HOW A 70 SERIES INTERIOR SHOULD COME FROM FACTORY || EXPLORE BUILDS - 79 SERIES PART 6

[@trimat2016]

Frankly it's obscene what Toyota want for these vehicles. With kids nearly off my hands was contemplating buying a 79 single cab GXL to go touring and finally ditch the caravan. Quick look on the Toyota website and they want $85k for one of these now. That's 85,000 dollars for a two seat farm ute with virtually nothing in it, and then you have to throw half of it away and replace it to make it into something that might have some basic comfort for touring. That's just insane. To put it into perspective my ultra luxurious Y62 Patrol has taken me all over the country, with 100% reliability and cost 10,000 dollars less. And all I had to do was put a decent set of tyres on it.

[@Steve-qe2yo]

Totally agree. No sense in these builds at all.

[@ToyTehShammy]

yeh its a bit bs mate, unless your a bloody youtuber or drug dealer its a bit of a stretch to buy one

[@calsfishing2620]

Yep exactly....they are terribly uncomfortable, noisy, prehistoric and all about wank factor as they look cool and that's about it.....great for mining and station work but as for a touring, towing and every day driver they are rubbish unless you throw thousands into it. I've owned a 79 DC and currently own a 76...I should of bought a 200 after I sold the 79, lesson well and truely learnt.

[@ultimateadventuresblog6564]

You sir win the internet today. I thought i was the only one that thinks a 79 is way overrated. You need to spend twice what the original cost is to bring it to a 2020 std

[@willmarks4541]

its a farm and mining truck. youll spend a lot of money making it a comfortable four wheel drive. because thats not what its meant to be. just like trying to make a toyta corolla a rock crawler. im sure you could, just depends how much money you want to spend. stop viewing these as civilian cars, because they're not. they're utility vehicles that are meant to be simple and to last, and they do both of those things pretty well. this is coming from a Patrol owner lol

[@michaelbyrne6743]

Oh what a feeling, at least the door handles and the dipstick are still original.

[@johnbarry1887]

A little padding for the elbow 🤣 thats gold not soft 🤙

[@HugoF1shing]

[@rollyb5061]

the 79 is a perfect 4wd to fit out and a solid front axle

[@mattcory7717]

Can you please put the prices of stuff up

[@toejoe5076]

Must be some tough roads around now. Never seen this sort of money spent on any 45 series landcruisers years ago. People still managed to get around when places were remote.

Yeah well on the opposite end your era didn’t engineer or create these upgrades back then either so your more than welcome to stay in your no air con, loud and tinned out 45 series and we will go the other way 👍🏽

what an exciting adventure : these guyz know a whole bunch from hard experience and then MORE! Saluté ex ZA the Fairest Cape!! Thanks stacks...learning heaps.

[@tempestv8]

Love the 70 Series - it has created a huge army of cottage industries for Australians providing various modifications and customisations. Jobs for Aussies! Such a shame the 70 Series costs so much to begin with.

[@Renegade040]

That's my main grape.

[@AussieDazza]

Matt, check out Proseat aircraft , auto, marine in Brendale , they are building GTS seats for my Patrol. A hell of a lot cheaper than Stratus and/or Recaro.

[@jamesbushy9031]

My old 80 would love this kinda treatment

[@finnnicholas9283]

Just remember the 79 is a farm ute not a round the country tourer. Nice build.

[@finnnicholas9283]

@Anthony Prestidge Ye Ye ofc just when Matt goes on about seats speakers sound deadening etc it is a farm ute

[@JS-tb9hu]

Sweet looking car. I reckon a gymbal would make a big difference to the videography such as 5:26

[@jmac_519]

“Basically like driving around in a Milo tin” is the best thing I’ve ever heard 😂

LUCKY! Id love to have the new Landcruisers here in the US

[@troopydoopydoo5859]

Solid! Giving too many ideas.

[@maverick2242]

It’s coming together, not sure about those mirrors, am a Clearview man myself, also one word in seats Stratos, end of, Recaro overacted in comparison, if you support comfort and quality, this is the best mod imo after wheels tires and suspension to any truck or car for off road touring, take these over a fancy head unit. look forward to seeing it get out on the tracks. 🤙

[@maverick2242]

@Tony F Agree not cheap, but ya get what ya pay for with them. Not saying those are bad, just a bit different, def have some interesting features.

