WHY I LOVE LAND CRUISERS? ASPW StoryTIME

The big question is, after I replace my Land Cruiser Troopcarrier, should I stay with Toyota Land Cruisers? This is the story of my history of 17 years driving Land Cruisers.

Land Cruisers can only be understood once you’ve owned an driven them! I am blessed presently to own 1x 76V8 1x70 V8 1x79 V8 (received new today) I have had a 105 GX and a couple of the 1hz converted by Meanos. Land Cruisers are a illness and I’ve never found the cure, nothing comes close to what these platforms have to offer. Why don’t you do a build on a 70 V8 single cab platform, the possibility’s are endless there and you’ll have the load rating. From what I see you generally on your own or with one other so the single cab could work for you.

I'm guessing a 79 ute with a camper of some type. A camper that flips open. Maybe even a duel axle conversion.

[@stefhanvandermeer475]

Andrew, in my best English as a German and Engineer. First and foremost congratulations on your beautiful documentaries, hopefully you will continue this way. Your reports are also very funny in the good sense then! I have been traveling around the planet for 45 years, including in Africa, Russia, Canada, South and North America, China, Mongolia .... and I know how to apreciate Toyota, especially for easy spare parts.But like I heard, I drive cars built in my country, so that is a Landed (Prof.) and Unimog, both automatic and Daimler Benz. With these two I have never had any problems, apart from the classic things tires, filters etc ... Like with Toyota that I also drove in trips through RSA, Botswana, Mozambique. But I have a sugestion for you, try a UNIMOG from ATLAS4X4 or a G. with flat bed. On the latter you build a beautiful Overlander with the removable Ossewagen (RSA) of the company Alu Cab as an example. This type of vehicle is the absolute best for people like us, Overlanders. I continue to follow your reports with great interest, because as a German, you can also learn something ... from YOU ... SUCCESS FURTHER. greatings from EU Germany, Stefhan Rockwell.

[@Smilebydrlo]

Andrew! Get a G professional! You should also think about getting a sponsorship from Coke cola! LOL

[@TheBg604]

I think a 200 series chopped will be the next vehicle. But very difficult to improve on the troopy.

[@kevindawson8277]

I enjoy your videos and stories more than any other. While our terrain here in Canada shares very little in common with the terrains you pursue and conquer, a lot of your ideas and solutions can be beneficial in all types of terrain. Your willingness to give new products a true and fair review, report the pros and cons unbiased, puts you in a class above the rest. Thank you for sharing your adventures, trials and tribulations, and expertise with us. The world needs more like you! Happy 4-wheeling and Overlanding!

[@alians1978]

Yep I'm with you

[@philhealey449]

I have had the equivalent W461 300CDI Military now for 7 years. Great power, permanent 4WD and better aircon , 24V and 12V electrics, but horribly rough suspension, worse seats, loss of inestructable vinyl flooring, wrong side handbrake, manual window winding and far less reliability than stupidly sold previous 290GD. That one was definitely Mercedes' finest hour.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

I am absolutely blown away by that dual cab 79 conversion, absolutely amazing to see. They were the originators of the dual cab 79. And it looked fantastic. Incredibly cool

[@thermojo5223]

I’m going to guess one of three 1. Land Cruiser 79 dual cab 2. Land Cruiser 200 (chopped) 3. Land Cruiser Prado Out of the three I’d like to see a Land Cruiser Prado build as I think it offers potential consumers an opportunity to see a gateway into building a true overland vehicle that’s refined to a modern standard, can do the suburban and work runs during the week yet have the ability to go anywhere. The other two options would be impressive but are rather niche and expensive. The engineer in me would like to see a comprehensive build of a chopped 200 from yourself though. Finally I love a 79 but living in Perth and working all across regional Australia I think the 79 series build with an open chequebook has been over done (testament to the Australian economy) Keep up the good work Andrew, I look forward to your choice.

[@flyingbirdz7456]

i agree

[@ahmed91750]

Why are they so expensive yet they don’t have any equipment or anything that justifies the price? I absolutely love them but they are expensive , I am talking about the 70 series land cruisers

[@mrme982007]

My guess is you are going to chop a 200 into a ute/pickup and build a camper thing on the back... which would be amazing... twin turbo 4.5 V8!

[@satellizera6446]

Would be cheaper to twin turbo a twin cab 79. Then you get a solid front too

He said the 1HZ 105 series was the only one he regrets selling. I think he will get another 105 and convert the engine to either the 1hdft or 1hdfte and he will do the rooftop mod on that. Just my 2 cents

[@fishpest2039]

my thoughts exactly, at a 1/3 of the price of a new 200

[@championproduct]

I’m thinking Iveco daily camper , otherwise your only other option is another troopy. Btw why do you have to sell this one and get another ? I don’t understand fully ?

