I Bought The Cheapest Land Cruiser ANYWHERE: It Was Hiding Some Gross Surprises Inside... 

What, a whole land cruiser under 2k USD???? Here in my place, you won't buy a rotten frame + papers for less than 5000 USD, and can't expect anything that can start and move on its own for less than 10 000... I mean, guys, a used engine alone is worth more than $2000. You were basically gifted with that car :(

I like the Hoovies shirt while buying the cheapest in the US.

That looks like an early 2000's Holiday Rambler diesel pusher in the background. I owned one and recently sold it for a new class B Ford Transit camper van. Mine had a 24v 5.9l Cummins engine that was no slouch getting going and got 12mpg. Not bad for a 26k lb coach...

Love the video but it’s his relationship and it being at his buddies yard helped in the price. Normally that thing easily 4k even with its issues

Looking forward to this build

Tommy is a Ram man now like Mr. Truck. Welcome... welcome.

Gotta show us an update after he fixes it up

This beat up Land Cruiser is still 100x more reliable than Tommy's new Wrangler.

Yes, the Rams are amazing at towing, but watch that drag link, I went through 2 of them...

@6:30; got a little nervous when I saw Tommy being a spotter 🥴😬

For a sec I thought it was an 80’series, now the price makes sense.

Why do I see guys choosing the 100 series landcruisers over the 200 series ? Did the 100 series landcruisers come with E lockers?

I got a 2003 4Runner Limited V8. If you guys wants one I’ll sell it to you.

Oneth, boom!

280k miles and sitting 2 years and starts right up, and no warning lights. Amazing

I hope you all make video updates if not a series on the progress of this vehicle.

It's a Land Cruiser. Just buff it out and she'll be right. 😁

great video love working with you guys and can't wait to test it on the ranch

The Hoovies Garage tee-shirt is yet another crossover with that channel. This is like the third one.

Land Cruisers are the ultimate off-road rig

I lucked out and got a 96 triple locked for $1000 from an elderly woman who wanted it gone after her husband passed. I offered to give her much more and she said, “get that ugly thing off my lawn.” California, passed smog, leaked oil like I owned OPEC, and needed a new starter but has been a fun project. An incredibly lucky find, oh…no rust, probably because it had a lot of oil everywhere.

LC prices have gone crazy here in Australia also. In fact the whole used car market has. I could easily sell my LC 100 turbo diesel for more than I paid for it 10 years ago.

Wait, you can buy a car for less than $10k? The heck is going on here, even if it needs repairs. Prices have gone nuts since the cash for clunkers put me out of business flipping used $500 clunkers, putting about $800 in parts and labor, then sell for $3000.

Glad to see that Land Cruiser will be back on the road where it should be. Thieves are disgusting and can destroy a vehicle in no time. When our 60 series Land Cruiser was stolen, in 2017, it showed up 8 months later in Los Angeles. It's back in Colorado and about a month away from completion of body work, paint and reassembly. That 100 series has nothing in it compared to ours. So as best I recall, the list looks like this: (Approximately) 7 plastic bags of clothes (30 gallon size) Three sleeping bags 12-18 backpacks, most full of pencils, colored, etc. No identification in them. 12 or more small purses 10 plus handbags and satchels (no ID) One compressor (large, dual tanks, again, not working) One electric guitar (not functioning, missing strings, etc.) One tambourine Two generators (one 5300 Wts and a second 3200 Wts). One ran but it didn’t product electricity, the other didn’t run.) One lawyer case (no identification) Four extension cords (cut up) One non-functioning floor jack Ten locks and bike locks Four skateboards, a long board, like four feet and another short board Numerous batteries Electronic “boom box” One gas propelled bike Two mini-bikes (on top to vehicle) Four 10-speed bikes One wheelbarrow (four wheels) 40 plus cell phones (no iPhones), mostly in backpacks and laying around in vehicle, all broken with cracked screens. Lots of various cables. Dog food and poop Dead dog One potential firearm (turned in to police. It was wrapped in electrical tape, so I couldn’t tell for sure what it was.) Maybe 50 keys One panel light on top of vehicle One cash dollar and some loose change

It's great too see there are still deals out there, great content

A lot of your parts can be found used on Ebay. McGeorge Toyota online parts will be cheaper than any dealership, if...they have parts for that year and model Land Cruiser.

