I just bought my husband his dream rig for his birthday! A 1994 Land Cruiser (80 Series in Australia).. It has become our pet project and though it was in excellent shape, I had the engine completely (ground up) overhauled and the transmission replaced with a brand new transmission and had all the factory shocks suspension restored before presenting it.. Now it is our labor of love and we are turning it into our future overland/expedition monster.. Bone stock it goes absolutely EVERYWHERE.. We have dominated on trails from lowesr to highest ratings with ease lol and love ignoring signs that recommend only modified 4x4s should proceed lol....The show 4WD Action turned us into an overlanding couple lol.. This is an absolutely beautiful rig you have here!
Gotta say, I like the fact that you guys actually state the faults with products. A bit of honesty goes a long way and at least people get a real appraisal...cheers
IFS is made for ride comfort and speed. i love IFS, but make sure the front lower arm made from Total Chaos Fabrications (Official Toyota Racing Supplier for Arm)
I've got a 100 series that I'm starting to do a build-up of and this is basically my list of gear, Throw in a long-range tank, 2.75in exhaust and that's it! Nice to see an IFS Yoda going hard.
Thats probably the best 100 I've seen! Love it. I always said If I got a 100, id have to get the JDM Flares. Updates the look so much. Well done love it.
Hi Anthony, You have one the best Landcruiser rigs I have seen mate, Love all the mods. I have a 105 series as well and was wondering if you can give me some details about the flares (brand, retail where I can get them from) as I am putting 0 offset sunraysias or speedys on mine.
@@antopaul4911 Out of interest Anto did you have any problems with tyre rubbing on the fronts? Recently went to 0mm offset rims too but have rubbing issues with the front even after removing the front mud guards.
Love the muscular look of the 100 series -my favorite LC. Cleanest of mods as well. Though I might be a bit biased cuz I daily its mini-me, the 3rd gen 4Runner.
s50201 also if you live in Australia, you can get a 100 series extremely cheap (in good condition) Also I’m the owner of a 79 series but I want a 100 series
That is a really tastefully modified HDJ100R Landcruiser. Thank you for sharing. I think there are way too many myths floating around that stop people from modifying these. Perfect car for touring and occasional 4WDing. Thank you.
Fantastic Video Full of Practical and Useful advise and some great tips. And free of the "sponsors" products so many shows now push. Just good honest Aussie advise. You guys sure have some well sorted vehicles! And that 100 Series, wow, great to see some original thinking and problem solving, its a true credit to the owner.
Regarding the pins that snap off on the rear tire carrier. Snapped off on mine as well. All you need to do is add a lock washer on it. The lock washer stops it from spinning off.
WOW. I've always seen pictures online of this vehicle and never seen a video. Much inspiration for me to build up my Land Cruiser 100 series. Wish the American version came with turbo diesel.
The 1FZ and the V8 models are way more fun and powerful and cheaper to buy and maintain and just as reliable and bulletproof. Don't know why people are so obsessed with diesel
Very neat modifications under the hood there. A lot of times you see some modified engine bays with everything going North, South, East, West and then some. Nice build there mate.
roughly 300km out of both tanks on the 4.5 cruiser. I've got a 4.8 Patrol which is obviously petrol but switched out the stock tank to a 146 tank I believe and I can get some good K's out of that. Roughly speaking about 600-800 km so yea. Not hating on Cruisers by the way.
Nice truck I have a petrol 60series cant take it anywhere ridiculous on fuel put a deposit on a factory turbo 100 series the other day not cheap but hopefully get what you pay for.
hey ronny, mayb you could do a budget tourer in one of your modified vids.?. for instance a mid 90's jackaroo or pajero, either with a couple of inches of lift, a set of 33's and some long rear shocks are quite capable and you can pick them up in reasonable condition for under 2k, would be good for ppl out there not wiling to spend a lot of money and getting into 4wheeling??
