"Renowned from adventurers to terrorists." Shit Tyler, I guess when you're right you're right.

[@l.k5244]

James Wisowaty Nah, terrorists have been using the brand new Hilux recently.

[@911epic]

i actually thought that the gap between adventurers to terrorists isnt that big if you think about it, i mean its probably exciting... in some ways

[@benjamindavidson632]

I just can't believe you said it but I'm glad he did hahaha

[@TheFabvt]

Please give the wizard a microphone...

[@RoyalKingA73]

Original Toyota. Still going strong

[@gordongreninger6109]

RoyalKingA73 If the girlfriends Rav4 was AWD then he picked the wrong Toyota for expedition work.

[@coreyalejos3472]

Lol it’s from the 90s. Don’t be too proud.

[@TempoMontages]

yea lets see 90s american cars last with out lots of work to keep it going

[@coreyalejos3472]

Hype Tempo have you ever been to America? About 30% of the cars are domestic and from the 90s. I’m not saying Japanese cars aren’t more reliable, I’m just saying that it’s not that impressive lol.

[@christianh.2950]

Hype Tempo I have a 98 Grand Cherokee and all I do is change the oil and put fuel in it. Still running strong with almost 216k

[@jospi2]

Everything a Hoovie video needs: A hooptie, the car wizard and mic problems.

[@nodsib]

..and music from an 80's style cheesy employee orientation video as the intro/outro

[@Lambdasonddd]

Is this Matt Farrah's million mile Lexus?

[@digitalrailroader]

Jeremy Saevn nope, wrong KZbin channel dingus! (A fellow RCR fan I see, if you don’t get what video got that RCR quote from, you fail!)

[@Speedycat]

THIS IS NOT MATT FARRAHS MILLION MILE LEXUS

[@GoldenRetrieverEnergy]

This is not Matt Farah's million mile Lexus. *thick Pennsylvanian accent*

[@piority9]

digitalrailroader its a joke.

[@Mateo12485]

Engineer six but is it Matt Farrah’s million mile Lexus?

[@vikingraiders4138]

Quality Japanese engineering instead of promoting cheap Chinese Watches.

[@popowazhere]

LOLOLOL

[@RemixedVoice]

Good luck with your movement lmao... Scandinavia is the last place on Earth that will promote nationalism.

[@ruthlessreid9172]

[@Living_Lodka]

I was waiting for "and then I'm going to give it a Doug score"

[@WimlyDoon]

I see you stopped detailing your cars after the amg was stolen

[@yukimasaheppe]

Wimly D just one of the few wise decisions he's made😂

[@Boss1186]

He got the NSX detailed there too and they messed up the coil packs by throwing water on the engine

[@ItsIdaho]

When did his car get stolen?

[@doctorboy5892]

Waste of money putting all that sh*t on that old huge piece of junk.

[@whatevernevermind5960]

Your videos are better than Doug’s in my opinion :-)

[@quirksandfeatures3215]

SashaUAE2020 The last guy who said that ended up with 2 junked MR-2's

[@vladmihai_]

SashaUAE2020 nah

[@rik8508]

They are not comparable i think

[@nissancorolla6988]

Doug is fucking shitty

[@rik8508]

A nissan corolla on the other hand, best car ever built!

[@northamericanauto43]

The Land Cruiser is probably the best SUV ever made.

[@mmaxud1319]

Finalllllyyyy a landcruiser video, been waiting for it since Ages when i used to be a sperm

[@wizardmix]

You NAILED the newer Toyota/Lexus design language with Predator. I couldn't figure out why I hated the designs so much and that's it! It's like VW/Audi and their stubborn cling to the Edsel grill. Why? Why? Why?

[@peterjones2845]

Still waiting for Bentley

[@quirksandfeatures3215]

I love my cheap Land cruiser But I hate my expensive Asian Girlfriend

[@joydeepmitra4114]

@spearofpower isn't that the case for most women around the world

[@AlanTrades]

Stop paying her silly! Did she leave you yet or are you still with her?

[@jonnybgooch]

You got him to skip? He's not a wizard, he's a saint

[@bobafett5838]

2:06 Tyler the type of guy to finger his car and make a struggling moaning noise right after taking the Tetanus shot.

[@tolrem]

They say in Australia that a Landrover is great for going into the Outback...but if you want to come out again get a Landcruiser.

[@birdmasterthecaffeinatedowl]

hoovie dont lie. you prob forgot you had it yourself lol

[@jajesamsigurno1002]

The piece that you will cut out for snorkel you can weld on the hole at the hatch.