Yeah, Chase! Cathing a great deal on this Toyota 100 series! It has come together pretty good in the last couple of weeks as well.

280k miles and sitting for 2 years and it has less warning lights than my 6 months old Jeep

I have a similar story with my '03 100 series. My buddy GAVE it to me after it sat for 2 years. My tow truck driver wanted to try and start it with his jump pack. It started right up and he drove it off the flat bed! A week of cleaning and new carpet, battery, ARB bumper, o2 sensor, new gas tank, tank skid plate, straps, and she's great!

totally can get it on the road for little money so good!! And with a OME lift?!

YOUR WAYYYYY TOO NERDY TOMMY! 💯

A “Hoovies” fan...

Awesome score 🤙🏽

Wow highway robbery at 1500 lol

You need to do a follow up video on the Land Cruiser when it is done.

Any warning lights.....noooo. Meanwhile, dash looks like a Christmas tree. That's a 98-99,there is no "electronic" suspension on that one

Great video Tommy. Thank you.

Well......and here I am about to sell my wife's 1999 Land Cruiser. 190,xxx. 16K. Will need brakes soon and the stock suspension is tired. California truck.

What kind of diesel you have there? In Europe Diesels can go up to 4500RPM redline. As i saw, you have redline on 3200RPM what is quite low from my point of view

Land cruisers are common and cheap here in Dubai. A new 2020 land cruiser from toyota dealership with zero miles starts from 219k AED with today's conversion rate it translates to 59K USD

I’m the original owner of a 2000 Land Cruiser exactly like this one (white/champagne) with beige leather. Fully loaded. It has 72k miles on it and it is without question the best built car I have ever owned. In 22 years, I’ve done brakes once, oil, filters, fluids, tires and a few batteries. It runs and drives exactly the same way today as it did 22 years ago. I will never, ever part with it even if I don’t drive it daily. The only downside is the 13-17mpg.

Last year I’m almost positive I bought the cheapest Land Cruiser in the country with 150K on it at the time. Only paid $2500 for it. Now granted it was pretty rusty and it needed it new rear axle, but the frame itself was still very solid. Did all the work myself, spent a fortune on parts and just got done putting a lift kit, bigger tires and whole new front end on it. Definitely couldn’t be happier with it now, was a fun lil project truck lol

Is there an update on the Ram?

Way to be cliché with the “I bought the cheapest xxxx in country….” Plus it was basically bought through a buddy so doesn’t exactly count. 🙄

Keep us posted on this build!

Awesome rig. Good luck with the build!

Bought a lift kit, got a free truck.

A sippy pipe 😂🤣😂🤣 amazing how well it runs after sitting so long

Lmao sippy pipe

Loving the Land Cruiser content lately. Let’s get some 80 series videos!!

love the content lately

No worries about scratches, or minor off road damage.

This will be a great build series! Ensure to send a camera guy over on a bi weekly basis.

Globally 100 where offered with 4.5 L Inline 6 with about 245 HP and 300 lbs-ft with a 5 speed manual or a 4 speed automatic

i promise you, you really have not seen a toxic car market until you look into land cruisers

there is a Easter egg. look at the guys short and you'll notice it 😁

Not the cheapest, I just bought my mint black 97 lx450 for $1000 from a pick and pull yard before it got molested, only thing wrong was rear lugs broke off. Got a key made and started right up and have been driving it ever since. They even made me a title for it! No rust on it either. Here in CO to.

Wow he was extremely lucky.

Lucky guys

It's just a flesh wound!

