What a crazy two weeks!
It took many long days to get this ready for the ONX Build off but as you will see in the video... it moves!
I'm so excited to get this on the trail and use it instead of working on it.
This Land Cruiser 80 isn't done. We still need a few things like hydro assist and transfer case gears but it's so nice to wheel a little in the meantime.
Enjoy the video!

The level of professionalism here is evident. Nate and Dave have approached this build like the pros that they are. And while the truck’s name is Dumpster Fire, it is anything but. Beautiful work.

@teamvegas05 Год назад

Absolutely! Not sure how his vote count is so low. This thing is insanely capable and the build is unreal!!! Nate, great work sir. Got all my votes for sure.

@code_xj Год назад

Absolutely perfect timing. Just woke up on a nice Sunday morning sipping my coffee. Then you upload a video. Great start to the morning

@paysonunwin7363 Год назад

Literally same

@vetguy2562 Год назад

Exactly, I barely started my coffee and scratched my sac when I saw it on 👍

@mikeappel5389 Год назад

I run 40s for 4 years all stock axles rock crawling and mud bogs and I still drive it on the road weirdos I been doing this for 18 years when people use to scoff at us with a lift on a 80 lol

@ben2687 Год назад

Out of the three competitors, I believe your build is the most repeatable for the "average builder." I think this is a HUGE benefit to most and I'm excited to see the end result. Win or lose, great job sir!

@CA11100 Год назад

Yup. I feel like the other builds aren’t in the spirit of the competition as much.

@TheAnimal191 Год назад

No way I could replicate that level of attention to detail in the bodywork

@CA11100 Год назад

@@TheAnimal191 the body work is time consuming but not that complicated really

@ratfarmers Год назад

My vote is to keep it like a solo camp rig setup kinda like we all had before wife and kids! I miss the easy days of camping and just throwing in a cooler, tent, sleeping bag and a bag of clothes!

@robinfly7303 Год назад

As an 80 owner, I love what you are doing with this LX. Re storage, the interior of the tail gate is perfect for recovery gears because it is so easy to get to. I keep my rear seats since it is my daily driver, but I built a platform at the same height as my rear seats when seat backs are folded down, then place plywood over the platform and rear seats; with a 4" memory form on top, it is a very comfortable bed when I take it for camping trips.

@jamesbishop2079 Год назад

👍💯

@DeanJohnson67 Год назад

of the 3 builds this one is the one I'd want! Very capable but also very daily driver!

@JohanWiid Год назад

That drop down tailgate has a bunch of room for recovery gear. Some laser cut templates, a few hinges and rivnuts and you get a nice place to store recovery gear.

@davespickelmier5592 Год назад

Several on the market, mine is a huracan from Oz

@MicahBell_1860 Год назад

Huracan Fabrication has a kit to make that tailgate into a storage compartment with a latchable, hinged door. I also use it for recovery gear

@MichaelBlack-ud4bg 2 месяца назад

Nate, I have an 05' Nissan Xterra. What I love about it's seats is both, passenger and driver seats fold ALL the way down with the rear bench removed. So what I've done is bought a stock bucket driver seat and installed it in between the driver and passenger seat. So now it can sleep 3. The 3rd seat fully reclined still gives me enough room to build a horse shoe shaped storage, fridge, battery etc... area while giving me a line of sight out of the rear window.

@AntonioClaudioMichael Год назад

Great job teaching the kiddo! Great dad! ! ! The crew cab S10 is cool.

@moose4130 Год назад

Nate, you may want to consider upgrading the steering shaft to a 105 series shaft. It's much beefier, but fits in the regular 80 series steering box. All the part numbers are available through Toyota, and a whole kit is available through Wit's End.

@farmer-jon Год назад

I would say builder for a single. You have the Land Rover to do family trips with. But I will say this. You can do a 3 seat setup for the regular and still have a bed platform. You could even make the rear (3rd) seat removable and have the rest of the platform fold flat so you can do a platform for father son wheeling trips.

@signman9975 Год назад

You have two family offroad builds...the Gladiator and the Land Rover. I say make this a solo rig and build a platform with drawers all the way to the front seats so you can store all your stuff. I built a drawer for the back of my Sequoia and I love it. Great build.

@AntonioClaudioMichael Год назад

You are a Samurai sword-making master for cars.

@overpakd Год назад

Love this build! In my 80, I built a drawer system with the top as a sleeping platform. You can leave the 2nd row seats. Just set the drawer platform height to match the height of the folded over 2nd row seat backs. I release the bottom latch and put a 3" block under each one so they're nice and level. Throw in a self inflating camp mattress and boom, sleeping platform. I'm 6'1 and have room for days with the front seats slid slightly forward. Packs up and back to a 5 seater in a few minutes (including deflating the mattress)!

Cruiser outfitters are true freakin experts man

@trailrunnah8886 Год назад

I'm not a Toyota guy, but after spending 2 weeks driving one of these around San Diego recently, I fell in love. I think this is probably the best 4x4 Toyota has ever or will ever make, and the best all-around do it all 4x4 that one can build.

