  1. 2:43Brocko builds a wooden rear storage deck with fake turf and a dedicated beer fridge.
  2. 4:49Removing the rear differential exposes significant damage and water intrusion.
  3. 5:39A pump, water container and pierced garden hose become a homemade radiator-flushing system.
  4. 10:20Brocko lowers the electric window using a tool battery, then fits a panel for the bilge pump outlet.
  5. 12:59A replacement starter motor and battery lead to the test of whether the LandCruiser will start.
  6. 14:52Jock supplies chest waders for scouting mud holes, followed by footage previewing the Tasmania expedition.

"You know this vehicle doesn't actually run yet, right?" Jock asks Brocko, who is busy giving an old LandCruiser a wooden storage deck, fake turf and a beer fridge.

That difference in priorities gives 4WD 24-7's latest garage episode its personality. The build has drawn roughly 135,000 views in 21 hours, putting it on course for a first-day audience about ten times the channel's usual start.

The Toyota is Jesse Gleeson's old Cape York 60 Series, handed over to Zach "Brocko" Burrows for a Tasmania expedition. Its engine failed on the Cape York trip, and a replacement kept it going. Now Jock McDonald and Brocko have to sort out what else the battered vehicle needs before another muddy outing.

There is plenty. The rear differential contains water and significant damage. Brocko makes a radiator-flushing system from a pump, a water container and a garden hose pierced with holes. Raised differential breathers help prepare it for water crossings, while a bilge pump gets an outlet through a perspex window panel. A boat-style solution is a telling addition to a Toyota headed for deep mud.

Between those repairs, Brocko keeps working on his onboard bar. Jock's reminder that the vehicle still needs to run is the useful counterweight to all that enthusiasm.

Viewers are discussing Brocko's arrival, with one recalling his earlier vehicle posts on Instagram, while others are asking for the Tasmania trip itself. The build closes with expedition footage and an October 15 announcement: the shed work is the introduction to Brocko taking the 60 into Tasmania, accompanied by Jock in the HiLux.