Tell us why there's leaves on the tree but snow on the cars lol

Thumbs up for the Hoovie's tshirt :P

We had to rent a Ram 2500 to recover our stupid old Ford F250 that blew the gearbox on vacation. 11,000lb load in total. Couldn't even tell, that Ram was such a monster.

Then get the Lexus GX470

LOVE me some Toyota content

I wasn't distracted by that green LS at all... how's the interior?

Bought my 01 lx470 with 438k miles for $4000 a year ago. Has right at 450k now. Wouldn't trade it for anything.

Let's see the 100 series update

What a lucky guy. Here in Costa Rica you would have to pay 10k for something in similar to worse condition. Is amazing how much people are willing to pay for a LC. Most of those are basically expensive clunkers at this point.

Dude, insanely smoking hot deal! I'm so glad I bought mine just before the market lost it's mind. Now I'm almost afraid to drive it in case some idiot wrecks into me and I have to replace it. Eh, two kidneys is overkill anyway...

There was a guy on mud who got one for 250 bucks last year. Its body was in better shape than this one. Very high miles. I think I remember it ran but poorly until he did some work to it This one looks like an awesome start of a project

Cracks me up how these guys get all bricked up over towing!!

Let’s see the good build on that 100 series Land Cruiser with what it costs and then let’s see you put it up against some of those new fancy four by fours!

was crazy storm, we had > 2' snow in late May but all melted two days later

Bong lol

Love these videos! I relate to these classics videos a lot haha. After someone wrecked my Lexus LS430, I bought an LC 100 series. Great vehicle and extremely reliable. Willing to drive it anywhere with no hesitation. I'm stupid enough to own 5 German cars, but had to have a Toyota. I joke (kind of serious) about having the LC just in case all the German cars decide to break down.

If it had had tow hooks, the crooks wouldn’t have lost it.

Damn i think he might have got a better deal then me. I bought a 1994 ford f150 xlt 4x4 reg cab swb 5.0 5 speed with only 106k miles for $3k! Hell he can put like another 800 into it and its worth $10k a really quicj “survivor” story to justify BAT prices!

SOUNDS LIKE A JOB FOR CHEMICAL GUYS LOL

I would put a 2.8l Cummins engine in it

O my 1500 realy dont get you much any more😕......

Rust? That's not a surprise. That's a factory option

An ARB bumper under $1000? Boss you gotta let us know where you getting your prices from!

Bro! As long as that runs! It doesn’t matter!!

7:30, “no wiggle wiggle, just rolls….” 😂

Wow! Definitely the cheapest. I paid 3400 for a running/driving lx470 with a clean title and interior but rotten frame last January. Found a rust free donor frame and am almost ready to slide it back under the body. Awesome vehicles!

That is awesome! It will go for years yet!

Toyota sucks!

You mentioned the AHC system. That model didn't come with AHC.

Very cool video!

Okay, so slightly misleading with thr details about the title. So while the title might not be branded, if the insurance carrier declared the vehicle a total loss, the VIN will be tainted by that, and any appraisal down the road that checks the VIN will see the theft recovery and total loss history and it's residual value will reflect that and some carriers might not sell full coverage for it or no coverage at all.

That's going to be a big headache.

Landcruiser is my dream car! But only brand new.

Even so, that pile of twisted scrap metal is way better than a Land Rover 🤑💰

Yesterday a intact land cruiser arrived to the Oklahoma city lkq pull a part and its that same color

Careful of those 100 series IFS lower control arms have cracking issues.

Here's the thing, it doesn't look like it would have been issued a (Salvage title) but if it has one, once you rebuild it, and if you try to resale it, the new buyer might have a problem getting insurance for it. Since the prices have skyrocketed, insurance companies are denying and refusing to insure a lot of vehicles that they would have insured just two years ago. So buyer beware!

Lost me the moment I saw the Hoodies Garage shirt 🤦

Lol just buy a 1st gen tundra, sequoia, 4 tunner. Same overall reliability cause toyota and the same v8

1800 rpm not bad
