Congrats Q, maybe consider doing your bed inside. Its no fun at the end of the day to set up a RTT and sleep out in the elements. Plus when shit pops off its nice to climb in drivers seat and bail. Good luck w the build!!
That's sick! I had a rooftop tent and got rid of it because I found on harder tracks, the car was too top-heavy. I ended up making a flatbed in the back with a set of drawers underneath.
I bought my 94 FZJ80 triple locked this summer. I’ll be keeping an eye on what you have in stored for this rig. Please keep those big ol’ window visors, they’re more handy than you think on these tall roof, boxy beasts.
My old boss had one of those, we were out driving on a small road and meet a truck, my boss just drove down in this big ditch and then up again like it was nothing. They are great cars offroad and onroad hope u like it :)
side steps in 4x4 are handy specially when its muddy forget about looks strap a winch on the front lift it and a snorkel ,cb radio ,side awning ,mud tyres and your set
I recently went from my 2013 corvette to having a 02 nissan xterra, offroad life is a lot of fun man. Not as cheap necessarily, but the ease of going offroad compared to prepping a car isn't as taxing.
You can actually slide back the middle row seats a little more.. There is a handle for that located in the lower front of the seats 😉 and cool its a 1kz not 2LT
I appreciate that! David from lowcals brought his s15 to my city for a meet up in 2018...all I was thinking was damn!! This fucking car was at the og moreskids house
What a sick automobile! Looking forward to seeing your restomod it and have epic adventures! I was a tad worried when I saw that Pajero on the lot you visited haha, but you've got the legendary land cruiser build quality now!
My skyline got crashed into too and now I’m looking at one of these 😂 Just don’t want to get into another project. Hopefully whatever one I get will be reliable.
Awsome buy man. Here in oz the 1kz’s are in a lot of hilux’s and the next generation of prado’s after yours. Awesome motor known for there reliability! They can crack heads but just make sure you have good coolant and healthy coolant system. Replace the glow plugs if they haven’t been done for awhile or your aren’t sure as the older style can break off and mar the pistons. Take care of it and it’ll last you forever!
SO HYPED on some 4x4/overlanding content! Consider getting wheels with a larger offset rather than running spacers, they put more strain on driveline components.
Weird they're called prados. The interior is so close and similar to my 80 Series, Mines fully kitted out, sometimes those soft shocks suck, but they're amazing for flex offroading, don't get spacers, just get 315/75/16 Mud Terrains, Open Country MT's.. I run 285/75/16 Federal Courgia's, 315/75/16 will fit the wheel wells perfectly and give you more lift too, diff clearance.. we have the 1HZ/1HD diesels This is basically a 76 series wagon cruiser that we have in Australia. 2" and 315/75/16 will make it perfect i promise you. even 305's
If you plan on a vehicle you may need as shelter , NEVER choose black. It will be 10 to 50 degrees cooler depending where you are ... paint the roof white at least.
Yewww absolutely love these beauty’s and I’m keen for the build! I own a newer 120 series Landcruiser Prado in Australia, wicked cars from when they were originally built, I got some videos of mine on my channel if you want to see it in action! Can’t wait for the build 👌🏻
You know when the borders open, there is going to be some serious 4x4 team action!
what an absolute beauty, those chairs are giving me 90s bowling carpet vibes
“I love the way the door sounds when you close them”
Honestly the best part of any old car.
"You dont have a card in ETC"
**bows**
Lmao
Miss seeing you and deej just messing around with 240 stuff, but seeing you guys be happy is the shit
These are really good! put a 2 inch lift and a 2 inch body lift and get 35s thats a good setup
Everytime you talked about an overland build I always got so excited I’m so glad it’s finally happening. Please film everything!
Those old land cruisers are a treasure, and hold value super well, thats a good investment, chief. Congrats!
I'm so happy you got this!!! This is probably the most excited i've been about all your builds. Always loved Land Cruisers.
Fellow NW prado owner here. I won mine at auction in March and just got it yesterday. Exact same spec as yours. I'm SO stoked on it!
