The Toyota Land Cruiser best automobile ever made I have a 96 Lexus a 97 Lexus LX 450 and a 96 Land Cruiser I bought the 97 two years ago with 200,000 for 2700 and Drove it over 20,000 miles with only oil changes drives like new never breaks down look on craigslist and you won’t see a Toyota Land Cruiser with less than 200,000 and lots with 400 500,000 miles no joke they’re all made to last and they do guaranteed
That's not worth really mentioning with a toyota/Lexus. When they are over 600k it's worth nodding in approval. TH-cam the million mile tundra and the 1.2 million mile tacoma to name a couple
I've seen a lot of toyota's with a million. Seen one Nissan truck with over a million too, which was shocking. Saw a few Nissan Pathfinders with 500-600,000 as well. But Toyota's can go a LONG time if they're very well taken care of and maintained.@@pryme2013
The Land Cruiser is the best SUV in the world built to last like the president of Toyota said we build the Land Cruiser to last at least 25 years and they easily do
Maya marie *builds land cruiser to compete with the Mitsubishi montero sport* The land cruiser is pretty cool tho, and probably the most reliable car hoovies ever owned lmao
wiskybiz I’ve seen the ridiculous capability of the patrols you guys get. You need capable vehicles there because if you get stuck in the water the croc’s will get or anywhere else it’ll be the snakes, spiders or the insane heat! I don’t know how anyone can live in a place where everything is trying to kill you?!
I'd check the fluids in your transmission, transfer case, and differentials after going through deep water. Each of those usually have a breather tube, and most people don't know that you should extend those tubes to higher up on your vehicle if you plan on doing deep water crossing. Otherwise you get water in the cases and can ruin them.
Snorkels are for so much more than water. They actually keep the the air box cleaner by sucking clean air from up high instead of down in the dust. Think more of a cold air intake. This the reason they are so popular in Australia. Great videos!
This is the craziest thing you've ever done so far Tyler...hahaha. Love it. There's no doubt the Land Cruiser's are built like a Tank, and they're tough as a Tank, but they don't drive/ride like a tank.
saad9137191 yes they do. My mom had a 06 I have a 07 navigator. And even though my navigator has more power and torque it's just so sluggish they Toyota feels agile for it's size.
I appreciate this video more than your others because when you were in the thick of it, stupid jokes and bad commentary went away, and you were more genuine.
These Land Cruisers are insane. When Katrina hit Mississippi my aunt and uncle owned one of these with a snorkel and used it to get back and forth to their house or what was left of it. It would easily drive through two or three feet of water. They would have to stop and get out and cut trees out of the way that had fallen across the road. I believe it had well over 250,000 miles at that point and still ran perfectly.
That's not how you do a water crossing. You walk it first to plan your route, then you go through with momentum to build a bow wave. Nice way to teach everyone the wrong thing.
nothing im going to assume. Im going to assume he will let the car sit for 2 weeks and make a video of him opening it up to the stench of mold everywhere and every electrical component fried and rusted. leaving him to either strip the whole thing out and turning into a dedicated rock crawler (which its got too wide of a wheelbase to really be good at.) or scrap it.
Snorkels aren't necessarily intended for water they were created for the desert, to get cleaner intake air from up top rather than the dust trapped from inside the fender well, LOVE this video btw!
This is a late comment, but here it goes. The snorkel is not generally meant for underwater driving. It is meant for getting clean, cool air from up above the dust. I do however live in the US Southwest, so take that with a grain of salt. We ran out of H2O years ago...
In Dubai - we went "dune bashing" in Land Cruiser. The driver lets air out of the tires, then we go like hell! Up and down the sand dunes, fully loaded with 5 adults. There was a convoy of 35-50 Cruisers, up and down the dunes, I LOVED it, scared me as we slipped down the dunes, then the driver mashes the petal and we zip up and over-taking air a few times. These Cruisers do 2 or more trips a day, punishing the Cruiser, just fantastic!
