    Shauno's Brand new, straight off the showroom floor 200 series.... chopped and extended! Jocko's 25 year old bashed and bruised "pony" Hi-Lux..... Totally different builds, costs and mods, but both totally engrossing and entertaining! After you've finished both trucks and used them for a while, I'd love to hear what you love about each, and what you'd do differently! Thanks guys from Scotland. 👍🇬🇧👍🇦🇺

    The Pony is coming out really good. A turbo would make it better when mudding and sand driving. Bar work is essential, especially a rockslider and a high mounted rear bumper (cut the lower section of the bed) ... but something that i would definitely do is a RUF conversion with high steer, so you get rid of the stock steering system that´s not very reliable. Kind regards form Brazil.

    A dimable LED light strip under the bonnet is a great cheap mod. I doubt you'll have any issues with the mighty 2.8 but it's so handy to have good light under the bonnet if you're stuck somewhere after dark. Also handy for a bit of ambient light at camp, makes stumbling back to your swag just a little easier.

    I hope you fixed or raised the vent tubes from the axles, transfer case and trans to avoid water getting in during the next inevitable water crossing! Cheap mod... delete the entire hitch receiver tube and weld on some recovery points/D Rings or whatever to the hitch cross bar. Maybe trim the rear bumper mounts to tuck the rear bumper in a little too. Great video!

    To get that tow hitch box section out now you have cut it, just weld the inside of the box section that’s seized which will shrink the whole box section and also heat it. It should easily tap out then.

    A nice budget helper here in the states for the braided brake line is boat trailer brake lines. They come all kinds of lengths and are very affordable. You will have to re-flare you hard lines, but for $15 for 2 foot lines are worth it. Done it on a few budget projects and have lasted years of trail abuse. And they’re sold almost everywhere!

    It's not an easy or cheap mod...but a link suspension setup for the front!

Also, since you widened the track, does the crystal ball see fender trimming in your future? I heard a lot of tire rubbing!

We don’t all work on our cars and we don’t have a mate with bits.
    We have watched 4wd action for a long time and love it. Bring back the fun and the overall entertaining banter.
