Building my dream 4WD in 20 minutes! Nissan Patrol complete build

[@FJUH]

Love that you built an older vehicle. It’s a great project and better than the multitude of new builds out there. You can’t beat driving an older, simpler 4wd!👍

[@TylerThompson90]

For sure!

My 98' Patrol td42 is just around 300k kms mileage. Loving it!! Really durable

[@natmansmash]

You're such a breath of fresh air in the middle of the KZbin 4x4 vid glut. Down to earth vids, and just good, good content. Keep showing more of the tracks you're driving, one thing I noticed with shows like 4x4 24/7, while they're fun to watch, they only show a few obstacles on a track, not what the track is actually like to drive. Like on your Fraser trips, your vids were more informative, because you showed more of track, I really liked it. Also your Dad is a legend, I had a great chat with him at the Brissy 4x4 show, we chatted about drifting, 4x4s and fishing, I was heading up to Fraser Coast after the show on Sat. I really love you guys, and wish you all the best.

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate, appreciate the feedback and support!

[@damian31746]

Great video mate. It's a breath of fresh air to see someone so realistic. Always plenty of negativity from the keyboard warriors. You only have to see the comments when people advertise their rigs for sale. Some people have literary no idea. I'm not surprised at all over the total cost. There's a hell of a lot of work and parts gone into it. Well done and keep up the awesome work!

[@jasondaley6723]

You're always transparent with everything and the cost of $80k who cares look at the enjoyment the truck has brought you, the places the people the content and the traffic on the channel

[@BWD81]

Hi mate, i'm from Borneo.. your built project nissan patrol upgrade/modified super awesome.. 19:54 nice beard you have there mate.. keep it up good work. and god bless ✌🏻🍻

[@fatmanoverlanding]

💲💲💲💲😮😮😮 Whoa! Definitely not a budget build rig.

[@brendonfleetwood6069]

Respects to this build. One of the first cars my dad and I fixed up was a 1995 Patrol. We had 5 various iterations of the Patrol throughout the years and loved each one, ending on the Y61 P74. South Africa here saying hi

[@Azazel518]

The overhead, shot at 19:35 I just saw fire to fork getting there in his Delica looks like an amazing place to visit..tough to get there. great vid!

[@jontait6923]

The true worth is spending time doing what you love with your family. That is priceless mate

[@dolguldur4706]

Nick is a legend...i love him,his vibe....and knowledge..top bloke 🤘🏻

[@dylb2858]

Don’t feel shame on what it cost mate, like you said besides it being your passion it’s your job as well. Watching the build was awesome and the Tassie trip was one of the best series I’ve seen. Keep it up legend

[@TylerThompson90]

Thank you!

[@shaddonaghue]

Awesome overview, it’s actually cheaper than I thought. Most people spend that just buying a car but you have a fully capable car now with all the work done , i think you done the better option. There is no way I’m adding up what mine cost and it doesn’t have all that work 😂😂. Definitely one bush ready rig 👍👍🤠

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@ethancameron8095]

What would you say is the best car to get 4wd? I don't wanna spend a lot for my first proper rig, and I don't know much to get the work done myself.

[@TigerTigz.]

​@@TylerThompson90nice truck.

[@imanoob5201]

probably cost 100 grand in labour so definitely not cheap at all

[@steeleheraud3496]

Thanks for being honest about the cost. I know you’ll get people talking shit about the “average bloke”… don’t worry about it. Most blokes don’t have a KZbin channel, don’t have the motivation let alone the money to do what you’ve done. Enjoy it mate.

[@dhulgariir]

The best Nissan petrol 4x4 ever build Very strong suv for all the seasons

[@RollerGuideX]

Great series of vids Tyler. Inspiring stuff. The TD42 is a legendary and near bullet proof motor. They don't make them like that no more. All era of electronics, cost and fuel efficiency has driven these vehicles out.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@-PORK-CHOP-]

Patrol looks unreal, the money is nobody's concern except yours, if it's for your job and your passion go for it, after all it's your money you can do with it whatever makes you happy, this is why we have jobs to pay for our toys 👍👍

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@DailyGrindAus]

I think that you have to add that the places your rigs take you and the family are priceless, and that is much of a drawcard as how you got there.

