Now just need that one in centre of Aus to flick us a bone haha 😂

So happy to see that stuff is starting to turn for you Paul. Thanks Laurie for your generosity in helping your employees

I am really pleased for you. Huge call out to Laurie... what a Man!

That a great thing. To see that Australians are helping Australians. If we all do one thing to help someone. You will feel better about yourself, and one day, someone else will help you in return. By just Saying Hello, to a stranger. Or say Have A Great Day. Can be a start. From little things, big things grow. Great build. And have a great day.

That's wicked mate! Congrats! Actually when I was shopping for a Toyota I had heaps of recommendations for the Busso dealer, despite being 300kms away! Must be good folk! 👍

Looks soo good mate!! Can't wait to see the final setup!

Mate so happy to finally see you happy and smiling. Congrats on the new car and I'm looking forward to see you out and about in it.

Good to see your back on track with your life. Your boss is one hell of a great guy for getting behind you and lifting your spirits. Tell him your subscribers think he is a good man.

Good on ya mate, having awesome bosses like Laurie always make ya want to put in that bit more effort at work. Happy for you mate.

So glad you have a great employer, it's so hard to find an employer like that these days. If I ever live in wa brussleton toyota will be my first stop when I need a new car.

What a great story! Well done Laurie . Looking forward to following the build. I’m in process for buying an SR EXTRA Cab and hadn’t considered genuine accessories, but l will definitely have look at them. Thanks for sharing a fantastic outcome that put a smile on my face.

Congratulations. Paul, and please let Laurie know he's a true blue legend 🇦🇺👍

Well done Laurie, employer of the year. Good video mate. All the best.

Congratulations Paul. Well done buddy. Life is full of surprises good and bad but we keep pushing on because there is always a sunny day amongst the grey. Regards, from Mario.

Well done Paul you deserve it you are a very professional person 😊

Great to see things are starting to come together for you. What a boss . 👍🏻🇦🇺

I was very happy for you Paul that you are on track with new work place and Thanks for Toyota ( what a feeling) . Thanks for all your videos.

Absolutely delighted to see you doing so well I just can’t believe what has happened to you it’s only up from here now mate awesome to see you genuinely happy you have made my day to see how well things have gotten for you and Laurie your a dam legend mate absolute legend for all you have done wish you the absolute best for the future

Awesome video mate, keep up the good work. Laurie a true local legend, giving back to the community. So good to see.😊

Looking good! Keen for the build!

It is great to get happiness in your life. Well done. My case is still ongoing, and I have been told it is going to be longer. That's OK. It's great to see you smile. Thanks for this video. Russell

Love Toyota. My daughter and husband bought a new kluger hybrid this year. They found the same thing, just as easy to manage repayments on new as it was on used. They absolutely love it. Best fit with 4kids and they had a very comfortable drive 12 hrs to Melbourne in it already. I call it the sneaky car because you don’t hear it pull up. 😂

Good things happen to good people your boss obviously sees your potential and this is a investment and u will stick around and be a good employee. Great work

Big ups to Busselton Toyota

You're kicking goals

If you are going to the trouble of a raised air intake you should of made it waterproof,Safri ,TJM would have been my choice but It is your rigg.Onya Camp.🙂

I'm not planning on doing a lot of water crossings. I've fitted plenty of brands over the years and the genuine Toyota snorkel is my favourite as it has a very slimline profile compared to the competition. Even Ronny Dahl only used genuine Toyota snorkels for hilux's. You can make them waterproof but it's at your own risk. I doubt any brand would cover a new motor if something went wrong. This is why I didn't want to lead people on but instead be honest and let them modify it at their own risk 👍

Nice Work!!!! Congratulations and what an awesome guy Laurie is!!!

Good to see a big smile on your face mate, look forward to the rest of the build

WOW Paul. About time things are turning around for you. What a top employer Laurie is looking after his employees. You don't see that much anymore. Hats off to Busselton Toyota. Love your build video going to be nice when completed. GVM on Extra Cabs comes off your 3.5 tow not like the twin cab keeps there 3.5 tow. Extra Cab all the way I love them. New content adventures down the road going to be some great new video's. Cheers Paul and Cheers Busselton Toyota.

