PART 1 RESTORATION of my Toyota Land Cruiser 70 series Prado | Bodywork, Wiring, Insulation

[@stevenchan7366]

After this video, Wong Sifu will be famous and busy of works.

[@JunOutdoors]

Hope he doesn't mind that!

[@ivanbutt1477]

@@JunOutdoors where do I find Wong Sifu?

[@eddyl8566]

Wow, Wong Sifu is so skillful and knowledgable.

[@joojay11]

Proud malaysian here. Even prouder when its a woman taking on the journey of an old Lc restoration… rare species here.. aku subscribe! From another Lc and Hilux owner…

[@JunOutdoors]

Yay thanks for the sub!

[@AlamaniSam]

You can use a rust converter, it is easier than scraping the rust. A rust converter after one day after application will turn rust into a ferous oxide and rust is gone.

[@nanabrimpong3485]

​@@JunOutdoorsWong Sefu is the Wong Fei Hung of cars especially 4x4s. I also saw a Pajero is that his personal project?

[@safarhanz7059]

We need part 2 ASAP.. 😁

[@JunOutdoors]

I'll try. Stay tuned!

[@diegohperez6434]

Definitely need all the cables changed they are nusty state as long all the engine bay spots clean you safe

[@ramdannain9961]

Seeing you directly involved in giving personal touches to the Monster LC restoration process will make this LC very special.

[@JunOutdoors]

It is pretty special to me already :)

[@killersushi99]

*At **6:03** Home made test light for the win!! This man reminds me of my father (RIP). He passed his knowledge and love of cars on to me.*

[@JunOutdoors]

That's nice. Old school is Gold :)

[@sooaun]

great job! Props to Wong sifu for being patient and allowing you to be hands on, not many workshops will do that!

[@JunOutdoors]

Yes I am grateful for that :)

[@jordanhamilton2523]

what a legend ay!

[@sabilco7232]

Jun, your work is truly commendable! I own a Land Cruiser HZJ71V, which I imported from Japan in pristine condition. However, after residing in Scotland for 2 1/2 years, it began displaying signs of surface corrosion underneath, despite my limited use during summers and avoidance of winter driving. I recently watched your captivating Land Cruiser restoration series while commuting on the train. I eagerly anticipate the release of the second episode, especially after having my own Land Cruiser undergo a comprehensive undersealing treatment for rust protection. Keep up the fantastic work! 🚙👏

[@JunOutdoors]

Rust is something we are all afraid of! Hope your land cruiser is doing alright now. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for the next video!

[@TheSkapina]

Wong sifu can do almost everything from restoration, wiring to engine troubleshooting. Thats amazing.

[@JunOutdoors]

Indeed. I guess that's how and why he got the title Sifu :)

[@hwajugahng1696]

It''s like building a car from scratch. You guys are doing a great job!

[@JunOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@azharyatim3505]

Wong Shifu is blessed to have a beautiful and dedicated apprentice. His sharing method is highly appreciated for Jun to manage the LC in the hour of need. Good luck and happy restoration to the maximum to Jun and Jupiter.

[@JunOutdoors]

Thank you very much :)

[@wj2791]

Jun, your voice and energy are so vibrant and soothing. I love it; it almost gives me goosebumps just listening and watching. Any man lucky enough to have you in his life will be truly fortunate.

[@JunOutdoors]

That's very kind of you to say. Thank you :)

[@jameskokmd]

Exciting ! Can't wait to see the final outcome

[@mhks68]

There will be no FINAL OUTCOME. Land Cruisers have no end point for restoration and modification.

[@syyuen4310]

Excellent work.. this is super fun and exciting to see the truck transformation.. and Jun have the right and keen learning behavior , thanks for sharing

[@JunOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@jackmeyers40]

I am enjoying the restoration series of "My DREAM TRUCK". LOL

[@JunOutdoors]

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying it :)

[@faisalz8849]

Nice video Jun. been watching your videos for a while but this new series takes my interest a notch higher. I’m a Malaysian living in the Middle East who happens to own a 100 series LC. We have a camping club of Malaysians with 80,100 and 200 series LC plus some Prados and FJ Cruisers. Looking forward for the next episodes.

[@JunOutdoors]

Thanks. Sounds like a great community you have in the Middle East!

[@youssefdaoud1680]

Fantastic... love to see the progress and soon the final result.. and to see you making your hands dirty and learn every step from the master is just amazing.. all the best...

[@JunOutdoors]

This is just the tip of the iceberg! I've still got lots to learn. Thanks for watching :)

[@carynavenue]

Somehow comforting to watch how the baby is being moulded to take on an exciting future! Looking forward to more epis to come

[@JunOutdoors]

Thanks Caryn. Hope this baby has a bright future!

[@timstanton2241]

Jun, I had a 1984 FJ 60 and finally sold it after 20 years. I still miss that truck. Always wanted the diesel motor. But in the US it was not an option. I will eagerly wait for each episode of the transformation. Best!

[@JunOutdoors]

Aww I believe you miss your truck deeply. Thanks for watching!

[@davidchan5424]

great that you had been introduced to Wong Sifu! He knows the Land Cruisers very well and his approach is simple-down-to-earth and his dedication,is superb! Happy for you and your "still-to-be-named-baby". greetings from Kampar!

[@JunOutdoors]

Indeed. I'm glad he has been so patient with me! Lots more to learn from him :)

[@dicephotographer3253]

taksabar nak tunggu vedio seterusnya 😁😁😁

[@andyackerman7123]

That insulation just might become the best upgrade of your build!

