Hype Tempo have you ever been to America? About 30% of the cars are domestic and from the 90s. I’m not saying Japanese cars aren’t more reliable, I’m just saying that it’s not that impressive lol.
Agree, don't paint them the same color as the truck. The original design of the vehicle (as a whole) is consistent and proportional; that's why it's good looking (generally speaking). When you add all the aftermarket stuff you will disrupt that, making it a different kind of vehicle. Painting all the extras to match will be an attempt to bring it back to a consistent design but it will not and can not be proportional. It's gonna be damn ugly. When you break traditional proportions you have to own it. It's going to be an expedition rig; let it be one.
Your videos really hit home for me Im a huge fan of taking old cars and blowing a bunch of money on them just to have something different from everything else on the road keep up the great work!
You NAILED the newer Toyota/Lexus design language with Predator. I couldn't figure out why I hated the designs so much and that's it! It's like VW/Audi and their stubborn cling to the Edsel grill. Why? Why? Why?
This is going to be one of your best builds! These trucks have a huge following, build it and take it to MOAB. Add lockers and the front differential is a week point. Do not forget the differential drop kit to keep the front axles in line after you lift it.Subscribed!
I think you should follow your design instinct and paint the bumper and other body parts to match the truck color. Looking forward to seeing this finished. Have fun, Tyler.
druid Yes, in the US market, although the foreign market Toyota Land Cruiser HZJ105, which had a 4.2L inline six turbo diesel, manual transmission, solid front and rear axles (all non J105's were independent front suspension), was far cooler. Plus, it was also a stripper model with no creature comforts, barn doors, no chrome, no black plastic crap on the bottom, and vinyl seats. The BJ73 is also really cool.
Over the past 12 months Ive had a rash of people rubber necking my car in traffic and rolling up on me at the gas pump. They often go on their way looking puzzled when they finally spy the Rav4 badges. Mine is an odd duck 5spd manual,full time 4x4 (60f-40r bias split), optional e-locking transfer case (50f-50r no bias), limited slip rear dif with 5:13 gear ratio (front dif as well), extra oem sheetmetal skid protection , 5 door Rav4 are pretty unusual with this drivetrain combination. They sit a smidge taller than the fwd examples and even the 4x4 automatics. Then throw in the optional oem flared wheel opening mouldings my Rav4 wears. Im not sure what people think it is but theyve become curious over the last year or so.
Mark Kibbe the HZJ105 is basically the same shape as the one shown in the video, just with almost no luxury features, black bumpers and a snorkel. An amazing off-roader. Never really liked the J73 though
Looks like you're about to take a perfectly good hooptie, and drive it up the modification Pyramid of Fail. A big congrats to you! Can't wait to see the results.
My dad had a 2003 Corolla that was built about 20km away from our house. It also had over 375,000km. My mom wouldn't let him get rid of it as long as it still ran but he hated it lol. He finally sold it after they divorced. Toyotas last forever XD
jeb419 some guy came up to him in a parking lot and offered him $1,000. He took the money and went and bought a 2016 Elantra new. Though he only used that money as the down payment XD
My dad had a Corolla too. Apart from dealer servicing and gas the only other expense was a voltage regualator replacement. The regulator cost a grand total of ........$2.00. Ten years of pleasure. He upscaled to aHyundai Elantra.
I absolutely love these Lx470s/Land Cruisers. My mom has had her 05 Land Cruiser for 14 years with 250,000 miles on it. My Sri Lankan friend has an 03 LX470 with 340,000 miles on it. I’ve driven these car thousands of miles and I think they have great personality.
After talking about how new Lexus vehicles look like the predator, I get a new Lexus commercial right after. Made me smile knowing Lexus is contributing to Hoovie's monetization for this video after that glorious montage!
That Lexus is going to be badass. Comparing Nakamichi to Bose, H/K or Beats hurts my pile of Nakamichi cassette decks. That brand did some brilliant stuff. H/K did too, up to 1990 or so. But after, brrrrr...
