Description
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?
