We have owned a dual cab 79 series work truck/family car for five years now. I must say I reckon you summed them up pretty spot on! Mine finishes lease in two months and i have decided to hold on to it for good. Keep up the good work Danie, your doing a great job!!
Wow! Great new truck! Congratulations. Can't wait to see what you do with it. I've still got my 1989 HJ61 Sahara & can't think of what I will replace it with when the roof rusts off. Maybe a Rivian if they ever make it to Austalia??!! Keep up the work on your 60 series!
Little tip for the failed door closes. Car is more air tight. In my Kenworth, I have to have window down a touch, then door closes first time. Also have weathershield fitted as per my Prado 120. No more failed door closes. Luv your stuff, Greetings from Sydney.
Don't knock the 76 Danie, I got one and love it lol. Tip, get heat proofing and sound deadening before you does interior mods. My only complaint is heat and road noise coming through floor and doors.
I wish that I bought my dad's FJ45V off him back when I was younger....... Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it... I just love the simplicity of the old school 4wd's as they are built basic to survive the elements of the harsh Aussie outback. Anyway congratulations on the new purchase guys as the 70 series Cruisers are the last of the true 4wd's left...... Just don't tell my new Dmax X-terrain that 😂😂
You don’t know how lucky you are getting the 70th anniversary in the wagon with only 80 made. We put down 5 deposits with 5 different car yards in melb for the same as what you got and missed out only to be told they were going to demo them😔.
Have watched your progession on utube for quite some time now. I have a big smile on my face and my wife and I are so happy for you both to see where you are at. Enjoying watching your landcruiser variants and even though we only have a ole hilux ln167, we feel like we are part of your toyo family and friends. Well done and please keep smiling and especially your cheeky grin. Hi from Mareeba FNQ.
Congratulations!!! Love it! Wish we could get our hands on those here in Texas. In the past I have had to settle for petro 80 series and a 78' HJ45.....now a GX460. Maybe someday.........
i got a 2021 79 a few months back and the disappointment you feel when picking up a new 70 series does fade lol i could see you felt it too. put a few mods on it, it gets better. the wind noise however does not
Currently asking near $120k for 70th Anniversary 70 series in Perth (That's 76 wagon or dual cab 79). If you bought yours for 80 you've done well as they will be collectible.
Even though I know you both personally now listening to you and Freddy banter back and forth always makes me laugh haha especially when Freddy complains about something 😂
@@DanieSimpson Hahahahaha oooo I could imagine some of the colourful words Freddy said! Freddy talking shit about mars always makes me laugh because I know how much he loves him haha
@@DanieSimpson these things will fetch such a premium. At 80k they’re reasonable I think, but second hand being only 80 built. Will never be reasonable
@@MrJarmore yeah hard to say alot of limited edition old cars don't fetch as much as people think they do. And newer cars will require even more patience and maintenance to keep in good condition
A lot of the 70 series is used in africa. I've personally riden in one during my summer vacation for long road trips multiple times. Great experience coming from the v8!
Doesn't need anything replaced at all:) would happily drive this straight off the showroom floor and tour Australia in it. Not a single other vehicle made I Australia that I would feel comfortable doing that in
Yeah it's bloody brilliant 👏 parts everywhere, I'm well skilled in how they work, where they fail and how to repair. I love it when places don't change every single thing each year. Makes getting parts a nightmare

Hey Danie. I bought a 1HD-T, manual, 80 series, Daphne ( daughters named her after the angry duck on the bonnet), 9 years ago for $12,500. Last year I decided to rebuild her from the ground up, because I decided, if I did spend $67,500, I would have a better, more capable & more reliable car, than if I spent $80,000+ on a new computerised car, that I don't have a laptop to fix. I think that new 76 wagon has the same carpet as Daphne!
Yes that's why most of my cars are old school because you can spend the money on modifications instead. This vehicle is more suited to creating products of the newer market. As majority of people are buying new 4wds nowadays.
I'm very excited about seeing what design / r&d and fabrication jrace does in the future. I was recommended your channel on youtube and I gotta say, everytime I tune in, there's a lot of smile content here Danie... I smile quite a bit! You're a natural and I wish you continued success!! sidenote .... did you guys roadtrip to Toyota in a Freelander 2? I love those little nuggets in 2.2 diesel.
It's very similar price to alot of the other dual cab Ute's. Any new car is expensive but second hand prices of these are even more hectic. Yes the xy is a longer term project because it needs a full strip and repaint
Even more reasons to watch now that you’ve got a 76 , definitely an acquired taste you have to really want to own one , need a few mods to get it less industrial but I love mine
Cannot believe they left such a massive theft oversight on the door locks on both passenger and drivers door, in school I was shown how to pop the entire lock barrel out with half a tennis ball, I hope you put immobilizers through it
I can pop the lock barrel outta mine too doesn't mean you can enter or start the vehicle. Common cause of theft where I live is home break ins and they just take your keys. Hence why my vehicles have gps trackers which send notifications when the car moves etc
Gday Danie, I’ve gotta say I prefer the ol’boy any day, I’m not a fan of any new vehicle with all the electronic shit, I’m sure you guys will do an awesome job on the cruiser, Cheers
Yeah I like the simple mechanical stuff far better. But always good to understand the future, experience it first hand to be sure I don't like it hahaa
I just restored a '91 HZJ75W, replaced the tub as it had rusted out and did all the upholstery, rubber, mechanical and electrical work. Drives like a pig but will go anywhere and tow anything.
@@DanieSimpson Yeah the Euro Ncap in europe year by year they are more restrictive , since you like jeeps , mines a Nissan Patrol 6 cilinder inline turbo from 1991 hardtop gray dark

