Before & After: Is a Bone Stock Toyota Land Cruiser Any GOOD in the Dirt? | TFLpro S.1 EP. 1 

LandCruiser “based on a Tundra” lol. You guy don’t know much about LandCruisers...

You guys must know nothing about Toyota 4x4's. The LC is based off of nothing but itself and one of the best vehicle heritages in the world.

LC200 isnt based on the tundra, its based on the LC200

They’re not built on the Tundra at all. And don’t butcher it for a snorkel. Seriously.

No matter what you guys do, can you show how much you guys spent on parts and installation? Show how expensive/affordable this build can be.

I love this. I’m constantly dreaming up OEM models that were never built. Don’t you dare holding short at any cost lol. Embroider the seats if you have to!

Finally a land cruiser video I was desperately waiting for this

LC based on a Tundra, hah that's funny! Now tell me who's your daddy?

TRD exhaust! Black TRD wheels Different headlights More of a TFL PRO grill Bfg KO 2 2 inch fox lift Remove the mud flaps

Am I the only one that thinks that while they do good reviews...... the TFL guys could use some lessons in off road driving?

Should do an ORI before your TFL Pro upgrades. Then do the ORI after. Would be a good comparison.

You forgot to mention a very important off-road feature that all Land Cruisers come with, KDSS (kinetic dynamic suspension system) It optimally adjusts front and rear stabilizers based on a set of interconnected hydraulic cylinders. The interconnection is made up of hydraulic piping and a control cylinder which is located at the frame rail. KDSS, which is fully mechanical, can disengage the stabilizer bars. This system will not engage during normal driving conditions, when hydraulic pressure is equal. In off-road conditions, KDSS activates when it senses that a wheel has dropped. Some 4Runners also have it, mine does. Improves both off-road and on-road handling by loosening stabilizers when articulation is needed and stiffening them progressively firmer at speed for road use

Voodoo Blue Land cruiser would've been one of a kind 😂

Black out the big badge on the tail gate. Put on a Tundra Pro true dual exhaust.

You are so horribly mistaken, when u say, Tundra and LC are built on same platform. LC200 and LC570 have a class of its own and share same platform. And its shared with no other vehicle. Sequoia and Tundra are same platform. Too bad, you have bought the vehicle, not knowing and understanding true value of it.

The Land cruiser is the TRD PRO with out all the upgrades like the T4R, Taco, tundra and etc

The 2020 LC 200 heritage edition is pretty close to a factory TRD Pro package. It is a stunning truck

YAASSSS! Finally!! Can’t wait to see the series! I have a 100 series I’m just getting started on and looking forward to see what you do to the 200! Thanks guys!!!

And please gwt your facts right LC doesnt share tundra frame .

You guys are spot on with the direction for the build ,and I love this new series for the channel

My uncle has a landcruiser, he has lifted it and put mud terrain tires, it's a beast and super reliable

Yes! Was hoping y’all would get the cruiser off road equipped. Can’t wait for the rest of these episodes.

love this vid. you need to make more like this.

I’m so excited for this series! Can’t wait to see what you guys come up with!

The LC and the Tundra are not even close to the same underneath. The Sequoia and the Tundra share drivetrains and components.

This is going to be a great series! Thank you for bringing it to us

“We’re gonna try to keep this Land Cruiser looking as stock as possible” *immediately changes grill*

So excited for this build. Looking forward to seeing it.

It’s nice to see you guys go out of the normal realm, and venture into mods like these. This is awesome!

You guys are pretty cool, I like your channel. I am super stoked for this series!

When showing clips about approach/departure/breakover angle, may you please get the camera down lower/closer so we can more clearly see contact and clearances? I really look forward to this build series! Thanks, TFL!

Awesome! Can’t wait to see you he upcoming vids!!

I've been so excited for this series!

Okay you got me , I'm hooked, can't wait to see this build. What a great idea.

Excited to see the finish product, hope you guys upload it soon!