As a Lexus Salesman, I'm always waiting to see people trade these things in with a butt ton of miles, in which I can buy off the lot! I'll be doing a review (city) on one of these bad boys soon.
I had one with 432k when I sold it!! It was running EXCELLENT. I basically renewed everything underneath and all the rubbers and suspensions for almost 2,000$ and it felt new again. Not to mention it was surfing and rocks and sand dunes of Saudi Arabia like paved roads. Truly worth every penny I paid for it.
the Toyota Land Cruiser / Prado / Nissan Patrol are basically the only vehicles you will find in the Aussie Outback. If you keep up that offroading you will need yourself a nice set of waterproof canvas seat covers - they are kidproof too :) You would fit right in down under. Many water crossings down here should you choose. as a general rule of thumb, you should try to walk through the water crossing to check the depth first, then do drive... Just make sure there are no crocs around
I meant, somebody else in another 4x4 vehicle. So that way you can get help if stuck or in case of emergency. If you have no friends, have a winch and learn how to use it. 😉
Jose Alberto Diaz tbf he needs a jackass style intro warning on all of his videos, even if most of his "professional stunts" are terrible financial decisions. 😂😂😂
nope.....the cooling system is sealed and even if water got in there, ummm is 50% water anyways He didn't go deep enough to get any in the crankcase and most vehicles these days have o ring seals on the diptick tube anyways. Same as the trans: I doubt he went anywhere deep enough to get any in the trans filler tube Brakes are sealed, if they weren't, he wouldn't be able to stop Power steering fluid: if he got water in there he wouldn't have power steering before because it works on hydraulic pressure. rear end: they are sealed and if he got water in there, he'd have had leaks before he went into the water..... I used to live on a flood plain and drove my F150 through water 1/3 of the way up the doors and never had a problem.
He definitely needs to change the transfercase fluid too, those Toyota transfercases have breathers that will get water inside. Same with the rear and front end. They are not sealed.
You're quite right about the luxury Euro SUVs, some years back during a freak storm event in my city, some streets near my office were flooded about a foot. A guy in a BMW X5 thought he'd try wading through it and promptly got stuck. The electronics failed so he was not able to change gears, and I think the electric park brakes engaged so he was stuck.
Its painful to watch, because he didn't first check what he's going to do first and so he's timid, fearful and scraping his rust protection off various spots in the process. I hope it only takes him one time to do things in the wrong order. I think he's smart enough to learn it after doing it wrong once ^^
Dude. You were SO lucky not to flip the LX in that water, or drown it. You should always test the depth first before driving through any type of deep water. Also, doesn’t it have a rear locking differential? If not, you need to install one if you’re doing more off-roading. Get some off-road training before you do any more in it. It’s very easy for stuff to go majorly wrong and injury to occur.
@@banthapudhu9592 I know the electronics don't like water and water is bad for them. Doesn't take a genius to figure it out. "The point of the snorkel is so that the engine doesn't suck water into the air intake". AKA so the engine doesn't DROWN
Man this has been a great series on the LX470. My neighbor owns a Land Cruiser restoration shop and he drives a lifted LX470 and his wife the same except for being stock height. Both are 1998’s and the same color as yours. This is my next purchase! Thanks so much for the GREAT content!
Owned a 96 Lexus LX450, 80 series. That thing had factory locking rear, center & front difs & could go through anything as long as the wheels were on the ground. I sold it with almost 300k hard miles on it & it ran as smooth as the day I bought it; truly amazing vehicle. Probably the best vehicle I've ever owned & miss it every time it snows or I get the urge to go off roading. Would like to relive those experiences, just don't think the 2017 Murano will cut it, haha.
It really is the best SUV. Mine is 2008 LC200, 4.7l V8. Got 200k kms. I drive it every day, go off-road for weeks at a time every summer (where I am from, Mongolia, in the countryside we mostly have dirt roads). I have some custom stuff like yours and some more. In Mongolia, Land Cruiser is very popular because it is reliable and has very good off-road capabilities. I know it is not very popular in the US, but it is, and similar models are, the go-to choice for a reliable SUV.
