- It has been a very long time since i've seen a GCC FZJ75 Land Cruiser and I can't believe that we actually have one in the shop and I had to share this beautiful truck with you!
Toyota if you're watching, please bring the 70 series to the US :-)

It’s true that that six-cylinder engine was no powerhouse, but it was built to run forever. You’ll never win a race, but you’ll always get to the finish line.
So accurately said!!
If you have enough gas.
@@tomquinn607 very true, they were heavy trucks.
While influencers hype the latest 4Runner, The Car Care Nut reminds us of the timeless beauty of a 30-year-old classic. True passion never goes out of style.
Yes because he’s from Iraq so he knows what real quality is.
We (arabs) love it so much many owners wrote poems about it. We even nickname it country by cointry, Saudi Arabia: Shas, Qatar: Hawd, UAE: Capsule. This is your companion, your partner, your only friend in the noble majesty of the desert. The Land Cruiser.
Western side of Libya the call it “thaalab” (the fox), while in the eastern side they call it “pesat” (the carpet).
Capsule = SWB Hardtop
Much thanks to the owner for sharing this amazing vehicle
I love how happy he gets looking at this Land Cruiser!! It makes me happy.
If Toyota brought the 70 series to the US, it would rock the market! Huge waiting lines and $50k markups!
even if it can offroad though, most of the demand for trucks is ability to tow. toyota is not known for being able to tow
The 70 series would put the big 3, out of business a long time ago. The chicken tax is what is, helping the big 3.
In this country it is not known for towing, but in many other countries they tow very well! Plus many are diesel that out tows our rigs!
@@bradhaines3142you are in a third world country
Yep! I wish they would being the 70 series here!
I live in the "GCC" - Kuwait in particular. This exact truck is still in production and you can buy a 2024 model right off toyota right now,. Newer editions do come with some modern-day upgrades and packages such as, "New headunit with AndroidAuto/CarPlay, LED headlights, Automatic transmission, Snorkel, (ABS/EBD/BA/VSC/TRC/HAC, Lane Assist, Cruise Control)"
Fun fact: this truck is known as "شاص - /Shas/" in the Middle East which means a literal "Chassis"
Brother, I too was in GCC- Oman. You're right, new models of this classic car actually exist, just like the classic patrol. I'm grateful to live in GCC. Mashallah!
And in Australia
so cool you can buy these new!! just like the hilux in mexico, beetle, nissan hard body and box Sentra in mexico built new
I'm from the GCC - Oman and this model is still in sale in both pickup "شاص" chassis and full body "ربع" literally means "quarter" SUV configuration, it only got a facelift in 2024 to resemble the "classic" round headlights
Unfortunately, the patrol "Super Safari" will be discontinued after 2024 and this year is the final production year and they already started to jump in value
Can this be bought from GCC and imported to EU
The perfect 2024 Apocalypse truck! 🛻 no fuel injection/ECU! 😃
*Precisely! No EMP worries here.*
I'm from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 and I was surprised to this car in your shop .. I was like.. how did it go there !?? But any how I love your videos. Thank you for posting this. بارك الله فيك
You can tell how much memories this car brought to him. Thank you for sharing.
We are fortunate to have you in the United States sir. Thank you for your enthusiasm and full expertise. BTW new owner of the Tacoma 4x2 Underground. It's basic as far as new Toyota trucks are concerned. It's good for me and I love it.
And BTW..this is an awesome Landcruiser.
AMD, this was great. Thanks to you and the owner for sharing.
I see a lot of my 1979 Toyota 4WD pickup w/ the 20R engine in this Land Cruiser. My dad sold it to me at 120,000 miles. I put 120,000 more miles on it before selling it to my brother who put another 90,000 miles on it when he sold it. I should have bought it back from him. Tough as nails and would haul much more than its stated capacity without flinching.
