Doors go on Built Not Bought's Cummins-powered 79 Series
The Cruiser's latest build episode pairs a 6BT Cummins with an eight-speed automatic as finishing jobs get attention.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
The 79 Series is Nearly Finished - 6BT Cummins + 8 Speed Auto
Built Not Bought left the upload calendar clear, but the Cruiser project gives viewers something concrete to catch up on. In “The 79 Series is Nearly Finished - 6BT Cummins + 8 Speed Auto,” the doors get built and several smaller jobs are completed. Posted just before this week began, it has reached roughly 136,000 views and is the channel's busiest video right now.
The active catalog offers a useful contrast: the heavily modified build sits alongside “This Might Be Australia’s Most Overbuilt 79 Series.” and “Testing Australia’s Most Overrated 4WD,” in which Sam Eyles tests a stock 79 Series and gives his verdict. Factory specification or a Cummins swap, there is more than one way into this Cruiser story.
The channel added about 1,000 subscribers over the week, though daily viewing is running well below its usual pace. Nearby motoring channels Bandita Drive and SocialOrbit had much larger viewing weeks; The Skid Factory was quieter too, with daily views below its norm. For Built Not Bought, the nearly finished Cruiser remains the main draw during the upload break.
