105 series Landcruiser, Modified Episode 49

[@firetofork]

Great bloke and a great honest touring rig. Not a wank tank like so many out there. Awesome work man

[@Craqthump]

Old mate's decked it out well, good honest bloke with a good honest vehicle, its all about finding what works for you & getting out in it!

[@ryandavis3228]

Great Tour of a veteran in both kiwi 🥝 military and a veteran in over overland

[@dominicevans7430]

Hands down the best landcruiser ever made!

[@PumpUptheJam81]

So nice to see a well used rig instead of the money cannon builds on expedition portal that rarely see gravel.

[@mountainconstructions]

Luke Davis 100%

[@PumpUptheJam81]

Antonio deCarmoducci I think the more thoughtful humans who view this channel enjoy seeing all walks of life and income levels enjoy the outdoors and their rigs. If you or someone else is feeling intimidated by another vehicle on the roadway you may need to re- align your perspective on life. As you know assholes can drive all sorts of vehicles. I would also caution anyone making assumptions about wealth vs the age of vehicle someone drives. The smartest ( and wealthiest) people I have met drive “ shitty old rigs” that are paid off, parked at homes they own, and use the rig until the end of its service life. Hopefully you won’t need one of these shitty old rigs to pull your ass out of a ditch someday 😉

[@samuelstylin]

I certainly don't come here to see rude classist comments. I appreciate the honest genuine good natured personality of Ronny and his guests.

[@matthewberry1738]

Aussie built. No excess funds. Love this rig! I bet it can do the cape without breaking a sweat.

[@gaj5701]

Best comment ever in this. 2" lift & 32/33" tyres are all you need for what most of us do off-road touring. Cracking everyday vehicle video & great for anyone wanting to start out 4wd touring 👍

[@mountainconstructions]

GAJ I thought exactly the same thing! As he said, it's all about the driver. I've seen mates with 35s get in trouble because they think they are unstoppable. When you consider 2WD VW Kombi used to cross the Simpson once. A friend crossed the Simmo last year in his Mitsubishi Van

[@timothymichael6549]

Couldn't agree more !

[@gaj5701]

Check the VSB rules out, you'd need to get that engineered to be legal.

[@929cosmodude]

agree 100%

[@Cchange4us]

its great to see a vehicle that is used to this extent. You can tell just by looking at it that it has travelled a lot of remote kms.

[@TheMr0450]

One of the best episodes.. the gentleman interviewed is pure class.. love his simplicity!

[@kimberleydreaming]

Must have camping gear? The wife! haha love it! What a genuine nice fella. Great episode Ronny :)

[@kenmarapese9085]

I liked the vehicles simplicity, engine and suspension basically stock! Ronny buy that guy a new tee shirt!

[@mountainconstructions]

What a brilliant review Ronny. Awesome fella too, what a nice guy. Very well sorted touring vehicle. All the right questions asked. Great to see someone that really uses his rig and doesn't talk shit.

[@thewhiteoxoverland]

Great rig. Great setup. Very refreshing to see a 105 that hasn't been turbo'd. You can tell that it's got everything it needs to "get out there " and nothing it doesn't. Keep on truckin mate and leave the trailer at home!

[@PeaceyThompson]

Great old rig. Makes me want a wagon. Best modified episode in a while and a rig that most people can afford, (the last prado was good too).

Why dose it say 3days ago but the video is put up 5 min ago??? (Am i the only one who sees it?)

[@seadoospeedsterful]

Ronny do you ever come to the East Coast? My friend and I have very modified cars you have never featured; a 60 series Landcruiser and a Discovery 1. Please shoot me an email if you are ever this side of the country, we have some tracks you'd love too. [e-mail]

[@retepd1e]

Such a great interview. Ronny gives lecture to other interview hosts who talk all over their guests. Ronny asked the good questions and let the man talk. Great stuff. This interview proves, you don’t need all the latest gear, you just need the basics!