Looks like the Toyota trucks that were on the road in the late 70's and early 80's to me. Brings back a lot of good memories for me. :)
من اول يوم شفتك قبل سنتين حسيت بيك عراقي
فخر للعراق جنابك وخبرة ما شاء الله عليك
I grew up in Central America with these land cruisers in different models. They were still for sale not too long ago there.
They are indestructible. In New Zealand while mucking around in a river a 70 series got stuck on a large rock and all 4 wheels were not touch the river bed. After a couple of hours it was left. It was sitting in the middle of the river for several weeks. It was checked to make it was still in place. On one check only the top part of the cabin was visible with the river running through it. When finally pulled out it fired in to life while being towed. The seats and seat belts were replace and the wiring was ok.
To be fair fresh water and salt water makes a big difference. I love Toyota, but I'm sure many other cars would have done the same. Years ago at a shop I worked at, one of the customers had bought a "cheap" flood truck (Ram) that had been exposed to salt water. As far as I know it was never fixed because the damage to wiring was so extensive.
WOW 😮. Built like a tank. Hats off
Must ride like a tank too, front and rear leaf springs!
But that thing sure looks practically indestructible!!
This model was often used as a tank.
US Toyota and Datsun pickups in the 70’s still had external bedhooks and the same manual dual latch rear tailgate as shown here.
lot of memories riding shut gun or had to ride in the bed in back yes 1981 Toyota pick up went to a singe center handle
My '80 Chevy LUV Mikado edition had exterior hooks on the bed.Miss that truck.
Hello Sir, I love these Landcruisers. Im from South Africa. We have these models here. The best vehicle. Reliable and indestructible. Great channel and videos filled with knowledge. 👍
There are thousands of these in my country, South Africa ❤👍🏻👍🏻🙋🏼♂️😁😁
All of my vehicles are this basic and from this era of simplicity. I love it.
Growing up, 50s American car design was a classic novelty. Now in 2024, that 80s/90s aesthetic is a classic beautiful novelty
Why cant we have a basic beautiful truck like this? I’m sick of the excessively fancy vehicles that you would never take off road
Saw a 3 door 70 series once and fell in love. I didn't know what it was back then, but later found out these are not for sale in US. Such a pity
They still make the 3 door 70 Series. It is what I call the Really Real Land Cruiser.
I drove a 1968 Land Cruiser back in high school in 1975, it had a three speed manual transmission on the column. I immediately fell in love with a manual transmission over an automatic transmission.
I live down under, I am wondering if yours had a 3.7 rear end unlike the later 4.1 standard diff, without full floating rear axles unlike the late models, I alway think of it as having a 4 main bearing copy of the Chevrolet 6, with a copy of the 3 speed box without any synchro on first.
Beautiful Landcruiser. I am in Canada and years ago I had a regular cab, long box Toyota pickup with a 2.4 diesel engine, it was very basic just like the the one in your video
Oh, man, those pivoting triangular windows on front doors are such a cool thing. My Bronco had them, and they were a lifesaver, since the car didn’t have AC. My dad’s older cars also had them.
Wind wings.
In Australia we called them Quarter glass windows. Almost every farm and cattle/sheep station had these Toyota's. Used by tradies as well even today. Greatest Work Horse as we called them I've ever owned. Bushyboy Oz.
These trucks are found pretty much everywhere, but North America. They are still common to find in Latin America, Middle East, Africa and of course Australia. You can even find 2024s and don't look very different from this one. They also had some other chassis variations available in short and longer versions. Same with parts, you can find them everywhere except North America.
My 1983 2wd Toyota Truck long bed had the exterior bed hooks. It also had an 8 foot bed. I still miss that little old truck.
