Oops, I bought a Landcruiser! What have I done!? 500,000km Cruiser Gets Another Chance

This was about as much of a surprise to me as it might be to you! But with the Hilux being in the workshop for maintenance. I figured it might be a good idea to pick up a second vehicle, that can be my backup overlanding vehicle incase of something major happening in the future or have a daily drive that is a bit more sensible. So when this vehicle came up at the right price, I jumped! I landed up with a Toyota Landcruiser 100 Series VX Limited with a 4.2 1HDFTE a Straight Six Turbo diesel beast! This Cruiser has crossed Africa, Cape To Cairo and back Twice in its past. So that shows its more than capable for whatever I throw at it! It's been neglected in more recent years and deserves a bit of love! So I have come to my friends at Terrain Tamer to find all the bits and pieces I could ever need for my very own Toyota Landcruiser!
First on the Agenda, ROADWORTHINESS!

I love my 80 Series, and I was not surprised you fell in love with a Land Cruiser. The 100 Series is the most underrated Series when it comes to the Land Cruiser line up. Most don't regard it as good offroad as the 80 Series, nor as comfortable as the 200 Series. But as an overlander/tourer, with real 4WD capabilities, it is very good. The upside of it being underrated, prices in the used market are not as high as the other series. In Australia, you can get a newer 100 Series with less kms for less price, than an older, higher kms 80 Series. Congratulations. 👍

I'm so envious of the vehicle choices you guys have in Africa. All the good Landcruisers (The forthcoming American version is to much) and Hilux's to boot. We have an old RAV4 as our off-roading rig but I'd love to have the option to get something like this.

Feels like the stars are sending you may way. When I first bought my Hilux you started the build project. I just bought a 120prado and then you get the cruiser 🙆🏾‍♂️, I trust you to take us through the build project also. One thing that had me baffled was the comfort of these cruisers when compared to the modern trucks

Loved my HJ100R. Had 450k plus on it when I reluctantly sold it. Put 25k kms on it in 3 months around Oz pulling a 2tonne trailer. Replaced the alternator and rear shocks was all. Excellent motor and drive line. A 3inch high performance exhaust and throttle controller will make that ride even more amazing. Upgrade intercooler and transmission cooler maybe.

Well first up I’m just trying to fix the old girl up, so you’re definitely going to see a lot of terrain tamer during that process. I am trying very hard not to go over board, as that isn’t the intention for this vehicle… so I challenge you to keep me in check as the process goes along. But be warned I have an incredible ability to justify almost anything to myself, so I predict there will be resistance!

Its difficult to do but I will try! My quote for all the parts from toyota for a front to back rebuild of 90% of the important driveline, brakes, suspension, bushes, balljoints basically a full resto, excluding diffs,engine,transmission etc was R120k if I recall correctly; and we havent had to do it all yet.

@mvubu6823
@mvubu6823 2 месяца назад
South Africa has strict rules when changing ownership. (well in theory anyway.) After that, it is the owners responsibility to maintain it as such but no continuous testing is done UNLESS you are pulled over at random by traffic police. Terrible tires, no brakes etc will get you towed and impounded. It happens every day, but really only to the very worst vehicles.

Fitted OME suspension and replaced all the bushes with terrain tamer bushes. Fitted a snorkel and some new tyres and victron duel battery system.

R650 ZAR. That is about $35 US. You pay for your first inspection. They will either pass or fail your inspection. On the second inspection they will only check to see that the issues on the first inspection were carried out. There is a time period the failed issues have to be sorted out from first inspection (normally 30 days). They dont charge you for that second inspection.