HOOVIE!! Ok. Here's what ya do for the bumper. Bedliner it or whichever brand name you choose, then paint OVER that with rattle can color match paint and gloss clear and you'll be in good shape.
Been going a year to complete my OME lift/knuckle rebuild/undercarriage clean-up on my FJ60. Compliments to my other nine black holes I own. I had a wizard and too many people found out about him.
I feel like you looked at a basic "overlanding" checkbox and just bought everything that was there. Idk what type of trips you're trying to do where every one of those pieces will be necessary.
I am so hating you for this, this is my ultimate dream truck. You are doing a great build and a classy build. I have a 2006 Tundra crew 4x4 and i am going to start doing a build too, i just rolled a 138,000 and its running strong. I run the Same BFG AT’s tires and they are great good ride on the street and pretty good off road. I have almost 30k miles and they have lots of life. I have been rotating them every 6K oil changes miles. I am looking forward to more videos , thank you.
Hammer Smith what video evidence leads you to that conclusion? He’s so different from everyone. He has like 20 random used hoopties... and doesn’t blog haha
Hammer Smith haha I meant vlog, not blog my bad. Yeah I mean but he does it in his own hoovie way. Vlogging is like what Parker from VV does. Hoovie doesn’t do that very often. He is undeniably different in my opinion which is why I love his videos. Just inquiring as to why you made that comment man, didn’t think your response needed to include a personal attack on my intellect lol. Thanks for another great video hoovie btw :)
He's like that drink you had that one time that was eh ok but kinda weird.. Then you had it again because it was offered to you, then randomly again until you realize "wait... I kinda like this now!" lol
I appreciate your honesty about the snorkel, I feel like a large proportion of people that have snorkels on their vehicles don't actually use them… But they do look freaking cool!
the last 7 minutes of this video were very satisfying for me cause you basically fixed all the things i was thinking for the first 7 mins a land cruiser just looks naked to me without a bullbar the snorkel and the rock sliders just give it that extra touch. but i don't think painting them beige is the best look stick with black or maybe chrome.
If you leave those parts black they will actually balance themselves out with the rest of the vehicle. If you paint them it will be unique but if you ever go rock climbing, expect deep scratches in that fresh paint, just something else to consider Hoovie.
The Lexus lx470 and the Toyota Land Cruiser from 98-07 I think are one of the best made period. The styling was good not over styled and their quality of their interiors is one of the best
Keep it all black!! I drive an 04 land cruiser that’s beige and i have black sliders on mine and they look great. I’m saving up for that bumper too! So jealous that you’re able to buy it all just like that, especially not knowing anything about it really.
This is going to be an awesome project man! Keep the rock-slider and bush bumper black, and get some black fender flares and black roof rack, it will all tie together with the black snorkel
I would paint-rino the bumpers to match the Toyota. When you cut the hole in the fender you should keep the metal you remove and get a good bodyshop to patch the hole in the rear lift gate with it. That would be much easier imo than trying to find one and then paint to match. Great video !!
i bought a discovery 2 for $1000 3 years ago and its leaked anti freeze the whole time and the power steering pump went out and i put mud tires on it. Pretty reliable besides having to check the anti freeze every few days
Mine has 162k miles, going strong although not without frequent maintenance! Come to Detroit anytime you want to get warm and snuggly with my LR Disco 2 for a vid, Mr Hoover!
Super stoked for you Hoovie! My first whip was a 92 Yota LC back before i knew much about cars/trucks haha. See those J's on your feet too #CarGuySneakerGuy
Shekhar Moona not just Doug... no one should purchase one. Like a great looking girlfriend that you love to take out and show off, but she's draining your bank account day by day....
Theres one in California, its the same color, they want $550 for it they will probably ship it. Or you could get one cheaper and closer if you didn't mind painting it. Car-part
2:42 Starts right up... My mom bought a new 2006 Toyota Sequoia (same engine) and we sold it in 2015 with 97k miles on it. She bought a used 2012 GMC Yukon XL and just after the 3 year ownership experience and 77k miles, we have put more money into this car then the Sequoia ever had! I truly believe Japanese cars are built better than American ones! I have no clue why we got rid of that car!
