Taxis or not. 99/100 in the junkyard still run the rest of the car just finally broke. Usually with 500k or more. Toyota has arguably built engines which were just as reliable, but they rust out alot faster too. And for every MB m273 with the timing recall, theres 2 yota V6s that will sludge up even on high dollar synthetic.

    My first Landcruiser I bought in 1980. Had that one for 17 years and did 650,000 kilometres in it. I bought my second Landcruiser after my son killed that one and I have had it ever since and it has done 620,000 kilometres so far. Both of them were 11 seat Troopcarriers. Awesome reliability. So essentially I have had only two daily drivers since 1980. The ultimate in recycling is keeping it on the road and not continuously buying new vehicles.

    • @philbox4566
      @philbox4566 6 років тому +3

      No way, 75 series Troopcarriers have a cult following in Oz. Sooooo much room.

    • @philbox4566
      @philbox4566 6 років тому +6

      Because the 75 series diesels are tough and reliable and you can get parts for them in any remote part of the country and everyone in the outback knows how to work on them. Also as mentioned above they have legendary reliability and last pretty much forever. Keep the maintenance up to them and you have a vehicle that will get you anywhere and last a lifetime.

Now you have me wanting a 200 series. Wan't be buying a new one but love the platform and a lot more power than my 100 series. Thanks for publishing lots of Land Cruiser videos, they are the best SUV on planet earth. Bought my first one almost 30 years ago and have always owned one.

    The more I watch these different overland builds and such the easier it is to realize that there is nothing different, ingenious or, most important, cost effective.
    In my opinion you do not need all of this. I find the real challenge and preparedness comes with the ability to carry as little as possible while covering as many essentials as possible.
    You can always add more things thats easy, haha
    Besides the point though.
    Toyota Land Cruiser > Any other truck

    Great video! I grew up on a large farm in South Africa where we ran a fleet of Hiluxes and a few Land Cruisers - '80's FJ's and newer (the first truck I drove was a 76 or so Hilux). The 2.4 diesel Hilux was indestructible - still have lots of them running and they have been riding on dirt farm roads since the 80's. I live in California now and currently have a 2005 4Runner V8 w OME shocks and springs which has done almost 250,000 miles without issue (tires, brakes a water pump and oil - that's it) and a 2018 L200 Land Cruiser w the 5.7 V8. It's built tough and is great to ride. I recently sold a 2000 L100 V8 which I put 150,000 miles on without issue. I've owned Land Rovers (Defenders) and a few other trucks through the years which were good to drive, but these toyota's have consistently had the best built quality by a long way. Even the bodies don't creak and rattle apart after all those miles. I can't say enough good things about them. Good job Toyota!

    In the beginning of this video, saw you had Montana plates. That was good for me to see. I currently live in central montana and have recently picked up a 91 LC...though needs a little TLC, I love it and looking forward to refurbish. Thank you for this documentary .....this was a great!

    Here in South Africa this current facelift they discountined the petrol and only comes in the diesel

      Mr. Cairo very interesting I've seen many of the diesel wirh 300k kms without any problem
      And some if them have software that bump up the power to 250kw and 200nm extra tourqe

    • @AHMEDMOOSAJI
      @AHMEDMOOSAJI 6 років тому +9

      Mr. Cairo obviously on a diesel injectors have to be done and in a long run petrol is much cheaper
      Just like the 3.0D4D and 4.0 V6 in the hilux if you going to keep very long the thirstier petrol is better but if you not keeping for long run the diesel is better

      In Middle East, TLC market is very strong. We still able to buy brand new TLC with four engine options (5.7 v8, 4.6 v8, 4.0 v6, and TD4.5 v8) and best part is that the TD4.5 and the 4.0 still can be had in a 5 speed manual in the LC200 :)

    Kurt because he knows landcruisers,,,has a good way of explaining why land cruisers are so good. I hadn’t realised that the components on the cruiser were bigger and stronger. Seems to me you can put a lot Stuff in the stock cruiser with the proper tires and just go explore and then if you think you need mods you will have a good idea what you need Thanks for doing this film

    It's amazing that Americans don't understand the capabilities of a Landcruiser and this video has to exist. Jeeps are not the only thing that can go offroad lol. Landcruisers hands down are easily one of the most dependable and capable offroad rigs out there. You should search up what we do with them in Australia !

    That hitch on the Patriot is the best offroad hitch ... made by Cruisemaster (not Patriot), as is the suspension on the Patriot - it's Cruisemaster. The Aussie stuff is the best: Redarc, Cruisemaster, Rhino Rack, ARB, OME, TJM, etc. You really need to look at the Aussie stuff for your US overlanding ... we've been doin' it for years!! :)
    With the Toyota's, Aussies have also been modifying Landcruisers for a very long time ... all the various series (60's, 70's, 80's, 100's, 200's ... basically all of them). If you really want to see some great offload setups, gotta check out the Aussie Builds.
