So will i mate! I literally shed a tear when I had to take the original 30 off the road. However, i'm pretty happy with how this build is coming along. Shauno
I’ve been watching 4wd action for a couple months now, I live in Tucson Arizona USA. All there is around here are mall crawlers and “show trucks”... it’s refreshing to see guys building bad ass 4x4s. Sadly you guys are half way around the world, it would be fun wheeling with you guys! Bet my truck would give your 79 a run for its money😉
Looking good Shauno. Don't be to harsh on the people that believe in the Easter Bunny this year. I recently found out there are still some people out there that believe Patrols are better than Cruisers. Bless emmm.
Shaun i have watched almost all 4WD action shows and the car that mostly stood out was your Dirty 30 ... can't wait to see the new one on the track ... i just love it
I wish I could be like Shaun, great chef, a great mechanic, a skilled driver, a good fisher, a great conversationalist and everything in between! Greetings from Manila, Philippines! Such a great show. Can't wait to see that LC up and running! Kudos mate!
Got into 4wd Action a few weeks ago. Can't leave it alone now. You guys are epic. And what you do is.. almost literally.. out of this world. Looking forward to seeing the project and how it goes. Good luck.
Hey Shauno, Just started watching your dirty 30 build. I've been following your channel for a little while now and love every episode you guys do. I'm just starting my 80 series chop and build myself. Your dirty 30 build gives me inspiration. Keep up the great work :)
This Mk2 is going to be totally rad! From what you said nothing has been looked over. Your choice of chassis, body and components is second to none. Here in North America we don’t have sweet 79 series cruisers so watching these videos is an absolute treat. I love the content and builds, keep it up boys.
You're truly a legend Shauno! Big ups when I get back to Oz and get established again, we're going to have to go bush with the new beast Really love the idea of raptor coating the chassis, it'll not only provide longer rust protection, but the epoxy will give you added strength, Had a mate sell an old Mazda single cab and the buyer rolled it on its roof down a bank, investigators claimed if it wasn't coated it'd have crumbled like a tin can under foot.
This is amazing! I have a 60 series wagon over here in New Zealand, has been my restoration project over the last 5 years!! Sitting on 35” MT’S, 3” suspension lift, 2” body lift, rear locker heaps more goodies! And I absolutely love working on it! I love driving it taking it to events but for the last 2 years it’s sat in the shed untouched and 85% finished but last month I made a decision to start working on it again and she is nearly done! Nearly ready to get her back on the road. Love watching you guys and dan do I love the DIRTY 30!! Keep it up!!
@@Thecain69 It's good to see some people from the States appreciate how we Aussies like to use our 4wd to their full potential. As much as how I love you Yanks patriotism and love of country history.
your a true sensation to the 4x4 world we miss the dirty 30 but cant wait to see the new dirty 30 in action love all the videos keep up the amazing work
Super stoked you went with the beige! I’ve loved the 60 series since grade school in the 80’s! A buddy’s mom had one that was beige as well and I had forgotten about it until I found your channel, keep the videos coming man! 👍
Big fan from the United States here, found this channel a few months ago and I’ve binge watched it since. I’m stoked to see this build video on a vehicle I basically can’t have here in the us, and as a Toyota die hard I’m soo excited to find out which motor and trans you went with! Keep it up! Also the dirty 30 looks so damn good behind you!!
Hey shaun as a avid landcruiser owner i have a 2010model 200 series diesel twin turbo I absolutely love it I cant wait to see more of the dirty 30 mk 2 rebuild goodluck
You and Graham are my inspiration for my XJ that I'm turning into an expedition vehicle. The Dirty 30 2.0 is looking awesome behind you. Can't wait to see it on the trail!!🤙
You bloody legend! I came to the channel because of The Dirty 30 and I think the new beast is coming along really well. You are creating a MONSTER of a 4wd!
Shawn love the new rig ! Been following you all for a couple of years now ! You all have inspired us to explore the USA more. So I built a rig and we have started touring around. Keep up the good work guys love watching your videos!
you guys got it made for finding those trucks. finding them in canada is next to impossible. if mother nature wasnt sendin her minions out to get ya round every corner i could see me loading thesse trailers onto a ship and callin the kangaroo state my own.but growin up in a place where the worst thing that crawls on ya is a ear wig or milli-pede here, maybe a heffer or two,but theere the later nites on wash up days in the city... great buildman, keep up the good work and take care
Newf Ie As an Australian and 4wder/hunter/angler, all I can say is don’t be discouraged by the wildlife hahaha how you guys live with bears and cougars and call Australia dangerous is beyond me.
Same except I'd do it in a 4Runner and do a Toyota Diesel swap or... Just keep stock has motor and turbo it for more power and effeciency which would be the more affordable route for the time being since I'm in high school.
Hey shauno build its absolutely mint thanks for shareing all the vids and knowledge me and my brother seen your episode on frazer island bought some 4x4 and just did 10day east coast trip ended up the sandy cape and honestly got us hooked cheers mate goodluck with the rest of the build keen to see the dirty 30 finished
Yea Shauno!! Awesome m8. I'm currently doing a total reuild on my 2000 Jeep wrangler from frame to engine to body, taking parts from my previous wrangler. Like you said dont get discouraged and keep the dream alive.
The rig is awesome but it's not the dirty 30 anymore. No leaf springs, no 12ht and whatever else is swapped for a more modern vehicle. Milo 2 didn't sell out . Yes it's a f**ken fantastic rig, but the dirty 30 is RIP.
