Cummins Swapped Land Cruiser Recovering Stuck Vehicles In The Snow

[@tkclips506]

Yes yes yes. Very good content. Helping out and having a good time, win win. 👍🏼

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

It was awesome! Helping others is the most fulfilling

[@kevingross7139]

Might think about getting a Yankom rope. Would help in doing recoveries.

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

Yeah I looked those up as soon as I got home! Will be getting a heavy duty one so I can even pull out tractors

[@SpamAccount-q9i]

Hey, you might want to look into to the physics behind them a bit. To my understanding buying one too heavy for your vehicle eliminates the benefit of the stretchy ropes

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

@ ah ok gotcha, I’ll do some research, probably just the one that works for heavy duty trucks will work

[@gabemiller9873]

Get a bubba!!! Better ropes ​@@Austin_SaintOnge

[@Owen_Earl]

Sweet video. That rig is what dreams are made of!

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

Agreed! Thank you n

[@coopkink]

diesel fzj 80 is such a cool rig, id love to build one like this

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

Agreed! I wish we got diesels in the states. We didn’t, so I had to just make one 🤠

[@elektro3000]

I LOVE hearing a Land Cruiser make 6BT noises. I'm seriously considering putting a 1HD-FTE into my UZJ100.

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

That’s my favorite thing about it, the contrast in looks and sound. Also the power and mpg

[@adventuretrails1ato]

WOW so COOL ! Pulling everyone out! Great video 👍👍👍

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

Thanks! Was lots of fun 🙂

[@rustyintheoutdoors]

Heck ya, she ate the snow up! Nice job on the recoveries, I’m sure that was satisfying.

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

Literally what I was just saying! It looked like she was eating the snow😆 yeah it was super satisfying

[@mkeller8114]

Thing sounds awesome. Love your rig.

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

Thank you! That’s actually one of my favorite things about it is just the sound

[@joelarias55]

Your Land Cruiser theme song is born in USA , play that next time you pull something

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

Haha I love it

[@Mumblix]

VERY nice! I've got a 96 FZJ80 with a 3 inch Old Man Emu lift and 35" tires. I'd love to do an engine swap like yours someday, but stock is easier and a whole lot cheaper! I need to get back out in the snow pretty soon.

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

For sure I get you, you get a lot of bang for your buck with the 1fz! And yeah I’ll be going with a 2 inch lift here soon!

[@budalanemac3115]

If you lift, get a bit bigger control arms etc...

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

@ yeah luckily with just a 2 inch lift you don’t really need a whole lot of things done to keep it driving straight down the road

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

@ Ironman 4x4

[@299charles]

Kinetic rope

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

Yes! Buying a yankum rope after that🤣

[@addisonsmith3503]

HELL YEAH BROTHER. The only mistake Toyota made was not putting more diesels in USDM vehicles. Man I was my taco was a 1kz or 1kd

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

Agreed! I wonder what the real reason is why we didn’t get them 🧐

[@hlyangel1]

👏 Nice work

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

Thanks! Was so much fun!

[@gabemiller9873]

I wanna come do a offroad trip with ya! I have a ls2 swapped 80 :)

[@salvadorgutierrez2108]

Sound Nice That Ingen Cummins 🙏

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

It sounds so rowdy!

[@mikedebear]

Looks kind of like you guys were playing up near Fernan Saddle

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

That’s exactly where we were at! The top staging area

[@BeeChan_]

Such a cool build. Subd!

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

Thanks! Looking forward to many more adventures!

[@MuscleKik-nq9sl]

hey Austin, i want to do same thing to my '96 80 series, but i would like to keep original automatic transmission. i dont have 6BT, nor i have knowledge to do it my salf. will you be interested to do it for a customer?

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

I’d have to inquire about whether or not the kit for the automatic transmission adapter is still available, but yes I can definitely do it for you! Would you be opposed to doing the nv4500? You can also message me on instagram so it’ll be easier to go back and forth @ austin_st.onge

[@ericshayer]

did you keep the original diferential? Does it handle well all this power?

