Paul Marsh is THE MAN! He is the resource in this process, that has ensured success. I hope he has been well rewarded.

[@boohyah69]

Probably the most

[@bigoz1734]

Very true sentiment at the end. Don't be sad for what you don't have. Be grateful for what you've been spared from

[@nevyn9050]

Paul Marsh has probably forgotten more things about landcruisers than most supposed mechanics have ever known.. the man is a genius. oh.. and so well spoken.

[@mohvanwah]

Absolutely

[@silverrunner8687]

Very well spoken. Gifted teacher qualities.

@Brad Młodystach Oh for sure, apart from the fact that sense isn't actually that common any more.

Paul needs to do a Ted talk on landcruizers,

[@Frank-bh3cm]

I really enjoyed this series Andrew. Buying a second hand 4WD and modifying it for touring is something, I feel, many of us can relate to. There was some real value in learning from you in this instance about caveats and what to be aware of. Kitting out one $100K truck after the next, whilst nice, is not a dilemma most of us have.

[@nickgood8166]

Andrew's gobby diatribe at the end is well solid. Leave your Cruiser as the little Japanese men shipped it out of the famous Araco factory in Japan. Their engineers know what is what, and their production quality is, simply astonishing, it is at an entirely different level, really it is. This video promulgates good advice . Many ....perhaps even most Cruiser problems, relate to fixing up some buggering around with it after the vehicle after came out of the factory pristine and perfect.

[@jemty9564]

Mate that was a ripper of an episode. in particular the detailed fuel filter explanation and the pwr steeering bleed. Paul is an A1 mechanic, if he were in Australia he would be my go to man for all 4wd. Again thanks from a bored on the weekend Aussie expat in Saudi Arabia.

[@TroutWest]

Fun build... You never disappoint in your creations Andrew. Keep up the good work, looking forward to seeing this build get dirty

[@Jeff_MT09]

What an awesome series - absolutely enjoying it and learning along the way! Thank you. Cheers. Regards, Jeff. 👍😀

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

I don't think I have ever seen a series that gives so much practical and useful information about what to look for when getting a 2nd hand vehicle. This is going to be of use to people for many years to come. I just wish I had seen something like it before I bought my 60 old series - pity there wasn't even KZbin back then. A special thank you to Paul for sharing what is obviously an incredible depth of knowledge about 4x4s. Less is more is certainly true. When we bought our 90, it looked as though it had never been off road in its life. Not a speck of red dust anywhere in even the hardest to reach grooves. It was stock standard and was owned by WA Toursim. It has (to date) been the most reliable vehicle we have owned apart for the rather nasty incident with the LBJ and the loss of a front wheel but that it more of a maintenance issue - now that we know there is a design flaw.

[@stevenm.njogu2014]

Great work and i like the honesty that you have in your videos.

[@houariseddiki83]

You are a lucky man, Even it cost you so much but you live your passion...congrats

[@vonbaker5804]

I would prefer that rebuilt beauty over a brand new one any day what a great job congratulations.

[@paulspeakman551]

Loved the countdown to start. I live in southwest Florida and have watched many launches from my home 220 km away from Kennedy Space Center. When I moved here in 1980 my first job was at a very old fuel station and one of my regular jobs was pumping water from the bottom of the storage tanks. The old VW van in the background brings back memories too. I had one in the early '80's; I put some mud tires on the drive wheels and it did really well on sand trails here.

[@drewc9029]

FYI, TT and other filter suppliers have been incorrectly listing the 80 series fuel filter for the 100 series. Heck I even had a Toyo dealer fit the wrong one! I couldn't see enough of yours but check your spares. The 80 series is a flat top and the correct 100 series filter is recessed for additional fuel flow. Assuming you have done your trip already, if you got random engine mild asthma attacks under load, check filters. Find an image of a genuine Denso p/n 23390-64480 you will see the difference. Perhaps your guys already spotted this. Love the series on the 100!