[@Stuart_Cox]

Having just picked me of these in good nick I’m feeling a lot more secure. Brilliant setup in this lads.

[@takoon67]

Cool bloke, in a "shabby-chic", and a great build car. Nothing too much, everything well used. That man knows, what he's doing.

[@leighpember7630]

Great video Ronny, what a nice down to earth guy. Good to see a well throughout 105 tourer. Hi from Switzerland and hope to see you on the tracks in WA next year on our big tour.

[@nicksecret1792]

Solid!!! This guy is real school!

[@phillipbruce9892]

Another great episode Ronny and what an awesome guest. Good to see a bloke who knows his gear well and can communicate effectively the pros and cons of said gear. I reckon you could get a couple of decent segments to show utilising his knowledge and enthusiasm. Cheers

[@ethicalfarmer7424]

Excellent modified, great rig! Fantastic review for Drifta on their rear storage just what I was after.

[@blackie75]

Sounds like a top bloke. I've got a friend who dresses and talks just like him and he's a very well off property developer, you can never judge a book by it's cover.

[@kushpatel2885]

"I don't know why I'm laughing," well, because a pop-up pooper is freaking hilarious, Ronnie. The name and the sheer idea of it is humorous...

[@flip110119]

Love your channel, best reviews of the Landcruiser. The Q and A is my favorite part of each episode! Keep up the great work....

[@NISMO-OFFROAD]

great watch as always ronny, take it easy mate

[@CampingNSW]

I love that you have more than twice the amount of subscribers as 4wd Action. Keep up the great content.

[@rotam8680]

4wd action was good. till they started going to difficult tracks with a/ts and no lockers "oh mate so hard"

[@NKPGarage]

Love the build. Very well put together with lots of functional gear that is actually useful!

[@Topo42mh]

What a great back drop. Beautiful country and great vid as always.

[@jasonpushy]

just bought myself one like this. 1999 pov pack 105. great video. thanks. great ideas for camping touring travels.

[@reedmurungweni2091]

He even has the recaros....great honest setup..the car is being used....i can connect to this.

[@slowboat6021]

good review of an honest 4WD, thanks.

[@obedevert28]

Best interview I have seen as yet.

[@brendandevulder7762]

great too watch have grown up and been told oh never buy anything after the old 80 series they don't make em like they used too etc but i have always loved the look of these 105 series but don't know anything about them so this video really helped

[@andrewb.5996]

Nice bloke and great well used vehicle. Nice to see a bit of real dirt.

[@jedisid]

It feels like we haven't gotten a modified in a while, thanks for uploading.

[@ShannonHartnett-117]

G'day a local New south walesman here myself I have a 05 100 series 4.7L V8 petrol gxl and unfortunately yes it has high ks at 370,000kms and the ifs and non solid axle but it serves its purpose with a 2" ome nitrocharger sport lift with 32" tyres on 16" 79 series alloy rims from whatbim told if you keep upto the timing belt and do the regular services at 10,000 intervals the ks are nothing to worry about the 2UZ-FE engine is one of Toyota's most bullet proof engines out there

[@aeromech8563]

Awesome video and i could not agree more , big simple and will always get you home love mine top draw. respect to you for your service too.

[@gittensman]

Awesome video as always Ronny. Always something to look forward to through the week. Keep it up mate.

[@alians1978]

What a nice bloke. Great DYI work mate, well done.

[@fuckingkidsthesedays]

70 series guys looking at the rear coils, youll never have this much comfort

[@michaelbautista5803]

My JDM LJ78G Prado has coils in the rear.

[@alex.4753]

What a nice bloke, seems like a top lad

[@snells-window]

Great to see a real 4WD and not some show pony that never sees work. Clearly it's not just a 4WD, it's more a tool of the trade to reach all the great locations for his photography. I just checked out his photography pages; shame that Ronnie doesn't touch on this in the review.

[@TrueDaturaMindNz]

solid cruiser

[@OverlandVagabond]

Hey Ronny - I would be honoured to have my unique build presented on "modified" one day... perhaps in 2-3 years when we reach Australia, keep on publishing great content!

