350 HP 80 SERIES LANDCRUISER TOURING MACHINE!! - EXPLORE LIFE RIGS EP3

FINALLY You have been asking for this for years so we finally did a Rig review on Lane from Trackabout Campers EPIC 80 series landcrusier. Lane has put this thing through its paces over the years and he is finally happy with where its at!!

[@canberracampers3090]

Nice rig, good to see a car that’s not a 79

[@shanenorwell8580]

Shorty Adventures not to mention infinitely more comfortable and capable.

[@CJFranciss]

This. I upgraded from a 2012 VDJ79 to a 92 HDJ80. Best decision I made

[@whiterun6202]

I like the 70 series but I can't bloody travel with them stock seats man they hurt like shit.

[@DuckDonald44]

I think this 4wd has aligned with me more than any other ever. Well thought out mate.

[@MudducksTouringAustralia]

Thats my dream 80 right there. Stay safe. Cheers Steve

[@felixfelix3421]

Why don't reviews ever show them driving the vehicles??? We want to hear the engine, See its power etc

[@vixen_Shalu_Adventures]

Awesome rig . A lot of hard work and money. Something different but same. Got a 1997 vx Amazon 1HDFT , triple locked from Scotland. Fully setbup for touring. Think its the only one in WA . Just love seeing everyone's pride and joy. Cheers

[@NKPGarage]

Oh man... That is one gorgeous 80 series!

[@emersonvarley5069]

absolutely mint.. im not usually a tojo guy but can definitely appreciate a clean build.

[@marufali6205]

beautiful beast ✌❤💪 80series landcruiser

[@neihanakingi3252]

Centre fridge came in some VX limited as-well, they’re bloody handy

[@heathbirley1774]

This vid is getting saved for future reference for sure! More detail on the -fte swap would be great: best donor vehicles, hurdles, compatible gbox's, can they bolt into an fz... but thats a different vid i guess

[@TOYOTA.Overland]

J8 is not about horse powers, but about long term durability in hard condition. Your look generally perefect 👍😎

[@meanrigs4x483]

Ultimate 80 this is, well done wayno!

[@TrackaboutOffRoadCampersAus]

Cheers man 👍

[@lukebryce5097]

Great run down on the 80 👌

[@wtls000]

That's mint. My dad had an all-white 80 so I've always been partial to that but the black accents are mean as.

[@Adrian-pi4zu]

What sort of dollars do the FTE's cost to rebuild? Has this 80 had a re spray, paint looks immaculate. What sort of fuel economy do you get towing. This thing is just a beast. Toyota done a good job on the 80's such a capable vehicle. Could put some l.e.d strips under the bonnet. Mint rig 👌

[@TrackaboutOffRoadCampersAus]

About 10k for a rebuild depending on what you do. This had afew upgrades while it was apart like bearing and arp studs. Still the original paint, just loves a good polish. Cheers man 🤘

[@jamesbushy9031]

Go the mighty 80

[@kamalprasanna67]

Great reveiw 😎

[@shanenorwell8580]

Interesting how much better equipped this thing is compared to the 1979 series buckets yet people still froth over them. You’ve gotta spend more on a 70 to make it half decent than this whole rig would’ve cost.

[@MarcHDJ81v]

Wow that is an epic 80!

[@careymahoney1605]

What do you call these ? It's a tailgate Lol !

[@theexplorelife]

Ronald Reagan 😂😂 all over it

[@brettwilson9181]

Clamshell??

[@bradbonell3035]

According to Sam Eyles they are called the "uppy downey doors" 😂

[@digitalbilly]

is there a parts list for this truck? i would love to see a parts breakdown

[@bestdayeverpod]

How do people afford all this! I got new exhaust on my 80 and I’m broke again ahahaha

[@abdiraxmaansalebaan2367]

Me car bicouse Iam need

[@lman22]

Weld it

[@elrud5964]

It takes years of spending to much on your car.

[@seuorriver3827]

Afterpay!

[@benwilkinson7181]

Love the old Jesus bar, got one in my gq coil cab

[@caleymiller5897]

Go 80 Series!!!!!! Legit!!!! AWESOME RIG!!!

[@TrackaboutOffRoadCampersAus]

Cheers mate

[@matthewpope6546]

Be good to throw some more clips of the car in action for the next videos! Always been a fan of lanes 80!

[@nicholasmcclellan5117]

Get drifta setup in the back of the 80 for the table

[@concretekiller]

dream rig right there

[@sinisteroffroad_au]

Awesome 80.

[@terrysmith7740]

That is a great rig. What engine components give the extra KW and Torque over the standard engine? is the chip the main source of extra power?

[@aravindaweragoda923]

Not sure if this is relevant but where do you get food grade stainless steel sheet from?

