It's nice to hear someone be honest about the 70 series landcruiser. Beautiful ute though.

Honestly wish there was a American channel/show that was remotely comparable to 4wd Action.. lovin’ the show boys. Cheers from the swamps of Florida. 🍻

I've never seen a more positive comment section than here in KZfaq. Well done 4WD Action.

My day is a lot better when 4 wheel drive action uploads

What a beast of a 79 I thought I ran out of ideas for my 79 single cab but thanks to you shauno I’ve got more to look forward to, look forward to seeing you in August for the Melbourne 4wd show 👌👌👌👍👍👍

Loving the 79 , but need to confess ... my heart belongs to " the old-new dirty 30 beast" i absolutely love her !! Good on you Shaun`o

your 79 is great and sounds great too cant wait for the dirty 30 update

Shawno and Graham, you inspired my husband and I to start overlanding!.. We were originally a sailing couple and have sailed the entire pacific, but after watching 4WD action for so long, we knew we found our true passion lol, so THANK YOU!.. We live in Vancouver, British Columbia (Canada's Pacific North West) and we JUST returned from touring from Vancouver to the Yukon territory and explored as many kilometers of the Yukon as we could.. The highway distance from Vancouver to the Yukon territory is about 2407 kilometers, each way.. Combining all the trailblazing and exploring for remote camping spots we did along the way.. We clocked an estimated almost 6000 kilometers (give or take) entire round trip... Next year in January we are coming to Australia, or maybe heading to South Africa.. I want Australia and my husband wants South Africa, so we'll see.. My husband said you guys should charge people to go on tours with you guys, maybe even be on a episode.. Charge like 30 grand lol.. People will be.. My husband and i would.. We have a relative there in Australia with beautiful land, so we have a place to store whatever we buy.. Our last trip was in a fully restored and heavily modifed 1995 Land Cruiser (80 series).. We want a 6x6 beast when we come to Australia.. Cheers!

these 79's are awesome, solid front axle, tow a big boat very well and tops on resale, love the TJM bar work

That was an excellent break down of what you did to your truck. even down to stereo and communicate equipment. you didn’t miss a beat. fantastic channel you guys have. like someone else said. there is no US channel like this. you guys are truly above the rest in adventure channels. from US

The quality for all of your videos are beyond mint, truly blessed to be able to watch, mint lads. Come to NZ and rip up our tracks

Love your work Shano. Not many channels can claim the following due to the honest and straight-up talk you guys deliver

I love my General X3's. Great grip, milage, price and low noise on the highway. Made in South Africa. Running them on my Defender 130 beast...

Thanks Shaun for a great review on the Ute. I learnt heaps about the 79 Series from this vid. Excellent job on it mate. You have however talked me out of getting one. Cheers 🍻. I think. 😁

I’ve learnt more about how to go about modifying one of these 79series watching your video in the whole 6-7 years iv been interested in owning one of these thanks that was really helpful and honest 👍🏽

Beautiful Rig, Absolute weapon. Always a dream to have one

I’m 13 and a 79 series cruiser has been my dream car since I was 5 when I went for a drive in my friend’s dads cruiser

Honestly when I get a Landcruiser, I'm going for the setup that he been doing, it so capable. Good work boys

You boys are the best! Travelling around Europe watching your vids. Missus had a watch for a minute without knowing what it was. And now she is hooked and is not the outdoor type!

I'd love to see you guys do a video on the best capable factory 4x4 for overlanding.. For those of us that can only afford tires and a rooftop tent and our camping accessories... Or factory engine at least.. I'd love Grahams opinion because he always proves that smaller can still be VERY capable.

Thanks for that review. After planning on a 79 series as my ultimate lap vehicle, I will now look else where.Cheers

One of the most honest reviews of a 4x4 I have seen in a long time. Most reviews talk about how good their setup is (which is what I expected when I clicked on this) but was pretty surprised when Shaun started ruling out stereotypical setups. The 79 series being under powered from factory, the gear ratios being inconvenient, the clutch being weak, the uncomfortable seats, "the worst sound system after the late T-ford", and a "centre console that you can't even rest your arm on".. Still a beautiful vehicle..

Thanks Shauno, quality content as always. When I get my 79 I will use a lot of your ideas.

Love the video about your setup. Really like seeing everything your running and how it's setup. Definitely have me a few ideas for my rig. You guys should do a detailed video like this for Shorty and the D-Max and the Dirty 30 when it gets done also. Thanks mate have a good one!

A nice story about your 79, everything Shauno explain is so well introduced. Yes a hell of good 4wd rig, your dream offroader really cost you a fortune.

Great rig man!!Glad to hear that they are as expensive in Australia then here in South Africa.Thumbs-up for the honesty!Still my dream vehicle though.

Shauno... absolute stunner of a vehicle.. love the vids detailing the different configurations of each vehicle for each specific purpose. Would love to see a 4wd Action trivia game showcasing some of your favourite tracks with multiple choice questions on what would you do how would you do it.

Very nice setup. Great info I've gotten from this channel alone. Thanks guys.

Picking up my 2020 79 in 3-4 weeks shauno absolutely chomping at the bit mate can't wait. Dream come true for sure

In 12:10 when Shauno said the miso loves it he meant graham

I watched this straight after watching Grahams Q&A and you two blokes are legends be good to meet ya one day Shaun

That is the definition of a touring rig! Awesome job👍

Great video. The appeal of the 79 now makes sense to me.

you guys are awesome for releasing content! love the channel!

Loved the thorough walk through. Thanks!

I wish we could get them in the U.S. 😢 kids also love the channel!. cheers from TX !

