- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- Say hello to 1 of 80 Toyota Galaxies ever built! This special camper just landed in her new home after a long journey from Japan, to Oregon, and finally all the way to New England.
At nearly 30 years old (and with only 60k miles!) this girl is in the prime of her life. New adventures are coming soon, but in the meantime have a look at the Galaxy in her natural state while it lasts. With a little love and TLC, she'll be getting upgrades left and right.

Thank you so much for so many kind comments and messages of support! We've been super busy tying up loose ends in our lives so we can spend more time traveling in the Galaxy very soon. This includes some awesome upgrades to the interior. I promise we are documenting everything and will have a bunch of new videos coming your way. Stay tuned!
Looking forward for the new videos

Toyota please make this again in 2022!!
They did.
Congratulations dear they hear u 😁
It’s not the same! There’s something I can’t identify wrong with the way the 2022 looks n feels.
For.sure.its my dream camper 4×4 desiel composite no wood air.bags the list goes.on
They really should. But they will cost 150000
Do you know that in your Google app at the bottom of the screen there is a translator. You just point your phone camera at what ever that you need to have translated, will be translated. 🦋😊🦋
my late dad had this exact hilux galaxy (but with chevy colorado taillights) parked at my grandma's house and is still there today! oh the memories!
Would it b for sale
@@randywilson6869 nope! most people out in the streets ask that a lot, my half family would sometimes take it out for road trips in burma. but yeah, that's how rare they are over there.
I'd buy that from him in a heartbeat
Awesome rig. You two are so fortunate to have it. What about the fridge? Did I miss it in the video? Regarding the musty smell. I would NOT use fabreeze or any other commercial air freshener because they contain toxic ingredients. I’d diffuse essential oils, use a dehumidifier and/or ozone air purifier. Also thoroughly launder all textiles or better yet replace with organic cotton. Good luck and please post another video after you’ve made changes!
I like this little campe 🚌 RV. Good luck with it & your 🔆 adventures! I thought you were going to make a comment on the two ☕ cup holders in the bath. Have you used them yet?
Congrats guys it's very nice 👌
Good find better than alot of the new ones more character😂👍
I love all of this!! You guys are adorable! Yay for adventuring 👏🏻💙
to get rid of any musty, smoke, stale, questionable bad odors: slice up about ten limes and place them throughout the vehicle and cut up a few and put in a cup of water, within 24 hours, your vehicle will smell great! ofcourse, washing the cushions and covers, wiping everything down with a cleaning detergent nd using fab breeze combined will result in PERFECTION!
You can do that with bowls/saucers of vinegar as well which is cheaper.
You guys have a treasure
All I was thinking about when the hood was popped is throwing in a 2jz with a nice borg warner turbo setup and hitting anti lag on people. Imagine the look on people's faces. This thing is like my dream home.
Pretty darn killer. 😊.
I’ll be interested to see what that huge bump is on the door. 4WD is super.
Five lug wheels are part of a recall. Check on that for sure.
Over a van, the shell expands on the truck chassis by an order of magnitude. The storage, kitchen can be home built but hardly to the extent you have here. And a toilet is so much better than my Vanagon.
Love the restroom there and also the excellent use of space. I vote for using the dinette as the bed and couch, and the upper bunks for storage, such as for guitars and amps :)
I think you're onto something! We've taken a couple trips and quickly learned the dinette bed is much more spacious. We're likely going to use the upper bunk for storage & as the den/bed for our doggo :)
Hello Galaxy,, wow,, I like your Nice Toyota pick up truck Cozy home.. is the body of the Truck a Fiber Glass ? What material is that ? Waiting for Reply.. your new Subscriber..
Yes it is fiber glass!
@@CarolynJoAnn oh i see, the body is a Fiber Glass😊 Thanks brother!!
WOW, this is a great looking compact RV with 4 wheel drive. In regards to removing the AC, take into account where you want to go camping and if it is the same age as the RV it most likely doesn't work as well as a newer model. I'm sure that most of the musty smell are in the fabric of the curtains and seat covers. A good cleaning will help. This RV is a great find.
Great find! However, did you intentionally or unintentionally forget to mention/showcase your refrigerator?
@samcaballero1538 the OG fridge didn’t work 🥲 I think the first thing we did way back when we first got it was take it out to tinker with.
Good deal.
Ozone generators are great for removing smells and cleaning.
Thanks Robert, we'll look into that!
Yeah that's honestly the best way to go nothing will work like that will, you just have to be careful dont want to inhale the ozone it produces
IN 1992 I DROVE FROM LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA TO MEXICO EXACTLLY ON ONE LIKE THAT BUT MODEL 1979
just awsom
I love everything. But leaving the candle burning (Open flame). Not good. I hate it, as it could cause an accident. To get rid of the smell. Give the inside a valet steam clean and wipe down. Happy travels. Regards
nice
My 92 Toyota Hilux is the best truck I've ever had.
nice. Keep the ac if it works, you will want one.
I can’t wait to hopefully see it in person!
