![Camping in a classic Land Cruiser | ASMR - Solo Adventure Travel in Utah [S6E11]](/img/n.gif)
"Okami" is the Japanese word for wolf. Might be a good name for the Land Cruiser.
Luv to watch ya Luke! I'd much rather watch you brave the elements than drag my butt in the freezing wet snow wind and rain!
I dig your meal plans, I've ate some of your concoctions at home! Even eat some of the MRE's! Lol
i think thats a really cool name actually, great idea. I hope luke see's this comment
The Ippikio -okami ( The lone wolf ) -匹狼 here it is in block font. Before my retirement due to illness I used to be an artist. I could easily knock something up to turn into a stencil file. That is, if Luke likes it. It just seems kinda fitting a Japanese lone wolf for the vehicle.
Good to see you driving on the correct side of the vehicle, as nature intended...
Funny. We got it right. The people over there got it all wrong.
It’s called ‘right’ for a reason.
The population of countries that drive on the right is only +/- 30pct of the world population. So how can driving on the right remotely be considered right?
@@thoughtfuloutrage5563 History. Almost everyone of those started driving on the left.
@@HughJarsz History is to be learned from, not be adhered to. I suppose we've learned that left is right. 😄
Hard to believe it is 30 years old, legendary Japanese quality. My Suzuki GS550 is still going well after 40 years.
I’m from Boone and I’ve hiked the Linville area several times. When I started to overland, my first vehicle choice was a Land Cruiser of the same era you got but they were so difficult to find. So, I purchased a 2012 FJ Cruiser Trail Teams Special Edition for that purpose. I would recommend you upgrade the shocks on your Land Cruiser as they sound “shot” as your rig was not taking those pot holes well.
Luke, mate… 17:37 onwards, when that thumpin’ beat starts up and the cinematic footage of the mountain climbing into the clouds begins? WOW man! Just… wow! That’s the best footage I’ve seen on your channel so far. Mind… absolutely… blown! 🤯
same thought
Been watching you for a couple of years now just want to say thanks for taking us on all these adventures
AMEN there! ever since my stroke in Alaska, [ i lived the outdoor life ] the outdoor gear review is all i get now, i was FOOL enough to move to #$% Pa [ my home state ] and living RIGHT in the town of Butler blows as im just stuck here. its so lame compared to AK.😴
@@brianbarton2106 Pennsylvania is an absolutely beautiful state but I don't think anything can beat the beautiful Alaska.
I hope your recovery is going well and maybe you will be able to go back.
Shaggy!
Sho, can be the name of the truck..
Luke maybe call it the Wolf Cruiser.
To answer the other comment, through my illness I watch Luke around 2/3 am when I can't sleep and yes the adventures relax me. Thx Luke.
That second yawn made me yawn and as soon as I stopped yawning I chuckled to myself and muttered "did I get ya?" And lo and behold you actually said it for the first time in a while, right after I said it! Haha
Does anyone else find watching Luke cook to be very relaxing? I also makes me hungry!
Literally started eating Cheetos when he cooked
I actually put these on when I got to bed
Very much so, and so wish I had the time to go do camping and hiking as much as he does.
😂 lol and it makes you want to spend your money, I’ve bought several items from Luke’s recommendations and I must say I’m very pleased. He’s really spot on with product reviews. 10/10 ! 🫡 👍
I weigh 245 pounds and eat half as much as Luke at one sitting….lol
Hi, Luke. I don't generally comment, but ALWAYS faithfully watch! Just want to say that it's very much appreciated for the way you approach camping and life in general-reminding us it's the simplest things that truly matters. As someone who enjoys escaping to the Blue Ridge of Va as often as I can *and my hubby and I have considered an off-grid cabin like yours, seeing the easy way you take each adventure is so relatable. We are looking at options now for an RV as my back (and now neck) continue to worsen, but we will not give up our own adventures. Thanks, again Luke! It's so fun to come along with you.
Sorry to ask but do you go to a chiropractor?