Another great video guys! 👍

I would definitely add a rear locker; maybe something like an ARB Air Locker..

I absolutely LOVE your channel and website! Thanks and keep up the great work!!!

Awesome video this was cool

finally TFL means business ...surely caught my attention now..only thing I want to mention that other than the engine the LC DOES NOT SHARE THE SAME PLATFORM thank you

Really looking forward to this series! Good work guys!

Hello TFL, Just like everyone makes mistake comparing this to an LX570, you guys mistake it for being build on Tundra. Only similarity(with Tundra) is the Engine, but even that is build in a completely different country; to be specific, the most iconic Toyota factory which is bench-marked by most. And no, land cruiser is not aimed at the off-road market. It is purely designed for customers who looks for comfortable long distance cruising in tough terrains and locations were reliability and serviceability is paramount. This vehicle has limited applications in USA, hence the low sales volume and the confusion about its market positioning.

can not wait , good job guys .

Great Job TFL! Excited to see this Build, Keep up the Great Content.

Been waiting for this cruiser videos!! This is gonna be awesome!!

I think after all my complaining in literally every toyota offroad video not showing the land cruiser finally paid off. Great content!

Nice I have been waiting for the TFL Pro LandCruiser transformation series for a few months now after it was announced by Roman on a live show. I have already seen the finished product in the Jeep Wrangler JL announcement as the new TFL long term tester video and it looks absolutely LEGIT. Even though I love VooDoo Blue and even the Orange they had, the white with black is so clean and mean. Looking forward to the rest of this TFL Pro series.

The Land Cruiser is superior to all the "TRD Pro" models which is why they don't make a LC TRD Pro. My 100 series is a fraction of the cost of any TRD Pro model and is just as capable as all of them.

Can't wait to see the up dates

I've been waiting for this series since you guys released a video end of last year saying you bought a Land Cruiser!!

Did you guys get a model with KDSS?? Can't remember if it's standard on the land cruisers but you'll want to make sure you get a lift kit compatible with it if you do have it

Looking forward to the build. Like Bill P Dual Exhaust !!!

PLEASE skip the goofy snorkel!!!!

I'm stoked for this.

Very excited for this series. That is a great idea. Hopefully you don't upset Toyota, but motivate them to build one themselves.

You should have added an ORI score, it would be nice to see a before and after. 1st thing I did on my old Xterra was take the mud flaps off as well. KO2s, 2"lift and skid plates, lose the side steps and good to go. Also 1st ever Roman made me laugh with fridge joke 👍

Shots fired @9:38 @Streetspeed717 they calling you out 😂😂😂 👀

Very excited for this one!

Excited for this series!

I love you guys keep the adventures coming! Put some KO’2 on this beast.

Landcruiser is its own vehicle not a tundra or anything else and built in Japan maybe USA

As I Jeep guy, I must say... very, very cool idea guys. Totally looking forward to it!

Your "series" videos just keep getting better and better. Roman, you're one big dude and I don't mean waistline big! Is there any vehicle you fit in where your hair is touching the roof of the car? lol.

Great! In my country, V6 LC200 has a rear diff lock. It is very important for off-road, especially in Mongolia.

talked to Mr. Tommy's dad at CU graduation, keep it up guys. Love the toyota vids.

I would consider: -Kaymar rear bumper or CBI fab -ARB front end -Dobinsons suspensión -total chaos UCA -Slee sliders -CBI armor -Front runner roof rack

gonna be an awesome series

Cool. Sounds like a good plan!

I use to have a landcruiser (actually 2, 1994 and 2000) and it was very good except for the deathtrap tires it had on.. Michelin's. Hydroplaned horribly. Once I dumped them and got AT tires, night and day

damn so excited for this series

I like this idea. Can't wait to see the outcome. Plus you can do this for other models RAV4 Pro or other brands Ford, Chevy etc.

