Really falling in love with that Land Cruiser! Fun fact, the 70 Land Cruisers are still being sold in Canada with the exception of it being in under very strict conditions and it’s only used in mining industries.
Congrats on picking up a great truck. An iconic vehicle here in Australia. In the remote areas of the country, the 70 series is mainly what you'll see on the roads - they're just so tough and reliable. But you already know that ;) I got my 76 series in December, and love it - so much character and fun to drive.
grew up in the back of an old 75 series troop carrier, great old bus's the 1hz is an extremely dependable motor. my first ute was a 75 series and younger me would have been very jealous of your extractors and factory air con which didnt come standard in mine! great work look forward to seeing more.
I can feel your enthusiasm about the Troopy, it is the same to me, if I see my Troopy in front of me or driving all over the world. Greetings from a 78 from Germany.
Love the troopy mate! We don’t get to seen them in the snow very often. I’ve been waiting 10 months for my new 2022 V8 Troopy here is Aus. Keep up the great vids 👍🏼
Welcome to the troopy club mate, been cutting around in the scrub for 15yrs in my ex-mine 2002 and been waiting 9mths for my new one. They are rough as guts mate, hard to break. Have fun
Really cool to see. I'm from Australia and Troppys are common here. In fact I have one too 😄 They have a bit of a cult following and are super reliable. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it
That is one hell of a vehicle, I wonder how many are in Canada? I love how the tow truck guy stuck around too that was funny. Good stuff, cant wait to see what adventures you get this thing into.
I wonder how do diesel Japanese imports SUVs behave in very cold winters! How has your experience been with Calgary's coldest winters? I have been importing gasoline ones only but I am very tempted to import the diesel ones too, like TLC or Nissan safaris.
Nice buy, thanks to the rona prices on 2nd hand LC70s have been sky high over here in Aus for the last couple of years. also with the fire extinguisher under the drivers seat like that I suspect this is an ex Mine vehicle, which would explain why the rear end is sitting so high. The Mines will almost always beef up the suspension in their 70s, so if she seems way too stiff then its probably set for a fairly high constant load. Mind you, they're always a bit stiff empty anyway. Still, it's an awesome machine, and I can't wait to see what you do with it over there. 👍
Thankfully we got this one for a good price! It’s not an ex mine vehicle, it was bought at a private sale from a private owner who had it for several years as a daily driver. Definitely some beefy leaf springs tho. We will be building a small home in the back eventually so the extra leafs will come in handy for the weight.
@@allterraintrails judging by the Ocean and Earth Sticker on the back it was owned by a surfer and might have spent a lot of time near salt water. check the roof gutters for rust repairs! I see a little in the rear quarter panel.
That’s so interesting! I just bought a 1995 Troopy that was originally in Australia too (I’m in the US). Same color exterior and interior. My large rear window had the same bubbling- wonder what causes that?? I LOVE mine- such a great truck. Good luck with it!
I noticed the orange light on the dashboard,that’s telling you the timing belt needs replacement, you can buy a kit that supplies everything you need including the water pump cheers 👍👍👍
We don't know anyone in Panama who could have went to look at the vehicle, filled out paperwork, and delivered the vehicle to the port. Australia made the most sense and we love our RHD! It's unique here in Canada
Trust me, these are as tough as. Not unusual to do over 1m/km on that diesel engine. The LC is used here by the agricultural, mining industries , families etc . Top vehicle, enjoy. shouldn't be too difficult to get parts or servici ng there. Guaranteed to turn heads! RHD vehicle.
@@allterraintrails Toyota is one of the biggest selling vehicles in Australia. My family use them on their 2 properties in Queensland Aust . Towing a 3.5 tonne trailer fully loaded doesn't worry it at all. Ours are 79 Series diesels using the V8 Diesel . You'll still get yrs of good use out of yours. The 4.0 straight 6 diesel is a bullet proof unit. They are Easy to work on , parts even in Canada shouldn't be too difficult or expensive to source. Great choice of vehicle. The Canadian winters won't bother it .
Firstly, timing belt warning shud be a concern bro... Do have a check on that... Either need to be replace or sensor faulty... Other than that, 70series was a wise choice bro... You shud check on Thai 4x4 mod for the engine swap... Hahahaha
want one of these brand new sooo friggin bad , im willing to buy a brand new one and store it in my garage for 15 years before i register it on Canadian roads, THATS IF THEY EVEN LET ME IMPORT IT...... why do we have laws like these , jesus
Outstanding job you guys. Must be neat to have something totally different from all the other cookie cutter overland vehicles on the road. Does it take some time to get used to driving a right hand steering vehicle.
Nice car. I'm moving to Canada from Norway soon, I have a Swedish registered HZJ75 troopy from 1999, I've been thinking if I should bring it to Canada, there doesn't seem to be many of them in Canada, any suggestions? Was the registration process complicated?
Thank you! They are still quite rare here in Canada. I have never seen another one. It's not terribly difficult to register but you will need an "out of province inspection" done where they inspect to make sure the vehicle is road worthy. That's about it! What province are you moving to?
Love your video!! Would we be able to chat offline? I’d also like to read your blog article on the import journey- can’t quite find the link. Thanks/Josh
I’m loving the 1HZ! What year did they start making them with the VDJ? I’d like one but I don’t thing they’re available in Canada yet! They need to be at least 15 years old in order to import.