Words cannot describe the pain I feel as I see him unwrap everything that I NEED for my 80 series build (other than the suspension, I have that done at least)
The new LX's are still dope though. Good tech, comfortable, and can actually haul off road. Aftermarket bumper will solve the who facia issue. Good trucks
"Renowned from adventurers to terrorists."
Shit Tyler, I guess when you're right you're right.
i actually thought that the gap between adventurers to terrorists isnt that big if you think about it, i mean its probably exciting... in some ways
I just can't believe you said it but I'm glad he did hahaha
Everything a Hoovie video needs: A hooptie, the car wizard and mic problems.
..and music from an 80's style cheesy employee orientation video as the intro/outro
Please give the wizard a microphone...
Original Toyota. Still going strong
RoyalKingA73
If the girlfriends Rav4 was AWD then he picked the wrong Toyota for expedition work.
Lol it’s from the 90s. Don’t be too proud.
yea lets see 90s american cars last with out lots of work to keep it going
Hype Tempo have you ever been to America? About 30% of the cars are domestic and from the 90s. I’m not saying Japanese cars aren’t more reliable, I’m just saying that it’s not that impressive lol.
Hype Tempo I have a 98 Grand Cherokee and all I do is change the oil and put fuel in it. Still running strong with almost 216k
Is this Matt Farrah's million mile Lexus?
Jeremy Saevn nope, wrong TH-cam channel dingus! (A fellow RCR fan I see, if you don’t get what video got that RCR quote from, you fail!)
THIS IS NOT MATT FARRAHS MILLION MILE LEXUS
This is not Matt Farah's million mile Lexus. *thick Pennsylvanian accent*
digitalrailroader its a joke.
Engineer six but is it Matt Farrah’s million mile Lexus?
I was waiting for "and then I'm going to give it a Doug score"
The piece that you will cut out for snorkel you can weld on the hole at the hatch.
jajesam sigurno yeah, that'd be a fantastic place for an air intake. It'd get loads of air 👍🏽
Jacob Nichols he is saying to take the peice of metal that he cuts out for the snorkel and use it to cover the whole in the tailgate
jajesam sigurno I was thinking the same thing!
jajesam sigurno that’s a good idea, actually
@@jacobn3160 read carefully again what he wrote.
They say in Australia that a Landrover is great for going into the Outback...but if you want to come out again get a Landcruiser.
I see you stopped detailing your cars after the amg was stolen
Wimly D just one of the few wise decisions he's made😂
He got the NSX detailed there too and they messed up the coil packs by throwing water on the engine
When did his car get stolen?
Waste of money putting all that sh*t on that old huge piece of junk.
The Land Cruiser is probably the best SUV ever made.
Don't paint the bumpers and sliders body color, leave them black unless you want to have not only the cheapest LX470 but the ugliest too!
Agree, don't paint them the same color as the truck. The original design of the vehicle (as a whole) is consistent and proportional; that's why it's good looking (generally speaking). When you add all the aftermarket stuff you will disrupt that, making it a different kind of vehicle. Painting all the extras to match will be an attempt to bring it back to a consistent design but it will not and can not be proportional. It's gonna be damn ugly. When you break traditional proportions you have to own it. It's going to be an expedition rig; let it be one.
Paint to match the lower cladding...
You got him to skip? He's not a wizard, he's a saint
Quality Japanese engineering instead of promoting cheap Chinese Watches.
LOLOLOL
Good luck with your movement lmao... Scandinavia is the last place on Earth that will promote nationalism.
Greatest name I've seen all week
Lol while he's wearing a Rolex GMT Master II
"Made in CHINA"
Your videos really hit home for me Im a huge fan of taking old cars and blowing a bunch of money on them just to have something different from everything else on the road keep up the great work!
