Time for hydro assist!
This 80 series Land Cruiser needs more mods!
Last week we did the competition, but those videos will be on the ONX RU-vid channel. This week I want to work my way through some more details and test them on the trail.
I want a sleeping platform, a roof rack and build out a homemade hydro assist steering system.
Enjoy the video!

@brianehly1954 10 месяцев назад

Go to Harbor Freight, pick up the double garage door screen, each panel is about 8' X 8', it has magnets on 1 edge (middle), use it to screen the back of your rig so you can leave hatch and back windows open at night, cut other panel to cover door windows. Bug free fresh air sleeping.

@billtimmer2462 10 месяцев назад

I have to admit I started watching this series because I love land cruisers, but I stayed because I have learned something useful in every video so far. I can't believe I never thought to strap my spare tire upright in the back like that!

@natecherful 10 месяцев назад

100% this got my attention for the same reason.

@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports 10 месяцев назад

@mattk6222 10 месяцев назад

Every build you do seems to be my favorite but this one is definitely above and beyond. Thanks for sharing all the amazing things you build

@DirtLifestyle 10 месяцев назад

Thanks man! I'm glad you appreciated this 80 as much as I do. Such a cool platform to work with

@natecherful 10 месяцев назад

Love it! This build rocks

@Dimitron20 10 месяцев назад

Take the reservoir apart (It is serviceable so it does come apart) and gut the OEM filter inside of it and just run the separate inline filter that you have already. that should give you a bit more capacity and flow with less restriction.

@DirtLifestyle 10 месяцев назад

Dude, great suggestion! I didn't know these had an internal filter, so I appreciate the info 🙌

@leeroygalea592 10 месяцев назад

More like a gauze plate..

@robnobrc 10 месяцев назад

Looking forward the Onyx videos coming up Nate! You asked so my opinion on the back setup would be to swap the spare & bed to the opposing sides. Reason being is better visibility with the tire directly behind you as opposed to Looking over /around it. Looks like a very capable rig capable though!👍👍

@paulcleary8137 10 месяцев назад

You could cut the reservoir in half, weld in some exhaust pipe to make it taller for more volume. I've done it on a few FJ60 power steering reservoirs.

Nate on my full size bronco I used some reflective insulation roll to create privacy curtains for sleeping in the back. I used some clear Velcro adhesive circles to attach it and all the curtains roll up snugly for storage.

I camp out of the back of Rovers now days. It's the only way I camp. Doesn't matter what the weather is like. I love it.

@beadblaster9508 10 месяцев назад

I think I would put a barrier behind the front seats to stop all the stuff from coming forward into the area where the driver is in a rollover. There are nylon webbing that would work well. The sleeping platform looks good but a simpler sleeping arrangement would simply be a exped mega mat self inflating mattress. These mattresses are awesome and inflate to 4”. You can get their small pump to inflate it to the hardness you want. Awesome build.

It was so cool seeing this in person (on the road at least) passed you just outside Norwood Co. on my way to the Rim Rocker trail back to Moab

@GrizzlyPath 10 месяцев назад

One thing that would be cool for you to showcase is bolting the camp-build down into the vehicle. Always something I do that seems to get overlooked a lot, but would probably be a great idea in a legit rock crawler too.

@julman4146 10 месяцев назад

@GruesomeJeans 9 месяцев назад

It's so cool seeing a youtuber messing around on washington trails. While I've never been to Evans Creek, my older brother used to go out there to mess around in his 84 Bronco. I wonder if you guys ever ran into each other out there. 04 would be kind of close to when he was out there. He also used to go do the mud drags, my favorite picture was him up against a lifted cadillac. I had a 78 bronco that ended up leaving my possession due a bad trade deal but I dreamed of taking to a place live Evans and just cruising around.

@jessedavis4699 10 месяцев назад

Another great build Nate. I am a hardcore Jeep guy who would never even think about a different vehicle but after seeing how this has turned out I’m thinking I could build me one of these. lol. Thanks again for another great video.

@DirtLifestyle 10 месяцев назад

Awesome man! Trust me, I can relate. I love Jeeps! But there are alot of other great rigs out there. The 80 series is definitely one of them 👍

Kartek makes an aftermarket finned reservoir with filter attachment and is pressure relief valve ready that have seen a few guys use in some Toyota SUV’s with the “busier” engine compartments.

@jacksonlogan5575 10 месяцев назад

Little tip that might be useful, I have a very very similar setup in my 100 series and I get into bed from the drivers seat, can take my boots off leave them on the drivers floor and then climb through easier and don’t have to close the rear door, then in morning can climb into drivers seat put boots on and step out, no mess, no shoes on bed, all easy

How about a flip out platform on the tailgate and a "tent" around the flipped up glass...that would give you another 2' of sleeping platform.

@ChuckUnderFire 10 месяцев назад

I can never decide whether doing an indoor/outdoor carpet or just vinyl flooring would be best for my off-road setup. With as much mud as we have in the southeast, being able to wipe it clean (even in the middle of a trip) comes in super handy.

