This is the best build of the channel.

[@hardlydavidson1937]

Well done Jocko been a long time waiting for these episodes. Also awesome to see you giving it a go yourself but always helps when you have the guidance from a experience person. I can't wait to see it back on the road Jocko. These episodes are way more interesting than any new builds.

[@charliebarnett7380]

Mate, need more episodes like these awesome work jock!

[@castlelowanna8626]

this episode went too quick, I was so involved in it. great work Jocko!. that HILUX is going to look awersome.

[@OswaldMangor]

I love everything you guys did on the Hilux, wish I could ship my Hilux over for you to rebuild. Good stuff.

Absolutely love this ep! Hoping to find an old hilux myself to do up and break into 4x4. Seems to be the hardest thing to find a decent luxy with the limited funds and ability I have! Can't wait for the next ep

[@walkaboutmotors]

Great work Jocko!!!! Loved how you jumped in and just learned!!!!! That's what it's all about and it's so much fun and very rewarding when you see the project start to come together!!!

Always so much work in restoring cars. Have to be diligent in the work and the process

[@electronicshaman]

Great to see some more progress. Looking forward to seeing more, well done Jocko!

[@johnwitte551]

some good tips there Jocko! the only other thing I would say is 1, have moisture trap on the compressor and 2, try not to spray on a day that is too humid.

[@AndrewTinWA]

Good answer re not sandblasting saving time avoiding repairs. But you can always just use a sandblasting service with skilled operators who know how to do it without damaging things.

[@13harward]

Well done Jocko, good to see someone just jump in and give it a go, good on you - very impressive. 🤝🙌

honestly great. ive just done all this myself on my old LN65 duel cab and its great to see new ways to do things, great work jocko

[@Simon_Says_95]

Amazing effort! Can't wait to see the finished Project!

[@FuManchu5ltr]

Always seal the metal surface before moving to bog or any panel repairs. If one of Australia’s best street machine builders, Howard Astill, does it then there’s no argument about it. He goes through that process in his BossXC build series.

[@karldear5200]

Why no lockers? If you sent the diff centres out to be reconed anyway would it not have been worth fitting lockers while they were all out

Looks good Jock! Need a “chassy” counter though 😂

That’s not a crow bar, that’s a jimmy bar. Crow bars are long bars about 6-5 foot long with a chisel head and a hammering surface on the other side. Very useful for digging holes or removing concrete.

Great way to handle all the arm chair panel and paint experts. Great episode.

[@matt-xc4vr]

looks great jocko

[@chriswalker499]

When you finish this project. Would it be a good idea to do a head to head of all the generations of hilux from the first 4wd hilux's in the early 80's to present day. The 09-15 n70s have several differences between them.

[@Dale_D589]

Yes!

[@_Phntm_-bx6qr]

from a guy who's dad is a professional panel beater and done a bit of panel beating on my nl65 (my pfp) you've actaully done a pretty good job.

[@outdora_explorer4705]

Question on the chassis.. If it’s a full restoration and longevity is in mind. Why didn’t you go with the option of galvanising it after the repairs.? As that would’ve also completely protected the inside of the chassis as well..

[@philippusmeyer82]

Reaylly enjoyed the hammer and dolley shrinking after welding the mirror holes.

[@jonnewton5929]

Yeah gotta agree, pro work on the video today guys. I hope you can find the original sticker kit for the old rig. It needs the original pin stripes mate. Cheers

[@ClarkyXPH]

Cab and tub look so cool lined up together. This is going to be a mint show car to tour around the shows this year hopefully. What are we thinking retro wheels and tyres like the farm truck? Or a bit more width like a modern set up? Either way it’s going to be great to see in real life. Chrome hub caps I reckon.

[@BogDustForBreakfast]

@23:12 , or you can guide coat it , block it with 120. find your inperfections , then body fill them . that way you not sanding off your texta and loosing the dents , the dents will be visable in guide coat

[@feral4mr2]

Yes, I like to guide coat the epoxy primer before bog.

[@bigredbushcraft5343]

I’m embarrassed to say I’ve only just discovered your page and it’s great content. I’ve watched 3 of your “adventures” and look forward to watching more. What I am struggling with as obviously I’m trying to watch older content, is what order things are in as sometimes the next episode isn’t in date order. Do you have and it’s hard to work out which episodes continue as the titles seems fairly random. Am I missing something obvious? Anyway keep up great work! !