The sound of that rain is music to my ears!! 💧
Land Cruiser best adventure vehicle ever made. Glad they bringing it back to the states
I had the V6 version of the Toyota Landcruiser for many years in Dubai, and used it for desert driving. (The V8 was far to heavy on the front wheels, and could dig into the sand.) It had two fuel tanks with a capacity of 145 litres ( about 38 U.S.gallons). It also had provision for a second 12 volt battery if you were going to really remote places! An awesome vehicle with a solid reputation for reliability.
You could call the vehicle The 442,
"Go for Broke"(442nd motto) or something to that effect, honoring WW2 regiment; 442nd Infantry Regiment (Japanese: 第442歩兵連隊) was an infantry regiment of the United States Army. The regiment is best known as the most decorated in U.S. military history and as a fighting unit composed almost entirely of second-generation American soldiers of Japanese ancestry (Nisei) who fought in World War II.
Land Cruisers are amazing vehicles. Absolutely bomb-proof. One of my best memories of a right-hand drive vehicle is having a passenger in it asleep. The amount of shocked looks you get from other road users is hilarious! They're fast asleep at the wheel! 😂😂
Your logic, reasoning and priorities are excellent ....."Am I going to eat all this - of course I am". 👍 From the UK
Landy McCruise-Face!
It’s nice too see the steering wheel on the proper side 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
✌️🇺🇸🇬🇧 🇳🇿🇦🇺 🇯🇵✌️
That Land Cruiser is really cool. Legendary vehicle!
Good to see you driving on the right side of the car and using the correct unit of measuring speed.
That thing is a beast and will take whatever you can throw at it 🥰 the only thing you need to do is always have an oil change every 5000 miles and that's it. Can't wait for you to make more 4*4 camping videos 😍
Just throwing this out there…. If you plan on using that winch, pull it out and check it. If it’s an original, it probably uses steel cable. Best to check over it and make sure it’s spooled right so you don’t have to find out it’s bad when you need it out on the trail. Nice rig though! Congrats on the find. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Oh my goodness how you slept thru the night…..but this is your story to tell, and I will listen. Blessing to you for sharing your life journey. Thank you
Luke....I'm blown away🤯🤯🤯....Love your new ride😍😍😍..Lc80 👍👍....can't wait for your new adventures🤟🤟
I am so jealous of this vehicle! You have the coolest taste in trucks, I even loved your old diesel pickup, though this one is definitely more suited to camping! As for a name, it definitely needs a Japanese spin to honor it's past adventures. There was a now extinct Japanese wolf called the Honshu wolf, might be cool to try to incorporate that into the name. Can't wait to see more adventures in this truck!
cars are always named after a women. -almost every 50+ year old
Join IH8MUD, baseline all the hoses, especially the PHH (pesky heater hose), ditch the running boards and get sliders
Looking so forward to your adventures in your new land cruiser. Keep up the great videos.
That’s a good looking jeep for over 30 years old my best friend had one until he passed we loved it what a tool
My friend from Western NC has taken me there several times. What a great vehicle. A 1973 FJ-40 was the first vehicle I ever owned.
Brilliant work. Such a fantastic Man. I grew up with the LC my whole life in Australia, great pick. Enjoy.
That vehicle would rock for the mail carriers.
Cheers!!! Glad you still like the mug!!
Best "overland" vehicle ever. The places I've gone in mine (1997 3X-locked Collector's Edition) have enriched my life in countless ways. What an amazing vehicle. They get you to the destination, goes anywhere you want and best of all they bring you back home. One thing tho: It's not a V6 it is a straight 6. 😊
You don't support the *American* auto worker!!!
@@jonothandoeser he likes good build quality.
@@slots1407 Then buy an original Army Jeep! He MUST support the American worker!
@@slots1407 ignorance is curable
@@jonothandoeser lol. Jeeps. Recognise even amongst people like me that work in the car industry as a vehicle to avoid in all circumstances.
