This feels a little closer to home being a guy in a shed just working on that long time project.. rather than building a whole Rig in 3 days.. good job Mate

Couldn’t tell ya how fast I pressed on this video when I saw jocks name, still pulling for that Jocko solo trip lads, made it happen!

HOT TIP! When cutting and grinding where glass could be damaged, spray glass with lanolin spray. It will stay on for weeks and grinding sparks won't stick to the glass. Also lano is great for making rubber soft and black. Washes off with soapy water. Hot tip no2, when painting in the engine bay and not removing wires, hoses etc you can wrap them with tin foil. Much quicker and easier than masking tape.

Keep showing the whole build Jocko. Gotta love a old lux like this, being brought back to it's former glory.

JOCKO: if you want to see more of this build... ME: YES! I want to see more Hi-Lux builds (grabs cold beer from fridge & waits in anticipation) My wife & I just love Jocko. He knows his stuff well & yet remains soft-spoken. Greetings from Manila, Philippines 🇵🇭

more jocko hilux build episodes needed for sure

This is the kind of rig build video's I like. Yes, more please!

Keep up the recording of the build Jocko - this is a nice change from big dollar drive in drive out workshop builds. It'll give some of us inspiration to pull the covers off our own projects.

As the owner of an LN61 which is my daily drive I'm excited to see even older Toyoda's on the road! Looking forward to more episodes and progress.

Bloody nerd out jocko!! I love hearing enthusiasts nerd out on what they're passionate about!

Jocko saying “sorry for nerding out.” Jocko, that’s why we are here! Nerd out to your hearts desire.

I'm looking forward to this build series. I think I speak for everyone when I say that Jocko is amazing for this channel.

honestly who doesnt want to watch it? It doesnt matter what sort of motor industry your interested in, this is the basics of all types of modification... 6 pack already in the fridge prepared for the next instalment, love your work Jocko

Older 3RZ motors are underrated. A little motor that loves to work, and loves to rev. Doesn't walk up steps like a 3 liter td but a little clutch tap will get you there. We went from 3RZ to 1KZ and I would go back in a heartbeat, the 3RZ is so much more a driver's engine.

The 3rz-fe is a phenomenally reliable motor. I had one with 300,000 miles that ran like new. If Toyota could build a frame that didn’t rust in two, I’d still be driving it.

Best part of the day is sitting down, having a cold beer, and watching these videos! Keep up great work fellas

I would love to see the complete build from start to finish. Can’t wait to see the custom transmission and transfer case mount. Lots of luck with the old girl. Please keep us up to date.

Love the fact jocko ACTUALLY works on his cars. Keen as to see more of this build

It;s nice seeing some sorta technical build stuff. Thanks for the upload

The 3RZ engine is an excellent choice. I have it in my US Hilux (a.k.a. Tacoma) and thrash it regularly. It was also found in the Surf/4Runner, so if it is capable in that vehicle with all that weight from the factory, then you know it's good. Won't get anywhere fast, but you will get there everytime.

Great to see you are going period correct Jocko. Love period correct vehicles, they will catch the eye of almost everyone. Doesn't matter if you have to make stuff work. That is All part of the rebuild. My Dad built a Toyota Stout from two 1971s and a 1964 using parts from all 3 . Very Cool stuff.

Brings back memories.... My old LN65... S/Cab, custom bar work all round, EFS Suspension, short tray.. rear locker.. etc etc, it was a beast and went every where.. love them old school trucks.

I have to say, well done Jocko. I have rebuilt alot of the late 1960s and early 1970 ford F-100 trucks. First thing I always did was remove the bed and cab. Then rebuilt the rolling chassis. This gave me all the room I needed and kept me off the ground. Also a cab body sitting on blocks is easy to work on. Keep going with the build mate. It looks like a great project.

Love seeing old rebuilds.. keep the eps coming!

Need full build series! 90% of guys who own these in the US are doing all of their own work

Great Job Jock, i had a 79 Hilux here in the states, it came with a 20r motor and a l43 4 speed anyway after 10 years of ownership 2 trips across the us and every trail on the west coast it had a om617 turbo diesel and a 5 speed. I miss that rig.