@Gerbyq Год назад

So awesome you're playing around with a Landcruiser dude.

@MisterBatze Год назад

You are so incredible talented! As a mechanic, engineer, host/presenter and in many more categories. Also seeing your work makes me cry in german TÜV.

@eriktaylor7066 Год назад

Ditch the rear seats, build dual full length pull out drawers with sleeping platform on top. Or make one of the drawers shorter and put a drawer fridge accessible from the one of the rear doors for cold beverages.

@nickmudd Год назад

That S10 is sick!

@MuddyBeards4X4 Год назад

@PurpleBeardedBison Год назад

Internal ceiling drawers, pull the rear side windows and make storage drawers in their place, and/or bed floor drawers

@Chad_H Год назад

I've been using Frontrunner Wolfpack boxes for years. We use 3 - one for dry food storage, one for the camp kitchen, one for other misc camp gear (flashlights, TP, etc). We usually through them up on the roof rack to make more space inside, but they fit easily in the cargo area of my 4Runner. I like them because they are weather proof and they are very stable when stacked.

Gday from Australia. Long time viewer. Much respect for the work you do to your vehicles. Really enjoyed the harbour trailer series. Cheers

@jiggyquinn5635 Год назад

Thank you Nate. Regardless of the outcome of the "competition", this has been entertaining, enlightening and informative. Your demeanor, your ability to articulate the process, and the skills to get it done, throw waste to the adage "those who can't...teach". You have demonstrated the ability to do both. Thank you, and good luck in all you do (not just this challenge). 👍👍

@rangefreewords Год назад

I was thinking about the whole solo sleeping in the back thing. I don't know why but, I had a rescue litter come to mind. They typically weight around 30lbs, but you really could setup a sleeping bag and you're done. Possibly mount it to a roof rack or turn it into a cot.

@xBiiO Год назад

Goodness, I would love to have a rig even half as cool as this.

@vetguy2562 Год назад

Okay, 2 seats up front, big drawer "base" (like a sliding shelf) with a shelf that can raise and lower from the interior roof to be a sleeping platform if you need it, not a bunch of extra solar this and that, just a badass multi use minimalist cool wheeling first, road duty second build... You said you wanted ideas 😁👍 Seriously Nate, I dig it as much as I dig his Red Second Gen S10 build

@jeremywolfe5483 Год назад

Not only is your fabrication top notch, your editing is as well I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and regret not being a subscriber sooner!

@sam_s_ Год назад

He subs out the welding and the editing.

@iankovac1878 Год назад

I am hoping to do something similar to my 83 Toyota pickup. 2 inch lift, high steer, and IFS box. Flat bed on it, and chop the front. Hoping for 35-37's with lockers, and gear it for the 22r. Dual cases and gear it to piss for the tires :) Thank You for some inspiration and motivation :)

Aw yeah some wj action

@michaelconnolly7468 Год назад

The Lexus turned out awesome! Good luck in the competition. That offroading shop is in the area I grew up in... small world. I'm in Arvada Colorado now. Just an hour from wheeling above Central City.

@MrBillsfishin Год назад

Awesome that it is done, has been tested, has the bugs worked and most importantly by far... You love it. Awesome build. Hope you have a fantastic time win, lose or draw. Thanks for the great build videos sir.

@hovsepgasamanian4710 Год назад

As an 80 owner, this is friggin awesome. Can’t wait for more wheeling footage

@mynameismontymontana Год назад

I would love to see you rock the same rear drawer setup as the "overlandbound" landy. Sweet pull out kitchen too

@danedwards7597 Год назад

I remove the rear drivers seat when I camp and sleep in the back, tailgate down and tailgate top door closed. It works!

@jalilburdeen8698 Год назад

For the rear you can make tailgate storage. In my 80 I have a full Baltic birch sleeping platform with a big drawer and cubbies where the 2nd row was. All bolted to the factory holes.

@timjohanson588 Год назад

Drawer system for sure Nate. Badass build!

@triot2127 Год назад

I really like that rear bumper.

@jailbreakoverlander Год назад

Factory gets it done Yota wasnt playing with the 80 series.And the beef up on LCAs is spot on.

@monkeysuncle21 Год назад

Your technique of keeping the weld cool reminds me of how the built the gateway arch in St. Louis.

@mohamedalaskar4760 Год назад

Watching these series are more entertaining than Hollywood movies. Thank you for your time and effort.

@stephenmiller6237 Год назад

As an 80 owner (2), tailgate storage is a nice solution to hold some stuff.

@richis65 Год назад

Nate, it was nice meeting you in Montrose this morning at the TA truck stop. The Toyota looks awesome and good luck in the challenge.

@TylerOstergaard Год назад

got to love those passive aggressive rock gardens :P

@searchBLOC941 Год назад

I'd say do a hanging cot or hammock in the back there. That way you've got full access with height on a hammock setup. If you go with a one man cot hanging from your roll bars, you'll have space under and beside it for storage.