I'm purely dumbfounded that you didn't walk your path first. If you are that unsure the depth, why would you... nevermind. Hopefully you and those who do the same thing have learned a lesson.
Also, I do appreciate the content but as much research you've done on vehicles, you could have used this chance as a what to do and not a what not to do video. Look forward to the next vid.
I concur. I appreciate what you put that vehicle through. NEXT add-on..... consider a fish/depth finder. Very well thought out video. Great job. Thanks so much.
Mr Fiest yeah, that's true, you always look for a "rock" mechanical cars, age doesn't matter, in the new cars, they do not last as much years as this, especially 350.000 miles
I watch your videos and think that I've seen you do the dumbest thing possible. Then you drive your Cruiser off an underwater ledge and into water of unknown depth. Bravo sir.
I had a 1989 Nissan Pathfinder SE, a 3 liter 5 speed, that, surprisingly, did the same (minus the big rocks in the water), with NO SNORKEL. No electrical issues. Stereo kept working fine during and after. No scratches because we didn't try rock climbing in water. Instead we drove at a beach in the middle of nowhere in the deep woods. The Pathfinder performed at least as good, if not better than what I saw in this video... No stopping, but drove slow the whole time, keeping steady momentum.
No off-roading video has ever made me cringe so hard. In spite of having over 300K miles that 100 series looked pristine. Walk your water crossings before you drive them and have a spotter. That is all.
Let's see, concerned about the old door seals filling the cabin up with water, not concerned about the old engine seals allowing water into the then engine. Huh...
I only hope Hoovie makes enough off this video (yeah, sure) to buy a replacement, because this River Cruiser is only going to be fit to be buried alongside his '83 LeBaron in the Car Wizard's backyard once the corrosion and electrical problems set in.
@@AintBigAintClever The old LR Disco to the old RR Sport but that's not my point. This car is "Lexified" so its a more luxurious version while still keeping the heritage of the Land Cruiser
Snorkels more useful for keeping the road dust out of the filter than it is for wading unless you are deliberately looking to float your car down river.
Source? because anytime i've used one and someone else on the same trip hasn't they've been emptying out their airfilter much more often than i had to if it's been dry and dusty. Many European trucks even come with snorkels from the factory and it isn't so they can go wading......
dude.. there are rules to off-roading. One is to never go alone. Two is to walk the trail first... and I'm curious to see how you get that water stink out of the carpet afterwards :)
Mans J, As an Aussie I can definitely say that I've broken the first of the rules for basic 4WDing hundreds of times, with water you don't break the second rule though. At the very least you poke the water with a stick as a depth gauge.
We bought a 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser when the birth of my little brother happened so we’d have enough seats. Me plus three siblings plus my mom and dad we just needed more than our 2003 impala. We didn’t know we bought a tank. I no longer live with them but my parents still have it to this day. 270k miles on it. Thing is unstoppable. It’s kind of trashed down for my dad driving it to work and the work he does but it’s still as mean as it was the day we got it. It towed a cow trailer that normally a big diesel tows full of cows and a bull. Sure other trucks and suvs might can do that but it did it without struggle. Felt like you were driving on a normal day without hauling anything. In addition to that it towed that trailer full of cows through a piece of land our cows had walked through so much it was like a little canyon. It’s a monster and I have offered to buy it from my dad who wants to sell it because it’s too much of a tank to just sell to some guy on the street.
This SUV is a MONSTER! I did not expect a Toyota to be an absolute BEAST. Holy gosh. Now I know why Toyota Land cruiser are one of the best selling off road vechicles
Zach Campbell Yeah that is why Toyota is used to cross Africa, South America, the Outback, and the go to for Overlanders while every Jeep they bring along is being towed for breaking u-joints or some electrical failure.