I see you like to poke fun at the snorkel but, it is a must in many countries ( maybe not in the USA ) like for where I am from certain trim levels of the 70 series come standard with a snorkel

Toyota did a xtrem version here in Dubai last year, very similar in concept to the TRD pro in the States. They still sell FJ cruiser here and also do a xtrem model too 🤗

I’m very excited about this series haha

Can’t wait to see the end product!

Very cool vid....😎 👍 👊

Waiting for this from a long time, can't wait for the next episodes 😍😍, you guys are great never missed a single video from your channels since last 2 years, thumbs up 👍👍

Good plan! She is so beautiful, and I cant wait to see the end result. Esp the grill......don't forget the disco....

Awesome. Can’t wait.

I have a 200 series LC with Tundra TRD Pro wheels... it’s a great setup! All terrain tires are a must have for any off road adventures. The LC and Tundra might share many components, but they feel very different behind the wheel. The main distinction between both, is that the LC was made with very high engineering standards, with sought after overland reliability. The Tundra was made to be a work truck, to reliably get in and out of a job site. I’ve seen overland videos with Tundras... they’ll get the job done, but they aren’t really elegant driving through trails.

I suspect that a 2-3 inch lift and more aggressive tires would make a big difference.Of course some protection underneath wouldn't hurt either.

That's Awsome can't wait

Awesome idea guys! Can't wait to watch this series unfold. Who's gonna have the balls to drill the hole in the fender for the air intake?

I’m looking forward to this transformation.

I think you should skip trying to make it factory. Put BP51 OME suspension on it and put some EVO Corsa wheels on with K02 tires and go enjoy it

you guys forgot about the trd exhaust that is awesome you need to do that to it :D

It will be beast after modifications 👌

What an awesome idea!!!

When is the next episode coming? Can't wait!!

I'm excited to see what it looks like!

A few among numerous upgrades need to be headers, free-flow exhaust, MSD ignition, Split-Fire plugs, Jacobs wires, K&N air filter, Air Raid intake pipe, and some heat shielding. 3-5" Rancho suspension/body combo lift, poly U bushings, and BF Goodrich 29-33" tires. Plus a good tune, and high octane fuel. I made my FJ60 into a tuner. She would go almost anywhere the Sammy could go (almost)

Love this channel.. just a thought thi.. i thought the Tundra and Sequoia shared the same chassis.. didnt think it was also shared with the cruiser 🤷‍♂️

Can't wait 👍

I have loved Toyota 4x4's. Currently I have a 2001 Sequoia that I bought new in 2000 after owning a used Land Cruiser for 5 years. But now, the cyber truck is all I want. It does every thing I need. I look forward to getting one when they come out and owning it for 20 years if the batteries make it. Will find out. I have no problem at some point buying replacement batteries if needed.

I’m actually really excited for this. This channel has grown so much more from the Ike gauntlet days. But... please forgo the snorkel. Do rock sliders, beefier tyres, a lift, and belly armor. Add in the paint job and some TRD (or TFL) decal and this thing is probably set to tackle 95% of what most Jeeps will do. But you’ll be doing yours in luxury with a fridge.

Was 9:37 supposed to be a call out to streetspeed717?

Jesus hadn't realized how significant badging is for going offroad, in a LC...

Already got the sneak peek of what you did prior to this video. So not really any point in giving any ideas on what you should or should not do. With the exception of a paint change, I like what you guys did to it. ;) I liked your idea of turning it into a TRD/TFL that was something Toyota should have done. Hope you get the royalties from them later on when they finally decide that the LC could use a TRD badge on it. ;) And you no doubt have already enjoyed all the modifications you have made. Was an excellent choice to buy when you did. And was an excellent plan you had to up its game. Enjoy it. Hope you keep that for a very LONG time. Or at least keep it in the TFL family and let someone else buy it from the company if and when you no longer wish to have it in your inventory.

Can buy the diff lock kit from Aus, they offer lots of choices for aftermarket parts

The land cruisers that we get in the Middle East are equipped with Rear diff lock even on the V6 version
