I FINALLY WENT DIESEL. PROJECT LAND CRUISER 80 1HD-FT (Shauno's Favourite)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ธ.ค. 2020
- It's about time I owned a proper diesel 4WD on this channel.
Introducing the new (old) solid axle and coil sprung 4x4.
Made famous by Shauno from 4WD Action, I just couldn't wait any longer to snatch up this mint 97 Jap spec Land Cruiser 80 VX 4.2TD 1HDFT Auto.
Was this move a wise decision or would a modern 4x4 double cab bakkie/ute have been a better building platform for camping and touring? Let me know below

Doesnt matter who you are, or how brand loyal you may be - if you appreciate offroad vehicles, you always respect an 80.
Couldn't have said it better myself👊🏼

i 2nd that
I love Landies (had 5), but when it is good, it is just good and that is a Toyo 80 ! Thank your dad every day and enjoy !!
The music in this video is amazing. Good choice of tunes and vehicle.
I converted a series 2A 6 cylinder petrol Land Rover, to a 4 cylinder Mitsubishi 5 speed diesel, same HP, but a lot more torque. Also from 16 mpg petrol consumption, to 28 mpg diesel consumption, imperial gallon, made it nice to drive and off road. I now have GM V8 turbo diesel pickups and a suburban, great power for highway driving, 20mpg imperial gallon, a bit hungry, but they are heavy.
What a great choice. Overland and extreme offroader in one!
As a Defender owner currently on the search for an 80 Series, I am looking forward to your project and journey so much! The quality of the video is top notch also, well done
Thanks! I'll try and caption this ongoing build on video as far as possible. Pretty happy with the 80 thus far 👌🏻

Awesome Hendri. Look forward to the new series of videos 👌👍
Ohh man, that is awesome!
Also nice seeing Franschhoek 😍
Thats a precious piece of engineering. Its also a keeper...you will have tremendous joy from her...happy and safe kilos..enjoy. Oh..right choice! You are one lucky dude to lay your hands on her👍👍👍
Looking forward to the build Hendri, love that beast of yours!
Thanks bud 👊🏼 Can't wait to kit it out
What a great choice,I love these cruisers and specially the turbo diesel,it will be soon my next vehicle for the outdoors,enjoy it !
Awesome footage!
Holy shit. You're a Lucky lucky man. Do you know how rare these FT engine versions are. Hold onto it for dear life mate
Awesome 80 series, definitely a solid built 4x4 , i wish i could find a mint 80 series . looking forward to the rest of the mods.
me too
Damn i loved your 130 - but big-ups on the cruiser H. Wish I could get my hands on one of those - lucky guy!
Looking forward to it!
lovely scenes bud! :) I love that 80 :D
Welcome to the dark side! Once I went 80 series I never looked back (also used to own a Zook SJ70 with a G16B coilpack motor conversion)
Thanks Jeremy👊 I really miss my Zook as a light and nimble 4wd. I reckon a LWB with a diesel swap will be next😁
@@HendriMouton I feel like the petrol and the SWB was what made it so fun (and the width!), but I would still watch that build if you did one!
Really great quality videos. Literally up there with 4wd 24/7. If not better as there is less hype and it's in my home town👍
As a proud owner of an 80 series from Sabah, Malaysia...This is a SICK!!! video and such a mint u have there
Awesome HDJ81V and great video boet
Great choice
Vrek Hendri! She's a beaut! Congrats boet!!
Congrats...We have a 105 and we love it?
You made am awesome choice. Lekker.
Very cool Video! I love my 80 VX Efi. "they don't make vehicles like this anymore" My motto for the last 8 years.
Come make a video at Tierkloof in Worcester. I would love to join!
Must say always been a fan of the 80s. Definitely keen to tackle Tierkloof in the near future for a shoot👍🏻
Cant wait for an awesome build. Epic video. And definitely the right choice, Toyota parts are way easier to found around SA and Africa.
The ultimate vehicle to get.. enjoy !
Many Happy Km's 😀
Most definitely made the right choice
Congrats Hendri! I think I have pretty good idea of how luck and great you feel about your 80 series, because I have very similar beast (96 HD-FT, Manual, factory front and rear lockers). Glad you live in Cape Town, I would love to drive in a convoy with you one day just to prove that if you are very lucky you can find hen's teeth :)
Hope you’re well Michael. Trying my luck here! Is your 80 by any chance in the market? Thought I’d just ask the question. Kind regards.
I have a 94’ gas here in the states… hope I can bring over a Diesel 😁
Amazing 4x4. Think this was Toyota's best effort in the LC range (perhaps the 70 series being the exception. But they come at a ridiculous price tag. Toyota tax as we call it here) . I know a few here in Aus which have exceeded 800,000kms on the original motor. Another was featured on a local magazine having clocked 1million. They are like hen's teeth here too. Even the petrol motors. Looking forward to your build mate.
Great vehicle! Love that motor and chassis combo. What are the specs on your wheels? Size offset etc? Looking for something similar. Thx
I own a 80 in Australia🇦🇺. Born and bred in Cape Town.
Ek nuwe subscriber 80 is a beast van n overlander voertuig
Jyt nou klaar gekoop my ou maat. Ek ry self n Landrover Discovery, maar daai 80 is n battle tank en soos Toyota maar doen hou hulle NET. Geniet hom, sien uit na die videos wat kom.
I have exactly sam model and year!
Let me know when you're selling it ;)
How do you like the 80 so far
Is the old defender still running around with the Pugly license plate on? Wondering if it you or the new owner at Atlantis dunes not too long ago?
It's the new owner. Glad Pugly is used what it's built for 🤘🏻
👍
Where exactly in Kleinmond and can one camp and fish?
Nice ride!
This was next to the Palmiet Campsite. I'm not sure on the finishing as I don't usually have the patience for it but you can try and let me know😀
Perfect choice. You sub count will jump from here onwards with regular updates!
Going to try my best with the regular video uploads. Thanks Shaun!

