What I love is that you're not afraid to drive it hard. Sure you broke the front end but you weren't going to die wondering. You just pointed it up that hill and buried the accelerator pedal.
These new patrols are a weapon even when stock. 300kw/560nm stock. I mean I know that's not at the wheels like the figure you get at a dyno, but still there's been many stock commodore and falcon V8's with less power then that. Never thought I would see the day where you would pick a Nissan over a Toyota 200 or 300.
@@brentonsmith4077 yeah most the content I've seen of the 300s are basically brand new vehicles and they hav'nt been driven enough or never driven off-road to know what goes wrong with them. The fact Reben is driving the Y62 instead of the 300 which he has both cars says something.
@@Jwalker76 I own a prado Kakadu the prado inside is the same size as the 300, the thing that used to set apart the 200 was the size and the V8 it’s the 300 has lost both. I don’t see if lasting long in the market with American utes here.
@@brentonsmith4077 Prado is a top rig. I did see a clip of some mechanics looking over a new 300 and they weren't impressed with the design. Think they had a plastic catch can under the car where you would normally have a spare wheel, and one mechanic said that is going to have a run in with a rock for sure where its placed.
You Australians need to have warehouses in the USA for the awesome accessories you have for the Y62. We don't get the proper Patrol Y62 (Armada in the USA), but I'm betting there's a market for all the off-road accessories here.
Point it anywhere and watch stuff break. Seems like now days its all about who has more kws and bigger tyres. Just remember any given track anywhere in Oz has been driven by 4wds that have 80kw and 31” tyres.
Great reviews Reuben, thinking of going from my LC 200 to a Y62 and as i tow a 3.5T van do you recommend a GVM upgrade and I dont know what is a 450 extension you talk about ie what does that involve and cost
Yes, absolutely. The 450mm is for the chassis extension. Usually preferred if a customer wants a longer tray. There are options and variations that are best discussed directly to you. Please contact DMW office if you would like to run through your build. We’ll get one of the team to assist you. Thanks.
I’m a Toyota fan but every time this beauty is around, me neck start to hurt from turning my head. It’s too good looking, unique, and it’s also supercharged. Watching it more and more makes me to want to get one. 👏👍🤙
I rekon its an absolute weapon with just the tray but it just looks like it’s too heavy and struggles when you put the canopy on. It just goes through cvs like they’re cardboard.
When did the Y62 have a solid rear axle? Answer, NEVER. Been all round 4 wheel independent from its release date in 2013. Was totally bagged out by journalist initially but now it's loved, amazing how technology has been bagged out initially and loved once proven. I'm old enough to recall Toyota being bagged out releasing the 80 series with 4 X coils, (oh yes it was, gone soft, not ridgid enough) now considered one of the best models produced. Again, time proved journalist wrong. All round independent with state of the art Traction Control will out drive old standard old solid axles every day. (Standard back then didn't include diff locks, just sketchy rear LSD, which Toyota produced very poorly).
Not the car's fault. There's no perfect vehicle. Most known brands nowadays are as reliable as we need it to be, until they aren't. Thanks for watching, Dave!
Ruben, I've been thinking of getting the Y62 (Armada) in the USA. A brand new 4x4 2022 or 23 is around US$ 54K. I own 4 Toyota 4x4's so how do you find the reliability of Y62 so far?

umm i think your forgetting you broke it pretty bad Rueben and had to rebuild your front end
Thanks for watching! :)
I love the sound of the Y62 and how good it looks and also how it goes in the bush
Glad you liked it!

i think all of us would drive it like that or harder if we had the cash to just fix it like that + all the sponsors to help out ..
Reuben always loves a challenge. Also, perks of having his own shop. :)
And it's too long for bush tracks, he's bashed up panels on vids

300 series are shit! They have nothing on the 200

@@Jwalker76 fuel filter, yes in a very stupid spot
What I love is that Rueben hasn’t wrecked it yet.
All ready done that watch the previous videos
He flogged it and broke half the car haha
His first big trip smashed the side of it😂
Because he rebuilds it every time he takes it out
@@raelock598 yes I have watched them but he hasn’t detonated the motor yet, that’s what I’m waiting for.
Snorkel? Independent suspension better than 'live' axles?
Not worth it.between the price and then the engineers cert the money could be spent on something else
Understood. Money could be spent on something else but worth depends on value it gives to the owner. Thanks for sharing, Peter!

Thanks @memsu06 . Hopefully soon!
How did you get the 37's legal?

the 62 looks great
Couldn’t agree more Ruben
Agree, it looks amazing. I love the front bar work not hiding the grill, classy

Its one of the best looking 62s around
Awesome 👌 next level 🤙
Straight swap a ram 1500 🤷♂️🤤🤣
🤣
Have broken a few rear cvs now , but yes top wagon...makes you wonder if the early y62s with solid rear diff would be a better option?

You love how unreliable it is the most..
how is it unreliable? not cars fault its got way more power and 37s

You've sold me mate!
Cheers, mate!
Reuben is legend 🤘🏻
Cheers, Dol!
my goodness that sound is exceptional
Only if ya have unlimited fuel lol
Wouldn't that be nice, eh!? :)