[@chaoticmuscles]

I was working in Gloucester last week, got lost in mt. Berrico for a couple hours, great views of the hilly country

[@bobbyexpeditiongradejohnso5624]

I would have also included a rain water harvesting system up on the roof. Better than trying to pump water out of creeks and rivers. It is amazing how many liters of water you can collect if you are driving in the rain. Can use that for showers and filter it for drinking. Its an expedition essential if you ask me.

[@alex.4753]

Really like to hear more about that pull out kitchen

[@-WondersofCreation]

Fantastic video Ronny. Thank you.

[@marioperies4678]

Brilliant! Have been waiting for this one!

[@jaiewhitham6010]

Keeps the billy in the back 🤙🤙

[@one1shot1shaun]

No Doubt

[@brkbtjunkie]

Love watching these videos to help put together a plan to build my own 100 series to tour North America. Thanks!

[@Rangeroverland2022]

Another great video.

[@adventures_of_the_lowrange8499]

pop up pooper... hahaha ... don't know why I'm laughing at that... (haha that cracked me up!! classic!!

[@0521carlos]

Cool setup 👍👍

[@derrickmurphy6040]

Good 1 ronny.The wife as camping gear lol.

[@gubourn]

what a legend

[@samhoskins8550]

Would love and old 40 series Landcruiser.

[@jmsblk12982]

Damn, oil that poor shovel handle. Nice rig.

[@aussiefiery]

Shovels just had a birthday, repaint and oil

[@손정민-j3f]

Awesome thanks

[@ivankugov1391]

Ronny how about the air filter for the cabin air. How often do you need to check (change) it?

[@Photoharv]

ronny, mate.. please do a modified episode with an FJ40!

[@departmentofadventure4914]

No, not just an fj40.. get roothy on with his milo 2!!!

[@ryanramsey6391]

I wish I could trade my 100s for a 105, But not here in the states. Nice cruiser and another get video.

[@830Moto]

Love the Modified Series. Any chance you will have a 77 series Landcuriser on an episode? I have one here in Japan and would love to see it on your channel. Just a suggestion!

[@Ronny_Dahl]

Would love too just need to find one

[@TrueDaturaMindNz]

Nice truck bloke

[@BrownAbrahamic112]

Just like the 105,there should have been a 205 land cruiser for the 200th series,how would it be?

[@where2nextadventures]

👍 nice rig!

[@Mosesk1988]

Need a tb48 4.8 petrol patrol next 😁

[@willmorrow5065]

Hey ronny great vid couuld you maybe do a TD42 gu wagon? enjoy the content keep it up

[@willmorrow5065]

i wanna build my dream 4.2 one day one day ;)

[@nguont]

Rolly B 2million km? Or 200k

[@rollyb5061]

202000 km , my mistake

[@nguont]

Rolly B ahh ok, was gonna say, 2mil from any type of vehicle is awesome

[@RBFR01]

Needs bigger wheels and a bigger lift.Rohnny come down to Melbourne!!! gotta meet ya!

[@ineedabeerandaliedwn]

Are mechanical lockers used in Australia? I never see anyone running an Eaton Detroit Locker. I love mine.

[@gareth3566]

Except Andrew St Pierre Whites troopy this is my favourite truck on this channel. Like Whites troopy it screams adventure

[@bradeddy1696]

Hey Ronny, would you be able to do a modified episode on an old 40 series cruiser?

[@SEEYAIAYE]

He should do an episode on the Sick Puppy 4x4 guys' 45

[@pauljohns8215]

Hi Great video really enjoy got a vehicle myself I 😍

[@dnekjfkskls6380]

Any Land Rover Discovery's in the upcoming future? :)

[@Ronny_Dahl]

I asked a few owners and they seemed keen but never got back to me. I’m too busy as is and only ask once. I’ll keep looking.