I used to own a 2 door one of these and was the best car I’ve ever had wish I never got rid of it
That's sick dude. Diesels last forever
Congrats Q, maybe consider doing your bed inside. Its no fun at the end of the day to set up a RTT and sleep out in the elements. Plus when shit pops off its nice to climb in drivers seat and bail. Good luck w the build!!
Very beautiful piece of pure hard refined metal. I also own a LC KZJ78 with 1KZ inside. Lots of love from Pakistan
"I'm totally set, I don't need another car." Famous last words baby!!!
I get to live vicariously through you with this build 🙌🏼
That's sick! I had a rooftop tent and got rid of it because I found on harder tracks, the car was too top-heavy. I ended up making a flatbed in the back with a set of drawers underneath.
Hell yeah Quinten!! That’s a sweet LC, enjoy it!
My dad used to own one, he use it for 17 years before selling it.
From Malaysia btw!
The door cards and seats are so sickkkkk
Agree d
Did you find it local ?
Super sweet! I have an FJ62 project I’m working on right now, excited to see what’s next!
YESSS, called it on Q’s tiktok . well deserved 4sho
Sweet! Will make for a fun build and truck for Washington!
One of my goal vehicles! Love it dude, cant wait to see how it progresses!
Same! It looks so good.
Love the thrust vision in the Broll shots
Get onto Australian 76series pages for your interior inspiration 👍👍
I bought my 94 FZJ80 triple locked this summer. I’ll be keeping an eye on what you have in stored for this rig. Please keep those big ol’ window visors, they’re more handy than you think on these tall roof, boxy beasts.
Will definitely keep the visors!
You should try getting some Kansei wheels for it, now that they branched out into off-road wheels.
I absolutely love it, would be perfect for drift events, tent on roof, trailer with the corolla behind
My old boss had one of those, we were out driving on a small road and meet a truck, my boss just drove down in this big ditch and then up again like it was nothing. They are great cars offroad and onroad hope u like it :)
Oh man. That interior and dash feels so cozy
side steps in 4x4 are handy specially when its muddy forget about looks strap a winch on the front lift it and a snorkel ,cb radio ,side awning ,mud tyres and your set
Lift it, 33/35inch muds, 3inch downpipe and exhaust and you have the best sound ever
My subaru has the same greeting when i start it up, was told it is a reminder to pay a bridge crossing toll back in japan. sick cruiser bro!
This reminds me of the 1989 Isuzu Trooper I drove for 12 years.
Eyyyy thats the kind of engine i'm putting in my '81 Crown!
I recently went from my 2013 corvette to having a 02 nissan xterra, offroad life is a lot of fun man. Not as cheap necessarily, but the ease of going offroad compared to prepping a car isn't as taxing.
Leave the side steps in or paint em black. Or get a bull bar, scrub bar and rock slider combo. Will protect ur sills when going over the tuff stuff
You can actually slide back the middle row seats a little more.. There is a handle for that located in the lower front of the seats 😉 and cool its a 1kz not 2LT
I got the identical 1994, my favorite vehicle.
Looks so nostalgic and beautiful
you should remove all of the rear seats to create better camping setup, lots of people even fit a bed inside the car with all rear chairs removed!
Man. That thing was well taken care of. Dream rig of mine. Just a great look
If you want some awesome camping interiors, look up land cruiser troopy set ups
In Australia we call these the 76 series land cruiser
Haha yeah except it’s a vdj76 not a kdj. 4.5 litre v8 turbo diesel goes a little harder than than the 1kz too 😉😂
you should turn the back seats you take out into a loveseat/chair thing
As a 4x4 guy, this makes me happy! Looking forward to all the off road content 👍
This is exactly what i wanted to see you get something cool and 4 wheel drive.
I've never been this excited since DJ first got his 240....also I gave up watching this channel since mid 2018.....time for a comeback bois
Welcome back lol
I appreciate that! David from lowcals brought his s15 to my city for a meet up in 2018...all I was thinking was damn!! This fucking car was at the og moreskids house
Bro it's a diesel, it just got done with the break in at these kind of miles 😂
1kz’s sound insane straight piped bro
I love in New Zealand. My dad has a short wheel base land cruises the same and it's the best off roader.
