When I was 8 years old, my dad bought a beautiful new Toyota pick-up. We would go off-roading all over Texas. There was a spot on the San Jacinto River that had water crossings, mud bogs, and a crazy rock climb with roots all over it. We would show up to that spot in the beautiful two tone (blue with the white stripe down the middle of the side panels) Toyota, and there would be guys in big Fords, Chevys, and Dodges, who would all talk some kind of trash when we showed up. Like, "jap crap"and "pussy ass rice burner". But by the end of the day, that little Toyota pulled almost every big bronco, blazer, and truck out of the mud. Always got a kick out of that. There's an off-road story.

Im 37 and i've bought nothing but toyotas and HAVE NOT been disappointed once. Love you dad and i know you're offroading in heaven with that landcruiser of yours! P.S. BEST ADVICE EVER!
Land Cruisers are beasts. Some guys I worked with did a lot of land seismic surveying in North Africa -- pretty rough terrain most of it. They said that in spite of the maintenance contract they had with Land Rover the vehicles they had kept breaking so much that they switched to Cruisers and only ever had a fraction of the problems afterwards.

As much as I like Land Rovers, before the Landcruiser was launched, in Australia Land Rover dominated the off-road vehicle market at 90%. However, not long after the Landcruiser went on sale, that went down to 2%, yes 2%!! This has already been commented on, but I’m going to say it again because it’s quite funny, that the saying in Australia is, “if you want to head out into the outback take a Land Rover, but if you want to come back again take a Landcruiser”. No disrespect to Land Rover, but that says it all.
@@asiimwedesignage8756 nope land rover did not discontinued his car Toyota killed them around the world. The land cruiser is actually the only car that is available everywhere on the globe no other car can compete
I lived as a kid in Mosul Iraq, and my father had 2 vehicles. One was NISSAN Patrol, and other Land Cruiser. Only thing I remember going south was windshield smashed from a rock on a fast road. Those vehicles were amazing. Where ever you want to go, just point the first tyres. Up, down, mud, sand. It keeps going. Amazing. Never broke down. Never got stuck, and that's what you need in a off road vehicle. I liked Toyota little more than Nissan.
ohhh yea baby.. been waiting for ages for this one! my dad still have his own 2004 Land Cruiser with manual gear, and mom has a 2009 Land Cruiser Prado with automatic gear
Hi I am from Venezuela a country full of Toyota lovers. My Grandad himself had a black Land Cruiser model 80. It was a wonderful vehicle. These were nicknamed "Burbujas" (bubbles) and "Autanas" (the name of a tepui, a rooftop-shaped mountain common here) I really loved to drive it. And the model 60 are called "Samurais". The model 80 was so popular that in my country they were produced as late as 2007. The newest model's nickname is "Roraima" (another tepui). But unfortunately they're so unaffordable that only corrupt politicians can get them. Anyway, I loved your video bro. Keep up the good work.
Sigo este canal hace meses y el único video que no había visto era este, y me consigo un toyomongolico venezolano en los comentarios, Que enfermedad de pana estos #toyobobos en todos lados.
Jaja hermano ni le pares a esos comentarios. Excelente el ingles que tienes. Yo soy mas de Jeep ya que en mi familia habia un CJ7 y nos llevo a todos lados, incluso a lugares donde no pasaban los toyotas por ser muy pesados. Pero obviamente los Toyotas son excelentes, lastima que en nuestro hermoso pais hayan muerto tantas personas por andar en un Land Cruiser, yo andaba en una 4runner 2005 y 2 veces se la robaron y me toco ir a rescatarla con el GPS y el CICPC... La primera vez que se la robaron fue en San Bernardino cerca del hotel Avila y se la robaron los escoltas de el difunto diputado del PSUV Robert Serra, fui con un amigo del CICPC y otro agente y la tenian estacionada en la esquina de la casa de Serra en la Pastora, me la lleve con la llave copia... La 2da vez si fue hampa comun en la bomba viniendo de Paracotas hacia CCS por la regional del centro y la rescate en un complejo de Mision Vivienda mas abajo de Charallave... Andar con Toyotas en Venezuela es un riesgo super alto.