Omg I am insanely jealous right now
That is a dream of many! Thank you for brining it over! I will follow your channel, what an inspiration!
Seeing it in person for the first time must have been such an amazing feeling, congratulations!! Great rig

Currently I’m live in Australia and we are planning to move to canada with our prado120(1KD Diesel) .Thanks Mate ❤️ . This helps me lot in the future
we'd love to move to Australia! want to trade?
I am in BC and just picked up a 2001 Troop Carrier. I love it! Thx for the vid.
Here in Costa Rica we got LHD of thoses. Used by the Red Cross and Social Security hospitals, also the police use them as detention wagons.
Your gonna love the troopy mate 👌
Absolutely stocked to see this weapon make it’s way over to Canada!!

We’ve tried to find others in Canada, no luck yet!!
That thing is sweet. There so many great vehicles around the world that we don't get here
Agreed!
oh man get sound proofing in the
whole car... i did it in 2 days... best upgrade!
all the best with it
Love the new rig !! Hope to see it some day out there !
I’m sure we’ll get out at some point!
Bro that is nuts and beautiful simultaniously
I'm from Australia and you have a nice Troopy. I bet it will be fun driving a RHD vehicle over there? Great video and can't wait to see more.

@@allterraintrails so you will tour and live out of the troopy? You'll need coil springs and sheepskin covers on seats

I Look forward to the day I get to export an 1970 FJ Land Cruiser here in Canada.

How did you order it? Was there an importer you went through? How much did it cost? Thanks! I’m in the us and looking to see how to get one
IVE A 1997 TROOPCARRIER, HERE ON THE CENTRAL QUEENSLAND COAST, AUSTRALIA. OWNED IT SINCE 2000💖💖💖💖
I noticed the orange light on the dashboard,that’s telling you the timing belt needs replacement, you can buy a kit that supplies everything you need including the water pump cheers 👍👍👍
Yes, the timing belt has been replaced, the light will not reset.
New subscriber and super stoked to see what your plan is for it!
Hello fellow Troopy owner. Would you happen to know where to get parts in Canada for Troops? I need to replace my muffler. Thx.
mighty 1hz
Following you guys from Brooks.
Toyota Land Cruiser 70 series 🇯🇵❤️💪👍👆🎥😍👍 the best of the best 4×4!!!!
How do u insure them? Suggestions if using as a daily druver?
I insure it through my regular automotive insurance company here in Calgary
Fellow Albertan! I live just north of Edmonton. Why did you not import a 15 year old one instead of this one? Looking forward to future videos
Newer ones were out of our price range.
RIP 4Runner hello troopy
Should have considered buying and importing a LHD troopy from Panama.
We don't know anyone in Panama who could have went to look at the vehicle, filled out paperwork, and delivered the vehicle to the port. Australia made the most sense and we love our RHD! It's unique here in Canada
How are the rules in Canada regarding importing a car? Does a car have to be minimum 25 years old like in the US?
nah it's only 15 years in all of Canada except Quebec where it uses the same minimum 25 years restrictions as the US
@@urgeeked3977 Wow! that's a huge difference being able to get one only 15 years-old compared to 25 years-old in the US. . .
my favorite is 78 troop carrier

Why get one from Australia and not Dubai being LHD ?
We knew someone in Australia who could help us purchase and export the vehicle from Aus to Canada. We don’t know anyone in Dubai

Would be fun!
The wait for a new one is 4yrs now in Australia, I have one now but been waiting 9mths so far for #2
How much were you able to get for the 4 runner? Looking for a 94-98 in Berta
10,000
Bro how do I import a used Toyota lc from Australia?
Outstanding job you guys. Must be neat to have something totally different from all the other cookie cutter overland vehicles on the road. Does it take some time to get used to driving a right hand steering vehicle.

I very cool rig in the making. Too bad they didn’t import from Germany. Right hand drive is a no go for me.
Wasn't it more convenient to import it from Latin America? I say this because the wheel is on the left side in Latin America.
a big chunk of the story is missing. Why import a car with RH drive?
Because you can’t buy a Troopy in Canada without importing it.
JDM namba wan...!
Why have I never seen your troopy in Calgary!!!
We don't drive it around town much unless it's going out on a trip!
You should import them from arabia...left handed
If we knew someone in Arabia to help with the exporting process we would definitely consider it!
What year is this vehicle?
1996
Do you have the blog to how you imported it?
@@SWERVO513 the link to the blog article is in the description of the video
Congrats Toyota run forever
1hz forever
this is old type troopie , get 4.5L V8 man and and injoy (VDJ78 btw)
I’m loving the 1HZ! What year did they start making them with the VDJ? I’d like one but I don’t thing they’re available in Canada yet! They need to be at least 15 years old in order to import.
