Had a great day testing the rig, my mate @JAEDITS came to help film so I could focus on driving and showing you guys the vehicle, been pumping out the vids and will go back to a weekly/fortnightly schedule soon cheers 🍻
It’s a bloody good time slinging in the dirt. First thing I did when I got back to the outback was put water upto the bottom of the windscreen for 20meters haha. Bloody glad I got out 🤙🏻
great testing, mate! One of the first real tests which you can only do in case you own the vehicle and not have just borrowed it from the dealership. So quite impressing what the stock 70 can do. Fuel cons will stabilize after 5000 km I would assume, so did my J 78 V6 petrol, came from nearly 20l down to 15l. Looking forward to your future experience. Cheers, mate!
What a rig, but, i've got to tell yah, at 12:45 I was sure you were going to tip over. Awesome stuff, enjoy the rig to the max...and the working handbrake.
Bèst ute in the world right now. This v8 is streets ahead of the 2.8 or anything else except in a very few applications the 4.0l v6 might be better in anti-poaching for speed in response situations in Africa. Still excellent in that role too. Perfect choice for your aplication and just a beautiful machine all round.
I like it, pretty basic still, it's got android auto, apple carplay which is nice, so everything you need is right there. No sat nav, maps or anything...
Got a 2020 79series dual cab first thing I broke was the number plate too...have kept mine stock at the moment until warranty is up. They are plenty capable in stock form just those tyres are not that good, staked and punctured mine twice. The ute will get better fuel and rev better after 2k to 5k km once she's broken in a bit, gearbox also loosens up a bit. Enjoy ,love mine.
My handbrake on my 79 holds tight even on hills in reverse (I still leave it in gear). People who have handbrake issues on 79 series Landcruiser's 1. Don't know how to correctly adjust them. 2. Have the wrong radius handbrake shoes or worn out shoes or severely worn rear rotor handbrake drums surfaces. 3. All of the above. I do have some Superior Engineering dog bones that increase holding power over the stock items & I am running Bendix shoes on DBA T4 rotors. I think the stock Toyota Handbrake shoes might be better & grippier than aftermarket.
I'd buy this over the new wide ass tacoma any day. You people outside the U.S. are very lucky to have such amazing vehicles while we get wider crap, with no gain in wheel travel, and with shocks on the back of the seats (wtf wants that.)
Here's my comments : a) Work diligently, save your money, invest wisely and don't waste your money buying accessories just because of popular culture. b) By all means upgrade the carrying capacity of your springs but you don't need a height increase. It's not cooler to be higher up. You don't need to do what everyone else does - it doesn't make it right. c) You don't need orange plastic boards nor a special exhaust - What you need is a compressor and ARB Speedy Seal Kit. Anything else comes after rule one which is Self Help. You can't go anywhere if you can't pump up a tyre and keep it inflated. d) What you need is a reliable property ute. All that bling and other crap is a waste of your money. e) Don't get caught in the accessory trap. As Oscar Wilde said "Be yourself, everyone else is taken". f) Things you might like to consider are : Australian made Halogen spotlights, snorkel upgrade, raised breathers and a Sun Visor. Comfort and safety should be high on your list of priorities. g) As for tyres, you'll be glad you have the factory tyres when you need to throw the anchors out to pull up for a steer or horse. You don't need chunky large diameter tyres and wheels. Forget it. You can upgrade to a LT radial later. Keep the pattern for highway. It's safer. Here's what's important in life - Health, Family, Freedom, Integrity. Oh, and you're better off alone outside the Cult of Landcruiser - It'll only take your money and sanity. We have cruisers too but you don't need to spend money to impress the share holders of ARB and Blackrock.
You watched the walkthrough vid? As I said earlier I'm not big on over the top mods, I like good suspension, good tyres, an engel fridge, sealed canopy for tools etc, good lights for night time driving, a swag and maybe a few other things. I'm running it fairly stock for a while, don't need to run out and buy tyres or suspension right now. Increase in height is good for me, more clearance is gold. I can't remember if you commented on my walkthrough vid, but go watch that if you haven't. I talk about mods and not needing to buy all the stuff, cheers
Oh dear. I feel sorry for you mate. Imagine all the awesome vehicles you could have bought with that much money. I guess life is about lessons. You gotta go through the shit to get to the good stuff. Hopefully Toyota will dis-continue those silly old tractors soon and we can all move on. Looking forward to seeing what you replace it with. Hang in there mate - I'm sure someone will buy it from you.
Why would you even write a comment like this. Old mates is giving information that everyone is interested in about the new LC. Go back to your Datsun videos. Outback off-road NT 👍🏻good job thanks for the vids
@@glennmcdonald8533 It's OK to be angry mate. You're not alone. A lot of people have been tricked into buying those ancient bulldozers. I'm not judging mate - I just feel for you. All that money for a $40k vehicle. I wish the ACCC would step in and stop Toyota running this scam.