[@WaitWhat99]

Lets be honest… Its an EPIC rig and still cheaper than a stock 79. Its a no brainer. Looks mint, sounds mint, preforms mint. 👏👏👏

[@ryanc.9068]

Came here to say exactly this, could not agree more that thing is a bloody weapon!!!

[@nickathos7428]

🎯

[@MonsterMick]

Its 100% an epic rig. But 80k not including labour for the work done makes that (at a guess) a $120k car with 680,000km on the motor. It’s not even close to cheaper than a stock 79.

[@courtneyfawcett4685]

​@@MonsterMickway more awesome though

[@WhatMACHI]

What a fun build series! Looks like a bunch of time, effort and passion went into this. The video was so well done too 👍

[@363TOMTOM363]

Quality parts defiantely add up quickly which can make us question if it's worth it but watching it get thrashed on some tough Tassie tracks definately justified every cent. Good stuff mate, I'm keen as to see more GQ stuff going forward

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@Sovoxz]

I'm from PNG and I love Nissan Patrol Y60... Love the build... Such a cool 4x4

[@LargeGSX1400]

So, with labor and without sponsorship deals you're talking about $100k+ for the average punter. How much of that is going to be a tax write-off for your business? Congrats on the car to yourself and Demi, it's not something I would drop that much cash into but it was your dream and you've made it come true.

[@Brendan-mn4rz]

That’s a bloody good question mate,I mean good on him for being sponsored or being able to put whatever thru a business,the true cost is what we really want to know

[@rhysbertrand8903]

He probably means without his own labour. 70k would be all of his receipts etc, I priced up the build as a guess based off my own experience before he dropped the price and I guessed about 70k too. He spent a lot of money on things you can do yourself, and paint. You could easily half the cost of this build. I'm doing my single cab by myself, which includes a coil conversion. Chassis - 1k, full coil kit and some upgrades - 4k, quick azz cooling, 1k, turbo and intercooler incl pipe work, 5k, interior seats, rails, sound dead, carpet, steering wheel etc 1k, sound system 1k, etc. You can do it for 20k, ignoring all the things you don't need like crazy bar work, party lights, alternator, 12v, full paint, all new seals etc.

[@ginberlykickit731]

100 gran for new 23/24 stock 4wd

[@djcm_223]

100k for a cruiser with a canopy 😂

[@lukaslt88]

That is ridiculous 100k for a gq patrol

[@myhandleurl]

This is the most Australian thing I have seen all year 😃 Loved this

[@frankspinella250]

Hi Tyler great vid…although the rig cost $70k, however having Nick working on it was priceless!!! I actually enjoyed Nicks comments more than the build lol By the way I believe a new v6 ranger cost $75k. I would prefer the GQ you built everyday of the week!

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate!

[@gregdogg10]

Actually cost $120k

[@Bush-Tv]

Absolute weapon mate. Totally agree, This is what you do and you do it well. keep up the awesome work brother 👍👍

[@TylerThompson90]

Thank you!

[@TigerTigz.]

You do them up nicely in Australia.

[@NorthOz]

Great vid Tyler and we appreciate the transparency. I’m doing a budget GU patrol build now and I’m finding it isn’t as popular as my other videos. It could be just my circumstance but people definitely gravitate to the all out builds like this. If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear it. At the end of the day, I’m enjoying what I’m doing and I will keep making the budget build videos because it’s something I like doing. Your trips with this rig has been a lot of fun. You are definitely where I want to be in the future as your channel is very inspiring. Mark from cairns 🤙

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, appreciate it!

[@hugolaertis9364]

Nissan patrol is the best four by four ever made i bought one 1983 they just come in market when sold it had half million K know break down just love that 4x4.

[@leonardbevitt7830]

I hate how ppl justify things… the only justification is.. this is what I want.. this is what I do… it’s a nice rig mate.. very happy that your dream is a reality

[@HammerRocks]

It's fantastic that your channel is finding great success that its afforded you not one, but two expensive rig builds. Onya mate. 👍

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate

[@drepagaming]

I think I watch these videos just for the accents. I love it.

[@bigoz1734]

People are salty and pathetic over the cost and that you got your build sponsored. Like as if it was totally free without any work from you. But you've spent years building this channel and investing your own money well before you were sponsored to build your name to earn the privelidge to work with sponsors and workshops for a reduced cost. Plus the advertising and promotion you bring to their businesses in a highly competitive and social media driven world is priceless. They know this and choose to work with you for that agreement. People need to get off their high horses about content creators and their sponsored builds. Yes it costs money. And no they wont sponsor every P plater in Townsville with a GQ. And if businesses like HPD and superior, which aren't run by toddlers, choose openly to run their products with you then they must see some personal value and investment in you and the channel. Good on you tyler for building a unique and very comprehensive vehicle, showcasing what can be done and creating free consistent high quality content on this platform.