Hamza Amir btw the jeep is what won WWII... They toyota kept getting blown up. The new jeeps 2010 or higher are Shít but the pre 90's jeeps are tanks. The reason you see toyota doing that with there landcruiser is because there cheap and they are already built on that continent and don't have to import. Jeeps you have to import because majority of jeeps are in U.S.A
@ZachCampbell your an idiot go educate yourself, the reason the Land Cruiser is used in the most unforgiving places on the planet is its reliability and capability. You don't see people doing expeditions and crossing multiple continents in Jeeps I can send you a dozen or so examples of people doing that in Land Cruisers. Check it out th-cam.com/video/IXNDx_XgoKg/w-d-xo.html
I guess if it still worked, you can probably kiss the stock amplifier under the passenger seat goodbye... time for a marine-grade amplifier. :D Good show sir. Good show.
jimnys are insane. i go offroad with my uncle. he owns "93 grand cherokee 5.2 which has little mods for off roading. i can swear i saw jimny passing atleast 30-35 cm height of snow- hard ice mud mixed field where us and our group made it 40min effort. we broke tow(the ones attached to steel bumper) and bumper etc. and the funny thing is we were group 5-6 car atleast 2 people in a each car. that jimny was pack with a another cherokee with 3 people :D you had to see the face of cherokee guys in our group.
i never owned or drove one, but i just love these old little "jeep´s" as we used to call them back in the day when every offroad looking vehicle was a jeep even if it was a suzuki jimmy :D
Nope, your radio isnt working because you got the entire junction block behind the left kick panel completely submerged in water. You sir, have just opened Pandora’s electrical gremlin box, you will be chasing issues with that vehicle for the rest of the time you own it. I would know, I’m a Toyota tech and these vehicles had weird electrical issues even without being submerged up to the kick panels, sad really, it looked like it was in good shape and they are really good vehicles....not such a good submarine though.
I have to agree with you Tyler but what is the cost of cleaning the water out that was let in? Also did you damage anything apart from the speakers and radio?
9:18. I spy another Lexus LX470!.. or is that a GX model? 8:10. I guess the leather interior is ruined now lol Anyways, hope the undercarriage is okay, let's see what the Wizard can do!
A Z Yup. Here in the middle east. Corporations get very larg discounts for LC's or the Hilux. It's not really about the reliability but the availability. You don't care if the vehicle braking because you have so many of them at cheap prices.
A Z The basic trims has no special features or luxury and they still make them as basic as the early 90's too models. Less things to be broken and lighter vehicles.
my dad and I burried his '88 land cruiser in a developing neighborhood's water ditch. Had to leave it there overnight, water pouring in the interior, had to call a friend to get his truck to pull it out, and still ran until it got totalled. Can confirm, land cruiser is the best car ever made
If this was Doug Demuro, he would have used turn signals inside the water so the fish would know he's turning.
hahaha

I'd check the fluids in your transmission, transfer case, and differentials after going through deep water. Each of those usually have a breather tube, and most people don't know that you should extend those tubes to higher up on your vehicle if you plan on doing deep water crossing. Otherwise you get water in the cases and can ruin them.
Also the fuel tank. Those have some breathing tubes too
Hope he sees this comment
This too
You only get water in the diff if you go in with a hot diff
I his mind the Toyota land cruiser is the best nothing is going to happened to it ...
Snorkels are for so much more than water. They actually keep the the air box cleaner by sucking clean air from up high instead of down in the dust. Think more of a cold air intake. This the reason they are so popular in Australia. Great videos!
He actually noticed this in the next video, I think it was thanks to you.
Yeah but they also use them in water crossing a lot too. But multi purpose
fucken oath mate
I think Hoovies is almost forgetting the "LAND" in the name Land Cruiser.
i thought it was just 'swiping' part of the land rover name for popularity
Get a Unimog if you want o play in the water.
Coz it's a Lexus 470

Water Cruiser trademark
Never wheel in water with your windows up! If you roll and go under the power windows may not work. Be safe!
everybody knows the Land Cruiser is the best SUV in the world
you sir just proved that water is wet figuratively and literally.
