Your voice work, editing skills, and production are top notch, keep this up and you’ll be quitting your day job before you know it! I really, really enjoy your videos, thank you!

[@ggg4runner]

Thank you for the support!

This is an awesome video! Thanks for doing the research and the work. I'm so stoked to have a 1997 Collector's Edition Land Cruiser 3X locked of course 😋. I'm in Thailand ATM and lots of cool Hilux here.

[@ggg4runner]

Glad you enjoyed it! There's no wrong 80 per se, but you have the right one 👍

[@LostandFoundTravel]

Land Cruisers have an accidental magic to their Series Numbers. Your Series = top comfortable highway speed in mph! My '97 HATES going over 80. :)

[@ggg4runner]

What about the 200 and 300-series?!? 🤔

[@LostandFoundTravel]

​@@ggg4runner Let's get one and a BIG hill and find out.

Your voice is on the level of Morgan Freeman on story telling. Great job man. Keep it coming.

Thanks for the history lesson. Well done!

Thanks for watching!

Fun fact, the 5th gen 4Runner's popularity is only increasing, and in the past year or 2 Toyota has sold more annually than any other years selling the 4Runner. Selling well over 100k units of a vehicle nearly 13 years old is impressive, and a testament to the awesomeness of the 4Runner.
I have a FJ Cruiser I have had since my parents bought it for me when I got my license at 16 (so for 12 years now)... It has VERY low mileage, so I just keep it maintained and in tip top shape, because it was sell for a fortune some day! Lol My current overlander is a 2019 (and love of my life) is my 2019 4Runner TRD Off Road! I'll never sell it!

Loved it. Thanks.

[@ggg4runner]

Thank you too!

[@jimstoneman1732]

Very cool story, and well told. And that's coming from a Jeep guy!

[@ggg4runner]

😂 Thank you! And, contrary to all those Toyota peeing on Jeep and vice versa stickers, we can be friends.

[@quigers007]

Fantastic video, keep up the good work!

[@ggg4runner]

I'll try! Thank you!

[@scottyocum7652]

Thanks Roger! Hope you’re doing well.

[@ggg4runner]

Thank you!

The land cruiser legacy also lives on in the US as the LX600. The name may not be present, but it is the 300 series.

[@ggg4runner]

Thank you for watching! I have no stake in that so I don't have an opinion but I bet there are LC purists who'd disagree.

[@LimitOfN]

@@ggg4runner There are people who disagree that vaccines save lives. Anybody of reasonable mind would agree with my original statement.

[@kenmcdougal97]

My dream Toyota is a landcruser troopy

[@ggg4runner]

Good choice 👍🏼

[@redroosterazrc]

Great vid and history lesson!

[@ggg4runner]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@steelontarget]

Love these videos brother.

[@ggg4runner]

Thank you! I enjoy making them, but it's nice to hear that I'm not just making them for myself 😅
