I bought a 200,000 mile land cruiser to get my son through high school. He drove it all the way through college graduation and sold it after 9 years with 280,000 miles for more than paid for it. No major repairs, replaced a starter, brake pads and tires. Was a great truck.
Any Landcruiser is better than any Audi. You're better off in an old FJ40 than in some abandon-ware, glorified VW. A company by the way, that is always up to something.
I feel like they are cars for a different purpose. The audi is for extracting money from the customer via finance/loans, and the land cruiser is for someone who wants to buy and keep a vehicle. The audi was quieter and plush, but not as luxurious as a range rover. Anyway the land cruiser is the one for me.
I did the front diff mount like you're discussing. Air chisel and swearing and it's really not the worse thing ever. getting the new one in took longer as I couldn't get it to go in completely. Eventually I put a jack under it and lifted the front wheels off the ground then jumped up and down on the front bumper until it dropped in correctly. I'm still convinced that was easier than replacing the entire front cover.
I've done them all now. I did the chisel for one, the press for another, and bought the arm for the third 😂 it's a bit if a mission. I'll put up a video with some tips for others like what you just said with the jack
To get one of the best Toyota vehicles to replace a Q7 and considering the price differential is fantastic. Even considering it’s 10 or 12 years older, it will undoubtedly well outlast the Audi. You’ll never have the same depth of feeling for an Audi.
You're right. There's just no love for the Q7. I like that there is a bit of theatre about driving the Land Cruiser. I've had a lot of people asking me questions in carparks etc. Strangers love a landcrusher.
I have and Audi myself a Coupe version and thinking of getting Land Cruiser as a next car. So many positive feedbacks from Toyota users its just unreal.
Wait a minute mate, are you posting the same content every 3 months as if it’s new? I could be wrong but I think I’ve seen this more than 3 times before, including where the LC is smoking when running? No mate new content please.
I'm afraid not. He's a Baker and I'm a computer guy 😂 we do this for "fun". It's become very very hard to find a mechanic I trust, so we do a lot of it personally whenever we have free time
@@landcruiserscotland dont i no it just got fleeced for £440 i have a mitsibushi pajero also 2.8td did u do ur prop shaft bearings my amazon makes a clunking sound thud type
If its a thud while changing gear it's likely the diff bushes. You get pretty bad vibrations when the propshaft is worn out though. Mine was shaking the whole car at 40mph+

Wow that worked out to be a good investment! What state are you in?

You can go anywhere with this Suv and have zero issues with it.
The engine has already died and the ahc suspension failed.
Big fan here! I got the 100 series last year. Best decision ever!
Superb! What country are you in?

It's a great car. It's not for everyone since it's thirsty and expensive to maintain but I love it already
On my 2nd LC, should never have sold my first one (2004) they are top notch, best in their field. 💪
What one did you get after the 2004?

I have already seen this video before. Have you reposted it or is it on another channel? I recall seeing it elsewhere
A different version on another channel, but I'm putting all my new land cruiser videos here instead!
@@landcruiserscotland Okay, now I will also keep things in order here and continue to watch.
That other channel is pretty much retired, but thanks for coming over. Hope the videos are helpful!
@@landcruiserscotland yes videos are helpful
Best decision ever
Very cheep , in US those go for at least 15000$
Is it a diesel?
Yeah it's the diesel, which makes more sense in the UK market. The best car I've had for towing too!
Peasant car
I enjoy drinking dirty water and eating potatoes and rice. I am a peasant. Can't talk now, I'm going off to marry my cousin