Nice vehicle! For a 30 year old car it looks incredible. Looking forward to your modifications and future trips. My you and yours have a very Merry Christmas. Thank you for posting your videos.
I haven't heard the yawn owl in so long, it was nice to see it's return.
Love the Cruiser..Most amazing vehicle.. I would suggest a roofrack and a side mounted roof tarp. They are retractable into a box which is secured to the rack, almost like a pull down blind.
Hi Luke. Great find on the "TLC",,lol. I'd definitely replace the shocks with some nitrogen precharge coil overs. Not too bad on the bank but a great investment and longevity is there. I've offroaded for over 40 years and went through many of trial and error parts and mock ups. A friend of mine does dash backing overlays for all sorts of vehicles. He was in our club when I was in PA. His name as Azzy and does a great job. Can make them in white as most people want that upgrade to see better. I'm looking forward to what you and Susie do with this beast. As far as names; my wolf in a game is called "SKYWISE" as self explanatory. You have my blessing to use it if wanted. Please mainly you and Susie have a nice and wonderful Merry Christmas and hope to see you soon. Gods Peace to All.~
Following you now for about 3 years. Absolutely brilliant mate. Strength and honour. From England
Luke I drive a 94 Honda Acty and I love that thing. Welcome to the right-hand drive JDM club 🔰
I love listening to the rain..
The small modifications over time will be fun to see happen with this Land Cruiser, I see it'll mostly be used on the harder more rugged trails that maybe you've been wanting to travel again.I'll be looking forward to this series.
Congratulations on the "new" Land Cruiser. I also have an 80 series - a 1994 FZJ80. So, the same engine as yours. It's not the fastest or most powerful but they are very reliable! Can't wait to see future camping videos with the 80. My wife and I go camping all over the place with our 80. Has never let us down! By the way, if you plan on getting rid of that stove/sink setup I would be happy to pay to take it off your hands. Also if you would ship it to Canada :). I love old Land Cruiser stuff and would be happy to try and fix the stove and use it in our Land Cruiser. Just a thought.
Very reliable? From what I know they are the MOST reliabile vehicles. Other SUV's don't come close to this thing.
Grow the pie, love what you're doing Ray, it's what we call having a go down under, the doubters can you know.😉
Ann
GOTZIA.
Great Name👍🏼👌🏼🏆🦖🐉
Hey Luke - You can find 3D Printed cup holders that fit nicely inside the ash tray. That's the route I went with my JDM Import.
Amazing Luke! We love your new vehicle! How about a roof rack/ storage?! And btw, concerning your toy hauler, if you haven't named it, how about Stella 1?! There's bound to be a Stella 2! And this new family member ,Tokyo Rose!!
Cheers from Phoenix
p.s. we agree with you that the Japanese are wonderful people
Tokyo Rose is a wonderful suggestion given the history of Tokyo Rose and how the truck will be flagship for outdoor adventures and no BS.
Had a “89” Toyota Landcruiser. Me n the kids loved it. Had butcher block lid for center console and covering entire tailgate. Was great off-road and in snow. Biggest mistake getting rid of it. Got a 78 FJ55 now. So much fun. I do believe the plush carpet is common.
That makes me feel kinda a " special" viewer, I'm from 1992 too.. Great choice man !!
Luke, I am sooo envious! Would you mind detailing the process of importing and licensing these vehicles and the cost?
Goggle search it.
That backup beeper has to go. Great drone shot up into the cloud. Nice editing work.
I enjoy sitting in the truck watching the rain. I often have a Thermus of coffee beside me on the front seat. I keep the camera close in case I see any critters. I'll cheat and sometimes use the truck heater for a warmup. A single seater truck warms up in a snap.
Now you can work for the postal service and do rural routes. It won't be any problem delivering mail. They all have right hand drive vehicles. I was stationed in Japan and drove a 1976 Toyota Celica GT. Loved it! Snorkel will do more than you think. Your air comes from the fenderwell where dirt is kicked up by the tires. That will dirty your filter quickly. The snorkel will bring in clean air from above the vehicle and will help the engine last longer. If you look at the military vehicles, they have a snorkel with a dirt/dust collector to catch the debris before it gets into the engine.
