I am getting a 2001 75 series soon and i just want to know how capable they are off road i have heard good things about them but how do they compare to something like a pajero or prado off road are they more or less capable than the more common 4wds
Hi can tell what the air filter is please .
Last of the the REAL AUSSIE ICONIC Beasts. Got a 1991 and I’ve had numerous offers from random people. I’ll be using it as my coffin
How many ks and what did they offer

I agree 100% with you on the older dash looking better
Wow !! Genuinely refreshing to see a LC 70 series build that doesn't include 150k of stuff you don't need.
You have a good looking and capable truck. Well done.
I'd put a Hy-Way sun visor on it but that's just me. Great vehicle. No testosterone and no cops. Nice :-)
Love your snorkel set up....
I want one for my 79 series now mate.
Great content brother!
HZJ75 is my ute. Bit rusty and needs a few panels replaced, but its a reliable bus and it goes hard.
Good review, cheers mate!
This was perfect, I'm looking to buy a landcruiser so I'm doing all my research on what I think is best for me
What crusiers are you considering 🤔
I cant make my mide up 😬
Love that long tube Donaldson snorkel prefilter
Heyyy!thats was a tub tray...much cooler than ute tray...looks handsome!just few in ausy and rare!
i brought a 1992 75 series ute two years ago for 20 k 1hz garret turbo rust free exzample ...since then ive added safarie snorkle oil catch can 9 ich led driving lights .42 inch light bar...3 inch exhaust straight thru ..front auto lockka..new 33 inch nitto trail grapplers with new beed lock rims .after markert seats ...egt and boost pillar pods from sass....roof rack ...blue bugg deflector...on bonnet ...running tripple batteries ....200 wat solar panel...full canopy has 140 litre long range fuel tank and 90 litre up front...side awning with roof top tent also added underneath tool boxes 80 litre fringe eva cool...with x bull 14000 pound winch and full recovery kit ......havent had a chance to enjoy the 75 series yet since corana thing.....my only issues with the ute is cabin space is short being 6 1 in height .....but over all they are a very reliable ute and easy to fix or customise to your own needs cant wait to try it out on the trails .....i also own a gxl 60 series landcruiser whitch i have had for sixteen years
Awesome setup, you'll be able to go anywhere and camp as long as you want with that amount of gear👌
@@Buildin70s yes should awesome thanks bloke.... looking forward to some epic tracks vic high country and the cape ..WA...SA....currently living in the bush...central goldfeilds area VIC
Good to see someone who still thinks leaf springs are still OK. Great trucks the 75s. Was my dream to find the hj47 ute change over Mdl old shape with the all the 75 benefits chassis power str aircon 5speed. Love the truck mate.
Yep... I also love leaf springs! There's nothing tougher!
Nice video mate. I have just bought (about 1 week ago) a 1989 75 series Ute. Good old 2H motor (turbocharged) and myself being an ex Toyota mechanic and having my own workshop, this thing is one of the simplest cars I have ever owned.
You are right when it comes to the steering having play, you do get used to it and eventually it’s just something you automatically compensate for.
Nice review mate 👍
Mine is an alloy tray 1988 HJ75 ute with a 1HT engine from a '91Sahara. The mileage is over 750,000ks between the two engines. The old 2H did over 550ks and the 1HT has done over 250ks in my car and 300ks in it's previous wagon. I did an extensive rebuild on the engine. Other than that it is pretty stock standard 5 speed manual with a lower first gear and longer leap to third. Oh and a bigger clutch! I used to always be towing the big horse float so the lower first was what I needed. Now it will tow some sort of caravan so still good to have that lower first gear.
It has had a rebuild for each 15th year birthday, so having had one only a few years ago, it is in excellent condition. No rust or bog anywhere. It does have a fiberglass turret now but made so I can walk on it if needed. I will put a solar panel up there I think.