Without giving too much away there is one coming... within the next 3 episodes ;) can't tell you which make and model but it might be one of those you mentioned,...
There's hope for my stock Turbo Diesel 100 series yet : ) Be keen to hear which suspension Anto chooses to replace the current brand. Love ya work Ronny
My dads getting me my first car soon... It's gonna be a 100 series, not sure what year though. 2000-2005 I presume. Now its my job to raise the money for the ARB bumper with winch, a rhino rack on top, a slee rear bumper with a ladder and spare, a lift and off road tires. Oh and a new radio with bluetooth (of course). I shouldn't need a snorkel because this is mainly for the hunting club (ladder and rack for hauling carcasses or even setting up a chair to coyote hunt, the winch for yard work or cleaning up huge branches after bad storms, and the lift and tires for actually getting places in the farm). I'm thinking I will keep a trailer hitch on it at all time. Any other suggestions for someone like me? or even just suggestions on how the hell ill get the money for it? I doubt any of this will happen, but its fun to dream
@@phantomwalker8251 it is a great 4x4 with slightly less travel on the front suspension for half the price. Diesel is shit and weak and more maintenance and more expensive for a rattle box. It has 2 diffs, the front one is just not mounted in a solid axle and it has low range and is in every way the same as an 80 series but without the solid front axle and the price tag
I was considering getting a 4Runner (somewhat similar to the land cruiser) here in canada since the cruiser isn't offered, but I need the optional space of having a pickup truck, so going with the tacoma, (pretty much north american hilux) But damn is it ever hot there. we hit 37 38C with humidity in the summer but wow. I will definitely not be coming to australia ever in your summer haha. I can't take heat. I'd have to come in the winter.
I think a few years ago here in toronto the hottest we got during a heat wave with humidity was 41C. On average without humidity our summers are around 29-31C and working construction I die. Meanwhile in the winter with -30C almost -40C with wind I am perfectly fine haha. Hell today it was only a high of 7C and I was only in a light hoodie. I have no clue how you guys manage the heat down there.
Joe if I had to put up with your freezing temperatures you may as well bury me in the back yard. Me thinks the old saying horses for courses is so true.
hahaha, thats what everyone says. Even all the people that live here always complain, I must be one of the few that have no problem with the cold. I'm just so adapted to it no issue.
Its what you get used to. I was born in Adelaide where you can get up to ten days of 40 degree heat but its a dry heat and I had no problem but in Sydney at thirty five and humid I am buggered
I can't find any solar shades like these....what brand are they? I can see how this would awesome during the hot summers for the rear/side windows on my jeep. It would make that rear window an even better shade.
Surprising to hear you would go from a OME suspension to Bilstein. I have had both in different platforms and found the Ome to hold up and perform better. What would be the reasoning behind this? Thought you said something about holding up to the weight. I have noticed on a few other UA-cam channels coming out of Australia that OME is not talked about you see your fair share of ARB equipment but ome suspension is rarely if at all talked about why is this? In the states it is pretty well known and used on many different vehicle platforms but I just don’t hear the Australian guys talk about it very often if at all. Is it just that there are so many other suspension options over there then maybe compared to the states?
Supposwd you changed front configurations suspension from front independent suspension or front double wisbone into fixed live axle which will gave you better wheel long travel suspensions...
i have a question, those land cruisers have self leveling hydraulic suspension, and that particular unit has a lift, did he have to change the entire suspension system or is a lift compatible with the self leveling adjustable suspension?
I’m around 5’6 and I’m thinking about buying a 100 series but I’m worried I’ll have issues with driving this car due to my height for example not being able to see across the hood, not being able to reach the pedals etc.

