Covering panel preparation, rust repair, bodywork, panel beating, and spray painting - let's take the tired old red lux rig and turn her into a timeless classic!

Funny how these blokes deliver better series than Netflix

[@conservativesniperhunter7439]

Jocko sure knows his stuff. Anyone working with the big guy could learn a lot in no time flat.

[@johnmichaelquizon4015]

You've got me on the edge of my seat waiting for the next episode/s for this build series. It's great that Jock & Jesse are getting the spotlight to showcase what they are truly passionate about!

[@1993Revhead]

Jock'os definitely that one mate who always loves old hiluxs.

[@Jeep.wj.tj.australia]

Just a little tip always find somewhere to lay your door cards flat to store them stops them from bending and making it harder to fit nicely later 👍🏻

[@task82]

Awesome video!! Love seeing Jocko (and Jesse) getting his own build series!! Can't wait for the rest of the episodes!!

[@4WD247]

More to come!

[@jamesthompson5581]

I’m absolutely loving this resto series. Frothing to see how it turns out. Keep it up Jocko!

[@iamrichieb]

So good to see a full resto happening on the channel. Can't wait to see this thing when it's finished 👌

[@chavotapia3168]

I am blessed to own an 83, and my dream is to restore it just as immaculately but on a friendly budget. I truly have no major experience with any type of tools, but anything can be done with want and desire. I just have to work slowly and methodically. I'm super excited about this build, and now I have a complete how-to video thanks to this channel. Thank you very much, and God bless your channel. 🙏 I look forward to all your upcoming videos!!!! 😊

[@daveyroach4765]

Thanks Jocko for allowing us at Blasting Painting Services to be a part of your project. Looking forward to sending you some footage the final product once we have finished sandblasting and applying some primer. Great to meet you guys!!. Thanks again also Damo. Good to see you again mate.

[@aerynlovell4754]

I like this detailed step by step-by-step video. Most restorations skip the smaller details because they assume everyone knows how it's done. I am looking forward to seeing the next video. After all the work is done I hope you keep it as a daily driver or touring rig so it doesn't get beat up on tough tracks.

[@spoonfed8750]

Can’t wait to see the end results of all the builds coming up! Jesses GU will be an animal and Jockos hilux will be a neat one, maybe to go out and do some old school wheeling with Shaunos OG dirty thirty comeback! Keep up the awesome work! 😃

[@4WD247]

Heaps of exciting projects on the go!

[@JoshuaLeader-qj4on]

​@@4WD247I have a 1981 Toyota Hilux with a 253 v8

[@vassantnaique2763]

Love from India 🇮🇳

[@norrishastewart9062]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video 😊

[@meisterpinko9660]

Love these build episodes. Between the red-lux and The GUBMW surely we can get more consistent uploads!!

[@waynewayne-kv2fk]

The rust you call “rust “ is pristine condition to us in the uk ..

[@ledermanrobert]

Thanks for taking us along for the ride of restoring this nice ute! 💪😃

[@shornandkenny]

I was born and raised in one of these. My dad bought a brand new 82 short box/cab brand new the year i was born! Great! Cheers from Canada!

[@r3f1j1]

This is Gold. Keep em comin. I miss clips like the 4WD Action of old. Catering to blokes that wanna have a crack instead of the blokes that need the "do not drink brake fluid" sticker.

[@adamsfly6212]

Absolutely love watching this. One of my favorite 4wd machines, and my first Toyota, was a '79 Hilux. Would love to find another one to restore. Looking forward to more episodes.

[@hardlydavidson1937]

It's great to see you're restoring the old hilux as there getting harder to find without to much rust. It's awesome to finally see it's been a long time waiting for this

[@mcdoogle456]

Thanks mate! looking forward to getting it done - Jocko

[@Jyden_Carmody]

Cant wait to see this build finished! Gotta love old 4wds!

[@NateH-qd7bm]

Jock I can't wait for the ending results of this incredible build

[@mcdoogle456]

Thanks mate! - Jocko

[@paulw9293]

The vehicle type doesn't matter, it's super interesting to see how this all comes apart, gets worked on, then goes back together. That last bit is always the part I get wrong 😂...

[@nolz262]

This has come at the perfect time, I’m currently looking at a 81 hilux to restore and this is just pure motivation 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@4wdsofaustralia]

Keen to see the end result of this build!🤩

[@aza013]

It’s so good to see the old lux getting the love it deserves 👍🏻🥃🥃

[@blaynebedsole7065]

So glad to see some Hilux builds . I have a 1989 Hilux I've been working on for a long time and just love this lil 4x4

[@kennethwatson2492]

I am LOVING this build Joc!

