Wow I want one!!!!! I’m jealous

[@1Jeddawi]

glorious 🤩

[@Kevin-thl]

Well done but to be honest I personally love the old-school FJ45 without any modifications!

[@karimyorkston9199]

What a beautiful RIGG ❤

[@maxwood192]

Great job, really love everything you have done, a lot of hours, but now can enjoy it.

[@adelarsen9776]

Authentic OEM Toyota sun visors are still manufactured for the 40 series. They are made in NSW by Hy-Way Sun Visors and are available from Toyota or from Hy-Way direct. Why is anyone on this earth having problems finding a sun visor ??? Nothing beats the real thing.

[@DeathNoir2435]

This was a good video it’s hard to imagine the state of the vehicle originally based of those floor pan shots, you’ve done really well and you should be entering comps as you’d be taking home the awards for sure.

[@ShedBuilt]

Awesome mate, what a masterpiece 😍 The boys at Rough to tough have done a great job on this build 🤙

[@explora_downunder]

Thanks mate 😊, yes would highly recommend them!

[@mitchellpaterson7062]

@@explora_downunder hi Love the truck just starting to collect some components now to do a build is it possible that I could get the full parts list to do this I would be starting from a HJ47 but so probably a little different thanks

[@Jeep79]

The beautiful Land Cruiser thx for sharing bro

[@explora_downunder]

Thank you for watching!

[@Denmelful]

Nice rigg and a fantastic presentation run down

[@richardvalitalo3670]

Lovely build. The spare I would mount in the front of the tray so it doesn't block your view.

[@explora_downunder]

We will be putting up a new rig rundown soon, we have upgraded the tray to a tray and canopy setup now

[@ryanphotostudio]

Excellent video! Thanks for the thorough info.

[@jeromeclark418]

Awesome truck is that the 416 dune beige?

[@explora_downunder]

Thanks mate! Yep it’s 416 👍

[@teammadmullet]

Bloody wicked rig….. What’s billies bay like, facilitates, boat ramp ect

[@explora_downunder]

Thanks mate, billies bay was great! We were quite surprised at how quiet it was down there especially for a weekend. There is facilities and 3 BBQ of BBQ areas that you can park on the grass next to. Hays landing is only 2minutes from Billies bay and it has a boat ramp and 12 undercover picnic tables.

[@MrlandcruiserG]

Great video man thanks for it I wish I could fine a 12ht in states so I can do my hj45 I got h engine again thanks

[@explora_downunder]

Thanks very much mate :) Yeah the 12ht is getting pretty hard to find now unfortunately even over here in Oz, but definitely nothing wrong with the mighty H engine they are a solid motor.

[@liampoor9699]

What's your input on that 120a alternator? I'm interested in getting one for my 12HT

[@Tarenja50]

Any info on the rear diff/handbrake parts and setup?

[@warrenscott7534]

Would like to know what parts needed for this conversion mate, currently rebuilding one myself.

[@edenseensindestructibles7527]

NICE RIG! Could you please help get the same SUN VISOOOOR 😢

[@beyondtruth3174]

hey mate what tyre size are you running

[@lachlanaroa2035]

Hi mate currently doing up a 45 changing from 2f to 2h anyway I can get in contact with you

[@Tarenja50]

Where did you get the dash set up? Indication of cost would be great also.

[@explora_downunder]

Hey mate, we purchased from Dakota Digital in the USA but I believe Mr Landcruiser now sells these in AU. It’s definitely an investment. Thanks 😊

[@ollemoitagkgodfrey1314]

Good work you did on this FJ46 Toyota Land Cruiser. I would like to know how much can this cost.

[@explora_downunder]

Too much haha all worth it in the end.

[@MrlandcruiserG]

I do have same problem with my brakes went getting wet I lose my brakes so u set Fj62 disc will do thanks if you respond great rigg you got

[@explora_downunder]

Thanks mate! yes, I used the parts from a hj60series (steering knuckles, disk brakes and hubs). You will need to use the HJ47 steering arms (the ones that sit on top of the knuckles) as the 60 series ones are slightly longer and offset differently. Hope this helps :)

[@MrlandcruiserG]

[@marty754]

Nice build .... but as far as the LED spots are concerned ... skip the Stedi's and go for the only USA made LED ... ARB Intensity V2 32 Led Spot , made by Ridged Industries .... in USA .. everything else down under is made in China .... sorry but a fact ...

[@explora_downunder]

Thanks man! Ahh we will look into the ARB leds, we ended up getting Stedi leds about a year ago, they seem to be pretty good so far but thank you for the info! 🙏

[@reckdanagi9462]

Hi, am very much interested in your vehicle and would ask if you selling it please revert back advice to me, please?

[@explora_downunder]

Hi mate, thank you for the interest but she isn’t for sale. Thanks 😊