[@shotgun283]

I agree, Iveco would b the only other choice to a troopy

[@championproduct]

Fabian Petroni yeh that’s not enough good reason to sell the car and buy another money Pitt 😂😂😁. He should just build for others and profit off that in my opinion. Iveco would be the ultimate I reckon , just very big . I can’t think of anything else that could be any good outside the troopy. Maybe a troopy with automatic ?? 😁

[@gaj5701]

From the Iveco video andrew did, he was very clear in saying it wasn't for him so unless something changes I can't see it featuring. Having driven one, they do seem to be very capable & don't feel all that big, however I wouldn't want to park one up at the supermarket on a regular basis or remodel a garage to park it in between trips. Plus there's many online posts questioning the reliability in the field & coming from the notoriously sturdy LC family of vehicles it would be a big decision to go that way. Who knows though, there'll be a few cokes between now & purchase day so anything can happen

[@championproduct]

GAJ some good points , he could change his mind . The Iveco would be the only other vehicle outside Toyota on the “new scale of vehicles”. ID go older patrol. Could he do ranger or rubicon ? He might want to fancy it up abit and give himself breakdowns and headaches 😂😂😂

[@gaj5701]

I'd probably say a G Wagen with a composite walkthrough body like the Euro overlanders love so much would probably fit the bill & be around the same price as a kitted out Iveco. Definitely more practical too. Personally if I was Andrew I'd go with another troopy, stick a decent sized rear coil sprung axle on it, go for a Mulgo pop top (far better quality than Alu-Cab from what I've seen on their Defenders) & do the interior like a Hesch Defender to make it far more ergonomic as a living/workspace. The biggest problem with this current set up is the side storage being the same height so to sit on one using the other as a table would really knacker the lumbar spine up. By having a height differential, the seat would be at the right height & you could have a fold out/down desk from the opposite, taller, storage unit to be at the right level for working on comfortably. Not massive modifications, but very ergonomic & practical as I can't see why anyone going overlanding would need more than you could fit in a troopy, apart from luxurious comfort & space which means buying something much bigger.

[@aussiedrifter]

Its a Mitsubishi FUSO possibly in collaboration with Earth Cruiser or ATW.

[@condog321]

My two cents; a single cab (two seats are plenty) 79 with a GVM upgrade and a nice comfy camper on the back. A good GVM upgrade will bring the payload up to the G-professional but you get the better engine (PDP tuned of coursed) and get the parts availability and drivability over the IVECO. I also speculate a 'cruiser' brings more views. Interested to see what you do.

[@kentm75]

This would be my vote also

[@gameon6159]

Perentie 6wd dual cab, why not? (Plenty of good reasons) I’d enjoy watching it though.

[@wynandV]

I think a 350D G-wagon. There are no real overland G-Wagons and you like challenges.

[@usmansm805]

Andrew you should definitely build up a UNIMOG they are loved by the Land cruiser fans and Aussies, if no one brought it from you and if you also didnt like it then i sell over to me. they are the big Cousins of the Land cruisers, at least try em n you will know what i am talking about.

[@darkleon81]

Good evening Sir, I want to thank you for all your teachings of the wild life, but I especially wanted to tell you that I am a lover of TOYOTA, that I am very passionate to know that there is someone with tastes so similar to mine, and that I envy him I mean the best way in the good sense of the word you have lived a life that in my opinion is enviable, I admire a lot and wish someday to follow your example, thanks for everything related to the world of 4x4, I would like to live literally in a toyota series VDJ76, the best I think the power it has is impressive, a V8 of 4500cc diessel is a tremendous power, although the comfort of the series 100, is tremendous, I hope not to be inappropriate with my comments I wish that every day of Your life is the best, blessed ..... And beware of lions. 😁👌

[@adzthomasmith]

I’d really like to see you build something different like an Isuzu D-MAX/MU-X. You mentioned that you really liked the D-MAX when you used one a few years ago and considering their current popularity in Australia as well as their proven reliability I think it would be a good alternative to the big Toyota’s.

[@bikerman6907]

3 k's per litre is worse than a Unimog! Unimogs get around 4-5k's per litre of diesel. A petrol engine should get more than that, even fully laden. So you bought another twin cab. Or a wagon?

Spartan is key, whatever you get next. You've allready had the 105 and the 70 series, mentioning that the 105 is based on the incredible 80-series chassis, why not build on the 80-series next?

