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.
Great build, tasteful practical mods that aren't over the top. Very purposefully put together. Rod knows every nut and bolt, nice to hear him talk about it.
Rocket rod u r a machine that drives a beastly weapon. I love the antics u get upto in that machine and love u being part of this awesome show. Keep up the great driving and thrills 👍🏼😎
Mabuhay from the Philippines! Learning so much things about Overlanding from your show! Love the cooking segment, the Gear segment! Seano, Graham & the Rocket man! You guys are awesome! Thank you and more power!
I absolutely love Rocket Rods rig, it got me into the 79 series. I'm getting my new one just before Christmas, cannot wait! Can't wait to see you in more episodes soon Rod!
Just found this channel and cant stop watching. Makes me want to get a Landcruiser and get out there! I have been cracking beers like no tomorrow and watching these videos.
I think we can all agree that if you have seen all episodes with Rocket Rod and he tells you something on his car is good or works fine.......ITS GOOD AND WORKS FINE! If Rocket can't break it.......you wont! Top bloke,
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. Love the rig too Rod, your passion of trail running is contagious.
Of all of them in 4WDA, I actually like how well maintained Rockets 79 is. It absolutely shines through. And i have never seen Rocket talk as much. He absolutely loves the ride. Amazing passionate walkthrough. Loved the bit about Swags.
Rockets rocket is an awsome bit of gear, The only 79 ive seen that i like bar none. And Rocket of course is a one of a kind legend. Great no bull run down, keep em coming👍👍👍
The guys a legend and that 79 is awesome! I’ve watched so many of your videos and Rockets truck always blows me away! If such a thing could be done in the U.K., and I had the $$$ I’d be in!
Love all videos by 4WD Action!!! Graham and Shaun are awesome...Took all tips for my first Fraser Island trip from Graham...Great Rigs out there guys!!!
That really is a Beast of a truck,and Rocket sure ain't afraid to wheel the snot out of it! Still looks funny y'all getting in on the wrong side🤔 🤟🤠👍 awsome stuff guys, cant wait to see more!
Man I love that front bumper! I agree with him that is a beautiful piece of work with the clear coat! I wish I could something like that here in America for my 4 runner.
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.
that transmission controller looks super nice! being able to have all that manual controll while keeping the benefits of the auto, or just throw it in full auto. very cool
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.
Hi guys would love to see more camping and 4WD action on Morton Island if is possible It’s my absolute favourite place to camp. Keep up the great work.
What an awesome rig. I really like it. Though I can't help but see dollar signs as I was watching this. But it's one sweeeeet 70 series. If my lotto numbers come through, I'll be calling you Rod.
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.
Couldn't agree more regarding the Yokahama tyres. I run G003 MT's and they're an amazing tyre offroad and on tarmac. Just did a 10,000 km rotation and cannot fault them. Best MT on the market today!
Holycrackamoley! Does Rod have any spare time? That is one heck of a comprehensively thought out vehicle. A lot of time, hard work, brain testing and, well, love by the looks of his enthusiasm for it.
Have a question to ask Rocket Rod about his 79 Series Landcruiser mods or auto upgrades? Ask him in the comments below!
4WD Action amazing car good stuff glad there fellas like you that put the hard yards in to make our 4x4 experience better thanks man
Has he considered replacing the canopy setup with something lighter?
How many kilometres has it racked up?
4WD Action gotta love the autos
Genuine clutch ?