[@thomashall6156]

They're all stuck in the garage lol

[@nielnavarone892]

Try to make a video about the prado 90 series from glenep.

[@Stoic-of-Rome]

The sun is dissolving the tracks back to powder. They look super brittle! How far do you think that propane bottle will launch in a crash? looks like its held down just with rubber straps!! Like the back storage system though.

[@mountainconstructions]

Mark Jennings Good... get it as far away as possible

[@aussiefiery]

Strapped down with a gas bottle ratchet strap from Rhino Rack, fit for purpose, it ain't going anywhere.

[@Stoic-of-Rome]

That's more like it, pleased to read I was wrong! :-)

[@DENMONKEY]

Can anyone identify the strap that was attached to his gas bottle? It looked like a mounting strap.

[@alexandarskocic6975]

Ronny please do another hilux video but maybe an N60 hilux 97-04 model but other than that great video mate 🤟

[@minhasentertainment8479]

Hey Ronny, can we replace 105 diff with 70series OEM diff with lockers? and what's the factory ratio in the 105

[@West4ea]

He mentioned having a camelback behind the seat. Does he use it while driving? I found mine from mountain biking recently and thought it would work Great while driving especially as I never drink enough.

[@aussiefiery]

Actually no, and I have never thought of that, not a bad idea. Will have to try it.

[@timkirkpatrick9155]

Recaros, like I said a contoured seat and then add the 4pt. belts.

[@jamiegreenwood7996]

ronny do a 75 series ute 1hz after markert turbo?

[@Stylemaster911]

Get someone on with a BV 206 lol.. I'd love to see the features of one of those

[@ryanhinkley3494]

I agree i had a 105 landcrusier not a miner car but it when everywhere but the 105 wire loom was faulty it play up all the time

[@SEEYAIAYE]

I have a FJZ105R, never heard of this issue or experienced it. Maybe the previous owner fixed it? I know of other issues like the left front axle seal failing and the recall on the cable holding the spare up underneath the vehicle.

[@richardhunt6112]

SEE YAI AYE well there you go, my 98 GXL 1HZ manual had its front left axle seal fail soon after I bought it in 2005 with 92k kms on it. The first time I took it back to a Toyota dealer in late 2005 the service manager advised that they would be replacing the spare wheel cable with the updated chain assembly. Apparently there were 105 spare wheels strewn across the outback due to broken cables with the owners only realising their spare had fallen off 500 kms down the track. I'm finally going to fit out my 105 for overland touring and this video has given me all the inspiration and ideas (love those drifta drawers and camp kitchen) I need to get it done.

[@SEEYAIAYE]

@@richardhunt6112 Blame the offset in the diff for that, while they did a lot of neat stuff in the 80-105 series it's bizarre they never really thought that the longer left hand front side axle would experience way more stress in the long run. Know of a few 80 series owners who have had the issue but damn, yours failing in under 100k is pretty unlucky. Had a few people help with mine, hate to think what the mechanic charged you.

[@rickharris2840]

Ronny, are you referring to yourself as eye candy?? :)

[@chrisherrera228]

Badass

[@Mojomo777]

Just recently following your channel, I have not seen all the video yet. Planning to get 4x4 vehicle, would the colour of the vehicle matters ? Generally we choose lighter colour, such as White. Any discussion on this matter ?

[@CalebWhitford]

episode on a older pajero swb like a 1991 3.0l or 3.5l v6?

[@not_leeroy]

Whats that intro song?

[@TheAliosha123]

How much fuel does it need per 100 KM?

[@NuggetMuncherGammer]

Get a 75 series on

[@prg7743]

How many k's has it done ?

[@scumpert]

How many KMs?

[@aussiefiery]

Just clocked up 260,000kms

[@beansbeans7492]

[@ashleyball697]

[@moedalgarny]

[@1samwhich]

Is that an optical illusion or is there such a thing as flat pack porta-loos? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGK3aHWKq7efqc0

[@ryanhinkley8643]