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

I did! My last swap was on 40s and the drivetrain held up fine. Just can’t gun it and wheel hop or you’ll break an axle. It really doesn’t feel much different than the original engine

[@5265060]

Good Show w/ the Cummins Cruiser! My only question is how did everyone who got stuck get up there in the first place? haha

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

Thanks! It was super fun! The road up there was decently plowed, but at the top it’s completely uncovered. Also the snow came in thick and deep real quick!

[@5265060]

@@Austin_SaintOnge well I'm super jealous, all we've gotten here is rain. Cheers on the recoveries!

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

@ that’s what it been here as well! Had to gain some elevation to get the powder

[@stevenfreytag3710]

Uphill has right of way. Thats the rule. You easily could have pulled off to the right

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

Yeah I initially tried, was getting stuck in the ruts, I’ll remember for next time thanks!

[@299charles]

I want a Suburban 2500 4x4 with a 6BT……6 inch lift and 37 Bfg’s……😊😊

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

Yeah I’ve seen a build like that it would be sick! I’m on 1 inch body lift and 37s but rub a little. Going to a 2 inch lift in a couple weeks!

[@TLC-HDJ80]

Hello friend, what size are the tires and is the car raised?

[@_beanswick2054]

Watch his previous video and find out !!

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

37x12.50r17 and 1 inch body lift!

[@TLC-HDJ80]

@ fuhaaa you're an expert 😃 I have 2" and 315/75r16 got in there with a little soul 🙉 Yokohama are massive tires compared to CF 3000.

[@gen1c8rs88]

@@Austin_SaintOnge 1 inch body lift and a future 2 inch coil spring lift ?

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

@ precisely

[@momitch62]

dang that’s so sick

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

Thanks! I’m enjoying it😀

[@GhostNinjaTactical]

Bro is rubbing like crazy ouch!

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

Haha yup! It self clearanced quite a bit. I’ll be adding a 2 inch lift soon and ‘massaging’ the wheel wells 😆

[@gen1c8rs88]

Wondering why a BFG KO2/K03 vs a Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT? A complete explanation if you want will get 3👍 up from me technically speaking👍

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

Haven’t tried the Mickey Thompson ats. So I can’t actually say these are the best, just lots of people confirming that this tread pattern is really favorable for snow

[@ponypwr]

Ko3 is the best at tire on the market. Also great on the road and last forever.

[@gen1c8rs88]

@@Austin_SaintOnge The K02 does have good snow retention👍👌

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

@ I’ll probably end up going to those next!

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

@ yeah they’ve been so good in the snow compared to the mud tires I’ve been running

[@alexquad9603]

Hello friend, which engine have you installed?

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

It’s a 12 valve 6bt intercooled with a ve pump!

[@snivesz32]

What’s your locker situation?

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

It’s triple locked from the factory!

[@snivesz32]

@ Oh that’s pretty convenient, what’s the third one? A center lock? I don’t think I even have one of those on my 4x4.

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

@ yup it’s a center lock

[@ananamusly]

Which cummins?

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

12 valve 6bt with a ve pump

[@Auxbeam]

Hi Do you interested in adding some LED upgrade to your rig? We hope to do some sponsorship with you!

[@gabemiller9873]

I would love it! I imported my 80 from Sydney, just started a KZbin channel @bucketlist4wd

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

I’d be interested! Just sent you an email

[@Auxbeam]

@@Austin_SaintOnge Sure! Let's talk!

[@abdulRafaykhaout]

Why theiz big pickup stuck and landcruser doesn't?

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

He didn’t have lockers/snow tires also he’s very heavy

[@abdulRafaykhaout]

@@Austin_SaintOnge o yeah that's why

[@Eli1981-re5bh]

Sounds seriously underpowered.

[@Austin_SaintOnge]

It’s just a stock tune, double the torque and mpg as the cruiser engine

[@299charles]

Diesels work on torque……

[@299charles]

He can get 500 hp out of her with a little work 😮