Love it Shauno still remember the 1st time we met up at Congiwai Nsw (Cessnock area) and I saw the 60 for the 1st time was along time ago but still remember I've had about 6 cars/4wds since but will catch up with ya soon man Yous will have to come to my shop next time your in the Newcastle area Rutherford Muffler Suspension & CVS Thanks man Pete & Stace
Love the build shauno, This thing is not going to disappoint, Glad you went the extra mile in painting the chassis. This is the truck that is making me so eager to watch the future 4x4 actions!! I cant wait to see this on the road! keep it up man.
Really good first installment. I'm not a Toyota man but really appreciate what you're putting together and importantly, the thought processes behind your choices.
Looks fantastic my friend. looks like you stayed away from the beer while rebuilding your crazy ride. you have the best channel. always a thumbs up from the US.
As an Aussie living in America, who is now getting into 4WD’ing... I think I’m in the wrong country lol! Love your build Shauno! Honestly you seem like a top bloke! Keep up your content mate!
It was a real inspiration to watch this modification. I will def go your way when i start mid this year. I hope i can get all good parts as i continue with the project.
i own a rust free 1989 gxl 60 series whitch ive owned for fiftheen years ....its done lots of work still going strong i have another 60 as well 1985 rust free exzample also own 75 series ute 1hz turbo excellent condition love my old toyota landcruisers best for wheel drives by far number 1 all over the world .....been whatching 4wd action videos for years now love your new dirty 30 build love your old dirty 30 as well you can stick it right up to graham cahill and the nissan owners....out there on the tracks with this new build keep the awsome work up shauno hope to meet you guys out on the tracks
@@4WD247 They dont seem to rust out here im living inland vic small town in the bush place called majorca in central gold fields area some good four drive tracks around here as well thanks for your quick responce jamie
There's 'stuff' on youtube and there's 'stuff'. This I gotta tells ya is one of the best vids I've watched in a long while. Sorta don't want it to end. I'm hooked, so will be watching all rest of the build. Gives me inspiration to have a 'crack' at doing a build myself, have 'ummed & arred' over the years of doing a same but different. Anyways I've always got these vids to look back on. Cheers & beers on a great build (so far).
Shaun, it looks real nice you did a great job this far keep at it and it will be a great finish product and you will have an old friend with new life with you back on the tracks.
looking great Shaun saw this at Brissy show and your on your way to a special rig when its complete but it will never be complete there always a work in progress cheers
Shaun... The 30 MK2 is beautiful and done right. I'm here in the US and having had two 1st Gen 4Runners, '84 & '85 both standard. '85 was the 1st year for the 22RE EFI petrol motor here in the US and I was fortunate enough to get a turbo model. Not too say the 22R wasn't a tank and reliable as nails, just meant eliminating the need for a Weber carb altogether. The '84 & '85 1st Gen 4Runners were the only years with the straight front axle. '86+ went too IFS.... I've driven the 2nd Gen Land Cruisers with the 3400 or 3.4L petrol V6 and IMO were total pigs. The 22RE mated with an Atlas Twin Stick T-case with massive gear reduction meant I could run 35's. Used Deaver 4" lift spring packs frt & rear, chromoly axle shafts, FabTech coilovers, trussed axles, cross-over steering, JBA header with high mount exhaust. ARB locker in the rear and ARB front bumper. Sold it with 435K on it in 94". The 2.7L EFI came out and was the go too motor for Tacoma's vs. the V6. Now having a 2 Gen FJ Cruiser if you will. The best mod is a SAS, the 4.0L petrol motor has plenty of grunt. And came as an auto or 6spd manual and a TRD Supercharger I opted for the auto... and for X amount of $ you can get a brand new Turbo Diesel motor that's produced in the Hilux from South America with the ECU and accessories. All bolts right up in the FJ Cruisers. Mine is on a AllPro Offroad lift with coilovers, tailing arms, Uniball UCA's adjustable panhard bar in the rear. The diesel is not in the budget, but many people use the Lexus V8 out of the full size sedans. I've seen the V8's put down 500+ hp too the wheels. But the diesel is the ideal choice for torque.
Hi Shauno
I’m Eli - I’m 8 years old. I copied your dirty 30 in LEGO. I really like the build of the new dirty 30!

Had no idea you where doing this build. Awesome stuff m8 and a well diserved reward is waiting for you when you finally turn the key!!!!
I am glad you are doing the Dirty 30 Mark 2. Looking forward to seeing future videos of this rig.

Used Deaver 4" lift spring packs frt & rear, chromoly axle shafts, FabTech coilovers, trussed axles, cross-over steering, JBA header with high mount exhaust. ARB locker in the rear and ARB front bumper. Sold it with 435K on it in 94". The 2.7L EFI came out and was the go too motor for Tacoma's vs. the V6. Now having a 2 Gen FJ Cruiser if you will. The best mod is a SAS, the 4.0L petrol motor has plenty of grunt. And came as an auto or 6spd manual and a TRD Supercharger I opted for the auto... and for X amount of $ you can get a brand new Turbo Diesel motor that's produced in the Hilux from South America with the ECU and accessories. All bolts right up in the FJ Cruisers. Mine is on a AllPro Offroad lift with coilovers, tailing arms, Uniball UCA's adjustable panhard bar in the rear. The diesel is not in the budget, but many people use the Lexus V8 out of the full size sedans. I've seen the V8's put down 500+ hp too the wheels. But the diesel is the ideal choice for torque.
beautiful series 60