Vinyl would be a good call 🤘

Get some pool noodles as the summer ends, cut and attach them to the seat belt bar to make it more plush to put your feet on or against.

@drewp503 10 месяцев назад

use exhaust pipe to increase the size of the reservoir...cut and stretch the factory reservoir works great

@reddcocker64 10 месяцев назад

That is a great looking truck and it looks really capable.

@xozindustries7451 10 месяцев назад

That’ll be good, add an air mattress and some bins under the bed and you’ll be good. I’d put the tire in the rear bumper for extra interior room

I did a sleeping platform in my 80 and camped 4 seasons in it with the family probably 30 nights per year until the kiddo got too big to share the back with us. Took the scouts winter camping on Rainier up at Paradise- they slept in snow caves, I slept in the Cruiser 😂. Best overland rig I ever owned.

@mikehjelseth4651 10 месяцев назад

Great build, and looking forward to seeing where you take it from here. Was hoping that you were going to either go up or down the rocky section of 519.

@DirtLifestyle 10 месяцев назад

Is that where the rocks are? I couldn't remember where anything was out there. I wasn't even sure what trails we were on, lol. First time back at Evans in years...

@mikehjelseth4651 10 месяцев назад

Yeah, 519 has a "waterfall" of sorts that flexes rigs out pretty good. Probably, the hardest obstacle at Evans. Up or down is fun. Took a guy from SoCal up there a few weeks in a nicely equipped JKUR on 37s. He said he liked rocks, it freaked him out a bit to start, but he was pumped after he ran through it.

@fckyoutube2852 10 месяцев назад

@PaintGuy 10 месяцев назад

I agree with you on sleeping in the vehicle. I set up all of my rigs so I can do this (accept for my 2 door/short wheelbase rigs). It’s especially nice on those windy desert nights!

@ZuluComander 10 месяцев назад

Glad to hear you get to keep this rig in the end, was afraid all teams would be forced to give the vehicles to OnX or something. Been watching you since the bleepinjeep days building low buck diesel truck series and remember you talking about wanting to do a Landcruiser build when you started the Disco build and now it's great to see you finally have it and it's yours.

@marlene1453 10 месяцев назад

It would cost OnX way to much money to keep all the vehicles. Shipping, storage, then add in the maintenance for customized rigs. Liability issues more than likely would keep them from selling the trucks to recup extra cash. If anything there could be a one year contract clause allowing OnX to retain the vehicle for shows, promotions and advertisements.

@livfreelee 10 месяцев назад

Perfect timing. I was just looking at my 79 F-150 lifted Supercab longbed 4x4, with BBF 460 with 34's that needs more assist than the power-steering pump and gearbox it has. I was looking at the tie-rod shock absorber and wondering how to install a ram there to lessen the stresses on the pitman arm and single shear linkage. Perfect! thank you. PS, its not a rock crawler but more a over-lander camper with a rear hitch mounted motorcycle carrier.

@DirtLifestyle 10 месяцев назад

Nice! That should be pretty straightforward to get setup with a ram 👍

@WilliamVerdoorn 10 месяцев назад

I like how you build a plywood platform to sleep on and store things under. More like something an average person could build in the back in their car without spending a ton on a roof too tent or fancy organization drawer system but still cool.

@dcast777 10 месяцев назад

Love the classic LC ads, what a trip. Who's take a boat that size down a dirt road? Lmao.

@inzane5410 10 месяцев назад

Put a pool noodle around the seatbelt bar and wrap it with a cloth and velcro wrap. Then you could prop your feet up on the bar.

@scottgephart9749 10 месяцев назад

Nate, consider getting some kind of a 1/2 tent to attach/hang off the back. That way, you will have some privacy/space to change clothes while standing up. If not that, at least get some kind of screen or net to go over the back. Otherwise, you're going to get eaten alive by bugs at night.

Hello from the coast right outside of Galveston, Texas. At 55y/o with my bilateral bad knee's and lumbar back issues. No way I could climb up into that bed to lay down without waking up the whole forest..lol Do luv your Lexus build. Way to go. Iv'e really enjoyed all the videos. I was thinking. You should construct a removable, maybe 3/16" plate, metal hinged folding step that you could hook onto the drivers side rock slider when in camp, so that you can crawl into that drivers side back door to lay down. Would be a lot easier then going in from the cargo hatch, spinning around and then laying down.

Man I just got “done“ with a three weekend long header back exhaust build on my ‘91 80 series. What a slog it was. Got metal in my eye that sent me to the eye Dr for removal, and smashed the hell out of my right thumb. Also crawling under a car a few hundred times with out a lift is not as comfortable as it was when I was 20. It’s a bit loud, have a different muffler showing up, but it’s finally done 😅. Now I just have to replace the header gasket again after I destroyed it, and do the hundreds of other things this old girl needs 😂 happy to see you enjoying your Cruiser. Can’t wait till mine is more functional.

Love your channel Nate. Something to consider on the next build like this - put the spare tire behind the driver, not passenger. It’ll keep it out of your line of sight when looking over your right shoulder.