[@marksmith3631]

Well done Jocko -lets see more of it. A question a get asked alot by the local kids is diff rebuilds. How about a diff rebuild end to end.

[@Jyden_Carmody]

Bloody finally! YEW!

[@jasonout8470]

Loving this build and motivating me to continue to work on mine, my only question is why do oxy welding over mig, stick it tig welding, is there a benefit or just what's currently available?

This is awesome. Great job Jocko. Would love to know exactly how many total hours was put in by everyone when the jobs complete

[@luked237]

Great work guys. I’m just curious about the gas welding mainly as I tig and mig everything would it not heat the panel excessively? Not a dog just curious 😊

[@Motomates-]

Awesome!

[@samsymes475]

Honestly couldn't wait for my body work to be done with! I hated the repeatitive process of one step closer sand it off one step sand it off 😒 but in the end happy with end result! Then rolled Ute out of shed and storm came through home and threw a tree branch onto my fresh cab and back to step one 😅 just leaving it now because not going through it again

[@elwoodhewitt]

Here in Canada we would have the concern of rust inside the boxed frame, do you guys have any concern about that down under? If so how do you check and then treat/ repair? Up here we undercoat the entire underside of car before each winter, as I do it myself I make sure to hit the inside of the frame front to rear. Salted roads can kill a frame/ panels over time. Cheers!

[@richlawrence4160]

Same question, while in OZ we do not get snow, salt etc we do get rust. I have seen many rust repairs, they all have bare metal on the inside. Curious, how do they rust proof/paint the inside of the panel and the frames?

[@ashdog7948]

Please do another episode of this please

[@electro1622]

You should have gone for the smooth clossy texture on the raptor coat on the chassis Jocko.... getting the mud and dirt off a wrinkle finish is pretty hard and it's hard to get it to look clean...

[@videowsatcher]

Looks like a great build. I wonder what is the expense vs a newer, better condition Hilux (vs what condition this Hilux was at the beginning).

[@Jan-pw4po]

Looking great, what engine did the Toyota original come with from the factory

[@J08HY]

We need more eps and quick!

[@noahjbarr]

The OEM yellow would come up mint👌

[@adrian2498]

Great video love to see the progress on the hilux. But I just have to say that don't weld up your car panels like that. Use a short burst of mig with a air gun and you will not Warp the panel in the first place! Again thanks for the up date.

[@fatmanoverlanding]

Will you be sharing the total cost of this restoration once completed? Including the cost of the items you got for free?

[@gregorygene9003]

Hey @Jocko. How can you get a ground from the chassis if it is fully civered with raptor. I suggest that you install the grounding wires prior to raptor.

[@franklutton7149]

spray bog was around 30 years ago. It was the last coat to go on before paint. Was sprayed on followed by a dusting of guide coat.... wet rubbed back and done.... ready for paint prep...... edit : just watching now the follow up..... things havnt changed in a long time.... another edit: i mentioned wet rubbing because back then dust extraction wasnt a thing.

[@nik_lee79]

Really enjoying watching the full restoration. I was curious if using a tig welder would be ok if you didn't have access to oxy welding?

[@connorfrancis4874]

Love watching videos like this - my main question would be how do I go about rust repair on a vehicle I almost daily drive? Most of the car is good, there's just a few spots on the roof around, in the door jams and a nasty spot above my rock slider. You can't see most of the areas where rust is forming but would like to fix them as properly as possible and I'm not too sure where to start and I can't really afford to strip apart the entire car, sand off all of the paint and start from scratch

[@RobsDIY]

Awesome vid! Love it What’s the reason for oxy instead of mig? Cheers Rob

[@danielsundberg1977]

Here's one I prepared earlier in the background haha

[@donfinch862]

Using oxy can be expensive - gas bottle rental plus hoses and torch. Bloody handy if you use it for whatever often enough. A cheap TIG/MIG may be a better option. Argon is cheaper than oxy and especially acetylene bottles. Worth you commenting on. I'm not knocking you, just a comment. Great work, it's going to come up a treat. Looking forward to the rest of the build, cheers

[@invyou247]