[@simonpeel7490]

Spot on, well said 😁

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, appreciate it!

[@harryridley2714]

Congratulations on the build legend , one of a kind beast .. only live once .. enjoy ✊🏽

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate

[@cyclemoto8744]

Didn't read the title at first and was thinking wtf, bought another GQ. Great idea doing this montage, thanks Tyler. Cheers

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate

[@Knotaro_bot]

your mechanic mate is a bloody legend

[@ero4real]

Dream come true. I hope you have wonderful time with the car.

[@jamestanner9198]

I'm doing a 2001 TD 42 at the moment and I won't be spending that much. Just new suspension 3 core radiator. Catch can rebuilt the swivel hubs.all new fluids wheels tyres catch can . Oils alone was $500 It adds up fast. But it will do what I want. Great honest vid.

[@cobyfield9237]

Honestly people need to realise there's a difference between general maintenance and actually "building" it with new fancy parts. Swivel hubs are general maintenance, a cheap GQ you'd expect to have to do that. At least you know it was done fresh and not hearsay by the previous owner.

[@glennboy66]

Only live once, keep up the good work. Love the GQ, mines like a budget build of yours.

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers!

[@robertbrowne5520]

Awesome work mate!! Keep putting out the videos of the land cruiser recovery vehicles!!

[@sanithmx9641]

i never expected a land cruiser could be a beast like this.....

[@BrokenSprocket]

Your videos get better and better.

[@ClaytonCookpanda]

spot on! I guessed 60-70k. if you've built 4x4s you know how quick it adds up.

[@jmac822]

The GQ was a great build series Tyler, really enjoyed it mate.

[@MattsPhotographyAU]

Nice wrap up mate, got yourself a unique, well thought out and built GQ. Love all of the highlights you would have spent a fair bit of time pulling together for a good laugh all the way through thanks to the team at S&P. Looking forward to more of your adventures in it.

[@TylerThompson90]

Appreciate it mate!

[@trevorawcock9903]

Looks great ,the rose gold ain’t my thing but it’s your rig done your way so I can respect that..As for price the 79 crowd would’ve spent close to twice that and only had a cab chassis with genuine Toyota radio, and then poured another $80,000 into it ..She looks great a credit to you and boys how help along the way 👍👍👍Enjoy

[@baaboodaalaakoos]

my dream offroad vehicle...gr8 effort dude...shout out from persia

[@TylerThompson90]

Glad you liked it!

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, it doesn’t matter what it cost and to be honest that’s your business, it’s what you wanted and what you got, great build but now I need to go and see if I can get a cookie😉😂, cheers

[@Pablo_exe]

that rose gold accents look sick... noice choice

[@JasonR1998]

Keep up the good work Tyler! Glad to see you enjoying life and your passion making great memories. Love your videos like always.

[@andrewarchipow6687]

Well done again Tyler. I'm not a Nissan guy, but I want 1.

[@craiggillphotography8030]

That’s good value! Unstoppable rig. People spend that on a hilux to go shopping

[@bintox3633]

We work hard to invest in our hobbies and the things we love doing. What’s the point of life if we don’t live it. Love the rig and your passion bud.

[@nosignal88]

Pretty good for 80k mate thought might have cracked the 100k mark to be honest... been bere since the beginning keep it up Tyler and gang. Been here since you commented on everyones thoughts haha 😂

[@CRN8091]

Great rig mate, still not keen on the rose gold though 😂

[@javierr1blue]

Thank you for the video bro !! I love the SUV love it. cheers from Texas

[@steph9445]

Great build, beautiful truck. Colors look great too. Having built a few jeeps in Canada over the years , you spending 70k in parts doesn’t seem so bad. Quality parts cost big money..just how it is. Keep up the good work 👌

[@neilheyward2599]

If this is your job, I love your work Tyler. It was great following this build👍👍

[@ObieForceGaming]

realistically 80k for a fully setup rig that's ready for the absolute hardest and toughest tracks and will go for several more hundreds of thousands of kms then will need a 10k rebuild and good to go for anout 500k. well worth doing this to this level of quality over getting a brand new stock PoS off the floor that will then still need more money. well worth it in my eyes, fckn hectic build boss.