[@jacobn3160]

jajesam sigurno yeah, that'd be a fantastic place for an air intake. It'd get loads of air 👍🏽

[@mikewallace2340]

Jacob Nichols he is saying to take the peice of metal that he cuts out for the snorkel and use it to cover the whole in the tailgate

[@karimakiki6424]

jajesam sigurno I was thinking the same thing!

[@pnwautocar5291]

jajesam sigurno that’s a good idea, actually

[@the_useless_photographer]

@@jacobn3160 read carefully again what he wrote.

[@LivingOnCash]

Don't paint the bumpers and sliders body color, leave them black unless you want to have not only the cheapest LX470 but the ugliest too!

[@SPNKr16]

Why not? Makes it unique.

[@Joe-fi4hv]

Agree, don't paint them the same color as the truck. The original design of the vehicle (as a whole) is consistent and proportional; that's why it's good looking (generally speaking). When you add all the aftermarket stuff you will disrupt that, making it a different kind of vehicle. Painting all the extras to match will be an attempt to bring it back to a consistent design but it will not and can not be proportional. It's gonna be damn ugly. When you break traditional proportions you have to own it. It's going to be an expedition rig; let it be one.

[@shawncerveny8354]

Paint to match the lower cladding...

[@heverson46]

for god sakes give wizard a mic!

[@777jones]

Oh hey. Might wanna detail that filthy dashboard.

[@moneyblade5]

I kind of want a v8 Lexus now.

[@iTzKomplett]

i bet that first shot, was shot on a gopro and cropped in haha

[@druidGAMER]

Best looking Cruiser/LX ever made

[@Nippledozer]

druid especially in pearl white with the facelift

[@markkibbe1802]

druid Yes, in the US market, although the foreign market Toyota Land Cruiser HZJ105, which had a 4.2L inline six turbo diesel, manual transmission, solid front and rear axles (all non J105's were independent front suspension), was far cooler. Plus, it was also a stripper model with no creature comforts, barn doors, no chrome, no black plastic crap on the bottom, and vinyl seats. The BJ73 is also really cool.

[@gordongreninger6109]

Over the past 12 months Ive had a rash of people rubber necking my car in traffic and rolling up on me at the gas pump. They often go on their way looking puzzled when they finally spy the Rav4 badges. Mine is an odd duck 5spd manual,full time 4x4 (60f-40r bias split), optional e-locking transfer case (50f-50r no bias), limited slip rear dif with 5:13 gear ratio (front dif as well), extra oem sheetmetal skid protection , 5 door Rav4 are pretty unusual with this drivetrain combination. They sit a smidge taller than the fwd examples and even the 4x4 automatics. Then throw in the optional oem flared wheel opening mouldings my Rav4 wears. Im not sure what people think it is but theyve become curious over the last year or so.

[@fizzyman1224]

fzj80 is way better

[@druidGAMER]

Mark Kibbe the HZJ105 is basically the same shape as the one shown in the video, just with almost no luxury features, black bumpers and a snorkel. An amazing off-roader. Never really liked the J73 though

[@raymondtwodog304]

I think you should follow your design instinct and paint the bumper and other body parts to match the truck color. Looking forward to seeing this finished. Have fun, Tyler.

[@philgrimsey3637]

I saw this channel described today as being "Doug DeMuro for people with no attention span". That made me chuckle :)

[@royal2b1]

i'll take reliability over personality any day

[@ericandrevarela5695]

sam They have personality, I think most americans dont get what the Land Cruiser or this case LX470 is all about.

[@MuffinRacing]

Taco Tuesday Aftermath should be the name of your Mariah Carey cover band

[@alexcruz4640]

Wizard should start a vlog where he talks about how to fix things on cars and how to do lifts or change oil I’d sub in a second 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@brandteous4232]

Please daily this

[@ihuomao6735]

The mpg will burn a hole in his pocket

[@turbodistortionirmc]

How dare you compare Nakamichi to Blose and Beets! Nakamichi kit is in a completely different league.

[@rollingtroll]

That Lexus is going to be badass. Comparing Nakamichi to Bose, H/K or Beats hurts my pile of Nakamichi cassette decks. That brand did some brilliant stuff. H/K did too, up to 1990 or so. But after, brrrrr...

[@travisandrews36]

This is the best stupid purchase you've made.