Didn't think I would ever be so attracted to an IFS 4WD.. thought 105 or my 80 was the only way to go.. this thing is pretty mint! 👌🍻
Finally someone who doesn't bash on the IFS 100 series. Not enough people are giving them credit!! Awesome truck.
thanks champ

Probably the best 100 series I've ever seen. Love it! Some extreme jealously over here!
good to see he was wearing the Ronny, black T, hat and chain uniform for the video.
and what great weather it was to be wearing black lol was so hot
Anto Paul That is one tuff 100! can you tell me where you got your red uhf antenna from? ive been looking everywhere and cant seem to find one.
Anto Paul what flares are they ? Look mint
Hi Anto, wondering what wheel flare brands you used? Im looking to get myself and yours look great! Thanks, Michael

When they lifted the bonnet I thought
Ronny said that's fucking sick instead of far from stock
That truck is fitted proper! Wow. Just got my first LC 100 and I'm just getting started in the Cruiser life. Fantastic video Ronny!
Toyota 4 Life. What a beautiful BEAST.
Land Cruiser/Lexus LX570 BEST SUV money can buy... when they are modded like this they are incredible
Now that's a well set up 100 series. Nice work.
Gonna bring my HDJ81 with me to Oz once I'm finished touring North America. Love the video. Thanks for sharing!
Nice one Ronny. It's great to see what other people have done to their rigs.
you are such an inspiration, you have changed my life forever and i just feel blessed to hear your voice, I am gay for Ronny McDazza
yo chill
Zak Zak but my love for Ronny can not be contained
Zak Zak The only place i can think of is Collie or Armadale, either way you probs have 2 heads or are married to ur sister
XD woaaahhhh look out, we got a rib tickler
Amazing! The crap thing is with fuel prices so high here in the UK most people couldn't afford to run one.
awesome build! great vid ronny, this is one of the best 100's ive ever seen
thanks heaps champ
Best modified video yet. Beast of a 100 series!
thanks heaps 👍
Nice video, thank you for sharing, my 100 series gets ARB lockers next week, regards from Miami, USA.

Good job go the 80 we have a done up 100 ready to go
Nice Land Cruiser!! Love my 4runner but in love with this rig!
thanks Ronny! this is my dream rig
GREAT 4WD! Always great straight to the point videos.

That is a good bit of kit. Nice 100! Thanks for sharing.
seen a lot of pictures on this car,I'm glad i came across this video, nice clean finish!
Some seriouse dollars spilt into that rig looks great
should of spent some on a front diff,or not buy it in first place.
Very neat modifications under the hood there. A lot of times you see some modified engine bays with everything going North, South, East, West and then some. Nice build there mate.
Great rig! the best 100 series ive ever seen! Thanks for the share Ronny.
cheers bud👍
If it werent for the lack of cargo space, Id love to have a big wagon when my dual cab gives up. Great vid as always!
He has never used the car. Was prepared for the interview. HeHe... all shinny and new.
Loved to see, the tools are worn out... you need to buy new ones. Lol... :)
Great video. As usual Ronny but what a great rig.
+Shane Faust thanks mate and yeah thats one hell of a 100 series! Even better in the real flesh/metal.
Perfect land cruiser
Sweet 100 series a well set up one is rare as hen's teeth lol very nice
i have sunglasses that fit there....they are oakley !
Really nice LC , only gas versions here in Canada
Love the build
Nice rig...will be doing something similar later in the year...Top Tourer...
Wow... That rig is fully done. Nice work
Very nice truck.
Inspirational vid. thanks. im driving a 100 series here in kenya. always looking for good mods to do as found in this video. cheers again.
roughly 300km out of both tanks on the 4.5 cruiser. I've got a 4.8 Patrol which is obviously petrol but switched out the stock tank to a 146 tank I believe and I can get some good K's out of that. Roughly speaking about 600-800 km so yea. Not hating on Cruisers by the way.
There was something wrong with that cruiser. My 1fz petrol 80 series with 35's gets 19l/100km
Nice rig I like the dual fridges 👍😄
What a weapon, I'm in the market for 100 series at the moment and this rig has reinforced my want for one! Let me know if you want to sell it haha
Yeah good point *****.. are they IFS or solid axle?
Super helpful video bc I just bought one of these rigs and I can't wait to start upgrading. Thanks!
Another great vid, Ronny. Keep them coming.
Hoping to get a 100 series here soon! So this is rad to see, only mine will be 4.7l petrol because of the USA lol.
its ifs crap,they break
love watching your stuff here in Canada Ronnie
I got the 4.7L V8 petrol thinking about installing a turbo charger kit on it later on
holy sandflies batman
very nice vehicle 100 series is all weather
Nice truck 👍
Hey Ronny can you do another ranger video. It was one of the best modified video I seen. This 100 series is a beast and love the look of it
+Nick Buchanan there will be another later on im sure but will be a gap between them as the list has grown quite big for others yet to be done.
Damn that's a nice truck...so jealous.
Inspirational!! Keep up the sweet vids Ronny
In the intro, it's stated that it's a 4-speed auto but I believe it is an A750F 5-speed auto.
You are correct
Hey guys, this car and comments are really interesting... And give a look of what is car passion...Thanks for all
Great car. Thanks for the share. Keep up the good work Ronnie.
thanks +Scott Volkers will do...
Wow that's a nice 100 series

Yes but live axle isn't as good for handling and comfort and stability for touring. They both have their strengths

Great video as usual! Can you provide the information on what sort and size of wheels they are? Thanks Ronny .
Great vehicle, thanks for the overview :-)

Yap!
I’m around 5’6 and I’m thinking about buying a 100 series but I’m worried I’ll have issues with driving this car due to my height for example not being able to see across the hood, not being able to reach the pedals etc.

love the sandy views :)
