CHEAP HILUX TO OFFROAD WEAPON for under $5000 | Budget Build 4WD Part 1

- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Jocko's on a mission to turn the Pony lux into a budget build 4WD capable of taking on the toughest 4WD tracks in Australia! Using some of the best and cheapest 4WD mods money can buy, the Pony will be getting new offroad upgrades in every episode. We'll show you the REAL difference each mod makes offroad, helping you decide on the best mods for your 4WD.
Lifting your 4WD improves ground clearance and helps you fit bigger tyres, so Jocko's first mods are exactly that! See how the Pony goes on a test run after they've been fitted.
When the build is finished Jocko's going to enter the Pony in a 4WD competition to go up against purpose built competition and winch trucks on some INSANE tracks!

Ep 2 of the Budget Lux Build is going to the next level! We're going to start looking at more serious mods to get this beast further off-road, and make it more bush proof. We are filming in a couple of weeks time - tell us what mods you think we should do to it and we'll throw the best ideas on it next episode!
A couple of rock sliders would be nice eh, just to give a peace of mind on the ol cab.
T-Case reduction gearing for sure.
Polux
Remove that boat anchor!
Roof rack and veranda
Enjoy Matt co-presenting on these episodes. Jocko more himself ,rather than trying to keep up with Sean and Graeme's humour. Makes for a nice change ,and, some great production value in my opinion. Well done lads.
I reckon jocko is a shit tonne better host than the other 2
@@danieladdamo9132 all of them are good mate but...
Shaun is like the guy who wants that expensive gear and no one really can afford it...
Graham is getting a bit too much like this all the flashing gear and stuff glad is till stay on 32 tho!
Jokoo is the one who show you you don't need the expensive shit to get out there and I like that!!!
Good to see jocko NOT trying to be super funny, so much more watchable when he sticks to his strengths of being super knowledgeable and capable. Good vid look forward to the next 👍
Thanks mate! - Jocko
What a budget riiiiig. Good to see more Jocko, such enthusiasm haha
Yeeewww the Polaris shirt!!!! Caught Jocko at one of their gigs in Sydney.
If you fully knew how into metal Jock is, you would not stop vomiting.
Been waiting on the edge of my seat for this ep
Just wait until you see what we have install for EP. 2
@@4WD247 Thanks for the heart and reply
I can't wait!
So jocko,
What your telling me is that you DONT need 100k and the entire superior catalogue to be capable off-road!? Oh my!
Go the toyotas, best model hilux, especially the mighty tractor motor!
Jocko; We need more torque.
Me; Turbo Yoda!
Jocko; Reduction gears.
Me; oh well...
How boring
Why not both?
Oh man, you guys sure make me smile. reminds me of my youth! I had an '81 with leaf springs and 33" way back in the day. enjoy the crap out of your channel and the pony build is my favorite so far... ah the good old days.
Thanks mate! - Jocko
Been on a limited budget since I came out of the womb...
Dunno if a 70 series troopy is "budget"..
Pony looks great, loving the custom made side mirror
Yeah luckily that mod cost us nothing!
Jock is a very likeable and agreeable person! Nice one Jock
Jokoo is like the best thing that happened on 4wd action no flashing gear good driving and hell of a presenter!
Thanks mate! - Jocko
Put a roof rack with a solar panel for the battery.And a light bar
that'd be sick!
Hi guys, i was owner a Hiace 95 2L and now i have a Hilux 2003 5L, and when a wake up and see the truck in garage i wake up with a smile. Greetings from Argentina! and good project
I just love how you blokes are having so much fun!
Think you might need some rock sliders and scrub bars the way you drive.... or maybe just a full external cage!
Awesome content... And loving the budget build.. Especially giving some idea on the cost(s) each steps of the way... Next mod should be a NC state plate and sitting in my driveway!! But seriously.. Wish we had kept getting the straight axle lux's here in the states... Next mod(s) should be gearing and some sliders...
Recovery points and rock sliders for the next mods.
honestly so happy youse got one of the best budget 4wds around and to be doing a build up serious on it is even better, being a massive hilux fan and jocko fan is also a bonus, id like to see the pony raptored and have 2' body lift thrown under her with a roof tray fitted up with terralume loghts, a new exhaust wouldnt go astray either, with the towbar issue should put on a custom rear bar with a swing away tyre carrier also, hope this gives you a few good ideas but so far loving the build up, keep up the good work!
Jocko and Matt are the best 👍👍
tow bar tip, make sure there is no tension bolts holding it, pull the pin, tie it to a tree or other stationary object and safely try and pull it off.
