[@richnegs5828]

Breathing life into the old girl, nice work. 👍🇦🇺❤️

[@150_ADVenture]

G'day Rod, great videos on this rebuild series mate. You'd be lost without your mate Greg. 👍

[@Chris-74]

You know what i enjoyed most in this video... The banter between you both, the way you feed of each other... The fantastic attitude of you both is what made this video.. awesome !

[@raymondricciardi]

Great to see the rig back up and running. It did sound particularly smooth.

[@81clive]

The Big 79 💪comes too life again...would love to see Rocket on another series of 4wd/24 with the boys!

[@shaunbenson4212]

Won't happen for a very long time now unfortunately they stepped away from 4wd 24/7 for now

[@darrengray2309]

@@shaunbenson4212 its a shame enjoyed Rocket on there can't really stand that Ruben from DMW its all about look at me

[@Fitzy6722]

Loved seeing the rig fire up again rod👍🏽 Sounds Fresh n new!👌

[@philg2468]

Full respect for anyone who works on these motors. Good to see you've ditched the catch can.

[@bonza167]

I must have missed that bit. why was the catch can ditched?

[@jc7654]

good to see that you guys got it back together without to much headache. 9 months is a long time to try and remember how things are meant to go. great job

[@Motomodify]

Toyotas are meant to run red coolant. Ive had a friend destroy his hilux heater core from running the wrong coolant. Might be worth checking. Good to see it running though, all the best (Y)

[@jimbojones2457]

Correct. SLL - Super Long Life coolant.The pink stuff.

[@jackellis3630]

Thanks 👍

[@markmcintosh329]

Isn’t great when things just work…. Awesome guys

[@TheAthavanleon]

Love your work Mate.. Keep this up... Good luck with the 79... Can not wait for you to hit the tracks...

[@mavo0673]

I would start with it has been absolutely fantastic an a pleasure to be able to come along for the journey from the very beginning of these episodes to this one an all the others in between I have personally loved every second of watching all of these episodes 2 great blokes an 2 great mates who have had a ball doing the over hall on a 79series that's is one hell of rig an most certainly one that is very capable in every way shape and form . Myself I have learned heaps by watching these episodes which have been very helpful and funny . I can't wait until I get my touring rig down to whole sale automatics for very much needed and welcome upgrades to be done . I thank you for sharing all of these with us and giving us the opportunity to step inside the life of wholesale automatics both in the workplace and the land I can't wait to see what's next . I'm certainly enjoying these keep them coming so we can keep watching thank you

[@charlesemerson6763]

Onya Rod. Just as well you have mates to help with this. What a fun project.

[@IanMon71]

Really enjoying the series. Keep ‘em coming

[@raelock8145]

Good to see the 79 running again looking forward to seeing you on your next adventure and the future for the big auto rig

[@kevincashmore4655]

Great job boys good to see her live again

[@hardlydavidson1937]

Great to see the old girl running again. Now the next thing is when are we going to see yourself and a few others on a trip

[@lamarzimmermanmennonitefar5269]

I think Greg was saving the parts under the table for himself. He didn't look to happy when you reached under there😆

[@johnhannonHanno]

Shows how bullet proof the Toyota is. It should not have made it back from the Kimberleys. Looking forward to seeing it on the tracks. G'day Jacko.

[@johnhannonHanno]

@@triggerhappy8872 It still ran for thousands of clicks with all the problems it has.

[@iandibley8032]

Well done boys great to see the old 79 fire up.. whilst I love my 200 modern 4wd have become so much more complex imagine trying pull a start motor on the track. I replaced a blown cylinder gasket on an old landing on Double Island Point one cold winters evening all though at time one used some naughty words but it was doable, even though using wet beach sand trying to get grease off...couldn't contaminate the bait. Cheers boys

[@michael5265]

Excellent job guys 👍👍👍 no drop or missing washers, bolts & nuts 😃👍👍😆🤣

[@WholesaleAutomatics]

Maaaybee lol

[@rjl110919581]

Thank you for sharing your details video as great watching every time. Still love my 2010 Isuzu crew cab 4x4 truck NPS 300/75

[@daveb1635]

Can you tell your viewers why you replaced all the fuel rails if they weren’t cracked or showing signs of wear. And tell them if you replaced all hoses and clamps. Cheers Rod. Liking your new format Dave

[@scottfromoz7413]

great to see the old girl running again

[@darrenashley126]

Hey guys, I don't have a 4X4, I own a XR6 but I still love to watch :D

[@CoffeemanCC]

The 79 lives!

