Oops, I bought a Landcruiser! What have I done!? 500,000km Cruiser Gets Another Chance

Don't mean to be a cliché but once you go lc you never go back

Eish headache project there !! At least u will have a lot of content !! Seen this movie before!! Gonna cost u big tin and or lots of sponsors🙈🙈

All I could think of was how many taxis out there are roadworthy! Your LC is in much better shape buddy 😂. Congratulations 🎉, looking forward to the build series.

The 100/105 is tip of my heart wrt 4x4. I watched ASPW & Paul Marsh rebuild a 2nd hand one a few yrs ago. (Khaki one) Its a beauty. All the best with your project. Might not always be easy but definitely well worth it but TT is an excellent partner.

Nice one 👀🤙
Are you turning this little beast into your new 'overlander ?

Can't you sneak my van into the Terrain Tamer workshop 😁

Looking forward to the transformation process.......

Thanks for the share 👀🤙

awesome... partiently waiting to see the final project of the LC turned into an over landing beast.

Now you have an excellent car, enjoy and safe driving

I watch you guys overland but not one myself, this is a great project. I am considering something similar without the overland equipment. I am shocked to hear what the master cylinder cosr.

Nice Adrian, this will be interesting and Roelfie will be jealous by the end😂

Looking forward to build of this new addition to the channel 👍🏾

Link to the sound deadening sheets please.

I am completely surprised about the roadworthy idea in Africa! I've been in African cars with no floors, with doors held on by fencing wire, tyres down to the steel belts, and no-one batted an eyelid!

Finally decided to join the big boys huh? 😁 Welcome to the club, and congratulations.

Omg 650 😂 for someone to tell you what’s wrong with your car where are you from in Australia it’s $80-$100 for a roadworthy and most people won’t charge you if it fails and they will tell you what’s wrong with the car for free

i have a 1996 80 series 4.2 donkie diesel. 490 000km on the clock and is my daily driver. cruisers are very nice cars for all round driving conditions. ill re spray my car yellow if terreain tamer spoiled me the way they spoilt adrians cruiser. enjoy your car bud. they are great cars regardless of age.

A truck you say...

What did you pay for it if I may ask? I bought a 2001 4.5 EFI 105 with 208k km on the clock for R162k by accident. Was at the wrong place at the right time. Had to do a little work on it. Fitted OME suspension and replaced all the bushes with terrain tamer bushes. Fitted a snorkel and some new tyres and victron duel battery system.

They are just as bad as land Rover's Toyota fan's keep all the faults secret because of their obsession to Toyota same as the Land Rover obsessed I had a 100 and 200 rubbish rubbish rubbish period. You will see in the end

Nice vid, very insightful 🙏😃👍

Nice JDM spec hundo mate! Really looking forward to more of the build videos as well as the trips you will be going on with it. The full touring setups are awesome but not attainable for everyone, so will be good to see some back to basics content

Awesome episode.. can't wait for next one..

So after the LC project, I recon you should revisit the Jimny journey....with a 5 door Jimny😉

Land Cruiser, it's like a Jeep but for grown-ups.

Adrian - g8 news. The unofficial LC club is just a fun choice. See you in the sticks buddy. Cheers Chris vdH

Good suspension upgrade. Kindly give me the rear coils you removed from your LC, I need to upgrade because of an added rear bumper, spare wheel & jerrican carrier.
Please 🙏

Congratulations on new vehicle brother

Good buy you won't regret; Kindly sell me the rear coil springs you have replaced on the LC. need to upgrade my own build due to added rear bumper and jerrycan carrier.
Please help me.

How much was the land cruiser

I'm so envious of the vehicle choices you guys have in Africa. All the good Landcruisers (The forthcoming American version is to much) and Hilux's to boot. We have an old RAV4 as our off-roading rig but I'd love to have the option to get something like this.

This is going to be good👍👍

What soundeadning is that you used?

Nice
Very nice

Lovely new truck!

I love my 80 Series, and I was not surprised you fell in love with a Land Cruiser. The 100 Series is the most underrated Series when it comes to the Land Cruiser line up. Most don't regard it as good offroad as the 80 Series, nor as comfortable as the 200 Series. But as an overlander/tourer, with real 4WD capabilities, it is very good. The upside of it being underrated, prices in the used market are not as high as the other series. In Australia, you can get a newer 100 Series with less kms for less price, than an older, higher kms 80 Series. Congratulations. 👍

You realize buying old vehicles like you do is a sickness. It can be treated with medication. If you need some of the meds I am required by a court order to take them so I can share with you 🤣🤣🤣 The good news is that your driveway will not be crowded when you take the meds. Bad news is that you will start buying other things like kayaks, bicycles, cameras, etc, etc, etc,

Congrats on the LC. Can you perhaps do a budget breakdown of the parts?

Ooh nice vehicle. I had one

Feels like the stars are sending you may way. When I first bought my Hilux you started the build project. I just bought a 120prado and then you get the cruiser 🙆🏾‍♂️, I trust you to take us through the build project also. One thing that had me baffled was the comfort of these cruisers when compared to the modern trucks

Can’t wait to see what you will be doing to the LC!

That should have been a Troopy!

At least you don't have to spend Rands to replace the turbos on this....But 500,000 is quite a lot of km's, enjoy your time with the "BIG BOYS"

Congratulations .It is a wonderful platform and we already looking forward to the build series .Thanks for sharing and taking us along

So excited to have found this video and your channel, i am about to get a 100 series with a 1HD-FTE as a family tourier (family of 5)

Don't be alarmed I would rather have that with 500km on it than a new Range Rover. Toyota make lots of great products and are known for making reliable stuff. Just enjoy it.

Looking forward to seeing what you do. I have near twin up here in Kenya though mine is manual with factory sub tank etc “ local spec” I’m told. Perfect engine.

Loved my HJ100R. Had 450k plus on it when I reluctantly sold it. Put 25k kms on it in 3 months around Oz pulling a 2tonne trailer. Replaced the alternator and rear shocks was all. Excellent motor and drive line. A 3inch high performance exhaust and throttle controller will make that ride even more amazing. Upgrade intercooler and transmission cooler maybe.

I'm following this with interest to see how long it takes before the complete Terrain Tamer or ARB catalogue is added for the sake of content.

What a baby with wet diaper.

1HD-FTE ftw🎉