Do you want to sale and how much you want sale
This is my dream RV to travel the whole Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand
Toyota needs bring this style back modern USA chassis
On a tundra!😊
I like your idea to add fan, ditch the A/C. With that things ability to go down some less traveled trails, I know I would hit tree branches at some point.
One of my best RV for our country roads and well equipped
Put carpet back or vinyl to protect fiberglass floor. It’s slippery when wet with snow. Must protect glass from footwear. It can’t be replace and it’s cold in winter. Your fiberglass floor was a 1992 formula it must be babied.
She is so happy for what she has and very positive taking it forward, beautiful woman.
So......what’d ya have to pay for it?
A lot
Where can we go to buy one of these?
What’s up guys! I found you on tiktok I LOVE THE TRUCK! I live out of my element full time and just hit 1k subs good luck with your channel! I’d your ever in Southern California let’s collab!
I really like the exterior of your motor home, it has a rugged look to it. There are air conditioner hoses and an compressor in the engine compartment. A generator speaks volumes for energy capability’s. I hope everything functions properly now so you can begin to enjoy your, new to you, great motor home!!!
You have to clean every inch of the inside with terry cloth towels and Lysol with bleach and of course elbow grease. A bag of terry cloth towels is cheap and can be washed and reused. Then you have to pull the foam and covers and wash them. Soak the foam blocks in heavy bleach water. Any moldy wood has to go or be painted if it’s not terrible. A lot of it’s in the foam cushions and fabric though so that helps a lot. Just got a probably way worse musty/mold smell out of a 50 year old 1971 vw westy bus.
Epic find thx sharing never saw one before
ROUGHTRAX 4X4 for Hiilux out of England quality parts doesn't cost alot for shipping.
Febreeze works pretty well on odors. Hope you guys have a great time!
Moth balls work as well.
So happy for you!!! My Caravan feels so little. Can't wait to see what your imagination does with it!
Is this a stickshift, then?
Thanks Marie! We can’t wait either :) yes she is stick shift. We’ll be practicing in our neighborhood over the next few weeks to get the hang of it on the right hand side.
Nice, I bought an 88 Toyota BJ73 Landcruiser with the 3B Diesel Left Hand Drive. Very nice, but wait till you try to have it fixed. Repair shops to include Toyota Dealership will not service it since they can't get the parts or get the calculation to apply hours to fix. All local popular Part stores do not carry or can order the parts for the motor. I get my parts directly from South East Asia at a high cost for shipping. Point is hope it does not break down in the middle of an Overland adventure. Good Luck !
Thanks :)
You should be able to get most parts from an autoparts store because the 2 LT and 3B diesel were sold in US (1985) and Canada up until 1987 . But you must search for example 1985 Toyota 4x4 with the turbo diesel option or Landcruiser with the non turbo diesel option. “NAPA” might be the best choice because they have a comprehensive North American database. Just don’t input 1988 because they sold domestically only until 1987.
This rig is SWEET!! 1/80, built but do you know how many are still on the road as of 2021??
Thanks! We can't know for sure, but we follow a handful of folks on Instagram who have Galaxies - most are here in the US.
I love it 😍 y’all lucky to buy that one still looks nice 👍 I wish I could find something like that!😘☺️
That thing is awesome. My grandpa had a toyota chinook camper when I was little. I've always like the truck based rv because of that
Aslamualakum mashallah zabardast ❤ im from Islamabad Pakistan ❤
Love it! Sooo exciting for the journey!!!
Lovely vehicle, just and FYI research fake 5 bolt 1 ton. This looks like the rear end of a the Toyota Sunrader that should be swapped out for a full floating. The fake 5 bolts were known to shear off in transit.
Love the Rv Eitherway!
It has clear, gray and black water? And solar panel?
Correct on the water! No solar panel... yet 😎
@@CarolynJoAnn Energy only generator with coach bateries?
I love your huge sink.
It's bigger.
Then Any other campers?
I've seen usually there's so small.
But Yours.
Is huge?
I like it.
So interesting! I wonder why there’s that little dead space back there between the bathroom and the closet and why you would have a little accordion door to close that off. Addressing room maybe? Seems like that Cspace could’ve been better used.
Damp rid can get rid of musty odors.
I like 👍🏻👍🏻
Merci 👍
A diesel Toyota from that generation? Wow you could drive to Mars and back on that engine.
Get some oil of wintergreen and soak some cotton balls. Place around in the camper. Will help with the smell.
Get some bamboo charcoal packets it'll freshen that air for you. Have fun! 😉
How much was it? How fast does it go? What’s the MPG? Can we get some real info to chew on? I like it
should have bought a used tigercamper
My condolences. I had a 1998 Toyota truck. True it will take you anywhere, however you will have to seek your way back yourself. Never had a truck that broke down so often, cost so much to keep and repair and was so uncomfortable and un reliable.
That’s too bad. We got really lucky, took this thing across North America and Mexico for a 2 year road trip and aside from having to invest in a turbo for higher elevations, we never really had any issues.
Toyota Hilux 🇯🇵❤️💪👍👆🎥😍👍
Can you send me the link to the FB Galaxy owners chats please?
It's a good pickup camper, but the inside is a bit analog.