Still waiting for Bentley
You NAILED the newer Toyota/Lexus design language with Predator. I couldn't figure out why I hated the designs so much and that's it! It's like VW/Audi and their stubborn cling to the Edsel grill. Why? Why? Why?
Finalllllyyyy a landcruiser video, been waiting for it since Ages when i used to be a sperm
2:06 Tyler the type of guy to finger his car and make a struggling moaning noise right after taking the Tetanus shot.
Your videos are better than Doug’s in my opinion :-)
SashaUAE2020
The last guy who said that ended up with 2 junked MR-2's
SashaUAE2020 nah
They are not comparable i think
Doug is fucking shitty
A nissan corolla on the other hand, best car ever built!
This is going to be one of your best builds! These trucks have a huge following, build it and take it to MOAB. Add lockers and the front differential is a week point. Do not forget the differential drop kit to keep the front axles in line after you lift it.Subscribed!
hoovie dont lie. you prob forgot you had it yourself lol
Oh hey. Might wanna detail that filthy dashboard.
I think you should follow your design instinct and paint the bumper and other body parts to match the truck color. Looking forward to seeing this finished. Have fun, Tyler.
Best looking Cruiser/LX ever made
druid especially in pearl white with the facelift
druid Yes, in the US market, although the foreign market Toyota Land Cruiser HZJ105, which had a 4.2L inline six turbo diesel, manual transmission, solid front and rear axles (all non J105's were independent front suspension), was far cooler.

fzj80 is way better
Mark Kibbe the HZJ105 is basically the same shape as the one shown in the video, just with almost no luxury features, black bumpers and a snorkel. An amazing off-roader. Never really liked the J73 though
6:33 the funniest shit ive ever seen , i love your chanel so much Hoovies Garage ,been here for a long time , i enjoy every video you make :)
This is my favourite automotive channel as the videos are not repetitive. Well done! Keep it up!
i bet that first shot, was shot on a gopro and cropped in haha
I saw this channel described today as being "Doug DeMuro for people with no attention span". That made me chuckle :)
for god sakes give wizard a mic!
Looks like you're about to take a perfectly good hooptie, and drive it up the modification Pyramid of Fail. A big congrats to you! Can't wait to see the results.
I kind of want a v8 Lexus now.
Hey, Hoovie! You have a great collection of achievable cars and you present them in a funny and relatable manner. Props to ya!
My dad had a 2003 Corolla that was built about 20km away from our house. It also had over 375,000km. My mom wouldn't let him get rid of it as long as it still ran but he hated it lol. He finally sold it after they divorced. Toyotas last forever XD
Hamilton Dashcammer Longer than most marriages.
So you're saying your dad traded in for a newer model???
jeb419 some guy came up to him in a parking lot and offered him $1,000. He took the money and went and bought a 2016 Elantra new. Though he only used that money as the down payment XD
Bmac 814 haha that's so true XD
My dad had a Corolla too. Apart from dealer servicing and gas the only other expense was a voltage regualator replacement. The regulator cost a grand total of ........$2.00. Ten years of pleasure. He upscaled to aHyundai Elantra.
I love those old Land Cruisers! I can't wait to see how it turns out. My vote is for leaving the bumper and sliders black.
Hoovie is so down to earth even though he’s rich. That’s rare.
Bullet Tooth Tony he is not rich. He owns around 10 cars under $10k, and lives in one of the least expensive states in America
Jake Stoler he is Rich you idiot, he owns a chain of restaurants.
*his dad
that means nothing you idiot, a landlord/owner for 3-5 restaurants probably net 40g each, if that. 200k is not rich by any means...
To buy and maintain all of those cars would be heaps. He can't be that poor.
I absolutely love these Lx470s/Land Cruisers. My mom has had her 05 Land Cruiser for 14 years with 250,000 miles on it. My Sri Lankan friend has an 03 LX470 with 340,000 miles on it. I’ve driven these car thousands of miles and I think they have great personality.
i'll take reliability over personality any day
sam They have personality, I think most americans dont get what the Land Cruiser or this case LX470 is all about.