[@deinbleiz]

Awesome built. Thanks for sharing. Hope you’re having many more adventures.

[@clarkiman]

Must be nice having sponsors! I wish this was achievable for the blue collar worker

[@Jeremy.huntnzld]

Keep up the good work Tyler , loved following this build and the adventures afterwards,own a shorty myself. Build was cheaper than I expected to be fair. Keep living the dream mate 👌👍

Awesome work mate it’s a beast

[@MartinVerhey-j3w]

Mine cost 5 grand and I think with out getting the calculator out I’ve spent around 25 grand on modifications and now I’m a ls swap so that figure will keep climbing . Oh I live I Tassie and we do have some awesome tracks

[@leonidesdenapo1942]

I very much like your GQ car so strong and good looking😊 it's a big big big yes for me

[@Borgia5119]

I’ve got this exact vehicle almost looking the same with mods in snowrunner right now. Hope I can afford to custom my own suv some day

[@Alaskabuilt_]

That’s $52,000 in American money. That’s about right for top quality build. I have $30,000 into my 96 Toyota T100 and I’m not even close to done. Will definitely have another $20,000 in her by the time I’m done.

[@abeladams8163]

The good thing, you're happy

[@mikeirons9755]

It's all good tyler, the $100 whip adds $10k to the value easy.

[@jdcoverland365]

Tyler: I am building myself. I am building an Global Overland rig off of a pickup frame 350-550 Dodge or Ford. You call them UTE's we call them flat decks. Here are my thoughts on the most asked questions. There are two questions we all seem to get asked and these revolve around sanitation and cost. Cost is IMHO almost Impossible to deal with, because of several factors. 1) Most of us work on our rigs. What is your time worth? How much is your friends help worth? Then we have food and "beverage" costs. 2.) Define time . Time is NOT just wrench work, it involves planning and assembly of all things used. 3) The cost of your base platform.4.) Shop tools. What would it cost to purchase every tool that was used with a new one ? IE: I own a welder, but may have to purchase another unit as mine is to small. This adds 2k to my costs. How many cutting discs did you go through? Did you have these prior to the build? 5.) What did you already own? ( IE radios, sound systems, fridges, Maxtrax. To replace that costs? 6.) Items either purchased second hand, on sale, or sponsor donations, freebees. The big item is work "farmed out". [Read: I don't have the skills to build a legal roll cage, therefore this gets farmed out.] I can't see this project coming in at anything under 150k. Why, because I still need to purchase my aluminum and all the things that go with this like Sikaflex and Foamular 250 , PL Premium etc. for my "habitat" and the base vehicle unit and not including the bills not counted as of this writing, OR ANY of my time, I have spent CDN CDN/AUD $21,600. The Aluminum will set me back about $ 13k minimum. Nice build Have fun on Fraser Island, and remember to lock your hubs BEFORE leaving the barge or you may end up in a photo like the one I took of a guy bogged to the frame. OOPS.

[@mikemorgan4670]

Such an awesome build process and incredible result!!

[@nigel_ivy]

Great video dude! And sweet truck! Well done!

[@paulsmit8147]

[@Marleygrubby]

Awesome awesome video mate loved seeing it at the Brisbane 4x4 show stunner of a rig and when people ask why we Poor all of our money into these cars it’s because we love it mate 🔥

[@maverick2242]

Mate thanks for the insight re costs, appreciate it, frankly I’d rather spend 80k on a GQ or 80s or a 40/60s than a Ranger/Hilux or some other DC or 250k plus on a 76/78/79 200/300 or 300k plus on a Ram/Yank Tank or Euro thingy so imo it’s worth every cent for ya passion, same with the big budgets if that’s what people are into, but I’d rather have 3 of yours to one of them, look forward to seeing the budget build truck, hopefully another GQ for comparison, though wouldn’t be upset seeing a Toyota in there hint hint maybe an 80 eh 1HD-T. Need something comparable to the 70k build rig in terms of base. Anyways that should be epic, also be good to see you on the spanners some more on that one, ya had the professional training from the best now too, cheers mate love ya work, just please please no more Rose Gold, one is enough🤣🍻

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate!

[@ZDatsunBoy]