[@bradalexander63]

Thinking about the snorkel. Why not turn it to the rear? If it's suction, one could avoid sucking in water and grime simply by turning it. It's not a scramjet missile for heaven's sake. Great upload, btw...

[@limitlessadventures7626]

Great result guys

[@Metalman666xx]

It always seems to happen when you pull a motor down if not put back together soon the parts breed and there is always some leftover.

[@johnhannonHanno]

Any more news on the 79? Bring the truck to Queensland, reregister it, fit portal axles here. Problem solved.

[@jbattam]

Sounds sweet guys. But is it me or is that the wrong coolant for a Toyota? I'm pretty sure Toyota's should be using HOAT type (pink coolant) not the old school green IAT coolant.

[@sailingcitrinesunset4065]

Nice video 👍

[@SirLuisBarrera]

Great work guys, you did well! question for your q&a: What do you think of portals on a 70 series, would you own one? would like to hear your thoughts.

[@madaboutmilitaria3630]

It’s alive

[@do1one]

I haven’t watched this show for ages, Marty and moog are looking a bit rough now days

[@georgehosie8798]

Hey rocket I've got a question. What are your thoughts on what I believe they call e-shifters, like in the new ranger. Is something like that gonna be bush proof/mud proof/ water crossing proof or is it abit on the iffy side. Thanks legend

[@andrewearl3039]

Great work now i cant wait to see what goes on the back of it. The question i have for the q&a is towing. With manual you shouldnt tow in 5th or 6th gear as this is weaker gears. Is this the same for autos or is it more to do with keeping the trans running cool as possible?

[@zacwinch3218]

Ok you want questions? probably won't get answered cause it's not current or a money maker like a new 79 with an auto, do you make an auto for a 105 series that's feasible money wise and close to the fuel efficiency of a manual

[@paulmerriman5222]

I'm buying Mitsubishi sport gxl would u recommend having done only be using for towing and bit beach work

[@edstafford4511]

Will you guys be doing a project car build up with an auto swap ?

[@dustyfarmer]

isn't that 1Vd-FTV ment to run pink coolant?

[@pullingguard1527]

Hey Lads, just wondering when you believe the highly inflated prices for the second hand car market industry will die down? Definitely an important one for young lads like myself trying to get some skin in the game. Also what do you believe are the best value second hand for wheel drives under 20k? A price tag that most people can relate to without having the money to buy 100 grand rigs, Cheers.

[@WholesaleAutomatics]

I believe the second hand market will stay the same for quite some time. 80 series 1FZ is my pick for budget 4X4.

[@mikaelljungberg1019]

When whill i see you wheel with 4wd 24/7?

[@SuperchargedSupercharged]

Have you ever swapped in an Auto, and wished you left it a manual? For me I wished I had left the 1967 Cadillac an automatic and not put in a M21 Manual.

[@MlCKTITS]

You are meant to run red coolant in vdjs???????????

[@adamcarroll8356]

If you had sung out to me as staff member 🤛🏼

[@micromacmacca1170]

lick it! lol. Never grow up! so good

[@jimsbbqs4320]

How’s old mate recording, and haven’t used a bit of his footage, he can be replaced by a tripod 😂

[@WholesaleAutomatics]

lol I will let him know of your observations Jim

[@WholesaleAutomatics]

I actually had 5 cameras running, 4 mounted and 1 mobile for this shoot then I chose the best angle to capture Rod's good side. I try hard to stay out of shot but doesn't always work and yes I could be replaced with a tripod, but you would miss out on too much with only 1 angle!! Thanks for the feedback though - Cheers Cameraman Craig.

[@Soroushahbazi]

Please car wash and steam clean the engine! It will be worth it after all that hard work

[@WholesaleAutomatics]

We will as soon as we have the last items finished Sasha

[@Tom-lf8hx]

Green coolant in a toyota 🤔🤔

[@jacksonwelch9870]

All this effort with genuine/high quality parts 1/2 of which you didn’t even need to change and you go and put the wrong coolant in 🙄

[@gregbayliss4737]

It’s not wrong it’s just a different colour it’s got all the right properties in it and it’s a third of the cost

[@BigRed-MWA]

Fucking ridiculous place for a stater? 🤬🤬🤬
