Land Cruiser 80 Off-Road Shakedown Run: First Time On the Trail!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.ย. 2023
- Today we finally get the Land Cruiser out on the trails to test everything we've done over the past year to this rig! Of course that includes an engine rebuild, suspension upgrades, wheels, 38" tires, and the list goes on. So there's quite a bit to go wrong since we've repaired so much. We need to make sure the land cruiser can perform under any condition, at any time. This shakedown run will hopefully show us what we need to fix, what we need to do next, and steer the build in the right direction.

Look a little like gollum sneaking into Mordor on that last clip there 😂
Why was I running like that? 😅🤣
First you make a video where you give us the total cost at the beginning of the video. Now, youre actually testing out your rig to see what you need, and not just tossing thousands of dollars on gear just to make your rig look cool. Got my sub. Looking forward to your next video
Good stuff! Have to agree on ride quality. Went from 3rd gen Tacoma to 80 series LX, and much more comfortable!
Love the 80 series when put together properly they are one of the most capable vehicles off road
Trail Whale, baby!
Gotta love the literal "brushed" finish!! Great video and I love the look, fitment and stance. Amazing rig!
Thank you!
Regarding the fuel smell in the cabin, try changing your charcoal canister. I went with the AC Delco mod which consists of swapping out the factory charcoal canister for a cheaper replacement. I did this and the fuel smell was gone.
Also if you need to troubleshoot your EGR, look at the EGR test kit from Huddexpo.
Awesome!!
Had no doubt that everything would run smoothly! Great vid!
depending on your budget, rear locker and a winch would be the first thing i recommend. wheelin with your buddies you can conquer most obstacles with just a rear locker. when you're by yourself the winch will come in handy when you get yourself in a pickle. always be prepared: ARB recovery gear, smittybilt, it don't matter. recovery skills are important. most wheelers don't know how your floor mats can help you get unstuck. and then sliders if you like your rocker panels
Congrats on all of your hard work getting you to this point! Continued success to you and the rig!
Great job!, she looks pretty solid . I built mine a 94 80 series two years in the making and spent 4 weeks in mountains this summer giving it the shake down. and its worthy good luck with rest of your build
You are amazing, what a good built.
FJ is looking great Ricky!!
Sliders are next IMHO. You are really limited in which trails you can explore without sliders. You never know what you might run into if you haven't been on a trail before, and if you crunch the rocker panels it is major work to repair. Those Icon wheels look fantastic!
Agreed, and thanks!
Great video mate. Good to first test. Loved the inclusion of getting the camera at the end. Maybe next investment is some AC so you stay cool while driving
pretty sweet!
So close to kissing that back driver door! Good job avoiding it👍
Congrats 🎉
Thanks!
The dreaded EGR. I hoped mine was a cheap answer. Ended up being the vacuum switch buried under everything. Best of luck.
Fun!
What's the best suspension for overlanding? Front and reae bumpers, winch, rear drawers, etc.
Checking to see if you need gears? With 38s? Yes.
Sorry. I’ve been watching the build series so I’m sure you’ve already addressed this lol.
You should put sliders, by the time you need them it will be too late. I install them in all my rigs and Thanks I did. I saved my car.
Definitely high on my list of things to do next.
I recently picked up a 94 LC80. And sliders have been high on my list. So odd that such a popular vehicle has so little in the way of aftermarket options.
@@TheCajunGaijin It's because of the awkward catalytic converter setup on these 80s. Check out white knuckle offroad.
Please wrap your car and modify its interior and also you are an amazing guy and build an very old car without anybody’s help .I appreciate it bro
Huge congrats on the build Ricky, it looks awesome, and it clearly has a some serious potential! Definitely resonated with the "sentimental" piece 🤙🏻Question for you: What degree of caster correction are you running?
Thanks guys! It has eimkeith radius arm mounts which correct 3* I believe. I still need to add additional correction but it’s at least driveable now. I’m thinking aftermarket radius arms, not a huge fan of caster bushings.
We should probably chat more often about land cruiser mods and upgrades. I forgot you guys are on an LC80 frame.
Good video but your nuts to go wheeling without a spare lol. Glad it worked out though. What’s next on your list of things to do?
Have to be honest, I've never went wheeling *with* a spare LOL. I just installed sliders... need to do lockers, axles, etc.
Hey brother nice rig. I have one too and I definitely need to lift mine while my suspension are also blown. Would you still recommend the ARB OME? Coz mine is also absorbing all the bumps and its unstable. Im new to this and not really looking to empty my pocket just yet. I do have the 33s at the moment. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
I don't think anything is wrong with OME. Long player in the game.
Look at the charcoal canister for the gas smell. Does you fuel tank pressure up?
Will do. Gas cap releases some pressure when removed but nothing crazy.
If you don't fix it it can lead to a cracked fuel tank. Google leaking top of tank. I had to replace my tank.
You have done an excellent job!! I know Toyota paint sucks, do you have any plans for paint or anything like that? Love the 80!
Thank you! It’s either going to get a repaint of the same color (dark emerald pearl), dark blue (nightshadow pearl), or some paint code similar to those from a different manufacturer.
@@RM_Garage that sounds awesome, my wife’s cousin did a clear wrap over his new cruiser and it looks good, almost didn’t even know he had it wrapped.
Is that Hemingway Butte area?
Close to it, yeah
Where in the Owyhees were you
Lost trail area
Wheels specs and tires specs? Thank you

No spare? Duh!
Awesome video, nice shakedown.
