V8 80/45 Series Landcruiser

[@robertsomerville5377]

Bit like the story of the old axe , "I've had this axe for 40 years , it's had 4 new handles & 3 new heads".

[@HoonTV]

That old race footage of the 80 is awesome! Great build guys!

[@CagetecRacing]

Thanks, definitely a fun car to drive

[@1969Punjabi]

Fascinating history behind this beautiful truck.

[@CagetecRacing]

It sure is!

[@heftymerv]

that engine sound freaking awesome... loved watching it as an 80....

[@Ooleteq]

Where has that been all my life? 🤘🏻

[@rangiwalker6547]

What a good watch!

[@philharris5021]

Enjoyed every second well done

[@frankensteinsgarage9632]

Awesome truck guys. Great work and great steering. Good memory's no doubt.

[@mathiaslindstedt975]

Fantastic build👍. Well Done!

[@CagetecRacing]

Thank you! 👍

[@supertramp6011]

What a beast, well driven too!👍👍

[@quentondodd6950]

That was an awesome video and true Aussie Hard Yakka LandCruiser, well done would like to see more...

[@CagetecRacing]

Thanks Quenton, there's a few more clips on our channel of this car in action

[@hezobanda790]

Loved how you made the truck

[@hammatime94]

This was awesome to watch, I grew up in jurien, perenjori and narrogin.

[@CagetecRacing]

We are helping run a race in Perenjori in 2 weeks time over the long weekend. We will be posting a video from that event too, so make sure you subscribe or keep and eye out for it

[@jacooosthuizen3593]

Flip what a awsome story! Hopefully me and my mate here in south-africa can also have as much fun as you guys doing abit of rallying.

[@CagetecRacing]

Thanks, good luck with rallying in South Africa! Looks like there are some good places for it there

[@nickmolloy9563]

Great story. Well done to all. Tough work and late nights on the tools.

[@pedraspreciosasdoBrasil]

Like muito bom parabéns pelo seu belo trabalho gostei

[@rizalkennady2731]

Inspiring me...thx

[@joefussy11]

Love this! Haven’t seen many 80s flat out like this. Weapon cars. What about some build videos or how to’s. race or car setups. Plus where are these races held?

[@CagetecRacing]

All of this racing is in Western Australia. Thanks for subscribing

[@sonofakineza1179]

What a rig! What transmission(s) is being used?

[@CagetecRacing]

The gearbox is the standard 80 series manual gearbox which normally goes behind the 4.5L petrol motor

[@sonofakineza1179]

Love it mate. Up the 40 series!

[@harro9447]

Thats sick

[@75robcam]

What gearbox is in it

[@timjrvine]

That 80 series is tough

[@DiHandley]

That things a beast! 😵

[@Justforfun-ek7et]

Very nice

[@bengkellascakman]

Good job ,I also like to restore jeeps

[@greatdividehunting7887]

Awesome vid mate !!

[@meekhinglim4829]

A Defender will never beat a FJ40 or HJ75 series

[@Speakthetruthplease]

I agree, especially when the Toyota has an American Engine😂😂😂😂😂😂 You are truly a genius😂😂😂😂

[@danielscales1201]

Very cool!! 👍👍

[@Steddywelly]

What gear ratio are you running to use both 33s and 37s haha ? Or do you just run 25% reductions in low range

[@marklivos]

Wow awesome 😊

[@flee.The.Cities]

Nice🙂 🤜🤛

[@LukaS-kw5ky]

100%😎 mate. you mentioned upgradeing the diffs.... what parts did you use and where to get from? cheers

[@CagetecRacing]

The front diff was custom made, its essentially a patrol centre into a landcruiser diff as well as using a variety of upgraded/longfield axles. There would probably be some simpler/stronger options on the market now

[@gmarshall1026]

Had one of these rusted away and stuffed my back

[@CagetecRacing]

We had a few old 45 series which was the inspiration for turning the 80 into a 45

[@gmarshall1026]

Ruff as shit but couldn't kill it

[@AngryTurds]

8:55 the only thing extreme about pirtek is their pricing! 😀

[@CagetecRacing]

They sponsored a damn good winch comp!

[@AngryTurds]

@@CagetecRacing and for That, I tilt my hat.

[@gunmarra7866]

Awesome job super cool car oh what a feeling😉

[@brownsnake9750]

How many tomes did you replace the clutch?, what gearbox does that have in it?