Great to see you mentioned dusting the engine because the air box does not seal. same with my 2015 Ranger. The genuine ford air filter element is not tall enough to create a good seal, pack some cardboard under filter and problem fixed. I noticed fine very fine dusting in the air intake pipe after a very dusty trip.

Shauno that's a sick rig man! Much love from texas!

Best review I've watched on the mighty 79. No mayo and all honesty

only two things that make me drool instantly. A nicely done bbq and a nicely built rig!

You built 1 awesome off-road truck. Can’t wait to see that truck in action. 👍🏼🤙🏼

Honest review of the 79. Well thought out rig mate!

It's a treat to sore eyes ! 👍 Happy off roading bro!!

Was awesome to see this rig in person Shauno, whatta weapon!

Love this beast great work mate 👌🤙

What an honest love for a truck! Well done mate - the truck and the video.

Ultimate dream car. I’ll own a 79 one day

dream build. need that in the US

Would love to see a full garage tour or a day in the life style video

Awesome built and great video! Thanks for sharing!

Bloody great video Shauno! I got a few great ideas for my dual cab 79. The seats are the best upgrade i reckon! You use them every time you get in. I find the stock seats don't incline upright enough and i find myself leaning back a bit too much. Love the suspension seats! Your cruiser is a damn sight better than the Nulon cruiser i have to say! Simple and practical, great job mate! Go the 79!

just started watching these guys. low key wanna move to Australia just for the wheeling lol

😘nice build and cool setup..bravo 4wd Action👍✌

The 79 is a weapon 😍

Some 79 shauno looks so good mate well done i wanted a stainless snorkle but i won this one in a competision so had to put this one on but man this thing is amazing

in the process of saving for a v8 cruiser rn hopefully getting one in january🤙🏻

Love the 79, ever since I saw yours I’ve been dreaming for one and I know who I’m turning to once I want to see the best upgrades once I get one

Great video Shaun. Thank You.

Best 79 series set up ever mate!

All your toyotas are brilliant I have RAV4 not as hard core as yours but love it great videos keep them coming 👍

Hey Shawn, absolutely love the show! Just wondering what your set-up is with your diff lockers, wheel hubs and drive train etc any upgrades or mods that you would recommend? Cheers

imagine just having the sickest 4wds and changing them up depending on what you're doing. Heaven

Hi From one ShaunO to another. I fully agree with your review on the 79. I love mine but planning a few comfort mods to make the long hauls easier. It's quite a shock to the system going from a Fortuner and then a Hilux to a 79 but I wanted a big camper. Now I just got to figure out how to move the spare wheels. I am seriously considering removing the rear seats and building a carrier for the spares in there. Cheers from the Southern tip of Africa

Mate!!! Very soon to be a member of the land cruiser club!! Could watch you talk all flipping day!! 😂, great video, keep up the good work mate!

Such a beauty of a vehicle

Aaaah Shauno, finally! A Land Cruiser man through and through - love it!!

Why would anyone dislike such a great video, I can’t wait any longer for the fresh cruiser please get it to ussssssssss

Beast of a rig! Nice job!

Really awesome setup

Sick this is just how I want to set up one of these I like half canopy it the way to go

Absolutely love this ute rocket rods ute is cool to Graham his shorty is Also a weapon love watching you guys awesome

Its a beast shaun. Great work...!

Honest review, they are not value for money. It's a basic donkey but if u got money to burn God u can make it into a stallion.

Sweet dude. Congrats!

Awsome video, nice details🍻

yeah ill have a 6.6ltr before i own a 4.5ltr but nice truck mate, good to see you look after your gear!

Awsome vid shauno 🤙🏽 I’m in the process of building my 79 dualy & need to upgrade the wheels but wanna keep the original rims do you reckon 255/85r16 wheels would be good?

What suspension setup did you install? Thanks for sharing the information.

That's killa Shauno!! Nice rig 🤠👍

Love your videos

love that truck

Great looking rig Shaun

That 79 is mint👌

Good video mate

Love your rig, I'm planning to do a full canopy on my 75 single cab but keep the canopy short to fit the two spare wheels. Would this be fine if I keep all my weight forward of the rear axel? Will be used as a touring rig

nice video, loving the 79. one question, why dont you put the speakers on the A-pillars? you'll get better sound staging and the speakers would be further from the water when you're driving off-road :)

Shauno! You need to get show to buy u a big ol RAM! Love the show! Great JOB and keep it up mate! Cheers from USA! Have to import you one year and do MOAB in UTAH!

I am bewildered at all that monster rig is caring....

my dream vehicle has always been a 79 series, but more so for work purposes. seeing how much money im going to have have spend, after spending the 80k purchase price has completely changed my mind.

Shawno rocks love that GSP of is . Nothing better then a 79 and a GSP . I want to move to Auz for this very reason

That's a real nice setup

Would like to see a similar video of Rocket's 79 as well. Legend of a truck that is...

and btw cant wait to see your new and improved dirty 30 on the tracks.

Hi shauno, just wondering what 4x4 you would recommend for towing heavy loads and also a great tourer on a budget, cheers in advance

Beast of a 79!

So much envy. If only we could get them in the states.

Hope everyone has a good day 😊😊😊😊😊

Awesome review! Toyota always make a great vehicle but i love the refinement options for owners. Toyota design and engineering department should be tuned into 4WD action for designing new LandCruisers i think!

Hey mate, I didn’t hear anything about the rear axle, did you do the track fix?

Literally the best and honest description and practical 79 set up I've seen. Although he forgot to mention the rear wheel track issue. At the end of the day these rigs are for people with disposable incomes or people in positions like Shauno who can write em off on tax and have friends in the industry to afford the mods needed to make them practical. If you are the kind of person that is just scraping to afford one, they are a serious money pit/divorcee maker. Side note, Shauno is such a top bloke and definitely living his dream life.
