1sk]

Jeeps capability were never a question. They are amazing offroaders. But i dont think i'd take one on the Canning stock route.

[@TJANDMAC]

😅 I’d have to agree given my experience at cape York

[@tripz2571]

First mods would be tray and lose the tub. Then 12 volt setup and big fridge for all the beers 😂🤙🍻

[@TJANDMAC]

Haha nailed it 😂

[@macpreston]

Hahaha we now build cars to fit maximum beers 😂

[@tripz2571]

@macpreston 💯💯💯🤙🍻😆 can't go off road without them beers boys hahaha

[@Lindsay-kd8ip]

does superior engineering have coil conversion for single cab?

[@macpreston]

I beleive so but could be worth calling up on that one!

[@calemraath2041]

Onca front bar with hoops

[@RyanRigby-f5s]

What wheels are they? And do they come with the black beadlock ring

[@TJANDMAC]

KMC Impact 17 0mm offset I think the ring may have to be powder coated 🤔

[@RyanRigby-f5s]

@ where can I purchase from? Cant find these ones online anywhere

[@paulzeleny4879]

Awesome build!!...ecu & trans tune plus exhaust next?

[@macpreston]

Would be a perfect next mod i recon! It already has an exhaust not a loud one though!

[@paulzeleny4879]

Cheers...a transmission cooler then instead of the exhaust

[@paulzeleny4879]

Has this been drawn?

[@VAKARUGBY]

Bull bar and roof rack🤙

[@quzelfnbr]

Dream car love you boys ❤

[@macpreston]

Thanks legend!

[@anbu999]

That man can drive a stock Camry up that hill.

[@macpreston]

I’d love to give it a crack 😂😂

[@paulzeleny4879]

​@@macpreston...get superior to build the suspension & give it a crack!!

[@FleshFaceFTW]

Love the rig, are the wheels the KM552’s?

[@macpreston]

sure are!

[@pedrocastella6183]

Tell us more about the front suspension, very contentious on body mount chops, wheel offsets and general Toyota suspension setups. You mention longer length front struts, adjustable arms, spend some time on this topic and explain. Might find some good information at tinkerers garage channel. Help some of your viewers get their luxes to a good standard when not everyone can afford 20 odd grand for suspension. I like your builds, but you are setting an unachievable goal for most of your followers. Great build, keep it up

[@Live-L-Ife-Large]

Yoooo wondering what the boys at PHAT bars did to fix that pinch weld to fit bigger tyres? I have that exact issue 🤣

[@Nick_hobbs]

How good it's the number plate combo. AS5

[@TJANDMAC]

I know right 😅

[@thomasshaw2084]

It’s giving Mac’s n70 on 20s vibes 😂😂😂

[@TJANDMAC]

Haha those were the days 😂

[@thomasshaw2084]

@ would be funny to see something like that again😂

[@macpreston]

Take me back! Times were simpler than 😂

[@brettgainfort3121]

#1 yeah boy

[@rorylah]

just in time for dinner

[@adammitchell5229]

does it come with the a55 number plate??

[@TJANDMAC]

😅 could be arranged

[@macpreston]

If ur in qld it will 😂😂

[@adammitchell5229]

@ 🤣🤣

[@jaydenjones7895]

Got a 4.7 WJ grand cherokee with 35s and absolutely love it, may of ripped off your 5k budget build...

[@ZumbalacazanCuatroxCuatro]

🔥🔝🚙🔥🔝💯🚙🔥🔝💯🚙

[@nicbeattie2425]

What size are the tires

[@neilgray8831]

I think they are 295/70R17.

[@macpreston]

Currently 295/70/17 however they run the body mount so will offer whoever wins either these or a smaller set! 👌🏼

[@brad1325]

Put a front locker in it is the first thing i would do

[@TJANDMAC]

I reckon to !💪

[@macpreston]

Best mod 👌🏼

[@alexrobertson7542]

been up the hard track in a unlocked 2' 33's 80 series

[@DK90VR]

4.88 diff gears

[@scottradke5349]

The hilux is looking great . It would be cool to win . But you did ask about Jeeps . They are fantastic . I have had Jeeps for the last 20 years . But every Jeep does have it own personality . Sometimes a Bipolar one but you still love em hahahaha😂😅😂😅😂

[@cooperhowie6357]

Muzz bar first then I reckon dual staino snorkels and a chip and exhaust

[@Glenactus]

He's going to get a jeep next , isn't he ? 😅

[@macpreston]

hahaha na not for me!

