We’re Dennis and Rahel - we love all things travel, photography, camping and good food (because who doesn’t like food, right?😜). Our home on the road features a 76 series Toyota Landcruiser and a rooftop tent, and it’s taken us to some pretty crazy places since we started travelling.
We initially began exploring more of Australia back in 2021, and this has only continued to grow our passion for the outdoors. We share a lot of our travels on our Instagram (find us @seventysixtracks) and are also excited to be able to share some of our favourite landscapes via print (all links available via Linktree below)
On a side note, we’re always up to talk travel and answer any questions you might have - flick us a message here or find us on - linktr.ee/seventysixtracks
@@atw196 Hi there! We bought a second hand tray and boxes that we are using for the interim as we will go down the route of a fitted out canopy setup. In regards to seat covers you can’t beat the black duck 4 elements. We’ve got them in 2 cars and highly rate them.
@@Biz36524 Hi there, I guess they are slightly affected but there are 2 side indicators as well as bumper indicators that are in accordance with Aus standards. Pretty well every bullbar on the market will slightly block them depending which way you look at it.
@@matthewtrigwell7803 thanks mate, and it’s not that hard once you’ve done it a few times is it. Plus it gives you a lot more confidence in your own vehicle
Dude that looks mint. Really like the black on blue duco also. Taliban Tan used to be different now the blue is possibly. Keen the see the build, cheers.
Hi Scott, no I don’t. I have the huracen adapters for ford xr seats. And I found they sit slightly lower and a bit further back. At 6’4 every inch of leg room counts
Great video bro. I just bought my first 76... and I really wanted to learn how to service it. Would love to see your take on the diff and transfer case Oils etc. As well as your grease care. Thanks for the video it was very informative
Hey mate, thanks for the message. So I change the gearbox and transfer oils as regularly as the diffs. If I've been going through water and heavier offroad use I change it around 20k k. If only highway driving I’ll do it whenever I get the chance before 30-40k km. I use penrite pro gear gl5 oils for diffs, gl4 gearbox and transfer case. Greasing - I do the front driveshaft every 5k if we've been doing plenty of 4x4ing and if not every 10-15k. Don't go over the top, they only need a couple of pumps each. And careful not to over grease the spline of the driveshafts as it'll restrict movement under full compression. Ball joints etc - I throw a few pumps of grease in every oil change. Just recently changed my first set at 250k km but even then they still had life left in them. I've been happy with all the penrite products. Would double check oil for your 76 as they changed the recommended types for engine after 2016, and the gearbox did change a gear ratio. So I’m unsure if it still uses the same viscosity oils. The penrite tablets in any repco will be able to tell you. Hope this helps
Love the setup guys, ive been looking into The Bush Company RTT but i can't find a reliable source for the roof load rating on the 76 series and nothing in the manual, with everything you have bolted on, awnings, rack, RTT how much weight in total do you think you have on the roof? Under 150kg?
Hi there, we’ve got a decent estimate of around that 150kgs including load bars as we don’t have a rack. Correct that there is no real resource in the manual, online etc. maybe there is with the new model ? What I’ve come up with is on the Toyota website when ordering a new 76 at the time you could order a a set of load bars with it rated to 150kg + the load bar weight. A rough estimate of 160kgs total. Also there is an email circulating around that was headered and footed by Toyota stating the same above. 150kg + approved load bars in any conditions (dynamic and off-road) Take this how you want but I’d interpret as Toyota only like Toyota stuff therefore any other branded load bar would be included in the 150kg dynamic loads Now I know this is a very roundabout answer but I’ve been down the route you are trying to find the roof weight and that’s the best I got. I also received a similar answer from my local Toyota. I’ve never had any drama with overloading as we do come in at our gvm and I’ve adjusted my suspension to suit the body roll.
Hi there. Many folk go to extraordinary lengths for their electrical needs. Some spend huge dollars. I don’t get it. You seem to manage with the most basic of set ups. Your thoughts? I love basic setup (trouble free). Love the 76.
Hey Harry! We’ve added a Linktree post to our profile but it’s linktr.ee/seventysixtracks :) The windows are the cruisercompany windows and available via www.thecruisercompany.com.au/product-page/76-series-lift-up-windows