And they will never let you down Always make sure you get home no matter how bad you treat them they keep running so faithful and true
No jeep cherokee
If you go to australia, we have the nissan patrol, better off road than the cruiser
no 1 water crossing rule in offroading. WALK YOUR PATH BEFORE YOU DRIVE IT

I am curious about the clean up process you went through after that
Sharif Sircar - He probably had a shower, and shorts into the Washing Machine

it's called a dehumidifier
I don't think he'll have to worry about it that much. He will pay somebody to clean it.
Rick James would a simple dehumidifier dry this car in such a way the moisture won't mold the upholstery?
Just make sure that you change the differential fluid in both axles after fording deep water. I moved my vent tubes up into my rollcage in my K5.
First thing i thought, it is very important.
why? if he got water in, the fluid would be leaking out before he went into the water.....They have these things called axle seals for a reason....
Muskoka Mike really.....
Muskoka Mike Wrong. Vent tubes need moving.
Muskoka Mike you are dead wrong.
Snorkels aren't necessarily intended for water they were created for the desert, to get cleaner intake air from up top rather than the dust trapped from inside the fender well, LOVE this video btw!

Power steering fluid: if he got water in there he wouldn't have power steering before because it works on hydraulic pressure.

I used to live on a flood plain and drove my F150 through water 1/3 of the way up the doors and never had a problem.
Muskoka Mike not exactly. The rear diff was covered so it got water in due to no remote breather.
Yeah, it’s not the worst idea

Rob Spagrenetti 1) Autism is a condition not a slur; 2) physics you dumb piece of shit (now that’s a slur).
If it rolled over he possibly wouldn't be able to open them. Also its incredibly hard to open a door, when its submerged in water. Water pressure
And the windows
Dude. You were SO lucky not to flip the LX in that water, or drown it. You should always test the depth first before driving through any type of deep water. Also, doesn’t it have a rear locking differential? If not, you need to install one if you’re doing more off-roading. Get some off-road training before you do any more in it. It’s very easy for stuff to go majorly wrong and injury to occur.
The LX variant did not have locking rear diff. The 98 99 LC did.
The whole point of the snorkel is so it doesn't drown..
@@banthapudhu9592 I know the electronics don't like water and water is bad for them. Doesn't take a genius to figure it out. "The point of the snorkel is so that the engine doesn't suck water into the air intake". AKA so the engine doesn't DROWN
@@banthapudhu9592 oh shut up. If this Truck is built to last 25 years, I'm sure it can handle a little bit of water
Alex Tran you’re a fucking moron
Man this has been a great series on the LX470. My neighbor owns a Land Cruiser restoration shop and he drives a lifted LX470 and his wife the same except for being stock height. Both are 1998’s and the same color as yours.
This is my next purchase!
Thanks so much for the GREAT content!
Owned a 96 Lexus LX450, 80 series. That thing had factory locking rear, center & front difs & could go through anything as long as the wheels were on the ground. I sold it with almost 300k hard miles on it & it ran as smooth as the day I bought it; truly amazing vehicle. Probably the best vehicle I've ever owned & miss it every time it snows or I get the urge to go off roading. Would like to relive those experiences, just don't think the 2017 Murano will cut it, haha.
The look on your face when It first sunk in was priceless😂
DHM family bruh I died laughing 😂
It really is the best SUV. Mine is 2008 LC200, 4.7l V8. Got 200k kms. I drive it every day, go off-road for weeks at a time every summer (where I am from, Mongolia, in the countryside we mostly have dirt roads). I have some custom stuff like yours and some more. In Mongolia, Land Cruiser is very popular because it is reliable and has very good off-road capabilities. I know it is not very popular in the US, but it is, and similar models are, the go-to choice for a reliable SUV.
I'm purely dumbfounded that you didn't walk your path first. If you are that unsure the depth, why would you... nevermind. Hopefully you and those who do the same thing have learned a lesson.