We had this car in Colombia for 3 months and went offroading to the craziest waterfalls up in the mountains. Will never forget that time. Fell in love with the land cruiser back then
I’ve had seven LandCruiser, three 40’s and four 55’s. They never let me down. My last one which I’ll never sell an 82 FJ40 was and still is my favorite.
They have strong chasisses, powerful and reliable engines, awesome drivetrain and suspention and big engine bays for when you want a W16 land cru... Land Smasher!
That would be Land Cruiser HELL.. Because nobody there is going to sell you one for a good price. I would not even sell My Lexus 80 series for a penny less than $20k.
I bought the cheapest FZJ80 landcruiser in the US a few months ago for 1000$ with 500k miles on it. Ran and drove with no issues. Yeah its covered in rust from living a life in the midwestern rust belt, but in quarantine, its been the perfect project for my dad and I.
My grandfather said a Toyota is a poor mans military tank. Toyota is the only car brand that I will go with. Just look for the video that top gear created called trying to kill a Toyota where they burned and bashed it to pieces and spoiler alert. It still ran and drove. If you speak of ford or any other American car brand in my household, you will be exiled to a galaxy far far away.
They've done the same thing to a Jeep XJ Cherokee. Just look on youtube you can see one getting totally thrashed coming apart in half at the frame and still driving
That being said though the Toyota Hiluxes from the mid 1990s are/were indestructible. I see them a lot still driving in Peru where they sold a ton of them to that market.
I have a 100 and 40 series. Both are amazing. The FJ40 is great for the weekend, but the 100 performs great everyday on the street and at a farm where it finds itself in mud. I drive both hard and I have never got stuck.
Best truck ever..just thinking my 2004 100series is now 14 years old and I still drive it like I’m king of the road and off road .. my kids grew up admiring this piece of outstanding engineering.. they still don’t dare to put their feet on the seats
not only as a utilitarian truck but also as an SUV... depending in which country you live in you can walk into a Toyota dealership and order it in a 6x6 or even bulletproof...
He didn't even mention the 70 series and the fact it is still being made today. He outright lied about the 100 series being still in production. and left out the FJ cruiser as a capable off road vehicle that took styling cues of an ancestor to mark an anniversary of the nameplate .
The land cruiser is terribly underrated, and it's a beast, I had one that got me through the African safaris I kept getting stuck in. A rhino once charged at me and my family while we were in one, and I bet if it was a Range Rover, we would have flipped but this thing sat like a beast taking a hole for the team Tired of people doubting the fucking story Examples of rhinos ramming land cruisers of any year. th-cam.com/video/xL6CUdw84jI/w-d-xo.html
Hahaha😂I was there watching live, the little '76 ramming the GMC in the beginning of the video. Damn. Didn't know that moment was gonna turn up on Donut Media.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 don’t know what it’s called in other countries but we refer to it sometimes as, “76 series” or sometimes as, “station” and some other times, it’s called a capsule.
This brings back childhood memories, my dad had a 1985 model we used to travel 800 miles every 6 months we loved that car so much, it was so powerful and reliable that my dad was emotional when he had to sell it.
I guess the history lesson followed the US lineage of the Land Cruiser, but definitely not the world's. Toyota decided to split the LC range twice. First, they continued with the 70 Series even though the 80 Series went into production. 70s were seen as the work-horses, while the 80s were the more "lifestyle" rigs. In higher trims, the 70s became known as LC Prado, but this was short lived until the 90 Series was launched in 1996 when the LC Prado became its own model line, rather than just a trim level. Shortly thereafter is when the second split occurred, making the LC range now 3 distinct models: the long running 70 Series, medium sized 90 Series, and full sized 100, Series at the time. This three way split continues to today, with the 70 Series still being in production (albeit slightly face-lifted), then we have the current LC Prado aka 150 Series, and finally the full sized LC 200 Series. Where I'm from, we have all 3 sold here
I didn’t think I’d like this video or the narrator....but this hands down is one of the most informative presentations on the Landcruiser I’ve ever seen. Outstanding job young man. This gent really knows his stuff!
Or live in the inner city and get Sick and Tired of wankers in Four wheel drives making life difficult for other road users and driving like they're off to the outback when they're really of to deliver their kids the 500 metres to school and double park while they are doing it when the "Little Darlings" really need to walk there and what they really need is a Nissan hatchback. ps: I thumbs up this video.
@@talhadar7017 The Pajero did not compete in the T2 class. Land Cruiser competed in the T2 class which is for production vehicles which are highly regulated which modification is allowed. Pajero was T1 class.