couldnt agree more
No bs, just straight talk.
All the guys are great, but I’ve really missed seeing rocket. He is such a good dude.
Be a great guy to replace that annoying speed talk a lot Graham.
@@troymatthews668 and
I miss him
A good dude that charges 30k for an auto conversion haha
Rocket rod is a top bloke. And going by his driving style, that is one tough motor!
P 1 of course its a V8
11:13 Alright that's it, "Blondfinded" is going right into the vocab, love it!
That’s what happens when you gave to many pure blondes.
"I used to have a crane in here" LMAO haha wouldn't expect anything less from Rocket. Absolute bloody legend!!
Best 4WD channel by far. I love watching this 79 on 3 wheels, absolute beast
Great build, tasteful practical mods that aren't over the top. Very purposefully put together. Rod knows every nut and bolt, nice to hear him talk about it.
Rocket rods rig is a beast and he explained everything really well, his automatic knowledge is second to none
Rocket rod u r a machine that drives a beastly weapon. I love the antics u get upto in that machine and love u being part of this awesome show. Keep up the great driving and thrills 👍🏼😎
Mabuhay from the Philippines! Learning so much things about Overlanding from your show! Love the cooking segment, the Gear segment!
Seano, Graham & the Rocket man! You guys are awesome! Thank you and more power!
The unit is a monster Rod. Thanks for spending a bit of time for a chat at the Melbourne 4x4 show mate. A real gentleman.
Rocket Rod is my personal favorite guest driver.
Rocket rod is a legend ! Love seeing this guy on the show!!
I love how you guys are all so friendly and open with the information and the trails. Best offroad channel.
Such a weapon of a rig! The sound of it under power is music to the ears. Hope rocket Rod joins Shaun and Graham on every 4wd action adventure!
Thank you guys for taking the time to do this vid Thoroughly enjoyed it and what a beauty of a truck.
I absolutely love Rocket Rods rig, it got me into the 79 series. I'm getting my new one just before Christmas, cannot wait! Can't wait to see you in more episodes soon Rod!
Here in Oklahoma we love the wheel lifting 79. The laugh you have is great. We get a big kick out of your driving style. Auto's for the WIN!!!
Just found this channel and cant stop watching. Makes me want to get a Landcruiser and get out there! I have been cracking beers like no tomorrow and watching these videos.
Nice rundown rocket, loved it. Such a legend of a bloke. Can't wait to see more episodes with the big 79 🤙
I think we can all agree that if you have seen all episodes with Rocket Rod and he tells you something on his car is good or works fine.......ITS GOOD AND WORKS FINE! If Rocket can't break it.......you wont! Top bloke,
Great video. Cheers from a Wholesale Automatics 80 series owner in the USA.

Rockets rocket is an awsome bit of gear, The only 79 ive seen that i like bar none. And Rocket of course is a one of a kind legend.
Great no bull run down, keep em coming👍👍👍
One of the best rigs in the fleet rocket has done a epic job making this beast perfectly setup.
Love that truck Rocket Rod. Well thought out and functional. Gonna have to get a set of those tires as well. All the best....
One of the best rig rundown videos i've seen. Rod needs to be on more videos.
"Hey! Hey! Heeeey!" as you alway say Rocket. My favourite episodes to whatch is when you''re there with your "Rod", absolutely love that car!!!
Love this vehicle. Especially like the raw look of that front bumper.
Rocket Rod - what a legend.
Nice 4WD mate, Auto all the way!
Engine and tires are very important to me. It's great to see what others use, how they last, and how they're taken care of.
You're a legend rocket....you know it!!!! That 79 is awesome
I absolutely love the trans mod!!!!! I have a 2000 4runner and its never let me down. I'm looking for a good deal on an older Landcruiser.
Thanks Rocket Rod for that look threw of the beast Thats one mighty beast of a 79 Go the mighty Toyota 😎
Love coming home to watch the best RUclips channel ever
The guys a legend and that 79 is awesome! I’ve watched so many of your videos and Rockets truck always blows me away! If such a thing could be done in the U.K., and I had the $$$ I’d be in!
Love all videos by 4WD Action!!! Graham and Shaun are awesome...Took all tips for my first Fraser Island trip from Graham...Great Rigs out there guys!!!
What a monster of a car. Thank you for this episode.
I love 79 series, i have a 2005 model 79 series Landcruiser with the 1HD-FTE. The 79series are so tough 👍
wish we could get them in NA
@@MrJoshItIs , out of curiosity when you say NA is that North America?
@@deant6627 yes indeed. Apologize for being brief.
That independent transmission system is so freakin' cool!! Being able to mix and match any trans behind any engine is awesome!
Rocket is just a true Aussie love the cruiser rod done good it's awesome
Hell yeah,been waiting all week for this
That really is a Beast of a truck,and Rocket sure ain't afraid to wheel the snot out of it! Still looks funny y'all getting in on the wrong side🤔
🤟🤠👍 awsome stuff guys, cant wait to see more!
Well, my rig's not alone then! Built from everything from the ground up. That's quite a job you did on the 79, Rocket! Mighty impressive.
Man I love that front bumper! I agree with him that is a beautiful piece of work with the clear coat! I wish I could something like that here in America for my 4 runner.
gotta love the 70 series landcruisers. unbreakable.
Mate I have a 79 ..just love it towing all the time a UTV in the forestry in NZ. A great hard working truck.
opened a cold one at 4:29pm, recieved the notification from god at 4:30pm
Rocket Rod. Love him. I believe he has had a massive influence in the “show me your wheel lift” trend. Bloody trend setter!! 👌🏼