After talking about how new Lexus vehicles look like the predator, I get a new Lexus commercial right after. Made me smile knowing Lexus is contributing to Hoovie's monetization for this video after that glorious montage!
That Lexus is going to be badass.

HOOVIE!! Ok. Here's what ya do for the bumper. Bedliner it or whichever brand name you choose, then paint OVER that with rattle can color match paint and gloss clear and you'll be in good shape.
Wizard should start a vlog where he talks about how to fix things on cars and how to do lifts or change oil I’d sub in a second 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Let it be black, it'll look lit with the snorkel and all, the look will be epic
So bad ass that your putting high dollar merch on a bottom dollar lexus. True hoovie fashion!
Tyler, you have the right idea with beige rhino liner color on those off-road bits. Way classier than black.
I love my cheap Land cruiser
But I hate my expensive Asian Girlfriend
@spearofpower isn't that the case for most women around the world
Stop paying her silly! Did she leave you yet or are you still with her?
This is my favorite channel to watch, keep up the good work Tyler!
Leave the bumper Black, Please... And the thing you thought was a license plate mount is the Winch plate/mount. Ugh leave the protection parts BLACK.
Joey Shreve I concur
For some reason I want to see them tan
+NiggaNig420 chronicboy Simmer down Doug.
Hoovie videos are such a treat to watch!
I like where this is going.
Been going a year to complete my OME lift/knuckle rebuild/undercarriage clean-up on my FJ60. Compliments to my other nine black holes I own. I had a wizard and too many people found out about him.
I feel like you looked at a basic "overlanding" checkbox and just bought everything that was there. Idk what type of trips you're trying to do where every one of those pieces will be necessary.
Do you think this is a game?
I am so hating you for this, this is my ultimate dream truck. You are doing a great build and a classy build.
I have a 2006 Tundra crew 4x4 and i am going to start doing a build too, i just rolled a 138,000 and its running strong. I run the Same BFG AT’s tires and they are great good ride on the street and pretty good off road. I have almost 30k miles and they have lots of life. I have been rotating them every 6K oil changes miles.
I am looking forward to more videos , thank you.
I barely like your Channel. But I still watch it because Information.
He barely likes you, but allows you to watch because subs.
Tell us more about the shampoo bottle and the medium pace.
Hammer Smith what video evidence leads you to that conclusion? He’s so different from everyone. He has like 20 random used hoopties... and doesn’t blog haha
Hammer Smith haha I meant vlog, not blog my bad. Yeah I mean but he does it in his own hoovie way. Vlogging is like what Parker from VV does. Hoovie doesn’t do that very often.

I appreciate your honesty about the snorkel, I feel like a large proportion of people that have snorkels on their vehicles don't actually use them… But they do look freaking cool!
snorkels are for dusty conditions NOT going in deep water, so desert terrain is where snorkels come in handy
I love the way the new Lexus's look... I don't know why others don't.
Looking forward to seeing the Land Cruiser all blinged out.
Taco Tuesday Aftermath should be the name of your Mariah Carey cover band
favorite built yet,cant wait to see it done. I will even take it off your hands after you need money for your next hooptie.
I like it when Tyler takes foolish decisions and talks like an immature 12 year old.... 🤣 love u tayler
Hoovie, thank you for the great content. I am thinking about getting one for my GF. I like your excitement and the way you geek out about your cars.
I’m literally in science class watching this
Okay, now I’m home I can watch this whole video
the last 7 minutes of this video were very satisfying for me cause you basically fixed all the things i was thinking for the first 7 mins a land cruiser just looks naked to me without a bullbar the snorkel and the rock sliders just give it that extra touch. but i don't think painting them beige is the best look stick with black or maybe chrome.
Please daily this
The mpg will burn a hole in his pocket
Can't wait to see it finished! I'll off-road race ya with my stock 2wd Yukon! Haha
How dare you compare Nakamichi to Blose and Beets! Nakamichi kit is in a completely different league.
