[@pullingguard1527]

Been watching every episode on this rig. Much love for you, your channel and rig. Its already iconic in the 4wd scene and you have easily dominated the rankings for the best landcruiser builds going around, and becoming notoriously known as the bloke that builds the best landcruisers around.

Comments like this mean everything ❤

@@SamYoung4x4 love you bro, hopefully we can do a sus with Sammy with my tb48t s4 gu one day much love uso hopefully we can have a beer soon ❤️

BREAKING NEWS: Sammy's new build is a custom E85 fuel trailer

[@zachens_]

Now, just imagine this absolute beast getting out wheeled by GQ tin can.

[@1993Revhead]

Easily achieved cause it will never see dirt!

[@James-zu1xd]

As someone that’s recently built a patrol (m57 swap), I’m more than happy to help support the channel by watching this cool rig being built and keep the cost down!!

[@atomicorang]

With your help the man saved a lot of cash..😂😂 I

[@ggbogo935]

considering people spend 250+ on decked out 79 series this doesn't seem too bad

[@SamYoung4x4]

Not bad hey! Just gotta plan it all out

[@jackhodge1772]

At least those 79s are actually 4wd

[@jarrodjames1820]

​@@jackhodge1772a Commodore with a weldy would get further.

[@Mr_RPE]

Like fk that’s expensive as fk

[@79adventures]

bruh I have a 70th anniv 79 series and I felt that one personally 😂

[@brentwestbrook7048]

I’ve got a lot of time for a guy that is honest about what he is doing. Well done Sam, respect mate. 👊🏽

[@Bush-Tv]

Defiantly have to say its the honest 80 in Oz and great you have some solid support from sponsors. Its also made absolute awesome content that hopefully pays off. End of the day the 80 is a complete weapon mate well done, and thanks for bring all the content to us mate 👍

[@GrandadBaz]

Thanks, Sam, and everyone involved in the building of this it's absolutely over the top and not something I'd want to drive or own, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching it being built. I had a figure of #250K plus in mind for the build to date. Cheers, peeps bring on the next one

[@danielpriestley2926]

No.1 rule.. never add it up 🤣

[@chadsmall9447]

I’ve stopped at the 2 min mark to say your welcome mate , we love you and your content and being a big guy myself your weight loss is also inspiring me to get off my arse and fix it . Thank you for being your self and not a copy paste you deserve all the good that is coming to you .cheers

[@jetset8888]

Awesome work Sam. Great to see you in this happy space

[@DROZZLA]

I really appreciate this video love your honesty mate! Deserve it! You’ve worked hard for what you’ve got!!

[@Waitwhat-ev1nc]

Great content Sam, it’s only money! We cant take anything with us when we go, but if we can enjoy what we experience in life it’s a win in my books. Good for you. Some gamble, some golf, some holiday, but like myself you spend on your car. There’s no judgement here guys. Don’t be a hater, be a congratulator.

[@OverTheHillsAdventures]

Love the transparency and honesty of this episode

[@yandalf1819]

Dude this is sooo sick!!!

[@danielripp2888]

You're doing a great job Sam. I tune in every week for your episodes 👌

[@SamYoung4x4]

Legend 🎉

[@danielrees1482]

its pretty much a landcruiser shell and motor on a Sam Young body. In my opinion this is the coolest 80 in the world man. As Mat Armstrong would say "Hard work beats talent". Despite your wallet hurting, you deserve this man.

[@4x4adventurecanada10]

not sure if i love or hate this video! makes me think about how much I already sank into my own money pit! An old disco 2 on portal axles, 37s, hutchison miltary beadlocks....and the list goes on....and its far from over ! (its the green disco in my last vid on my channel) But at the end of the day its all worth it cause I love it !

[@bamafencer12]

Love the build series Sam! Cheers from the US 🍻

[@jakebaker1912]

Thats not to bad considering how it turned out definitely the nicest and probably most capable 80 in oz ❤ Keen to see more and this beast on the track's awesome job sammy u legend 👌

[@boy2424100]

Well said, mate. I am proud of you and don't listen to the haters. I love it, and 200k well spent 🙏👍👍

[@charliebarnett7380]

Puts it in perspective. But what an epic and one of a kind machine you have now!

[@benny_r05]

Had a look at this unit today at the show and quick chat with Sam. It's an awesome looking rig.

[@MrElucid8]

Looking forward to seeing the vids of the beast in action on some tough tracks.