Luke👍👍 Can't go wrong with a Toyota dirt machine. I've had many over the years and some I wish I still had like a 77' FJ40 and a 80' FJ45 p/u. Modding yours for camping and such will be a fun journey and a shock to your wallet but what a journey it will be. This was a great video showing off the Land Cruiser, good score. Too bad no campfire, next time maybe. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and the family. See ya next time.
Started out with one of the first built LCs and owned many through the years. Best ever vehicle in the bush n farm in Oz. Shame they became a show type instead of a workhorse. One of mine did over half million Ks . Bushyboy Oz.
Yet another great video! And nice to see you driving on the "right" side! LoL Be interesting to see how you get on with a smaller vehicle, as we don't get pickups as large as yours in the UK.
Curtains or window shades for additional privacy at night. A portable air compressor. Great for air mattress, low tires, and blowing out dirt from the back of the vehicle. You already have the Jackery to run it.
Best choice , cannot go wrong with that Land cruiser. be safe
Nice vehicle. These land cruisers are legendary and nearly indestructible. Look forward to seeing it in more of your adventures. Btw, the tinting is a great idea. However, be careful not to run afoul of NC law on this which limits tinting to 32% and to not extend more than 5 inches below the top of the edge of the windshield or 5 inches below the as1 line on the windshield. People have been pulled over and ticketed in this state for applying tint that is “too dark”. It is silly but as you say “it is what it is”.
Did the vehicle come with springs and shocks?
Love it! Hope the SUV is good to you and Susan for adventures to come.
Also, since the SUV will be "hunting" for its adventures, how about Jaegar? Jaegers and Kaijus are always fighting in Japanese media.
I enjoy car camping. It is the sturdiest and safest place to be overall..Especially if weather is going south..Nice truck and good choice..!!
I'd name her the (Grey Wolf) or (Spirit Wolf) would fit the the theme of your channel. Those are very strong trucks and Japanese know how to keep there vehicle's well maintained. Great video and the truck is awesome.
That landcruise is so damn clean! hope you keep it till the end, they don't make cars/trucks robust like that anymore, it's a true gem.. I miss my (cousin of the landcruiser) 1997 4runner.
Luke, you should have gone all in and choose manual gears as well. :D Hope you have metric tools also. Haha! Not that you need them much with that car, but just in case. Have to say, you managed find nice Wolf Cruiser! 🐺Seems to be in good condition. 👍
If you swap the radio look at speaker upgrades too. Personal experience, in these old Toyotas the cardboard speakers they used to use will be dry rotted by now and sound awful.
Also Did you import it or buy it from an importer? I’d like to hear about the process if you have any insights. I need to ship my 60 series back to NC when I leave NZ next year.
hello, first of all thanks for the great content, one of the things that helps the most is adding insulation between the sheet of the car and the interior plastic, the best thing is that it does not take up space within the usable area inside the car.
A true beast of a vehicle…owned one myself and went EVERYWHERE with it!!❤
As someone who overlands with a 35 year old Volvo wagon I would recomend changing all the fluids, you don't know when they were done last, and then changing all the suspension bushings and shocks and springs and the inner and outer tierod ends and ball joints. Those parts would smooth out the ride and eliminate a lot of the creaking and popping.
Hi mate these are common in AUSTRALIA what I might suggest for yours (1) Roof Rack for extended trips (2) High Lift Jack quicker and easier than a normal jack plus it can fit on the spare wheel
That thing is MINT. Love it!
Call it Rip Van Winkle. Awakened from his sleep to find himself in a whole new world.
"Rowdy" comes to mind for a name! Love your videos!
I drove an up-armored 80 series land cruiser in afghanistan for 8 months. i loved having that console fridge, especially on 120f days. ice cold rip-its and shock coffee were a nice treat to come back to after long mission days.
YES!!! I’m excited about this one!
