    Rocket Rod is a pleasure to listen to unlike a lot of the other YT commentators. Fast, clear, concise, to the point but at the same time comprehensive. Could be a TV personality.

    For those of us who don't live down that way, please take a little time to define your terms. The continual talk of "XX Series" this and "YY Series" that is used, means nothing to many of us.

    Rocket I loved your customisation 79 talk. I missed the engine cc size. Due to health no more soft 4 wheel driving for me - bar pulling my caravan across a field & helping friends who are stuck in the mud even new landrover, Hyundai & Volvos with my Subaru. Sadly had to swop it in (Due to worsening health) for a Rav4 which is still, very good. Especially sport mode - which works best for off-roading. I can't thank you enough for the 4WD Action trip RUclipss. Keep up the adventures & Vehicle spec talks.

    Meanwhile back in Japan, the designers and engineers of the 79 have just discovered 4wd Action and Rocket Rod. They thought they had tested to the limits but now they're finding out what you can really do in a 79. Eyes like dinner plates and some even flatlining; with what breath they have left they're asking "Who is this Wocket Wod??
    Top rig. Genuine all round good bloke. Wheels in the air more times than I've had hot diners. Keep having fun out there.

    Good morning from Arizona USA. I love the channel. Wish we could get these amazing rigs in the states. Or st the very least get the same diesel engine in the Toyota that are offered here. Too many environmental hippies that are afraid of soot and good mileage I guess? Any way love the truck and love watching the channel. If you ever get to the states come to AZ and look me up. We are one of the last states with tons of open public land to wheel on. I would be happy to dust off the old ford bronco and show you some amazing trails and hidden oasis.