Congrats on the new wheels..... glad to see things are starting to turn your way.

That’s awesome news . Got to love the excitement of future trips and build up 😎🍻

Enjoy your new hilux mate, Sad to see the old girl is gone she brought me to your channel but on wards and upwards 😊

Good on you mate, good to see you happy and nice car 🍻

So happy for you mate. I know it’s been tough for you. You should be very proud of how you have handled yourself and the situation, as should your young fella. Onwards and upwards mate- don’t look back.

Ripper mate!!! keep doing what your doing👍🏾

Thats awesome mate things are taking a turn for you. Seems like you have a great team at Busselton Toyota. The new Rig is looking mint 👌

Good onya Busselton Toyota !! Glad your on the up mate..

Great news mate and you’ve got a great boss 👌🏼👍🏻

Also really interesting video. Good to see what happens in the back.

Great to see you doing well mate! Keep inching forward, it will get easier and easier

Happy for you mate. Rig looking great. Seems like you have a great boss and a good working environment.

Good to hear you're doing well brother and you're doing well at your job with a good boss very good there Toyota

Good to watch professional doing the fit out

Congratulations Paul! Wow look at you, you have a smile like The Cheshire Cat! I'm so relieved to see that your world is falling into place! I enjoyed my 2002 Hilux but like you, I couldn't trust it to go remote traveling. My 2012 Colorado is by far a better vehicle than the old Lux and I've put a lot of work and money into it over the last 4 or 5 months. After watching your new build, I wish I had the money to build something similar from scratch. I'm looking forward to seeing stage 2 and ultimately the 1st of many adventures! I must also say a big thank you to your boss! Bosses like him don't come around too often these days! Once again, congratulations!

Great build on your new rig mate 💯 I'm happy it's all working out for you 👍

Grats mate .. keep them videos coming !v

Enjoy your new wheels Paul & God bless Laurie!

Great to see you on a win mate 🤘😎

Congrats on the rig mate; looking great on the accessories so far.

Mate I'm looking forward to part 2 now. Great video!

Awesome buddy, very good choice and a 'sick 4x4' No excuses on getting those camping videos out there!

Top stuff buddy. Lookin good

Congrats mate! It sounds like you have a job for life there!

Lovely set up 👍

mate that looks amazing and its great to watch you do work on your own vehicle!

Awesome video mate, love it keep up this content 👏🏽

Good on ya mate you deserve it! Hilux is looking awesome already 🤤

Oh to scratch it up in the bush would kill me! Enjoy!

Congrats, things are looking up mate and well done to Busselton Toyota. And this isn't just Toyota but all 4wd makers, they know we add lightbars and 12v accessories. Why the heck don't they make a standard plug and play pickup point for high beams somewhere sensible instead of having to gut the whole car? And why can't they have a simple 12v bussbar behind an easy to access panel somewhere down under the infotainment to power accessories like CB, dashcam, navigation, phone chargers etc.

@Campingdownunder

Australia is a very small market and most other countries don't fit the accessories we fit here in Australia. So they can't design their cars just to please a tiny fraction of the market. Australia is a very unique market and we absolutely love our accessories here. But until we are a bigger market they won't design cars purely for our needs

well done mate well deserved love it!! keep smashing it and huge things to come with adventures in the new bus, bring on the Pilbara??

fantastic to see mate, great to see you find your feet again. and well done to Busselton Toyota too! great to see a company get behind its employees. just a thought but maybe consider doing some more technical videos with installs and wiring etc. especially since you do it everyday! share them little nuggets of knowledge that comes with knowing a platform inside and out. not often a master of his craft has a platform like this to share his knowledge. also 100% agree with the rim choice! I don't think there is a nicer factory wheel out there, my Boss puts them on all our field service Utes and they look a million bucks! looking forward to what's next!

@Campingdownunder

Thanks mate 👍 if you go back through my older vehicles I actually have shared quite a few wiring videos trying to help people out and they did really well. I just have to be careful because showing people how to fit accessories can actually take work away from my employer so it's not something I can do regularly unfortunately. My very first video on KZread was actually me showing how to install a redarc charger. Recorded it with nothing but my phone 😂
