So true, in standard form that awesome. The only improvement I’ve done that’s really made a huge defence was adding gearstick extension to make it more economic for myself. The standard seats are the most comfortable ones I have ever had and they are the first to fit the curve of my back. Love the standard narrow tyres, specially in New Zealand ones . I’m not changing the tyres, suspension, engine power etc

@NorthOz 3 месяца назад

I’m glad I’m not the only one. I completely agree. So you got a chassis extension? What brand/company did you go with? Roughly what was the cost if you don’t mind me asking. Thanks for the comment 👍

@overland_adventure_nz 3 месяца назад

@@NorthOz whoops, I put gearstick extension and my super smart computer removed gas stick on Me without me noticing. No, my wheelbase is shorter than yours as I have a 78, I like the idea of being a walk-through to the back and just go to sleep.

@sttill81 3 месяца назад

Nice mate, only done 2000klms on my 78 but i love it standard to the point where I’m wondering if i even need a bullbar. Love just getting things as i need them and not thinking i need everything cause these trucks are good to go as they are with a bit of rust proofing

@NorthOz 3 месяца назад

Completely agree. If I had my time again I probably wouldn’t have done bar work straight from Toyota and had some more time to think. I’m glad you are loving the 78!

@michaelvaughan8249 3 месяца назад

Great video, I have a 23 79 workmate also, I love it. Are you planning on installing central locking? Would love to see a video on that. The manual windows don’t bother me but no central locking is a pain, especially with a canopy on the back that is central locking capability.

@NorthOz 3 месяца назад

Hi mate, I know what you mean. It makes sense to tie in the central locking to the canopy. I’m not planning on doing central locking on mine as I’m trying to limit the amount of wiring in the car. It definitely is not an expensive mod and from what I hear is pretty straight forward. Thanks for commenting on the video and watching 👍

@camerona6765 3 месяца назад

Central locking mate is 100% worth the day it takes to put in, you can get kits for them online. Best thing I’ve done to mine

@richardwalsh5570 3 месяца назад

I think I would change the airbox when you start doing really dusty stuff Mark. Even though could cause Warranty issues I think it's probably an important thing with the VDJ.

@NorthOz 3 месяца назад

I have been thinking about a custom sealed airbox. A lot of people use the terrain tamer kit for the air box but I’m thinking a whole new air box might be a safer bet

@nicknick7052 3 месяца назад

that's why the standard prefilter is so important. The aftermarket snorkels don't have it.

@Mikelennon78 3 месяца назад

@09Mrsubaru 3 месяца назад

Are those seats more comfortable than the Fortuner's cloth seats? I have a 24 Fortuner with cooled seats.

@NorthOz 3 месяца назад

If they are anything like the Prado cooled seats, then I would say yes. The Landcruiser seating position sits me up right instead of back which evens out the pressure 👍

@basicboi1157 3 месяца назад

Hi mate, I’m against to be honest. There’s arguments for and against but simply put, I don’t like messing around with anything that can cause pressures and adding additional systems to the existing one. I had one on my patrol and wasn’t convinced

I prefer the Prado vids from the past. Are you looking into getting the 250 Prado when they come out?

@NorthOz 3 месяца назад

We still have the Prado and we make vids every now and then on it. See the tow review episode 👍 I might do a review on the new one but have no plans on buying one. In my opinion, they aren’t worth it over the current Prado

@404errorpagenotfound.6 3 месяца назад

I don't think it's Toyota, I am noticing most production trays must be made from a very small number of manufacturers.

@calamarininjabeast5866 3 месяца назад

I guess it’s the tray manufacturer not giving it any thought, had to do a few modifications to get it up level with the bottom rail of the wheel holder

Fun fact: with a DPF you can have a side exit exhaust that exits on the left hand side of the vehicle as per ADR rules.

@NorthOz 3 месяца назад

Really? From my research, side dumps on the passenger side is not allowed. Is it different for DPF’s is it?

@beauDL 3 месяца назад

I remember reading something in the ADR pages about DPF equipped vehicles being allowed a n exhaust that exits the left side of the vehicle. An example they used was city busses. I’m trying to find and link the related ADR section.

@beauDL 3 месяца назад

I stand corrected, side exit exhausts must exit to the right only.

The big question people are asking how much wieght can you put on the roof its hard to get that info for any car very important but doesn't seem to be a problem for car makers it should be people load up there roof racks to much i think

@NorthOz 3 месяца назад

Most other vehicles I have owned have had a number for the weight loading. This doesn’t. Similar to most rain gutter vehicles like this, I think they just rely on common sense. I have seen blokes loading it up with hundreds of kgs of gear so I think it comes down to how brave you are

@NorthOz 3 месяца назад

Correct. I made a video commenting about most people not needing a bullbar. Later I go on to say that it is also a requirement of pushing through bush, housing winch units, mounting spot lights and protection from animal strikes when remote. This build satisfies those requirements. My patrol build also had a bullbar. My hilux and Prado did not. Different builds, different purposes

@nicknick7052 3 месяца назад

The perfect car doesn't exist yet, so it is a compromise what you need and what the car can offer you. Do you want the latest hifi car system? don't buy the 70. Do you want to tow 3.5T everyday all day? don't buy the 70. Do you want to cross a river? don't by a 70 ( and any other car). This car is what it is: a mule. It is silly to transform it in something else.

@NorthOz 3 месяца назад

In some respects I agree. But why not make a few adjustments to make it suit someone’s needs? I don’t agree with spending unlimited amounts on this car but a few choice mods makes this very livable day to day 👍

@nicknick7052 3 месяца назад

@@NorthOz my 5th 70s is a 4.5L 4 months old. I swap the same car every 2/3 years and I use it for leisure. What I learned so far: rule N.1 the car MUST BE light! If so you don't need aftermarket suspensions, clutches, brakes, correctors, chips, etc. No whatever rooftop, use swags. Do you really need a 100Kg bullbar? winch only if you go solo (I have two). Canopy: why not a very good quality canvas? Clean nose: not too big lights, bars, etc. Second set of excellent tall tyres, you don't need to rise the car 2 inches, 3 inches, etc. The car is certified to cross 700mm of water; do you need a snorkel? Basically the question before any mods is always the same: Do I really need it? But if you keep the weight down, this car doesn't need anything special, trust me.

Don't want to void warranty by changing exhaust, Toyota would fight you even if it didn't cause the issue.

@NorthOz 3 месяца назад

I’m not too concerned about warranty and the exhaust. I’m happy to void warranty on some parts but I just don’t see the upside to a full exhaust at this point unless I tune it. Which would definitely void the warranty
