YOU DESERVE EVERY BIT OF IT BUD,A HARD BATTLE YOU HAVE HAD OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS AND TOUR STILL WINNING BRO........THE HARDER THE BATTLE THE SWEETER THE VICTORY 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍SOLID
Hey clay, i feel the same way about my Ranger, each to there own bro, back in the day in my Xa coupe 351 4 speed had a stiffy every time i turned the key!😂😂
awesome mate stoked for ya, im 26 and just got my first car (2012 outback) that wasn't a ford lazer or a toyota starlet and i feel the same about it haha. Something feels so good about a car you really love, and you don't know the feeling till you know the feeling!
Bloody good truck mate. Make sure you get an upgraded cover on the rear diff lock actuator if you haven't already, probably the most common repair I get on them since they have bugger all ground clearance and the factory covers are basically a bit of tin. The actuators are bloody expensive, done multiple units on some vehicles that get used on the stations etc. We've sold quite a few of the v8s at work still, only a few 4 cylinder ones though. I would imagine they will keep making the v8 for the bit longer. It's a night and day difference when they get a clutch upgrade and a tune in them, awesome to drive. Bit silly how gutless they are factory tbh lol. Overall we see bugger all issues with them, and some of the station and mining trucks cop an absolute thrashing. Have had a few sets of swivel hubs leak at low kms but that's were you can't lose with toyota, it's all covered under warranty. Good buy mate
Hi Clay, love your work! I'm the chap that has waved out to you from a Subaru with a roof tray a couple of times recently and live just down the road from you...mate I would love a cup if tea with you and a ride in Betty! Any chance we could make that work? Cheers Brad
It’s a bloody ute mate 😂 Ive got a 200 series wagon, last of the V8’s. My mate has a300 series. I’d still seriously want my 200 series. You can’t beat a V8. The feel of the engine and the sound of it even standard. My 2015 79 series was a wicked rig. Pre DPF bullshit. You’ve got a wicked ute, ok truck 😂 and f$$k everyone else’s view. Yours is the only one that matters in your life🍺🍺
I put a set of air suspension bags in the back of mine mate . Makes the ride alot better. Opinions are like assholes every one has one and some stink more then others.... it just makes me smile when I think of you and your dogs heading out in that v8 . Epic
It's your money mate. What makes you happy is what matters. Cracks me up when people criticise other people for buying things that give them joy when its not their money and its not for them to spend it. It dosnt make sense to me. The negatively and small p@#$s thing when it comes to nice vehicles is jealousy in my opinion.
I sold a 2011 76 series last year when my dual cab ute came in last year… just like yours but in Taliban Tan after 2 year wait. Great for camping & hunting trips in the outback. Put a 2/3 lockable box on the back & 285x75x16 wheels. Does the job perfectly.
I was talking to the Toyota dealership up in Auckland; they told me you can still buy them with the V8, but they are a special order, and the V8s will only come in the 2-door and 4-door utes like yours. But who’s knows how long that will continue.
Land cruisers, there's just something about em.We have a 100 series, sandy the Landy we call her.what a veheecle, your spitting facts this vid..You should be on Toyotas payroll brother
Brother Clay I have my "cheapest" dream daily I could ever have dream of picking up 366k on the clock cost me 2k she's at 390k now I do all her services owned for 3 years 4x4 high on the gravel 4x4 lo on the rocks and sand 2wd on the tar she's a beast of a truck loved 366k before me when I crack it she's getting pulled apart and built so hopefully she goes another 25 after me 2000 Holden frontera 3.2ltr v6 wagon built to give the owners what they want wake up where I gota go I'm going💪🤙✌️👌
I can relate. Holden made beautiful wagons. I have have owned heaps on my younger days including a VT ss comodore v8. Kingswood 202, a Holden Special, and many many more. I wrote a song called the golden holden but never published it. Enjoy bro
So happy for you buddy it’s bloody awesome to see the joy and excitement in your dream V8 Toyota Land Cruiser. You know everything happens for a reason in life and this was the time for your dream to come true like when you bought the old farm house it was the right time at that moment. All the best buddy and enjoy your new love 🥰. Always 🤠Colin 🤩🍻🫶

Nice truck mate, make sure you get that factory snorkel sealed up before any deep crossings
Yeah totally. Its basically just a second air filter at this stage. Good tip
Congratulations mate - from Australia 🇦🇺

Land cruisers, there's just something about em.We have a 100 series, sandy the Landy we call her.what a veheecle, your spitting facts this vid..You should be on Toyotas payroll brother
Ahhh Sandy the Landy. Beautiful mate
So happy you that’s a lovely vehicle.
I would love a chopped up Toyota 300 series.
Thanks. I reckon the 300s are sweet!
What I was told by Toyota dealer Toyota is discontinuing the V8 but bringing in the four cylinders hence the reason why the bonnet is so high
Yeah that’s what I’ve heard too.