Budget offroading is super fun. My 98 V6 Pajero has factory lockers, a snorkel and 31 inch mud tyres (no winch) and so far it goes pretty much anywhere I want.
hoped for a little skinny tyre action here (33x10.5R15 or 255/85R16) but still an awesome build! keep em coming! :)
To get the tow ball off, why not lay an oil pan under in, then tape down a bunch of plastic around it. Spray it down with a lot of penetrating oil, then wrap the plastic around it, fill it some more. After it sits for a few days, and probably some extra applications you could remove the ball, hammer it a few more times, the hook it to an anchor and give it little stiff pulls with the throttle. Only a few feet yank. Or you could work a few pulleys and use your wince to tug it.
This was a Great episode. Can't wait for the next one
Next one will be out late November mate
its great to see two good mates wheeling and eatin pies
for the stuck towball, first try heating up the outside with a blowtorch for the metal to expand a bit, then attach it via a snatch strap to something sturdy. then send it!
This is a great series. I loved this show for so long but it was just eye candy for me as I have a family and just a small amount of allowance to buy a truck and fit it out for overlanding. My idea was a budget gen 2 4runner and do what I can over the years. After seeing your lux build I am chewing at the bit and early next year is my chance to buy and get started. It's been great to see what mods I can get the most out of and get me to those rare spots I've been missing out on. Been dreaming through covid and am ready to get back outdoors and traveling again! Great series Jocko! Keep up the great work brother. Best Regards from Texas!
Hi Jocko loving the Pony lux project. I think good next mods would be rock sliders to reduce panel damage and instead of changing diff gears, put low ratio transfer case gears in. This will retain road performance/noise/revs (such as it is on these!) and give a huge improvement in rock crawling.
Oh yeah- and guard flares be good too! Lol
Glad to see we're on the same page mate! - Jocko
I had to take the hitch receiver off my truck and put it into a press earlier this summer to get the ball hitch to come out. Even had to press out the hitch retainer pin. The assy had been on the truck for 14 yrs :).
Theres just something about bogging back and forwards through a mudhole in an old hilux that always brings a smile to the face
If you could get there on your 29"s or whatever they were, and Graham could hang with an IFS rig on 33s, I figure you can climb just about anything reasonable, and some stuff that isn't with a 'Lux twin locked on 33s. This build is perfect. Exactly how I like to build up a rig, and proof that you don't need all of the kit to have a more than capable rig.
For brakes look into the toyota S13WM calipers and matching rotors for the front. For the rear look into the land cruiser series 60 brake cylinders
Bloody awesome. Currently doing up my own ponylux, and stoked to see the mods I’ve done so far are in line with yours. Very interested to see what brake upgrades you do. Awesome stuff, lads
jocko and matt are so good together on camera
Jocko, all she needs now is portal axles and me behind the wheel. LOL. Pony is look good mate. Thanks for the videos.
Love the little luxxie, keen to see Matt work his magic on the welder and build some mint bar work!
Going to be hell of a rig. Have to upgrade Daryl now !!
top build so far Jock, must see what you have next for the lux, great to see Matt on the vid
What a difference it makes with 2 inch lift and bigger tyers. Reduction gears would be another awesome mod.
I bought a 76 CJ5 for 850$ and it runs and drives. Have a lot to work on but i know it's going to be fun
Loved the video, don’t know if it was the camera angle, but the tyres of the pony lux did appear to hang outside of the guards a little. I’d be a bit worried about a defect notice getting slapped on with that, so I’d recommend a set of wheel flares to get those tyres nice and safe and keep ol’ PC Plod off your case. Keep it up, can’t wait to see what’s next.
They're on the list mate! - Jocko
Go the 2.late! Should have done a 35mm diff push while you had the springs out to stop the 33's from srubbing when flexed up. Easy mod and costs absolutely nothing.
This really puts a smile on my face. Awesome stuff
Looking sick boys!
Wondering why you didn't opt for a U-bolt flip kit?
And my other suggestion is lower T-CASE gears and keep the stock diff gears.
Saw this on fb yesterday and was very keen
I had the same problem with my tow ball. The only way I could remove it was to cut it out. I first cut the inner tow ball insert off completely, just behind the outer tow ball socket. Then used a reciprocating saw to cut some slices in the walls of the inner towball insert. Then it all came out easy. Had to replace the tow ball insert obviously. But the job was done.
Well ya did do Lockers and lights together....But some how lift and tires missed the first cut...was that intentional to show the capability or was it simply budget? Really like this episode...Great for those first timers doing a first build!!! cant wait for the next one!!!
cant get enough of the pony lux. keep it coming lads.
This hilux looking beefy and ready for the trail. Here in Guyana people love this model . It handle the jungle terrain well .
These two blokes work well together, great episode
got the same rig in Israel, please keep it simple with the 2L engine. cant wait for the next ep... cheers from the middle east.
With my sons Hilux tow bar, we balanced a Big Electric Jackhammer on a trolley jack. It still took a while, bit buy bit we got it. Make sure to use hearing protection. ( very loud ) Hope this helps.