We have a turbo diesel 79 series with over 600,000 kms unopened and is a farm ute. Used and abused everyday. The petrols dont hold up as good as a diesel
You another cool legendary Japanese SUV that has conquered the earth, changed the automotive game and oh yeah...owns the world record of 12 Dakar championships.....the Pajero/Montero/Shogun. Has one of the strongest IFS in a SUV, had electronic adjustable suspension in the 90s, locking diffs, super select 4wd, etc etc
Pajero/Montero win in modified category. that means without those modification, it will have little chance to survive the wilderness of sahara. Meanwhile, LC won consecutively in UN-MODIFIED category. that means it will survive whatever it face in the wild.
Having driven a 50 year old BJ40 bull catcher in the outback I can tell you that they do fall apart, BUT even when it pisses every single fluid it’s got out of every hole it’s got, you can fix them again with a pen knife and some fencing wire and just keep on going

Actually, the 79 series has quite a lot of technology being a modern common rail turbo diesel, however, common rail motors bring exhaust gas into the intake manifold.
@@sethj3711 common rail engines have been used since the early 1900s. An ECU has replaced cam and hydraulic timing, and EGRs, turbos and other unnecessary additions make it somewhat more complex, it hasn't changed all that much
@@sethj3711 dpfs bring old exhaust gas back early models don't but the common rail injection has a lot of pressure. The 79s had a 1hz and 1hd fte which were direct injection motors
I drive an '02 Land Cruiser most days to work in Guatemala, and we also just got an FJ-40 from the 70s here too. I'm having some basic repairs done on my '02 (Window Motor and Headlight that was smashed) I gotta say that for Guatemala older Land Cruisers are perfect for the narrow roads and streets that are poorly maintained and the unmaintained rural roads, and from a mechanical standpoint they never quit.
This is what made my dad fall in love with toyota landcruisers, 4runners, Fj, pickups,tacomas. And all that is under the hub of the JDM off-road vehicles my pops owns a 91 land cruiser that has a V8 prado 4x4 and he green beast
Sacratus I own both now, they’re honestly so different they’re not even competition with each other. Ones a better tow vehicle and the other has more mod potential off the shelf. Wouldn’t sell either
Prado does have the "Land Cruiser" nameplate on it but i don't think much ppl consider it a real Land Cruiser, he did cover the 70series (but he forgot to mention that its still in production)
Here in Brazil we had only the model 40 under the name plate “bandeirante”, it was produced until 2001, with minor facelifts, they started with the gasoline engines and in 1970 they kept only the diesel ones, a fun fact is that toyota used mercedes diesel engines until 1991, my family owns an 1989 bj truck long wheel based, since 2000 and we love it! We work with coffee, and our plantations are very difficult to access, and the land cruiser or bandeirante is aways up to the task!