I'd hate to say it as a Aussie and 4x4 person. But ppl like that have tracks closed off for everyone else too enjoy. How hard is it too either go to the tip or just fair dinkum f@#king clean up after yourself. Sorry for the language but it really annoying
@@OutbackOffroadNT it is mate and I'm afraid that when my wife and l retire the places we want to go to will be closed off. But l enjoy that vid mate 👍👍
Looks like the 1983 mirrors are still holding up....sorry man... they are fucking shitboxes...ill take my triton any day... yes.. you heard right triton....if they were 45k.. id say yeh theyre ok.. but fucking $100k.... taking the pisss
Had a great day testing the rig, my mate @JAEDITS came to help film so I could focus on driving and showing you guys the vehicle, been pumping out the vids and will go back to a weekly/fortnightly schedule soon cheers 🍻
@JAEDITS123 thanks for the edit bro!
Such a beautiful rig, love the new front end.
Great video, interesting to see what it can do without spending another $40k, love the information and details of what you’re doing stock standard.
Yeah mate that's the idea, don't need to run out and spend stupid money like a lot of people think, thanks for watching 👍
Really appreciate you doing this.
For those of us that are waiting on delivery, it gives us a better insight into what these rigs will be like.
Thanks
they are good mat, I am on number 9
No worries, thankyou for watching, so many people have been waiting so long for theirs to arrive!
Great video M8. Cheers for video. The new LC79 looks like beast on those dunes👍
Yeah not bad aye, she went pretty bloody good tbh, thankyou
Good day mate absolutely love the content on the new rig. Keep the videos coming much love from Uganda 🇺🇬 cheers 🍻
G'day mate, thankyou! Much appreciated, awesome that you are watching from all the way over there! Love it, big love from Australia 🇦🇺 cheers 🍻
Thanks mate for the vid.
This is all about this vehicle. It just do perfect on its original format.
No worries mate, yeah it's a good vehicle 👍
It’s a bloody good time slinging in the dirt. First thing I did when I got back to the outback was put water upto the bottom of the windscreen for 20meters haha. Bloody glad I got out 🤙🏻
Yeah not wrong aye! Sheesh in a creek?
awesome 79, these do most things in stock form, it is part of it building a 79 up to what you want💪
Great advice about out there you don’t need the all the shit just try it stock and work from there well done enjoy ringer
Thankyou mate

Thankyou mate, it was a good day of testing, I'm very interested to see where the fuel settles to
Enjoying your vids mate.. cheers👍🏼
Thankyou mate, much appreciated
Good Vid, I've had 4- 76series and straight out of the box 70 series preform, You might want to watch using that towball for towing/ dragging things.
Thanks for sharing. I love your channel.
No worries mate, thankyou very much 👍
Looks awesome love the big tray
Yeah me to mate, plenty of tray space
The vehicle is awesome and needs a good old test mate 🍻
Love the videos. I’m a new subscriber 👍🏽
Awesome mate, thankyou 👍
Mate im getting excited 👍just came up on my youtube feed cheers in advance.🍺👍
Love it mate! Thanks
Beautiful. Expecting nothing less from a 70 series😁
She's a tidy rig!
Great vehicle I wish i can get one like yours but in the usa we don’t have them thanks for sharing
No worries thankyou, yeah such a shame mate
Man, I love the sound of that V8!
Yeah they are nice mate
Great video mate thank your vehicle looks great enjoy
Thanks 👍
What a rig, but, i've got to tell yah, at 12:45 I was sure you were going to tip over. Awesome stuff, enjoy the rig to the max...and the working handbrake.
Hehe it was fun, got some great footage, thanks
so jealous, hope US market can have LC70
Great Video! love it. Love it's Bull bar too. what's the Bullbar's brand?
Thanks mate, its a genuine Toyota bar.
Bèst ute in the world right now. This v8 is streets ahead of the 2.8 or anything else except in a very few applications the 4.0l v6 might be better in anti-poaching for speed in response situations in Africa. Still excellent in that role too. Perfect choice for your aplication and just a beautiful machine all round.
What’s the go with the radio aerial, I haven’t seen a pwr up/down button in the new ones??
Yeah mate good call, I'm going to have a look tomorrow 👍
It's still got the antenna you can pull out but no pwr buttons as far as I know mate
Gday, to video mate, for a stock Ute it’s doing a good job, cheers
Cheers! Yeah she goes good 👍
Take the Ute out through Titjikala and to Chambers Pillar and then back road to Finke and back, that would be a good day trip.