Also, I do appreciate the content but as much research you've done on vehicles, you could have used this chance as a what to do and not a what not to do video. Look forward to the next vid.
Cuz hes hoovie. Not thinking is pretty much his brand.
I concur. I appreciate what you put that vehicle through. NEXT add-on..... consider a fish/depth finder. Very well thought out video. Great job. Thanks so much.
I skimmed your comment and read "depth finder" as "deep fryer"... So I went back to reread it because I was wondering where you were going with that.
Awesome. Glad you didn’t ruin it. Take it straight to your detailer for carpet extraction.
Tis but a splash of water
Melvin Rojas Yes. Why do you keep asking me about my hair though? You asked another question about 2 weeks back.
looks just like Kenny G's signature haircut
non car guys be like
"lamborghini urus is better and the best suv in the world"
Mr Fiest yeah, that's true, you always look for a "rock" mechanical cars, age doesn't matter, in the new cars, they do not last as much years as this, especially 350.000 miles
I watch your videos and think that I've seen you do the dumbest thing possible. Then you drive your Cruiser off an underwater ledge and into water of unknown depth. Bravo sir.
The best car ever TOYOTA power🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
I had a 1989 Nissan Pathfinder SE, a 3 liter 5 speed, that, surprisingly, did the same (minus the big rocks in the water), with NO SNORKEL. No electrical issues. Stereo kept working fine during and after. No scratches because we didn't try rock climbing in water. Instead we drove at a beach in the middle of nowhere in the deep woods. The Pathfinder performed at least as good, if not better than what I saw in this video... No stopping, but drove slow the whole time, keeping steady momentum.
No off-roading video has ever made me cringe so hard. In spite of having over 300K miles that 100 series looked pristine. Walk your water crossings before you drive them and have a spotter. That is all.
Clearly this guy has no knowledge of offroad driving
💯 % sure he did, you must be new to the channel. Hoovie loves his dramatics
This. Never cross water you didn't spot before.
I didnt think his ideas could get any stupider but of course they did...
Title: Here's Why the Toyota Land Cruiser Is the BEST SUV in the World
Car: Lexus
They are the same vehicle. The Lexus version is just more luxurious.
Lexus is the luxury car company Toyota owns
Alex - apparently that went over lots of peoples head. Lol.
I get it.
land cruiser - squidward
Lexus - squilium
Hahaha
YES
It's the same thing!! The Lexus LX470 is basically more luxury version of the Land Cruiser 🤦🏾♂️
I was biting my nails watching this. Glad you made it out ok! That Land Cruiser is a beast!
my dads land rover was a beast, unfortunetly if guzzeled fuel
at 14/18 city/highway, so does the Land Cruiser!
the problem with this is,, the driver.
Bone stock 100 series is way more capable than the idiot driving it! Spend some money on a quality off road driving school.
I'd love to do something like this but never to my own car. That's what Tyler's for
So much suspense! The look of horror on your face was priceless.
harrismi7 it's because he has no experience in off roading. Just another wannabe making content they have no idea or experience doing.
Who cares? This guy is honest to the core and it's entertaining to see him fail.
harrismi7 lol
Lexus SUV enthusiast just hung themselves!😂😂
Great job. I had a 2000 lx470. And was my favorite vehicles I have ever owned.
Doug de Hoovie
PLEASE DON'T INSULT DADDY DOUG
Let's see, concerned about the old door seals filling the cabin up with water, not concerned about the old engine seals allowing water into the then engine. Huh...
I only hope Hoovie makes enough off this video (yeah, sure) to buy a replacement, because this River Cruiser is only going to be fit to be buried alongside his '83 LeBaron in the Car Wizard's backyard once the corrosion and electrical problems set in.
Fun is rarely smart or safe. WTG Tyler!
Great video, glad you did it! You just leveled up, my friend! Now I know what would happen if I did it, so I never have to do it!
