The Australian police used, and I understand still use, the Land Cruiser BJ extensively. The BJ77 hardtop is used by the police rescue and special services teams in metropolitan areas and both 73s and 77s are used as patrol vehicles in rural areas a lot too. Incredibly tough vehicles and in areas where rust is less of an issue they are almost unkillable as they are mechanically extremely simple so very easy to repair and also extremely mechanically robust so they don't need repairing very often. A family friend who lives "near" Alice Springs (near in Australian terms means about a days drive away) has an '85 BJ73 hard top which he has had since new that has done well over 500,000 kilometres and the engine, gearbox and axles have never needed to be taken apart. Most of those kms have been done in the bush rather than on what pass for roads in that part of Oz. To put it into perspective he's just bought his fifth Ford Falcon station wagon road car in the same time period. They're not fast, 80 km/h is about the most you'd want to cruise at on the road as they get very loud and very bouncy above that speed but they're pretty economical for a serious 4x4 at that sort of speed and the engine is an absolute torque monster which helps make them incredibly competent off-road even in totally standard form. Really these are the direct Japanese equivalent to a Land-Rover from before they tried to go posh and lifestyle, and with a lot more reliability built in. Sadly we never got the FJ and BJ as official new vehicles in the UK though a lot have been imported from Japan and also from mainland Europe (where they were sold in left-hand drive form, a plausible theory I've heard many times is that Toyota couldn't produce enough right-hand drive FJ and BJ vehicles to satisfy the market in the UK, Australia and Japan so the UK dipped out, though I've also heard that they couldn't be recorded as commercial vehicles in the UK and therefore the purchase tax would have made the prices uncompetitive) and they are highly valued in the UK. They can, however, be as rust-prone as the previous generation in colder, wetter and more rusty climates if they're not thoroughly and carefully rust protected as the factory rust proofing was minimal to say the least...
I need to stop watching your videos. These cars are always so cool and one of these days I'm going to impulsively buy one, lol
One of the best cars ever built!
hi derek. the 70 series did not stop production in 2015. maybe sales were halted in japan in that year but its still for sale in AUS and middle east afaik
Very cool.
I am not sure if they stopped here. 2015 was a special limited year and I have not seen newer ones at auction. Maybe owners just don't want to sell them. I know I wouldn't.
MY FAVORITE CAR IN THE WORLD
Love ❤️ your channel, these older land cruisers and diesel trucks are SO HARD TO FIND HERE IN CALIFORNIA!! Also love the 4x4 vans and r/v's you have every once in awhile!!
Could you plzzzzzzzzz do a video on how much it would cost and WHATS INVOLVED TO SHIP ONE here to California I'd imagine it would be a container ship to Los Angeles BUT PLZZZZ INFORM US ON WHAT IT TAKES WOULD Love TO BUY ONE and ship it here
I would never make fun of you .We have a 40 & 60 series Cruiser ,but the 70 series are so cool, we never got them here in the States, thanks.
Underside of japans auctions cars are amazing.
Hi Derek I just got this land cruiser Bj74 FRP top. I am a 4x4 enthusiast and I love it especially the solid axle which makes this cruiser unbreakable. Apparently mine has changed engine to 1kz 3.0 turbo diesel a very strong engine to be honest. Thank you all your reviews with Bj74 which makes me decide to get this very rare and reliable land Cruiser. Watching from Philippines
Agreed! Land Cruisers are THE BEST. Can't wait to purchase my first one. Thanks for the great videos!
Land Cruisers/Toyota Diesels are the best (other than the 2LTE)... I as well am trying to talk my wife into an LC 80... Tho she is more interested in the new Mazda diesel CX5 coming to the US later this year... she also does not like the idea of having vehicles for specific things... I did talk her into letting me sell 2 3.4L Tacomas to find a LN107 Hilux 3L with you guys! I love my wife.
I love your wife too!
the stock winch runs off the drive shaft? wow. Thats impressive. the car looks gorgeous now but i feel like id want to get the winch back on it.
An electric winch yes, but PTO winches (which is what that kind of winch is called), were done away with for a reason. Trickier to control, more complex, etc.
Great review, as always ! .........reading between the lines, I'd guess that whoever had this vehicle before took off the much wider front bumper (with the fitted winch) to make it more compatible for off-road 4x4'ing, .......rock-sliders, etc.
Big fan of your work. I wish i had your job hahah. Keep up the good work buddy 👍
If it had those AR Vectors all around it would be perfect.
those new ones are tough too
would be a miracle to see a supra sometime
or a S30 fairlady z
yeah a z would be so awesome
We have had a few JZA80 Supras on the channel but they were taken down in the 2016 Great Exodus. Lately they cost too much for people to import.
Hop in,we go to a safari in Kenya! :)
UNCLEDOUG HERE NICE TRUCK !!!
I have a HJ75 series troopcarrier :) mine has the 6 cylinder diesel. Awesome trucks
Fuck the lift , get a cleaner one stock with no rust and a better interior for similar price ! Weigh up a FULL de-rust professional price VS a lift kit ... Good luck , I wouldn't buy this particular one... They also come with a 5 cylinder 3.5 , I just bought the 1993 4 door , twice as clean as this...
It's beautiful....
Loved the video! Maybe in future videos, you can sit in the driver's seat and give us a perspective and maybe row through the gears, just something as a thought! Again, great video. When I get rich I'll sure be getting one.
Good suggestion. I will do it in a future video.
May i know the specification of diesel fuel in japan? I really love how diesel engine did not make a lot of smoke in japan, compared to how diesel smoke a lot in my country.
Do you guys ever import just engines? Been looking around for a mechanical pump 1hd-t for my fzj80. Can't find any on ebay
Are you going to post a video of the white Odyssey?
u doing a video on the evo 6???
cool
Derek, where is Lupo GTi?
Hi question where can I find a importer that brings in LEFT HAND DRIVE toyotas??
Lovely car, 251.000 it is a low km for a diesel like that.
first! this thing is beautiful
super sick
What is this going to sell for? Do they make any left hand drive? Where is it at now?
what's the average FOB cost of a land cruiser?
Are there seat belts in the back seats of the 2 door 70 series like that one?
Yes, only the 40-series has no belts in the back of the flip down side seats.
Import USA with right head direction ? Stranger !
How much for a j70
Can I buy?!?!
how th hell can you enter that old vehicle???? . all the countries are so damn hard with the regulations. they dont let any car with 5 years old from this year and also they starting to lower those years.. they want 1 year. how you do it? with papers? or just paying those expensive taxes
Ths is 1985
I would never make fun of you .We have a 40 & 60 series Cruiser ,but the 70 series are so cool, we never got them here in the States, thanks.
