Classic or Crap? Toyota LandCruiser 60 Series (1980-1990) - used car review | ReDriven

[@lcarocham]

Family owned one with a 2F for 30 years and we absolutely loved it. We had a farm so it saw a lot of mud, hills, water and what not. You could load that thing with barbed wire, cattle food, and a bunch of tools and it would just go no matter the terrain. Handling on paved road was crappy at best and yes, a 4 hour journey seemed endless and it certainly did have an impact on your kidneys and your back but off road was something else. Im actually in the process of buying back from a family member we sold it to.

[@garryli2030]

It could be easily sold for 250k like a new car. This thing is outrageous

[@baileycooper2269]

Definitely the best 4x4, daily drive mine and do massive trips regularly and love it

[@ReDriven]

Awesome mate, great to hear

[@andrewrz7141]

Bailey Cooper, how unstable is that model? I give as an example the second generation ford explorer that gave a lot of talk for overturning.

[@blacktopimages]

@@andrewrz7141 you can't tip them over unless you're offroad on a crazy track, I've had plenty of these and the angles they achieve are nothing short of terrifying. But at speed, might be a different story, lucky they never reach speeds considered fast

[@MoreFoodNowPlease]

We took the spare tyre out of the well and changed it to a 200 litre tank. Got 1300 km range. All the after market parts broke in under a year offroad on rough terrain, but the standard gear was bulletproof. Lent it to some drillers, who managed to roll it twice on straight graded roads in the following 4 months. Main problem was the narrow radiator, which caused overheating when the temperature was over 45°. One day at 52°, the battery boiled dry. Fortunately, parking on the side of a dune or dam allowed us to roll start for the next week. Used a snap strap between bull bars on 2 of them to pull start one in reverse. Very reliable. The snorkel allowed us to go through fairly deep rivers, ie, water up to the doors, crossing Coopers Creek etc, but wasn't a roof snorkel. They seem awesome. Worst day was getting a flat going downhill on a long bridge and running down through the gears until the rear left caught fire. The 8000 detonators on the back seat came out first. Second worst day was driving it to my house in Brisbane, where I parked in my apartment garage and we had to climb out the back door, as it was the same width as the parking space. Very embarrassing. My girlfriend thought I was an idiot.

[@dar3726]

I brought a 60 series and took it to PNG. It's been on some of the tuffest tracks imaginable, and always gets me home. I have pulled out trucks stuck in mud, and many newer flashier 4wd! However yes the ride is terrible,uncomfortable etc. But a little discomfort is much better than getting stuck in the middle of nowhere. In my opinion its the number one choice if you need something that can take you to nowhere and back!

Great video, I love my non turbo 2H ,86 model, its not mint but is very good, its a strange model as it has many factory options like freezing cold AC, inclometer, rear heater ,cloth seats, carpet, yet it has barn doors ,manual windows, it is amazing offroad, flexes suppurbly ,climbs anything in low range, I acually love driving it ,its a feel good drive, it steers like a houseboat, it wouldnt pull the skin off a rice pudding, and cannot hold speed limits up most hills, but i love driving it ,mine has done over half a million kms and the 2H engine has never been opened, and it is dry as a bone, not a single oil leak from anywhere ,rust, i had it all repaired, converted and rust proofed the best i could,A pillars , that bloody roof at the gutters ,and I did a full doors off colour change from white to 464 beige, mine still has the grey split rims on it with skinnies , its just got to the stage I need to overhaul the H55 gearbox and transfer before next large trip or extreme offroad ,else i would drive it around and across Ausralia tomorrow without a worry, extras, ARB front bar, twin lockers ,aux batttery, Barret self tune HF, with all RFDS ,standard UHF,27MEG CB radios in a roof console , light weight home made aluminium fridge slide, no drawer system best to keep them light as possible

Great video. I inherited a 1983 model that my old man bought new from the dealer. I’m never going to sell it but it’s nice to hear that they are appreciating nicely.

Oh wow!!!! Congrats!!! - AK

[@Mrbeast0099]

I also have a 1983 that I got from a farmer who bought it in the same small town I live in 38 years ago!! Not a spec of rust

[@akfishguide]

Purchased an 87 FJ60 last September, after changing gaskets, hoses, seals, etc. it runs like a dream. If you're looking to get one of these, get in early because they're rising in value everyday! I'm 22 and afford maintenance and parts on my own. It's tough but a labor of love.

[@ReDriven]

Brilliant mate, awesome to hear.

[@jonathanhandsmusic]

I love my 87 fj60. I’ve had it for 15 years and I can honestly say it is the best designed, best running truck I’ve ever had. The body is beautiful, timeless lines. It’s not huge, but it has plenty of room. Yes, it’s prone to rust. And don’t ever buy one that’s been off roaded. Mine is a North American standard model. 240k miles and doesn’t burn a drop of oil. If I didn’t own it, I probably would look for something smaller, that gets better mileage. But for me, and my lifestyle, it’s perfect. Good video.

[@ReDriven]

Awesome mate and thanks!!