If you come from the land of plenty, that's great, and Im happy for you. Running 4x4 trucks around is expensive...parts, equipment, fuel, insurance. If you have a magic formula, even better. Can you enlighten me? If you would rather not, that's cool too. cheers
Thanks. Not sure what social media accounts or followers has to do with anything. But my lifestyle is certainly not lavish or expensive and I don't come from a family of money. I work multiple jobs and save my money to spend on the things I enjoy aka. 4wds. There is no magic formula or short cuts to working hard and saving.

Man, for the prices of 76’s these days, you really don’t get too much stuff from factory. I heard they are really reliable but I’d hate to have an issue and be the one to pull it apart engine wise 😂 a lot of extra bits

Congrats on the 76!! If I may ask, how long did you wait from ordering? I'm in month 7 now of waiting for my VDJ76 and the end is not in sight yet..... still awaiting a confirmed production date. I know the wait will be worth it though!
Just called up looking for a dual cab and they had it in stock. This wasn't an order in vehicle they are limited editions that were allocated to dealers

My son in law ordered a 76 on the 6th January in Sydney. Still hasn't been delivered! Maybe next week. Your lucky you got yours.
Yeah just called up and they had it :) don't think we would have got one if we had to wait
I have a 96' FZJ73 Land Cruiser. I live in the mountains in Colombia. It's nearly unstoppable and i don't even have lockers.

Yeah I've seen those pretty cool!!
The door closes problem is the same on my new 79 it is just that the seals are so good, drop the window a little and you slam them, lol .
It's the same as any vehicle but won't be leaving windows cracked untill weathershields go on
Nice buy.
Beautiful vehicle. Will bring you many many years of enjoyment.
Little tip for the failed door closes. Car is more air tight. In my Kenworth, I have to have window down a touch, then door closes first time. Also have weathershield fitted as per my Prado 120. No more failed door closes. Luv your stuff, Greetings from Sydney.
Yes won't be cracking the window untill the weathershield goes on
Don't knock the 76 Danie, I got one and love it lol. Tip, get heat proofing and sound deadening before you does interior mods. My only complaint is heat and road noise coming through floor and doors.
yeah definitely will be! thank you:)
I wish that I bought my dad's FJ45V off him back when I was younger....... Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it...

Yessss!!🙌
OLBOY still looks better then the new one, hands down
Agreed! Took awhile though
Congrats on the 76!! If I may ask, how long did you wait from ordering? I'm in month 7 now of waiting for my VDJ76 and the end is not in sight yet..... still awaiting a confirmed production date. I know the wait will be worth it though!
Just called up looking for a dual cab and they had it in stock. This wasn't an order in vehicle they are limited editions that were allocated to dealers
@@DanieSimpson Damn, lucky you! Enjoy the new addition to the family!
Nice. At least it's not a slush box :D
But it's always good to see some old school looks in some landcruisers
Yeah agreed they did really well with the subtle throw backs
Never ever going to be a slushbox. 70 series was/is always a solid 5 speed with a heavy clutch
@@HJZ75driver was definitely a few questionable 5 spds in the 70series over the years but will probably end up going auto one day
@@DanieSimpson Think Rod @ Wholesale Autos do a 6 speed auto swap for 79 seriesese. factory 200 box and surround etc. $25k drive in, drive out
@@HJZ75driver yeah there is a few places getting around doing them now for about the same price
How long was the wait time?
Wait times will depend on where you order and the current stock so best to contact your local supplier. We are a trade shop and order multiple parts