LG COC The Lagging Offencoch I can answer your questions. Why no changes: -For that we will have to go back to WW1. The germans helped Lenin to gain popularity in order to overthrow the autoritarian government and basically make Russia defenseless and then conquer it. Lenin was exiled, he was Marxist, Marx was German(Prussian). It worked, but with a delay. Germany wasn't able to capitulate Russia. . . What does that have to do with all? I am gonna say some bad stuff about commies, so you shouldn't think I mean it against the russians, but rather the fking commies. . . So, the Cold War era: The commies were too busy arming the country and that was costing a lot in both money and human resources. So they were saying "fuck you" to every new project that requires a lot of money. An example is AZLK: They had a project for a family car with RWD, independent rear suspension and DOHC engine. IN 1973 !!! They had 3 concepts and had already tested it against western cars for reliability and comfort. Sounds good, doesn't it? Yeah, but ministry of automobile industry passed a new law that said "all soviet cars of new generation must be FWD". So the project got cancelled. AZLK had put all its money in it. What did the ministry do? -Sent a Simca 1307 to the engineers as a "present". And so the AZLK 2141 came to be. A boring, FWD, SOHC engined PoS that was severely underpowered. It was kinda the same with VAZ(Lada) only that as you may know, after the commies went out, Russia had no money. So the restrictions imposed by the communist government were gone, but now there were no money to spend on development. Even with that, they did make new cars, further developments of the 2108 platform which was developed in conjunction with Porsche. -Priora -Samara 2 -Kalina -Granta And now since Renault-Nissan bought them, they made the Vesta and XRAY. They kept the Riva and Niva in production because they sold reasonably well. But there were changes, and not for the better. Since the mid to late 90s the Riva began to be made of cheaper steel. In the mid 2000s they received fuel injection from GM as a "reward" for making the Chevy Niva(with which they sold the "Niva" nameplate and that's why new ones are called 4x4) So don't take new crash tests seriously. There's one old one where it hits a concrete wall at 50km/h and almost doesn't deform. The new one with the blue 2107 is also a different test- a 40% overlap one, instead of a head-on. On top of that the car is new and is made of the shitty steel.
@Professor Liberal Avenger Don't get me wrong I own a Toyota land cruiser 70 series dual cab v8 turbo diesel and I think its a beastly truck but I don't think its fair to label it as NO.1 when there are better cars/trucks in different categories. For example I am also the owner of a 1994 land rover defender 110 modified to be a beast, why do you bring this up you may ask well thats because the things that truck have gone through off-roading and never getting stuck once but I have plenty of mates who go off-roading in Toyotas same spots and at the end of the day I'm towing them out of the mud, but with that said my cruiser has so much more power than the Land Rover I mean it is a v8 turbo diesel so when I am towing something I'm going to use the Cruiser. In conclusion I think it would be better to just say its better in a certain categories but people do what people want to do so I guess I can't hate.
@Professor Liberal Avenger newer ones an old defender is perfectly made you fool most are still driving around today and theres a reason its the car that was took to discover Africa and other areas with rough terrain.
we can't afford a Land cruiser but for me, corolla 9th generation is my off-road vehicle. It runs smoothly on unpaved roads in my village, which is in the desert.

As much as I like Land Rovers, before the Landcruiser was launched, in Australia Land Rover dominated the off-road vehicle market at 90%. However, not long after the Landcruiser went on sale, that went down to 2%, yes 2%!! This has already been commented on, but I’m going to say it again because it’s quite funny, that the saying in Australia is, “if you want to head out into the outback take a Land Rover, but if you want to come back again take a Landcruiser”. No disrespect to Land Rover, but that says it all.
#LandRover did that to itsself; how do you discontinue the #classic_Defender and expect competition to also relax like you?
@@asiimwedesignage8756 nope land rover did not discontinued his car Toyota killed them around the world. The land cruiser is actually the only car that is available everywhere on the globe no other car can compete
There’s a saying if your going into the back country with a Land Rover bring your cell phone to call for a land cruiser to pull you home 😂

Asiimwe Designage Defenders were never reliable to begin with.
I lived as a kid in Mosul Iraq, and my father had 2 vehicles. One was NISSAN Patrol, and other Land Cruiser. Only thing I remember going south was windshield smashed from a rock on a fast road. Those vehicles were amazing. Where ever you want to go, just point the first tyres. Up, down, mud, sand. It keeps going. Amazing. Never broke down. Never got stuck, and that's what you need in a off road vehicle. I liked Toyota little more than Nissan.