[@JunOutdoors]

I hope so!

[@4wdadventuremalaysia]

Good thinking Jun. Restoration and preventive maintenance before taking your rig out will ensure it is in good condition and will last longer. An LC is a joy to drive on those tough, off road trails.

[@JunOutdoors]

Hope so! Thank you!

[@mattrichards9300]

Great video most people wont show the details like you did. Thanks

Can't wait for the next episode. Wong Sifu is a complete package.

[@JunOutdoors]

Yeah that's true. Although he seldom does paint job, but still needs one whenever he does it.

[@GoldcapX]

Jun! I have the exact same truck and it's so great! Love the video hope you're having a blast with it.

[@default9740]

Nice work! Nice to see the bare bones of a slightly different KZJ78 than the JDM version (Prado) that I have here in New Zealand. Intrigued that the ECU has been removed, I didn’t know that was an option.

[@JunOutdoors]

Yes, the ECU has been replaced by a manual one. Done by the previous owner. So it is now a fully mechanical cruiser!

[@syedmahadzir5367]

Cant wait for ur LC to fully restored..i have LC too...already setup with overland settings...always first choice for long distance journey...

[@JunOutdoors]

Amazing!

[@ZonProductReviews]

Change your Fuel filter at the gas station and fill the new one before install, it will save you a lot of pumping. Awesome Truck! I have a 95 Hilux surf with 1kz, best motor ever! 😁

[@JunOutdoors]

Thanks for the tip!

[@AOT-offroad]

Dude I can not believe how solid that thing is! Wow great machine Jun. it looks like minimal rust and I know in Ohio, (North East U.S.) my vehicles rust horribly. I will say I'm a little bummed that Sifu removed the Valvoline container patching the hole in your transmission tunnel, that was cool. I would've welded it in place and kept it there lol

[@RiderDebuKota]

Terbaiklah sifu Wong and Jun. Tak sabar nak tengok kejadiannya 👍

[@EduranceOverlanding]

An overlanding adventure begins when you start building your own vehicle. To see the stock vehicle transform into your dream rig. Good luck and I'm waiting to see you start your travels to different lands.

Old vehicle restoration.. ah am always a sucker for this kind of content. Side note, rolling the insulation with a roller will ensure stronger adherence to the panels. Since it has been done, for the next resto work then.

[@JunOutdoors]

No roller when we were doing it. But using our bare hands kinda worked too. Thanks for the suggestion :)

[@mychongck]

Hey Jun, another great sharing! I am keen to consider going into car camping. With limited budget, considering having an old 4WD. After what you have gone through with the Land Cruiser redo, would you recommend that for others?

[@JunOutdoors]

Hello, happy to hear you are considering to get into car camping! Well, it's still premature for me to give any advice because I have not taken my Land Cruiser for camping yet! But from what I've seen and heard, an old wagon like this is a good choice. They were built to last :)

[@mychongck]

@@JunOutdoors Thanks Jun for your response. Much appreciated. If I may ask, how much it costs to have the Wong SiFu redo the whole car?

[@hamydy]

hi Jun i just can wait to see your Truck complete. Nice sharing, love to watch your channel, keep it up.

[@JunOutdoors]

Thanks! Stay tuned for the next video :)

[@H3ARTS4FORME]

Hello from Ireland Jun. I just watched your restoration videos, parts 1 and 2 and they were excellent! I subscribed 😊 I have the same LC, but the short wheelbase (KZJ71). I'm about to begin my restoration journey so I've been looking for as much info as possible. A couple of questions please. Wong Sifu said not to use two of the same batteries, instead use a power bank, that it will support the main battery. What does that mean do you know? Does it mean a battery which is not a cranking battery perhaps? Also, he said you have no ECU. Was he joking? I didn't think a modern-ish vehicle could run without one 😮 Looking forward to watching the rest of your content, and thanks a million.

[@susanoo250]

[@jayc76chai9]

Try using lower temperature thermostat that opening the coolant to radiator earlier will help cool down engine before heat up. 10 blade fan definitely help..

[@JunOutdoors]

Thanks for the tip!

[@MrFredrictai]

It is time to spend!! The ceiling rust removal may be more effcient with sand paper perhaps... The red car that you cut your insulation is a gem... a LC40!!

[@JunOutdoors]

Yep it's a BJ40! Sifu has an affinity towards old Toyota LCs. And yes, sandpaper would have made it easier lol

[@ecahatch]

AWESOME CHOICE IN CAR! I have a restored Kzj78 myself and dote over it like anything. Suggest you use some dymo tape for your labelling when you find time. Am sure you will eventually, (find time that is). I replaced the mag wheels with 5-piece WEDS from eBay Japan and went with new tires from Falken as the ones that came with the car were showing some wear after years of use. Also installed a frontrrunner roof rack for my awning to be able to latch on….enjoy the restoration journey! (P.S. am now a subscriber :-) )

Fuel consumption - ill share that probably much, much later. Just bought the car and I haven't really taken it anywhere yet!

[@fatmanoverlanding]

Great progress. 👍

[@yuseofleey]

This is my dream car also, hope I will get someday

[@tempestv8]

You can check to see if the radiator fan viscous clutch is working properly by idling the engine after its fully warmed up (e.g. after a drive), and getting someone to turn the engine off as you observe the fan. If the fan stops immediately after the engine is switched off, this means the clutch pack is working as designed. But if the fan simply keeps spinning after the engine is turned off, it's time to service the fan clutch or simply replace it.

[@JunOutdoors]

That's a great tip. Thank you so much!