The whole wide world misses compact Toyota pickups with 8 foot beds like yours or the T100.
true compact mini pickups ....single cab manual crank windows , can reach over and unlock the door drove a 78 long bed automatic fun truck
I wish we could go back to the old days like these! I would sport this in a heartbeat over anything being offered now.
and the 1970-80s Toyota Trucks had sounds my fav when you slide the h vac control and the heat door made the ump sound , turn signal flasher sound trucks where basic utilitarian manual crank windows extra cab is back in the Tacoma 6' box
I absolutely love these things, they are unkillable. The moment I saw the front end, I noticed the Saudi national emblem on the grille. Depending on what country you're in, they all had local names for it; in Saudi they were called the "Shaas" from the word for chassis. In Kuwait, they were called "Abu Shanab", with Shanab being Arabic for mustache, because the early variants had a front bumper that supposedly resembled one. Good times, great trucks. For the first time ever, the newest generation is offered with an automatic transmission, which deviates from it's long standing tradition of having a stick shift only. Thank you for putting this video together!
This LC is gorgeous! I love my HE 200 Series but this thing is a dream rig, a true work of art. I will go cry my american tears now 😭
Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone. That phrase does not apply as we lament 😥😥our lack of access to these REAL Land Cruisers.
You have the last of bullet proof LC with modern luxury
That truck is an absolute gem!
I own a similar model like this one but a diesel engine (1hz straight 6 engine) and it never lets me down. It's a 20 year old vehicle but still going strong. A very reliable vehicle, that simple and easy to maintain. Greetings from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬
I love cars like that. Simple is better
that front axle setup with those massive spherical hubs it's legendary. really cool truck
Ahmed. This is the coolest truck I've seen on your channel so far. This is what Toyota needs to bring to the U.S. For those of us who don't want all the high tech bells and whistles that can fail. Also a recession proof truck, that'll give u years of low maintenance, trouble free use.
I had an FZJ71 when I was younger, 2 door with the 4.5l, it was a blast to drive on and off road.
Yes! Do more Land Cruiser stuff! I just bought a 2006 LX 470 last July after searching for the perfect one for THREE years. I love it! We’ve been taking it 4wd drive trails in West Virginia and so far it’s handled everything really well. My plan is to take it out west for a 2-3 month adventure in a few years and I’m trying to learn everything I can about them beforehand.
It reminds me of an 80's Datsun pickup truck from the back.
Quality and simplicity over marketing gimmicks - love it. That’s why I’m still driving my 1983 Toyota pickup, which has the same two handle tailgate.
We here in South Africa, have millions of these here. Love it
The Best ✨
It’s always amazed me how a once defeated country, took some of our best products, and has made them so much better.
Those are every where down here in Costa Rica 🇨🇷 and i WANT ONE REAL BAD
I wish they would make these for us in the states again..We had pickups like this back in the 70's and 80's to haul campers, firewood, 4 wheelers, elk and deer during hunting season in Montana.. The old 4X4 chevy's were bullet proof that we used to haul fuel and tools to our logging jobs in the mountains of western Montana..We have lost utilitarian for style unfortunately..Simple, easy to fix and practical..
Amd, the smile on your face and your giddiness just cracks me up!!!
The 70 series body has been in production for at least 40 years now. That's the Land Cruiser in developing coutries. Very capable rig.
That's piece of art and history now, What a beatiful thing:)
Everything you need and nothing you don't...Beautiful
In Kenya these are everywhere,. theyre so good you will get them brand new off toyota unlike most toyotas on kenyan roads.
I noticed the fan speeds are highlighted as a/c. Theres no button to turn it on and off. Just always on. Nice. Sick truck
In Venezuela, leaded gasoline was used until 1999, so locally assembled J80s and J70 had carburated 1FZ engines, then fuel injection was used form 2000 and onwards.
I love the utilitarian beauty of this reliable noble workhorse.
I wish the US allowed the diesel HiLux in to the country!
yea I really was bummed when Toyota did away with the ventilator mini windows.... they were great ! what a great truck thanks for sharing
Wow, love those
I'm here in Kuwait and we drive them, would love to bring one back to the states with me.
Thank you, AMD. What a beautiful truck!
Military in Pakistan has been using these along with 3 door versions with soft top . most rugged vehicles they are. powerful and indestructible as well
Your from pakistan?
Beutiful machine...thx to the owner for maintaining this ...