Hi I am from Venezuela a country full of Toyota lovers. My Grandad himself had a black Land Cruiser model 80. It was a wonderful vehicle. These were nicknamed "Burbujas" (bubbles) and "Autanas" (the name of a tepui, a rooftop-shaped mountain common here) I really loved to drive it. And the model 60 are called "Samurais". The model 80 was so popular that in my country they were produced as late as 2007. The newest model's nickname is "Roraima" (another tepui). But unfortunately they're so unaffordable that only corrupt politicians can get them. Anyway, I loved your video bro. Keep up the good work.
Maldito maduro
Sigo este canal hace meses y el único video que no había visto era este, y me consigo un toyomongolico venezolano en los comentarios, Que enfermedad de pana estos #toyobobos en todos lados.
Leonardo Contreras malditos toyobobos de pana que son una plaga
Carlos Vasquez JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA #toyomongolicos y sus cosas
Jaja hermano ni le pares a esos comentarios. Excelente el ingles que tienes. Yo soy mas de Jeep ya que en mi familia habia un CJ7 y nos llevo a todos lados, incluso a lugares donde no pasaban los toyotas por ser muy pesados. Pero obviamente los Toyotas son excelentes, lastima que en nuestro hermoso pais hayan muerto tantas personas por andar en un Land Cruiser, yo andaba en una 4runner 2005 y 2 veces se la robaron y me toco ir a rescatarla con el GPS y el CICPC... La primera vez que se la robaron fue en San Bernardino cerca del hotel Avila y se la robaron los escoltas de el difunto diputado del PSUV Robert Serra, fui con un amigo del CICPC y otro agente y la tenian estacionada en la esquina de la casa de Serra en la Pastora, me la lleve con la llave copia... La 2da vez si fue hampa comun en la bomba viniendo de Paracotas hacia CCS por la regional del centro y la rescate en un complejo de Mision Vivienda mas abajo de Charallave... Andar con Toyotas en Venezuela es un riesgo super alto.
"It's all about the torque!"
Doesn't tell us the torque figures...
Jason Adrian true true, the petrol h2 engine in the 40 series is kinda like a diesel, idles at 500, and red lines at 3.5k but will go beyond cause there not limiter
4.5 diesel V8 produces 600 N.Ms of torque
if James does the torque figures, it would be bored as Fifth Gear can get.
(If you didn't know what is Fifth Gear, it was a Car-themed show, but boring af)

-my Aussie friend
People in Africa also say that
We had this car in Colombia for 3 months and went offroading to the craziest waterfalls up in the mountains. Will never forget that time. Fell in love with the land cruiser back then
I’ve had seven LandCruiser, three 40’s and four 55’s. They never let me down. My last one which I’ll never sell an 82 FJ40 was and still is my favorite.

so thats why LC made Lexsus is cost about more than 110k$ and its really amazing bro
They've done the same thing to a Jeep XJ Cherokee. Just look on youtube you can see one getting totally thrashed coming apart in half at the frame and still driving
That being said though the Toyota Hiluxes from the mid 1990s are/were indestructible. I see them a lot still driving in Peru where they sold a ton of them to that market.
I saw that
I have a 100 and 40 series. Both are amazing. The FJ40 is great for the weekend, but the 100 performs great everyday on the street and at a farm where it finds itself in mud. I drive both hard and I have never got stuck.
I've lived out of my FJ80! Its hands down the most reliable vehicle I have ever had. Just passed 300k original miles!
Best truck ever..just thinking my 2004 100series is now 14 years old and I still drive it like I’m king of the road and off road .. my kids grew up admiring this piece of outstanding engineering.. they still don’t dare to put their feet on the seats

He didn't even mention the 70 series and the fact it is still being made today. He outright lied about the 100 series being still in production. and left out the FJ cruiser as a capable off road vehicle that took styling cues of an ancestor to mark an anniversary of the nameplate .
The land cruiser is terribly underrated, and it's a beast, I had one that got me through the African safaris I kept getting stuck in.

This brings back childhood memories, my dad had a 1985 model we used to travel 800 miles every 6 months we loved that car so much, it was so powerful and reliable that my dad was emotional when he had to sell it.
I guess the history lesson followed the US lineage of the Land Cruiser, but definitely not the world's. Toyota decided to split the LC range twice. First, they continued with the 70 Series even though the 80 Series went into production. 70s were seen as the work-horses, while the 80s were the more "lifestyle" rigs. In higher trims, the 70s became known as LC Prado, but this was short lived until the 90 Series was launched in 1996 when the LC Prado became its own model line, rather than just a trim level. Shortly thereafter is when the second split occurred, making the LC range now 3 distinct models: the long running 70 Series, medium sized 90 Series, and full sized 100, Series at the time. This three way split continues to today, with the 70 Series still being in production (albeit slightly face-lifted), then we have the current LC Prado aka 150 Series, and finally the full sized LC 200 Series. Where I'm from, we have all 3 sold here