This suits your style and Chanel. It’s all gear after all. Enjoying this. 👌🏼
That sounds so relaxing
Man in the Land
Awesome cars the 80s series’s are everywhere in Australia and are some of the only cars that can truly hold up to our harsh environment
The name I thought of is "The Claw" and every wolf has one. Lots of adventures coming in that beast.
I think a simple overland rig would be perfect. Keep it clean and oem with a couple tasteful upgrades
Yessss! You got one of my favorite vehicles
A cruiser with honor
I purchased a1983 land cruiser wagon new, and have had several offroad vehicles before and after that. The land cruiser was by far my favorite. And that's with three jeeps from 1955 to 2006 in my possession as I write this.
Sumo would be a good name. Big, slow, rugged, strong and almost impossible to stop.
I would love to have a Land Cruiser. They’re beasts!
I never comment but love your Land Cruiser. The price of them have skyrocketed so much since Covid I’ve never found one that clean.
Can’t wait for more videos.
I'd start with a reverse beeper delete, then I'd recommend a 6" lift (with new bilstein shocks), 38" super swampers (with a full size spare), a rooftop tent, traction boards to level the vehicle out while its parked, a fire extinguisher, an mph sticker for your speedometer, a snorkel, at the VERY least, 7 lightbars, custom front and rear bumpers (brush guard out front) with a 12k lb winch, Lexus LS 400 performance exhaust, rock sliders, front and rear lockers, manual hubs, a hitch mounted toilet, Yosemite Sam mud flaps, an onboard ARB air compressor, curb feelers, a chrome accent kit from Advance Auto Parts, window visors, a cup holder, two 12" kickers in a box with a 1000w amp, a welder, a built-in overland espresso maker, at LEAST 47 stickers for the rear windows, an axe/shovel mount, and a minimum 180° awning. Just my .02.....🤣
As for the name.....call it GOAT (as in greatest of all time) and if you stand by your claim, it should climb like a goat too! YWIA (you're welcome in advance)!
*Hopefully by now you've noticed I given you some ideas with a bit of sarcasm sprinkled in (free of charge) for a laugh... *
These all old landcruisers are beast on snow and mud i wish had one.
I was young when we got stuck in the Linville gorge, the man that was our guide ran 6 miles back to his truck to pick us boys up, ill never forget it.
He said people get lost here all the time
Old black betty's a beauty " awesome truck Luke.
The land cruiser, Billie goat
I also like the cabin trailer you have shown too.
The Toyota Land Cruiser would probably be the most popular 4x4 in Australia for the past 40 years
Love, love, love the new ride. She's a beauty. My daughter was born the same year as your new toy.
Super excited to see all the upcoming adventures with her.
I would go with either "the dog house" or "the wolf den". Cause you already have "the cabin". Both are small places to sleep. The "wolf den" keeps with the theme of the channel and the miles a wolf can cover in a single day. And the "dog house" would just be a fun thing to say when you're out alone. "Well it looks like I'm in the doghouse. Or Susie's at home and i'm in the doghouse again". 🤣
That looks fun in a vehicle like that. And the dinner looks delicious!
A fire extinguisher that is compact for safety when cooking in the vehicle. Stay safe. 👍
Oh, and have fun getting parts
You got yourself a treeclimber!
And it looks like you got a well treated one too. Congrats.
You will not regret your choice of a vehicle. Just make sure you got a set if good tires with it.
Name idea, The S.A.H. Cruiser. Strength And Honor.
*YES! YES! YES!....In your previous vid when you were talking about what to get...I was almost shouting at the screen. The Toyota Landcruiser!.... If you go to Australia and head out bush. All you will see are Nissan Patrols and Toyota Landcruisers. There's a bloody good reason for that. THEY SIMPLY WORK!!!.... Fantastic to see that you went for the Cruiser.... Good one mate!* Rob
So we "Land Cruiser Community" expect you to do more videos with this beautiful 80.
They're ubiquitous and legendary in Australia....classic