[@Dazedviper1]

really is . I want it

[@mianfazlerazik3636]

I like it when Tyler takes foolish decisions and talks like an immature 12 year old.... 🤣 love u tayler

[@harskehubbii]

6:33 the funniest shit ive ever seen , i love your chanel so much Hoovies Garage ,been here for a long time , i enjoy every video you make :)

[@rustytoyota]

I barely like your Channel. But I still watch it because Information.

[@bambychoi9366]

He barely likes you, but allows you to watch because subs.

[@gordongreninger6109]

Tell us more about the shampoo bottle and the medium pace.

[@TeddyPatrickS]

Hammer Smith what video evidence leads you to that conclusion? He’s so different from everyone. He has like 20 random used hoopties... and doesn’t blog haha

[@TeddyPatrickS]

Hammer Smith haha I meant vlog, not blog my bad. Yeah I mean but he does it in his own hoovie way. Vlogging is like what Parker from VV does. Hoovie doesn’t do that very often. He is undeniably different in my opinion which is why I love his videos. Just inquiring as to why you made that comment man, didn’t think your response needed to include a personal attack on my intellect lol. Thanks for another great video hoovie btw :)

[@ronald4life1]

He's like that drink you had that one time that was eh ok but kinda weird.. Then you had it again because it was offered to you, then randomly again until you realize "wait... I kinda like this now!" lol

[@Inverted_Driving]

I feel like you looked at a basic "overlanding" checkbox and just bought everything that was there. Idk what type of trips you're trying to do where every one of those pieces will be necessary.

[@Eargesplitten-Loudenboomer]

Do you think this is a game?

[@jamesbensch6]

My dad had a 2003 Corolla that was built about 20km away from our house. It also had over 375,000km. My mom wouldn't let him get rid of it as long as it still ran but he hated it lol. He finally sold it after they divorced. Toyotas last forever XD

[@mcearl8073]

Hamilton Dashcammer Longer than most marriages.

[@jeb419]

So you're saying your dad traded in for a newer model???

[@jamesbensch6]

jeb419 some guy came up to him in a parking lot and offered him $1,000. He took the money and went and bought a 2016 Elantra new. Though he only used that money as the down payment XD

[@jamesbensch6]

Bmac 814 haha that's so true XD

[@SPNKr16]

My dad had a 2003 Cocacola.

[@rEdHoUsE_1969]

Is it just me or does Doug look like the love child of Jay Leno & Ruth Buzzy??

[@jfsiiiautomotivereviews8343]

I agree! The barn doors and older tailgated GM suvs need to come back! Like if you agree!

[@Ristreeper]

Aw cmon thats the only one of your cars that I actually like....

[@Bamwheels]

Let it be black, it'll look lit with the snorkel and all, the look will be epic

[@alexstepanski]

So bad ass that your putting high dollar merch on a bottom dollar lexus. True hoovie fashion!

[@Charles-fo1js]

The front end looks like 1998. Not the model year of this car, but the year 1998 can be nutshelled just by staring into that front end.

[@RaytheonNublinski]

Hoovie is so down to earth even though he’s rich. That’s rare.

[@jakes5530]

Bullet Tooth Tony he is not rich. He owns around 10 cars under $10k, and lives in one of the least expensive states in America

[@Zeeangelofdeath]

Jake Stoler he is Rich you idiot, he owns a chain of restaurants.

[@broncokonco]

*his dad

[@jakes5530]

that means nothing you idiot, a landlord/owner for 3-5 restaurants probably net 40g each, if that. 200k is not rich by any means...

[@kuyans3889]

To buy and maintain all of those cars would be heaps. He can't be that poor.

[@gtoger]

[@Joey4420]

Leave the bumper Black, Please... And the thing you thought was a license plate mount is the Winch plate/mount. Ugh leave the protection parts BLACK.

[@blinkandhockeylvr182]

[@gustavodelamora3676]

For some reason I want to see them tan

[@saywhat9158]

[@markbass7145]

Try car-part . com for the hatch

[@markbass7145]

Theres one in California, its the same color, they want $550 for it they will probably ship it. Or you could get one cheaper and closer if you didn't mind painting it. Car-part

[@jeffreychristiansen7358]

Your videos really hit home for me Im a huge fan of taking old cars and blowing a bunch of money on them just to have something different from everything else on the road keep up the great work!

[@nonamus9947]

I’m literally in science class watching this

[@nonamus9947]

Okay, now I’m home I can watch this whole video

[@xoxoxar]

When I was little my parents owned 2 land cruisers.. damn I didn't appreciate those when we had them 😂

[@justanotherpersonhq6638]

Nice Toyota

[@WhereverHugo]

0:54 That rear wheel looks pretty weird, like it has positive camber or something

[@mattdias3412]

I love the way the new Lexus's look... I don't know why others don't.