Actually, the 79 series has quite a lot of technology being a modern common rail turbo diesel, however, common rail motors bring exhaust gas into the intake manifold.
@@sethj3711 common rail engines have been used since the early 1900s. An ECU has replaced cam and hydraulic timing, and EGRs, turbos and other unnecessary additions make it somewhat more complex, it hasn't changed all that much

PRADOS is not a land cruiser, in the states prados is called the Lexus GX
Here in Brazil we had only the model 40 under the name plate “bandeirante”, it was produced until 2001, with minor facelifts, they started with the gasoline engines and in 1970 they kept only the diesel ones, a fun fact is that toyota used mercedes diesel engines until 1991, my family owns an 1989 bj truck long wheel based, since 2000 and we love it!

I can answer your questions.
Why no changes:
-For that we will have to go back to WW1.
The germans helped Lenin to gain popularity in order to overthrow the autoritarian government and basically make Russia defenseless and then conquer it.
Lenin was exiled, he was Marxist, Marx was German(Prussian).
It worked, but with a delay. Germany wasn't able to capitulate Russia.

What does that have to do with all? I am gonna say some bad stuff about commies, so you shouldn't think I mean it against the russians, but rather the fking commies.
.
.
So, the Cold War era:
The commies were too busy arming the country and that was costing a lot in both money and human resources.
So they were saying "fuck you" to every new project that requires a lot of money.
An example is AZLK: They had a project for a family car with RWD, independent rear suspension and DOHC engine.
IN 1973 !!!
They had 3 concepts and had already tested it against western cars for reliability and comfort.
Sounds good, doesn't it?
Yeah, but ministry of automobile industry passed a new law that said "all soviet cars of new generation must be FWD".
So the project got cancelled.
AZLK had put all its money in it.
What did the ministry do?
-Sent a Simca 1307 to the engineers as a "present".
And so the AZLK 2141 came to be. A boring, FWD, SOHC engined PoS that was severely underpowered.
It was kinda the same with VAZ(Lada) only that as you may know, after the commies went out, Russia had no money.
So the restrictions imposed by the communist government were gone, but now there were no money to spend on development.
Even with that, they did make new cars, further developments of the 2108 platform which was developed in conjunction with Porsche.
-Priora
-Samara 2
-Kalina
-Granta
And now since Renault-Nissan bought them, they made the Vesta and XRAY.
They kept the Riva and Niva in production because they sold reasonably well.
But there were changes, and not for the better.
Since the mid to late 90s the Riva began to be made of cheaper steel.
In the mid 2000s they received fuel injection from GM as a "reward" for making the Chevy Niva(with which they sold the "Niva" nameplate and that's why new ones are called 4x4)
So don't take new crash tests seriously.
There's one old one where it hits a concrete wall at 50km/h and almost doesn't deform.
The new one with the blue 2107 is also a different test- a 40% overlap one, instead of a head-on. On top of that the car is new and is made of the shitty steel.
Toyota No.1
wrong
@@intergalacticthic-boi3866 Crybaby. Your bet lose.
@Professor Liberal Avenger Don't get me wrong I own a Toyota land cruiser 70 series dual cab v8 turbo diesel and I think its a beastly truck but I don't think its fair to label it as NO.1 when there are better cars/trucks in different categories. For example I am also the owner of a 1994 land rover defender 110 modified to be a beast, why do you bring this up you may ask well thats because the things that truck have gone through off-roading and never getting stuck once but I have plenty of mates who go off-roading in Toyotas same spots and at the end of the day I'm towing them out of the mud, but with that said my cruiser has so much more power than the Land Rover I mean it is a v8 turbo diesel so when I am towing something I'm going to use the Cruiser. In conclusion I think it would be better to just say its better in a certain categories but people do what people want to do so I guess I can't hate.
@Professor Liberal Avenger newer ones an old defender is perfectly made you fool most are still driving around today and theres a reason its the car that was took to discover Africa and other areas with rough terrain.
@Professor Liberal Avenger whatever dude, by the way what the fuck is a goober
we can't afford a Land cruiser but for me, corolla 9th generation is my off-road vehicle. It runs smoothly on unpaved roads in my village, which is in the desert.
