This $1000 Hilux Was Flooded TWICE... Can We Rebuild It?

Autos and Vehicles

With Cape York getting closer by the day, the pressure is officially on. What started as a flooded old farm truck is finally beginning to look like a real build… but there’s still a mountain of work left before this Hilux is ready for one of Australia’s toughest trips. In this episode, the team tackle some of the biggest jobs of the entire build — from custom tray fabrication with Enhanced Autowerks, to a backyard paint job that could either make or break the project. As parts finally start going back onto Ron Burgundy, the vision for this old $1000 Hilux starts becoming a reality. But with only weeks left before departure, can the boys actually finish this thing in time for Cape York? 🚨 WIN THE TOY HAULER 🚨 We’re giving away an Ultimate Toy Hauler And Honda CRF! … and one of you is taking it all home. 🔥 👉 Every item you grab from [www.theexplorelife.com.au] (http://www.theexplorelife.com.au) this month = an entry OR 👉 Skip straight to the entry packages here https://theexploredream.com.au/collections/giveaways?ref=YouTube (Already a member?

I've got a 1997 V6 Prado shorty. It's a beast and I reckon it would go well up to the top of Aus. Shame it's in NZ

If I could take one old car to the tip, it would have to be my old Suzuki sierra that I regret selling.

Great vid boys. I'd roll with a old school SWB Paj. Simple, no electronics and not many of them getting around anymore.

Probably a Unimog with a canopy but with room for an old Sierra on the back for doing the fun tracks
