Built Not Bought's farm truck gets its rear tray
Sam Eyles moves the Cummins-powered Cruiser beyond doors and wiring as the channel's daily views jump sharply.
Why this story? The whole channel is running at 178,958 views a day, 11 times a normal day (16,203).
Sam Eyles has reached the back half of his heavily modified farm truck. Built Not Bought's new episode brings a tray to the 79 Series, giving a project previously occupied with doors, wiring and engine work a distinctly practical next step.
The title makes the ambition clear: "I BUILT AUSTRALIAS TOUGHEST FARM TRUCK". That's Eyles's billing, but the work leading here has certainly gone beyond a few farm accessories. The Cruiser pairs a Cummins diesel with an eight-speed automatic, while the preceding episode took the build to Radius Fabrications for an airbox and snorkel.
Built Not Bought added roughly 179,000 views in a day, about eleven times its usual daily pace. That's a channel-wide jump, arriving alongside the tray episode rather than a view count for that upload alone.
When we last covered the Cruiser, the doors were going on. Since then, the series has moved through the wiring process and onto the truck's load-carrying end. For a channel whose most-watched regular upload turns a stock vehicle into a tourer, this is familiar territory: the individual jobs that turn a vehicle into something built for a purpose.
