I recently purchased a 2006 100 Series Land Cruiser with 159k miles, and your video made me feel much more confident about my decision. Have you had to replace the heater T's or encountered any issues with the master brake assembly? Also, is this your daily driver? Thanks again for the great content!
@@noctilucent7396 congrats on your purchase. That’s a score. I just recently had the timing belt and water pump replaced. Also replaced the heater T’s and a few lines that looked old. I think it’s a good idea to replace them when doing all that just to ensure it’s longevity. I haven’t had any other issues other than replacing the CV axles. It is my daily driver however it is very thirsty. Thanks for watching!
@@kendrekmarrero5585 me too, 🤣 I do have some new ideas on building it out a little different, just need the time to get at it. The simple setup has worked great though. Thanks for watching!
@@russellanderson3509 nice! It just has some basic Monroe shocks that were already on it. Same as what would be on the original truck. If I ever replace them, I will probably go with some bilstein shocks.
Hello my friend 7:37 I own a 2003 Land Cruiser GXR. It has an internal refrigerator that is located in the middle next to the driver. It is enough for hunting trips Easy and reliable, I recommend it if it is not available in your model from Saudi Arabia❤
I love that this video is being watched around the world. The newer models here have that option but the year I have does not. That’s cool that yours does. I wish they had that here. The fridge I bought hooked up in the rear works great for us.
If you look back at my older videos I was a Tacoma guy for a long time. I put together a few videos on my old Tacoma. Definitely things I miss about it. Always was curious about the Landcruisers and now I understand why! It’s a sweet rig as well! Thanks for watching!
It’s been done. I have seen a few with camper modifications. Surprised more don’t however. With the proper seals and the open cab it would be the perfect candidate.
Electrical is done and it’s road legal. Just need time. Hopefully this spring I’ll be able to get back too it and add the finishing touches. Thanks for watching!
Have you ever driven one or had the 3.0? I know the 3.0 has a bad rap, but I personally have never had issues with it. The extra power is significant over the 22re. It’s only a 3.slow compared to the 3.4, which would be my choice on a future swap. Only if the day comes I start having issues. Thanks for watching!
G’day from Tassie Australia wicked video mate 👌 I’m looking to do basically the same in my 105 and make a little cut out at the back of the ply for the child restraint points
I did not. But that was my plan. I actually pulled it out and am currently thinking about a different design that’s not so heavy once it’s all done I will definitely share.
Sorry I didn't realize I had a stroke in the first comment. 😅. Do you mean the total weight fully loaded or just the plywood itself? It's a concern to me as well because the ome 2865s I'm running aren't rated for anything over 250lbs before I squat.
@@dothiswithme both. The giant piece of ply is pretty heavy and if I build drawers on top, it would be even worse. So I am thinking about lighter ply options without the big base plate.
No video update yet on the trailer.. However the wiring is done and it is road legal now. I have a few more ideas for it, just need time to get back to it. Hopefully soon! Good luck with your project and thanks for watching!
No doubt! I can not even imagine covering the same distance on a trip in Europe. I have family from Norway and they laugh at me when I complain about fuel prices over here.
I regret having sold our 1999 LC 100 series six years. Now after watching your video, I want another newer LC 100. By the way, after doing the math on your road trip gasoline cost/mpg, ($700.00/4,000 miles = 17.5 mpg) 17.5 mpg is not bad at all for a 6,000 lbs on a lifted suv, with all-terrain, off-roady tires, loaded down with passengers and cargo and traveling through mountainous roads. Thank you for sharing your info and video!
Keep in mind we started the trip with a full tank and ended it on empty. It was probably around 12-14 mpg, but I still love the rig. They definitely live up to Cruising the Land! Thanks for watching!
Absolutely love your 1st Gen 4Runner! The Red looks great, her stance looks tough & I especially love how good that V6 sounds, assuming that it is a V6. Seriously, she sounds so good I thought, "Maybe he put a V8 in that bad-girl". Forgive me, but i am deaf, lost my hearing back in 1989 when I was 19yrs old(not fishing for sympathy - I've got the eyesight of a 20yr old fighter pilot). I've got a 1988 4Runner, Black w/the Silver Stripes & V6. I bought my "Mountain Goat" 4Runner in 1994 & am beginning a complete restoration right now. I'd LOVE to have my V6 sound that good(my modern, hi-tech hearing aids allow me to hear at some level). Anyway, just discovered your channel & wanted to say how awesome & impressive your 4Runner is. Keep up the good work.
Great ideas! I have a 1993 2nd Generation Toyota 4Runner, that I am converting into an overland vehicle. I will use your video as a reference. Thank you! Keep up the work.
Caution!! Great Idea and video! but NO ALCOHOL!! It will remove or disolve the dark gray paint and smear it over the silver paint on the console bezel. It did it on mine when I tried it to ease the removal. The bezel area was the hardest so that was when I decided to use alcohol. So it permanently stained it.😒😒 I think you can see it on his. It looks just like it.