[@troutobsessionnz]

Insane definitely drawn inspiration for my own personal build

[@mice6390]

Totally worth it mate good on you ❤

[@ALL_4_WHEELS]

Love your channel and content Sam‼️would love to have a weekend out on the trails with you guys‼️ keep up the amazing work in your vids 🇬🇧🇬🇧😎🤘🤘

[@Jacob_simmonds.]

Would love to see this 80 hit the deep mud in Tasmania

[@shingie_x]

That 80 got me hooked. Every episode has been brilliant to watch. I wonder how long the stock gearbox is going to last.

[@BrannndonM]

I couldn’t imagine the IOU HD auto had after the last rig was stolen from the shop

[@steveonpc5555]

seen ya at the Melbourne 4wd show and absolutely love the way this car turned out gotta be the toughest and best looking 80 out!

[@SamYoung4x4]

Thankyou my man 🎉

Happy to help, can't wait to actually receive the shirt though.....

[@winnvo8088]

Omg, absolutely love it 😂

The price of things in Australia is insane!!

[@user-awallace87]

Haters will hate brother keep up the great work up and up from here killa work 💪 👌 💯

[@rollyb5061]

been watching this build, i thought the cost would be 220k plus, money well spent Sam it has been an awesome build and a lot of fun to drive👍

[@karloz83]

You forgot to make sure that you put a lot of emphasis on the anti theft device and cost of that. Love the build great breakdown etc cannot wait to see it being thrashed

[@lachiep1134]

now for what all of us want to see. go and wheel this beast cause you deserve it, I can't wait to see you out there and shake your hand. you have certainly earned my respect and I hope I can do something like you have one day. maybe with a bit less coin tho

[@JamesCoppard-sn9yv]

If you wanna build beast you gotta spend like beast.. you've nailed it Sam.. 👏 👌 🙌 keep on the good job.. 💯 💶

[@MrBlubaduki]

Will it actually get to see the tracks? All worth it if it gets to do what it was built for.

[@Tour_Aus]

Nearly as much as my mobility scooter i had at the Sydney 4x4 show. Not keen in swaps are you 🤔. Haha. Nah good effort and a brilliant build sam. Cannot wait to see it getting out and about. Hats off to you.

[@colinvosper5296]

Def the hottest 80 around

[@morgansoper7536]

Definitely the nicest but if it was a diesel

[@80serieslandcruiser]

@@morgansoper7536 diesel would be better hey, but it still is a cracker of a build

[@jamespower6950]

Honestly think 200k is very good for the results. Keep it up you and you team around you are making some epic content.

[@jarrod1687]

Thanks the reality check, the most surprising cost to me was the interior, had no idea it costs so much to reupholster a car. You managed to pass engeering, is that on those wheels and tyres?

[@VanDeanCustoms]

$1500 for engineering... $2500 for the bribe 🤣

[@SirLuisBarrera]

Car like this would never pass engineering mate. Australian nonsense rules.

[@dawidrichardson8103]

When he said $75k I went oh that’s not that bad for that, then he said $202k then I went ooooooh ok ok, that’s a bit bad 🤣🤣🤣

[@jessegregoryCREEKSQUAD]

Hahaha seen every episode 😂 ❤ U better drive that beast for real not just baby it or worse road it 😂🎉❤

[@Grnbarf]

Sickest build on an 80 I’ve seen! Please bring it to the USA

[@stevegraham3817]

Or you could have just bought a GQ/GU add a turbo, front locker, winch and big tyres on some Sunraysias and end up somewhere in the $20-30k range. But thanks for being honest and explaining how much it really costs to make a Cruiser capable and reliable.

[@thatsgangsta2450]

and yet many people say youtube doesn't pay well, Sammy boi and this weapon of a cruiser says otherwise. Yeah, a lot of help comes from sponsors but you can't get sponsors without a platform to give the sponsors exposure. Epic sh1t man, all the hard work has paid off!

[@mohammedmuzakkir9803]

Amazing built, can't wait for it to be tested in real world, rock crawling, on the beach, muddy tracks and all, flex test and all, hard work paid off

[@viktorreznov4803]

Just bought a 94’ HZ77 with 243,000km for $36,500 USD. It needs no work done, but the fixings I want to get are going to get pricey and I can see myself getting a similar outcome of price when I’m done with it. Tools have been the most expensive part so far since I’ve never worked on a car before.

