    Thanks for checking out this video! If you missed my Land Cruiser Reveal video where I did a walkaround and gave more details about why I bought it, here it is: ua-cam.com/video/GTsPUQDdjlM/v-deo.html

    We need more LC videos. So glad to see you having fun, they are so fun. I have a '93 and I remember working on it and I ended up deleting the tow hitch, 3rd row seats, and running boards. keep posting LC videos.

    • @ChloeKuo

      That sounds exactly like what I plan to do to mine!

    Great video as always Chloe, loved the desert footage.
    Not a Land Cruiser but I do own a '95 Four runner that I bought new and have taken off road many times here in the AZ desert over some pretty challenging trails and it has never failed me, it's pretty much resigned to 'daily drives' status now as I just acquired a 2019 Tacoma TRD Offroad that was a garage queen and only had 2000 miles when I bought it.
    The previous owner had upgraded the suspension, shocks and added a lift plus 35" tires so it's pretty much ready to hit any trail, and the funny thing is the previous owner made all those upgrades and NEVER TOOK IT OFF ROAD!!! Being an exclusive Toyota owner for the last 40yrs. I'm pretty excited to see how this new Taco stacks up to my previous rigs, I have no doubt it will do just fine.

    • @ChloeKuo
      @ChloeKuo  3 роки тому

      Congrats on that AWESOME find! The new Tacos are really nice and don't lack in the capability department. Cool to hear about the 95 4Runner 😁

    @rperdido552 3 роки тому +1

    Hi Chloe love your new TLC. I bought one that looks just like yours but a 1997 one before the covid hit and I've given it an OME suspension lift of 2.5" and a 33" tire.
    I've also replaced the front bumper with an ARB steel bumper. I've taken it to Joshua tree, Anza Borrego and all over So Cal. looking forward to your build.

    • @ChloeKuo
      @ChloeKuo  3 роки тому

  • @willrucker1628
    @willrucker1628 3 роки тому +2

    I bought a stock 100 series last year and have moded it out as an overland rig. If you can imagine it you can do it to these rigs. I look forward to seeing how you end up setting this 80 up for the trail. As a LC owner you should consider joining your local TLC club. That is what I did as soon as I got mine and the people in the club are a plethora of information, knowledge and make new friends to hit the trails with. Good luck and I'll be watching.

    Toyota built the Land Cruiser very capable right out of the box so to speak. When people start modifying…..lifts, bigger tires, different gearing, adding weight, that’s when potential problems begin.