[@CagetecRacing]

Clutch has been good the whole time. The gearbox is from an 80 series landrcruiser, the one that normally goes behind a 4.5L Petrol motor

[@servicetoday4592]

How did you make the one piece tilt bonnet/fender? Did you make a fiberglass mold over the top of the standard bonnet/fenders, & work from that? Loved watching the videos of the 45 in action - cheers.

[@CagetecRacing]

We actually picked the 1 piece bonnet up 2nd hand. If I can find out who makes then I will let you know. Thanks for watching

[@brownsnake9750]

Yeh where can i get a 1 piece bonnet?

[@danielmitchell671]

so it was the same engine the whole time?

[@CagetecRacing]

One we put the V8 in, its been the same engine ever since

[@bbggakkba]

That's a bit sad, why the retirement? Looked like a pretty good race truck

[@CagetecRacing]

We have since moved onto racing SXSs over the past few years as this is where our main customer base is

[@allenjones4862]

Tell us about your suspension. How long a coil and shock, what brand, custom mounts or stock locations, valving? Looks supple but stiff when you need it and it the right time

[@CagetecRacing]

Stock coil locations. We do have a variety of springs with different rates/height etc. we put in for different applications. King bumpstops help a bit, but the big factor is the triple bypass shocks. Down South Motorsport helped out with valving them based on vehicle weights we gave them

[@allenjones4862]

@@CagetecRacing Appreciate the response. I have shopped DS, too. Are they stock coil heights? What were triple by pass shock extended length? There seems to be such great travel yet it does not look that high a lift. Is there a lift?

[@CagetecRacing]

@@allenjones4862 the shock mounts are custom top and bottom. They are extended. It runs minimal lift. 2 inches at most

[@Steddywelly]

Looking at triple bypasses for my LSA 105, who in perth sells and tunes them ? Cheers

[@Steddywelly]

Awesome build absolutely love it and it’s versatility in multiple events.

[@CagetecRacing]

Thanks Taylor. There arent too many in WA doing this sort of stuff. You could always call some of the east coast guys like Mikes shock shop or Down South Motorsport Australia who could help set them up

[@Steddywelly]

@@CagetecRacing Thanks for the heads up! will look into it.

[@Mongoswede]

Was looking at building one like this for Rally in the USA but would probably have to stretch the cab a few centimeters as the rule here require the main cage to be within the cab. The rear bars can be external but the main hoop and braces would all have to be in the cab behind the seats and I think the stock cab is too tight for that.

[@CagetecRacing]

Yes, even with the main hoop outside the cab it's very tight. A stretched cab would be really nice

[@Mongoswede]

@@CagetecRacing are you running the R151F gearbox and if so is there a readily available adapter to mate it to the LS engine?

[@CagetecRacing]

@@Mongoswede our first adaption kit came from marks Adapters. From LS2 to 80 series manual box

[@Mongoswede]

@@CagetecRacing Thanks for the info. All of the FJ80's and FZJ80's this side of the world were Automatics. We can still buy the H55F transmissions brand new which work nicely on the 40 and 60 series but the stock manual boxes for the 80's are all imported from Japan or down under ;)

[@joefussy11]

Fyi new Subscriber!

[@clancyswan6269]

This power for a built ls

[@CagetecRacing]

New video of the 45/80 in action here kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2q3k2d_pLqEnac

[@EvoSGooD]

How much do you want for it ?

[@CagetecRacing]

I'm not sure we could let this one go!

[@swokstubbs4988]

meanwhile my 80 struggles to go highway speed

[@CagetecRacing]

sky is the limit if you want to modify it :)

[@jarryfromwagga5985]

why is there a screed in the back lmao

[@CagetecRacing]

Its a sand anchor for winching

[@40ChannelCruiser]

You ended up with one awesome 40/80 series truck! My build is a little less full on, Building up FJ40 with some 60 series upgrades. Feel free to check out my you tube channel.

[@lucasvasconcelos9443]

40 Chancela o que

[@basukhoiri7312]

Kenapa kalau Toyota itu kemampuannya pewernya itu kok melebihi mobil mobil Eropa atau Amerika contoh nisan loging Timber yg R 10 atau R 12 trus dibandingkan dg kenwurd yg kapasitas mesinya sama kok power dan kemampuan daya angkutnya juga kalah cuma nisan kalah sistim brick / pengereman

[@rbhfishing8123]

Footage looks like it’s filmed in the god dam 80s

[@CagetecRacing]

Some of it is a bit old school, prior to having decent camera technology and these videos are more a hobby than anything serious

[@Fuckthesystem-ro5wm]

Looks like your struggling to hold that fish up 💪

[@ClarkyXPH]

Noooooooo!