[@anandpatil4998]

I have 3 vehicles that I think you will go for. 1. 79 Series with 6x6 conversion, the one you drove in the middle east. I remember you being in love with that vehicle, because of it's payload capacity, but, you cant live inside of it unless you already have figured out the conversion to do so. 2. I would have said Iveco, but I know ingress-egress is a problem for you, I remember you mentioning about it. 3. I'd love to see you build this one. A Mercedes G Wagon Professional either station wagon or pick-up. We all know you love old G-wagon, which is how it is being sold down under; and I guess you will enjoy owning G-wagon after quit a long time. 4. This one, I'm just throwing in because again, I'd love to see you build it. A Unimog, but again I guess it's too big to be on trails, and back country roads. 5. How about a Sprinter 4x4, or Ford E-250 van with 4x4 sports mobile conversion? I don't know if they sell them in Australia. But, after Troopy I can see you build something like this. It's almost the same size as Troopy, slightly bigger, easy ingress-egress, you can get them in diesel(I hope), and you can live inside the vehicle, do similar conversion of roof top tent as the Troopy. Please, let me know what do you think. I hope I got it. Thank you. Regards.

[@macmurfy2jka]

Anand Patil I think you are close with the 4x4 van. Especially if he plans on using it in the USA.

[@fastandcurious]

Yes. 4x4 sprinter. I love the idea of "cargo clips", a relatively new german company that makes inside panels with an ingenious hook system for all kind of tools, boxes, shelves and even a toilet system. Great basis for overlanding trips.

[@petersaczko6192]

[@aidenpocock6424]

Sponsorship from John Madill Toyota and Creative Conversions, but ultimately for the offered 4.2t BTC to tow the 7.2m boat. You can’t get that with other non-American 4WDs. Jase’s personal vehicle is actually a Y62 Patrol and he used to drive a non-sponsored Y61 Patrol in A4A. That tells me he’s a Nissan man at heart.

[@dpdog88]

@@aidenpocock6424 shame nissan gave up on diesel, definitely locked them out of the 4x4 touring market in Australia

[@aidenpocock6424]

Yes. Plus the absence of a rear live axle. But I’d be so pumped if Jase put himself in a chopped and extended Y62 Patrol and Simon in a chopped and extended Y61 Patrol imported from Africa or the Middle East. That would mirror the 200 and 79.

Sounds like a 40 minute love-song for Land Cruisers. Recently watched your 6x6 series and I feel a dual cab 6x6 79 series is where you're headed.

2020 Defender maybe? Unless JLR surprise us I suspect not. I would like to see you test one against the Jeep Gladiator when they come out.

[@richardclarke2670]

I think Andrew is building an overland Jeep Gladiator Rubicon !!

[@forestroadexplorer]

Love your style that you tell and explain everything. Real information and life experience. Thank you for sharing this videos and your knowledge.

[@TheCandyman351]

Hey hard one, build your 6 wheeler but in a Troopy with extra room for your editing win win 😎👌

[@urmaalin]

Hello from Italy, Turin!! Now that you have so much experience, the next one It will possibly be the best car that you ever build? I'm so curios..

[@KirkbySteve]

105 Series Landcruiser, converted from Petrol to 4.2L Turbo Diesel from a 100series via engine swap.

[@benc021]

It would be cheaper and easier to convert a 105 with the 1hz and chuck in a 1hd fte instead of petrol.

[@DSORDR1]

@@benc021 is that considering the initial cost of the 105 HZ would be a little more than a petrol?

[@benc021]

DSORDR1 you can get hz’s for close to the 1fz’s price. Not sure if exact numbers but converting a petrol to a diesel would cost a lot more than just putting a different Diesel engine in

[@benc021]

DSORDR1 there’s a few 1hz’s on car sales for 20k or under without really high kms. I got my petrol 105 for 18k from a dealer only had 150k kms on it so it is very clean and in good shape in and out. Obviously you can get a petrol 105 for around 12k with high kms though.

[@sethwilliamson]

Oof! 3 km/L! (33 L per 100 km or 7 miles per US gallon) Ouch.

It’s very important that the Y61 is not forgotten. Nissan canceling production for Australia was a crime for which we will never forget.

Save your hard earned money and buy a Toyota.

[@mermaidsurfer]

Love your videos and your builds but really don’t care what you will build. The whole idea of watching these episodes is to see someone else’s story. So build it and we will watch. Get it.and glad your Down under might cross paths one day with my camel trophy Disco.

You should get a classic Range Rover and outfit it with modern overland equipment , then keep it . If you need to change something change it , not the vehicle . Changing everything including the vehicle will always prevent you building the perfect truck , tweek the setup till it's perfect . Range Rover was your first big love , you now have the experience ( and the finances) to build the ultimate Range Rover and rekindle the affair .

[@edialbert8035]

I’m guessing that your next project is going to be a Land cruiser 80 series with a 4.2 multivalve engine 🤠 I have a question, and I would appreciate your opinion and maybe some suggestions. I acquired some time ago a 1988 Jeep Comanche Laredo with the metric ton package and the straight six 4.0 liter engine. Everything is all stock, as far as I know. What are you thoughts on this pickup, and what do you think is achievable with this truck? Regards from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@mrfitba]

Have to be a 200 series wagon? I drove one for 14 months when working in remote South Australia. 4.8TD. Built to last. Get rid of the Dunlop tyres it comes with. It should take you where ever you want to go.