[@adamhoward1947]

Keen to see it wheeled!

[@Bennywright300rum]

Better spending it on something ya love then puttin it up ya nose or pissing it down the rain. You've done well and it's come a long way . End of the day you can say I built that and it makes ya happy .. keep The good content coming 👌

[@SirLuisBarrera]

Most think this could be built on an aprenticeship income. Good on you for not hiding the costs. Is it insured for 200k? Club4x4?

[@sebseb6400]

… I missed the price for coil towers from Blueflame Automotive? Considering that are not cheap they are part of the main built. Project looks great ❤. Built for a content on KZbin and some prices not available for average person. Good quality cost a lot of money in Australia. 😊

[@damienshenton7087]

Would love to see a video on the process off engineering

[@SNLandCruisers]

That’s not that bad! We put 1,000-1,500hrs into some of our builds.

[@SamYoung4x4]

Not too bad realistically 😊

[@SNLandCruisers]

@@SamYoung4x4 I am actually building an FT 80 Ute, slightly inspired by the Naughty 40!

The best 200k you can blow...80 is a beast, better use it and this time, dont lose it 🤘 You have no excuses, now Sam, no 70s, Fo Defender, 300, yank truck or even a Mighty Nissan is goona stop the Naughty 40/ 200k, Tylers on his 3rd engine on the GQ, prob Aussies most expensive GQ, so let her grip and rip mate🤟

Tbh this seems better value for money then these crazy 79s with decked out canopy’s etc costing like $300k

[@shawnbartels7847]

You can't compare it to the cost of an actual tourer that can go remote. Yes it's cool but what is it actually good for.

great vid, can you do a vid breaking down your youtube/sponsor money, obviously its not 200k per yr on a 53k sub channel, but curious as to what it actually is.

[@jessehill1421]

i just hope you have it insuranced accordingly as an great build loved it

No company in their right mind would insure this especially for 200k.

I’d rather have that 80series than any modern 4x4 vehicle. Hence i’ll never sell my 04 GU coil cab ute Td42ti that i bought from new, it’s just been so reliable. I hope ya keep this one safe & alarmed, locked up, tracking device, immobilisers, pedal locks, what else?.

Question. What amount is it insured for?

Doesn't take much to beat a 79 😅

[@beardmoto]

where are you getting $400 for the hurrican seat adaptors from? they're $170 per pair + post on the website! 🤣

[@kooskustoms]

He may be adding labour for install and maybe misc hardware involved also. Thats my guess anwyay

[@jymjess]

Do like your complete honesty recommending people dont spend 200 on a 80 series 🤣😬

[@MrSnakekaplan]

Well.. Respect the honesty. As ridiculous as this is, people actually spend more on 79's that are still shit at the end of the day. Everybody, the most important trick to 4WD's, is picking the right one for your needs. Don't SAS a Hilux to rock crawl, don't buy a 79 to tour, etc.

[@StrugeLabs]

worth it. f the new cruisers unless you were going with a new 79.. build on that would be 100k usd

[@micktaylorwolfcreekmechanical]

7K for the wrap do you wish you had of spent a bit extra on a full inside and outside respray?

[@jimmyrecard8428]

That insurance job helped a lot with the cost of the 80….. 🤔🤔😉😉

[@keilfestin4606]

Worth every penny ❤❤❤ better than 79.. is this sponsored or your own money ? Majority

[@ThatKidsChannel]

Impressive that you got an 80 series for 10k anyway!

[@jessestracey4425]

It's taken me a bit to enjoy your content but 1 thing I can say is your a funny cunt and you work hard (massive props ). If this build came to 200k, it would for sure cost you minimum 100k out of your pocket and for you to do this after losing the 40 is phenomenal. Pat yourself on the back because you deserve it for this dedication cobba 🤙 your a better man than most for what you have done ❤

Thanks for sticking around bro 🎉

No different to sending a old Holden or ford to a good quality reso panel beater, can easily eat 100k into an restoration when dealing with body work ect

Are you ever going to use it, or is it a show pony ?

[@kateotoole6690]

Best 4WD Ever Built!

[@toyotalandcruiser80]

It turned out to be sweet, but bro this is a very expensive tuning, and I don’t understand why everything is so expensive here in Australia. For example, a cylinder block gasket is $600-700, what is it made of, gold-plated? the original one is cheap. It’s not surprising that cars like this are often stolen there.