@ewc19821 Год назад

Build a platform with drawers and use a foam mat to put on top to sleep on.

@TheTreadLife_ Год назад

The tailgate has a huge compartment in it as well.

@stevepoythress4678 Год назад

Steve Irwin ad FTW!

@tombrown879 Год назад

Cut and install a hatch cover for the tailgate for storage inside. Two good tight nets one front and one rear mounted to the roll cage. and a small drawer system.

@TheEinart Год назад

The new rearbumper looks supernice! and great video as always❤

@witcher71 Год назад

I had a 96 FZJ80. Absolutely loved it. Turd of an engine but was an all-round bitchin rig. Air lockers? Hate em! Always repairing them for buddies.

@sozekeysersoze Год назад

You are awesome! Great Build. Cheers from Denmark🇩🇰

@carvingupthetrails7288 Год назад

I love watching you and your son together. That's the reason I started our channel. To spend time with my son doing things he loves to do and to hopefully encourage more dad's to find time to do things with their kids.

@mattyp4230 Год назад

The lower swivel hub studs/nuts are a known point of concern with big tyres and they stretch the studs pretty easily if they come loose and go unnoticed. As long as they're checked regularely they're fine.

@sirstevo Год назад

Loved the whole 80 series vids. I'm a 100 series owner in Australian, and my cousin in Oregon and I want to go to Moab and I want to do it in your car so bad. hahaha I've even been looking up 80s in Australia so that I can have two 4WDs. 😆

@toddhansen5072 Год назад

Milwaukee Packout is a great choice for cargo organization and storage.

@adman6380 Год назад

I put my compressor over the left rear wheel arch behind that plastic panel then just have the manifold or plug poking through the panel, I run two drawers side by side from the tailgate to behind the rear seats, only about 100mm tall so I can still have the fridge on top and be able to reach and see inside it. You could also make a false panel to continue the floor height from the drawers to the front seat backs to sleep on. I also strung bungee cord like a web up below the headliner in the back so you can store pillows, sleeping bags etc up high on top out of view. There are companies also that sell a kit to make inside the lower tailgate a storage compartment, quite easy to replicate.

@vetguy2562 Год назад

Oh, and the orange with the blue wheels, I'm still jealous how GOOD that works 👍

@carlosiespinozab Год назад

This is the one I'd keep of the 3. Just Gorgeous.

@lory2622 Год назад

Nate, you can rotate that 90 degree bend on the ARB and make it a *little* lower. You just have to loosen the 10mm nut in there with a thin wrench.

@SatansSpatula Год назад

I have an 80-series. I built rear drawers that are the same height as the back edge of the folded 2nd row seats. I can put down a sleeping pad and sleep comfortably, and still have rear seats if I need them. Alternatively, build a height-matched platform for one or both rear seats. Gives you lots of flexibility. The only downside to drawers is if you ever need to transport something heavy. I needed to transport a motorcycle engine and getting it onto the tailgate was hard enough. Getting it the extra ~10 inches onto the drawers was really tough.

@brentonpaterson7047 Год назад

Hope we see the rear bar being made. Looks awesome.

@jareddodge1985 Год назад

I like the Kong bump stops

@jsw21 Год назад

I have a 12v swapped 80 w nv4500 and hardly ever use the rear seats. It’s the best hunt trip base camp. I plan on building a sleeping platform to gain the width lost from wheel wells. Love your build been voting for you.

@Bleda2002 Год назад

@AdventureBraten01 Год назад

Definitely I say make it a solo type build with the drawer system in the back

@thehamptons6844 Год назад

I grew up wrenching on everything I could. I took apart my dad lawn mowers when I was 5 yo just to see how it worked. Spent my teens fixing up GM square body trucks with my grandpa. I have watched every car show you can think of! Most of them I have watched multiple times. I love Dave Chappelle and started watching your channel because of him. You are awesome! You take pride in your work and want to do things right and not just film content! I learn a ton watching you and have always wanted to do metal work but you have inspired me to get a welder. Keep it up my friend!!

@jarrahharrington5712 Год назад

as an aussie just call it an 80 series thats what we call em

@zachariahohlman7046 Год назад

Hey Nate. If you use prevailing torque locknuts and proper washers on all you suspension and steering joints. They will not, absolutely will not come loose. You will never have to retorque them. If for some out this world reason they were to loosen up the slightest bit they will never vibrate loose. I have 40+ grade 8 bolts on my jeep throughout my suspension and Steering and not one has ever come loose and I’ve never retorqued them. And nobody thrashes on their rig as hard as I do. If there’s a week point in anything, I find it lol

@michaelelliott2026 Год назад

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to make and share this. I know you really like driving your 2003 Disco II. Now it seems like you are also really enjoying the older Land Cruiser. Perhaps a good idea for future content would be to compare the two builds? in some ways they are similar, yet in others they are so very different. I would really enjoy hearing your thoughts on the pros and cons of each build.