[@alexandermel9987]

A wealth of knowledge. A great series! 👍🏾 from Papua New Guinea🇵🇬

[@kentucky4x456]

I whole heartedly agree with that last nugget of advice. While buying a prebuilt rig is tempting, and it feels like your saving money buy not having to build from scratch. You are often buying some one else's problems, as an already built rig has probably already been through the ringer a time or two.

[@Spyyyder1]

Now that is what i call a test run !

[@Splagnate]

I would’ve started watching this channel sooner but thought 4XO meant 4 hugs and a kiss. It’s a lot better than what I thought from the label!

[@kznjonno602]

Thanks Andrew once again.You really hit the nail on the head with your summary.How I wish that I could find a technician with the knowledge and experience that Paul has.Too many palookas in the motor trade with too little know how who believe that they know it all.

Hello Andrew. Love the series and all your videos. I’ve been following you for many years.

[@bugoutxj2001]

Lol. Love the countdown!!

[@dalejohnson9342]

I agree with your mechanic about having extra filters. Not just fuel, but also air and oil filters. I do suggest that you consider the heavier springs as you will be loading this vehicle down pretty heavy and my experience is that having the extra spring with a full load is often a better choice. I also know that you can over spring a vehicle and cause frame and axle damage so it is a delicate balancing act.

[@alexandru_mateescu]

I agree with your conclusion.

[@JohnDoe-hy2op]

And...... Cheers! Much appreciated.

[@BenMitro]

Excellent advice and excellent video Andrew. I didn't understand why the steering pump was replaced. What did I miss?

[@MrCharrrles]

To be fair from a laymans point of view the only modifications visible was the lift kit and bullbar and that's pretty much all I would spot if I were looking to buy it

[@andrewhurstcars]

Nice build series 👍🏻 Would be interesting to know the full market price for all those parts and labour used, and compare that to what kind of vehicle you could buy for the higher amount. For the cost of all that 7 days odd of labour and many new parts, someone could buy a much more expensive vehicle for the ‘same’ price. Worth doing here though for a KZbin build series.

[@jimbotheassclown]

More expensive vehicle doesn't equal better , It just means more money.

[@mikeoneil-work4216]

In an early episode they talked about the advantages of older vs. newer. One big one was less complexity. Newer vehicles have tons of electronics, sensors and other tech that, while nice when working, take a full blown shop to repair. If you're 800km from the nearest toyota dealer, you don't want some unknown sensor failure to strand you.

[@madrx2]

Beautiful built. Throw a 1HD FTE and it would be the ultimate.

[@Zeebad_1st]

Don't make us wait another week!!

[@samadrid6321]

I had an oil changing shop service my truck years ago, like 1990ish. The next time I went to change my oil the damn oil drain plug was so tight my wrench rounded the plug. I tried to use a vise grips pliers, it rounded again, and the only thing I could use to get the plug off, and what I had to use after, was a pipe wrench. I eventually got a new plug, but I have NEVER been back to an oil change shop again.

[@dnance9747]

Wish I could do an apprenticeship with these guys!

[@Michael_Mears]

Well, after the countdown, it didn't go all Space Shuttle Colombia, so that's a good thing.

[@luisbueso29]

Great series. Any information on how to break in a new or overhauled 1HZ ? Can't seem to find any reliable information online.

[@asdf8592]

Can you show how and what is the correct way to pump fule from a jerry can to the vehicle please?

[@garthhayward9581]

Great advice, stay away from over modified 2nd hand 4x4's, they're a problem.

[@888johnmac]

yeah .. agree with andrew ' buy a mums shopping car with zero mods '

[@willtricks9432]

Not always, but mostly. You need to have a good look before you buy, as seen in this series he didn't. If he had I would have learned nothing from Paul Marsh and his team. Cheers

[@peterbarber7613]

In Australia we just use The Fuel Doctor every time you fuel up

[@kellydrolet4740]

Cost of the rebuild? What is the value of having total confidence in a vehicle? For the overland adventures you do I would say it is money well spent and in the long run helps ease the stress and retain a high resale value. It has been a great series - thanks.