I was keen on these but, realized there is no insulation so hot or cold environments are not realistic.
If you put some open boxes with cat litter, it will absorb the musty smells
Awesome Zach and Carolyn! Hope you guys make a stop on Maine this summer .
Do you guys still own this vehicle?
yes
Cool. 😎@@CarolynJoAnn
@@CarolynJoAnn if you ever decide to sell ? I will gladly buy it from you. Just say the words 😊
Awesome Rig! Happy Trails
That is a JDM space Tommy Fyeah would be proud of if there was some TE’s on her
Is that a floating axel on the back? Looks kinda funny
Buy an ozone generator. That will take all of the musty smell out
@Mav has an older Hiace... They're cool and interesting rigs. I love em! I hope 1 day I'll own something similar.
Ohh an to get rid of the musty smell; clean all surfaces with a multipurpose cleaner (Totally Awesome spray works great)
Wash or replace all cushions and cushion covers
Wash or replace all curtains and/or blinds
Use a small air purifier for a couple days after cleaning
Also those new 12v roof a/c's are ALOT smaller, energy efficient, and work great
Burn coffee beans in a pot. Clears out all bad smells.
Make more videos guys 👍🏻
Thanks :) Working on our next one this weekend. We have some fun updates coming soon!
You can open a large can of Folgers and close all the windows and doors etc...to help in odour issues...also large bowls of vinegar can make a difference.
Cheers from Victoria, British Columbia.
I lost my left leg above the knee and I would love to have one of these
I have a 95 galaxy , you will need to make the axle full floating
Hey Richard - yes we're looking into a few different options for the rear axle. Did you end up going with the full float conversion? If so, any tips?
@@CarolynJoAnn i got a 70 series landcruiser axle which is full floater with drum brakes,,two of the longer axles and had the end welded on the hilux axle and an engineer make the axle fit the hilux diff,cut and resplined, find a axle engineer
@@richardkitson7165 nice, thanks for sharing! Our rear axle isn’t a full floater (as you can see) but the recall repair was completed in Japan. We may still convert it to a full floater for additional strength
When I see the latest model I think give me retro every time
The trim or whatever you call it on the doors serve a purpose and yes aerodynamics does matter. With out those on your door you would have air hitting the side of the cabin right behind your doors where it sticks out. Causing drag and pressure against your cabin while driving. Almost like your cabin getting pulled off your truck with constant pressure against it while driving. Causing wear & tear in places you don’t want. And the drag would slow you down the faster you try and go.
Clorox wipes work very well to rid musty smells as well as mold. About every couple weeks when not in use go through and wipe the insides down. Also maybe get a dehumidifier canister or two, I have one that is nice. It has crystals in it that are white, when they turn pink they are full. All you do is put them in the oven and bake them til they are white again.
Thanks for the walkthrough guys!
Nice, so exciting, how much sir?
I hope you got the smell out!
They have this stuff called damp rid that will take the moisture out of the air and help eliminate the musty smell and also maybe try a dehumidifier good luck y'all have a nice RV there
She is a delight he seem's to be annoyed.
thanks, super...
Turn your lights on when showing. Toooo! Dark shadows. As film editors you should know better. 🤓
Water so hot you can “ cook” tea . 😅😅😅
How did you get it registered or to pass emissions? I've been looking into this and that always confuses me on how to legally get one in the states with the right paper work for NYS
Hi there! I wish we could help more but we registered ours in MA - they specify that diesel vehicles under a certain weight produced before 2003 are exempt from emissions (the galaxy is as a '92 & 7000lbs qualified). We've also met people on the road who have found ways to register their vehicles out of state to get it on the road - but not sure how they went about it
Also just looked it up and vehicles older than 25 years are exempt from emissions in NYS. You have to wait 25 years to even import these, so you would be good
nice campaign van 🥰❤️❤️🇱🇰
Great sized. Good lines. Super charge diesel. Run better in mountains.🇺🇸🤗 Michigan
Keep the a/c.
which dealer did you use to buy at the Japan Auction?
We didn’t buy at auction, we actually purchased from Vanlife Northwest in Oregon. If you join 4x4 or RV Toyota Facebook groups occasionally you’ll see a handful come on the NA market every year.
Nice tour of your Hilux Galaxy.
@ 18:41 . . sounded like somebody broke wind 😂
Dryer sheets under the cushions or in different areas where people can't see them and it will help get rid of the musty smell
We're in NZ - and we have a very rare 1989 Toyota 4x4 Galaxy! We've travelled 25,000 ks around NZ in it. Rare as hens teeth :)
Sounds like a dream! :) we have a Facebook chat going with about a dozen Galaxy owners if you’re interested, it’s been a great resource!
Hi guys, nice vid. Noticed your porch light lense was missing or broken. I just got a replacement for mine, looks identical to yours from Amazon part # SR33101. Good luck and giver a try… $26.00
Awesome, thanks for the tip, Gord!
Shore power got be different
How the heck did yall find this?! And what are your thoughts on someone trying to do a roof raise on this model
Sweet little rig. Wouldnt trade my chinook Baja for it thou ;)
Love it