Cudos Jock for not continuing to push the need for certain beverages, unlike your colleagues. I hope the younger viewers will follow your example. 👍🏻🙏🦘

Yes please. Keep going on this build. Looking forward to the rest of the series.👍👍

this is the best new series in ages! more episodes please! keep em coming

My very first truck was a 1980 Toyota 4x4 with the 20r engine. Loved that little truck. I can't wait to watch this whole video. Will bring back so many memories.

Would be happy to watch these every second week!

Definitely need more bulid videos like this, resto mods and home built customs, Less landcruisers and patrols with off the shelf shopping lists.

Definitely keen for more episodes like this. It’s great to watch builds come to tether and learn what not to do

The 2.7 RZ is one of the most underrated engines, super tough & they can make solid horsepower when done right.

If Jocko needs any help or info if he's looking to go forced induction on the 3rz, I have a 3rz turbo Hilux 4wd that makes 320hp on 33s, happy to help with any info on the 3rzs💪🏼

love the old thousand buck lux can't wait for more episodes

Mate love your shed work and builds. Keep them coming

Just bought me a Defender 130 Crew cab, absolutely destroyed by previous owners. Sat in the backyard for 6 years. Cant wait to get into that! Great work on the Luxie!

Brings back memories stop start stop start finally 10 years later and thanks to covid lock downs I managed to get my rn 46 completed and engineered, love your work keep it up 👍👌

Appreciate someone who truly is passionate with his iconic 4wd's 👍👍👍👍well done Jocko 👏👏👍👍

Jocko is 4wd24/7 gold.

As someone who's just sold a classic lux for health reasons, I'm super keen to see this get restored! Love ya work

Yes, I'd like to see a series of episodes covering this build.👍

I had an '82 RN46 single cab, battle truck that I could always drive home in, loved it, so simple. Love the afro you're rocking as well Jocko

I love to see relatable builds on KZfaq. I would probably never tackle the panel beating myself, but I love to see it!

How good!! Nothing better than an old Toyota 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Finally the 1000 buck is back, it’s been a long time coming

Love working on and fixing old vehicles....can't wait to follow this build!

Good to see Jocko, a proper backyard built that most of us would be doing, not the sourced out to other people, custom super expensive builds that the other 2 have done

Been lacking Jocko content lately and this is exactly what I've been wanting. Need more accessible projects and old rigs that aren't 80s.

my day is 10 times better when yous upload

I love these episodes on the older rigs, whether on the tracks or rebuild series' keep them coming!

Stoked on this, just got onto this build through your message on Toyota 1st gen facebook page. Currently doing the same thing with mine in Wollongong (except going 22r for simplicity). Jobs become so big still! Thanks for the ongoing inspiration!

Of course we want to see more of this build Jock. This is a much more realist thing to do because your everyday punter can't afford to buy a 300 series let alone cut one in half. The video where you took that red hilux was one of my favorite episodes. Keep up the good work Jock

Doing something similar with my 1st gen. Glad my chassis was already cleaned and painted before I got it haha. But I feel your struggle mate. Can't wait to see more of it mate it will give me motivation to work on mine

Building cars with jocko is like doing it in my own garage it’s mint

Awesome thanks Jocko it's about time you got the old girl and done something with it. Just remember tho you still have the pony to finish.

Keen as to see it restored to a former glory! I like the step by step that Jocko goes through and reasoning for it. Helps make it clearer when tackling a build

Love this build. Here in Canada we don’t see much stuff in that good a shape to rebuild decades later. You say rust , we laugh, that’s nothing!!! Haha. Keep going Professor Jocko!!!

Dont be afraid of your inner nerd Joko.... your learning and gained knowledge is why we are here!!! I miss my old 82 LN46....bring on the content!!!

Will be keeping a close eye on the build, good on you Jock!

Jocko saves the day........... i mean the lux. Full series please. I would be awesome to follow

Well done mate. Loving this build. I have an 85 single cab sitting under the carport ready for a tidy up in a couple of years. I’m really liking what you’re doing here Jocko - 24/7 might swing me back to watching on a regular basis!! Nothing wrong with petrol Hiluxes. Good luck bro.

