Its difficult to tell which series is the best. All your Africa themed videos are top notch. I gotta get out there, Bucket List for sure. I'm surprised you didn't have Paul check out the vehicle before purchasing. If only we could all have a friend like Paul.

[@alanbstard4]

exactly!

[@maverick2242]

I have wondered that this entire series, I think Andrew is very independent, I just had a similar discussion with a mate, he bought a new new to him second hand 2012, V8 and had some brand new Enkei wheels he has had lying round for another project for years, expensive and rare, finally got the intended car and then went cheap on tires, tried to convince him otherwise, can’t see it, sometimes people just do there thing. Ya can be helpful that’s the intent, we all at times can be lead to water but often we won’t drink the water when it’s good for us. Still it’s been a great series and learnt heaps, ai can never understand though why they out dirty parts back, or don’t clean rust and other crap off housing etc, Im anal about shit like that.

Agreed with everything you have just said. I got 140,000 km out of a set of BFG’s without a single rotation on my 4wd 105. Best I’ve got out of any of my 4wd’s I’ve owned and the only all wheel drive I’ve owned

I can relate to your mishap, with a 20L drum of dif oil in the back of a Hiace in the Oz army. after cleaning and mopping up several times, all the diggers gettin on the Vehicle always started with: "" WHATS THAT SMELL???..........""😁

However this can be a great benefit, ,you rarely need to change the oil as it's not in there long enough ! .

[@44Dell]

Agree with you completely on lubricant's. But I've take it one step further. For older vehicles additives for the engine oil , power steering, Coolant, Transmission (auto), and possibly transfer case are a must add unless the vehicle is well under 100k miles on the odometer. As for carryings extra lubricants also agree carrying extra additives is not necessary.

[@THEDRAGONBOOSTER8]

Very good.

So what is the best way to clean your radiator without taking it out?

Morning Andrew, when are you coming up to luangwa? I'm a young English expat living in zambia, with a 110, who would be keen to meet for a drink on the road, watched your previous zambia trip and you need some in country knowledge about the changes in road quality! Let me know, cheers

[@Avantgardist]

Andrew loads up a new video => Like it => Watch the video.

[@bossadave]

Would be great to see a bargain build overland. Say for £10k buy and build the truck. It is easy to build something great when you get free parts but trying to find good budget parts and do it on a shoestring that is a real challenge. Would make a great series and possibly make over landing more accessible for people on a budget.

[@JimYeats]

I think this a great video series, particularly for folks to get an overall idea of how to examine, maintain, and fix a used car and get it prepared for the bush. The only thing that is unfortunate is that I can only imagine how much the total cost will be between buying the vehicle, spending days in a shop, and then the price of all of those parts (for someone who isn't sponsored). Good build to watch though!

[@fredwilkinson5059]

[@elliotsaxon7070]

Video of cleaning radiators ?

[@scottbloomfield2564]

As a mechanic this is something that has always baffled me.. why would you schedule something that could possibly make you hurry?? Do you ask your heart surgeon to hurry up?? Lets bring our car to the mechanic 2 days before we leave on a 2000 mile trip, it then becomes the mechanic problem if something doesn't go right. That's when huge errors happen. DON'T RUSH YOUR MECHANIC YOUR JUST ASKING FOR DISASTER!

[@Hotwire_RCTrix]

There are lubricant chemists who will tell you a lot more about oils than those guys. Big brand oil companies sell average oils/ lubricants. Note the oil is not the lubricant.

[@Didewro]

Hey Andrew. It would be great if you could tell us how much the whole build cost you once you are done.

@@phantomwalker8251 I think he said 150000 Rand which is about 13000 US or 15000 Aus Dollars.

[@GeertB84]

I like the videos. Very informative. Just a quick question: why didn't you fit a 1hdt or 1hdft? In my opinion a 1hz is a very slow and a bit underpowered engine...

[@Leon-lp9fl]

Starter sounds good and the black radiator absorbs heat even better, do not understand it but it worked on the old Army ambulances which had a tendency to overheat before painted. Great job Paul!

[@craigice9635]

Umm, no.

[@honorharrington4546]

Diesel starters must be rated for continuous duty. If I ran a gasoline engine starter that long like they did in the preview for next episode it would have the starter so hot it would fry the grease inside and the cables would be overheating. Could be why my starter costs around $40 and that starter probably around $250.

[@vrHGm]

What Rimula engine oil is that? You say that is 12lt of oil to the sump, so, there are differents 1hz with diferente sump size?? I have a HZJ73, always use Rimula R3x and always have the info that is 9.5lt for my engine.

[@mattparoz4246]

I’ve enjoyed watching the ol cruiser get a new lease on life. However, I’m confused. At 9:51 Paul says “permanent 4wd” but I see free wheeling hubs. I spose if they are in “lock” then all is fine.

[@ryancasey9185]

How much is this whole restoration process costing?

[@BASSHEADBOOM]

Ryan Casey that’s the real question everyone has at least thought once following this

[@alberttresslevic914]

Did he buy a lemon to start with or just a cheap and run down one? If I bought a 100 series that was well maintained, say for 25-30k I would expect that it wouldn't need much work to get it a functional and reliable tourer.

[@Ihaveabigbrownbear]

@@alberttresslevic914 it's all a misconception that toyota is king of reliability etc. Fact is they are just as susceptible as any other vehicle if used off road and not maintained. I work on them and find these exact same problems if they've been used off road. Most days the workshop is full of them requiring all the usual repairs. People love them because they believe they are the greatest and continue to throw money at them.

Is the 105 an iron block? if so do you see any benefit of painting it while it was out ? even if it was just for a little bit of rust prevention ? Or not worth it ? cheers

[@enzoleo]

is there a reason you use a different oil for the manual gearbox and transfer case?

[@4xoverland]

The break-at-your-peril rule is to stick to the manufacturer's specs and don't think you know more than they do.

@@4xoverland the manufacturer's spec calls for the same spec for both the manual and transfer case oil no?

Not common to find rusted cars in Africa and Australia

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

Well.... depends on where they live. In the bush ok but our old 60 spent much of it life metres from the sea and it was full of rust. That was what finally got me to sell it.

[@frankvanniekerk8472]

Andrew, after adding thousands and thousands of dollars worth of brand new parts, why would you compromise to recore the old radiator? It does not make any sense to go to all the trouble and then fit a rebuilt old radiator. Only new original equipment from Toyota should have been used and I know you know that. Don’t even try to start explaining of it having metals tanks instead of the OE polymer tanks. You know there is absolutely nothing better than Toyota original radiator and you know you took a short cut on a critical part!

[@lachlanhum5092]

Why did you use dot 4 when it is common for dot 4 to cause damage to seals in brake systems of Toyota's where they specify dot 3. I understand dot 4 has a higher boiling point with better specs but Toyota is one of the few manafactures that reccoment only dot 3. This vehicle is not a 1970s car that came with dot 3 that can be upgraded to dot 4 as it is later technology, this is from 1999+ and Toyota say use dot 3.

[@lachlanhum5092]

For a marginal increase in temperature it's not worth the risk regardless of manafacturer. Let's be honest In the 1hz when you take your foot off the accelerator it practically stops, with selecting the correct gear and speed for the situation and replacing the brake fluid regularly so it doesn't increase boiling point from the moisture content dot 3 is fine. I think it's a 50 degrees difference with boiling points around 400 degrees.