If you leave those parts black they will actually balance themselves out with the rest of the vehicle. If you paint them it will be unique but if you ever go rock climbing, expect deep scratches in that fresh paint, just something else to consider Hoovie.
Can you give more info about the prius
The Lexus lx470 and the Toyota Land Cruiser from 98-07 I think are one of the best made period. The styling was good not over styled and their quality of their interiors is one of the best
Is it just me or does Doug look like the love child of Jay Leno & Ruth Buzzy??
Keep it all black!! I drive an 04 land cruiser that’s beige and i have black sliders on mine and they look great. I’m saving up for that bumper too! So jealous that you’re able to buy it all just like that, especially not knowing anything about it really.
Aw cmon thats the only one of your cars that I actually like....
I love the land cruiser videos please keep them coming
This is the best stupid purchase you've made.
really is . I want it
This is going to be an awesome project man! Keep the rock-slider and bush bumper black, and get some black fender flares and black roof rack, it will all tie together with the black snorkel
Nice Toyota
I would paint-rino the bumpers to match the Toyota. When you cut the hole in the fender you should keep the metal you remove and get a good bodyshop to patch the hole in the rear lift gate with it. That would be much easier imo than trying to find one and then paint to match. Great video !!
Next you need to buy a Land Rover Discovery 2. You know why
i bought a discovery 2 for $1000 3 years ago and its leaked anti freeze the whole time and the power steering pump went out and i put mud tires on it. Pretty reliable besides having to check the anti freeze every few days
Mine has 162k miles, going strong although not without frequent maintenance! Come to Detroit anytime you want to get warm and snuggly with my LR Disco 2 for a vid, Mr Hoover!
I've had 3 discoveries, currently own 1 D2. They're good trucks; not for everyone (most people for that matter).
Finally another Lexus Land cruiser video!
Mariah used to be the best!
Super stoked for you Hoovie! My first whip was a 92 Yota LC back before i knew much about cars/trucks haha. See those J's on your feet too #CarGuySneakerGuy
My friend owns one and he loves it(I dont though)
Best SUV ever made bro!
" no knife for you" you got to admire a trully wise wizard.
Doug should have never purchased that Range Rover. Lol
Shekhar Moona not just Doug... no one should purchase one. Like a great looking girlfriend that you love to take out and show off, but she's draining your bank account day by day....
jcasidy1 sounds like my ex-wife. Lol
I’ve always wanted a LC I cant wait to see how your Lex comes out with all the add-ons! Hurry Car Wizard we need to see the completion...
Here's why the Toyota Land Cruiser is worth..wait, wrong channel
Nice to see the all the Aussie parts :-) G'day from Western Australia
Try car-part . com for the hatch
Theres one in California, its the same color, they want $550 for it they will probably ship it. Or you could get one cheaper and closer if you didn't mind painting it. Car-part
I love where you are going with this project! Very cool.
Color match the front!
I just picked up a 2000 LX. The thing drives like new. These cars are amazing
Wait you have a daughter?!?!
That spot on Arnold impersonation is marked as my favorite Hoovie moment ever

*NOTIFICATION SQUAADD*
2:42 Starts right up... My mom bought a new 2006 Toyota Sequoia (same engine) and we sold it in 2015 with 97k miles on it. She bought a used 2012 GMC Yukon XL and just after the 3 year ownership experience and 77k miles, we have put more money into this car then the Sequoia ever had! I truly believe Japanese cars are built better than American ones! I have no clue why we got rid of that car!
dude when I subscribed you had 9k subscribers, now you have 231k! Congratulations! I love your videos!
I like your videos and commentary. Keep it up!
Words cannot describe the pain I feel as I see him unwrap everything that I NEED for my 80 series build (other than the suspension, I have that done at least)
The new LX's are still dope though. Good tech, comfortable, and can actually haul off road. Aftermarket bumper will solve the who facia issue. Good trucks