[@gregholding9483]

Is the Overland Workshop series that you mentioned available?

[@davidwarren4569]

I do all the work on my own land cruiser so I know exactly the condition of the various components in my vehicle. I don’t have to spend a fortune paying a mechanic to work on my vehicle and spend unnecessary money replacing things that don’t really need replacing,with all due respect to Peter who is in my opinion an excellent mechanic. Unfortunately when I purchased my 79 series Ute, I took it in for the first service and when I got it home the dealer had not even changed the filters. Any of them!!! I have done all my own work since then. On another note, I put 600 kilo suspension under mine and I feel that if you are over landing, what you put in the vehicle adds up. Mine is a progressive system and when there is no load the ride feels normal. You just sit a bit higher. That upgraded fuel filter with the glass bowl is one of the best things you can do to monitor your fuel quality. These older 6 cylinder motors are real workhorses and a simpler motor than the v8, perfectly suited to the hard grind expected of them. .

[@deebee5236]

Im interested to see the numbers once they come in. For the average joe, having a mechanic do all that work supplying terrain tamer parts (or similar) my guess is its going to cost a near arm and a leg.

[@jimbotheassclown]

Any time you take it to a mechanic it's a fortune. Nothing in this rebuild you couldn't have done in your driveway with a basic set of tools and a Factory shop manual as long as you can read .

[@ToyBJ]

Great build so far Andrew , does Paul put trust or recommend fuel and oil additives at all ?

[@nikhilnair1234]

This is such a good series on the build. Thank you for doing this. BTW.. what language are they speaking amongst themselves at 14:43 in the video ?

[@landrover1155]

Andrew an interesting series but are you going to post up what this build would cost if you had to pay a reputable mechanic for all of the Labour and quality parts? It would be a frightening figure...can I suggest you get a genuine agreed value insurance policy (ie not the type that defaults to market value or value assessed by the insurer). Cheers mate

[@mikeluettig3327]

Hi there. Would like to throw in a question which until today I haven’t got a definitive answer to. When do you measure the engine oil? When the car was stationary for some time or after a e.g. 20 mins drive? Thanks in advance, Mike

[@devilsgarage7726]

best after being stationary for some time with cold oil, flat surface. modern cars with their thinner weight oils dont take long to drain back to the sump, some dipsticks do have a "hot" oil level mark.

[@madcat4563]

Wow the 1hz sounds weird without the exhuast

[@nedkelly1232]

12 litres of oil? 9.3 litres with filter (9.6 litres if engine has been pulled apart & is dry) for mine. Is it a bigger sump on the African HZJ105s?

[@deebee5236]

Ned Kelly fte is similar. I drained 2L of oil out of my sump after the mechanic put the quoted amount in. It wasnt dry so there was already oil through the pump etc. i dont think he was a real mechanic tbh.

[@nedkelly1232]

@@deebee5236 Yeah, I change oil & filter myself every 5000k. A 20 litre drum gives me 2 changes with a little left in the drum. That's Aussie 105, African 105 could have a different size sump I guess.

[@TheWrongBrother]

The bit about the fuel tank drain ... isn't that potentially a security concern? It would make it easy for someone malicious to just drain out all your fuel or worse ... I support the no drain scenario with care taken on where to fuel and transparent jar check on fuel.

I fully understand that you need a sound vehicle to go into the outback and beyond. Taking a vehicle to these all different people to carry out work on all the things that may go wrong would end up costing a fortune. To the average wage earner it puts things beyond their financial reach. How often do things go wrong on vehicles with something places have worked on and it's failed down the track. I think their is something to be said for buying well maintained older 4wd , learn to do the routine maintenance and if it ain't broke don't fix it.

[@Jake199343]

So this video was recommended to me and I haven't watched any of the past videos (might now because of my love for land cruisers), but of course it freaking started! You could drain a land cruisers of all it's oil except a quarter, be low on coolant with it half submerged in sludge water and it would still start and get you home for the rest of the year.