[@SootyWags]

PSR Ambush bullbar

[@maverick2242]

Gotta ask, what is it about Aussie’s off roading with the removable tow hitch still on when ha aint towing! Rookie moves Strayla! Come on come on, Aussie come on Howzat..! Way to break a driveshaft CV or worse scratch that shiny hitch 🤣🤘

[@stuartwithwings36]

When normally dont have removal hitch normally and d shack or soft shaft hitch in there

[@macpreston]

Haha usually leave it in to protect the tub but now it has a rear step it’s just me being a rookie 😂

[@MrRumrunner64]

Hey when was the n80 drawn

[@TJANDMAC]

Yesterday actually, draw is on Mac’s instagram @mac_preston

[@andrewshepley7751]

Needs a colour coded buzz bar with black hoops asap

[@macpreston]

Agreed! Wish I had it longer!

[@reecebutler749]

Of course phat bars snorkel !!

[@dn059]

Dam she flexy

[@PiazzaWoodWorks]

What! No snorkel?? No airbox? Tom must be gutted

[@macpreston]

Haha unfortunately not enough time with this one! They only had same day sliders and bars lol

[@PiazzaWoodWorks]

@ hahaha love it mate

[@Golden-dog88]

what the cost??? ive got a N70 i wana do this to

[@macpreston]

Cost was 7-8k for the coil kit depending on shocks, and 6k in labour. It took me i think a week to do the first one and my ranger myself! Didnt have the time this time. Front end was another few grand because i did billet ucas and adjustable 2.0 remote res shocks!

[@whiteknight1213]

You should definitely do a 2020+ dmax at some stage even though it’s not a Toyota

[@macpreston]

Defs would love to try one!

[@whiteknight1213]

@ heck yeah and would be awesome if you could coil them

[@tripz2571]

Hows the 60 coming along boys

[@TJANDMAC]

Parked 😅

[@macpreston]

[@chillidogg92]

Afn front bar white with black hoops And ill bang my 12v system in it and its going the cape!

[@macpreston]

👌🏼👌🏼

[@AirDownAndPlayUp]

Sorry Phat bars but 1st mod for me would be rear bar and tub straight on marketplace and build a tuff tray for it 👌

[@melnickharris1177]

If everyone could afford it would be great 👍

[@macpreston]

Off memory the coil kit with shocks and coils was 7-8k than labour to fit!

[@baileybailer2639]

next episode, Mac buys superior engineering jeep???

[@macpreston]

Hahaha na not for me that one 😂

[@kamrensingh-il6ge]

[@susd11]

[@JasonMcMahon-h1c]

1st mod is going to be a front locker

[@TJANDMAC]

[@putrol4.2]

The best mod I ever did to my 3 Hiluxes was the for sale sign

[@alexrobertson7542]

[@Jacobdonnelly5]

What kmc’s are those

[@macpreston]

ims 552

[@jessetink3753]

First mod would have to be a bar up the front and a snorkel 👍🏽

[@vanceturner5339]

Everytime I see the plate I see EAT AS5 😅😅

[@macpreston]

[@DanielB-py1yi]

When's phat bars releasing that rear bar for us commoners to buy? My N80 looks shit in the rear end with that chrome OEM job.

[@hugowaltersoto9199]

[@samueldrane8463]

[@CK-Chanel]

[@Blake-zc4qb]

Don’t like jeeps but the hilux needs a snorkel

[@thoughts715]

heres to hoping i win it hahaha

[@macpreston]

💪🏼💪🏼

[@Mavo1989]

Time to do a DMAX build - gather you boys are toyota through and through... but really the N80 is pretty lacking for its money and interior

[@macpreston]

Yeh might have to give one a try!

[@Glenactus]

Would like to own a jeep BUT their reputation on the vehicles doesn't sit very well

[@Baileyshondacrf250r]

If I won, I would put a paint matched bullbar on it

[@agaloodyowie1]

What wheels are they! I swear you didnt say haha

[@TJANDMAC]

KMC Impacts 17s 0mm offset 🤌

[@chrisledwith3216]

Okay why do I keep seeing the words 38T AS5 On the numberplate That it time to be a member

[@macpreston]

Dw I do to 😂😂

[@chrisledwith3216]

@macpreston glad I'm not the only one with a bad mind

[@stuartwithwings36]

Jeep come stock as most capable offroad vechicle on the market but there build quality is piss poor and then gutless engines and are reliable in the 150 plus ks that lifters comming to fail in the penstar

[@macpreston]

Yeh I agree with ya there pretty gutless but dam Offroad they are weapons!

[@BasharatHussain-md3ge]

You guys are talking more show less

[@Mays99]

Wheels are 🤢

[@macpreston]

Each to their own! I like em!
