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?

If it were a boys trip with all the same cars, definitely carby, auto GQ's. I mean make it a real challenge but still capable as.

I’d take my 1997 Toyota dual cab hilux (LN167).
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
Great color. Egarly awaiting Cape York. Watching from Newfoundland and Labrador,Canada.
If I could take one old car to the tip, it would have to be my old Suzuki sierra that I regret selling.
I would love to take my BJ73 that has a 75 cab on it. It's a great little short ute.
I would take a petrol 105, yes expensive to run, but cheap to buy and solid axle
Id take a 60 series
I'd take me rd 28 gu to the Cape why not right 🙅
IDE be taking my 105 series cruiser, when I finish it off,getting ther 😂
The trusty 60 series
Great vid boys. I'd roll with a old school SWB Paj. Simple, no electronics and not many of them getting around anymore.
I would take a 1976 fj 45 with a 2h and 4 speed with factory pto winch
I would love to take an FJ40 to the cape I took one back in 1984 to Birdsville from Melbourne with 3 adults in the front , it was a great trip
Probably a Unimog with a canopy but with room for an old Sierra on the back for doing the fun tracks