The smiley face on the pie proved undoubtedly this is one of those hobbies that is spawned from playing cars in the dirt like a kid.
Love your pony lux mine still has 31 on but loving your mods and wow what a change thats going to be a mean pony when you guys are done
Love the pony makes me miss my ln106 I had 2 inch lift and 33s on it open diff and could still keep up with mates patrols. Can’t wait to see more of the pony
11:10 you can "increase" CoG - by raising or lowering it, it's better described as moving it fore or aft - like an aircraft. In vehicles, it's better described as centre of mass, which is high or low. If you put an elephant on your roof rack, that's high CoM. Bolt lead plates to the underside of your vehicle, that's low centre of mass.
I'm glad this little lux is getting more love. The tires were much needed. I anticipate seeing ring and pinion work the next time but I've been really curious for my owner budget 4wd building if a twin t case setup would maybe do more for less of the whole budget.
Jocko you're full legend status in my book, but why on earth did you spend any of such a limited budget on lights? and i wish you'd spent the money on new tires and made do with the old wheels. seems silly to buy stuff that adds nothing to the performance. i still love everything about this channel (other than the ridiculous name change) so huge props for the top notch entertainment!
Love the pie warmer I want one haha, great content guys keep it up
Well done Jocko
Love that Matty is rocking the Polaris merch in the vids 🤘🏼
13:45 "Give it a bit more BOONTY" Ryt on bruss✊🏽
Totally addicted to the show. Jocko is building my dream rig. Can't wait to see the rest. Regards from South Africa
Loved it, guys - thanks!
Oft-overlooked upgrade? SS brake lines. Adds so much more confidence to the brakes holding when needed.
Ĺove those old hilux. Great with some work still out there. Cheers
I have an old ln106r luxy thats having a 2 inch lift put on tomorrow, i already have 33s so seeing how well the luxy did in this video is making me dead excited to test it out 😍
Man I wish we had the legendary HILUX in Canada!
Up the LN106 🤙 maybe hi steer, invert shocks, n60 leaves in rear etc??
Holy moly boys keep driving like that and the 5k budget is going to ho to the panel beaters. Lol. Awesome video.
I had a similar problem with the towbar on my Nav. I spray a ship load of WD40 and left it for 24hrs. Came out the next day without a problem.
I'd go for the pony lux, because the joy of owning and operating a cheap and to some extent capable rig that you can throw around a bit without caring much about little scratches or dents can not be compared to anything else.
Owning a mighty (to be read expensive) vehicle will always come with the stress associated to inherent repair bills. Going into the bush means unwinding, got enough things to worry about related to city life, don't need 'em to follow me into the wild.
Yeeessss I have been waiting for this,awesome bro
wow all those Hilux's are looking sick
Small turbo like a td04 of ct12b just to liven the 2.8 up a touch.
80 series cvs for some added strength allow you to wheel a bit harder.
Either reduction gears or different ratio diffs.
That’s an awesome build looks great 👍 thanks Boyz great stuff!!!
I had the same problem with my towball on my hilux. After much hitting with the sledgy, I ended up chaining it to a tree and a few tugs pulled it out
Definitely stoked for this series!
Stayed up here in California, USA to catch this Episode early!
Dedicated that’s for sure haha 👌
Jocko; “Nip up” all the bolts.....”rattle gun” BRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTT
Any chance Darrell can get a budget build as well. Winch front lokka, some bar work and reduction gears Then off for a show down with the pony.
Fantastic episode!!!
This is awesome , thank you for making this episodes!
A true testament to how strong these toyotas were back in the day.
Love the Luxies. Would take anyone of the three of them. Go the mighty Hilux
cant wait for the next one looks awesome
Holy crap this thing is a weapon!
Coil on the front mod, keep 2 leaf spring attach act like trailing arm.
great video guys the quickest ive clicked on a video haha loved it guys good job
Love that hilux! Beast mode!
pull the towball out with a winch, worked for me.
More to my last, is a live axle on the front standard on the Pony.
Yes this generation was the last before IFS
If these two took over hosting duties, I'd miss Graham but would be still very happy.
Take out rear shock absorbers it will help give more articulation in the rear make it more flexxy haha
Let’s go !!! Epic series in the making
You have no idea yet - we've got some big stuff planned for this old rig!
So stoked, just got an 1992 dual cab ln106 with a flat deck 2 weeks ago. Couldn’t be better timing. Yewwww !
Jock, your problem with the towball.. all i can say is use vinegar. I had the same when i got my 04 patrol. I did everything i can. Soaked it with wd40 and crc. In the end, vinegar did the job. Trust me use it mate and you’ll thank me later👍
I reckon some skidplats for the the lux to help stop the difs from catching
Make your own rock sliders, protect those sills.