Thank you AMD.
These old brutes are as reliable as "John Wayne's" boots, as they say. They love to work.
I have owned a carbureted "86 FJ62 series "high roof" S wagon for 26 years now, same chassis and suspension, different body, that's done over 700k km it still runs like new, no oil use ,the thing will outlive me. Yup, it seeps oil all over the place (anti rust system! Lol) but I know how to use an oil bottle and grease gun and the right hole to stick it in, so no problem. Just change in time and grease it and you're good to go. It's done many long trips fully loaded into the outback, never let me down.
I worked for a company that built 79 and 76's into armored vehicles for the military and special forces. They were very basic but built like a land cruiser. They were tough as nails and would never break down. The only downside is they had no power, but they would crawl up a mountain with ease.
This is the truck that truck people want, but they will not give it to us.
My 1st vehicle was a '79 Toyota pickup. I believe it was the first yr Toyota 4x4 pickups in the US. It had the external hooks on the bed as well as the dual slide latch locking system. Good simple design.
I really enjoy your channel. Always great content. 👍
I have a 2003 Toyota hilux in south america, last year made in Japan, and it still has the hooks and latches on the bed. My friend's Hilux, 2012, has the internal latches on the gate, and he has had replace the internal springs that rusted out.
The 60’s FJ45’s and Stouts had the bed hooks
Thank you for showing this car. I have same year Land Cruiser 70, short version with coils and 3.0 turbo diesel. Super simple but so fun to drive.
Seen those land cruisers while on deployment in syria THEY ARE A BEAUTY!
تحياتي يالعراقي
اخوك من الموصل و عايش بمشكان
Triangle windows for the win!!! Wish they made something similar now.
Grandma wrapping her sofa in plastic has nothing on this guy. He covered the entire interior with a quilted blanket (including the shifters!)😂
Absolutely love the 70 series! My dad bought one for my grandpa brand new just like this one but white. Fzj75 LX trim from 1997.
Love that truck to bits, air conditioning was good, suspension was very stiff, fairly quick.. faster than the Hilux at least and in my country instead of the protection for the rear window they had a factory roll bar bolted to the bed. Such a cool truck, I miss it dearly.
Nostalgic. My father is from Trinidad and had a 85' Toyota SR5 DOWNEY edition. Lifted. Roll bar. KC lights. Warn winch. Steel brush guard. Had it shipped to Florida when he immigrated to US. Then shipped to Germany where he was stationed in Army. Then had it shipped back to US. Grew up with that truck. Learned how to drive manual in it. The dash, AC, clock, door panels and handles, corner windows, sliding back window, tailgate and so on are all exactly the same as this LC. The engine gave out in my early teens and it just sat and rotted in the yard for years. He had promised I could have it eventually but he wound up selling it to someone who knocked on his door offering to buy it. Shame he let it go (for next to nothing I might add) considering how awesome it was and how sought after they are now. Would have loved restoring the thing.
That bar behind the cabin is a Roll/Crash bar. If the truck rolls over, which many of these 4 wheel drive ones that are high off the ground, do if not driven carefully. A roll over would crush the passenger cabin flat and kill the occupants, the crash bar would prevent that and basically protect the heads of the occupants from being flattened. The Windshield and frame above it would be crushed in a roll over.
OH damn---i was hoping to see a gun turret in the truck bed under the camo! LOl
Beautiful my man so great to see an American man with real taste. So many memories from my past too
My dad owned a 1960’s Toyota Land Cruiser Tan in color with a straight 6.
In Panama we also had the bed hooks and the metal bar behind the back window. Not just on the Land Cruiser pick ups, but also on the Hilux models.
70 series has been available in my country since 1984 my dad had a hzj75 pick up to he used to tow his boat with it thru soft sand on fishing trips and that 6 cyl diesel would purr thru the sand
Gorgeous. If only they could/would make dependable simplicity again. My first vehicle was a '66 Ford F100, gas tank behind the seat so you could hear fuel slosh in case the gauge failed.