[@alexkaranja1308]

As I watch this, I a just glad that someone on the other side of earth loves Hiluxes as much as I do and if fate takes me to Australia, I'd be more than stoked to meet up with this fellow enthusiast. All the best mate,

[@munnsie100]

Very keen to see the next episodes, great to see such detailed advice and recommendations. Very glad to see this Hilux being given a second chance.

[@angeldawnmorningstar]

Omgggggg ! Yesssss ! ! 😎 0:41 ~ that was a Texas truck (red) it has Texas plates and registration sticker on the winshield .. WooHoo ! ! a big ol' HOWDY from Stagecoach , Texas 😇❤

[@iainhetherington4608]

I’m looking forward to this , I had one of these brand new when I first left school 2L petrol , I can’t remember how much money I wasted on it , lift , tyres wheels paint exhaust etc ,it was the burnt orange colour loved it , they would go anywhere because their power to weight ratio was good, only real problem was corrosion in the tub Good luck with the build Cheers

[@jacofourie3324]

Awesome build Jock. Gives me some inspiration to continue the rest of my own build. Lots of body as well as mechanical jobbies to be done. Thank you and keep it up mate!!!

[@michelbelledent5781]

Great job Jocko, I love these (and trackside repairs), feel like I learn so much. Keep it up!

[@NAStheNomad]

Great video, you looked so happy. Thank you for sharing 👍🏼

[@wanderingtundra6310]

Great seeing you make so progress on the old girl Jacko. Can't wait for update videos.

[@wagonteeth4837]

Love it. My dad gave me his 82 hilux lwb 4x4 in 87. I drove it for near 20 years.

[@jaydenseierup3986]

Now that jocks finally getting this old girl back up and running again whould make for a grate episode to get the luxsy the dirty 30 and shorty and have all 3 do a trip together again whould be awesome

[@adrianborcherds]

Love this series! Hope to see the other episodes soon! My son and I have two hilux that we are doing up, a ‘80 first gen single cab long bed and a ‘85 second gen xtra cab.

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

Love a Luxy so this was a treat. Thanks for sharing.

[@quackstopr]

So stoked for this series.

[@JoshH44]

This is the kind of build we like to see. Good stuff 👍🏽👍🏽

[@rafadaranger]

This video is amazing! Very nice editing on the video, the fast pace on the beginning hooks the viewer 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thanks for sharing great content

[@yhvhsdaughter6435]

I'm enjoying this rebuild series as well as Jesse's rebuild series more than the dirty 30 rebuild series I think because they are home garage jobs with specific explanations on exactly what is happening with more people in this position themselves with home rebuilds. Nice one Jock. Keep up with these types of rebuild series and the 1m subscribers may end up 2m 👍🏻

[@chasemorace161]

That thing will be a gem when it's finished

[@andrewskidmore5963]

Please put that brush bar on the big rig with a pair of old KC lights😍

[@jyecraig161]

How good I’ve got the same hilux and am doing the same with it atm how bloody good legend’s 👍🏼

[@Tilpants]

As a panel beater, I'm not jealous of all the work you'll have to do, but I'll be jealous of the end product, well done team!

[@jaydankowalski3817]

Loving the build Jocko! Being an apprentice trimmer myself, I would love to know wether any interior work is being done on the lux (headlining, seats, dash) would be a good idea for a different video too if you can get someone experienced in to give some tips and tricks.

[@mcdoogle456]

Thanks mate! looking forward to the retrimming side of things - Jocko

[@christostatarakis5264]

Loving the Red retro restoration 🛻💯👀💕

[@marksmith3631]

Loving this EP Jocko. Currently doing a "clean up" on my GU - and using your info as ref. Watching with alot of interest. Cheers Jocko - stick with it

[@onetwentyeight]

Nice. Look at the classic Red Marlin Crawler truck for inspiration, that thing is an icon in my world. I believe his is a 1980 but same body style. I've got an 85 4runner that just got back on the road/trail last winter after a 2 year rebuild. Upgraded engine and drivetrain, dual tcases, high steer conversion, upgraded brakes, lift, tube work... Toyota minitrucks are the best. Definitely will be watching to see where this project goes.

[@mcdoogle456]

Its definitely inspiration mate! that thing is a beast - Jocko

[@FAILStudios95]

So stoked to see more of this, just when I've started lookin for an old hilux too 😍

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always 4WD 24/7 Crew.

[@thatguyinthe8138]

It’s really hard to find people like Damien and Sam that still do the proper ways, not cutting corners and have all that knowledge they have accumulated over their years in the trade. Really keen to see the end result of this resto 👍

[@wayneshannon3028]

Planning on doing the same thing to my D22 Navara, had it for three years still waiting on tools and parts, thanks for the vids mate can't wait to see it finished, cheers take care 😁👍

[@electronicshaman]

Great to see some more progress, looking forward to the next episode!

