what is the width of the stomper at the car please

Hahahah I’m with you on your views on life. 👍

With the towbars in these vehicles the chassis has to be drilled out to fit the bolts to mount it into the chassis itself. The only one that doesn’t require drilling is the Single cab variants

Make sure the 240 volt ac is disconnected before touching wiring on thermostats, there is an automatic and a manual thermostat on both the gas and the 240, if you are confident enough the gas and 240 v thermostats are interchangeable . The manual thermos are 75 degree c and automatic are 65 degree c.

Thank you Did the job 👍

Great topic, Really poor video production. Please edit and or check your videos before posting.

The Unicorn Humppers talk about Rising Sea Levels....take a bloody lot of rising to catch up with what created those Cliffs.

Had a 2.8hilux and now have one of the last 79 V8s V8 runs a lot better less revs better fuel consumption Better towing and ride on the highway 79 is a truck that knows its a tuck Not like some Utes that want to be like a truck but feel like a leaf blower

I was just admiring how posh and technical your dash looked when you called it basic! I have a tin dash on my old girl. Regarding the fuel figures those idiots journalists produce. Up to around 100kmph, the fuel consuption gets better as we us higher gears. After 100kmph a bow wave of air starts to form in front of all vehicles. The drag caused increases exponentially as we increase speed after 100. Now, factor in the high drag coefficient of the 70 series. If these idiots who can't open the fuel flap drive the 70 series at normal car speeds, 120 lets say, then they will only achieve 20 per 100

I really appreciate the honesty in your video, it's dissapoiting to see the "influencers" pushing the false information out to the public, shameful really, so many of them got on that bandwagon, makes me wonder what they were paid to promote what they surely knew was bullshit, not to mention the comments regarding the power comparison, if 4 cylinders are matching the power of V8, what's the longevity of the 4 cylinder in comparison to the V8..

Just looking at your bonet protector. Can you tell me where to get one

While the 2.8 is proving to be a good motor, there is a lot of gaslighting about the V8. I have owned a Fortuner, and while the 2.8 was good, the DPF issue was s pain in the backside until it was finally replaced. I have now settled for the long term on a 2009 200 series, and glad I did. In stock form (sahara), it gets between 11.5 to 12.5 l/100km with 320,000km on the clock. As smooth as a Swiss watch, it is so superior to the 2.8, its hard to describe. Stick to the V8 while they are still legal.

It really takes a special kind of cognitive dissonance to believe that a 40+ year old vehicle like this is a good deal for $95,000. Any objective analysis of these old 70 series vehicles would tell you they are not worth more than about $40,000. Toyota would have recouped their design & tooling costs decades ago. I'll bet my house their production costs are very, very low. So every time you succumb to the cultural horseshit around these old tractors, and you hand over $95,000+ you're being scammed. Toyota is laughing at you. Their profit margins would be off the scale. I'm sure the executives in Tokyo cannot believe we pay their asking price. They are the single worst value vehicle on the market. You get so little for so much money - and the only "reasoning" you have is the badge on the bonnet. The people that buy these value the "membership" to the LandCruiser club more than they value sound economics. As someone who has no particular brand loyalty, it's fascinating watching this whole weird Aussie obsession with these old shit boxes. It's like paying an extra $1 million for a house in a suburb with a median price of $900k. Insanity.

Can you ever trust media, tuned 78 series 2021, averaged high 8 to 9.5, 80k on clock, 13l towing 2.8t journey outback, everyone in media has an agenda, paid for comments all media is full of it, people are starting to wake up.

0:32 "Obviously a push by the press to get everyone to buy the 2.8" - just because your feelings are hurt doesn't equate to looney bin conspiracy 🤦

My 2011 76-Series V8 Workmate - Avg 13l-14l/100km hand recorded daily over 12months, 3 adults, rooftop tent drag and 1-Ton equipment on board the whole time. 13.5l/100km over Simpson Desert. 13,5l/100km over Canning Stock Route. Shane (North Otago NZ)

I received my 76 V8 last week after a 33 month wait. I’m now selling it as it doesn’t suit my needs anymore, a lot changes in 33 months. I think I’m going to track down a pre dpf dual cab 79. Good video & enjoy your new ride 👍

The V8 is by design a very inefficient engine due to internal friction. The previous straight 6 gets 11 litre per 100km and that was a more efficient design.

All I see in this video is a dilusional man trying to convince himself that he has a good vehicle. Maaate, hill start assist was on 4x4's 20 years ago at half the price. You've bought an under performing over priced slug. It may be still on the road in 30 years time but only if you keep pumping money into maintenance. The tech is already 30 years old, so in 30 years time who wants to be driving around in 60 year old technology. 70 series Land Cruisers are for knuckle draggers.

Ive owned every model landcruiser including 5 79 series v8. They all did between 10.7-11.5 average except my 2020 dual cab. It went from 11 to 16 litres per 100. I got no help from toyota. I can say the gearbox didnt feel “right” and i had issues with the clutch from 5000k. Due to covid it did no towing and nil load carrying. So there was no “lifestyle” changes. Anyway i got the shits and sold it. Bought a hilux to try the 2.8 with the auto before I buy a 4 cyl 70. So far the reviews are good My hilux does 9.1/100 which is about the same as the 300. Still have a 1979 FJ45 with genuine 113,000k… it does 18-20 litres per hundred regardless of load/weather/flat or hilly 🤣🤣🤣

How would you compare this to a 150 Prado? Practical for a family?