The Toyota Land Cruiser identity crisis edition
Gerben Smits - I don't understand ?
It's this generation I swear
Its basically A Lexus Land Cruiser. Much like the Range Rover to Land Rover
@@VintageRKO so which Land Rover model is a Range Rover based on?
@@AintBigAintClever The old LR Disco to the old RR Sport but that's not my point. This car is "Lexified" so its a more luxurious version while still keeping the heritage of the Land Cruiser
I’m curious of Jeremy Clarkson find this video
Snorkels more useful for keeping the road dust out of the filter than it is for wading unless you are deliberately looking to float your car down river.
popuptoaster most people overlook this fact. Makes a huge difference when following your buddies through dusty deserts
Rob Spagrenetti sounds like a personal problem Mr. Spaghetti
Johnny Dillard dont see whats personal about a bunxh of what in
Rob Spagrenetti You should probably get stuck in a desert with no gas, water and food.
Source? because anytime i've used one and someone else on the same trip hasn't they've been emptying out their airfilter much more often than i had to if it's been dry and dusty. Many European trucks even come with snorkels from the factory and it isn't so they can go wading......
dude.. there are rules to off-roading. One is to never go alone. Two is to walk the trail first... and I'm curious to see how you get that water stink out of the carpet afterwards :)
Mike Dancy This! Talk about preparation!
Mans J, As an Aussie I can definitely say that I've broken the first of the rules for basic 4WDing hundreds of times, with water you don't break the second rule though. At the very least you poke the water with a stick as a depth gauge.
Flush the carpet with clean water a while, let it dry properly, and the smell will be gone
We bought a 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser when the birth of my little brother happened so we’d have enough seats. Me plus three siblings plus my mom and dad we just needed more than our 2003 impala. We didn’t know we bought a tank. I no longer live with them but my parents still have it to this day. 270k miles on it. Thing is unstoppable. It’s kind of trashed down for my dad driving it to work and the work he does but it’s still as mean as it was the day we got it. It towed a cow trailer that normally a big diesel tows full of cows and a bull. Sure other trucks and suvs might can do that but it did it without struggle. Felt like you were driving on a normal day without hauling anything. In addition to that it towed that trailer full of cows through a piece of land our cows had walked through so much it was like a little canyon. It’s a monster and I have offered to buy it from my dad who wants to sell it because it’s too much of a tank to just sell to some guy on the street.
You’ve outdone yourself here Hoovie....Best video ever!
This SUV is a MONSTER! I did not expect a Toyota to be an absolute BEAST. Holy gosh. Now I know why Toyota Land cruiser are one of the best selling off road vechicles
aayan goverski lol no have u heard of a jeep. My ford crown Vic can do this
slickkapone 310k it is a 1985 jeep cj7 and it ain't highway miles.
Zach Campbell Yeah that is why Toyota is used to cross Africa, South America, the Outback, and the go to for Overlanders while every Jeep they bring along is being towed for breaking u-joints or some electrical failure.
Hamza Amir btw the jeep is what won WWII... They toyota kept getting blown up. The new jeeps 2010 or higher are Shít but the pre 90's jeeps are tanks. The reason you see toyota doing that with there landcruiser is because there cheap and they are already built on that continent and don't have to import. Jeeps you have to import because majority of jeeps are in U.S.A
@ZachCampbell your an idiot go educate yourself, the reason the Land Cruiser is used in the most unforgiving places on the planet is its reliability and capability. You don't see people doing expeditions and crossing multiple continents in Jeeps I can send you a dozen or so examples of people doing that in Land Cruisers. Check it out th-cam.com/video/IXNDx_XgoKg/w-d-xo.html
After all these years, still an awesome video to watch!