What a sick automobile! Looking forward to seeing your restomod it and have epic adventures! I was a tad worried when I saw that Pajero on the lot you visited haha, but you've got the legendary land cruiser build quality now!
super jelly, always wanted one as well as a same gen HiAce Super GL 4wd Van
My skyline got crashed into too and now I’m looking at one of these 😂 Just don’t want to get into another project. Hopefully whatever one I get will be reliable.

Thing sounded like a tractor lmfao.
Its a old tractor engine. I wanted a original Toyota truck with a diesel so I looked into it a bunch.
Some WEDS adventures would be a cool wheel change too,
hyped on this!
Do a double oil flush if you don't know the service history. Those old Diesels love it.
Yeah and filters too, very important for diesels.
Hell ya! This thing is bad ass!! Slow but it will go any where! Can't wait to see it....wheelin!
🙂"Happy man"🙂
RHD gang! nice car mate, much love from the UK!
What a beautiful prado, congrats dude!! Love from chile !!!
I love the greyhound bus seats 💺
I’m looking at a rhd land cruiser right now! Can’t wait
Hey hey, I got my hdj81 from speed works as well. Glad you love your kzj I love my hdj
Much love for you and also staunch cruisers 🙌🙌
Post more dude! I have same model cruiser with 2door version. Greetings from Malaysia🤙🏼
SO HYPED on some 4x4/overlanding content! Consider getting wheels with a larger offset rather than running spacers, they put more strain on driveline components.
Such a sick choice man. Looks awesome in the colour
Pretty decent choice in central Asia. Pretty sick choice in USA if you ask me
Duuuude yessss. I'm in Bellingham as well! Lets hit some roads off the mt baker highway!!
Weird they're called prados.
The interior is so close and similar to my 80 Series, Mines fully kitted out, sometimes those soft shocks suck, but they're amazing for flex offroading, don't get spacers, just get 315/75/16 Mud Terrains, Open Country MT's.. I run 285/75/16 Federal Courgia's, 315/75/16 will fit the wheel wells perfectly and give you more lift too, diff clearance.. we have the 1HZ/1HD diesels

2" and 315/75/16 will make it perfect i promise you. even 305's
Dope truck! I think they had lhd ones in Germany, someone here in Ontario is selling an imported one.
This is going to be the coolest build ever yay
Beautiful truck
Hell yeah man, super super hyped for this in the future
Yes finally an off-road/overland build, hopefully you make videos whenever you do stuff to it. Can’t wait to see what you do with it
I will!!
There’s something very Fresh Prince of Belair about that seat fabric!
Anything old enough to have rectangular hinge door handles has my heart
WAWZA! Dude that thing is super sick! I’m stoked to see this thing in person, I hope it has the boat suspension still 😂 looks fun.
It’s pretty fun ngl hahaha
So freaking pumped for this, finally some offroad love
This thing is beast mode. Super jealous
This new camera crispy AF. Congrats on the new whip 🚙
If you pull the steps off be sure to get some rock sliders otherwise you'll cry when you accidentally fall on a rock on the trails
Roger that
Really enjoying your content at the moment, keep it up, much love from Australia. 🤙🏽
Can’t wait for that off road content!!! 🏕⛰
I am so ready for this build
Can’t wait for you to come out for some good camping!
CANT WAIT
Congrats my dude! That’s a sick new whip
So buzzy you guys never got these in the states, or any equivalent trucks in diesel to these, so keen to see what you do with it!
Congrats that thing is sick
Wow beautiful
thatd look cool with some military tires
Sounds like a tractor. I love it. 😂
These are hidden gems.. I'll subscribe for more Prado content 👍
HAPPY 2021 Q AND DJ! Love the new boatmobile
dope my boy!! looks very nice
If you plan on a vehicle you may need as shelter , NEVER choose black. It will be 10 to 50 degrees cooler depending where you are ... paint the roof white at least.
Good looks man, stoked for you, hopefully I see it around Bellingham when I’m back in town or if you’re in boise lmk I wanna check it out!