[@zerinlockington2902]

"That's not goin anywhere". Most important line that must be said to ensure it will never fall off.

[@adamleyon8297]

beautiful stuff, cant wait to see more of this until its finished

[@ryanbennett5228]

Glad it's not me but super satisfying to watch all that old paint come off!

[@victorrosario4109]

What a awesome TIP tuck the cord under your arms. Priceless. lol

[@kuluinmufflers4100]

This build is epic. Can't wait for the next episode

[@michaelfields4166]

great video, can't wait for the rest of the build.

[@kitchosgarage]

Another tip: After all your panels are primed up, refit the lot to the vehicle to get the gaps, alignment and body lines perfect as you panelbeat and repair dents. No doubt Damo and Sam will be all over this part of the resto process though! Loving this series, keep up the good work. 👍

[@cypressking22]

i love these diy budget rebuilds

[@joannehart9624]

My first 4x4 was a brand new 1980 Toyota long bed. I loved the factory flared fenders and the round headlights. Never thought square headlights looked right on the Toyotas or the Jeeps. I've not been without a 4x4 since then. 🙂

[@nicopostigo123]

Great video guys!

[@rowantowers6304]

Looking good lads.... Nice to see some KZbin bodywork getting done properly. I've been panel beating for years and I swear by Brunox.

[@tony15869]

Looking forward to the next one going be great series to watch, think this should be your next tourer

[@MAXTEDFING]

A hilux, what a surprise. Really varied content lol

[@MrListentothebass]

Some of us really like Hiluxes though haha

[@replicant357]

The smile !!! Fantastic ❤

[@Darndiddlyarn]

One of my tricks for wire brushing into hard to reach corners ect is a bit of wire rope in the drill, it can go inside things around corners.

[@EdwinSnoozy]

God I wish I owned a epic 4WD, would love to own an absolute mad 4WD to go touring around Australia. You boys certainly dragged me into buying a 4WD, I can’t wait and I love it.

[@tinajensen3450]

Love to see more from your build ❤, greetings from denmark 😊🇩🇰

[@ckvonpickles3751]

Back in the day, de-seamed minis were the bomb, this luxy is almost screaming for de-seaming

[@Bendover-pz1sx]

I had a 1980. Petrol 4x4. I put a 308 in it 400 turbo tranny had cruiser diff centers and hilux axles. Cost me alot of money. Awesome machine.

[@nazgo9061]

Can't wait for this to be Finish 😊

[@paulmccallum6965]

I'm so excited for this series. Problem is though, I'm going to want to do my own afterwards.

[@eliascn4243]

You show of Life the lux like it was 7 years ago but looks really good

[@apple9827]

My father's isuzu bighorn under the driver side it had a HUGE hole fro rusts, we never noticed it until we removed the seat to deep clean it. He instantly bought it to the shop to get it welded. We were very very lucky that nothing happened while driving

[@jeff6732]

Nice job bro. Great video. You know your stuff.

[@user-kh7fd7wv1y]

Hi from Philippines I love watching your video

[@OffroadTouringLife]

Another great resto coming together.

[@imeldane]

Will eagerly wait for the next episode. I have the same hilux!

[@PaulEglinton]

A worthy cause. A Fantastic vehicle

[@warkal868]

Would be nice to see some D22 Frontiers, Xtrails, J Series Jeeps, Prados and Bighorns for a change

[@samyeomans6710]

All the good builds are Happening now

[@TheBikeMechanic]

Are you telling me that we've been listening to you for seven years..... good lord ..... i swear it was like two or three at most!

[@skuzy1082]

perfect build video

[@SootyDiesel81]

The tan paint ❤👌

[@zaxpage9003]

I owned an 86 2wd for about 15 years. Hands down the best truck I've ever had.

[@genuinestance387]

Sounds like it’s the only one you’ve had

[@kar428]

Great quality video

[@lefirme7776]

Gracias, aprendiendo tus técnicas desde colombia! Ansioso por tu nuevo video!

[@MrTubeuser12]

luv these build videos, more please 👍

[@LarsonBruno-ub4ep]

Really creative

[@zacjohnson869]

Looking forward to this one 👌

[@idratherbeoutdoors715]

Absolutely loved this Lux and happy you are restoring her. Your garage is a hilux lovers wet dream Jock 😂

[@mcdoogle456]

Thanks mate! not yet but it'll get there i reckon! haha - Jocko

[@brockeighty]

Awesome timing for this build I’m building an ln46 at the moment using a ln40 (2wd version) as a donor car.

[@rickyclarke8657]

Great job