Excellent suggestion mate, spot on 👌
Hi good videos, waiting on mine dual cab ,say how much was the bullbar.
Thanks, around 3 grand
Another good vid, like to see what it will do without lockers, ive got a workmate on the way, cheers
That's cool mate, yeah maybe I can show some stuff without lockers, congrats on the new rig 👏
over 11000 views on this one, lots of interest @@OutbackOffroadNT
Yeah people seem to be very interested
Just one more question, what's the radio head unit like ? Maps any good ?
I like it, pretty basic still, it's got android auto, apple carplay which is nice, so everything you need is right there. No sat nav, maps or anything...
The gap between bar and wheel arch/body panel is triggering my OCD. Looks like it is not mounted right? (Or just angle of camera?) 🤯
Damn... Why'd you have to point that out 😂😂 I can't unsee it now and have the same ute and same bar on order!
Haha! Yeah there's a gap, doesn't bother me
@@Sisu2280I know! Mine also on order but without factory bar.
2.8 L 4 cylinder is engine used by Prado as well isn't it?
Yes, my LandCruiser in the video is the v8 👍
Got a 2020 79series dual cab first thing I broke was the number plate too...have kept mine stock at the moment until warranty is up. They are plenty capable in stock form just those tyres are not that good, staked and punctured mine twice. The ute will get better fuel and rev better after 2k to 5k km once she's broken in a bit, gearbox also loosens up a bit. Enjoy ,love mine.
Yeah them bloody number plates are silly, good info mate thanks, pretty keen to see were the fuel sits in a month or so
This new 2024 lc compared to the old one is like a man before and after a haircut
What’s the plan build it or keep it stock??
I'll fit a canopy in the next couple weeks, and slowly mod the rig, but nothing crazy
Are the handbrakes known for giving out?
It's a bit of a running joke with these. People always complain about it, I honestly don't have any troubles with them, though.
My handbrake on my 79 holds tight even on hills in reverse (I still leave it in gear). People who have handbrake issues on 79 series Landcruiser's
1. Don't know how to correctly adjust them.
2. Have the wrong radius handbrake shoes or worn out shoes or severely worn rear rotor handbrake drums surfaces.
3. All of the above.
I do have some Superior Engineering dog bones that increase holding power over the stock items & I am running Bendix shoes on DBA T4 rotors. I think the stock Toyota Handbrake shoes might be better & grippier than aftermarket.
Yeah I'm just having a joke, I do agree mate. Pretty sure my old man doesn't have any dramas either with his actually come to think of it 🤔
9:40 pretty common, that's the wrong spot for the plate. Move the spare on the tray and replace the plate
Is this the 2.8 engine, the sound in the cruiser does not sound like the 2.8 Hilux motor, idles almost like an V8, sound wise
It's the 4.5L V8 TD
Yeah its the v8 mate, cheers
поздравляю с покупкой! крутым парням крутые тачки!) привет из России !
Hey thankyou! All the way from Russia, awesome 👌
I have a RAV and if I double lock the car the lights turn off.
Oh ok good tip mate I'll try it out, cheers
Sounds louder than my 1973 modle tractor
What are the build plans mate?
Nothing ridiculous, you'll have to wait and see 👀
Hey mate you can do a little mod to the handbrake and it never needs adjusting mine has lasted years 👍
My handbrake has been fine, and gets adjusted at each service back to proper tight. What mod have you done mate?
@@OutbackOffroadNT apparently they weld a little bit extra on the mechanism and she’s all good to go but didn’t do it myself ??
Yeah right that's interesting, might look into that, cheers
enjoy the working handbrake whilst it lasts
We'll see how it goes 😏
Mate, don't wear out that handbreak to quick!! 🤣
Haha, yeah that's it, so far so good 👍 😄
is that leaf on the front?
Coil
Nice
👏🏻👏🏻
I'd buy this over the new wide ass tacoma any day. You people outside the U.S. are very lucky to have such amazing vehicles while we get wider crap, with no gain in wheel travel, and with shocks on the back of the seats (wtf wants that.)
Shocks on the backs of seats 🤣 yeah fair enough mate I'm grateful for this rig for sure, I'm glad we get it in Australia
@@OutbackOffroadNT I'm glad SOMEONE gets to enjoy it. Maybe I will in 25 years when we can import it.
Why is everyone acting like this utes different it’s just a facelift, this is still a v8
👍

What engine?Bloody noisy!
1vd-ftv - 4.5 v8
K thanks
If your life depends on it ..get a LC 70
1000th yew
What a legend
Not really do not understnad why Toyota cannot bring this diesel monster to north america. here is a huge pickup market.
That bullbar doesn't look good it looks stupid and needs to be redesigned
I’ll stick to my Ford Raptor 😂
Raptors are nice mate 👌
.