I guess if it still worked, you can probably kiss the stock amplifier under the passenger seat goodbye... time for a marine-grade amplifier. :D Good show sir. Good show.
i´ll bet a suzuki jimmy could do just the same :D
jimnys are insane. i go offroad with my uncle. he owns "93 grand cherokee 5.2 which has little mods for off roading. i can swear i saw jimny passing atleast 30-35 cm height of snow- hard ice mud mixed field where us and our group made it 40min effort. we broke tow(the ones attached to steel bumper) and bumper etc. and the funny thing is we were group 5-6 car atleast 2 people in a each car. that jimny was pack with a another cherokee with 3 people :D you had to see the face of cherokee guys in our group.
That's such a Suzuki owner thing to say lol... no hate, I love my zooks
i never owned or drove one, but i just love these old little "jeep´s" as we used to call them back in the day when every offroad looking vehicle was a jeep even if it was a suzuki jimmy :D
You can almost fit a zook in the back of a 100
Nope, your radio isnt working because you got the entire junction block behind the left kick panel completely submerged in water. You sir, have just opened Pandora’s electrical gremlin box, you will be chasing issues with that vehicle for the rest of the time you own it. I would know, I’m a Toyota tech and these vehicles had weird electrical issues even without being submerged up to the kick panels, sad really, it looked like it was in good shape and they are really good vehicles....not such a good submarine though.
You sir are a condescending jackass....
I don't think he cares hoovie is rich... his dad owns millions in assets and eventually that will be all his and he runs his company too...
C P do you know much about scion tcs?
Finally someone who actually knows what they’re talking about 👏👏
Discovery Off-road thanks?
Hit the “Diff-Loc” button man come on..
I didnt expect this video to be this cool!!!! AWESOME
This was a white knuckle thriller ride. Loved it. Thanks man.
This is the dumbest thing you've done since you burried a car on the Wizzard's backyard 😂😂😂
REEEEEEEEEE
I have to agree with you Tyler but what is the cost of cleaning the water out that was let in? Also did you damage anything apart from the speakers and radio?
As a snorkel haver myself, I'll just say, if you keep the ECUs dry, you're fine.
RCR Voice 'Which SUV is the best SUV?'
Oh god, the electronics are going to get destroyed.
Definitely putting a snorkel on my 95 FZJ80, thanks a bunch for testing it and for sharing your awesome video
9:18. I spy another Lexus LX470!.. or is that a GX model?
8:10. I guess the leather interior is ruined now lol
Anyways, hope the undercarriage is okay, let's see what the Wizard can do!
It's a Prado.
Its a lexus lx570
acalthu they aren’t sold in the US market
It's LX 570 what are you on please check @9:58.
BuJasem Almuhairi Wait, which car are you talking about?
You got the snorkel but did you get sealed wheel bearings? Your bearings will be shot in no time.
David Keleshian and sealing the engine’s ventilation and vacum systems
David Keleshian , the great thing about wheel bearing is , you can grease them ....
Sealed wheel bearings? First I've heard of that. But you should let your car cool before going in.
I love your 80’s intro music and landscape with saturation
If something bad doesnt happen to Tyler is no a hoovies garaje video :v
Land Cruiser is indeed the best off-road and reliable vehicle of the world. No wonder they are the choosen vehicles of UN, United Nations.
or maybe Toyota gives UN a nice discount so you can think what you just mentioned
A Z Yup. Here in the middle east. Corporations get very larg discounts for LC's or the Hilux. It's not really about the reliability but the availability. You don't care if the vehicle braking because you have so many of them at cheap prices.
IbrAlHadede.Yuup..and it makes perfect sense too.
The UN?, that’s a thumbs up?
A Z The basic trims has no special features or luxury and they still make them as basic as the early 90's too models. Less things to be broken and lighter vehicles.
So the snorkel passed the test, worth every penny...awesome job Hoovie!
my dad and I burried his '88 land cruiser in a developing neighborhood's water ditch. Had to leave it there overnight, water pouring in the interior, had to call a friend to get his truck to pull it out, and still ran until it got totalled. Can confirm, land cruiser is the best car ever made
OH almost forgot to mention. After it got totalled, we DROVE it to the junkyard. Without a problem.
Hoovie is awesome!