I like just the plain interior. Nothing to beep at me. It has aircon and a radio with cassette and tint on the windows. No need for anything else. Although I guess I will have to get some sort of 2way radio for remote travel. I still even have the original seats. I hate the more modern wrap around seats. They give me a sore back and hips.
Fuel could be better as it gets just 7.5ks per litre of diesel (sorry I can't compute litres per 100ks but I think it is 13ks per 100lt) whether towing or not. With it having the turbo, I keep being told to get it tuned but I'm a bit concerned about revving it out to blast speed. I doubt I've ever revved it higher than 3200!
I was toying with buying a new one this year but all that beeping at me turns me right off every time. I've had it since near new and it's not for sale! 😅
But I wouldn't mind getting some better sound and heat deadening for it for the long trips. I like listening to the engine but I think better to not have too much noise on long days behind the wheel. I will do some suspension mods for towing the van and the bad dirt roads in WA. But it might be a year or two before I even get out of Qld other than maybe doing a trip to Tassie.
Cheers for the great video mate I'm only 15 and love your videos and Utes I really want a 75 there such a cool ute and I would like more of your opinion on the front leaf springs👍🏼
I've owned a driven both 75s and 79s and will say the leaf fronts are noticable if not setup right.
The extra cab space in the 79 is pretty huge for me being 6"5'
Great video mate
great video, thanks mate
What a video! Love it mate
Glad you enjoyed it!
Respect from Papua New Guinea 💯🇵🇬
I love 75series,it's my car for real
wheel alignment on these is a doddle to do yourself . our old local mechanic showed me how to do it on mine many many years ago .
Great vid! Do one like this on the 79 1hz’s or di-turbo 👍🏼
Once ive been driving it for a few months ill definitely do one on the 79
Hey mate love your cruisers I had a 75 years ago and i'm 195cm as well. I put a bit of inch and a half square tube between the seat and the slide rail lifted me up and gave me more leg room made it heaps better . ive done the same thing in my 79 dual cab to move the seat back 80mm but only used 1 inch hope this helps.
Something i might have to do, cheers mate
We do the same in the Landrovers makes a big difference
Love it mate
Diggin the vids man. Keep up the good work. Quick ? for ya: Does the windshield fold down? If so, top come off too? Looks like the snorkel might play a role in all that, but the fj I’m looking at doesn’t have one....yet.
Cheers mate! the front windshield doesn't fold down but it can be unbolted same as the roof and back windscreen, You would only do that if you want to fix them
My daily is a 75 series troopy.
always gets me where i need to go and get around 12L/100km.
And agreed with the easy to get parts
Tom Hodgins 2h 12ht or 1hz
@@regwarren4wd943 1990 1hz first of the breed
Still with rear drum brakes :)
So a handbrake that works
Same. 1995 HZJ75RV-MNQ bought brand new with 1km on the clock when I drove it off the dealer's lot. Kept it mechanically stock. Added high powered driving lights, recently added extra lightbars, additional cabin lighting (map lights, overhead caravan grade white LED lighting), a plethora of USB charging ports, UHF CB, 4GX antenna for Telstra mobile broadband/phone service, 1500W pure sinewave inverter, dual battery system.
Just had the 500,000km service done. She's just about run in, I reckon. Getting 11.8L/100km in terms of fuel consumption. Doesn't blow smoke, cranks over once and fires up immediately. Still original transmission, clutch, radiator, (water pump changed as a pre-emptive measure at 400,000km). Rear RHS barn door hinges are a bit tired (door sags ever so slightly). Paint job still in near perfect nick. Went for the mining spec rust proofing pack when I bought the vehicle (even though it's a private vehicle). Not a spot of rust anywhere underneath or on the body.
Even had random people coming up to me offering me $30k cash on the spot for it. No way I'm parting ways with this baby.