Will definitely keep an eye out for more episodes on this project.

Was expecting cape video 😭

Yes please!! Keep this series going.!!

I did an engine swap on a 85 CJ-7 and put a 5.2l magnum V8 and one of the biggest things that helped me was to go over the wiring for both vehicles and make a list of all the wires that needed to be hooked up and then slim down the harness a bit only after i got it running so that i could make sure I didn't make any mistakes. Also, for the rust on the frame a good rust converter can really do wonders with just a light cleaning on the frame to get rid of dust dirt and grime and really cut down on work you need to do to make it look good and be protected from rust. All you need to really do is spray the frame down with some kind of powerful degreaser and then let it sit for a bit and pressure wash it off. then as long as you don't have any super flaky rust on the frame then it is ready to paint.

Yes, we all want to see more of the build!

Can’t wait to see more! Old trucks are the best

Yep. More please. More Jocko actually. Nerd it up as much as you’d like.

super excited to see this build come to life. Im a huge fan of period correct restomods

I didn't know it, but this is the series I've been waiting for!

Cracking build Jock. Love to see an old Lux return to its former glory. And maybe even give the farm truck a run for its money.

Super cool program, keep fixing the Ute's are awesome

Real world stuff , spending money in dribs and drabs rather than $100 K in a month is what I like to see as it is what I can do rather than just dream about . Keep this resurrection going Jocko 😎 .

Jock, loving this build! Got sick off waiting for the next episode so I’ve started from the beginning again. Keep up the awesome content 💪🏼🔥

best part about slapping in a 3rz... turbo into a early hilux is that you can do it in a day! keep on keeping on yeww

Best build yet!!!

Very keen to learn about rust removal and panel work.

Coming from united states, you're right about the motors. Not a bad choice and dosen't make it any less reliable or capable. We don't get the fancy toyota diesel here but the tacoma/pickups still get the highest mileage over other 4wds and is still one of the most used 4wd rigs here in the U.S along with other toyotas like the 4runner/surf! Can't go wrong with it! Can't wait to see a finished period correct lux👍

Love watching all the behind scene steps and smaller jobs you do. It helps us get a better understanding of everything and obviously learning a little from you too!! Would love to see more

yes please complete this build series! good work as always.

Definitely let’s keep this going! Top stuff!!!

Hell yea brother jacko......I want weekly updates on this beaut!

First on 4wd action finally, but nice to see another episode of the hilux and love to see more

My first pickup here in the USA was a 1979 Toyota 4WD long bed pickup with the 20R engine and a 4 speed manual. Bought it in 1993 or 94 with 80K miles for $5k and traded it in in 98' for a 1988 pickup with 88K and a 22R engine. I put about 220K miles on that 1979 and the dealer gave me $5k (what I paid for it) in trade for the 1988. The 1979 was White with blue stripes, the 1988 was Blue with silver stripes. Loved those trucks, but I moved on to 4Runners after that for reliable 4WD in winter conditions.

Jocko goes alright hey 😊

Super keen for this wicked series boys, good luck with getting the beast back on the roads jocko

Yes please, definitely want to see this build completed....

Yes i want more of this. Way better than the other to stiffs. Thanks jock.

Yeah, Jocko. Keep it going super keen to see the finished product.

Glad to see it back and stoked on the plan to just make it cool and period correct!

Keep ‘‘em coming Enjoying seeing something old being fixed up. Rather than another ute build with flash canopy

As a guy in the U.S., I know I'm looking forward to seeing this come to be.

Jocko we would love to see more of the build on the old luxy

Keen as mustard to see more of this build Jocko. It will be a great run around when it's finished.

Bring it on jocko your getting me motivated 👌

Go for it jocko can’t wait till it’s finished.

Jocko, you are the Australian Austin Niemela. He is incidentally restoring/modding a '77 Hilux.

4:00 i wasn't ready for Jocko's transition, thought he had a wig for a bit😂 Great video, looking forward to more