[@RevereOverland]

I love those old Land Cruisers! I can't wait to see how it turns out. My vote is for leaving the bumper and sliders black.

[@AcuraAddicted]

Mariah used to be the best!

[@thivakarsaravanamuthu4744]

The only car that tyler cant break is a Toyota

[@DiscoMan]

Next you need to buy a Land Rover Discovery 2. You know why

[@TempoMontages]

i bought a discovery 2 for $1000 3 years ago and its leaked anti freeze the whole time and the power steering pump went out and i put mud tires on it. Pretty reliable besides having to check the anti freeze every few days

[@nwilczyn]

Mine has 162k miles, going strong although not without frequent maintenance! Come to Detroit anytime you want to get warm and snuggly with my LR Disco 2 for a vid, Mr Hoover!

[@DiscoMan]

I've had 3 discoveries, currently own 1 D2. They're good trucks; not for everyone (most people for that matter).

[@timshelby2324]

Worth every penny. NOT!

[@wouterdob]

Can you give more info about the prius

[@Stylemaster911]

Good stuff! I've heard mixed things about the ride quality of older Emu stuff, but apparently their newer stuff is better. Also real good choice to get an ARB bar. Can't wait for this! Also, do you plan to get new axles or new diffs to get lockers? Would be good for off-roading to get at least a rear locker.

[@shekharmoona544]

Doug should have never purchased that Range Rover. Lol

[@jcasidy1]

Shekhar Moona not just Doug... no one should purchase one. Like a great looking girlfriend that you love to take out and show off, but she's draining your bank account day by day....

[@shekharmoona544]

jcasidy1 sounds like my ex-wife. Lol

[@ravip92]

I think for today's time I purchased the cheapest cruiser. A 99lz470 with 238k miles from a old lady for $750 same color. All it needed was valve cover gaskets and a tune up. Southern truck

[@chaitanyarao5546]

Here's why the Toyota Land Cruiser is worth..wait, wrong channel

[@Curryolla]

Love my 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser. I have no doubt this one will serve you well. By the way...TRD Supercharger Kit...just saying...

[@UHGPRA]

Color match the front!

[@SPNKr16]

I agree. It'll be unique like that.

[@markreida2349]

This is going to be one of your best builds! These trucks have a huge following, build it and take it to MOAB. Add lockers and the front differential is a week point. Do not forget the differential drop kit to keep the front axles in line after you lift it.Subscribed!

You have an SUV with an engine that has been proven to last 1 million miles. It's the only gas engine in the world so far!!!

[@RaceDude57]

2:42 Starts right up... My mom bought a new 2006 Toyota Sequoia (same engine) and we sold it in 2015 with 97k miles on it. She bought a used 2012 GMC Yukon XL and just after the 3 year ownership experience and 77k miles, we have put more money into this car then the Sequoia ever had! I truly believe Japanese cars are built better than American ones! I have no clue why we got rid of that car!

[@cunt4003]

Good channel man. There are already a million people doing generic car reviews of cool cars no on can afford, these are more relatable and interesting on average.

[@kkv6124]

[@curtisj6349]

all that stuff going to make his Land Cruiser slow as hell!

[@saucehollywood]

Curtis J and they're slow as shit to begin with... Still fun to drive tho

[@CarEvolution1]

I've never heard someone call their Escalade a Tahoe or their ATS coupe a Camaro or their Lexus SC a Supra, so stop fucking calling your LX470 a Land Cruiser REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@mediumunwell]

Hey, Hoovie! You have a great collection of achievable cars and you present them in a funny and relatable manner. Props to ya!

[@harpreet222]

Land cruiser vs the cheep jeep

[@Toyota4Life]

This is the best used older SUV money can buy. The whole "image" thing about the Range Rover that doesn't apply to everyone and shouldn't be a factor because the end of the day it's still a Lexus in which they have a very good image. Lexus used to be song about in all kinds of song back then so they never made boring cars they made classy luxurious cars back then not boring. Another note the new Lexus front end is not ugly across the board. The Lexus LC500 hands down looks better then any luxury coupe from Germany. But the grill needs to be adjusted some more on their SUV's but they work on the cars.

Here I am looking at Lexus LX 450s on Autotrader to do the same thing but my pockets are not deep as yours. Yes colour match the black bits to the body colour it looks way better. Welcome to overlanding my friend.
