Jock McDonald
Jocko is the kind of bloke that’s more comfortable flexed up on 3 wheels than at a traffic light in the city. He lives and breathes technical, tough 4WDing – he’s either wheeling hard tracks in one of his Toyota HiLuxes, or at home in his shed fixing them for the next trip.

JOCKO & HIS HILUX
Leave any 4WD in Jocko’s hands for long enough and it’ll turn into a proper off-road weapon. Take his HiLux for example – it was stock as a rock a few years ago and now its a solid-axle-swapped beast with a full custom suspension setup, 35s, reductions gears, and battle scars from the toughest 4WD challenges in Australia.
With a great technical and mechanical mind – Jocko is a proper gear head who knows how to customize a 4WD to do what you want it to do.

THE PONY LUX
Jocko is the very proud owner of a forever increasing number of Toyota Hilux's, and the proud owner of the title of a Hilux Nerd. Jocko's collection of Hilux's extend from a red 1982 Hilux he is restoring at home in the shed, to the famous "Pony Lux" budget Hilux, to his solid axel Hilux with reduction gears on 35" tyres - a rock crawling weapon!

DIY MASTER
As you have probably gathered, Jocko is our resident DIY guru. All his Hilux builds have been done in the comfort of his own shed, including building a DIY canopy and the restoration of his iconic 1982 "Thousand Buck Lux".

When Jocko is not travelling the country hunting the toughest 4WD tracks, Jock iss living in his shed constantly tinkering on his countless Hilux's in NSW
Haha, while this is a running joke with fans and the crew, Jock and Graham aren't a Father-Son 4WD duo.