[@paulboon1100]

Have owned an "86 fj62 sahara auto on gas/petrol for 22 years has done 630.000km, daily used, others have come and gone, just done 2 7000km trips in the outback and going again shortly, best car ive owned, no not selling anytime soon. Weak points, slow and auto gearbox just put the third one in, last one only lasted 350.000km, not to bad I guess. All the rest still going strong, only replaced peripherals eg starter motor, radiator, discs etc.yes still have the rear air-conditioning and all electrics still work and no rattles! Needs paint but then, paint is like chrome it dont get you home.

[@ReDriven]

Awesome to read this mate. Thanks for watching and commenting too.

[@blacksquirrel4008]

My Dad bought an ‘84 in 1987 and I gave him a hard time, as all the LCs I had seen were rusted as soon as they got home. He said “This one won’t, I took it to Rusty Jones for rust proofing.” “Oh Dad, that’s a scam.” It’s 38 years old now, I still drive it and the only rust it’s had was the front door edges. At 140,000 miles it’s only appreciating.

[@Blueblur444]

I absolutely love the 60s - I have an 80 myself as it's just that little bit nicer to live with in regards to running costs and maintenance, but a close mate has a fairly tidy 3F petrol one and in terms of styling and how it drives, it's such a cool old rig.

[@ivorb]

We have a 1987 HJ61 VX in Washington State. It's a JDM and one of the first in the state. It attracts a lot of looks and questions and we absolutely love to drive it. Still one of my all-time favorite rigs.

[@jmac_519]

I can't believe it took me this long to find this video. I know the guy who owned that very 60 series at the time - legend! He let me drive it when I was about 19, so very brave. He doesn't own it anymore, but he took great care of it and absolutely loved it. If I had the money, I would have bought it off him in a heartbeat! Iconic, legendary, reliable as hell, gorgeous and a whole lot of fun!

Bought an FJ62 from a one owner and drove it about 2k miles before I found out the spark plugs were shot and the air filter was clogged, yet still chugging along. It also barely had any oil in it. Of course I got it all fixed, and now runs much better as should. These trucks are a different breed of durability.

[@jessecampbell4580]

The biggest problem if you live in a place with real winters, like I do in Canada, is rust, rust, rust. Be realistic about what you can handle if you're buying one. Unless you have a sizable garage and the ability to weld stay away from any rust. Always male sure to check the air cabin air inlet under the cowl. If that is rusted out its a pain to fix and water will leak into the cabin in the rain. Water leakage can be a huge problem from other places too. If you're looking to buy one spray it down with a hose or take it through a car wash and check for water leaking down into the driver and passenger footwells. Even lift the carpet.

[@joecruiser]

I have owned my base model '89 FJ62 with the 3F for 25 years now. My daily drive and sitting at 340k kms. This vehicle cannot be compared to other 4x4's. I will be including it in my last will.

[@206dvr]

I had an '84 FJ60 with California emissions control on it. The emissions control system is all vacuum and mechanical. It looks like a Rube Goldberg snake pit. Leaks are hard to find and make it run horribly. Also, the power steering pump is above the air pump. If the PS leaks, the fluid will fry the bearings in the air pump, which will then freeze. The air pump belt also drives the water pump so, when it breaks, instant overheat. Toyota thoughtfully designed it so you can rob the compressor belt to run just the water pump and alternator. Who needs a/c anyway? Bottom line, after 5 years I sold my 60 and bought a full factory locked FZJ80. I couldn't be happier.

[@robertdavey319]

I had a petrol 60 series then an fj62 and I loved driving them but serious off roading, they are not that tough, I broke a cv joint, the gear box and rear axle studs. The LSD they come with don't work so I got auto diff locks back and front but in the end I swapped it for a Nissan patrol petrol with coil springs which left the old land cruiser for dead, no comparison and the patrol driveline was much stronger , bigger axles, tougher gearbox , better cv joints and the LSD was the best, no diff lock required. So having both, I highly recommend the patrol over the land cruiser

I love their names!

@@edenseensindestructibles7527 Yeah me too. The Dog Truck name was a little harsh at the time but these days it fits perfectly. It has two cargo barriers one behind the front seat and one I fudged up from a Ford falcon barrier at the tail gate. I should do a video just on the back of The Dog Truck. I can leave the tail gate open if the dogs are in the back of the car and the GP (General Population) are still safe. Subscribe to my channel and I’ll see what I can come up with. ;)

My fj62 is called "Thirsty".

The vague steering and harsh ride is all I need to know, as I don’t think I’ll ever get a chance to drive one. A couple of these in my local area owned by rich old guys and I drool, but now I know I won’t want to own one. Obviously my (now sold) 200 series was a different animal

Yes, the turbo diesels might be ok, but I had a petrol automatic - slow as a dog to take off and go up hills. Sucked a lot of juice too. I have an old Jackaroo now - a lighter car, performs better on the road, might not be as tough off road, but tough enough for most purposes.

Fantastic video I’ve never owned one I’ve had a 100 and 80 series I currently have a 200

Thanks Dave!

[@jeffsama7601]

I think I'll export my hj60 to Australia to have it restored

[@edenseensindestructibles7527]

I can relate to you what feel

[@damilolaakanni]

1:49 ah, yes, the legendary "iron pig" as it was affectionately called.😁