Is the auto transmission full mechanical as well, no computer?
It's the A442F with basic electronic shift control opposed to the hydraulic from the previous generation which didn't have lockup. It's still got the manual cable to adjust shifting firmness and the the torque converter can be locked up manually with a switch mod.
Like your rig....what brand tires and are they noisey at highway speed..?
They are 33" General Grabber MTs and as far as MTs go they are pretty good. My Coopers are a bit louder than these
@@HendriMouton thanks...I like the tread pattern
@@HendriMouton thanks...I like the tread pattern
Jy gaan nou heel wat minder breek skade met die Land Cruiser hê Henri en nee, ek het 'n Discovery LR4 V8, effortless en fantasties maar daai Defenders, nee, ALTYD LEKKER OM JOU VIDEOS TE KYK!
Baie dankie! Dis net jammer Cruiser parte is so vrek duur maar hopelik hou hul dan nog so 20jaar👍🏻
I'm looking at a 95 VX limited with the HDFT motor and 220,000 kilometers. It's listed for $23,000 US dollars. Is it worth that price?
That's quite a low mileage 80. If it's been properly taken care of and has a full service history it's definitely worth it. However if it's been neglected it can become a costly exercise to maintain. Auto or manual?
Hi, excuseme. How much money this Job, i'm interesting in chance me 4.5 oíl v6 automatic5 speed a HD diesel. Please, informations. And wich ECU recomend user..?
The best will be to sell the petrol and just buy a diesel, too much work to swap over from what I've read.
What lift and tires are on this rig ?
It was on 33" General Grabbers and a 2" lift...
1HZ with a turbo? is it aftermarket?
ah I see in the description that its a 1HD.. you said 1HZ in the video. congrats on the rig!
@@KevinSchnider Could be my lekker English😁 Thanks Kevin 👊🏼
Hendri Mouton bahahaha, ja nee klink reg 😅
Beste cruiser wat gemaak is
Hello Henri - stuur asb nommer waarop ek jou kan kontak?
Guessing you had your eye on that Cruiser for a while.🤔😁

Edit: I found out it was in the family.
Good spot haha. About time I got to use the vehicle I've been wrenching on for the past 10 years 😀