$24k a bit of work and you’ve got a great 4x4, awesome 🇦🇺
I wanna get an 80 series but they’ve become more expensive lately so I’m coming here to see what the 75 offers
I've got a 75 that is actually pretty rare because it's got factory diff lock and almost no rust and I got it with a fully custom tray that looks amazing problem is it's got a lot of electric problems that I am trying to fix, like indicators and tail lights and somehow it's missing the ecu-b fuse and ecd fuse but it still starts and runs fine
I own a 1987 BJ75 Troopy over here in the USA, but even still it's easy as hell to find most parts for it.
donkey ass reviews and do's hahaha
Love your vids mate. How does she compare to the 79? I'm tossing up whether to go the 75 or a 79. Biggest thing that puts me off a 79 is could and springs, I like the idea of the same type of suspension all round. But the little extra can room of the 79 is very attractive. Ahhhh decisions decisions
Go the 79 series mate....you will not regret it!
Hey there, I’m in Paraguay and looking at a 1988 troopy with a 3B engine. Any recommendations on what chronic problems to look out for before buying?
Nice build mate. I'll stick with my supercofortableness though I think 😉
😂😂
Can the 75's be straight piped or do they need the backpressure?
Where do you get your flares from mate?
What's suspension kit to use on a 99 75?
Hi there I'm almost 18 and want to get one for my first car, I'm 6' 2", would you go for a 75 or a 79 (the 6cyl not the v8)? As the 75 is more cost effective but the 79 has more features so I cant decide and want a more experienced persons opinion, I dont mind investing the extra money for a 79 but as long as its worth it
Great review and thanks for sharing. I'm your opinion which is the better buy between this and the 79?
Well I would go the early 79 (2000 to 2006) bigger cab and front suspension has been redone for the better.
And normally, not much of a price difference surprisingly.
What size Shackles are you running????
hey mate whered you get your flares from?
Where’d you get this tub 😮
wher do u buy genuine parts of a 75 series
i want to buy a genuine turbo kit for my 75 series
Great vid. Where are the usual rust problems for these? Cheers
Usually around the footwells, roof and wheel arches but saying that it can come up anywhere
2:05 in. How do you mean by the 12 to 15 literage.? I get 10km to the ltr with light (no) load and 9 km to the ltr loaded. (8km/ltr with heavy trailer). Stock standard.
12 to 15 liters per 100km
Why does some 75s have 1hz and others have the 2h. Which is better
replacing the windscreen member and the hinges
on the 75
Manual window winder..can’t beat it👍
You got that right!
Great post.
Are you still selling the cup holders?
Cheers mate, yeah we still have them for sale on buildin70s .com.au
@@Buildin70s I just jumped on. I'll pick something up in a couple of days.
Hey mate how much is too much k’s is too much on a car like because I’m looking at a car that’s gone 380k’s I’m just a bit iffy about getting it
Yeah same here, would usually want lower kms but being an older car too hard to find but I always hear they go forever. I’ve seen on market place with upwards of 600,000km so they must be pretty tough
Mate if she’s got a 1hz or 2H don’t worry about Kilometres she’s run over 1mllion if you keep the oil changes up
This is Bonefide 4x4; not a "Luxury lifestyle SUV" 😊👍👍
How many ks is too many on one of these?
Never too many k's! Depends on the body mostly. Mine has a 1Ht engine = 2H with turbo and I've done 250k on that one after doing 500k with the old 2H engine. Keeping the body in good condition is what counts more than anything.
Lol, not sure whether the fact they've haven't changed they're styling is a good thing or not. The brand new 70's sell for well over 70k for the same look and extremely basic interior modcons. Albeit a good motor. Makes you wonder what you pay for. Yota Is enjoying a healthy profit margin over this 79 series boom
in my country a 1985 is worth 18 thousand USA dollars...💔
Those old rigs are far better than the App Layden modern junk that gives an 'Error' messages as soon as you get in.
The first thing to do is to get rid of the idiotic snorkel. It serves no purpose.....or do you think your Cruiser can double as a submarine?
😂😂 each to their own
piet van der Westhuyzen bruh chill out
No need to be grumpy just cause you see something you don't like. Happy days ;-)
Who hurt you 😂
Actually, Yes I do.
Nice review mate 👍