Nice vehicle mate love the V8 I still drive a 2002 normally aspirated 1hz 540,000k and I get 1100k easy from 180 ltrs of fuel and I think that’s pretty good for what it is and the job it does thanks for the info

I have a tuned 79, 4ton loaded on tow mode, I get 13.5 on 35inch tires, Iam happy with that , also mate, if your going anywhere near dirt, change that airbox

Its a brick with wheels zero aerodynamics of course youre nevee gonna to see below 15 per 100. Unless its a 4cyl model.

So when should you tighten that towbar bolt?

The 2.8 has more power , which is embarrassing,however then it’s a underpowered underperforming bogan 💩box the v8

My stock 2020 79 GXL gets 10.6 to 11 l/100km (with bullbar, winch, canvas canopy, gull wing toolbox full of spares). I recently did a trip towing my 2.5t caravan from Brisbane down through Young/ Mansfield/ Phillip Island/ Cooma/ Canberra/ Oberon/ Brisbane (4600 km and lots of hills) and averaged 16.6 l/100km. I read about owners getting 25+ l/100km towing and can only think they push it alot harder than I do but each to their own. I sit on 95 - 100 on the highway so I'm very happy with the fuel consumption and love the vehicle.

20L/100 would be for towing.

I also have a 2019 76 GXL V8 purchased new in 2020. Stock standard it consistently had 10.6-10.9L per 100km. With 33s, barwork, winch, bash plates, roof rack, awnings, drawers and good amount of weight and it is consistently 14-15L per 100.

10:57 what flavour car freshener do you have/recommend for this vehicle model please?

I have a 2019 V8 Landcruiser 76 wagon and my average fuel consumption is 10L /100Km for general around town and highway driving. When towing my 13' Hybrid caravan, I average around 15.5 L/ 100Km. I also have just completed the bottom half of the Canning stock route South to North and averaged 15L / 100Km. The car is basically bog standard with no tune. As you mentioned, the fuel economy is actually a lot better than the press mentions provided it's driven conservatively and doesn't have every accessory known to man bolted on the outside.

Gday mate. I’ve had my new facelifted model 76 series since Feb. I’ve just clocked 16500km averaging 10.5l/100. They’re not for everyone but I love it.

"Anti-rattle Bolt"...you're not on your own bloke🙈

Bob the Builder😂

Thank you. Worked like a charm.

Hope you got it tuned and some decent suspension, they need it, if you went from a 200 into that crap you are not quite right Your wife will hate it with a passion ,silly decisions

Sick truck mate,last longer than the 200 and the shape will always look cool .

You need to measure from the top of the tyre to the wheel arch, not the road to the Wheel arch.

You put the exhaust on afterwards, it's a YOU problem. Stone stomper should vet who they sell too , clearly your stupid.

You don't tow in top gear the gear box will get damaged same with automatic

Very educational video, I thought it was just millennials that blame others when they fuck up.

If this is being used primarily for touring with a caravan, where’s the value in running bigger wheels and tyres? Bigger rolling resistance and unsprung weight? Just curious but love the car!

Big downgrade from a 200 series..

The 2.8 has more torque and hp than the V8. Its also not the same spec as a prodo/hilux.

Very nice 👍😎

Need some bellows airbags on the rear leaves

I’m a Toyota Mechanic If your gonna tow with a cruiser tow in 4th as it’s a 1:1 ratio if you load in 5th it will drop the revs buy it will load the gearbox up you could down the track upgrade the suspension to handle the weight of your van it will be more comfortable when it’s on also you can get a throttle controller which has settings of normal up to instant throttle reaction and do a nice multi map tune with different settings also clear view has mirrors that you can get that are normal and you can pull out for towing

I envy your manual gearbox. My Minister for War purchased herself an MUX to go with her upgraded 21.5 van...but I'm the muppet that has to do the towing...and I absolutely despise the hooer of a thing!!! It's in and out of top gear like a dog with two willies...and don't even get me started on all that Driver Assist crap. This 66 year old grumpy old coot just wants plugs and points, a manual gearbox, manual windows, and a key that you turns. Love your videos brother!

I left a message on your last video. We tow with a 76 V8 too:) I laughed watching your wife’s reaction when you asked about the ride comfort and noise because my wife was exactly the same, but she got used to it after a few trips. I hope things go the same way for you:) The fourth gear is apparently much stronger than fifth due the design of the gear box. Our preferred speed for comfort, and, wear and tear to the gear box is around 85 or just under, in fourth gear (unless we’re in a single lane with traffic behind us, then keep up with traffic), but I can understand it’s too slow for many. You clearly love your new truck. Great choice. Congratulations:)

We tow a 21 ft long, semi off road caravan with a 2020 76 Series V8 and I love towing with it. I tow in fourth gear and coast in fifth. I love touring with a swag in it, getting off the bitumen or just driving to work. Luxury and getting to our destination at speed limits was not a priority for us. We’re pretty relaxed when we travel. My wife had a few words to say about the ride and noise initially, but she’s fine with it now. We both love going away in it. These trucks really grow on you. They’re ugly, but beautiful at the same time:) They are very tough and reliable. Pure functionality. After parking your van, you can truly explore. These are very capable off road. If others think there are better options, let them buy those vehicles. We all buy what suits us the most. No vehicle is perfect for all our needs. I can’t imagine selling mine until I can no longer drive, and at 64 years old, I hope it’s not any time soon:) You made a great choice👍Congratulations with your purchase. These may cost a little more to buy and accessorise but they sure keep their value and last a lot longer than most other 4x4’s.