[@maxvandongen8213]

Did you opt for a larger trans cooler from PDI? Got a 97 HDJ80 with the PDI front mount kit and trans cooler and the trans cooler does sit close but the grille still fits up perfect like standard?

[@TrackaboutOffRoadCampersAus]

We got the biggest one PDI could supply. I think it's off their latest 100 series kit so sits out alot further

[@markbithrey3635]

They still put fridge consoles in the Saharas

[@anth00771]

Love it...who ever is doing the editing needs a big pat on the back. Intro was awesome. Content not too bad either 😉😉

[@MADBONE0]

Look 👀 kids... it’s a unicorn 🦄

[@ΙωάννηςΛαμπρογιώργος]

Forged pistons,rods ??? aftermarket big end bearings kai arp studs?????

[@landc8442]

Do you have a dyno video? I've never heard of a 1hdfte making 350hp.

[@theexplorelife]

just autos have sinced tuned it and brought it back to 301 hp I believe with a bit more low down power

[@firetofork]

I just want to go out and punch my bucket of shit of an 80 now. That car is stunning

[@michaelsherwin3]

Did anyone see this Cruiser is going up for sale?

[@DbowAt32Cbt]

Your Recaro seats didn’t get recalled?..

[@27walker27]

what no footage of it running or anything?

[@CJFranciss]

Plenty of footage of it on endless trips...

[@Critchley96]

What’s the exhaust your running here mate

[@winindakith]

Thanks from Sri Lanka. Could you please give a contact to the person who did the wiring for 1HDT-FTE conversion. Need to get some technical advises.

[@calebtorrisi6281]

Are those factory flares?

[@nicholasmcclellan5117]

Where did he get the ride height marker from ???

[@TrackaboutOffRoadCampersAus]

From cruisemaster mate

[@Mack74]

Nice 80...are your headlights the UltraFlex ?

[@TrackaboutOffRoadCampersAus]

Yeah bud

[@Zobby447]

Thought the timing belt only ran the injection pump on 1HD diesels

[@brodybaker960]

Gear driven from crank to pump the belt from pump to cam

[@ΙωάννηςΛαμπρογιώργος]

Hdft??? How many nm of torque ???

[@robmacca67]

2.0 Fox Shocks - how do u find them as my mate was recommended the Fox 2.5's for his 80's... which are a lot more $$

[@Fuckthesystem-ro5wm]

If you dont mind me asking,what they worth? The 2.5s

[@TrackaboutOffRoadCampersAus]

I really rate them mate, have a chat to the boys at Mikes shock shop

[@hotchookadventures]

Breath mate 😁

[@Seaslayeradventue]

How's the 4spd holding up with 350hp Didn't talk much about it ?

[@TrackaboutOffRoadCampersAus]

So far so good. The lock up and the valve body upgrade makes a big difference

[@Seaslayeradventue]

@@TrackaboutOffRoadCampersAus yeah nice did it get tuned with a flat tourqe curve to help the trans? I've got a A442f behind my fte have been thinking about upping the power to the 300hp Mark just concerned about the trans but it has had a full HD rebuild for extra power .

[@kamalprasanna67]

Need Lane,Burke & Simon back on the road

[@jackphillips4462]

What gearbox is in it the 100 series one of the 80 series?

[@TrackaboutOffRoadCampersAus]

Yeah mate the a442 out of the 100 with a few upgrades

[@jamesprice9936]

Where’s that retractable water hose from? Need one in my 80

[@jackboehm5928]

I need the same mate haha. exactly what i have been looking for.

[@Cobba195]

Also would love to know where to get it!!

[@campally]

Try marine place. Common on boats

[@Jorriecruiser]

What headlights are you running

[@TrackaboutOffRoadCampersAus]

Ultraflex

[@sarahoneill2756]

So your saying it has 350 hp so 260 kw at the rear wheels ? On stock pump ? What boost does it run ?

[@sumodaze2198]

from memory its around 30psi with +70 injectors

[@sarahoneill2756]

Still struggle with those figures-

[@TrackaboutOffRoadCampersAus]

@@sarahoneill2756 why? The standard pumps go above 400hp

[@sarahoneill2756]

Surely you ,have your dyno run sheets to show..

[@sumodaze2198]

@@sarahoneill2756 Just do a bit of research. Not hard to find a bunch of FTEs putting down those numbers on stock pump

[@graemestephens1894]

What is the fuel economy like ,..,.,. great 4by mate,

[@TrackaboutOffRoadCampersAus]

Around 16/17lph towing 🤘

[@blacktop2outback]

@@TrackaboutOffRoadCampersAus Thanks pretty bloody good, what's it get not towing?

[@nicholasmcclellan5117]

Fridge slides are good as but the MSA ones are quite dangerous clear views one are soo much better

[@wademan7180]

Yep I’ve got the side slide an it’s shit! Nuthin but dramas an dangerous az!