Bloody awesome mate! Thanks for sharing your 79 Rocket!

Wooooooo baby!! Rocket Rod is the man!
He was talking so fast and it still took 18 minutes to go over all his mods. That things a beast.
If rocket wanted to take the sucking away from his induction he should have just gave it a wedding ring
Great to see rocket again and great set up mate
Hi guys would love to see more camping and 4WD action on Morton Island if is possible It’s my absolute favourite place to camp. Keep up the great work.
Blooming heck! It IS a BEAST!
Great equipped offroader all love from syria 🇸🇾

top 79 Rod, keep doing trips with Shauno and Graham
Would love to know if rocket has ever gone over his gvm or whether he's been able to keep under it even when fully loaded? Love this rig ❤️💪
Not sure as I don't weight each trip. I would have thought that I may have been over at some point but not 100% sure.
I love this channel !! I want to move to Australia I swear, ha. Love the truck Rocket and i cant wait to see the next video
Rick Mccraw UTE not truck
@@morcosboci yeah....whatever
Rockets 79 is my favorite rig of the bunch 😎👍

Weight wise, at least you have off loaded the central mirror 🤗
Very nice vid, thanks Rocket and team.
Beer o'clock rods a legend n his bus is awsum nice work guys cheers
Hey Rod,
Great video any future plans on a aluminium canopy looks like you have alot of weight at the rear.
Would prefer lighter but this is one strong unit. I think with a lighter unit I would be changing doors out all the time when damaged.
Rocket, what a legend👍 beast of a rig is dead right!
Rocket, we missed you bro!! Where have you been hiding. . . . LOL. Great to see you back in action!
Fantastic run down of your truck, really enjoyed it. 👍
I love 4wd action 🇦🇺🇦🇺💕
Great vid rocket rod mate. One tough 79 for sure!
What a beast love that bull bar
Please Never Take this guy out of the action.. Such an amazing personality. Love from Pakistan Rocket Rod💙
What happened to him?
If I had've won the Nulon 79, you would've been doing an auto conversion on it, so my wife could drive it......love your work!!
Great setup, thanks for the detailed walk through, good job rocket.
You're a legend Rocket!
Holycrackamoley! Does Rod have any spare time? That is one heck of a comprehensively thought out vehicle. A lot of time, hard work, brain testing and, well, love by the looks of his enthusiasm for it.
Awesome stuff I love seeing rocket on your trips
Wow that car is so SICK! That must be your house huh? Your all packed up and complete just like a house.I wish have this kind of car too.
That front bar is gorgeous!
Absolute beast of a machine
4WD Action, have you got any plans to look into the new land rover defender?
Rod clearly knows his stuff!
Rocket Rod you awesome guy!!! thanks for great video 4wd Action4ever!!!!! 💪🥳👍