[@Faulty_Relic]

[@blake7789]

Buy a 200 and don't have these issues with the interior still mint tho

[@maverick2242]

Yeah and ya pay another 30-40k for an oversized car, 200 has its place but you spend even more to rig a 200 out to the level these tubers do, we don’t all get sponsored products.

[@barcrusher]

Two totally different vehicles

[@06hunter54]

You think he doesn’t know about a 200 series? Obviously he wanted a decked out 79!

[@jack-xh7xw]

the 200 series isnt solid axle so breaking cvs is easy which is not what you want when touring around australia.

[@musti3835]

@@jack-xh7xw also the 200 series wont last as long as the 70 series would

Who do you recommend in Perth or South West to do the sound deadening?

[@carbuilders3989]

Top job guys 😎🤙

[@rudivandoornegat2371]

Why is there a bar on the side, right above the front wheel, that connects the grill guard with the bottom side protection bar below the doors?

[@theexplorelife]

Reinforces the strength of the front bar and minimises damage from animal strikes from the sides. Also stops the vehicle from getting scratched on tight tracks

[@lucykirra1984]

Good to see you’re getting the car you want mate. But as far as money goes 79 series are a money pit by the looks of it what $250+ car. Surely there is something on the market that can tick more boxes especially with the interior. But brother as long as your happy 😃 good I you bud

[@fewfriesshort5593]

Unfortunately the 79 series is the only solid front axle 4x4 sold here in Australia. Every 4x4 is going IFS. And apart from the 200 series and maybe some American rigs, the only v8 diesel.

[@luked237]

Mercedes g Ute already has a huge gvm but pretty limited exterior wise but a weapon off road.

[@ECOFFROAD]

nice :)

[@kelvinatar5492]

Loving the rig! What tints do you currently have wrapped on the 79 series?

[@danielh9986]

Any reason you went jmacx coil over superior ? Interested to know why. Otherwise fantastic job overall

[@theexplorelife]

Honestly from my research the superior is a good kit but more based around flex and Offroad capabilities. I was after drive ability and weight carrying. This thing handles like a bloody dream and is built for weight and towing.

[@danielh9986]

@@theexplorelife im on the fence which way to go with my build. My use will be predominantly weight carrying/touring, then the 5 link jmacx will be the go. Do you find it still capable with flexing offroad ?

[@jamesosullivan1545]

Yes - I’m guilty of purchasing one - I’ve always been a 79 series fan - however I concede that you don’t get value with components. - you’ve forgotten two major issues with the dual cab, these being: the lack of a dual fuel tank & the narrow rear axle. I’ve addressed both issues at a cost of $9.5k. Should come as standard. Toyota don’t care - they still sell em to mugs like me.

[@coreygolder6503]

Lack of dual fuel tank, they come with a single long range tank. The narrow rear diff, ever Landcruiser cab chassis and troopy has the narrow rear diff.

[@timfrew8915]

Love the content but for the love of god Matt, can you stop clapping! Haha

[@theexplorelife]

Not likely 😂😂

[@80ZX]

Every second sentence in this video is another reason to not buy a 79 series. I get your enthusiasm Mate, but why not get a 200 series and make some mods to that instead ?

[@theexplorelife]

Ones a Ute and ones a wagon haha also 2” lift vs 4” on a 79 plus 200s are already complete nothing to build 😂

[@ultimateadventuresblog6564]

he might as well of rang muscle man from patriot and bought one of his, and saved himself the work. I love the content Matt does, but, "building a 79" is old. All4Ad have being doing it for years and so have many others. The facts are, after you pay 85g for a tractor, you need to spend 50+ to make it a tourer. May as well bought a 2500 ram or chev and had a comfy tourer and plenty of power on tap. I really dont get the love affair with the 79. apart from yeah, they look tough fitted out, but any 4by does

So basically through this build matt mentioned shit, shitty and Shit again. So this is what you have to do to make a piece of shit any good. But is saying this, if I had a spare 150k the throw at a vehicle it still would not be a 79. This is Matt's dream Rig so good on him....

[@lovelc2006]

If you need to do this much to a vehicle don't you think it's not the one for you. Why not just get a better factory optioned one. Like a 200, or a f truck, something other then what every other youtube has.