[@TrackaboutOffRoadCampersAus]

Never had a drama with mine 🤷‍♂️

[@Bigchaser01327]

Never had an issue with mine, why are they dangerous

[@MegaRevHead]

Had one for ages... No dramas here...

I'm thinking of getting one but how are they dangerous

Sometimes i think about selling my 80, but i know i would regret it if i did.

[@aukanmeister]

Same.

[@nicholasmcclellan5117]

What’s the arb turbo timer

[@sailingonsolo]

Nicholas McClellan /keeps the engine running for a pre set time after the key is removed, cools the turbo before shutting down

[@timjarick9573]

350whp 😂😂😂 yeah righto stroker

[@madrx2]

What? 350hp is a walk in the park for an fte

[@Jbs12url]

Yeah it's not a td42 shaping crankshafts

[@CJFranciss]

plenty-o 300pony + FTEs, a good handful of 350pony+ FTEs and even a sprinkle of some crackers pushing 400+ HP out of them all tickled up

[@nichade879]

what was the desired outcome or the point of this video?

[@stotty117]

Bfg is not what the once where

[@wadejensen3301]

Sorry mate but 70 series are way overpriced.....and yes you should have bought an 80 series!

[@Simmonsconstruction]

"Truck" 🤮

[@benbenno1991]

Is he doing a rig run down on a 80 series or just a comparison on the 80 and his 79 lol

[@4WheelingInNSW]

Good video gents 👍 Nice low kilometres on the beast .... you guys would’ve loved the 80 my dad sold recently - 1993 40th Anniversary Edition model with only 123,000 k’s on it, absolutely M I N T !!! Wished I could’ve got my hands on it but no room in the yard. ☹️ Got to love a good 80 👍 Keep up the good work guys. The only thing is 1) can we please stop calling these wagons ‘trucks’ and 2) pop the bonnet, not the hood 😬👍

[@bush2sea]

Great rig and review. The airbag man GU would be a great review 💪

[@The_ElunduExpeditionProject]

What a beast! Beautiful example of the 80, love it, love it, love it!

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..?

[@Hazardbone]

One of the best 80s getting around apart from shaunos sooty

[@4WheelingInNSW]

Hazardbone certainly a lot cleaner and neater than Shaun’s - Shaun’s has had more hits than Elvis !!

[@shanenorwell8580]

There’s nothing particularly special about shauns 80 really.

[@4WheelingInNSW]

Shane Norwell agree to an extent mate, she’s a bit rough around the edges but I guess that’s because it cops a flogging

[@horseshoe182]

good review, do you use the 1hd-fte turbo con rods and pistons with this build? thanks

[@crispusantoninus557]

A horse with no name

[@rickfranke4886]

What a wapon

[@stuartcj2334]

Great 80 series you have built there, you didnt say alot about your transmission, is it a standard A442F aside from the lock-up mod?

[@TrackaboutOffRoadCampersAus]

Thanks mate. Upgraded the valve body and trans cooler 👍

[@drakensberghiker8565]

Very nice

[@jamiecole1879]

Hey wayne i notice that your 80series has QLD plates on there did u get your wiring loom done in brisbane? do u have any contacts where i could a loom made up for 105series?

Mate hit up Jim at Sideshow performance wiring. He was recommended to me and I couldn't have been happier 👍

[@jamiecole1879]

@@TrackaboutOffRoadCampersAus thanks Wayne. ive got petrol 105 series so plan is to convert it to a 1HD-FTE down the track cause i could never drink a petrol landcruiser under the table its just abit thirsty haha

[@GeertB84]

Great rig! I have an 80 series myself. Also with the PDI intercooler and oil cooler. And indeed the grill doesn't fit anymore. :) I modified the original grill and mounted a stainless steel mesh inside. I removed all the plastic fins but kept the toyota horizontal logo. I can give you some pics of how I did it, looks good in my opinion :).

[@TrackaboutOffRoadCampersAus]

Nice set up mate. I tried that but I went for the biggest oil cooler whish actually sits out further than the front of the grill 😑

I don't understand, he pulled the engine down, race bearings and horned the bores, etc Then the timing belt goes on the first trip? Did he not replace the TB and Water Pump while he was rebuilding it?

Wasn't the first trip. The bloke who put the tensioner in stripped it 👎👎

[@merninmonday9]

1985

[@billywalters3352]

Rough estimate how much you think this build has cost ??

[@bigoz1734]

Depends if you include labour or if you do stuff yourself but it'd be +50k with all the fruit and rebuild

[@TrackaboutOffRoadCampersAus]

Yeah exactly right mate, all the labour has been in house. the motor/ gearbox mods combo would be up around 25 -30k retail