Thank you for the walk around, the mirrors look like the ones on my FJ62. We are blessed you decided to live here in the States.
I'm from Venezuela, down there Toyota sold The FZJ-71 until 2009, that model has the last version of the 1FZFE better than the one in the 80series, about 30hp more and better torque curve, comes with front coil suspension similar to the 80 series, electric windows, central locks, abs, airbags and more little improvements here and there, that's the peak of the 70 series. After that they went V6 and aren't the same anymore.
Oh man, I love that thing....I have a 1997 Land Cruiser that is stout, but this one just looks awesome.
My Dad's 83 Toyota pickup had those hooks on the outside of the bed
I really miss the days that manufacturers built trucks for a purpose. And that purpose didn't include driving to the mall in comfort...
In terms of modern day basic'ness, Toyota introduced recently a modern mini truck for the Asian markets, the Hilux Champ modular chassis cab.
In Australia this model also came out with 4.2l turbo diesel inline 6. Then later with a 4.5l V8 turbo diesel.
Id think many of us would Love to see these things come to the US. market.
Eid Mubarak brother ❤
*Kind thought but Ahmed is Chaldean, Kurd or born-again Christian. The elliptical fish symbol is the clue...*
I'm South African, and these were, and still are, the farmer's best tool. Even the latest version of these are still very basic. Only difference is ours are almost exclusively diesel powered. There is a gas powered V6 model, but it is extremely heavy on fuel. You still see these vehicles on the road every day and are extremely popular with the off-road crowd. They're just as popular in Australia.
I ❤ them because they're basically almost unbreakable. In the Middle East, they're used for warfare and troop transport through inhospitable deserts. Those boys even mount cannons on them😅
Thanks for showing us, and I definitely share your enthusiasm with it😁👍🏻🙋🏼♂️👍🏻👍🏻
I have a picture when we were driving from Riyadh to Bahrain, of this truck with a man in the bed holding a young camel! Everyone loves camels until one spits in your face!! We saw herds of wild camels on our drive, too! 🐪
I love Toyota 💯💯💯💪🏿
Toyota Camry 1997 model had one of the best engine so far❤
You mean lexus LS400
I’ve had two modern HZ79s in Nicaragua and there really is no other vehicle that can replace this truck. In the US, I’ve become a 4Runner guy. Hope to own another in the 4.2L diesel, but I’m happy the new generations will still have the naturally aspirated V8. Promising that all of their trucks will not drop down to the 2.x turbocharged engines of today.
I am from South Africa and at the beginning of the year I bought what must have been the cheapest running and driving 75 Series pick up. What surprises me is what parts are still available from the Toyota Dealerships. Things like metal brake lines, bumpers, front grill, steel wheels and lock rings to name a few items I’ve enquirer about.
This is the Land Cruiser that people wanted, no the fancy US version.
IDK what Land Cruisers had then . But the 82 Hilux pick-up I bought new in 82 had those same tie down hooks .
I had a 1999 Land cruiser and it was rock solid even with 250K miles.. with locking diffs it would go anywhere. Hated that 12mph though.
This type of land cruiser is very common in Ghana West Africa. it is very strong reliable and durable.
Is there another Ghana located somewhere else? 😉😉
@@rightlanehog3151 No
Impressive. Land Bruiser might be a better name.
Best and most beautiful car I ever seen! Thanks!
Still driving my 1986 Toyota 4x4 and 1991 Suzuki Samurai. Simple is beautiful.
In Australia, We have thousands of 75 series landcruiser, The FZJ75 with the 1FZ-FE .4.5L Petrol and the HJ75 with the 1HZ 4.2L diesel and the 2H 4L motor.
Im currently in Colombia and this is LC territory. They are everywhere, these 4.5 are called CareVacas [Cow Face] idk why. Lovely machines.
I was recently in Kenya on a missions trip and got to ride in a 70 series LC on Safari and I loved ever minute of it!
